Cliff Top Café in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

9 of us visited the cafe today, and each one of us have good things to say about the food and the service. Everything we tried tasted good, and Diane was amazing! Location of the cafe couldn't be any better - so picturesque! I would definitely recommend it and hope to visit again when we are in the region.

Omg myself and my partner just had a breakfast here for the second time recently 1st time lovely no problems second time today both had to rush straight to the Looe something not right with the food think it was possibly the bacon didnt eat most of mine due to the taste being tainted sorry but I am not one to complain but my partner is still having bad stomach cramps .

Great food, amazing views and lovely staff 😊

Really good pancakes, in fact every meal our party had was great

Best place in the UK for food , friendliness and stunning view

wonderful Food, excellent staff in a majestic setting

Always excellent. Super simple food and drinks. Highly recommended.

Great breakfast baguette. At £7, it was a bargain. Good pot of tea as well

That's how to feed the locals! Excellent full English baguette and a good portion of scrambled eggs on toast. Good value.

We visited on a Sunday and it’s an extremely popular place. Serving from 10am, locals get there before to bag the outdoor seats, so be aware you might have to sit indoors which is a little cramped once full. Lovely food, superb cup of tea and brilliant staff run off their feet! Recommend the breakfasts and it’s dog friendly as well. Placed neatly at the top of Whitsand Beach, this makes the ideal stop off to get a cuppa before a day on the sand.

What a gem of a place, just at the top of the many, many stairs down to the beach. The menu is small, but that seems reasonable given the setting.

Amazing food with stunning views out to the Bay.Friendly staff and a great Menu.

It was a wet, misty quite miserable day but inside The Clifftop Cafe it was sunshine all the way ! A well priced menu with plenty of choice, friendly and welcoming staff. Enjoyed every second of our visit.

An absolute gem of a cafe. 9 of us in total spent several hours here, my parents sat with tea while we surfed. Inventive menu - the loaded hash browns were incredible. Great vegan options - the cornish pasty was delicious. Still can't believe there were 4 vegan cake options in such a small space - we tried them all - you MUST get the mango passionfruit one if you stop here! The service was brilliant and staff are lovely - many thanks for accommodating us with our loud kids, wet clothes and various dietary needs!

Great food and great views over Whitsand Bay.

Lovely place staff very friendly relaxed atmosphere food is great views amazing .

Delicious food, great location, fast and super friendly service.

Like many we stopped in whilst on the SWCoast path. Had a great sausage sandwich (really filled!) Their menu is reasonably priced, quality is good. Staff friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy cafe with plenty of outside seating!

Proper coffee machine (!!!) and a good traditional English breakfast

Beautiful location let down by the food. Don't order the pasty, poor quality and microwaved, awful.

Great breakfast sat outside in the sun. Also good coffee ☕

It was OK. The breakfast was fine but didn't seem to have been made with any care.. The quality of the sausages was poor. The location and view were good though.

Love this place, good food with a breathtaking view. On a hot sunny day it is a must visit.

Lovely cafe with amazing food and great service. Excellent vegan and gluten free options

Our last visit was in 2011 and it was still every bit as good as we remembered. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

My recent visit to this café was an absolute delight from start to finish. As a hot chocolate aficionado, I'm always on the lookout for exceptional brews, and I must say, the hot chocolate here surpassed all my expectations. It was creamy, rich, and undoubtedly one of the best I've ever tasted. What truly sets this café apart is its commitment to catering to diverse dietary preferences. Being a vegetarian myself, I was thrilled to find a range of options available to suit my needs. And for my vegan friends, there were plenty of choices too, ensuring that everyone could indulge in their favorite treats. But what truly stole my heart was the welcoming atmosphere and the kindness of the staff and members of the café. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It felt like visiting old friends rather than just another café. The surroundings added to the charm of the experience. With picturesque nature all around, it felt like a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And to top it all off, the café is pet-friendly! Being able to enjoy my hot chocolate while watching furry friend made the experience even more special. In conclusion, my visit to this café was nothing short of magical. Delicious hot chocolate, welcoming staff, and a pet-friendly environment - what more could one ask for? I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone looking for a cozy haven to unwind and indulge in their favorite treats.

A lovely café with delicious food and in an amazing spot. We visited the cliff top café on what happened to be the first sunny morning in some time. The views were lovely and it was very cosy inside. I had been before but not for some time and it wasn't some where I necessarily think of but someone else recommended it and we were very glad they did. I remember I had been a few times the other year to grab a takeaway breakfast baguette, as I was working along the cliffs, and that was lovely. The baguettes were full of tasty breakfast fillings and in delicious soft buttery baguettes. So I was looking forward to visiting again. When we arrived and saw the menu we were very excited. We ordered the breakfast stack pancakes that came with three pancakes, maple syrup, bacon, eggs and a hashbrown. We also had a milkshake each. It was all really delicious. The pancakes were light and fluffy, the bacon and hashbrown done perfectly crispy. The eggs were lovely and runny and it was all brought together by the maple syrup. I would definitely recommend a visit here anytime and I suspect it may become a favourite spot. Followed by a walk along the beach of course or perhaps after being on the beach and working up an appetite walking back up the cliff.

Always good service and good food choice and the Best views.

Beautiful tucked out of the wind sun on your face great food friendly staff could not ask for more ! Thank you!

It's absolutely brilliant. Lovely food, great service, and really friendly staff. Great location and varied menu. Seriously worth a visit.

Very crowded, we waited half an hour for take away coffee and then it was wrong! It's in a lovely setting, but unless you're desperate, I wouldn't bother.

Great spot for breakfast / brunch / lunch with indoor and outdoor seating. Fabulous views over Whitsand Bay. Be aware of limited parking

Good coffee, good food, and great views of the bay!

Such a beautiful spot. Great staff lovely food. Highly recommend.

Incredible sweeping view over to Rame Head, no frills food, and impeccable service. A delight

Stopped here for a Mocha & a brownie with clotted cream while on a bike ride. Lovely place & will certainly be stopping here again....

What a lovely place. I'd driven past on the road a few times and never noticed it. However, work Brunch brought me here. Had the Christmas Brunch which was lovely and is a nice alternative to a fry up. Attentive and friendly staff made us feel welcome. Now I'm in the know I'll be returning to try out other dishes ☺️

Oasis on the SWCP. Good coffee. Girls were friendly and quick to serve customers. Well worth the stop 👍

Great cafe with incredible views. Open every day except Christmas!

Great spot near the top of the cliff above Whitsand bay. Interesting menu including good vegetarian and vegan choices. Enjoy good coffee while while looking out towards the Eddystone lighthouse. Access to the beach from here, lots of steps but worth it.

Seriously good carrot cake, and the coffee was great as well. Reasonably priced as well.

It has a beautiful view across the sea. What more could you want with a tasty meal. Worth a visit summer or winter.

Lovely location, great view and the food was great too. 👍

Wonderful café, breakfast and lunch spot with stunning views of Whitsand Bay. The raspberry and white chocolate flapjack was amazing!

Beautiful little cafe in the most magnificent place ( of my birth and childhood) Excellent staff; food; coffee; some local art work. A place for friendly banter fir locals and personal peace for me and friends

Excellent food, lovely staff and breathtaking views.

Nice scones and pot of tea, staff really good. Recommend for a stop off.

I love it here!! Wonderful food, service and vibe!!

The best location on the cliffs with fabulous views to enjoy while you’re waiting for your order. Tasty food, friendly staff & good service. Highly recommended.

Wow, what a wonderful cafe! Great food (breakfast and lunch), great service and great views with wonderful walks along the coastal path 😁 (also very allergen friendly - thank you!). Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Lovely place friendly staff good vegen options of real food!! Dog friendly with toilets Good prices as well..what s not to like.

Very good food and lovely views.extensive menu for the size of the place

Excellent, busy and scenically located cafe catering for vegans, vegaterians and omnivores such as I. Be prepared to wait as breakfast time is very busy.

Stopped here for a cream tea while out on a cycle ride. A lovely little place with nice polite staff. Will definitely stop here again...

Love it here. Good food, lots of allergy options, great breakfasts, have takeaways and fabulous staff.

Second visit and just as good as the first with a few new menu items since last time! Yum!

Quick visit for coffee, lovely spot to take in the view. Good coffee, helpful staff and dog friendly too.

Cant beat the views! Nice cafe, certainly worth a visit.

Always a welcome stop on the coastal path.

It's all about the location, location, location but the food isn't half bad either! Cracking brekfast from 10 o'clock in the morning and lunch is pretty good too!

Gluten free options. Bit pricey but it is the only option other than a holiday park bar for a few miles either side. Good food.

Delicious take out lunch & coffee. Friendly staff :-)

Lovely ladies, great cup of tea and scone.

We popped in expecting the usual seaside cafe food but were pleasantly surprised.The food was delicious, locally sourced, home cooked and reasonably priced. A lovely surprise and highly recommended

Wow, what an amazing and delightful cafe. I'm scared to write a review as part of the joy is how quiet and peaceful this place can be. Amazing views, delicious cafe food, great service and bucolic Cornwall Coast charm.

Great value, and a lovely view, perfect for a quick lunch stop

This place is really charming, the view alone is worth going for but the food and staff are great very friendly and the food was lovely.

Lovely view, nice food after a trek up from the beach.

We only popped in for a slice of cake , found the menu to be extremely good and the staff very friendly

Nice place for a cuppa on the coast path. Not spectacular but unspoilt..

A lovely place to eat out and enjoy the views. Plenty of choice for a small café, but be patient at busy times. I can recommend the breakfast and also the cream tea 😋 Someone ordered four pasties when we were there so maybe they're good too. Friendly and efficient staff.

Excellent Cafe, amazing food and friendly staff.

A hidden gem - favourite place to eat when back home in Cawsand. Perfect lunch / coffee stop and the friendliest staff!

Great place for a meal in a terrific location.

You couldn't expect more of a community cafe. The staff are very friendly and the other customers are always happy and positive. You can come in for a tea and spend hours talking to the person next to you exchanging stories of the island

Great breakfast and coffee with an amazing view. Cyclist friendly.

Handsome breakfast, friendly helpful people, looking forward to going back 😀

Superb breakfast at a decent price.

Beautiful place with welcoming people Love the breakfast Definitely coming back

Great place to start the day or as a treat.

First class service, very friendly staff, dog friendly, has the most amazing views of Whitsand Bay. Food is always cooked to order and is superb, fresh local ingredients. As this cafe is on the cliff, parking can be a little awkward. You can either walk down the path or down a tarmac access road to the chalets around that area (no parking spaces) ok for cycles or motor bikes. Love this place.

Good food, lovely location, friendly service

Good food, but it's mainly the atmosphere and location that makes this cafe, one of the best in the South West.

What a little hidden gem. Beautiful location and prices were reasonable considering its a little remote

Lovely breakfast in a beautiful, dramatic location. Service friendly and quick. The menu is flexible to meet requirements. Would highly recommend.

Great little cafe. Fantastic sea views. Unfortunately parking is not easy, even for motorcycles. Be prepared to walk to the cafe after you've found somewhere to park.

Very friendly owners. Simple and great tasting food. Nice views from the top

Great location stunning views, lovely food and drink 👍

Good friendly service.. Good choice of food as well.. Had the English Breakfast with fried bread. Tea and a glass of orange juice. Top café before the decent or the climb back..!

Staff welcoming, friendly & attentive. Breakfast 7/10. Could do with local produce, like Cornish eggs & sausages/bacon etc. needed actual Heinz sauces, rather than the local shops version. Great scones. The VERY worst coffee I have ever tasted ANYWHERE! Tried iced & hot. Shame as I would have been every morning. The actual coffee machine looks up to the job. Staff + Scones = 4 stars. Coffee = less than 1 star, undrinkable.

Amazing cafe with stunning views. The staff are super friendly and the menu has a great selection of yummy food. Most impressed that they cater for my son's allergies. Would hugely recommend 👌

Lovely place ,great breakfast beautiful setting, will definitely be back

Good coffee and a range of breakfast and lunch options. Cracking views of the coast.

Great food and welcoming friendly staff. Perfect place to eat and enjoy looking at the sea too.

Brilliant great value really friendly Felafel wrap outstanding.

Great coffee and choice of food in a beautiful location. Friendly staff and customers. Highly recommend.

Lovely spot to have lunch on the way to the beach, or back.

Great service, friendly staff and good view.

Good food, came out very quickly after ordering.

Great little cafe well located.
