Genki Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Just back from lunch at Genki and had a really delicious nasi goreng. Sounded like they have a new chef - she's excellent.

I have used Genki all the way through the summer.. and then it changed hands...so sad the lady is lovely and coffee and smoothies are still good Appalling portion control and prices, are sadly this is what has put me off using this place again This is an £8 sandwich below... dry bread and virtual no filling. I'm.so tired of paying for high end prices and being ripped off Cornwall will do itself iver by this! I hope you read this review take a walk up to st agnes Bakery and see their stuffed sandwiches for half the price!!!! Below is what I was offered as a gourmet sandwich No better than Aldi!

Popped in on the way back from our morning dip in the sea…recommend the Apple and Bischoff waffles….they're soooo good!

Best waffles ever! This little gem is definitely worth a trip up from the beach. Can thoroughly recommend the apple crumble 😀

An absolute gem of a place that is a must for anyone visiting St Agnes (or nearby)! The smoothie bowls are absolutely amazing and you can choose from healthy or naughty! The waffles are also the best we’ve had this side of Belgium! Really friendly staff and set in a beautiful little garden with the noise of the nearby stream babbling along. Perfect spot

Amazing smoothies and delicious bagels. The perfect hangover cure. We always stop here on route to the beach. Green groms are my personal favourite and the halloumi bagel was fantastic. Highly recommend

What a lovely place. Staff were so friendly and the Creme Egg Rockie Road was amazing. Great location and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back soon.

After coming to St Agnes for a wander today, we found this cafe on our way up from the beach. Stopping off for a quick drink and some ice creams, the staff we amazing, and although overcast we sat in the garden with the dogs, which are stunning. Next time we will eat! What a gem!

Only in St Agnes for a short stay and found Genki by accident. So glad we did, the food and service were brilliant and the secret garden surrounding it, made it feel like we were in a different country.

Great little cafe serving delish smoothies - staff/owner are charming highly recommend stopping off on way to or from the beach

Great food, friendly service and they even have games to play whilst waiting. My daugter also got a loyalty card and ended up with a free coffee!

I have visited Genki once before and had a salad last time. I decided to try the smoothie bowl as I have never found a good one in Cornwall, I was not disappointed⭐️ Super thick and filling! Good value for money also. The location is cute, could do with some more seating as I see it becoming popular 🙈 Have to say the lady we were served by this time was not as warm as the last, but she was still nice enough. Will definitely be back again.

lovely little spot for snacks, light meals, drinks. Cute little garden, nice friendly staff, delicious food.

The Thai food is amazing and authentic Thai. The best pad Thai I have tasted in years! And such a lovely garden to eat in. Thankyou so much, will be back.

This place is a little gem and probably the best place you’ll find on the North coast! Everything from the food, to the service is fantastic. Sarah, the owner, always welcomes us with a lovely big smile and always goes the extra mile. I love to chill in the sun trap garden on my day off. You have to try the waffles, smoothies, hummus AND an oat milk mocha! So basically just try everything, you won’t be disappointed :)

Genki's serves a great range food including lots of gluten free, dairy free and vegan dishes. The smoothie bowls are lush, as are the sandwiches (with NICE gluten free bread!) Always great service and great coffee!!!

We arrived at 6.30 (only 1.5 hours after opening) to find that some dishes were sold out - we ordered from what was left and one of us, a vegetarian, was specifically told his dish was ‘on top’ ( all dishes served in a big paper bag) - but it was chicken 😡 When this was attempted to be remedied, he was as told that his first chosen dish was unavailable (as this dish was being served to a fresh customer) 😡 I viewed the current owner (who took our orders and £) was distracted by a group of friends/family sitting directly behind her - that didn’t help and was frankly ‘shoddy’ - enough said I think 😡

For such a small cafe, seeing the flower filled garden was a real surprise. Plenty of outdoor seating & shade if required. Enjoyed the lentil Dahl. Lots of vegan cake options. Lots for vegans here.

This is a beautiful garden cafe with lovely, friendly staff and delicious food too. Well worth a visit and we are looking forward to returning next time we are in St Agnes

This cafe is so inviting lovely inside and a lovely garden varied menu . Take away is available as well .

What a delight at the end of a coastal walk. The vegan carrot cake was devine, the beat I've ever tasted 😋

A lovely spot to drink great coffee and enjoy lovely cake, whilst listening to the river and bird song. A nice outside seating area and friendly staff.

Beautiful, well priced and alternative. Cool tiered seating in semi-secluded location and, most importantly, great food and coffee! Definitely worth a visit, or multiple!

Amazing food! Reasonable pricing! They did forget one item of food however wasn’t an issue and I wasn’t fussed! Totally worth the 30 mins drive for some breakfast ❤️

Service was friendly and the location is quiet. Great food and catering for intolerances is worth the visit to this quiet place. The smoothies are excellent and taste delicious. Highly recommended place to go in st agnes for a healthy light bite and drinks.

We stumbled across this place on the way to the beach, they do amazing smoothie bowls which can be enjoyed in their quirky little terraced garden. Highly recommend this place!

This little cafe decked out in adorable fashion was so good we had to go back the next day. Very friendly staff, a lovely place to sit and have breakfast (even if the sun wasn't too warm for us!) and the best smoothie bowl I...

So we walked a good 20 minutes to have breakfast here. We checked the opening times on here and google and when we arrived at 10:30 it was closed. If business is that easy to turn down I’m astonished and there were at least 4...

Called in a couple of times - food was lovely, staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended

This place is by far my favourite cafe in Cornwall, food is excellent - would highly recommend the smoothie bowls and waffles! Staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful and create an excellent vibe.

Had a nice lunch here today, very good service and sat in the garden in the sunshine. Food was spot on.

Visited 3 times whilst staying in St Agnes, really enjoyed everything I tried. Staff are really friendly, everything is super fresh and yummy. Definitely worth the stop!

Their Mavericks Mocha smoothies and coffees keep me going some days, the food is always fab and the service even better! Beautiful garden and wonderful spot.

You know that feeling when you are in that Goldilocks zone... maybe lying on a beach somewhere with the sound of the sea in the background, a gentle breeze wafting across and the sun shining at just the right temperature for you? Well a Genki...

Delicious food, stunning location, friendly staff. Definitely worth visiting. We’ll be back one day.

Came here twice during a one week stay in St Agnes. The best place for brunch; go for a smoothie bowl or the granola was delicious. Really liked the mocha smoothie too with banana, coffee and espresso - yum! Coffee is great here too. Lovely...

Delicious 😋 & stunning location ☀️ Only downside is parking. Park in the village and a short walks fine 🌿

We were so lucky to visit this little gem of a cafe. We have visited St Agnes before and are so thrilled to have a new place to visit and enjoy delicious healthy food. The staff were super friendly and the situation of the cafe quite delightful.I particularly liked the fact that with the smoothie bowl you could choose a variety of different toppings and bases. It was a delectable treat that I would throughly recommend to everyone.Needless to say we have visited this cafe a few times this week and also enjoyed coffee and cakes on our way back from beach. On our last visit the owner was very kind as we turned up five minutes before her closing time at 2pm. (Having worked in the catering industry I know how this can feel.) Whilst wearing a cheeky grin we asked if she would mind serving us and she gave us a sweet smile and obliged with nothing but politeness. Thank you for filling our bellies with yummy food and also for making us feel so welcome in your wonderful special village. We look forward to returning again.

This is Café is a gem. Go for feel good food and feel good vibes. The owner, Sarah, is the warmest person and the whole team here clearly love what they do because you are always served with smile and laughter. I go here for vitamin and caffeine fix regularly. My one year old Daughter loves Acai! Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend Genki highly enough. Despite the difficulties related to COVID-19 Sarah and her very professional staff go above and beyond to look after customers. This morning I enjoyed a delicious mocha and a smoothie bowl. I regularly meet here with friends and would like to thank Sarah and staff for carrying on their impeccable service and delicious offerings

There is so much to love about this place, the warm welcome from lovely staff, the great and very reasonably priced menu, the cheerful and uplifting decor, the amazing coffee, the fabulous pop up nights! I don’t think there’s a nicer garden anywhere else in Cornwall. Whether you’re on your own or with friends or family, I have found Genki a great all rounder. I am there almost weekly to meet friends and I totally love it. The smoothie bowls are a MUST and despite the trying times of Covid 19 this awesome little business has packed some punch and continued to deliver. Very highly recommended. Even on the most low of days a visit to Genki cheers me right up, there aren’t many places that can do that. Keep it up guys, we love it!

Turned up at 3pm for tea & gluten free cake, as i had read great reviews & to my horror it shut at 2pm, but i spoke to a local in the carpark, who said the Genki cafe seems to open & shut, when they feel like it, so don't be surprised when you turn up & it's shut

Me and my partner (locals) visited Genki for the first time this summer. We got there early, parked right outside and ordered breakfast.My partners smoothie bowl was amazing and a great portion size. I had a ham and cheese bagel and a banana milkshake. Neither disappointed and the presentation was great. Friendly service. We will visit again.

Called twice during my week cycling around - a great find for a refreshment stop especially with my dietary restrictions - not only cakes which are both gf &df free but also gluten free bread is available. Staff really friendly and nice cosy seating outside around the garden. So my top spot in Cornwall so far if your in need of dairy and gluten free treats - the carrot cake was top notch today - I’ll be cycling that way again for sure

Great little find. Smiley staff. Nice cocktails. If you're after somewhere to get out of the sun for a quick drink or two, it's perfect.

I treated my family to a wonderful brunch. Between us we had smoked salmon bagel, acai smoothie bowl and 2 decadent waffles. Washed down with delicious smoothies and tasty coffee. This was my 4th visit and will make a beeline for it next time I’m in St.Agnes. Friendly staff also makes this a hidden gem.

'TA' to the rescue, as ever. Saturday morning breakfast here. Just gorgeous, contemporary, quirky and human. We loved it, will return soon !

After reading some reviews we decided we had to try this place and it didn’t disappoint! We came in the afternoon for tea and cake - delicious !We enjoyed it so much we went the next day for brunch - myself , husband and two children all really enjoyed our choices - not to mention the super friendly service !We are now en route for our third visit before the end of the holiday! Do yourself a favour and go!

Visited today whilst in St Agnes, and sat outside in the pleasant garden area. What struck me first when ordering the platter for 2, a tea and a hot chocolate with soya milk - was I asked to substitute the ham (am veggie!) for some tofu that I’d seen on another dish. No hesitation, just a immediate ‘Yes, no problem’, which is just so refreshing! Really great food, lovely experience, would highly recommend this place.

I am a local and seen Genki on social media and knew I hat to try it, and at last I have, it was lovely, staff are great, food was delicious and the garden is so pretty. I will most certainly be going back soon..

Lovely, tiny cafe, very reasonably priced with a fabulous garden. This cafe is between St Agnes village and Trevaunance Cove and so not majorly busy but worth seeking out.

Very friendly cafe on the way to and from the beach. Has very nice coffee and sells very good ice cream.

Thank you Sarah for a wonderful breakfast. Attentive service & healthy fresh food (gluten free & decaf)

I struggled to choose from the menu as there are so delicious choices. We went for breakfast and I had a cream cheese bagel with chilli jam which was amazing and my husband had a smoothie bowl and we shared the waffles (for dessert)! We ordered too much food but it was our first trip to Genki and wanted to try a selection (we did eat it all :-) ). All was super yummy and service was polite, friendly and in good time. Will be definitely returning and have recommended to friends.

I just love this little cafe. Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful food and drink. Their caramel frappucino was just fantastic. Thanks Genki and see you soon

We had toasties and smoothies here which was amazing. The staff were friendly and the garden area is very peaceful to sit in. Would 100% recommend!!

Small café in the lovely village of St Agnes So far (2nd best place in Cornwall for cream teas) Place order with the delightful staff in the cabin and wonder up the hillside where tables have been strategically dug into the hillside

Visited for lunch and was delighted by the food served. Fantastic service and very substantial smoothies! Popped back later for coffee and cake as it was so good - recommended!

This little gem is in a chalet on the way down to Trevaunance. It has good coffee and tea and nice cold drinks and smoothies. The toasties are excellent and plentiful.Nice salad and dressing. Very charming staff.

Great service, lovely food, beautiful garden. Excellent food and coffee. We would definitely recommend.

Popped in for a light lunch after a walk in the surrounding area before heading for the beach.

Stopped by for a coffee had great coffee and a good chat :-) Amazing garden, I’m sure it’s even better in a summer day! Keep up the good work!

A lovely little place for tea or coffee built into a hillside with loads of outdoor seating. There's something a bit " Enid Blyton " about this place, Parking is difficult as on a narrow lane leading to cove but worth the effort - recommended.

Lovely service from lovely staff.. All very reasonably priced... Try the Choc Milkshake with a shot of Baileys.. Mmmmmm...

What a lovely little cafe. My wife and I came across Genki as we walked to the beach near St Agnes. Sarah greeted us with a smile as she was opening and served up our perfect breakfast with delicious acai bowls and lovely aromatic coffee. The decor is relaxed and fun, the food was prompt and energising and the conversation with Sarah was rich and interesting. It's a tiny place and well worth dropping in. A genuine local.

This little cafe is definetly worth the walk up the hill from the beach, friendly staff very welcoming even to our dog, massive smoothies and excellent cream tea, lovely garden to sit in.

It has been 2 1/2 years since we last visited St Agnes and the ownership of this cafe (but not the name) has changed.

We never made it to the beach at St Agnes because we settled in at the cafe and enjoyed great coffee and two huge smoothie breakfast bowls. The owner was fun to talk to on this quiet morning. We loved the cosy, quirky interior of the cafe. When the rain started falling we were glad we had chosen Genki Cafe over a wet walk.

We came across this little gem whilst walking in st Agnes and what a find! Being a vegan, it turns out, is quite easy in this little corner of the world, when you come across a place like this with deliciously freshly made to order food, eating out is a joy! I had smashed avocado on our first visit and second visit the tofu salad. Yummy!

I popped in with my dogs and plan to work my way through their exotic smoothie and breakfast bowl menu. Actually tempted in by the bacon smells wafting on the outside grill and back again for a coffee and lunch after a walk along the coastal path. A perfect dog walker stop to refuel. Friendly and considerate staff who fussed over the dogs. Lovely.

Well worth the visit and wait for food. Will be back again. Just needs more staff and a bit more attention to detail on service (no pot of tea served with scones, no cutlery given, forgot items on order). Staff rushed off their feet as it was such a lovely sunny day, with plenty of dog walkers stopping by.

We booked to go to the sushi special night but when we turned up with our tickets we were told we couldn’t come in. They had completely messed up our booking and were apparently expecting us in Sep despite us having tickets for Aug! After a 45 minute drive just for this, it was incredibly annoying, and then we had to ask for a refund and were given no other compensation. Zero customer service.

We stopped here walking back from the beach, the ladies running the cafe are lovely and smiley.

Looked for somewhere different for breakfast and this was a perfect choice. The granola bowls were lovely and the service was done with a smile. Even when a problem with a cold cup of coffee, no problem and was sorted straight away. lovely setting in the garden. perfect if it's a sunny day.

We had a delicious lunch at Genki on Quay Rd down to Trevuance Cove. A very good selection of sandwiches, salads, breakfast food available all day. Healthy and delicious salad. The kids loved the scones and waffles. We will be back next time we are in St Agnes.

What a really lovely place - a great excuse for a stop when walking back up the steep hill from the beach! Lovely service - Bella was really nice and helpful. Ice creams and milk shakes were stupendous! Definitely worth a visit!

Headed here when needing a mid-afternoon snack. Outside area set in terracing so need to wander around somewhat in order to find a table. We just had a scone, carrot cake and drinks, and all were good. That's all we needed but having said that the food that passed our table heading elsewhere looked mouthwatering

Walked by at first as it was very busy so walked down to the cove and back by which time there was only a few there and one car ,ordered the wife a sandwich and I ordered tea and a salad,the tea came real quick but 25 minutes later we had to ask where was our lunch ,other people who came after us had their orders before us ,my 9.50 cheese and ham salad was so small three thin slither of cheese and one thin ham ,my wife was struggling to find the bacon in her sandwich,,,should,v gone down the driftwood and had their good size crab sandwich,,really really dissapointed will never ever go back

Visited this cute, informal cafe again for lunch on a hot and busy Sunday afternoon - we had to wait quite a bit for our food and there was a bit of a mix-up on our order, but it was as delicious as ever when we got it. Sarah and her team are efficient, but only have a tiny kitchen, so at peak times they have to work very hard. Smoothies (Detox duck dive) as stunning as always. We love this spot, and its idiosyncrasies.... and the cakes are gorgeously sticky!

Amazing carrot cake, shame they don't stay open a little later to do main meals. But perfect for a spot of lunch.

Stopped here on a rainy day in May and it was just fabulous. The most delicious sandwiches and the BEST carrot cake. Lovely friendly service too. Will be back

Very happy helpful and friendly staff. We were pleasantly surprised with the indie vibes and well above average food. The mix of flavours within such simple dishes took a average food to an above average experience. The garden itself was very well presented and I would 100% reccomend. Very happy with the experience

We'd passed this place on a few occasions on our 3 day trip to St Agnes but each time it was closed because it was either a Monday or it was too late in the day.

From previous reviews we decided to visit Genki. We weren’t disappointed! Lovely seating areas outside, beautiful garden it felt like an oasis. The children devoured their waffles & the adults had a couple of the sharers. Highly recommend this place everything was fresh & great prices!

Set in the idillic valley of Quay Road, St. Agnes, this is a lovely cafe come coffee bar come hipster handout, with tasty, different food in a lovely environment, served by nice people.

This an absolute gem in Cornwall...I visited several times and was never disappointed...salads were delicious and it’s refreshing to eat a sandwich that didn’t come with crisps...extremely friendly staff

Lovely little cafe. Very friendly staff. Didn’t actually eat but food coming out looked delicious. Small garden area with 6 or so tables. Well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Another great visit on Saturday for lunch. Detox smoothie was welcome after a late night at Eden. Lots of great choices for food and drinks so will be heading back soon !! Many thanks for the great service as always

What a lovely little cafe, we had a acai bowl, toasty and a bagel with coffees, all were excellent and the coffee was really good quality too. Go and visit it doesnt look much from the outside but the quality is fabulous.

Great place - been twice so far and coffee and food is delicious. Top quality. On Sunday’s they do Bacon Sandwiches on a BBQ. Delicious. On other days it’s things like Bagels, Peanut Butter and banana, or Granola and yoghurt bowl. Great coffee too.

What a fantastic little cafe. We went for a family breakfast and left feeling like we’d found a little gem. Something for everyone. Waffles loaded with various toppings for the kids, a huge açai bowl laden with blueberries, strawberries, bananas & hazelnuts, which was delicious, and smashed avocado on bagels with chilli sauce. All great value for money too.

epic, a lovely place to visit / find, our breakfast were great the lovely staff looked after us so well, stunning coffee, which I really needed will be back if we are any place close,

It has to be said, the cream tea was the best! The scones were fresh from a local bakery, the jam was full of fruit and the cream in peak condition, served with tea. It was delicious as was the blueberry smoothie. Cold water was freely available.

I was delighted to get beautiful gluten free scones here. Really tasty. Gardens are lovely & relaxing I could have spent the whole afternoon there.

It was passed our lunch time so popped in for a meal. I am so glad we did as the food is wonderful. My wife had smoked salmon salad, I had the pama ham salad. I didn't think you could make a salad so scrummy but these girls did.

We had a lovely visit to Genki yesterday, the menu has some delicious vegan and gluten free options, and reasonably priced for the quality of the food and drink! Very friendly staff too, I highly recommend a tasty visit!

Love this little cafe in St Agnes. Really friendly and welcoming staff, lovely little menu with a nice range of options for all (including those with dietary requirements!) great sun trap garden. Could happily sit here all afternoon!

We were visiting the area and came by this little gem for some breakfast. I had a bagel, smoothie and coffee and they were all delicious! Really fresh and I asked for some avocado with my salmon bagel what the lady serving was happy to...

We went twice for breakfast at Genki Cafe in St Agnes. The food was delicious. Lots of fresh natural products, we had smoothies and bagels. Lots of subtle flavours!! The Cafe is also conveniently situated in between the main village and the beach in plush...

Always nervous when a favourite place gets a new owner but, dare I say it, genki is even better than it was before. The previous owners have obviously passed on their know how about laid back, friendly customer service.
