The Old Library in Teignbridge

My wife and I were there afternoon. The young lady who served us was a real joy. Very polite and explained what was available. However what let the place down was the very inappropriate language of the female part owner which could be heard across the restaurant. This was brought to her attention when paying and I felt the response was very condescending. Ok dear, yes dear is not the way to reply. Just apologise and learn from it. Set the appropriate standard and keep your voices down please if you have to use inappropriate language. You would have had 5 stars if it was not for this !

I come in here frequently for the amazing date and almond cakes, one day I’ll get around to having something else, the menu looks amazing. The staff are always smiley and friendly too.

Had breakfast at the Old Library yesterday with my wife. We both had the OLB Full breakfast. It was superb, thanks Amy & Jo, and your whole team. We come here as often as we can and have never been disappointed. The standard of the food, the lovely friendly staff and the atmosphere are all first class. A very special place. Thank you

Came here twice for brunch (actually because some more local places let us down with closed kitchens). Had the veggie breakfast and made it vegan by removing the egg for which the cost was reduced (a lovely touch considering we normally have to pay the same price despite having less). The sausages were great - so realistic that we had to check with the waitress!They sometimes have vegan cakes too.Dog friendly and nice staff.Space was a premium on the first day but we sat outside in the sun.

Nice surroundings and very pleasant staff. Small menu but good quality.

Very friendly, great looking menu will come again for breakfast.

Chefs Joe & Amy do an amazing job of creating simple dishes, packed full of flavour and pinache without being modernistically fiddly. Every ingredient has a purpose, they really understand how to get best out of their produce. Portions sizes are great and priced realistically.Front of house team are attentive, efficient and friendly.A semi hidden gem (in a back street) that I discovered by accident. I look forward to returning on my future trips to Ashburton.

Really welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Absolutely massive slices of delicious cakes and variety of drinks. Perfect access for wheelchair users with parking opposite

Nice little cafe. Gets busy quite quickly in the early morning. Their cooked breakfast is a bit odd though..the 'beans' were far too hot and spicy 🔥 for any of us to eat. Good coffee and tea etc.. probably best to stick with that

Absolutely amazing food, and fantastic friendly service. Would come back without a hesitation, best food I have eaten in ages!
