Column Bakehouse Cafe Ocean Studios in Plymouth

Lovely spacious cafe/art gallery. Great value coffee.

Not sure what happened to this place, as it used to be good! Visited recently and it was abysmal.Our drink order took about 25 minutes to arrive, despite the cafe being reasonably quiet. Tables were dirty and not being cleared and cleaned, so sat amongst dirty dishes. Drinks were all served in takeaway cups, which makes for a poor customer experience and is bad for the environment. Also makes you wonder, if staff aren't needed to clean dishes or clear tables, why is service so slow?Coffee was okay, and served in correct sized (albeit takeaway) cups. However, the tea was incredibly weak and incredibly milky- Google "bad cup of tea" and you'll get the idea. We weren't even asked if we wanted milk, and weren't offered sugar either. Tea tasted of fish, which we can only assume was cheap tea bags.To add insult to injury, the prices for all of this was expensive! If it was a pound a cup, you might be able to excuse the burger van quality.I was considering using the workspace here, but judging by the quality of the cafe, I'll be giving it a miss.Avoid this place and go literally anywhere else on Royal William Yard. Failing that, bring your own thermos and takeaway cup and get a better drink for a fraction of the price.

Lovely little space for a coffee and a catch up with a friend. Great customer service in addition, Nina makes a cracking caramel latte!

It's a good place to rest and have a coffee and snack with artwork around. The staff are all fantastic and friendly.

Sat outside and enjoyed a coffee with friends. Looking forward to being inside again soon

Great coffee, very freshly baked pastry. However, it's not set up as a day to day cafe, it took 35 minutes to get that coffee and pastry. As an organisation it looks to be doing good things for the area and community. But it's not a coffee shop, more a good cause with a coffee machine.

Great service and the hazelnut mocha is lovely. They have unlimited filter coffee too so if you want to sit down in a calm atmosphere and read a book with loads of coffee for £3.50 you can

Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. We were here during the monthly market at Royal William Yard and had some drinks. Really enjoy this place.

Fantastic rustic cafe. Food is light lunch style with toasties and sandwiches. Barista style coffee. And once you order they provide table service which is fantastic!! Take note othe Cafè's!!!!!! Also we grabbed some freshly baked bread on the way out at their shop.

Had a lovely coffee and cake here. The cafe has a really nice atmosphere and feel to it. The selection of cakes and coffees were great and had something to suit everyone. They also offer a breakfast and lunch menu. There is also a lovely display of artwork to look at and also craft items which you can buy.
