This was my third cream tea whilst I was holiday in Cornwall and this was by far the best tasting. Lovely fresh homemade scones and a choice of plain or sultana’s scone- the others didn’t offer this option. The service was very efficient by the young man waiting the tables. Very noticeably clean cafe whilst still managing to have charm and coziness.
Definitely worth a visit whilst visiting fowey for a break and refreshment.
Thank you- Food

Really cute little cafe. Good prices, and top quality food & drinks. A very personal feel to the place; the owner was in the process of baking a chocolate cake as we are our delicious cream tea!
Super friendly staff . Lovely quick service and super tasty food. Topped off with a great coffee. What more could you want?

Called in last week with my wife for coffee. While we were waiting I noticed they had a special of homemade beef stew with granary bread. This sounded to good to miss so I ordered one. I was not disappointed it was absolutely lovely. My wife ordered a sandwich and she said it was really good. The service and friendliness of all the staff was great. If you find yourself in Fowey don't miss this little gem.
Amazing place with yummy sandwiches,cakes and drinks. Really good prices like for Fowey,will definitely come back again!

Such a pretty little cafe consisting of six tables. We were warmly greeted and decided to share a BLT sandwich (well filled) and Cornish Cream Tea (home baked scones). All food was freshly prepared and delicious. Coffees were nice and strong too. A great price at £17. Will definitely call back.

Had 2 lovely cream teas here today, very reasonable prices and plenty to choose from on the menu
Whilst on holiday we stopped here for a snack. My husband had a massive cream tea , 2 gorgeous warm scones with ham and a big pot of clotted cream...delicious. I had a toasted tea cake which was good. Lovely staff too

What a cracking little cafe in Fowey. Perfect in every way, friendly service, delicious 😋 food, I had a prawn open sandwich with an abundance of king prawns and hubby had a salmon and cheese bagel. Very nice coffee too, all very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back, thank you

I love this place and have been here several times. It's small but the breakfast is perfect. Everything is fresh and cooked well and is perhaps the only "full English" breakfast I've found where I genuinely enjoy everything on the plate.
Tinned tomatoes? Nope, it's a fresh half that's been lightly fried on one side.
Tinned mushrooms? Nope, they're fresh and again, lightly fried.
Perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk? You bet.
I really enjoy every visit here and you will too.- Service

Lovely cafe. Tasty soup & cheese scone, in a warm & cosy atmosphere. Perfect cafe
Simply the best place in Fowey for a cooked breakfast. Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection and Julian and his staff are friendly, attentive and go out their way to help. The coffee is deliciously smooth, being flavoursome and aromatic. The café is a must whenever we stay at Fowey and we have no hesitation is recommending it.
