What Alison R doesn't like about Curiosity Cottage:
Stopped here yesterday lunch time for a cream tea and we were not disappointed. The patio area was very busy but we asked if we could share a large table with another couple who were very accommodating. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The scones were delicious warm and light, plenty of jam and clotted cream. Would definitely recommend. View all feedback. What Claregolds likes about Curiosity Cottage:
A funny little coffee shop with curiosity things hanging on the wall but serving the absolute best scones in Devon!!! Friendly staff and excellent service delicious! View all feedback.

Curiosity Cottage in Ilfracombe's St James Place offers a charming atmosphere with friendly staff and quick service. While the menu may not be very adventurous, the cream tea and toasted sandwiches receive high praise. COVID safety measures are in place, but some customers noted areas for improvement. Overall, the cafe is a lovely spot for a casual meal, with options for vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions. With warm scones, delicious strawberry jam, and welcoming service, Curiosity Cottage is a must-visit for anyone in Devon looking for a pleasant dining experience.
