We just stopped in here on the way back from the Seaton tram. Such a delicious cream tea! Warm scones, jam and cold clotted cream. Absolutely delightful! Very warm, welcoming atmosphere and so many plants to look at outside, just beautiful surroundings. Well worth a visit. They do oat milk and decaf coffee plus vegan & gluten free cake too.

This place is a gem!! We were looking for a dog friendly spot for some dinner and this hit the spot and more. The staff were so friendly and patient with our slightly noisy dog. The local cakes they had were UNBELIEVABLE! If we were local we’d be here all the time. Definitely a place to visit if you want a cute,friendly and unique cafe.

Beautiful, lovely cream tea shop near the Tramway stop. They put an effort to the place. The cream tea experience was nice, even on a rainy day , we still appreciated the outdoor experience. Highly recommended!

Came with my daughter and grandchildren last Sunday. What a little gem. They loved their food and milkshakes and the adults, the cream teas. Great bonus of the toddler play area which kept the children entertained. Friendly owners and highly recommended.

A hidden gem! I highly recommend Liddons Dairy Tea Room. It is a stones throw away from the Colyton Tram station and worth the short walk. Whether you have a cream tea, one of their delicious cheese scones or lunch, you will not be disappointed. Everything is fresh and tasty, at competitive prices. The ambience inside and the outside space are relaxing, clean and peaceful.

Just stopped by at Liddons Tea Room for a Devon Cream Tea and we were not disappointed. Lovely little setting and outlook to enjoy. Absolutely delicious scones! Definitely worth a stop.
