Cafe Collective

Genuinely can't say I've ever been to a café (or any form of restaurant) quite like this place, it really is something special. The owners are so friendly and chatty, love how clearly proud they are of what they have here (as they should be!).Food is perfect, the Melting Pot I had (mushroom, butternutsquash, stilon) was so delicious; hot, gooey, and really unique. My friend and parents had the tart of the day (a courgette and pepper tart, I think it was), I didn't try it myself but they were all singing it's praises. Clean plates all around.And Nikita, the lovely dog, is just a gem. She really ties this place together and makes it feel like you're visiting a friends house rather than a café.Visiting this place is an absolute must.

Wow what a wonderful place. We pop in today for a little bite to eat but food service had stopped. I was with my partner and mum who is 86 and diabetic and in need of something to eat. The lady serving could see mum was not great and seen to her needs first getting mum a cup of tea. They very kindly offered to make us a sandwich even though food service had stopped. I can not thank you enough! As for the food, we only had sandwiches but my god they were lovely the bread so fresh the fillings all locally sourced. Very nice. Staff so friendly and went above and beyond to help my mum. Will return to try other items on the menu. Thank you!!!

As someone who was born and raised in Bideford and has seen plenty of cafes come and go I can’t recommend Cafe Collective enough. Their friendliness and quality has never changed and if you’re looking for somewhere to go for breakfast, lunch or just coffee it’s brilliant. There are plenty of options on the menu, everything is sourced locally and made fresh, the staff are always lovely and the prices are affordable. Please visit!

Stopped here for a cup of tea. Service isn’t quick but was okay. However, as we were leaving, (still in the cafe but not at the table) the owner complained to other customers about us only having ordered drinks and no food. I wish she had just politely said when we ordered instead. There was no need to be rude.

Yes I know the place is for dog lovers and that's brilliant for those who are able to continue to breath whilst in range of a dog but when you have allergic reactions to said man's best friend it is horrible. So atmosphere lost a star. The breakfast was tasty, I want to say old fashioned tasty, like you know you have eaten a good meal. I can only imagine that this is what it must be like having a mom who would feed you up if you felt a little sad. Good value, traditional cafe and the staff are so friendly. Gave good information on charity shops in the area. A very warm welcome awaits you.
