Crumpets in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Unfortunately there are no toilet facilities here. The public toilets are locked at this time of year and the car park toilets were flooded and unusable. We went in to order as the selection seemed OK but did not stay as we had to go to the only open pub to use their toilets and stayed in there! Please sort your toilet situation out Polruan.

Great rest place for Hgv drivers with fab views

Stopped here this week...I was treated to a lovely cup of tea and sandwich, served by a very friendly lovely lady. Looking forward to another visit hopefully soon.

I had bacon, sausage and mushroom in a crusty bap and a coffee. It was very good.

Lovely sausage, egg and bacon sandwich, coffee and cake this morning. Great place, great food, great value, great service. You'd be a fool to drive straight past... 👍🙂👏

Superb food freshly prepared to order, customisable menu and service with a smile every time. Lovely views across the Teme valley, open nice and early. My favourite stop, by miles. Fantastic cup of tea!

The best Sausage Bacon and Egg butty I've ever had at a roadside cafe. Freshly cooked locally sourced bread and meat and all for a fiver, can't be beaten. 👍👍👍

We have been visiting Jam First during our holidays for a while now. Absolutely love it. Coffee the best and food freshly made. Staff are friendly and accommodating with nothing being too much trouble. It's nice to know staff remember us and called us 'The Cappuccinos'. Would recommend this cafe to anyone

Started visiting during Covid, when this was one of the few places open, and still one of my favourite stops. They do the best bacon rolls! Always a smile, and friendly service.

Firstly a shout out to the staff. Friendly and cooperative in every way. Nothing too much trouble. Chat to the locals inside who are very welcoming. Homemade crumble excellent.

Local butcher meat local Baker fresh bread, this is by far and away the best food available.

Very high quality food, freshly made to order, served with a smile in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Great service, Great food, value for money, friendly lady serving! Would definitely call if passing again. Was fairly busy which just shows how good the place was!

Very friendly and food is amazing. See you again soon

Amazing food !!service with a smile every time thank you

Good lunch for a lay-by plus nice customer service.

Fantastic service and fantastic food. 👏🏻

Jam first is a traditional Cornish café (in Devon it’s cream first) - excellent breakfast and brunch, I usually get mine bespoke and am never disappointed. If you’re in Polruan, pop in Jam first for a friendly snack.

Very friendly Can highly recommend sausage and hard egg cob with loads of tomato sauce Would recommend the food to everyone

Love going in here with my mum who is local to the village ,the staff are lovely and there's always a good happy crowd eating inside. Food is simple but good.well worth a visit .they also do takeaway. Not only that you can take food brought from the cafe and eat it in the Russell pub next door .WHATS NOT TO LIKE

We stopped here for a coffee as a halfway point in SW coast path walk the coffee was excellent my partner had the pasty which was great - the staff were charming and welcoming- cafe now called. Jam First

It’s now called Jam first , just had a fabulous breakfast and to top it off the best coffee I have had in Cornwall so far, very friendly staff

Very good food and Zoe very nice lady

Always a pleasure to visit crumpets. Above and beyond to deliver quality food at a good price. Credit were credit due.

Fantastic bacon and locally sourced ingredients. Friendly staff great place to stop for food. Don't miss this one

When we visited there were no indoor table - you ordered at a window and collected from a doorway. The sandwiches were made up fresh so you could order what you wanted. They were good quality, reasonably priced and served quite quickly. We took them away and ate on picnic tables overlooking the harbour.

Just stopped off for a bite on route back to Worcester. Lovely services and amazing food. Thumbs up from me👍

We were in Polruan for four days at the end of March They only offered a take away service from 8.30am to 1.30pm Monday to Saturday I guess most of their customers come from the shipyard Expect a bit of a wait but the Breakfast Baps are very good They do have a sit down area which may be open later in the year We were self catering and the options in Polruan are very limited so the short hours and limited menu was disappointing

Lovely lady nice food and well priced

Lovely food and a welcome sight after a long drive always a welcome service and can order ahead over the phone and will be ready when you get there …

Lovely little stop if you're wanting a break from the road. Easy access in and out of lay by, no matter which side of road you're on. Food was good, and fairly priced too. Lady behind the counter is friendly and welcoming. Handy bins that weren't overflowing situated on site too.

This cafe is now called Jam First, we had the Jam First box, which is scones, clotted cream and Strawberry Jam in a take away box. Quality of the contents was good, the jam was Tiptree and the scones were light. What was a slight surprise was the inclusion of tea bags but no offer of a take away tea, was told the tea bags were "complimentary".

Excellent food will definitely stop there again

After ordering a cake and a gluten free brownie, the server tried to put them in the same bag. I quickly stopped her and asked for a separate bag. Obviously annoyed by this, she put the brownie down on a board covered in crumbs. When she attempted to put that one in a bag for me, I pointed out that it was now no longer gluten free. Obviously annoyed again, she put that one back kn the pile and gave me a different one, and didn't change the tongs. I came out feeling like I was being awkward, which is not very nice.

Friendly lady serving food was good so definatly stop again if passing

Absolutely brilliant I really enjoyed the food and the service was second to non 😀

Lovely pasties and cakes, all cooked on premises so they are able to answer questions really evens etc.

A really great place for a bacon bap and a peice of home made cake...!!!

We are chiorino fitters.... Just found this place... On our way to a job in Leominster... The bacon sausage bab was fantastic.... The lady serving was kind and very pleasant... Excellent service... Wil be back again....

My child doesn’t like scones, yet after trying mine he got himself a supply for a journey back home from holidays, this is how good it was :) good coffee good ice cream, lovely scones, delicious panini and bacon baps for breakfast, all fresh and delicious, couldn’t make it better myself. Would highly recommend :) and lovely friendly staff too!

Awesome sausage bap and great cuppa.

Lovely little pit stop cafe well it should be a cafe haven't tried the crumpets yet as I caught her just opening up great service though and such a great view 👌 hopefully get to visit again sometime.

Top quality food to keep me going on a drive from Nottingham to Builth wells. Top notch bacon and egg sarnie...A****

not the best big shop social distancing seems an issue petrol station staff very good not found this with the super market over priced

Great food support local business

Best breakfast bap. Lovely cake too.

I love the way this business has adapted - great takeaway coffees and snacks, along with super friendly service!

We visited this café on most days to get a simply delicious takeaway of different kinds of quiches and scones. Lots of interesting flavours. Definitely recommend visiting when you are in Polruan.

I loved the fact this was run by a few women and annually visits over the years have not disappointed. good home cooked food and good cakes make it worth checking it out

Just had a weeks holiday in Polruan and visited crumpets cafe most days to get a takeaway Cornish cream tea pack which was very good. I have a blood cancer which makes me breathless very quickly and had to sit down on a chair outside the cafe today - but it was very quiet and nobody was at the cafe. Within a few minutes a lady came out and said “ you cannot sit there - it’s for customers only “. I just cannot believe they took approximately £45.00 throughout the week and the first time I did not buy anything and I wanted a quick rest they ordered me off a seat that nobody required. Shame on you. !!!!

My favourite stop on the bike - always a great welcome, and great food.

On one of our signature wanders around picturesque Cornish towns, we stumbled, not literally, across this little beauty. The café itself is wee and cute and at the time we visited, had closed its seating area but was operating a take-away service, which included some fine paninis which we got our teeth into with amusing quantities of gusto. It is remarkably inexpensive compared to the tourist hotspots of Fowey, and I was very impressed with not just the service but the flavour.If you are looking to support a genuine local business and are looking for some honest grub and not some exorbitantly-priced, pretentious mush for your Instagram feed, this is the place to go.

Freshly baked bread , cakes , pasties quiches etc. All delicious, friendly service and good coffee. Perfect for our self catering break, also doing croissants and pain au chocolates in the morning. We got into the swing of ordering our daily loaf the day before as they sell out quickly. I wish this was in my street at home!

Delicious breakfast! Recommend.

An excellent place to eat on the road!

Great food, affordable and the owner is simply amazing. A must go if you live around or drive through 😋

Great coffee and bacon sarnies. Zoe is friendly and welcoming.

Staying in a cottage just up the road from here, walked passed a couple when it was closed, but didn't look much.A nice window display when it was open, went into buy one or two and was a bit taken aback when asked what I wanted as soon as first foot in the door!! Whoa!!Was going to have a browse. Ah wellGood selection of pies and the two I did pick were OK

Visited when in the area. The staff are friendly and we only had coffee and slice of cake but all was very nice and homemade cake too. We popped in on the way back from our walk on the way to the ferry so it’s the perfect stop off for refreshments

Lovely little cafe who were only too pleased to provide us with a yummy brunch. My husband had the sausage, bacon and egg roll which was packed with lovely tasty produce and not being able to have a roll, the nice lady gave me the same with gluten free toast. They were served with a smile and good humour, which was just what we needed having become drenched on a grotty wet morning. Great value too at only £4 each. Thank you!

Small and welcoming cafe ideally located at the Polruan end of the National Trust Hall WalkVery friendly ladies serving from an open plan kitchen and they make an excellent sausage & egg sandwich! Good value for money compared to the cafes in Fowey. Hope to have the chance to return. Note: Soon to be re-named ‘Jam goes first’ but there’s no listing for that as yet so leaving my feedback here.

Small little cafe selling pastries to go. Lovely lady selling a variety of home made cakes and pastries. I was there towards the end of the summer season. The lady says she starts winding down the range at this time of year. The cakes didn’t look as sharp as you might get in a larger place but they were very tasty. Just the sort of place to visit before going on a long coastal walk when you need to pack the rucksack,

We are a family of 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Between is we had a BLT baguette? Cornish pasty, tuna mealy, homemade chocolate cake, brownies, ppt of tea and diet cokes. Great price, large portions, friendly staff. Only downside is that it's cash only, however you can get cash from the post office round the corner.

This place relies on the lack of competition for its custom. I ordered smoked salmon & scrambled egg at £7.50. The scrambled egg was cooked in the microwave so was pretty foul. I would recommend taking the ferry (£2.30/adult) across to Fowey and going to any other cafe - there are much better and cheaper options. Don’t waste your money here.

There's no doubting other reviewers when they say that Crumpets is a friendly cafe, it is. A bit of a squeeze when its busy, clean and lovely staff. A mug of tea is a very fairly priced but unfortunately breakfasts are child sized and rolls are just that, small white finger rolls that are poorly filled not a lovely baguette. We were warned by a local that portion sizes have been meager since a nice member of staff left and we should of taken heed of the advice. Anyhow the tea was nice and we would always go back for hot drinks but not breakfast unfortunately as they are very expensive for what yhey are, especially when one vonsiders that our benchmark Wetherspoons breakfast is near half the price for twice as much utilising equally good ingredients.Crumpets can be found on the right hand corner on the next street up from the harbourside.

We loved the small quiche & the pasty's. Just wonderful! We also went to the sister shop, the Polruan Bakery up the road a bit, called Crumpets Too.

Crumpets is a a great stop on the corner just above the harbour. We stopped off for a light lunch after a walk up to the blockhouse and coastal path viewpoint.Staff are cheerful and helpful with sandwiches made to order based on local fresh ingredients. We chose a selection of menu and specials and thoroughly enjoyed them although the just in time / fresh supply meant ingredients , choice of breads etc were all limited at 130 pm on a Saturday requiring a few compromises on bread or ingredients. Nevertheless the result was worth it and very good value.

Die heiße Schokolade mit Marschmellos ist eine Wucht und das Frühstück selbst ein geschrumpfter Form richtig gut, ausgiebig ist leider nicht zu schaffen.

Run by two cheery ladies and frequented by helpful locals, this small establishment is one of the best tea shops we visited during our holiday in Cornwall. The Victoria spong cake was an example of home made cake at the very best

Very small but cute little cafe. The Cornish party’s are absolutely lovely and baked at the bakery a few paces away. Cakes available along with all sorts of snacks and drinks. Really enjoyed the visit.

I visited this week and was pleased to find that it was as good as ever. The cream tea is amazing. Staff friendly and attentive. Food great. Crumpets is like a comfy pair of slippers and can be relied upon to deliver.....

…in the centre of Polruan, and as popular with the locals as it is with visitors. Good homely fare. Ferrymen catch a quick cuppa and tourists rest their feet. Find a reason to pop in!

All the pubs in Polruan shut for food too early. However Crumpets exists to keep everyone happy!! Came up from the Luggers at 2.31 after being told that the chef leaves at 2.30. Had a brilliant pasty, the soup was delicious and the sandwiches were huge and made like you would at home. Friendly staff, nice coffee and really cheap. Marvellous!!

We called here one afternoon in early November, just before they were about to close up for the day. It's quiet there on November afternoons! Without any fuss they offered to stay open for us and we enjoyed excellent cakes and hot drinks. Very highly recommended.

Très agréable halte pour un p'tit déjeuner à l'anglaise. L'accueil est très sympathique et la cuisine simple et excellente. Beaucoup de personnes visiblement du village présentes, ce qui est souvent bon signe! Nous confirmons! Bonne continuation.

The only place to find really friendly people in Polruan, the food was lovely honest home cooked cafe food. Worth going.

Stopped here one lunch time decided to have a ploughman's lunch,unfortunately it was more like a ham & cheese salad,no pickled onions or chopped apple, although the bread was excellent. Although it probably cant be helped here was also a number of flies in the cafe which was a bit off putting

We visited on Saturday morning for breakfast. Food and Coffee was excellent made to order and along with the friendly chat a really great way to start the day. I had Eggs Benedict and my wife Scrambled eggs on toast. Will definitely return.

We went in Crumpets (Too) up the hill, had a quiche and homily pie with a tea everything was excellent very fresh

Excellent for tea and cake and lovely pasties. A warm friendly welcome from all staff. Warm friendly atmosphere

This is the kind of cafe that is sadly lacking in a good many towns, everything is homemade, the soup is wholesome and the coffee can be ordered to taste .

Breakfast here was lovely! Food was scrumptious and staff very friendly and welcoming! Lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Friendly welcome and good service. Really good eggs benedict and poaches eggs on toast. Would recommend and revisit anytime.

This is the only tearoom in Polruan, but terrific! Popular with locals and visitors, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We called in on our last day to order take-out sandwiches for later and although the ladies were rushed off their feet, nothing was too much trouble, and we were served very quickly. A reason to return to Polruan!

We stayed just 80yrds for two weeks from crumpets and soon found ourselves regulars at this fantastic spot.

This was a great little find. The cream tea included 2 warm plain scones, heaps of clotted cream & strawberry jam. The scones were homemade & delicious. Service friendly & good value.

I broke my ankle up by the coastguard station and my husband and brother managed to get me down to this cafe. They were so helpful and kind and found out which minor injuries hospital was open and let me stay there until my husband came back with the car.the cakes and coffee were excellent. Such friendly people. Thank you

Popped in here after trip on ferry from fowey. A very simple place selling mainly cake and sandwiches although we ordered brown bread & they gave us white. It's ok, a bit tiny with tables squeezed in so best to go when not busy. I noticed when a family asked if there were any shops open to buy food, instead of saying yes they told them no but their bakery would be open in the morning. I felt it only right to explain that if they travel out they can buy food for the week at a supermarket.

Super cream tea. Great service. Dog and granddaughter made very welcome too. Nothing appeared to faze the lady in charge. Nice mix of tourists and locals.

Nice little friendly cafe The lady was on her own but still gave a great service ! Cooking , cleaning and serving customers

As you walk through the door you are greeted by the smell of sandwiches and crumpets! You feel like you are bye the sea! You can get you food to eat in or takeaway. The food is lovely and is good quality!

After an enjoyable walk on a chilly February day, Crumpets Café was a welcome sight in an otherwise deserted Polruan. Warm and welcoming, we enjoyed toasted teacakes and hot chocolate whilst we 'people-watched' the locals dropping in for lunch time pasties, sandwiches and other goodies.

Had a late breakfast and then came back almost everyday. The ladies, I think owners were so welcoming, just what we needed.

and, as you know, that is the best recommendation a restaurant can have. We popped in a for a cuppa, had a crab sandwich and eggs benedict and left with two huge slices of cake.

This cafe may be tiny but you can be assured of a warm welcome and great food. The customers are a good mix of locals and tourists. There is a wide choice on the menu and everything we have tried has been good. My husband loves the pasties!

Popped in to here on our way back to our car after a walk along the quay. We ordered 2 x sausage & onion relish sandwiches, 1 x cheese sandwich and 2 Cornish pasties to takeaway. Café was small but cosy and the lady behind the counter was very obliging, even putting my little girls sandwich in a box to make it easier for her to eat and giving me directions back to the car park when I popped back in to ask.

Visited on a Thursday morning and decided to have a full English breakfast. I will have to say was a fantastic choice, everything was well good, freshly cooked and tasted as good as it looked. Will be going tomorrow as well as can’t even contemplate cooking it myself in the morning.

For a good loaf and great tea and cake don't walk past, it makes the walk back up the hill so worthwhile

We have had breakfast here several times whilst staying at the Polruan Holidays Campsite.

Whilst staying in Polruan our family visited Crumpets several times including once when they had officially closed but they still made us sausage sandwiches for our tea. Lovely staff and food is great, especially the fried breakfasts. Not many tables so you may have to wait if you want to sit in but you can always take-away and go and sit on the quay if the weather is good.
