Artisam's Bakery - Torridge

Unfortunately we got here too late in the day to buy much as it was all sold. We didn't eat in. We did manage a baguette and some cake, both of which were great. Sam (I presume he is Sam?? behind the counter, was really cheerful and friendly, and we spent a while swapping baking tips and advice. We shall be visiting again next time we are in Holsworthy!

This restaurant is a fantastic find for a satisfying meal. The customer service is top-notch and they offer a diverse menu of homemade dishes.

This bakery with an attached cafe is fantastic. The owner clearly has a passion for what they do and is incredibly skilled at it. The food here is perfect for those who appreciate good food. Sam, I would gladly travel 260 miles just for your delicious food. The food is top-notch and the atmosphere is full of humor. Five stars all around for the fantastic food and great vibes.

I stopped by for a coffee while in Holsworthy and was greeted with a friendly welcome and genuine conversation. The coffee was simple but delicious (I opted for an Americano) and made without any unnecessary frills. There was a tempting display of breads, rolls, and cakes to choose from. I enjoyed my time relaxing in the cozy sitting area off to the side of the shop. It was a refreshing change from the typical plastic coffee shop chains. Independent businesses like this one deserve to thrive.

While I can’t deny the cakes were almost as good as I get in the town, the coffee was bitter and incredibly uninspired for an ‘Artisam’. Horribly milky when I ordered a cappuccino. Also the man handling food sneezed on his hands and then picked out cake without washing his hands!! Wouldn’t recommend the coffee, and take away cake with caution!
