Finley Browns Cafe

Finley Browns is a family-owned, dog-friendly cafe in the heart of Teignmouth, a short walk from the Back Beach, the play park and the pier, which makes it a natural stop before or after a walk along the seafront. The interior is quaint and comfortable rather than styled to a theme, and it's open all seven days of the week.

The menu covers the full range of cafe favourites - mega breakfasts, avocado smash, granola, pancakes, paninis, burgers and homemade cakes - with gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options built into the regular menu rather than a separate afterthought list. One of the owners is gluten-free themselves, so the kitchen keeps separate fryers and prep areas, a level of care that reviewers consistently mention. Speciality coffees, teas, hot chocolates and milkshakes made with dairy, soya or oat milk round out the drinks list, and the staff have a reputation for being genuinely friendly rather than just efficient.
