Regency Tea Room

Regency Tea Room is a family-run spot on Regent Street, just off the Teignmouth seafront, doing traditional British tea-room fare with a bit more polish than the name might suggest. It's licensed and serves full traditional afternoon tea and Devon cream teas alongside homemade scones and cakes, a full English breakfast, chunky sandwiches, paninis, and daily seasonal specials built around homemade soups.

It's dog-friendly with easy wheelchair access, and takes group bookings for parties, wakes and club meetings as well as casual walk-ins. Gluten-free and vegan options are handled properly rather than as an afterthought. Open 9.30 to 4 on weekdays and 9.30 to 4.30 at weekends, it has built a strong local reputation - a 4.7-star rating from close to 190 Google reviews and a regular spot near the top of Teignmouth's tea rooms and cafes.
