This is the best cafe to find in and around St Austell, I had a cooked breakfast with egg, bacon, two sausages hash browns and beans with two slices of toast and a huge pot of Cornish tea and it came to £9.20 the ladies the run this place know how to cook tasty food. The atmosphere here is great, it's spotlessly clean, plants in little nooks and little pots of fresh carnations on each table which is a nice touch!. The bathroom was spotlessly clean too. The have a great selection of homemade cakes and pastries that looked so nice but I just couldn't fit any more food in after such a gorgeous breakfast. They even gave me a loyalty card on my way out for the next visit. I highly recommend, five stars.

Came here for breakfast two days whilst on holiday, amazing atmosphere and the food is delicious. The cake counter is full of amazing home made cakes and sweet treats. The ladies work hard to be attentive to customers and are extremely welcoming to visitors. Even better that it’s dog friendly :)

Such a beautiful place. My partner and I went in to grab some toasties because my mum told me they sold them. We walked in and was greeted in the warmest way I ever had, like an old friend not a customer :) After browsing the menu we decided to both have a milkshake which were delicious, my partner chose the boasted tuna sandwich which she said was up there with one of the best she’s ever had, and I changed my mind and went for banana and nutella pancakes, DELICOUS!!!!! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. the food- AMAZING. The cleanliness - AMAZING. The service -AMAZING. thank you so much we will be back again soon

We have been meaning to visit for a while and finally found time today. Very friendly staff and great service. Great menu and also some daily specials too. Ham cheese and pineapple panini came with salad and coleslaw and was very nice. Roast chicken salad bap was delicious and came with salad and crisps. Generous portion sizes but still managed to choose something from the lovely selection of cakes after! I can highly recommend the biscoff rocky road. Delicious Top americano coffee (had 2 cups!) And milkshakes with all the trimmings. We cant wait for a second visit. Visited again and enjoyed the standard breakfast. Very good value.
