What 30statesJo likes about Johns Of Appledore:
Local friends recommended that stopped by at John’s as it was a ‘local institution’. We were spoilt for choice, but opted for a selection of the chocolate brownies having read an online review. We were not disappointed and the staff were lovely. View all feedback. What SunSeekerwithkids doesn't like about Johns Of Appledore:
I wrote a great review a long time ago. Since then we've had a couple of visits and there is definitely a theme that the team are not as happy. You kind of have to decide at a team level whether you like tourists or... View all feedback.

We were disappointed by the overpriced cream tea served in a cardboard box at this restaurant. Despite being told we could eat-in, the scone, jam, and cream wer...

Go to john's when we visit appledore every few weeks, always have a well done vegan pasty to take away and sit on seat facing water. Really lovely pastys.

Nestled by the waterfront, John's of Appledore has emerged as a beloved gem in the town, offering a delightful selection of local and artisan groceries. The cozy café serves up delectable coffees, with standout pastries like their infamous sausage rolls and butterscotch blondies. While the shop impresses with its offerings, some customers have expressed concerns about service inconsistencies and sourcing practices. Nevertheless, the friendly staff and inviting ambiance keep many returning for its picnic boxes and warm atmosphere. In a community-focused establishment, John's of Appledore remains a charming spot worth visiting for both locals and tourists alike.

What a shame, food and drink is lovely if a little expensive which would be fine if the people working there weren’t so miserable with customers and each other....
