Teignmouth Bake House

Teignmouth Bake House sits in the Triangle, a short walk from the seafront, and bakes everything on site so pasties and pastries come out warm rather than reheated. The pasty range covers the classics - steak, and cheese and onion - alongside plant-based versions, with pies and sausage rolls made the same way, proper flaky pastry rather than shortcut puff.

Cakes are a strong point too, especially the millionaire's slice - caramel and chocolate over a biscuit base - and there's a full range of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and vegetarian options handled without fuss. Coffee comes from beans roasted in the South West, and baguettes are filled with proper sliced chicken breast or a vegetarian alternative rather than pre-packed fillings. It's dog-friendly, with outdoor seating looking onto the square, and geared toward a stop between walks along the promenade as much as a planned visit, with those outdoor tables filling up fast on a sunny morning.
