Undoubtedly the best cafe I have had in Newquay Cornwall. Service was bit slow though lol. Good outdoor seating, delicious food. We tried vegan breakfast., item were fresh and tasted absolutely amazing.It's next to lake, which make it more special. Prices are also reasonable. Plenty of free car parking spaces available. If you are visiting Newquay, I definitely recommend this place.

I visited a few weeks ago for brunch and was completely bowled over by the bacon and egg sandwich. It was incredible. Huge and packed with really good quality produce. The fry up was also very well received. Good options for teas and very friendly staff. View is nice too!

Excellent restaurant! We visited today for the first time and we were so impressed. Not only was the cake HUGE but it was very reasonably priced and delicious. We were also very impressed with the way the staff dealt with some very challenging customers. We didn't know about the 'Pie night', but we will be returning soon! Thankyou!

Great food (we had the Wednesday pasta/pizza and cocktail offer for 15), and friendly, prompt service. We arrived just as service was ending at 8pm but we were still made to feel welcome and food was fresh and tasty. Price was a bargain for portion size plus a proper Gin cocktail. Highly recommend.
