Bens Crib Box Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Absolutely delicious and really friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Coffee was exceptional. Also dog friendly which helps!

Fabulous team and fabulous breakfast and lovely brew Would definitely come again Spotlessly clean place Good price

Lovely breakfast great sausage bap and egg and bacon will certainly be back really nice staff and great products

Amazing breakfast, you won’t have any better. Staff really friendly, will definitely return on our next visit to Padstow

Cracking little place. First visit. Super clean. Fantastic breakfast, super fresh local produce, it was just a great well cooked super tasty breakfast. Had a bit of a queue but it was Saturday morning ! Great staff. Good price. Defo returning !

We had breakfast naps here twice during our week stay. Freshly cooked, friendly staff and a really good brew. Sat outside and watched the world go by - perfect spot for breakfast

Friendly staff, good food, well priced. Arrived 30 mins before closing and they couldn’t have been more accommodating, cooking us all something different. Recommended.

Great breakfast, freshly cooked to order and really friendly staff, Well worth a try. Ample parking and a great location

As always the best breakfast bap you are ever going to eat - coming here is a first day of the holiday ritual now!! Going to visit again for a full sit in fry up later in the week. You simply have to come here if in the area.

Excellent food at a good price. Staff friendly and helpful. Try the burrito breakfasts there really good.

Really glad we gave this one a try after my son recommended it! We all had the breakfast burritos which were fresh and delicious.. no complaints at all, kept us all going on our bike ride.

Got in and they welcomed us very well, helped us get a seat in as there was four of us and it was tricky to get a seat due to the small space they have inside. Service was very good as the man serving us was very polite and friendly and had no problem at all helping us customise our orders and ontop added some extra food to replace the food we took out to make our moneys worth. Food in general was very good, some amazing hash browns. Overall 5 out of 5, Brilliant cafe.

Came across this cute little box on a morning walk such lovely staff and the breakfast was such great value

Visited on Saturday after being stuck in traffic all the way from Helston - arriving just moments before they were due to stop breakfasts but they were so accommodating and kind - the food was - always is - absolutely beautiful. All cooked to perfection.

Wjat a lovely quayside café. Been there for many years and tried it out with my mum. Cannot recommend the Cheesy Feast roll enough. Absolutely delicious. Prices very reasonable for Padstow.

We stopped here a few times whilst in Padstow for the week. The food, drinks and service were always good. The smoothies are refreshing and the BLT is perfect for lunch!

Went after reading reviews on trip advisor! The breakfast was absolutely amazing! Staff were friendly! Would definitely recommend

Brilliant fry-up. Nice atmosphere, nice hosts, nothing negative at all to say. Only regret is that it’s 4 hours away from my home!

The Breakfast Burrito was fantastic! Cute little spot for a lovely breakfast! Coffee was outstanding and the staff so friendly too! Highly recommend a visit when in Padstow!

This please was recommended by local bartender. Wow what a great place to have your breakfast ! We ate there 3 days in a row. Tuna and cheese toasted yummy , simple BLT so good I had it twice and of course full English with...

Fabulous little cafe. Sat outside and watched the world go by. Perfect bacon and egg buttie and coffee. We cannot fault it!

Nice breakfast baps. I had the HLT, it was tasty :) Nice bubbly staff. Take out available and indoor seating.

So glad we found this place on our 1st day in Padstow after seeing a flyer at our Airbnb, as we didn’t want to try anywhere else after. My husband and I both agreed we haven’t had a breakfast so good in years. It was...

We had our breakfast almost everyday during our week in Padstow. We enjoyed our baps, I had bacon or sausage and my husband had hard fried egg cut in half baps. The lattes are always warm and tasty. All great value.

We had a terrific breakfast at Bens Crib Box Cafe. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food and drinks were great and good value. The breakfast Burrito (Meaty one) was delicious.

I've got to agree with many other reviewers, THE best breakfast in Padstow. Popular spot for locals to grab a quick bite before work. Freshly cooked, non- greasy & extremely tasty.

What a wonderful place, delightful friendly staff. Cheesy B wrap is to die for!!! Highly recommended

Bacon and egg bap x 2, hash brown and 2 coffees £16.10 and delicious too. We asked for well cooked bacon and it was spot on and very tasty, not plastic! Sitting outside at this tucked out of the way cafe and looking at the...

Excellent breakfast with really good produce. Not greasy in any way and coffee was spot on. Service was friendly and very welcoming. Will be back again.

Glad we used trip adviser to know of Ben's. He obviously enjoys his work, the wife had a cheesy burito and I had flapjack, both were excellent. A short distance from the harbour but well worth it. We would definitely recommend.

Great Breakfast, probably the best for miles around , freshly cooked , with quality ingredients, Fantastic pleasant staff , overall a great experience at a reasonable price ,

Another amazing breakfast at Ben's Crib Box - everything cooked fresh to order and to perfection. We only wish it wasn't a 3 hr round trip because we would absolutely be there every weekend otherwise. Everybody always really lovely, environment very clean clean tidy, prices...

Popped in for a breakfast before walking the Camel Trail and we were not disappointed Just a cabin near the harbour but it produced some very tasty and hearty food , especially the breakfast burritos which were generous and delicious. Try the hogs ! Excellent...

Down from S Devon for the day. Early start so here for a lovely breakfast, thanks to TA. Cracking Venue, Staff & Menu. Loved it, recommended.

A trip to Padstow would not be complete for me without a visit to Ben's for a breakfast burrito. My husband sticks to the traditional breakfast which is just as good.

Lovely little cafe if you want a nice lunch in a friendly atmosphere. The menu was great, coffees lovely. I ordered the chicken wrap which was delicious. My only criticism was that we waited quite a while for food and even the lady on the...

Brilliant and so friendly for families and dog. The staff were lovely and amazing breakfast burrito! Highly recommend

Never mind Cornwall, Bens Crib Box is the best cafe in the world. Ben and his team are all very charming and make you feel so welcome. Ben and Tom cook up the perfect brekkie, Gemma and Alison smashing out great coffees and smoothies. Lots...

Cracking breakfast,great value for money. Friendly cheerful staff,very attentive. Highly recommended!

5* We were recommended to go to Ben’s from a local lady when we asked where to go to shelter from the rain and we needed coffee asap!!! 5 little girls and 2 adults, we are a bit of a rowdy crew, but when we...

Arrived after a 5hr drive, friendly service, great coffee and the breakfast was superb, quality ingredients with Meaty Sausage, Golden Yolk Egg, Quality Bacon, absolutely perfect, and well cooked and presented.

My wife and I are down in Cornwal from Mudeford in Christchurch for our four yearly visit and always stop in Padstow, as it’s one of our favourite places to visit. We popped in for breakfast and cannot rate this venue enough for the friendly...

After a longish walk over from Wadebridge a breakfast was required. A sausage, bacon and egg butty was ordered and delivered with aplomb. Not the cheapest place for a fry up but given the tourist trap that is Padstow its to be expected. Would absolutely...

We came here on our last morning as we wanted a breakfast to set us up for our journey back home and were certainly not disappointed! It was yummy and cooked to perfection. We asked to have our tea at the same time as the...

We had a wonderful breakfast at Bens Crib Box. On arrival the lovely Ali and Becky were on hand to welcome us, there were no tables available but we were made to feel welcome and took a seat outside in the sunshine looking out towards...

Called in at half eleven on a damp Saturday morning. We were lucky to get the last available table, and despite it being busy they were happy with us bringing in our dog. Food was excellent, both the Breakfast and Burrito were great. Service excellent....

We noticed Ben's Crib Box Cafe while walking back to the public parking lot, we stopped in for coffee. Service was very friendly and the coffee was very good.

Best breakfast in town, personally recommend either the standard breakfast or the burritos (Meaty B in particular). Well priced and staff are always on the ball, don’t miss this place if you’re visiting Padstow!

What an amazing place me and my girlfriend had the crib burrito tasted great and staff our lovely and welcoming.

Having not been to Padstow over the main summer season we were so pleased to get that way again and have yet another outstanding breakfast at Ben's Crib Box. Service always fantastic- with a warm welcome. Food is always faultless, cooked fresh to order and...

You can keep your down nose silver service … get your self here… unassuming from the outside with the warmest of welcome from the staff and the hottest of breakfasts …. So so important.. who the hell wants a lukewarm sausage ? Oh er Mrs...

Visited twice when in Padstow. Cracking breakfasts! Best place to eat in Padstow and the staff are all really lovely too

This cafe is situated by the National Lobster Hatchery car park, with views over the Camel Estuary. We had a variety of coffees and milkshakes, all of which were very nice. A great little cafe.

A handy cafe right by the lobster hatchery car park. Lovely friendly service and great coffee. A bit of a gem, especially when other cafes are full to bursting. A few outdoor tables and a few more inside. Unpretentious and we loved it.

The best breakfast/lunch around. Great quality fresh food and value for money too. Sit inside or out it’s always clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful staff. What more could you ask for. First visited here in August 21 and so pleased to see it’s still...

Great little place, lovely staff, great value, recommend the hog & egg bap and the Meaty B. If I lived here it would be my go to place!

Just eat here - can't go wrong! Highly recommend for light lunch snacks. Yum! Good sized portions and tasty ingredients, friendly staff too!

Been here many times and it never disappoints. It’s not surprising how popular it is with holiday makers and locals. Best breakfast in Padstow served by really friendly people.

During a weeks holiday at Padstow we used Bens Crib Box a couple of times for breakfast. Glad we did as it was superb, good options of Breakfast rolls on offer and I had The Meaty B Burrito which was packed full of basically a...

Was a lovely little cafe, we sat outside under the cover and this protected us from the seagulls as well as the drizzle when we were there! Lovely service, chatty ladies, took our order and didn't take long to arrive at all! Lovely food, would...

Cheeky Breakfast after boys fishing trip. Super friendly, Great Food, Great Prices We will be back 😀

We popped in here for a late breakfast. I must say it lived up to its reputation. Food was served quickly, it was hot and tasty. It wasn't too badly priced either. We had the B Box, it was lush! We'll definitely be going back,...

I found reference to Bens Crib online, wasn’t sure exactly what it was and so turned up for breakfast with two young grandsons this morning!! It looks like a simple takeaway window with a few garden chairs- my wife thought I had lost my senses-...

Really great breakfast. Simple food cooked really well and seasoned perfectly. Delicious with every bite! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

What a find, have been in the last three mornings for a breakfast Bap. Great food well priced,friendly and clean, just off now for the Hoggs Pudding and Egg combination.

My accommodation did not provide any breakfast and Ben's Crib Box was suggested as a place to eat. It did not disappoint (bacon and sausage bap was generously filled and much enjoyed plus good coffee) and the service was friendly. Perfect for anyone arriving or...

Gorgeous breakfast for the family, fab service and great quality food. Highly recommend the full English and the veggie breakfast. Can only eat meals inside it’s baps and coffee outside so bare that in mind as we had to wait a bit for a table...

Decided to visit, based on the excellent reviews, for breakfast on the last morning of our holiday. We were not disappointed with friendly and efficient staff and a hearty, fresh and perfectly cooked breakfast. Everyone should try it out.

Visited again for breakfast- probably for 7th or 8th time over the last couple of years. This place just does not disappoint!!! Totally tasty and hot full English breakfast. Ingredients are fresh and cooked perfectly. Everyone needs to visit this place. We’ll be back again...

Breakfast why we wait to go on our boat trip so glad we did excellent smooties tasty breakfast and superb hogs pudding a must try

I'm not surprised to see, despite all the other world famous restaurants in Padstow, that this lovely little hidden gem is the number 1 restaurant in Padstow on TripAdvisor! A family group of 6 of us (ages 4 to 75) visited for breakfast. The lady...

An absolute gem of a cafe with great food and fabulous service…..can’t fault it…..and you have to try the breakfast burrito!

Perhaps easy to miss at the edge of the main car park in Padstow, but you'd be missing a gem. Loved the Meaty B burrito.

Yum yum yum. The breakfast burritos were so delicious and we thoroughly recommend. Customer service was great, really friendly and welcoming. Considered taking a burrito for the road.... If only I had more space!

Great breakfast, great value, lovely staff, what more do you want ? Ben's was recomended to me by a local, always a good sign.

Can't believe I never knew about this great little café. Can't wait to go back and sample more delights from the menu. Great food, great service, great price - see you again soon!

Today we visited Ben’s Crib Box Cafe again whilst in Padstow for a holiday (3rd time this week- it really is that good!). When we arrived we were greeted by Ali, a lovely, cheerful, happy lady. Whose attention and service is second to none! The...

The breakfast was wrap was amazing and cheap for what price it can usually be. The only problem was that it was filling but apart from that it was amazing

Recommended by a waitress in a local restaurant. This is a great place for traditional British breakfast. The usual suspects - bacon & egg, butties, etc.

This place had been on the list of places to try having seen some of the reviews and it certainly did not disappoint !!! Delicious food and wonderful service with a smile. The Hogs Bap was a revelation !! Strongly recommend you pay Ben and...

This is probably the best cafe cooked breakfast that we have had the pleasure of eating! Fresh food, beautifully cooked & staff who are obviously happy to be there! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Whenever we are down here we have to visit Ben’s at least a couple of times as the food is amazing. Baps to breakfasts it’s all fab and I really recommend the breakfast burritos. Well worth a visit for sure

Having driven to Padstow for something to eat we were thankful Ben's was not only open but happy to make us breakfast baps late in their day. As always the service was great and the food incredible. Next time full breakfast before 12 :) thanks...

Great place. Breakfast was top notch, staff friendly and location right next to the harbour. Nice to see the locals also use it which gives a great bit of local character.

Honestly the most consistently good breakfast! And always pleasant service too! Thanks for making my day!

Out on a short daytrip when we happened upon this little gem. Fast and friendly service. We both had cheesy chips. Big portions with a very generous topping of grated cheese. The chips were crispy, with a fluffy centre - piping hot and delicious! Enjoyed...

Recently stayed it Padstow for a week-long break. I learned that there's a reason this is the number one rated food place on Trip Advisor in 'foodie' Padstow. I had a sausage and bacon bap each time I visited, to take away. And, each time,...

Extensive menu and quick service. The team were courteous and helpful. A great place for eats and a drink after exploring Padstow and prior to our return cycle to Wadebridge

Great food, great service - really friendly and helpful. I went here after reading all the reviews, I was looking for somewhere not too fancy (single mum with two teenage boys) and it was just perfect - great food but as everyone has already said,...

Totally understand why this has a 5* review. The food was a totally unpretentious masterclass in the great British brunch, and great value too!! The fry up was spot on and the use of local ingredients of the highest quality admiral. Skip the local Stein...

Fabulous waitress service and the best breakfast we’ve ever eaten!!! A must if you visit Padstow ⭐️ Try the hogs!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️

We discovered Ben’s on our last visit to Padstow and we won’t go anywhere else for breakfast now. We visited every day this week - our annual trip to Padstow isn’t the same without a Ben’s breakfast to start the day! The breakfasts are cooked...

This is situated next to the big car park near to the Harbour. What a great find. Service spot on, food perfect and you can take away if you want. Plus you can call in advance and Ben will have things ready for you. Breakfast...

Excellent Service, Excellent Food, definately worth a visit Friendly staff from the minute you walk through the door.

10/10! Perfect Full English and delicious BLT, friendly service and fantastic value for money. Lovely birthday brunch :)

Extraordinary. No snotty waitresses. No boil inna bag food at inflated prices. No massive wait for disappointing food. No pretensions at being something it’s not. Opens early. The foods fresh and delicious. What’s not to like.

The breakfast burritos are absolutely to die for! Warm welcome, tasty and freshly cooked food very welcome on a cold day. Reasonably priced as well

Delicious home cooked food and friendly staff! Must be a good sign when the locals seem to love it as much as the visitors do!

This morning we had a walk down to Ben,s and can say that the food and service was top class we been going Saturday morning for a take way to go home with,if we did not live so far away it would be on my...

Great breakfast , fantastic food freshly cooked,staff super friendly and helpful. Even allows dogs in, very accommodating Thank you
