Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
JAR Sidmouth Ltd is one of those places that seems to have fallen off the culinary map. While some love the friendly service and the coffee, others are met with dirty tables and limited cake options. Patrick’s got a soft spot for the breakfast and praises the friendly staff, but Celia’s experience suggests they could use a serious clean-up crew. The vibe is hit or miss, and it seems like it depends on who’s working that day.
The takeaway food might do the trick if you're in a hurry, but if you want to dine in, you might find yourself wishing you had brought your own disinfectant. There’s potential here, but they need to pull their socks up and give this café the TLC it deserves. It’s not all bad, but don’t expect a five-star experience.
"This is a great little café/bakery, and perfect for a quick breakfast/lunch/tea."
"Served by a lovely young lad called phill or Finn."
"The gentleman behind the counter was lovely, young man with a constant smile."
