Dart Cafe

I had a scone with cream and jam. I would travel across the pond again for it. Also a hot cappuccino. Delicious. Lovely, local flavor.

From the outside, Dart Café looks like a down-to-earth, no-frills spot. Step inside and it’s basic, bare, and honestly scruffy. The setup is minimal — just random tables and chairs thrown about, not exactly inviting. The man serving (who I assume is the owner) comes across rude and completely uninterested in customer service. I ordered a sausage bap for £7 — expecting at least something half-decent for that price — but what I got was genuinely depressing. He asked whether I wanted white or granary bread — I said granary — yet out came the biggest, cheapest white bap I’ve ever seen. Inside: two sad, tiny sausages rattling around inside the bread like loose change, plus a third pathetic chipolata thrown in like an afterthought. £7 for that? I wish I’d never handed over a penny to this bloke’s business. To make matters worse, the vibe inside was awkward — several reserved tables (despite the place being nearly empty), and other customers sat there silently, watching like I’d grown a third head. Not exactly welcoming. If you’re in Dartmouth and want a proper breakfast bap — save yourself the disappointment and head to Dylemma instead. Lovely little coffee shop, great baps at £3.50, lovely milkshakes, and customer service how it should be — friendly, polite, and actually pleased to see you. Wish I’d found them first — hopefully this helps others avoid the same mistake

Lovely service, friendly and welcoming. Really tasty food, served very promptly. Fab full english breakfast. Excellent iced coffee. Dog friendly.

What an amazing find, friendly host, very tasty breakfast baps and lovely fresh coffee. To top it off for us it's dog friendly too 😀

So glad we found this little gem. Full breakfast, scrambled egg on granary toast, flat white and redbush tea with oat milk.

Canny cuppa. Avoid the brownie it's just bad. You will be fine if the owner knows you. If you are visiting the area I would go elsewhere. Over fifteen customers (visitors on tours) where refused as they were told the tables were reserved but when locals came in they were told to sit anywhere as the signs meant nothing. Server of the day was quite rude.

Great breakfast and pancakes.... friendly staff.....was a lovely visit...will definitely pop in again

The best blueberry pancakes. But closing time was 1 o'clock, despite interest from hungry travellers.
