Wonderful service. Definitely recommend the homemade warm fruit scone! Calming jazz music complements the quiet atmosphere, sat in the courtyard. A little hideaway!

What a lovely find 😍 I was drawn to this tearoom as it is an independent business and I like to support that because there are so many chains around now. We were greeted by an absolutely delightful young man who took our order. The cream tea we ordered was delicious. Great tea and fantastic scones. I highly recommend this tearoom. 👌

Loved this little cafe! Thought we'd try it having read reviews and weren't disappointed. We sat in the little courtyard garden, which is a nice oasis from the busy street, set amongst craft shops and galleries. Two of us had cream tea, which came warmed and the scone was doughy and delicious! One had a slice of coffee cake which was rather large and tasty! Tea was in mugs, and coffee from a machine but that was fine. Service was really good, very friendly and attentive. Would return!

This is our favourite cafe in Sidmouth. The food is all home made and delicious. We love the quiche, Coronation chicken sandwich and all the cakes! Dogs are welcome and the courtyard is lovely to sit in on hot and chilly days. Great coffee and hot chocolate too.

A very great little place for some fresh and tasty food and drinks away from the bustle of Sidmouth high street. I opted for the fresh crab sandwich and it was delicious. The cappuccino was also excellent. The small courtyard cafe has a few tables inside but the vibe is outside surrounded by pottery galleries and studios. Such a quiet place with no passing traffic and very few people looking at you. A large sun sail above the courtyard would allow outside eating/drinking in a light rain. They are licensed and sell various ciders. Came away feeling well fed and refreshed in mind and body.

A really nice find. Great service, very friendly and efficient. The decor was a bit twee for my tastes but I have to admit it works with the space! I had a really good crab sandwich. My wife had a vegetable tagine which looked and smelt very good and according to my wife tasted delicious. Dog friendly, I can recommend Shelley’s for a nice lunch or afternoon tea.

If you’re ever in Sidmouth and looking for a cozy spot with incredible food and even better service, look no further than Selley’s! Julia and Richard have truly created a hidden gem that has quickly become my favourite café in town. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. But what truly sets Selley’s apart is Richard’s homemade ginger cake. It’s nothing short of divine – moist, perfectly spiced, and the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. You can tell it’s made with love and expertise. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or spending a relaxing afternoon, the food and service at Selley’s never disappoint. A true Sidmouth treasure, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Best plaice in Sidmouth. Great simple but delicious menu with daily specials. Home made cake too. The young man waiting here is a gem to the place. Can because little wait on food but worth it. Lovely courtyard outside toonif you can't squeeze in. Wear something warm but totally worth it.

This is a lovely hidden little gem. Scones were absolutely delicious, homemade and warm with fresh cream and jam. The gentlemen who runs this was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend popping in!

Easily missed this place - I've walked past it so many times, but what an absolute gem of a place. Coronation chicken with fresh coriander, sliced almonds and the most incredible sauce and toasted bread. Fresh, filling and super tasty. Soup and cheese scone were incredible too- best cheese scone ever! One of the few places you can go these days and get a really decent lunch for two for £20.
