The Coffee Mill - Menu

Limited staff slow service small scones no tea bag left in the tea or a pot and disposable plates etc bit disappointing to be honest for such a busy area

Beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy perfect coffee which is a good size compared to other places in lynmouth! Would definitely recommend, yes I had to queue but if there’s a queue then it means it’s good and freshly made!!!

Lovely place to sit outside in the garden. Excellent tea and coffee. We also had two delicious scones and two hearty pasties. Very nice. Lovely staff Just a nice place to take a seat and relax for half an hour. Highly recommended

Omg what can I say this little coffee shop is amazing, the lady who was serving is an absolute dream. She’s so friendly and lovely. She fell in love with our dog Archie. Lynmouth it self is lovely. Very dog friendly which we loved.

Stoped here after a walk for two pasties to take away have got to be worst pasties ever one biteand put them in binthen found Tuck Box who sold pasties said locals pasty well have got to be best pasties we have ever had and we have eaten loads well done tuck box

This used to be such a nice cafe with lots of choice of food. Sadly they only use the outside seating now, you queue up and can see a couple of cakes which are high up on shelves. Some ready wrapped sandwiches which all were the same. Takeaway cups , and you get told to put your stuff in the bins when you’re finished. It’s a shame when it’s such a nice setting.

All the signs about not eating your own food on the premises etc immediately put you on edge. Like being accused of something that wouldn 't cross your mind. Also as a cyclist I was made to feel very unwelcome. Told to move my expensive bike to an insecure location even though there was nobody else in the garden to upset. Then had a lengthy discussion with owner about how apparently nobody would steal a bike in Lynmouth. I thought the term for the industry was 'Hospitality ' Pricey too considering you get disposable plate cup which you are expected to bin yourself McDonalds style.

If you read my other reviews, you will realise that I am a complimentary and encouraging person. My reaction to “The CoffeeMill” then, is new for me. I was feeling ill due to breathing issues, and needed to sit down. This establishment has a gorgeous little garden I remember from 30 years ago. We headed there, and hubby went off to find refreshments while I sat down. I think the fact that we had quite a lengthy chat this morning about how awful it was, speaks volumes! All the other negative reviews are spot on and we cannot imagine why the owners are running this place into the ground so deliberately! The setting is quite literally the ONLY thing in its favour.

I’d give a zero star if it was possible. From reading the negative reviews here, my experience was the same as many others who took the time to review this apparently charming location. Don’t be fooled by the enticing outdoor seating area, the husband and wife owners are a very rude and unpleasant pair to deal with, humiliating customers in public and pointing to signs to validate their self created rules. There are no less than 16 signs around their garden seating area which you don’t see until after you’ve made your purchase at their takeaway counter. This pair are completely irrational and inflexible and have zero customer service skills. Avoid at all costs and I’d suggest they seek an in...
