Crooklets Beach Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

A great beach for all including dogs, outdoor swimming pool powered by the sea.... VERY COLD.

Frequent visitors here, usually dashing in to avoid the next rain shower! Warming hot chocolate or more warming rum, it's always busy, and whatever the weather it has a good outlook across the beach. Reasonably priced.

Fantastic food & drink. Brilliant service. Nothing to much trouble. Great atmosphere. Live music at weekends. Dog friendly.

The food was well tasty as usual.

We enjoy a very happy experience having lunch overlooking the beach listening to live music. Lovely.

Nice coffee did not eat there but looks like a good menu

Lovely food with great gluten free options..... Fantastic Music at the weekends.

Great hot chocolate, coffee, and cakes 😀

Great service. Great coffee and cake.

A very pleasant seaside restaurant with good food and very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff.

What an ocean view, great food and ale with live music So back again with a the most amazing cream tea. Once more lovely welcome and great service. Great views of the ocean and local surfer dudes.

Very beautiful location. Coffee & Tea very tasty cakes. Staff friendly. Will return.

What a lovely place! The owner Nick and his staff are so friendly and welcoming! Live music was great fun, highly recommend!

Popped in to get a warm drink on a rainy day in October, as soon as we walked in we were greeted and served with lovely smiles! With a fast service we took our drinks out for a walk along the beach to keep us warm! Thank you 🤩

Only went in for an early morning latte an toast but was buzzing. Great views and a great way to end our holiday.

Breakfast ok but surly and arrogant staff. We didn't go back.

Found this little gem of a place. Excellent service. Quality food. Friendly staff. Booked for a Sunday roast - What a pleasant surprise! This roast was right up there! Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection- Roast pork or beef, homemade Yorkshire pud, carrots, broccoli stems, swede, cauliflower cheese, roasties and proper homemade gravy. Delicious Did I mention it was dog friendly - perfect

Great spot next to the beach. 🏖️😍

Great choice accommodates most people's needs

Great little cafe, very busy and popular.Only down side about this cafe no toilets you have to use the public toilets outside, not very nice !

All in all an enjoyable experience, the food, drinks and service are all pretty good as beach side places go. Music most Sundays and some other days / evenings. What better way to spend a summer's afternoon or evening than on the beach with food, drink and live music whilst watching the sea or the sun set? Well done you guys 👍

Great place to chill and enjoy good food and drink

Absolutely great place to eat or have a coffee. The prices are good and the food is great. The staff were excellent with us and the owner went out of his way to allow us to keep our luggage there whilst we waited for our train home. Would definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend.

Not nice food . Panini just tasted of tuna even tho is was supposed to be the vegetarian option. Over poor . Staff friendly enough tho

Tea and coffee with a view. Lovely

Good food and great atmosphere. Can be very busy but they will warn you if there's a long delay. Great place to spend an afternoon by the sea.

Lovely safe beach with great atmosphere from the band playing great music

Good cafe with nice food. Bit pricey butxa good time was had by all.

Quite a good cafe, great food, reasonable prices. Staff mostly friendly! Usually always got some live music on! Large selection of drinks, soft & alcoholic. Definitely recommend the halloumi fries which were cooked to perfection

Cracking place on the beach. Cream tea with two scones £6.50!! Lovely scones too. We'll be back for something else too!!

The staff went out of their way to overcome a mix up with an order. They rectified it and went above and beyond ordinary customer service. To cap it all, the food is exceptional!

Always busy, always booming, always quick with service and lovely staff.

Just like to say, what a welcoming establishment you are dog friendly the food was absolutely wonderful and I really did enjoy the jazz music that was on. I will certainly come again. What a fab afternoon.

What a vast improvement over the previous management/owner from several years ago. Well impressed, pleasant staff, great live music and atmosphere, highly recommend.

Brilliant band last Sunday 9 yards

Another cracking break down at Crooklets Beach Cafe, cooked perfectly using great local produce. Thanks Daniel, Jane & crew 🍽️☕🥓🍳😋👌🏻👍🏻

Crooklets Beach Café in Bude is an absolute gem! Whether you visit in the morning, afternoon, or evening, the vibe is always on point. The café often features live music, which adds to the laid-back and lively atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to relax after a surf or swim. The food here is incredible—especially the BBQ pulled pork panini, which I enjoyed so much that I had one every day during my 5-day stay! The café also has a well-stocked bar, ideal for grabbing a refreshing drink after a day in the sun. Crooklets Beach Café is a must-visit if you’re in Bude. Great food, great drinks, and great vibes —what more could you ask for?

Great full English breakfast after early morning dog walk on beach at low tide.

Good food Friendly service Food is slow to arrive during busy times

Great place, I just had a really lovely lamb burger yum and a pint 😋

Great location and good atmosphere. We only had drinks this time. Watch the sun go down.

Great place for breakfast, coffee, and pasties.

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Quite a long wait for food simply because of the number of people ordering, but quality of the food and service made up for it. Plus a free drink while I was waiting.....😀😉

I've been surfing Crooklets for 40 years and I've seen this cafe improve year on year.

Always enjoy going to crooklets. They are always welcoming.

Very busy and lots of staff, but they struggled to give a good service

I spent a day at this cafe while doing a charity fundraiser and the owner of the cafe couldn't have been more welcoming. All the staff are incredibly friendly, often coming to check on our group and see how our day was going. The food was incredible for a great price, and service was fast. Later in the afternoon they had live music playing with an array of fantastic sing along songs - classics live Proud Mary, Parklife, Mr. Brightside. Our group stayed for drinks to celebrate after our fundraiser and the cafe has a great array of choice for alcohol. If I'm ever back in Bude area I will definitely be stopping off at this cafe again. 10/10

While my photos are a few sunsets from Crooklets beach. The beach cafe has always been amazing. Whether it’s for a quick drink and snacks or cooked food the beach cafe has never let me down. I have been going for years now and it’s a beautiful spot to keep returning to. Added bonus, live music. Thank you Crooklets Beach Cafe for always being there and being wonderful despite the weather 💖💫🙏

Food was brilliant the lady that took care of us was brilliant. Milkshakes where delicious as well.

This has become my favourite Bude pitstop. Great coffee and food. My fave is the chicken bacon avo salad. I love when I am surprised by the quality of meals. The location is also fab

Nice cafe on Bude beach. Lots of seating inside & outside. You order inside and the food and drinks are then brought to the table. Totally dog ​​friendly.

This place is great. Had the joy of playing here with my band. Amazing location with fantastic staff 😎

Lovely place, not cheap, but well kept and good entertainment

Great coffee and the staff were super helpful after I was stung by a weaver fish. Thank you so much.

Great view,excellent scone,jam and cream😋 quick service 😊

Great overall experience - really lovely service, lovely food/drink and live music whilst overlooking the gorgeous beach. Reasonable prices 👍 What more could you want?! Oh, and amazing milkshakes!👌 Thank you.

Didn't have much choice for myself as I am on a restricted low fat diet, but The food was good what my wife and daughter had generous portions, friendly and welcoming staff

Just stopped for a ice-cream 🍦. Very good and a good place to watch the world go by. Visited again today for breakfast before travelling home. Had a full English, it was very good. Everything was cooked very well and the sausage was particularly good.

Always a fantastic service from the staff who are worked very hard! Food is OK, not the best but definitely not the worst! In the summer they have bands performing outside right next to where you dine... so if you're looking for a quiet family meal overlooking the beach then avoid these afternoons/evenings. It is what it is, a burger and chips kind of place!

Dog friendly, lovely new management. Delicious Angus burger and fries 🍟. NZ Sauvignon priced very fair. Raising the competitive standard. Brilliant option for Bude beach/cliff walkers!

Stopped to watch a good Ska/ Mod band playing outside of the Cafe. Lovely couple of pints overlooking the sea. Nice place! 👍

Lovely place. I didn't have high expectations for a beach cafe but honestly I was blown away by the quality! Prices were reasonable and quality was great. Best pint I've had in a while.

A very busy beach bar literally on the edge of the beach, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Must be one of the best places to people watch as well as taking in the ocean views.

Great food, service and entertainment.

We visited here more than once! Tje food is very good! I can personally recommend the American pancakes with fresh fruit, honey and yogurt! It was simply divine!!

This is a little Gem on a sunny day looking over the beach with a cold drink is so lovely

Always enjoy the food in here, very busy when we visited, will call again soon 😊

Great friendly bar/cafe with beachside seating and music.

Was a bit pricey for us coming from the north east but we needed something to eat after 10 hour journey,paid £4 chips which were nice , but was quite busy , so don't give this a miss on my account, also sold alcohol and you could eat in or out with a sea view .

Fantastic very friendly people lovely place to be

Stopped for a drink It was busy but service was good

Dropped by for a bite of lunch. Was hoping for a Cornish pasty, but sold out so settled for sandwiches and a cuppa. Sat outside as the weather was pleasant. Plenty of seating available.

Fabulous cafe right on the Oceans edge. Wonderful food, great service and often live music on weekends.

Visit wasnt planned but very pleased with food,drinks. Great staff and atmosphere

Great little cafe, right on the beach. Lots of seats and a good choice of food and beverages.

Typical seaside cafe. Friendly staff, good service and nice food

Sat right on the beach and a lovely place for a drink,only disappointment was the lack of local beer,madri isn't my choice when there are such fabulous cornish ales

Stunning location nice to grab a drink and watch sun go do down we loved itthere

Enjoyed this visit,good food and atmosphere.

A lovely beachside cafe, with bar and ice cream 🍦 They very often have entertainment on,which is brilliant when you're sitting close by on Crooklets Beach. You can order drinks to go, which they put in non-glass cups appropriate for the beach. There is also a mini nic nak shop inside where you can purchase holiday/Beach bits and bobs. The staff are lovely. Always service with a smile. 😊💛

Quick coffee and ice cream very busy

Great place to spend a bank holiday where we sat outside and listened to the free entertainment. We had a pasty each and ate it on the beach-delicious. Can eat in or take out. Very convenient and close to the beach

Our first visit here today with our son who was visiting us in Devon. 2 veggie breakfasts, a bacon sandwich and 3 coffees, one iced. Food was all very well presented, well priced, especially given the lovely location, and tasty, coffees were okay, not very hot but it was extremely busy this morning so maybe not brought out straight away? What sets this place apart was the amazing staff, the lady on the till was lovely and so very helpful, everyone was smiling and we felt very welcome, unlike another place in Bude by the canal where we were ignored by several staff until we walked away! We visit Bude regularly and will definitely return to sample more of the great menu

Didn't eat here so not sure how the food is. Usually have live music and a selection of beers, wines and spirits. Non alcoholic drinks and and ice cream parlour

I recently visited a beach bar called Crooklets Beach Bar, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, greeting us with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm. The setting itself was idyllic, with tables and chairs set up right on the beachfront, providing a perfect view of the ocean. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting and there was also an added bonus of a live band. The owner, was especially welcoming and made a point to greet each guest personally. His friendly demeanor and genuine interest in ensuring everyone was having a good time added a personal touch that made the visit even more enjoyable. He was also fantastic with kids. As for the food and drinks, they were exceptional. The menu featured a variety of fresh, locally sourced seafood dishes and classic beach bar food such as burgers, paninis and an exceptional crab sandwich which was yummy. The kids (and adults) also really enjoyed their chicken nuggets. Overall, Crooklets Beach Bar is a gem of a beach bar, combining excellent service, delicious food and drinks, and a beautiful setting. With the added charm of a friendly owner who is great with kids, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and family-friendly day by the sea. We enjoyed it that much we went 4 times over a 6 day period.

Lovely brekkie, dog friendly inside and out too👍

Great staff. Food looked great, but I didn't eat here. Dog friendly. Great drinks for coffee and cocktails.

Very pleasant Cafe, staff friendly, food was nice

Greta so kind and patient in listening to Jack (who has learning disabilities); as he ordered his blue bubblegum icecream! He wants to come again tomorrow!

Just had.oysters and Bude bay lobster Lovely

Great little beach cafe, sometimes live music too

Good coffee and just the place to watch the sea on a blustery day

Enquired about and item on the menu, sounded good so ordered it. When it came out it was nothing like the waitress described 🤮 had to leave most of it. Very disappointed.

Great little Cafe. Love the pean to at the side on sunny windy days. Nice food, friendly staff.

Lovely breakfast, great staff and a good view.

Nice place, dog friendly area under cover. Scampi and chips was very nice and served hot, reasonable price too for the beach side location. Lots of parking close by on the Just Park App.

We arrived late one morning on a rainy early spring day at the end of April 2024 after we'd already visited two other cafés in the town which were closed; presumably because of the rain. We parked in the car park, expensive at £4.90 for two hours on the Justpark mobile phone app. The cafe, which looks quite unassuming, is right next to the beach with the public toilets just behind in the car park. The staff were really friendly, welcoming and attentive; very pleasant and chatty. There are three dining areas, a large area to the front adjoining the beach with wooden bench style tables, an area to the side with a good number of tables plus the main inside area. The cafe is licenced so has several beers on tap including a Sharps IPA. The menu is pretty good. Service very good. Tables clean; no dead-trays, plates or cups lying around. Well behaved dogs are also welcome. So you can walk your dog on the beach and then enjoy a pint of Sharps at the cafe. So good we visited again today when the sun was shining and a good number of tables outside were taken. One of the girls even ground some Cornish coffee and packaged it up for my mum; nice touch 👍. A very nice café. Level 9 Google reviewer; 1,000 plus reviews, 1.5 million views and over 12,000 photos with over 50 million views and still going strong 💪. Although I'm not enamoured with Google and their service at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️. They're inconsistent. Check out my other reviews 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.

Lovely Cafe on a gorgeous beach 👍

Rude staff. Left atmosphere because we had our drinks outside. Edit. Thank you for your response, we are holiday makers. I can accept that maybe it was just a bad day for the person that served my wife. Since I never go in, I'm always outside looking after the dogs and our grandkids. I also appreciate that bad reviews are not something that you appreciate. To anyone reading this please accept this just possible could be a one off. We come twice a year and we walk into Crooklets regularly during our stay. This is our first complaint.

Great beach cafe and bar on Crooklets beach.
