Breakers in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely place for a coffee and a cake to take on to a beautiful beach. Had a really delicious flapjack here, would recommend

Great coffee and pasties .. right on the beach .. friendly team of staff . Always happy .. you can also get a ice cream which taste mmmmmn

Walked all the way down, open until 4...no food at 3:10! Popped next door to Verdant for excellent pizza, beer and coffee ☕️

This is a lovely place, very good service, nice atmosphere, good food and drink. Worth a visit, if your in the area.

Excellent small cafe, friendly, helpful staff, super coffee and smoothies and a perfect location. Would definitely recommend.

We stopped at Breakers for a rest whilst walking on the beach at St Agnes, there is parking halfway down the hill and it is very steep getting up and down the hill. This did cause me a few pain issues due to a hip injury hence our rest stop at Breakers. A very snug little place with friendly staff and dogs were welcomed. We ordered toasted teacakes that were huge and had plenty of butter to spread on them, my husband had a pot of tea and I had an orange hot chocolate, they did not have any cream for this on the day of our visit, however, I think it might have been too much with cream too as it had a delicious orange chocolate flavour and several chocolate orange segments served with it. Definitely worth the struggle up and down the hill.

Cute little cafe, lovely food and the best coffee we’ve ever had! It’s a shame there isn’t more seating as the view is great, especially if it’s raining. But the food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the coffee was amazing. A little gem. Also, love that it’s dog friendly! Makes life much easier for dog owners!

Best coffee in St Agnes, and probably in whole of Cornwall … my Dutch wife is very picky about her coffee, and she gave it a 5-star rating. The cakes are excellent too … we tried them all, different ones each day 😉

Well worth a visit to this hidden little cove and the added bonus of this pretty little cafe. We sat in the window and had a lovely coffee watching the world go by in the warm. The staff were really friendly and the Covid safety precautions well in place too.

What a lovely little cafe perfectly located steps from the beautiful Trevaunance Cove! We had take out cream tea and coffees that were absolutely delicious and a great location to enjoy! Friendly staff as well 😁

Very good COVID precautions, quick service and great Rowes steak pasty after a long headland walk, really hit the spot.

This is a gem of a cafe! Having spent time at the beach we stopped at the cafe as my little boy had a slight marine related injury. The cafe staff couldnt do enough to help, getting him some 1st aid and then a Freddo bar. I ordered food as he was getting sorted, it was cheap, delicious, plentiful and well presented for take out due to COVID. Couldn't fault them and when we return we will be in again.

came down to St Agnes from London for a summer break after working in the NHS during COVID. I have been so careful and wearing masks and gloves to make sure I protect the local people. I was so shocked when ordering an ice cream the staff did not have gloves on, wear masks, use sanitiser and kept touching thier faces. I worked so hard during COVID- The least they can do is protect thier customers. They even served a heavily pregnant woman with an ice cream - hands on the cone and no hygiene, hands all over thier face and utensils. Very worrying.https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g528877-d4066302-r759783722-Breakers_Beach_Cafe-St_Agnes_Truro_District_Cornwall_England.html#

Great compact cafe with fab views and icecreams. Good for a coffee and allows dogs which mine were very happy about

We really enjoyed this restaurant.The food is well prepared and great quality. Service was excellent .

This is really a takeaway rather than a cafe.....food served in takeaway box even when you eat in. Toasties were good but all very overpriced

We visited this cafe yesterday to purchase two ice creams. We had to wait a little while, which was fine, but once served the lady was quite surly and abrupt along with her colleague. No smile or welcome and we left feeling very disappointed. No real excuse for their attitude as not busy at this time of year.

The food we had tasted great and views of the cove are fantastic from the café. It's a shame there is not enough seating to sit and enjoy it all. It's a small place and mainly caters for beach goers so understandable. It just makes it a little too expensive for a takeaway or have to balance on the steep street bench.

Great coffee, great pastries & indoor seating if you fancy a sit down. Not overly expensive & well worth a visit.

Used this place for many years but it has had a makeover and no longer allows anyone in with wetsuits on, something of a problem when situated on a beach which is primarily for surfing! prices have gone up a lot and staff are not the most friendly which is a shame as it was always the place to go for a hot chocolate and some cheesy chips after being in the sea.

We stopped here a week ago for tea and a pasty after walking from Porthowan. My first attempt to ask for above was met with a lady abruptly telling me no pasties left and not much of anything else, so I left. The following day my partner went into order and managed to get two pasties and two teas, but again was served by the same woman who was very abrupt and said they were shutting up in 20 minutes, so we could NOT sit and enjoy our food inside! We then overheard her saying to a local in a loud voice how she could not wait until October when the tourist season was over! I think this woman would be better off in another profession entirely, as her unfriendly, unhelpful manner is not suited to a tourist cafe. Perhaps they should remember that the tourists are in fact the people who buy the food and drink, pay her salary and keep the cafe in business!!

We stopped at Breakers for a lunchtime snack after walking from Chapel Porth. We had pasties and coffee’s.The service was ok and food ready quickly. The pasties were good local pasties and very tasty. The coffee’s ok but nothing special.Located directly off from the beach, a great place to watch the beach and surfers.

Called in here for some lunch after doing the kayaking, the tuna melt toasties were very good and didn't take long to arrive either.

Had lovely cup of tea and sat looking over the bay. Excellent service, not very big but very nice if you just want an ice cream or something else.

What a wonderful little find. A small cafe next to the beach overlooking the bay. Served with good food and good hot drinks. Brilliant location for a walk along the beach or sit and relax.

We came in here for a drink & pasty after a walk along the beach. All reasonably priced, pasty was very nice and filling. View from here is amazing as you can see right out to sea. Staff seemed a little disinterested (3 girls) when ordering, felt like we had disturbed their conversation as they stood giggling the whole time

Walked from Chapel Porth and very glad to find somewhere to have a drink and eat. What a little find Breakers Beach Café is - really good food, vegetarian happily catered for and the most delicious traditional pasties too. Good coffee. Sat just inside out of the cold wind and looked straight down at the sea as the tide was in. Their cakes were pretty delicious too by the way!

A stunning little cafe just metres away from the beach, the coffee is good and they make great toasties, salads and chips. Local Kelly's ice cream and traditional, as well as veggie, pasties. They provide a variety of vegetarian/vegan choices and the staff are particularly welcoming!

stopped for coffee and cake , nice friendly staff . The coffee was excellent and the flap jack lovely . Really nice view sitting watching the people and dogs play in comfort . Recommend a stop although not much in the way of seating

Myself and a friend came in during the Easter holidays, around 15:50 looking to sit and have a cake and a coffee. We were served very quickly but also very abruptly told they were shutting at 4pm and will be closing the door and cleaning around us. We were told many times that the lady behind the counter that she was “very tired, and really wanted to go home” Understandably, working in a cafe for long hours is tiring as I work in a cafe myself, but this made me and my company feel rather uncomfortable. I feel closing at 4pm during busy times such Easter school holidays is madness and practically throwing trade away! The beach that day wasn’t particularly quiet! When we suggested going somewhere round the corner, she did not hesitate to tell us that they also closed at 4pm. If that is the case then I think all the businesses in that area need to seriously reconsider their opening and closing times during school holidays and tourist season!

Enjoyed a delicious veggie pasty here. It was butternut squash and feta and very tasty. 4 stars because the waitresses were VERY miserable and unfriendly and it doesn't cost much to give a smile and be polite!

We stopped at Breakers for a lunchtime snack after walking from Chapel Porth. We had pasties and a hummus and falafel toasties, with coffee’s.

Popped in for a coffee. Best latte I've had in a long time. There are some window seats overlooking the cove. Dogs allowed inside.

Popped in for ice creams, lovely little cafe. Good ice creams and very tasty to. Cafe is accessed by a flight of stone steps so just need to be careful with these.

Good food, Very Clean, Excellent service from a very small establishment. Top Marks to all the team . Doug (Milton Keynes)

The location of this excellent little café could not be more perfect. We had some really great coffees here to take down to the beach.

We enjoyed eating here after a long coastal walk. The seating is low-key benches - good view of the sea. Fair range of snacks and drinks. Can takeaway if sitting on beach. Friendly service.

Being a bit of a coffee snob, this place was a great fin and in actual fact there are a couple of decent places in Trevaunance Cove for coffee. The girls are lovely and super friendly.

Visited this cafe again and I am impressed by it's commitment to quality, simplicity and sustainability. The cafe is small but punches above its weight in terms of numbers it caters for. It's professionally run with great 'green' credentials, better than you will see for most cafes if this size and place! The coffee is great, the food is excellent and the service is brilliant. Try a flat white, halloumi burger and a mint chocolate chip waffle cone! Mmm mmm!

Lady in cafe has a very superior attitude and should not be in the hospitality trade! Should also learn how to make coffee properly! Not a very friendly place, will definitely go elsewhere next time

Small, but if you get a seat there is a brilliant view - if not you can eat on the beach. Food is basic but fine!

Just back from a wonderful family holiday staying St Agnes. Went down to the beach, went to get ice creams and drinks with the children when told no wetsuits in the cafe, 95% of the beach are in wetsuits the cafe is called BEACH cafe. Staff or whoever working in there so rude. Left without ice creams and will not ever use it again on our regular visits to St Agnes. Friends daughter verbally abused by staff as she was sitting on the bench outside waiting for us, was VERY rudely told to get off the bench. Ironically they have the gall to say dog friendly, just not customer friendly.

Stopped here midway through a lovely walk from St. Agnes to Peterville. The cove and cliff walk is really lovely, and was nice to have an ice cream place there, but a relatively small range, and not the best ice-cream.

It is hard to understand why some people go into the catering and service industry. The manageress at this establishment is one of the rudest people we have come across for a long time. Curt, unhelpful, unfriendly and rude. She may not care whether visitors who are on holiday return but with locals and at lower season times she may regret having such a poor attitude towards customers. It couldn’t be in greater contrast to the friendly attitude we experienced next door at Schooners where we had a wonderful meal with super service. Do not visit Breakers, it’s awful and sums up everything that is wrong with these sort of places in the UK.

Great views and great food. The toasties appear to be the quick food of choice. Well worth it. Can be a good shelter if the weather is not too great.

A nice spot to unwind after walking the coast path. Lovely tea and friendly indeed. Marvellous views of the sea

Great coffe, good vibes, and a view of the sea. What not to love? Apparently under new management and seems to be doing well! Recommend for sure

Always a warm welcome. The toasties and cheesey chips are ace and added bonus you can get a bottle of wine.

Nine of us were going to walk in the area and came in for a coffee. The place was tiny which meant we filled it! The service was good and so were the drinks, but not suitable for big groups!

Great coffee place excellent service good value for money as well as excellent views of the beach very dog friendly

Nice small cafe in this lovely cove. Decent coffee and a great Cornish pasty to take out!! Very friendly staff.

I stopped by Breakers to pick up a couple of coffees before a long walk over to Perranporth and what...

It's barely more than a counter with a few seats (no tables as such, just shelves) but they are managing...

The perfect beach side café selling drinks, snacks and ice creams. If you want something fancy to eat then go...

Lovely cafe right on the beach with outdoor tables overlooking the surf beach. We had a great generous and fresh...

Lovely little beach side cafe with really good ice cream served in their downstairs stand. The food isn't anywhere near...

We used the beach cafe about 5 days to buy hot drinks and lunch. The staff serving were working hard but the organisation seems to be wrong on some days. There is only one coffee machine so if ordering 3 hot drinks they aren't very hot when receiving. The food is handed over when it is ready so a typical lunch order would arrive in 4 batches over a period of 20 minutes when busy - first the hot and cold drinks and sandwiches, then the pasty, then the toasted sandwich and lastly the chips.

Nice selection of food on offer for a snack lunch. We had toasties and chips which was really nice. Only issue is that there's not a huge amount of seating if you want to sit inside but other than that we had a very pleasant experience and would return in future!

Wow, what a spot! Popped in for an impromptu drink. Great little place, friendly, helpful staff. Just a shame there isn't more room outside. Great place to watch the surfers on the beach below.

Woman with dark hair snotty and rude. They had nothing left from their extensive menu except cheesy chips. These were dry. Ran out of forks. Ran out of change. Serving people in the wrong order. Rubbish not cleared away. Generally im annoyed because i was talked to like dirt by the woman with dark hair, who seemed to think i was fussy for wanting a clean fork to eat my chips. Ive never left a bad review of anywhere before. Grr.

Superb coffee, amazing views, friendly, fantastic bacon sandwich. Staff brilliant. Access for the disabled tricky & down a steep slope, seating cramped, but well worth the effort. I'll be back!

What a shame this little beach cafe has been updated and now unwelcoming. At first sight, all shiny and new, offering good selection of food. If you are trying to have fun and are wearing a wetsuit, forget it! Get your food and bring it down, you are not welcome! Such a shame, if the manager thinks wet people are unwelcome, the ice cream hatch should be able to serve food too, where the patrons would not have to drip on the floor!

Lovely to be able to get a delicious vegetarian burger from a beach cafe. Good chips to share as well. All with a smashing view of a beautiful bay. Just right.

Stopped off for quite bite, lovely cafe, friendly staff, excellent food, homemade coleslaw and hummus fabulous!

A really cute cafe looking over St Agnes harbour and beach. It is cosy inside with a few small tables but perfect for a cup of coffee or light lunch. The coffee was great and we also had a spinach wrap and some ice cream. The service was good and the location is fabulous. Well worth a stop after you've been on the beach. There are nearby walks up the cliffs which are spectacular and well worth a visit.

Thanks so much to the guy and girl who served us quickly and politely on 30th June with a really delicious halloumi burger and lovely hot coffee. A difficult day for us as we had come to watch the sea and try and chill after news of a bereavement that morning. Their kindness meant a lot and on an unseasonably rain lashed beach the cafe was a great refuge.Will definitely return and plz keep these burgers on the menu! thanks

Called in during a walk along the South West coast path. A refreshing cup of tea was required with a cake. What was served did the trick.The cafe is small, so seating is at a premium. Was very hot inside (despite the outside temperature being about 17 degrees).

Perfection, sat over looking the beach with a delicious ice cream. Friendly, helpful staff. Could stay forever.

Trevaunance cove is really nice place to visit if you can find it, we were spending a week in Cornwall and came across it by chance.We went into the cafe and sat in the window seat overlooking the cove, we both had a tea and toastie which we both enjoyed, the young lady that served us was very friendly as was the manageress who took time to talk to us,we enjoyed it so much we decided to go back the next day where again even though it was the managers day off she was in there working but still found time to talk to us. we really enjoyed the cove and the cafe sometimes it's the small things that count to make your holidays more enjoyable.I suspect that we will never visit Cornwall again but if we ever did the cove would definitely be near the top of the list

We went here today to grab a bite and some coffees. I went to order a cheese and tomato toastie and when asked if I could add onion, one of the ladies rudely snapped they were busy and we couldn't order things off the menu. While we did understand that they were busy, the rudeness really made us feel unwelcome and as if we were an inconvenience. The food was okay, shame about the service.

Had a great tuna melt here and a great place to watch the waves rolling in on a sunny day. Ice cream looks good too.

As a devout foodie I can honestly say their cheese toasties are delicious! The coffee is lovely and very well made. The tea is perfect - I personally really appreciate having the tea bag left in my cup so I can control the strength.The cafe is lovely inside and out, has a relaxed atmosphere and a very friendly welcome is always received - their customer service is excellent!

Stopped off at Breakers for coffee and a bite to eat when walking dogs with friends. Really friendly staff - dogs allowed in as well which was great as it was a bit blowy that day and it was lovely to sit inside and watch the waves in the warm. Great coffee, great service and a lovely cake. I'll be in again for one of your lovely looking toasties soon.

Stopped in for lunch and great food and friendly staff, brilliant location and will definitely get lunch from there when I'm next in town...

I have visited this little cafe a few times now with my two little handfuls and have experienced nothing but a great time here with excellent family friendly service from their staff.The cafe is small but perfectly formed, with good atmosphere and view- tide in ur no, good weather ur no. Excellent selection of toasties, locally sourced pasties and awesome sausage rolls as both my kids will tell you. Good coffee and cakes too. I love my tea bag in by the way, because then I can decide how strongly brewed I have it, I thought that was good service?!

We had cream tea for one with extra scone and late with a muffin, we were serve tea with tea bag still floating in cup, two plates with scone cream etc and no muffin. Had to pay extra for muffin which was dry as were the scones, not a good experience, also Windows need a clean.

My boyfriend and I approached who we assumed is the cafe owner on Tuesday 2nd May to see if they were still open around 3pm and were begrudgingly told yes but they were about to close early. From the onset we felt we were an annoyance and I wish we had gone somewhere else. After we had paid over £7 for two dry scones and two cups of awful tea, we were informed that we were only allowed take away cups as they did not want anymore washing up and she did not want to incur extra staff costs.When I requested a fruit scone I was told the only fruit available was jam. My clotted cream was congealed and the milk was added to the tea before the teabags were removed and had had a chance to brew.It was airless inside and the windows need a clean. We may as well have sat in our car. What a terrible attitude and on a quiet day too! Far superior service and product at lizard point for the same price.

Great location right by the beach. Delicious bacon baps & great coffees. Friendly, helpful staff. dog-friendly too.

Lovely little cafe with a few seats. Do the usual tea/coffees and have a range of sandwiches (normal or toasted), sausage rolls and pasties i can recommend!

we stopped here for a hot drink very exspensive dont think i would go here again everything served in takeaway containers

We love Breakers for a morning coffee to take out onto the beach. One of our favourite spots in Cornwall.

When I visit a cafe and order a skinny latte (i.e. latte made with skimmed milk) and get asked "is semi skimmed OK" I get slightly grumpy. Semi skimmed latte is not a skinny latte - and where I come from the majority of people drink "skinny" coffees, so for a cafe not to have skimmed milk available is a huge missed opportunity as it simply means I will drink less of it! That said, the coffee we were served was good and the view from the window seat was absolutely amazing. When Schooners re-opens this place will need to up their game if they want to compete.

Great bar overlooking the beach, very friendly and welcoming. Serves coffee and ice cream for beach days

Saved from the wind and surf by the 'Open ' sign. Parsnip soup and pasties were excellent. Wide range of coffee's and great views over the sea.

We've been twice, absolutely lovey place, so many walks and places to see/visit, everyone so friendly and Schooners serves the freshest fish, will def be returning.

October half term at St Agnes we're on the beach at Trevaunence Cove and see the sign outside Breakers- beer on the beach, cider with surfers, larger with lifeguards the sign proclaimed- Great lets get in and get, a drink for the beach.Promised much but delivered little- cans of Tribute for £3.50, no cider, no larger, some small one glass bottles of wine.Stupidly bought cans of Tribute and a small white wine. Do you have any cups for the wine I asked- no replied the young girl serving, perhaps a coffee cup then, which was forthcoming.This place is right on the beach and could be, should be, a great little place, but no half hearted service and lousy stock control make it just the usual British Seaside rip-off.

It's certainly not a place I would visit again!!! The staff were absolutely rude and wouldn't help me when I asked and they messed up my order.

We visit here every year and can highly recommend the area. Breakers is a small cafe style option which improves year on year. My 8 year old son also used Breakers Surf school this year. There were varied reasonable group sizes (he even got a personal lesson on one day) and the teachers were amazing with the children (he loved Jaydeen), very friendly, smiley and loads of positive praise, high fives and thumbs up. He was standing by the end of the first lesson and able to come in on the board nearly every time by day five.A lovely relaxed booking system, lessons are two hours long and can be booked individually or in groups of 5 (with a discount) with friendly people, highly recommended.

Toasted Ham and cheese sandwich. Toasted cheese and tomato and chips. £9.00 we sat on the beach and ate lunch. Beautiful views. Have to say the sandwiches were really nice, they were presented in little boxes. We had paper napkins. And wooden forks.

We came in after the lunch rush so a lot of the food they served was sold out but managed to get the salt baked sole with chips and butter prawns. The prawns were just peeled one served cold and plopped on top which was a bit odd but in all honesty, the food was really good. Really tasty meal with huge portions with a beautiful view of the cliffs and sea to boot. Friendly staff also! Would recommend thus place to others

Good food, nothing fancy. Filled them up. Staff were great. Friendly. Great views. Good reasonable price bearing in mind you are looking over the beach and out to sea. We will return. Great portions for the kids. Kids aged between 8 and 16yrs old.

But Cornish pasties were good! £3 each so not too bad. Small area to sit inside the window but otherwise it's really a basic take-away.

Surprisingly good Latte and ham and cheese toastie for price and good view to the beach whilst drinking.

Visited today for a quick bite while taking in the sights. Bacon bap and a cheese and ham toastie. How can you get a toasted sandwich that wrong? Soggy bread (not toast), little ham and likewise cheese all served up in a cardboard box. Not good for such a prime location. Bacon bap would have been good if they hadn't run out of ketchup. Disappointing.

Matt's coffees are the best! You can grab a takeaway whether is a bacon buttie, burger, chips, a pastie or an ice cream. A couple of table inside with a stunning sea view. Brilliant beach cafe!

Bacon & sausage sandwich was the worst ever. Low grade deep fried value sausage, cheap bread & the slowest service possible. Should have walked out when told they don't turn the friers on until they get their 1st order in the morning but as with Lewsey Lous up the road, they've got a captive audience.A suggestion - rather than drifting along slowly closing at the end of the season, pick a date & give it 100% until then, and then close

With a prime position on Trevaunance Cove, Breakers Cafe should be fantastic. Instead, food is average at best, menu very limited (in contrast to Genki up the road), not particularly cheap (given what it is) and standards of cleanliness really poor. If the owner isn't in, the young, staff struggle to cope with busy periods and the standards of the cafe slip alarmingly - not their fault, they appear highly inexperienced and really shouldn't be left alone to run a cafe like this. I hope this review will be seen as constructive as we live part of the year in St Agnes and really want this place to be good. The menu should be so much better - the kitchen is a fair size and seems reasonably well equipped - the days of people being happy with non fresh/pre-prepared stuff are over, but if you get this place right - clean, efficient and with an interesting/varied menu, you could actually charge a little more and certainly business would build dramatically. If it were mine, I'd also consider longer opening hours - at least in season - and possibly open for more of the year. Trevaunance Cove always has a decent numbers of surfers even in winter and cornish coastal path walkers. With consistent opening, a small place like this can build a year round business.

Staff was very lovely, not overly priced. Food was delicious and so was the drinks.. Would recommend.
