Lovely little place, hidden down a side street. Good coffee, huge slices of cake and friendly service. We’re not local (we’ll have no trouble here), but will definitely return when we visit again. Dog friendly too.

Felt we had to have a cream tea before our holiday in Cornwall ended. Was tempted by the fabulous scones we saw in the window! Lovely accomodating staff, cosy atmosphere. The food was delicious. Really yummy lattes too. One of the highlights of our trip.

Very friendly, excellent cake (it was really delicious) and my favourite tea (Lapsang Soughing) which I can rarely get in a cafe. I can’t recommend this cafe highly enough. I will definitely be going back. Really accommodating for a baby too.
