We visited the Chapel Cafe this afternoon, such a shame as other members of staff are wonderful, apart from a terrible, rude man working there, who was extremely rude and obnoxious to myself and my family! The afternoon tea and cake was delicious, but totally ruined by an arrogant man with brown hair and a ponytail.

Came last year, it was outstanding. Didn’t know it had changed hands as new owners do not have access to the website. Nothing wrong at all with what we had, very nice, just disappointed at limited breakfast menu - only bacon, sausage or egg roll (or combo). Gift shop is gone too, which made the space a little soulless. Good luck to new owners as they were very nice. Posting current menu for reference.

Been visiting this establishment for years but very disappointed with today’s visit. The previously available breakfast menu has been replaced with breakfast baps, at £6.50 for 2 rashers of bacon and a roll (literally just that on the plate). The cafe is now bare and the staff/chef was openly rude to a customer in front of the cafe, accusing him of being a scammer. Sadly we found a total loss of atmosphere which had previously been warm and welcoming. Will not be visiting again. Apparently changed ownership a couple of months ago.

Not much choice on the menu. Overpriced (ridiculously) who offers a kids sandwich meal with 1 slice of bread with a bit of ham cut in 2 with a tiny bit of fruit on the side for £5? (And that’s without a drink!) I understand you support local businesses, buying in produce etc but come on, a full sandwich with 2 slices of bread wouldn’t break the bank!! Cakes are £5 a slice 😂 and a BLT sandwich is £9 🤦‍♀️ All in all it got us out of the rain and my flat white was passable, but £44 in Total for the small amount we had is extortionate! Will not return.

Visited yesterday for coffee and cake. Poor choice of very expensive cakes. Ended up just ordering two expensive coffees. Waited for over fifteen minutes, three tables who came in after us had been served with food and drink. Staff stood around asked one if she could check where our drinks were, no reply no apology. Drinks finally arrived again no apology. Will not be returning

Have been coming to Port Isaac for several years and always popped into the Chapel cafe. We were surprised to find out they have changed owners but were thrilled with the new menu, my partner is vegetarian and thoroughly enjoyed the Buddah bowl. Atmosphere is wonderful and the staff were fun and polite (even in the face of incredibly rude people).

We visited here a couple of years ago and returned on Thursday, on my birthday, after such an excellent memory of our previous visit. I Immediately wondered if the ownership had changed, of course I appreciate the cost of ingredients has risen but over £6 for a pastry I thought was high. People arriving after us were all served first, not helped by our table number being entered into the till incorrectly so our drinks were almost gone by the time our food arrived after it had been walked around the premises before it reached us. The staff appeared flustered and remarked 'we just need a quiet half an hour' which of course I sympathise with, if they needed a break. It was ok, over priced but distinctly average and so next time we will try somewhere else.

Lovely cafe and setting however service was shocking. We asked for an ham and cheese toastie and they said they can not make that and can only do an ham sandwich.

Must be the worst customer experience I have received in over 70 years. Having ordered drinks for my wife, son, daughter-in- law and 3 grand-daughters things went downhill from there! Four drinks were served first, after waiting another 5 mins we informed the waitress that we were still awaiting 3 further drinks. Eventually 2 more drinks arrived but my 7 year old grand- daughters hot chocolate still did not arrive. We again informed the waitress who looked at me as if this was to much trouble. When the hot chocolate did arrive it contained marshmallows, even though we had requested none due to my grand- daughters being Muslim, so not eating anything with pork. This went down like a lead balloon as the waitress was obviously put out from her reaction! My wife then spoke to the owner who instead of appologising blamed everybody else and was extremely rude and offensive to her. The owner urgently needs to enrol for a customer relations course or may end up losing his business.

Terrible! Under new management and not at all like it used to be. Manager bombastic and rude! Even the staff made comments about him and suggested it would be better if he remained in the kitchen. It was my 7 year old granddaughters birthday and she cried as we left after waiting ages for her drink (everyone else had EVENTUALLY been served). When I complained, the owner suggested I check out their great reviews online. I was later told they are not his reviews as he has only recently taken over the place! His reply to my review mentioned our waitress was from a country at war, with people dying. I would like to point out that the waitress resposible for serving us was actually local and spoke perfect English. In fact she clearly told us how difficult the owner was and this it was her first and possibly last day there. Manager needs to sort himself out and own and take responsibility for his behaviour.

5 of us popped in here on Sunday. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived, we weren't sure if we needed to wait to be seated or just sit down. Eventually we just sat down. I went to the counter to order to be told someone would come to take our order. After 20 mins of waiting & people coming in after us already having their orders taken we asked a passing member of staff if we could order. 25 mins after ordering our 2 cream teas arrived, we started to eat these but stopped as we wanted to enjoy them with our drinks. 10 minutes later the drinks finally arrived (35mins after ordering). The member of staff that brought the drinks didn't tell us which any of the drinks were so we didn't know which one was the decaff coffee. They forgot the Apple juice but we said we weren't waiting any longer for the drink. They also forgot our daughter's cake, which they did go back & get! We weren't the only ones that were confused about the being seated situation & alot of other customers were also getting frustrated about the waiting time. When we went to pay a member of staff that served us did apologise & say that it was her 1st day & she was just helping a friend out. It was quite expensive for not very good food & drinks or experience. From reading other reviews it seems that it has recently been taken over by new management. Hope they manage to get on top of customer service & speed in which people are served in time for the big summer rush.

Thought we'd stop for breakfast and asked to bring our bikes in as there wasn't anywhere to lock them outside. We were told yes and then the owner publicly started kicking off at his staff for the bikes being inside (not in anyone's way). If you're trying to build a business it's probably wise to be accommodating to your customers. Waiting staff lovely, food and coffee nice bit well over priced! Wouldn't return our recommend!

A true delight! We had an all around great experience starting with the lovely restaurants ambience, situated in a converted historic church with lovely artwork and a fabulous church organ... cozy, comfortable and interesting. Our Server, Lee, was super friendly he made us feel very comfortable, answered all of our questions, gave us some history on the building as well as the surrounding area and provided outstanding service. The quality, taste and presentation of the food was undeniably DELICIOUS! The complimentary olives and bread was a great start, the Asparagus with Hummus and Poached Egg was yummy. The true stars were the entrees.. The Chapel Bacon Cheeseburger was so chock full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Fresh Egg Tagliatelle was so rich in mushroom flavor with delicious light homemade pasta, a homerun for sure. The very BEST was the Smoked Haddock Chowder was positively amazing... the flavors were so on point, fresh prawns, fresh haddock with sweet peas, onions and the most delightful, flavorful, lightly creamy broth served with freshly baked bread so you could soak up every drop of this 10 out of 10 dish. If you have a chance to try this place ... DO IT, you won't be disappointed.

What a delightful place to stumble upon when in search of cream tea by the sea! The staff were stars; friendly and helpful, and the cream tea was of the highest quality (quali-tea! 🫖☕️). I would suggest spreading jam first, then cream, as these scones were still hot and the cream-first attempt melted somewhat 🫠. There is a lovely atmosphere and aesthetic to the space, and the exhibition above has art and history to peruse as you digest. Overall, I would highly recommend it! (When you go on, definitely try to spot the equipment with a personality - there was a pirate broom with a fine moustache and others too!)

Fantastic cafe in the beautiful village of Port Isaac. We visited several times in the week we were on holiday and really enjoyed the experience. The cafe has just recently re-opened and the entire team are doing a great job. The food is amazing and the service is really friendly and welcoming. It’s early days and there are plans to introduce breakfasts soon, we certainly had no complaints and it’s good to support local businesses at such a tough time economically. Please be patient and understanding as this is a great place, the food is superb and it’s a great asset to the community. Wishing you all great success for the future and hoping to visit again if we’re lucky enough to be in gorgeous Cornwall.

If you’re looking for: disorganisation, order mixups, comedy miscommunication - then this is the place for you! Not much choice in Port Isaac, so this place on the coastal path should clear up - but no! Sadly, they had no oat milk or decaf tea, the carrot cake was being made as we ordered but never appeared from kitchen, the toilet roll dispensers were out, the oat latte was made with cows milk and was just milk with beige colouring, we weren’t given any serviettes, our sandwich was given to a different table (who enjoyed it immensely!), and the chocolate brownie we ordered was forgotten completely. On the plus side, Thankfully the staff were so friendly and tried to fix everything. But clearly the cafe opened two weeks too early. Can’t help but feel sorry for the staff who did all they could. Given 4 stars for the attempts at service and the sandwich when it came was nice. We’ve haven’t stopped smiling since.

Visited Chapel Cafe last week. We’d visited just after they opened and loved how they’d utilised an old chapel and made a beautiful cafe and shopping. Sadly, they are closing down imminently. Staff are under the impression that a high end delicatessen may open in the building. I hope they still keep a cafe for snacks and lunches. It’s been a very popular stopping place for dog walkers and people like us who like to support the community when we’re holidaying locally.

Stopped here new years day after a coastal walk, expecting good food and warmth. Instead we got stung. Bacon sandwiches for £7.95...just about OK in Port Isaac if decent and well presented. Well they literally were bacon in a sandwich (no salad, crisps or anything like that). And my inspiration to leave a review was my sandwich seemingly being composed of fat trimmings rather than bacon rashers. To make it even more gross they were barely cooked! Raw fat sandwiches. Lovely! This place is closing their kitchen soon I think and then selling so probably don't care but hopefully will read and feel a little shame at least.

Stopped off in Port Issac for brunch and tried here after research told us it was dog friendly. Lovely place, friendly staff and reasonably priced excellent food - the Bon Bons are particularly good - good sized portions. Other entitled customers were a slight annoyance, there is no booking system but we waited for maybe 5 minutes before being seated. Others happily did the same while others ignored all signage and tried to take tables as they were vacated, ahead of those queuing, so maybe better, more visible signage is needed.

Encountered an unwelcoming host when entering the cafe more or less at its opening time. Door was open and i asked the woman behind the counter if she was open. She replied “not for another 5 minutes” Despite all tables and chairs being situated in front of me, she didn’t suggest that I could take a seat. I was therefore prompted to say “I’ll wait outside then” but that didn’t stir her customer service antennae into action. I didn’t go back. Why bother to open your door at all even at 8.55 if you can’t let someone sit down at a table? Keep it closed until 9 on the dot!! This place also carries a sign at the entrance on the lines that people entering should have a smile on their faces ( like the staff )or else they should go elsewhere. I think it came across as a host/owners with tourist chips on their shoulders! Best avoid

We had eggs Benedict and the avacado poached eggs dishes, both very nice and great coffee. It’s in an old chapel with many of the features still there which is nice.

Visited the cafe for our Cornish Cream Tea as we usually do. Never been disappointed in all the years we have visited. Made a new friend in Thomas.👍 Been meaning to try the Fish Finger sandwiches in all the times we have visited. Promised him i will partake on our next visit. Which wont be too long. Lisa & I love Port Isaac 🥰

We had a mediocre experience in the Chapel Cafe. We were told there would be a 15 minute wait for a table (which was fine because Port Isaac is small and there are limited options especially for those with food allergies.) After about 20 minutes, we were found and asked if we wanted to share a table of four with another two people (a ridiculous request and obviously we said no). After about 25 minutes, we finally got a table but we told we were too late for the breakfast which finished at 11:30am (even though we arrived around 11:15am), but we were too early to order lunch, which starts at 12 noon. It was about 11:45am when we got seated, and we were strictly told we could not order any food until 12 noon sharp. Had I known this when I initially asked for table, I probably wouldn’t have waited! When we did eventually order, I was quite shocked by the prices- paying over £10 for a jacket potato was a bit steep! The food was nice enough, but the ‘famous’ fish finger sandwich had an unholy amount of tartare sauce in it. All in all, not an amazing experience at the Chapel Cafe today. Nice place for a coffee and a slice of cake, but I sadly won’t be visiting again.

Lovely converted Wesleyan chapel in the heart of Port Issac. Fantastic sandwiches, cakes etc looked divine but didn’t partake. A lovely place to recharge after a few miles on the south west coastal path. Doubles as a gift shop so you get 2-4-1. Look up and around while your sat down 👍🏻

Called in and had a bacon sandwich, a fried egg sandwich, a coffee and a hot chocolate. Not cheap but very nice. Lovely staff. Amazing building.

The fish finger sandwich is a must, its the best we’ve ever tasted, followed by a cornish scone. Perfect lunch time treat.

If you are in Port Isaac and looking to add Cornish Cream Tea to your Cornwall experience, this is THE place to go! The scones are the perfect density (more on the homemade bicuit side) and dusted with powdered sugar, giving them an added sweetness that compliment the strawberry jam and clotted cream perfectly. The jam and cream are rich and filling, making the whole "tea" a nice mid-afternoon meal. My husband had the Tuna Mayo and Cucumber sandwich, which was delicious. The salad that came with it had an incredible honey and mustard dressing that added a nice savory flair to the meal. Stop in here for a meal and to shop their two floors of gifts for everyone back home. The Cafe is even dog friendly! A beautiful, comfortable space with fast service, make sure to stop in!
