Caraways Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a lovely little cafe. Although some might consider the menu to be a little basic, we found there was something for everyone! The toasties/wraps we ordered were very tasty and all arrived with wonderful side salads containing a variety of fruits too - not something you usually see. Great value for money with attentive and friendly service, we will definitely return when next in Cornwall!

We visited a couple of times and enjoyed lattes, hot chocolate, pecan pie with clotted cream, home-made quiche with salad, etc. All the food and drinks were excellent. All the food is locally sourced and home-made (except for baked beans). There is a very comfortable ambience, and excellent personal service. Can't wait to return for more.

Such fantastic quality homemade food, lovely welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and great service, affordable prices, cake is delicious, quiche is brilliant. A must go. 10/10

excellent for lunch when in wadebridge,helpfull,friendly staff .good range of food at good prices.comfortable inside or outside dining looking forward to our next visit.

Had a cooked breakfast and wife had the bacon bree and cranberry sauce sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Service was exceptional and very friendly. Price is reasonable for the area but worth every penny. Would call again without any doubt.

Yearly holiday re-visit. I love this place. If you are cycling from Bodmin to Padstow or vice a versa, this is a great place to stop at to refuel. Relaxed atmosphere, great food, great value and lovely staff. Still do not know the Canadian owner's name, but he is a wonderful host and can't do enough. We went twice this year and will be back!!!

excellent food and good friendly service .we come here most weeks from launceston and enjoy sitting in the lovely courtyard.

This spot has been a favourite of ours for years. It never fails to meet our expectations and the toasties, freshly cooked breakfast and gorgeous milkshakes are a hit everytime - thank you for being a local service that is 🤩

Ordered the lunch special of the day - ham quiche with salad. The quiche was not just burnt, it had been incinerated. When we remonstrated with the owner/manager(?), his response was " yes I knew it was burnt, but no one else has complained." No apology. There is a wide choice of eateries in Wadebridge, so suggest unless you love burnt food and unapologetic service, you seek out the competition to the Craraway Cafe.

Vegan menu limited to 2 things - Check menu before going. Can have oat milk with hot drinks. Non-vegan food is pricey and average. Staff are friendly and nice.

Good selection of homemade cakes and produce, perfect for light lunch or tea/coffee and cake. Options to sit inside or out depending on the weather.

friendly and low-key 50's americana (thats north continental). Quietly situated in a sort of ally/arcade off wadebridge centre.

Popped in for breakfast whilst visiting the area. Personable service, nice breakfast and coffee. A little chilly inside on a cold January morning, albeit not an easy place to heat up/keep warm in such temperatures.

Visited yesterday with my best friend for lunch, and I can say that it was really lovely. Such a relaxed feel and definitely an underrated place that does really fresh and yummy food! We both had sandwiches, which had lots of filling and they came with a side salad full of fruit, for only £6.95! Will definitely be coming here more often… if you’re in Wadebridge make sure to visit as it’s a gem with friendly staff too.

We went for lunch and find a very nice place for a quick bite to eat . The food was nice The Canadian gentleman who served was very good and accommodating . Thank you

Possibly served the worse club sandwich I have ever had and absolutely tasteless bagel and cream cheese. Male Staff not receptive to criticism bordering on being rude. Wouldn’t eat here again

Just popped in for a quick coffee and sandwich. Food was quickly and freshly prepared, and reasonably priced. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere ideal for a catch up over a coffee with friends or family.

Came in for breakfast. Sunny, so ate it on an outside table in this charming little cafe off an arcade. Scrambled eggs on granary toast plus a pot of tea which gave two cups. All good. Friendly, helpful, efficient male staff. Made a great start...

We only wanted a coffee and a piece of flapjack we got it and it was very good. On leaving I checked the menu and was surprised to find a few other good hot items. We continued our trip round Wadebridge- which is such a...

We visited Wadebridge for the first time and decided to treat ourselves to a cream tea in the September sunshine. We came upon this place in a quiet arcade of the main shopping area and there were tables outside in the sun. The service was...

Friendliest place for lunch in Wadebridge. Food is always spot on. Service is quick and the prices are very reasonable.

Great little find. Came across this little cafe during a cycle down the camel trail, we’d parked our bikes up and took a walk though town. Really lovely quiet arcade with a few shops and lovely outdoor seating. Food was delicious, the freshly made quiche...

Lovely place to visit, always end up having a cream tea with (in my opinion) the most yummiest scones. Lovely service too.

Came here once for a coffee and then the next day for breakfast with my partner. Food and drink: all of good standard and served efficiently. Absolutely no problems, would happily eat/drink there again. Staff: friendly and on the ball, always keen to make sure...

A hot day and the best iced coffee in town. A huge glass, great taste and really good value. Flapjack fab as always. Lovely outdoor space and friendly speedy service.

Had breakfast with two family members and food was good, excellent service and good value. The Canadian owner was very friendly.

Ideal spot for a break, catches the sun on both sides. The service was swift and friendly, coffee was spot on,and there's a good selection of picks. Will remember it for the next time we visit Wadebridge.

Had a couple of holidays in Cornwall this year, and on both occasions had a stop here for a coffee. Great friendly service and some lovely cakes too!

The cafeteria is located in such a lovely place. We were looking for something cozy and lovely and we found it. The food and scones were delicious. Thank you

Lovely food. The full english was freshly cooked, well presented and delicious. Not sure about other reviews, questioning the sandwiches. We had both the bacon and sausage sandwiches and they were full of meat. Waiter/Owner was pleasant, efficient and polite. Music was also a lovely...

Popped in after reading some of the reviews which all seemed very positive. Greeted by some lovely staff who were very attentive and catered for our dietary needs well. Big portions with local produce which was great. All in all a brilliant place for a light lunch and a buzzing atmosphere. Will be coming in again!

I ordered a sausage and bacon sandwich and was excited for my meal, but what I received was two pieces of bread with one tiny sausage in and one piece of bacon. Essentially it was half a sandwich as it was 50% bread. My family also ordered a cheese ploughman’s which consisted of half a baguette and a lump of cheese. Not impressed at all. Will not be returning. And the cakes are overpriced and dry.

We were recommended this cafe by a lovely lady in a charity shop who said Andrew made the most scrummy cakes. We were not disappointed. The upside down apple cake was truly the best apple cake I have ever tasted. We went back the next day to try a lunch there and both of us only had a jacket potato but it was delicious and not just a jacket potato but a super salad with fruit as well. Of course I had to have another piece of cake just to make sure it was as good as I thought. Heavenly. We live in Devon so it is a long way to go for a piece of cake but if you are in Wadebridge do try this lovely place with very attentive staff.

We visited Caraways on a rainy Monday morning and were greeted with a warm welcome. The breakfast was all locally produced and top quality, the coffee was rich and strong and the cake was amazing. The lemon drizzle cake was the best I have ever had and reasonable priced, we will definitely be going back.

Excellent cafe that is tucked away. Staff very attentive and very welcoming, all in a great atmosphere. Food is great and I can highly recommend the lemon drizzle cake - the best I've ever tried! If you're after a quiet traditional reasonably priced cafe then I can highly recommend this place!

It's a lovely little venue & the owners & staff are very nice. The homemade scones however, were stale and disintegrated; they tasted like were flavoured with cinnamon and were more like biscuits. Lovely coffee & milkshakes though.

Wonderful homemade carrot cake and excellent sandwiches. Good value and service, just what we needed on a wet lunchtime

Popped in here with my parents whilst waiting for some keys to be cut a few doors up. First time coming here after living here for 5 years. Gutted I hadn’t pooped in earlier. The young chap serving was obviously VERY busy but he still took time to say hello to everyone entering the cafe. Made polite but genuine conversation. I much prefer coming to an independent cafe rather than a chain and this is the reason why. We only had hot drinks but the freshly made cakes looks amazing. Will most certainly return here!

So when in Wadebridge we have always been to the same cafe but today the cafe had no seating so thought we would see what else there was. We stubbled across Carraways Cafe down the shopping arcade by the Air Ambulance Shop and browsed the menu. We went inside and sat down and were warmly greeted by the waitress who took out order. I ordered the Bacon Bree Cranberry Wholemeal Toastie and my guest had Bacon Jacket Potato. We also ordered pot of tea and strawberry milkshake. My guest asked the waiter for water and he asked if we wanted one each, he got it straight away.The music in the background was very relaxing and the cafe was in a peaceful area - not too close to the busy roads.The drinks came first and I was very impressed with the milkshake it tasted fresh and even had the little seeded bits you have on strawberries - not like the powdered milkshakes you can get that don’t taste like strawberries.The food arrived about 5 minutes after, my guests jacket had lots of bacon and a lovely salad on the side. My toastie came and was well filled.My guest loved the salad and said the bacon was delicious and thick. My toastie was fantastic and too came with a salad.The service and food were fabulous and been local I will definitely be going back again with guests.Well worth a visit .

We have visited this cafe on a couple of occasions and can say that it really is a pleasant place to visit for lunch. You get a warm welcome, drinks arrive quickly and the food is well prepared and tasty. Will visit again, well recommended.

It is a small cafe but it has a seating area outside which is a lovely sun trap in the summer, the staff are friendly and once they know you it feels like you are a friend, the food is great and it seems they cater for everyone’s needs ,I would recommend them.

The second you walk through the door your welcome is so polite and warm. Drinks were made instantly and there was nice friendly chat with the gent who works there. Have recommended to lots of people.

We'd never been to Wadebridge before. We happened on Caraways at lunchtime and were delighted. It's small, but comfortable and cosy. There is a warm atmosphere enhanced by the friendliness of the service and the jazz music + the obvious appreciation of the regulars. The menu was engaging too. All the regular lunch items were there but so was curried banana soup, chowder and other creative offerings. Great place.

Out of the many cafes in this lovely town this was the only one to cater fully for gluten free dietary needs. Excellent choices available and friendly service and atmosphere. Only downside was it was cash only.

We popped in her for a quick lunch while my son was down here on holiday. Wow the hot chocolate was amazing & we toastie sandwich we shared was fab. But the best bit was the Lemon Drizzle cake was absolutely outstanding the best I've had in Cornwall, and as I live here that's quite a few!! Serve was quick & cheerful. We sat outside which was very nice. Highly recommend this cafe for lunch or if u just want cake & hot chocy! was so yummy I forgot to take any pics!

Whenever I go to Wadebridge with my friends we always call in at Caraways as the food there is excellent and always served with a friendly smile. Brilliant toasties with a great side salad being enjoyed out in the sunshine. Please don't ever leave.

Excellent service, friendly staff, meticulously clean! I don’t always buy coffee when I am at a restaurant as, sometimes, it can be way too strong! This wasn’t a problem here, and the cakes are to die for, they’re also a good sized portion.

We had a jacket potato with a very generous portion of topping. I am unable to eat tomato, onion or pepper and ask for this not to be included with the side salad, the owner asked if I would like fruit instead. The presentation was lovely and the variety, including watermelon, quite exotic. How refreshing to be offered an alternative, shows real interest in the customer. The only criticism would be to provide additional shading, parasols etc as it was a baking hot day and only two tables were in the shade, fortunately we did manage to move to a cooler spot half way through the meal when a shaded spot became free.

A great find- We had coffee first thing and came back later for lunch. Staff were lovely & the service was super quick. We had toasties , jacket potatoes & breakfasts & all were enjoyed. My dad especially enjoyed the chilli which had quite a ‘kick’. Desserts were scrumptious too- upside down apple cake I can really recommend & my son loved his brownie. It was all such a great price too. Thank you.

Great place go coffee and cake or a light lunch. Good friendly service with seating indoors or outdoors if the weather is good.

Visited today at lunch time with family. It was a lovely sunny day so the outside seating area was busy but we managed to get a table. I chose a cream tea while my daughter chose a cheese and ham toastie. The toastie came with a well presented salad which even had some fruit on it which made my daughter smile. The cream tea came with one fruit and one plain scone so had to share with my husband, lashing of clotted cream and a lovely pot of tea. Reasonably priced, 1 coffee, 1 cream tea, a cheese and ham toastie and a strawberry milkshake less than £17, not bad I don't think

Popped in for lunch, service was prompt and friendly. Food was average , looked like it could have done with a bit of a scrub up. Pricey for a cafe lunch in a side street.

We stumbled across Caraways Cafe whilst on a day out in Wadebridge. It looks unassuming from the street and the menu is similar to many cafes you would find around England (sandwiches, bagels, jacket potatoes, soup, salad etc.). The difference here is the care taken over the quality and preparation of food. We ordered sandwiches and bagels, just expecting a quick snack, each came with a delicious, fresh side salad with cut pineapple, peach, watermelon and oranges (I think you can tell a lot about a place by the care they take over a side salad!). The portions were really generous, the food very tasty and the service friendly and swift. We were really impressed, the perfect place for a quick lunch.

We visited Wadebridge on a day out as we were on holiday in Port Isaac. This cafe is very clean with very friendly staff, also dog friendly. We sat outside in the sunshine which was very relaxing and ordered cream tea, which was home cooked and very delicious, also a nice pot of tea. Definitely would recommend it.

Have been going here for years, always go there for lunch. Always recommend to others. Service and good always delightful!

Gracie Fields on the jukebox Upside down cake with tea This little cafe is special So pop in yourself see

Managed to seat 10 of us (and two pushchairs) which in itself is fantastic. Very clean and the staff were great. There is a great selection on the menu, however a few things seemed a little pricey - almost £7 for a sandwich! The chocolate milkshake for the children was very watery and no-one in our group could actually stomach it but on the other hand the strawberry milkshake was delicious

Visited after cycling Camel Trail, ordered a variety of food/drinks. Good portions, lovely coffee and very friendly staff. Would recommend and definitely go again😀

We popped in for a late lunch. Large portions of toasted sandwich with salad, and ploughmans with massive lump of cheese. Also pleased that drinks included a soya milk option.

A very popular little cafe,with a good selection on the menu.

We pop into Caraways most Saturdays . lovely coffee lovely cake. Nice relaxing area outside in the summer. Quick friendly service and dog friendly. Nice snack food sandwiches ect. Can't fault it really.

Been here a few times and always had good service. Toasted tea cake and hot chocolate this time and cappuccino and scone. Both excellent. Cheerful little place. Clean loos, which always impress me.

Pleasant café with some outside seating. Have been several times and the food is always fresh and delicious.

Quick stop for coffee and cake. Perfect doesn't come close. This is true independent cafe operating to the highest standard. Truly exception on all counts.

We love this cafe. Absolutely superb coffee, and the scones are delicious. All the cakes are homemade and wonderful. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The only downside is we live far to far away for this to be our 'local'.

This is my second review of Caraways. Came in this time for some lunch with 2 others. Thick vegetable and cheese chowder, Brie bacon and cranberry toasties and tuna bagel melts. All top notch, served quickly by very helpful and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and an all round excellent experience. Highly recommended

We had lunch here on a Friday afternoon and ordered coffees, sandwiches, milkshakes and cake.

Love Carraways. Always a great welcome from Andrew and the team. Best coffee in town. Super food.Homemade cakes and soups are delicious

A really lovely cafe. Delicious home cooked food. Their cream teas were so good & very generous portions!! And I had one of the best toasted tea cakes I have ever had! Not a bad size inside but also has a massive out side seating area. Friendly and attentive staff/owners, interesting decor, nice music. I cannot fault this place. Excellent!

Great cafe. Lovely food and friendly staff. Toasties and Quiche very good. Cakes very nice. Reasonably priced too. Will come back again.

Excelente adecuada pasteles caseros, un café fuerte. . . . personal amable. También sirve comidas ligeras. Hermosa cafetería poco aislada (bueno, a 1 minutos de la calle alta) en Wadebridge. Bien vale la pena. Recomendado.

My kids and I had a wonderful lunch and the staff were amazing. The salad was fresh & full of leaves and fruit! The homemade cakes were just yummy!

We always pop in when visiting my father in Wadebridge - usually a good excuse for him to have lunch here!!! He had the curried banana soup - which I had to try - very weird but extremely tasty! I had my usual BLT - the bread is so fresh & the filling such good quality & as for the salad - I would never put fruit in my salad at home but I ate every bit! I wish I could comment on the cakes - they always look so delicious- but as usual I was too full.... There's always next time :)Amazing food with excellent service every time

Called in here during another holiday as I vaguely remembered having a lovely salad here. I had the jacket potato which was a proper baked jacket and the salad was amazing! Trying to remember everything that was in it: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, sweetcorn, a piece of carrot, pear, kiwi fruit, pineapple...extremely surprising and very delicious! The coffee was great too, not to mention the all day breakfast. Will definitely visit again. Very clean, pleasant staff, pleasant surroundings. Going back for the salad!

Best cafe in Wadebridge, clean, friendly, nice varied menu, piping hot coffee, reasonably priced and who can beat Al Jolson playing in the background, love it

Tucked away in the small shopping arcade is this small cafe on the corner. The service is excellent as is the food and drink. We had the Homemade Soup and it was delicious as was the Homemade Quiche the only small problem was the wrap was chewy so a better product needed.Will certainly go again when in the area.

We always make a point of visiting this cafe when we're staying in the area.The coffee's good, the service is friendly and the apple cake is still as excellent as ever.Can't recommend it highly enough, do call in, if only for a coffee....however, once you've seen the cakes.......!PS The music's good too!!

This is ideally situated in the town centre but with room for sitting at tables outside.There is a wide variety of tasty savoury dishes, and plenty of "healthy eating".There is a very friendly atmosphere and no sense of being hurried. We can't wait to go again.

Good range of light lunches, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. The cakes are delicious also. Staff very attentive and friendly.

Really great lunch, with interesting choices. Toasties served with salad and fruit, healthy and very tasty. Dean Martin music in background added to a great atmosphere. Just what we needed after cycling from Padstow.

The food and drinks here are superb quality and very reasonably priced. But it's the staff, service and music that set this place apart from the rest. They're so friendly (I know it's a cliche for Canucks!) and the jazz and big band is playing whenever we visit. It's our regular stop off at the end of our holiday, making the most of our last day in Cornwall. I couldn't recommend Caraways Cafe more.

Stopped off for refreshments. Friendly service and tasty cake. Sat outside in a quiet arcade so brilliant for my very nervous dog.

Had lunch here a few times, great jacket spuds healthy salads and a great pot of tea, great friendly service and not expensive.

We got to Caraways on a regular basis, we have never had a bad meal service is excellent I love their carrot and red lentil soup it's a full meal in its self, coffee is ground and made fresh everytime, it is spotlessly clean, the staff are caring but not over bearing it really is a wonderful place to eat. Well done to you all.

I love Caraways. Whether its for lunch or just coffe and cake, it's always a great experience. The food is great, especially the cakes which are all homemade by Andy, the owner. The staff are super friendly and it's a really, laid back, relaxing place to go. Five Star all the way!

We had a lovely cream tea here today. It was served with thin slices of fresh fruit as well as the jam and cream which made a refreshing change. Despite it being nearly the end of October we were able to sit outside in the sunshine. Excellent value as we had two huge freshly made scones.

Yes the cakes looked good. But I asked for flat white, the waiter acknowledged this as if he knew what it was. Only to grab used foamed milk, heat it up and dump it into at cup after dispensing coffee from a dirty machine. Not a clue how to make coffee for a cafe is worrying. Then expected me to take it. As you imagine I just walked out after questioning him to a blank face. Thee worst attempted coffee I've had/ seen in along time. Thank god there are many more places to drink in Wadebridge.

Great food and great service from a small team impeccably led by an enthusiastic Canadian who does the most amazing range

This is a lovely friendly place to have coffee , always call in when in Wadebridge . An added bonus is that their chose of music adds to the relaxed atmosphere .

Great place tucked away from the main street. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, homemade cakes, chowder to die for, great coffee.

My husband and I visited for breakfast a couple of days ago, we both had toasties. The food was great and it was great value. The two guys behind the counter were so friendly and polite and the place had a really nice vibe, with some jazz playing quietly in the background and some amazing stuff on the walls to look at.

Found this in a small side street. Excellent coffee and wide selection of cold drinks. Appetising sandwiches and homemade cakes. Owners very considerate and place is clearly a favourite with locals. Excellent value for money and would definitely go again.

We have visited a few times. Outstanding cake and soup and owner so friendly. A bit of a find in an unlikely looking shopping precinct.

I'm so happy I found this little place. Tucked away from the main street in a sunny courtyard, I was welcomed as I came in through the door. Many of the locals (greeted often by name) asked for coffee and chowder, so I thought I'd give it a go and wasn't disappointed. Great, fresh coffee and the vegetable and cheese chowder was a bowl of wholesome loveliness. I rarely easy alone but the welcoming, friendly atmosphere was delightful. There's also a subtle, American feel to the place but it's still very Cornish. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

This cafe is great. The homemade cakes are delicious especially the carrot cake. If your visiting wadebridge give this cafe a visit. You won't be disappointed

Lunchtime stop here, after cycling part of the camel trail from Padstow. Plenty of choice, friendly service and we even stayed for a dessert which was definitely worth it! I would recommend the lemon cake all day long, great little cafe!

Menu choice, and service very good, we visited on a couple of occasions and were very happy with the food and service, however on our second visit we decided to sit in doors, only complaint was the the choice and volume of the background music,

Super little Cafe in Wadebridge ....a step back in time .... Super service !! Super food !!Al Jolsan playing in the background ...what more could you want The best lemon drizzle cake I have tasted for a long time all cakes homemade fab!!!
