The Old Java Coffee House

The Old Java Coffee House sits on Den Road in Teignmouth, close to the seafront, and is built for people who take their coffee seriously. It works exclusively with 100% Arabica gourmet beans, roasted dark, medium and light across more than ten different blends, including a decaffeinated option. It's also the only coffee shop in South Devon licensed to sell JING teas, a range normally reserved for high-end restaurants and hotels.

The space is bright and welcoming with plenty of seating, and it's dog-friendly, which matters on a seafront town like Teignmouth. Gluten-free bread is available and sandwiches can be made gluten-free on request, alongside attentive table service. It sits comfortably in Teignmouth's upper tier of cafes, rated 4.4 on Tripadvisor and inside the top 15 of around 70 places to eat in town - worth seeking out over a standard high street coffee stop.
