Constantine Beach Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Maybe the best cortado I’ve had yesterday morning 🤤 and I’ve just been living in Spain (el casa de cortados) for 7 years.

This was a stop on a windy, wet walk and needed some refreshments. I wanted a hot chocolate and the males of the group wanted some liquid refreshments. We asked for 2 beers and were then told that we needed to buy hot food before they could be served. This is highly unusual unless it is part of their licence. My hot chocolate was more milk than chocolate. My husband asked if there was any cold beers, as the ones they had been served were room temperature. Who knows a man who enjoys his beer warm? I don’t!!! However the fridges were full of coke, water and soft drinks but no beer. We obviously could not then return the food or warm beers for a refund. Also the price of our order for 2x hot chocolate’s, 2x beers and 2x sausage rolls was £25.00 for warm beers! Wake up and smell the bad hot chocolate.

We visited this shop whilst walking across the beaches. It's a great little shop, local business with friendly staff all serving excellent tea, coffee, ice-cream and treats. Their coffee cups are recyclable and compostable - doing a little bit to make a big difference to our environment. What's more, there's a well maintained toilet next door with an honesty box to help with the upkeep of the toilet

We spent £32 pound on 3 coffees that where the size of a flat white and 3 panini’s, me and my mother had bacon and brie which was a ciabatta with a slice of brie and 2 small pieces of bacon which where under cooked and tasteless. My sister is allergic to dairy so she asked for any vegan options so the made her a plain tomato panini and changed the same price. All round disappointed

Lovely location and they serve up a good hot chocolate

I reckon the best Coffee I've ever had

Great place for coffee,paninis and cakes really tasty-Even better after long windy walks! Staff are/were fab,kind and friendly…Thank you.

Fantastiskt kafé med goda paninis, gott kaffe, latte cappuccino och hela kalaset, allt med havremjölk eller vad man nu vill ha. Till det kan man få en god öl. Finns också glass för den som önskar. Allt med trevlig service!

Rude servers, stale cake. Avoid if you have children as they don't like kids. Much better places around !

Had a take away toasted sandwich which I eat on the beach. Nice selection guy serving was very friendly they have seats to eat there and the toilet is there as well. It’s a 2 minute to the beach

Had a fabulous cheese and ham panini here, my friend had Brie, bacon and cranberry, nice and hot and very tasty. We also had the best mocha and cappuccino that we have had in the whole of the UK 🇬🇧 (apart from the ones I make at home!) Lovely spot just near the beach and a nice friendly welcome - would definitely go back.

Great service, seating with parasols, toilets and water for the dog. We had delicious paninis and smoothies to fuel us during our coastal walk. Highly recommend a stop here as lots of variety available for lunch or simply a coffee.

We love this place. They do a great flat white and our children love the hot chocolate with cream and toasted marshmallows. There is a good choice of ice cream flavours in individual tubs. There is warm food too including pasties from Malcolm Barnecutt. The manager, Martin, is super friendly and accommodating. We will be sure to return when we are next in Cornwall.

Great service, friendly staff, great food and drinks. Came here almost every day and it's always great. Highly recommended.

Walked the family miles around the beautiful coastline with promise of refreshments here… arrived at 3pm on Thursday of half term to be advised she’d cashed up and we couldn’t buy any drinks even though advertised open until 5pm. Unimpressed.

Lovely spot to wave watch and a lovely beach. The cafe appears unassuming but we had the nicest coffee here of our trip. The young lady was really cheerful and accomodating. Unassuming.

Parking cost £5 all day and we spent most the morning afternoon there swimming and renting out the paddle board! Had a really nice time here at this beach wished we took the body boards with us and it would of been so amazing! Did some rock pooling and found some fish and baby shrimps and lobsters but put them back at the end of the day.

Great place to stop off for a coffee and a bite to eat during a morning g beach walk. Staffed by really friendly happy people that greet you with a smile and the coffee and food from here is great.

Fantastic beach to walk your dogs

What a great little cafe. Very small, only a few outside picnic benches. They have a restaurant license, so can only sell alcohol with food to be consumed on the premises, but you can't go wrong with a pasty and a pint for £8. Good Barnacott pasties and a range of paninis. Some nice farm ice cream pots and decent coffee. Very friendly.

Great coffee, cakes and pasties!

Went to Cornwall for 5 days and had the best coffee of our trip here!! Lovely pastries and friendly service. Gave our dog a treat which was lovely!!

I had a lovely pasty and coffee from Constantine Beach cafe that warmed me up after a swim in the sea! The reason I have not given it 5 stars is not due to the food but the lack of recycling. It was awful to see cans, glass bottles and cardboard that could be recycled being thrown in with the general waste. Recycling needs to be a top priority for any establishment. Having dealt with councils and recycling bin collection before I understand there can be some challenges but the the environmental benefit hugely outweighs this. Please will the owners of Constantine Beach Cafe install recycling as soon as possible before the summer season hits?

Great sausage rolls and hot chocolate. Clean toilets. Free WiFi to pay for parking. Small car park. Lovely beach

Really nice coffee, great crew members, good weather lace for snacks and what an amazing beach to visit!

Surprisingly good flat white coffee in a takeaway cup .. the menu option of Prosecco and pastie made me smile.. whatever next!

A great little caffe in a beautiful location well worth a visit

Unfortunately the cafe wasn't open, but Constantine Bay is absolutely beautiful

Lovely and quiet today, great little cafe as well

Great little cafe with good range of refreshments and food. Only couple minutes up from the beach. Believe it is closing today for end season so check opening times before banking on it for food. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

We had miss timed our food and arrived in the afternoon on a lovely day in October half term. It’s a small car park but we lucked out as a car left. The guy serving was friendly with a great sense of humour as we ordered the last few roasted vegetable paninis. These were excellent, as were the coffees.

Called in by chance and so pleased we did as the cafe was perfectly located by parking and the beach, loos behind, excellent food and superb drinks to take away as well.

Fantastic fresh coffee and delicious Barnecutt pasties. Ewan who was serving was friendly and fun and made us feel welcome - his singing wasn't bad either !!

Wonderful to have this facility and needs support to keep going great pasties and a beer by the beach also does prosecco. We really enjoyed our week there although it was off season. The staff are friendly and the toilets are kept spruce used by all beach goers but the charge is voluntary so no need to worry about being out of change. The beach is perfect rock pools surf sand and lifeguards. On of our favourite places.

The cakes available where being physically handled by the staff without hand sanitiser between customers, so we didn't get the brownies we initially wanted, and when I asked whether the cheese and onion pasty had sweetcorn in, they were really rude. Ended up just getting a couple of cans of coke, at which point the guy just silently pointed at the card reader, then turned his back on us, didn't say another word, even after I said thanks, just slammed down our drinks and completely dismissed us. I worked in the Cornish tourism industry, I know it's frustrating, especially in the holidays, and I never leave bad reviews, but I was genuinely shocked at how rude and incompetent the staff are.

We stumbled on the cafe after a long beach walk. Staff incredibly friendly. Excellent coffee and my wife had he deluxe hot chocolate which lived up to its name. Reasonably priced

Spent the day on the beach With a friend, we stumbled across this cafe on our way back. We were covered in sand & the kind guy working at the cafe was so kind he offered the use of his hose so we could wash ourselves and our wet suits off. We couldn’t buy anything because it had just closed, so it was such a lovely gesture for him to offer the service. He said all visitors to the beach can use his hose to wash off. We will definitely return Thank you

Caught it after schools returned so short queues. Stunning location on a lovely day.

Really lovely find, not immediately obvious as it's tucked away down a little path behind the ice cream van. We were very lucky the ice cream van had temporarily closed as it forced us in search of somewhere else! The pasties are absolutely delicious and a fantastic accompaniment to a pint of Cornish ale - great combo deal, will definitely keep this on the short list!

Was served by the friendliest and most helpful staff. Started with a coffee and then went back for lunch. In the most perfect spot to enjoy the beach and a yummy panini

Constantine Beach Café Is one of the most amazing cafe that I have been to the pasty's there Excellent, the tea and coffee are very nice, the staff are very polite and friendly there. Also got a surf shop joined to it. A great place for a coffee or tea before you go on the bay. All round a great Café 5/5

Top service and food as always- well done👍😀💯

Toilets very clean, nice coffee stop before a coastal path walk. Friendly and helpful. Drinks were hot and a nice outside benches to sit.

Food and coffee was nice but the service was absolutely shocking. 8 people in front of me in the line and took 25 minutes to be served. Could not believe 3 people were working. Not to mention I was given an americano with milk when the server specifically asked me whether I want milk in it, to which I replied no.

Friendly staff, tasty hot chocolate (wish I got the premium now) and nice pasties. Location is excellent, we loved Constantine Bay. Will be returning.

Great café just off the beach. Helpful friendly. Wonderful quality pasties and panini. Surfboard and bodyboard hire

Fab hot chocolates! Right by the beach. The staff are really lovely and helpful!

Whilst on hols recently, went there most days for a coffee, and a cake. well I was walking it off later. friendly owner, very clean, the coffee is really good quality. Also has WiFi, as the signal is really bad in that area. Much nicer...

Great friendly staff, full of fun, and lovely coffee.

Fantastic cafe close to the beach. Good food and drink at reasonable prices. Deffinately worth a visit. We do frequently.

Stopped by today after a fabulous walk around the bay. The lovely guy serving went out of his way to accommodate our request and everything we had was super. We will be back.

Small outdoor beach cafe next to beautiful Constantine Bay.Good value for money compared to the often overpriced restaurants in Cornwall. Great coffee and paninis with good quality ingredients. Well worth a visit.

Myself and my family arrived at this cafe before making our way to the beach. Not only was the manager not wearing any PPE, didn’t wash his hands once, he proceeded to berate my Mother for paying with cash. She had been tested tor Covid...

Spot on little place for a quick snack or drink after a beach visit. Real nice toasties and a decent cup of coffee! Nice to support a local business!

Nice location and good for drinks . Very near the beach , so if you are on the beach you don't have far to go . Food is café style but good

We visited twice this year. The food is fantastic. Sausage rolls that the kids loved and great pasties. The best chocolate brownies I have ever had! Really friendly and helpful. Also useful to know there are wet suits, boards and windbreaks to hire this year.

Couldn’t speak highly enough of this little place. No fuss Cornish pasties, sausage rolls crisps they can’t go wrong. They distinguish themselves with AMAZING customer service, everything is super clean, nothing is too much trouble. Very family friendly, great coffees, not chocolate even a sneak beer or Prosecco can be drunk on site. Constantine Beach is a much visit and this cafe completes your day.

We sat here in the sun on a cooler Thursday and tucked into lovely pasties and hot drinks. Reasonable prices and friendly, happy people working there.

Very friendly young couple running this little Place . Good quality and all reasonably priced . We just had coffees traybakes which were from the local baker and ice creams . The pasty’s looked good - next time !

This little beach cafe is spectacular! A great addition to the beautiful Constantine Bay. Easily accessible for those days on the beach or even if you’re running past in a hurry. It serves locally sourced tea & coffee, with additional hot & cold drinks available, piping hot, locally sourced pasties & bakery sweet treats, snacks, locally sourced ice creams & there’s now even an offer of beer, wine & let’s not forget...prosecco when served with food eaten on the premises!! Brilliant! It’s a fantasticly renovated space, environmentally friendly, with hugely exciting prospects ahead. What really makes this little beach cafe GREAT is it’s friendly, personable, customer focused & motivated owner, who clearly cares for the area, local people and all visitors whilst maintaining its environmentally friendly ethos.I truly recommend a visit! Bee

A brilliant little place serving good coffee, locally sourced fresh pasties, cakes and ice creams (among other things). A sympathetically renovated building has become a little cafe with exciting plans for the future. Better still, it is all driven by an excellent and friendly man who clearly cares about the beach and the area. Well worth a visit.
