Absolutely phenomenal toastie, love the combination of fillings, really well designed. There’s a satisfying crunch in the coleslaw and tanginess in the pickles and barbecue pork. Not such a fan of radio music lol but I love the layout of tables and chairs and decor is really lovely. Always clean in store and service is speedy fast. Couldn’t reccomend this place more!

Lovely lunch brunch. Omelette was best I’ve ever had. Husbands beef sandwich huge and tasty. Coffee always good. Been before by myself for halloumi and roast veg toastie. Very good veggie options and lovely cakes. Can be busy with students from 1pm so recommend lunch brunch to avoid the rush

5/5 in all areas!! Me and my boyfriend popped in to Dawsteps today on our way back home from University. The staff are lovely, polite and create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We had a roast chicken sandwich and a pulled pork toastie, followed by brownies & hot drinks. The bread they use is my new favourite ever, it’s so soft and delicious and the brownies are to die for. Overall the food was overwhelmingly tasty, we’ve agreed we’re coming back again soon!!- Service

My fiance and I had a lovely time. I made a post on the Plymouth Facebook page looking for a good hefty sandwich. After many recommendations to dawsteps, the sweet owner invited us to try their Thanksgiving sandwich.
We got a vanilla iced latte, which was great, a Twix blondie, which was my favorite, red velvet slice, Thanksgiving sandwich, and pulled pork sandwich.
The staff was very nice and funny, the food was great and filled me up from lunch to dinner. Highlight for me was the Twix blondie. It had an insanely good brownie on it that was fudgey. And the pulled pork sandwich was great!
Thanks for the great time. we will be back again!- Service

I came here for the first time the other day, I had the ham and egg sandwich and some carrot cake, they were both very nice and would 100% Recommend! However, it is a little on the pricey side the everything is good quality and quite large servings, and you are definitely getting your moneys worth! Everything is super clean and tidy and the staff are all really friendly!

Best sausage and egg butty EVER!
We popped in for a sandwich and a coffee but only had 20 minutes. Despite being super busy, the owner was really welcoming and accommodating - they hastened our order as they knew we were in a rush.
The sausage and egg sandwich was on thickest fresh brown bread with yummy runny eggs, just as I'd requested. The egg and cress sandwich that my partner had was GIANT! The food was so tasty and very filling! And the black americanos - Perfecto -
Quality coffees, food, vibe and service! This place is a gem!
We will be back! X- Service

Best cafe in Plymouth! Fantastic food - made fresh and using quality ingredients. Excellent service, punctual and always friendly but professional. Superb atmosphere - great mix of students, local workers on lunch breaks and retirees. The location near the University, and Plymouth city centre is ideal. Please stay as you are, Tom

Utterly fantastic, if you're reading this in Decembet opt for the Christmas special. You won't regret it. The Yorkshire pudding on top completes it. The staff were all lovely and friendly too. Wonderful place, you will not regret it.

Best sandwich I've ever eaten! I pop into Dawsteps regularly. The staff are so friendly and it's a great place to get some work done. I have tried lots of the homemade cakes, and honestly, the best sandwich I've ever eaten was from here! Pulled pork, hash browns, eggs... Keep an eye out on the specials board for some real gems.

We are so thankful to have this wonderful cafe in our neighbourhood. The owner makes you feel like family and the decor adds to that comfortable feeing. The food is homemade and delicious and there is always a tempting range of homemade cakes.
Best sandwiches in Plymouth, a great stop for lunch. Tina and all the team are so so friendly and go above and beyond to make it such a lovely experience every time we go in.

What can I say… amazing food, amazing staff and very reasonably priced. All the cakes and bakes looked scrumptious. I opted for the toastie special which was bombay chicken, and it was unbelievable. Be sure to pop on down to this brilliant little independent!
