Visited on the recommendation of a friend and was delighted to have found what is to become my go to place to have a cuppa and a catch up with friends. The surroundings of the shop makes for a really interesting setting and the coffee shop is a really tasteful, quality space to relax. The lady that runs the café was delightful - welcoming, attentive and friendly. My friend and I had delicious cheese and cherry scones, but I will definitely return to sample the stunning home made cakes on offer. This venue is unsuitable for children, because of all the delicate objects, but definitely the perfect place to have a peaceful moment to relax.
My work colleagues and I were bought a voucher for afternoon tea and it was brilliant. The staff in the shop couldn’t do enough for us with top ups of tea and extra clotted cream. We will definitely be back and even bought a voucher for a family member after enjoying it so much. Thank you.
Lovely tea room, irresistible cakes! A very friendly place where dogs are made welcome. We certainly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend.
Went alone to check out The Chart Room after hearing such lovely reviews & enjoyed a lovely big slice of Guinness cake with a cuppa tea. Must admit I then returned the following day to enjoy a lovely scone & coffee. It's such a peaceful place with friendly staff. Well done & thank you.
Wow what a fabulous place , the staff are a pleasure and the coffee and cake was the best I’ve had in years !
Just had a lovely cream tea, and my friend had a cheese tea, both of which were delicious and just the right amount and great value. Then coffees afterwards which were also really nice, some coffee is not nice but this was great flavour. Will definitely be going back :)
The Steam Packet shop itself isn't geared up for children, and so I would suggest this is a for your more mature coffee and cake lovers, or if you have children, make this somewhere you go when you are without them so you can enjoy it without worrying about the kids knocking something over!
I think this is the most interesting and special new coffee lounge in Brixham. The bar is set. Excellent service, tasty home made cakes, ever changing beautiful light lunches. A place to take some time to observe the best Cunard artifacts and curio whilst enjoying a first class tea or coffee. Friendly
Hurrah finally a place where grown ups can have a child free space. Stop being so selfish and over dramatic. Take your children to one of the other hundred places available.
To the people comparing this policy to racism and ablism shame on you.
A dog friendly and no-kids café sounds too good to be true! Please franchise quickly so the rest of us can also enjoy what sounds like a piece of heaven 😍
Such an amazing place, very friendly and welcoming, well worth a visit. We are from Southampton ourselves so we were very interested in all the memorabilia. Will definitely be visiting again
Went to sample a cream tea yesterday after walk to Berry Head. Lovely peaceful place with great character. Scones and jam delicious. Will be back for coffee and cake! X
For not allowing children but allowing dogs. We need more places like this. Children are absolutely everywhere and parents seem to think they are entitled to taking over the world. Well some of us don't really enjoy kids yelling around wherever we go! Good job! I really hope more places will start implementing this policy!
Excellent cream tea and Victoria sponge. Can't recommend highly enough. See you again soon!
Friendly helpful staff...good food...a welcome addition to the town.
Love the Cunard memorabilia under the glass table tops too.
Had a fantastic long weekend in Brixham. With some lovely friends. Went a long to the charter room for hot chocolate & a piece delicious carrot cake.
Wonderful, unique cafe. An absolute hidden gem. Retro, ship themed cafe/mini museum experience (even the loo is brilliant and not to be missed). The staff were so welcoming- Karen who served us was so attentive and Bob the owner made us feel so welcome and told us the history of the place and how it’s his retirement passion. Lovely coffee, cakes, afternoon teas and breakfasts. Wonderful atmosphere and artifacts. Not to be missed!!
Found by accident we popped in for a coffe but came out as changed man...when we got in i looked around and was like a cunard whitestar mini museum...then We met Bob the owner who used to work on the QE2.. i have worked on the QM2..so a long chat started!! Got to write my name on the wall too!!( all members who were member of any cunard ships can write their name on the wall!!!)
The place itself is just stunning with so many special features!!!( spoiler allert please go to toilet while you there!!!!)
The food and coffee is fantastic and the whole vibe is eye watering!!!if you like the ocean liner culture started with the Titanic, you must visit!!!!
The most amazing little ‘Davy Jones' Locker’ with lots of one of a kind antiques, ocean liner collectibles and originals.
The coffee lounge has a great selection of cakes (and they’re not stingy with their slices), various brunch items including vegan and vegetarian options and IMO the best coffee in Brixham.
The staff are always friendly and attentive and the owner (Bob) is very knowledgeable, passionate and happy to chat.
The USP for me is that they have a policy of no children under 12, but dogs are welcome, which explains the pleasant atmosphere.
They even have theme related memorabilia under the glass table tops, walls signed by ex mariners and a carefully curated playlist.
P.S. Don’t forget to visit The Engine Room!
It's a drizzly Saturday afternoon, although the morning was refreshingly sunny, for March. This is our first visit here. It's not busy thankfully, as I can see this place getting jammed. Great location, built like a ship, many artifacts for sale, even, if I may say, including food and drink. We'll be back.
What an absolute delight this place is. The most amazing memorabilia adorns the walls. There are hand written memories about former naval officers and cruise staff.
The food is great, perfectly fresh scrumptious sandwiches served with a smile and Bob the owner is very attentive and kind.
Great place
I'm visiting from the Netherlands, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this café. I was immersed in the classic English high tea culture, and I absolutely loved it. The service was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it.
Spent a very relaxing afternoon chilling at The Chart Room First Class Coffee Lounge in Brixham South Devon.
Great ambience, service and FOOD!
Well worth a visit.
Had a lovely lunch with the family. Very attentive staff and had a lovely chat with Bob the owner. A very interesting chap with a wealth of knowledge everything nautical.
Hope to pop in again soon
lots of memorabilia to look at.
Moist courgette and avocado cake, great atmosphere with friendly staff great service.
Had a most delightful lunch here yesterday. A tasty choice of sandwiches, lovely friendly service and all in the most fascinating setting of cruise ship memorabilia. Highly recommend.
