Cavendish Coffee House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We visited Cavendish Coffee shop in Xmas 21 with our son and his wife. Myself and wife returned today and it was just as good. The staff are very pleasant, helpful and appeared happy to be there The cakes and BLT we had were very good. If you are ever in Falmouth and want an independent cafe this is the place to go you won't be disappointed. Well done to all the staff

We were greeted by a girl who was working front of house. When we arrived at 4pm, they were just about to close, as they were quiet. However, they stopped open to serve us. The girl was excellent at her job, being very friendly and showing personal interest in her guests. We had a selection of coffee’s and iced coffee’s, as well as sampling a few of the cakes. I would not hesitate to recommend this coffee house. I saw a negative review about the prices and that Cafe Nero next door is cheaper. Whilst I occasionally use Cafe Nero, there is no comparison between the two. The quality of the food and drink, along with the very personal service we received was far superior. I almost forgot to mention our dog was made very welcome too.

Lovely fresh food, the cake is amazing and the service both efficient and friendly. We only wanted a light lunch and we weren’t disappointed. The food was well presented and good portions. Their cake selection is incredible. Great to go somewhere with a good atmosphere and happy, attentive service. We will be back xx

Staff were really helpful and were able to answer all my questions about the GF cakes. All GF cakes made on site but on different days to non GF products. Staff went above and beyond to reassure me that GF cake options were safe for me to eat as a coeliac. There were a total of 5 GF cakes to choose from and honestly I was overwhelmed by being able to pick from freshly baked cakes instead of a dry cake in a packet. This is an absolute must visit cafe for tea and cake. In addition, I didn't have any Gluten symptoms after eating here so I would definitely return back for a sweet treat.

Really great food and service! Plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians! My partner really liked the organic eggs!

The best flat white I’d had in ages. Really enjoyed it. Nice Biscotti to go with it too. That was a nice touch.

Popped in to see if any gluten-free cakes were available and was happy to see the entire top shelf with a selection of 4 delicious looking gluten-free sponge cakes. Great to have such a large choice considering it was gluten-free! I went for the lemon sponge cake to takeaway, and it was lovely and a decent size. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (10/10/22) assuring me they use different utensils for dietary requirements too.

A good "Pop in" sit down Cafe when your feet are dropping off!! Staff friendly helpful and nice simple decor ,clean and tidy We had cheese and ham sandwich plus cream tea a pot of tea for me whilst my wife enjoyed 2 x coffees all good. If we come down that way again we know where to go !! Advice was from a local which we took and was not disappointed.

Went in for coffee and toast or a tea cake. Coffee was £3.50 a cup and a toasted tea cake was £3! Walked out and went into Cafe Nero next door. We both had a large coffee and a pan au raisin for £9.60 which was excellent. Cavendish House will not be getting my business ever again.

Popped in here for a cream tea and to shelter from the rain. Staff were all smiley and friendly and the scones with the cream tea were fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend

Wow what a beautiful restaurant ! Literally the best tuna and cheese panini l hv ever had and l also got to taste my nieces avacado on toast with poached eggs - and it was absolutely delicious, the avacado was seasoned to perfection and the eggs were Devine ! Oh & least l forget the home made cakes - sooooooo delicious and beautifully decorated by the owner Ian’s daughter! I wld highly recommend visiting, not only is the food fresh and delicious but they also delivery a great service. Ian and team, thank u for ur hospitality and kindness. We will definitely be back soon ! Lilly 💫

Really nice coffee and cake with great service from staff - super friendly and helpful :) Would definitely go again

Cake was beautiful, lowennas coffee was amazing. Staff friendly and inviting and welcoming shop. With great music and awesome decal around the shop. Would highly recommend a visit.

Would have given 5 stars but we waited 40 minutes for mains to arrive after we had been given our drinks- some hot and desserts. We had to ask where our order was. Not even an apology or offer of Further drinks. And before any excuse of it was busy there were free tables . Food lovely though.

Popped in for coffee and stayed for a big breakfast - excellent coffee and very tasty food. The staff were so lovely and cheerful - we came back the next day to try the salmon and eggs breakfast! Would recommend to anyone looking for a chilled out welcoming spot.

Needed somewhere to shelter from the rain and this was a welcome stop. They do decaf and a huge array of cakes, so many to choose from and very large pieces.

cosy cafe with super friendly staff as always. The cake is always a must, with their many options - the banoffee is the best!

We visited here today, after trawling the town for a quaint cofe, we then spotted this one which appeared to be the only one which fitted the bill. It’s quaint, spacious and the staff are very friendly and helpful, even though they were rushed off...

Just had an Cornish Tea and coffee. The atmosphere in this place is bizarre. 80s decor combined with b/w photos on wall of rock/folk legends, but pasted over with random stickers? Looked like they'd just gotten some sticker books and ruined what could've been passable...

The staff at cavendish are always so bubbly and approachable. The cakes are amazing and everything is fairly priced. The interior is so inviting. It’s no wonder that it’s a local spot for many

A cafe with great character, good food, lovely cakes, well made tasty coffee, and smashing people too! What more could you need.

JUST the size of the cakes in the window was enough to attract anyone's attention. Cavendish is an ideal place for morning coffee and we sat outside to enjoy our cups and some of their delicious-looking Calypso cake. Staff were very friendly and I asked...

I'm a local at cavensish. The superb coffee and wonderful staff keep me coming back every day I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a coffee/food and a chat

Service excellent and friendly but egg shell in the cake, and not just a small piece but loads in two different cakes that we had. Cake looked good but heavy, tasteless and of course crunchy with shell ☹️ I made mention to it and they...

Coffee was nice, staff were lovely, particularly the guy with the green and black jumper who offered great service and a captivating smile :) thank you!

Amazing Cakes and Amazing Service! The BEST Bakewell cake I have ever had - served warm with clotted cream 😋 Looking forward returning for breakfast or lunch or both! Thank you for your hospitality

We stopped here for a coffee break after being tempted in by the cakes on display. The service was really good, the cake delightful and my hot chocolate drink very good.

Popped into this coffee shop twice, once for a coffee and second time for the cake. The staff were so friendly even though they were completely rushed off their feet. The coffee and cake were incredible, would definitely recommend a visit.

The scones, owner and tea were superb. The service was really nice and they were abiding by covid restrictions too. The place is homey, unique and gave a nice atmosphere for my group of friends.

Popped in to grab a drink and a bite to eat on a rainy lunchtime. The menu looked interesting and we both decided to have a panini. I’m not sure what took so long, but we were sat waiting for a good 30 minutes before...

The best coffee in the whole of Cornwall served by the loveliest people in the whole wide world, you haven’t lived until you’ve visited cavendish coffee house!!!!☕️☕️

I walked in and immediately felt a warm welcome, lovely service couldn’t have been more happy with my drink, would highly recommend.

When I went to the Cavendish coffee house, it was amazing, just amazing. Everything comes on time, staff are friendly, The atmosphere is just lovely and the treats are a lovely treat too. Definitely recommend it !!

My girlfriend and I had lunch here when visiting Falmouth for the day and it was lovely. Great friendly staff, good food and a lovely place to visit. Highly recommended

Popped in for an early lunch with the kids. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, catering to our fussy order. Food was delicious, and cake exceptional. This is daughter's favourite cafe in Falmouth.

I had the best vegan carrot cake in my 22 years of living. The bees and yellow flower decor made the time feel like a cute little summers day. The staff were super friendly and bubbly. 10/10 would recommend

Such friendly staff and amazing cakes. Well worth a visit when you are in Falmouth. Lovely to sit outside with the dog. Covid safe.

This is my favourite coffee shop in Falmouth. The staff are all really friendly. The cake selection and coffee is great. Loving the new smoothie menu for the upcoming summer. I will always come back here.

Great coffee, tasty cakes and the staff are super lovely. Definitely worth checking out when in Falmouth!

This is such a charming place to stop and get coffee and cake. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious! Will definitely recommend the Cavendish to all my friends.

Came to Falmouth for the day & didn't think this would be open as no outside space, so I was delighted to see a couple of tables out the front so I could get some delicious home made cake. Staff member talked us through the...

The guy that works there friendly and helpful. He talked us through what we wanted and made sure we got what we needed for the best price

Found this gem of a cafe and I am so glad I did fantastic service and excellent food highly recommend a Visit!

Two days into lockdown and am already missing my favourite coffee shop! Can’t wait for you guys to reopen!

When I first came here as a student I was worried I wasn't going to find any nice coffee places in this little seaside town. However, the first day I was here I found Cavendish. I can honestly say the reason I keep coming back here is because the staff are friendly and always smiling, the coffee is beautofully made with love and care and the food is absolutely excellent. The staff will always make the effort to have a nice chat to you.This has become a regular spot for me and I recommend it to tourists and locals alike. The staff care about everything even the small details. They remember drinks orders and the nicest places to sit and they accomodate everybody to a very high standard. I am amazed by this place because you can come here casually, to work or even read. It is simply the best place in Falmouth to sit down in the warm for a drink.The oatmilk flat whites are absolutely stunning and always warm me up in the cold ajd rainy days in Cornwall, another aspect of the place I like is the care that Cavendish puts into their cakes. Aesthetically amazing and taste wise they are "bang on" as we say in Wales.I will always come back to this place as it offers a home away from home and I have found my favourite coffee place here.

Excellent coffee and excellent food with great veg/vegan options. I was blown away by how friendly the atmosphere was. I felt at home even though it's the first time I've visited! I know that this may seem a bold statement, but this is the kind...

A really wonderful cafe!! Such friendly approachable staff and immediately felt welcomed, their hot chocolate was so so good as well as their caramel banana cakes! Amazing decorations/photos on the wall too! ☺️☺️ definitely visiting again!!

I really enjoyed my first experience at Cavendish, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming and the staff were very friendly and the cakes were delicious!!☺️ definitely coming back

Friendly staff, good vibes, great food and drinks and amazing service. Will defenatly come again. 100/10

We really enjoyed our visit to the Cavendish Coffee House. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. We only popped in for coffee and cake, but were impressed with the selection of cakes and the prices. Definitely recommended.

Visited cavendish coffee house full English breakfast excellent also Cakes will visit again, especially loved the atmosphere

My sister and I were born and bred in Falmouth and Cavendish was always "the nice place" to go. We no longer live here but are sorting our father's estate after he passed away a short time ago.We decided to treat ourselves to lunch and visit Cavendish. After a short(ish) wait, our order was taken (2 all day breakfasts and coffee. We asked if our eggs could be poached and were informed that the "chef wasn't sure if poached eggs were possible but they would try".Considering the price tag of £9.25, we expected a nice brunch and, like many others places, cardboard cups and plates along with disposable cutlery arrived. The cutlery was quite unsuitable for the task!! However, the single rasher of bacon, one sausage, one egg,one hash brown (I asked for two!) , a spoon of beans and a piece of toast seems a complete rip off for the price being charged. I am sure plenty of tourists, students and a certain demographic are happy to pay these extortionate prices but, like so many things in town, the locals won't. So disappointed!!!

We always like to try the local cafes rather than the chains, and this was one of the nicest we've been in. The staff were friendly and helpful and yes, the cups were cardboard and the cake came in a paper box but that was understandable given the circumstances...Coffee was excellent and the cakes were delicious - coffee and walnut for me, lemon and rocky road for the others. Huge slices too, Best of all, the music was great, all the sort of tracks we've enjoyed over the years!

We Popped in for a cream tea the scones jam and cream were served in a cardboard box no plates or cutlery just 2 useless wooden spoons the tea was served in cardboard cups also I don’t think COVID could be used as an excuse here as we had been to others cafes and they were able to serve cream teas normally with no bother, won’t be going back here !

I visited the cafe a few days ago, and was greeted by friendly staff, taking the right COVID precautions!We both had lovely coffees and a vegan home made slice and it was delicious! Will definitely be visiting again when in the area.Also, great music! Who is the DJ?

1st trip out after lockdown. Excellent covid precautions in place. Delicious milkshake, fab atmosphere. A favourite place to visit in Falmouth.

I have been a customer at Cavendish for years, it is my family’s ‘go to’ for a coffee break while shopping. I love love love their milkshakes, hot chocs and cakes, they also do a lovely breakfast and yummy scones! It was also the first Cafe I went to after lockdown and after shielding I was a bit nervous, but I was not disappointed. Cakes were as yummy as ever, it all felt very ‘Covid secure’ but maintained its comfy, local, welcoming charm. It is a must visit in Falmouth. ❤️

Went back to the Cavendish for lunch. Covid precautions made us feel safe and the friendly staff made us feel welcome. Food was good and reasonably priced, well worth a visit

We stopped here for brunch and then for cake and coffee later on in the day (yes it’s that good). For brunch we had a selection of paninis and the avocado smash and later on we had a selection of delicious cakes! The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend paying a visit here if you’re in Falmouth!

Dropped by for a quick coffee - good service and a good drink so ticked all the boxes we were looking for

Stopped off here while strolling through Falmouth on a cold wet day. Most places seemed busy and indeed the guy on the door first announced no tables but then someone got up to leave so OK.To his credit, he did say that he must sanitise the table before we sat down which he did. We then got menus and then sat there, and sat there, and.......all the time directly in line with the wide open doors so absolutely freezing !. Other people came, got seated and ordered, while we sat and......Eventually we managed to order drinks which arrived a few minutes later and whilst my canned drink was expected to be cold, the Wife’s latte wasn’t supposed to be but was. How can you get that wrong ?.Not impressed, staff seemed more pre-occupied with meeting regulations than giving good service.

Friendly staff and that is where it ends. Tuna sandwich was dry and unappealing, my daughter had a Veggie breakfast that appeared to be straight out of Iceland’s frozen section. Light lunch for 3 with no drinks came to £26. Felt very expensive and not worth a visit.

We spent the day in Falmouth and recognised the cafe, as we had visited two years ago. As usual, the service was perfect, the cakes were amazing and the tea was wonderful. Friendly staff and clean venue. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

We stopped off in Falmouth and first time here. Friendly and helpful staff and place is organised well to be covid friendly. Both had tuna mayo sandwiches and they arrived in a disposable cardboard box with nice side salad together with wooden cutlery. Sandwiches were tasty and well filled and there was a choice of white or brown bread. Didn’t sample but the cakes looked very nice. Overall very good experience and would recommend

What stood out from our visit today was the service. We came with two small children during the rain, the staff were friendly & attentive all times. They helped provide baby chair facilities and also made us aware of promotional offers on regarding the food discounts at this time. Really welcoming. One of the group usually likes Costa as her preferred cafe of choice, but she also was impressed by the quality of food & nice environment. Thank you!

Stopped in on a hunt for a cream tea the other day- timed it perfectly as scones were fresh from the oven! Staff were lovely and friendly despite looking rushed off their feet! Would definitely visit again if we come back down

Had a lovely afternoon tea at the Cavendish today ... Felt really safe, thought the previous review about the back to back chairs was really odd .. worked really well ... see you soon

We visited Falmouth and found the Cavendish. Cakes and coffee! Love this place !. Make sure you visit next time in Falmouth .

Lovely little cafe. Have never been disappointed when visiting. The food has always been tasty, well portioned and reasonably priced. The service is always done with a smile and is quick and efficient considering it can get quite busy. We have not managed to visit since the pandemic but we will be returning as soon as we can.

Efforts made to lower covid risks by serving all food out of a box with wooden cutlery. No issue for me (in fact, I’d rather single use) but trickier for partner with a full English - perhaps biodegradable plates would be a more suitable option for dine in customers. Really surprised that such efforts were made in these respects yet our table wasn’t sanitised or even wiped after its previous occupants. Also extremely surprised to see that outdoor tables and chairs were literally back to back when there’s a one metre ruling? It feels a little like trying too hard with things like paper boxes whilst missing the real basics / imperatives in providing a clean and safe environment. Food itself was ok.. cooked nicely and tasty.
