Wonderful warm reception by all the volunteer staff when we visited whilst walking the Jubilee Trail. Great coffee in the little cafe and good selection of local ales to take on our journey. Well stocked, bright and cheerful shop, highly recommended! Martin

Classic village store, well stocked with an incredible range of product. Staff are all volunteers and keen to give good service. Not quite Champs Elysees but better, nice coffee served indoors or on the charming veranda-on-the-street watching typical country village life happening. Fantastic cream teas or full cooked breakfast!! Oh yes and food for the guinea pig ☺️. Lovely, why not try it.

Great cycling stop. Had been turned away by Forde Abbey - don't go there if you're a cyclist, you're no longer welcome unless you pay an entrance fee. We rocked up 10 mins before closing time, but no worries, we were made to feel v welcome and a great seating outside in the sun on a quiet village road, parfait, we will return!

Fab Community Shop. We sat outside for coffee and an excellent Chelsea bun (which was large enough for 2 of us!) Provided with cushions and a blanket each! Friendly and we'll worth a visit!!

A vibrant local village owned and run shop and cafe. Lovely people, informal atmosphere, all the basics and many of the luxuries. Saturday morning baps are well worth sampling! Small outdoor seating area, where dogs are welcome, in the sun for most of the day. A thriving local shop that all villages would give their eye teeth to have.

Arrived at the shop a few minutes after the scheduled closing time but helpful staff nevertheless supplied two excellent flat whites and a delicious piece of homemade cake....whilst waiting for them we browsed the shelves and found an excellent selection of locally sourced products.....a really nice shop/cafe which is open seven days a week

This volunteer-run shop and cafe is the beating heart of this lovely village. For a small shop it is remarkably well stocked and the team are as friendly as could be. If you’re passing through Thorncombe, stop by and grab a coffee or some delicious cake.

Brilliant little shop. All the basics and lots of interesting extras, including local brands. Excellent wine selection, super-fresh fruit & veg, and handy home-made frozen curries etc. Good cakes and a warm welcome!
