There is a horribly rude woman that works here. We popped in earlier today and after being left waiting we decided to move some chairs to an empty table by the door. We were about to sit down when she marched over and told us that we were blocking a fire escape. My mother, wanting to express that she didn't feel that we would be blocking anything, was barely given the time to speak before the lady interrupted and barked, "I suppose the chairs walked themselves over here?". In utter shock, we left immediately.
Some tips for the future: Perhaps first consider suggesting to us that we come back a

I would like to rate better as its rather a cute place and the lady who we paid and brought our food was a fantastic service provider polite friendly lovely but our waitress ruined our experience condescending and a little rude .Having seen the reviews before visiting was expecting more .when asking about cream teas I asked if it came with a drink the expression and response she may of well said Duh!!! And another family of 3 came in after us and while taking their order she said you need to hurry up as we stop taking hot food orders in about 3 minutes. I did not feel very welcome having been a

My friend and I were caught in a huge rainstorm and managed to get into Tea and tittle tattle to take cover. It was wonderfully quaint in its decor and had a real traditional English tea shop feel to it.
The cream tea was good quality and very reasonably priced considering its location. The shop was full with people waiting outside to come in which is always a good sign.
The staff were friendly and covid savvy and the only thing I would have changed about them is I would have given them uniforms to wear.
Definitely worth a visit when you are in Budleigh well done

What a fabulous Afternoon Tea we had from Tittle Tattle this afternoon - thank you for a superb birthday tea beautifully presented in take-away boxes with doilies and recyclable wooden cutlery. Beautiful sandwiches 2 savouries 2 scones with clotted cream & jam 1 biscuit 1 meringue 3 cake portions EACH! Everything home-made, fresh and delicious. Thank you for going the extra mile, and all best wishes for a success return to profitable trading as soon as it’s safe.

We often during lockdown, have had coffees and bacon butties on a Sunday - always freshly cooked and lush! Budleigh is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the coast.
So today we tried the Sunday roast takeaway. Absolutely lovely - really home cooked flavour and warmed through later in the day it was delicious.
Always friendly people and service - worth considering any day outside of lockdown!

Fantastic little place! Amazing cream tea!! My son enjoyed the toast and jam so much we purchased some jam and went to the local baker that they source the bread from to get some to make at home!
Will definitely return when I am in Devon again! Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming!
Can not recommend enough!
