Johns Of Appledore - Bideford

Absolutely fantastic deli!
Johns of Appledore is a real gem — everything about this place is top quality.

The range of fresh produce, local treats, cheeses, and baked goods is amazing. You can tell everything is carefully selected, and the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

We popped in for some lunch and were blown away by the fresh sandwiches, homemade cakes, and excellent coffee.

There’s a lovely little seating area if you want to eat in, and the whole place has a welcoming, relaxed vibe.

If you’re in Appledore, this is a must-visit. Whether you’re picking up picnic bits, browsing local goodies, or just stopping for a bite to eat, Johns delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Went for breakfast and found that the menu was really limited compared to what they say the menu is online. Had checked beforehand as wanted some vegetarian options. Very little for vegetarians actually and when I asked for a breakfast sandwich with just the eggs (ie no sausage or bacon) was told I would have to pay the full price for it. Croissants are lovely but would not bother to eat in again. Really expensive too!

We stopped here, on a Top 10 North Devon cream tea recommendation and were very disappointed. We waited for 10 minutes as they had been busy, which was fine. We had a table on the pavement on a warm day. Lovely to be outside.

2 large scones which were warm and looked lovely, however they were dense, heavy and very dry to eat. Jam was the jelly type that may, or may not have seen fruit at some point, clotted cream was such a small portion that it was just a smear over each scone. I couldn't finish more than about 60%, certainly needed water and the pot of tea to help it down. Nice pot of tea which gave 2 large cups

Had a takeaway coffee - simple coffee with milk (not a latte, Americano if you like with dash of milk) - it was like dishwater - seriously for £3.65 as a takeaway it was not worth the £1.29 McDonalds would have charged (and their coffee is much superior to this) - I think they must have used a jar of Nescafé … maybe … just a cheaper version.

My wife had a Latte - she said hers was “ok” but not worth the £4.25 … this shop clearly trades on its “fine food” marketing … coffee doesn’t match what liked very nice “product” on display …

Fantastic selection of local produce & Homemade treats. Great wine and alcohol selection, picked up a bottle today and it was delicious! Staff always are friendly and helpful.

Absolutely dreadful experience. Visited Sunday afternoon, 3 female members of staff busy talking badly about a colleague who wasn't in that day. Served like we interrupted their gossiping time. Stale scone, cream served in a dirty pot and a freezing cold brownie. When I highlighted this I was told " we keep them in the fridge people like cold brownies " - avoid this place awful service pricey and dreadful quality.

Really nice cafe and shop combined. I had a really good Americano. Their pies are a delight, all done with a welcome and a smile, best place for a coffee

Went there with my sister on a day out. Nice little take away. Freshly made waffles. I got the strawberry and cream waffle. And a take away tea in a fully recyclable cup. The waffle was lovely and staff very nice.
