Hatters Coffee House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely warm welcome and very accommodating with special requirements. Lovely mince pies, the coffee was brilliant too with Alpro soya and oat milk options for the dairy free needers. Great spot for people watching and friendly vibes :)

Fresh & fabulous, poached egg on toast and beans on toast with coffee and chai late. Always a favourite stop for the warm greeting and fun decor.

The facade and entrance to this cafe are in equal measure quirky traditional and architectural gems! I ordered flatwhite with poached eggs on toast with extra bacon. Flatwhite did not have two measures...or the coffee is not great. The poached eggs came over done and hard (done in microwave I think). Toast was very good and the bacon was thick and tasty. So mixed review, barista training is required as well as better quality beans. Staff friendly and professional. Don't use a microwave it's not very "chefy"!

We came into Hatters with high expectations and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great with friendly staff and amazing food and drinks! I will deffo be coming back soon.

Well, a friendly greeting firstly and the shop is very quaint. I asked if I could have blackcurrant jam with my cream tea and I really enjoyed every mouthful. My first time in Redruth but be sure I’ll visit again. 5*

Been coming here every Saturday since it opened. Sandra and Paul and the staff are wonderful, very friendly and like to interact with the customers. Coffee is lovely, always stop in for a takeaway if I’m in town for an appointment. Food is of a high quality, and menu has expanded to include ice cream. Caters for Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan and Vegetarian. Highly recommend.

The service is always great. Staff are super friendly, warm and welcoming. But the coffee really is terrible. This is only the second time I visited. The first time was when it was newly opened, so I thought I’d return and give them another chance. The coffee had no crema and was murky and watery with no taste. It is as if the coffee machine isn’t being cleaned properly, or unfiltered water is being used. I specifically ordered a strong coffee, so asked for it to be re-made. But it still came out the same. Scones were ok, but not fresh (microwaved warm) and we were surprised to get 1 (every other time I’ve had a cream tea, you get 2). Served with Rodda’s, but the jam was low quality ( no fruit in it). I’d return for the lovely service, but not for the coffee, unfortunately.

Excellent Tuna melt panini, cream tea, milkshake and delicious lemon and chocolate cake. Will definitely go again. Friendly staff, quick service. Thank you

Quirky cafe with very friendly staff, just stopped in for a drink but will have to return to try the cakes, they looked delicious!

Coffee was bad. They really need to learn how to make good coffee and use better quality coffee too! Very slow service for very bland below average food. Really disappointing as this could be a really lovely quirky coffee house with its different layout. They need to up their game to compete with Boesti down the road.

Recent new owners. Nice setting, it was loveLy that they are dog friendly and also have a box of toys etc for young children. Service was superb, really friendly. The only downside was the coffee. They need to go on some proper barrista training. They have a nice coffee machine but our coffees were terrible. Watery and hardly any froth. Once they have had barrista training then I’m sure the coffees will be great.

Wandering around Redruth on a cloudy morning we spotted the Hatters Coffee house and it did brighten our day. Very good coffee, excellent home made cakes and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

We had cream teas, paninis and ploughman's. The kids ate the whole thing which is rare for them, everything tasted great, service was very friendly and prompt. Also a very nice building and environment!

Visited today for a quick coffee/tea. Espresso was good and tea was also nice. Choice of soya or oat milk, nice range of cake and biscuits. Friendly staff. Book swap available and while my husband was waiting for me he had a read and staff kindly offered to turn down music!!

Popped in for a drink and early afternoon snack whilst in the area having seen numerous posts from a friend. The waitress was excellent and very attentive and the food was wonderful. The mocha and cream teas were probably the best we have ever had. We also ordered a BLT and panini which were excellent. An absolute delight and great to see such quality in the town. Well worth a look if you’re passing through or in the area.

Haven’t got a chance to try their food because the lady refused to serve me. I went in for a table for one and the shop is full. The attitude of the lady was quite rude as she just refused to serve instead of asking if I mind to wait for the customers to leave. Bad customer service, been in twice with poor experience. Not going back anymore.

Great coffee shop, good place to spend time with friends or even just a quick coffee on your own! Friendly Staff and always seems to attract good customers which makes for a great all-round experience

My wife and I called in for lunch. June and the girl made us very welcome. The flat white was lovely and food was fresh and delicious. Thank you.

We popped here for breakfast as we were early for our train. It is just minutes across the road from Redruth Station.The two young ladies at the counter were delightfully helpful and friendly. We both had ham/cheese toastie. Very fresh, homemade. Delicious.The flat white was also beautifully presented.We ordered two avocado and chicken sandwiches for lunch on the train. These were packed full on fresh bread and carefully packed in foil and a paper bag for our journey back to London.We would recommend this cafe to you without hesitation and will definitely return if we come back to Redruth.

Hatters is my favourite cafe in Redruth. It’s really beautifully fitted out, he staff are so so friendly and chatty. The coffee is great and the food is delicious.

Lovely little café with good food, yummy milkshakes for the kids and friendly staff who brought everything to the table.

I live near Redruth & visit Hatters regularly. The staff are attentive & friendly & all the food & drinks are first class with minimal wait even when busy. My only criticism is I can never decide what to choose as it’s all so lovely. If I had to make a small serious criticism though it’s that I would like a paper menu as I’m partially sighted & cannot read a lot of the menu on the wall.

Great cafe for a lunch time break! Lovely food, good portions and friendly staff, would defiantly return!

Just had a lush coffee date with friends. Just a lovely cuppa and gorgeous cherry shortbread. Love the friendly service with everything brought to your table too!

Nice cosy little cafe overlooking the main street in Redruth, friendly service ,nice coffee. Well worth a visit.

Excellent coffee, great atmosphere, lovely staff, very pleasant place to sit for a chat conveniently situated in the heart of the town what more is there to say?

Enjoyable place to meet up with friends for a morning coffee or afternoon tea, friendly staff good atmosphere.

Came for brunch, lovely choice on menu. I had toasted tea cake and my mum has the soup which was country vegetable. You got a big door stop wedge of bread and butter! Great value

Went with blind lady and her guide dog for lunch. The service was good and friendly and we both enjoyed our meals - panini and platter. The only small point was a member of staff who started organising the chairs as we were leaving and put one right in front of the blind lady! Good friendly atmosphere and plenty of room for the guide dog the rest of the time though..

Scrummy cakes and delicious coffee. Lovely staff, beautiful surroundings, really lovely gem in the centre of town. Just delightful.

Had panini and ploughman's with coffee all excellent and the ploughman's was a sizeable portion highly recommended

I'd wanted to visit Hatters for some time, recently I managed to do so and am delighted that I did.

Our 2nd visit to hatters whilst visiting family, the shop looks beautiful, decorated for Christmas!

Just in Redruth for an hour and needed a quick bite to eat. Hatters was across the lane from the carpark. We had a toasted panini and a pot of tea. The tea was excellent and the panini's too. What a friendly place, and great service too. When we're back in Redruth we'll be back in Hatters.

Popped in to Hatters for a quick coffee and cake, (elevenes) and although it's been a while since I last visited, the quality of the coffee, cakes and standard of service is still as good as I remember. We enjoyed a fresh light scone with strawberry jam and a super scrumptious almond and apricot slice with a perfect cup of Cappuccino. The golden chocolate sprinkles on top made it special :) There is a good variety of choice on the menu and gluten-free options available.

Went to Redruth to the Last Chance Hotel charity shop and that was to be our only reason for being there but then noticed this cafe and decided to go in for coffee. We are extremely fussy with coffee and cakes and found this cafe served lovely coffee and cakes too and we were amazed how cheap it was. The staff were very friendly and polite and if we come down to that particular shop again, we will come in again because of the good quality and service.

Great place for coffee with friendly service and Gluten Free and Vegan options. Once a gentleman’s outfitters now recycled to a clean friendly coffee house cafe

Only a flying visit but lovely coffee and a great selection of foods on the menus and blackboards. Loved the decor and the staff were very friendly. Very reasonable prices.

We called in for drinks on Wednesday 13th September 2017 as we had walked round the shops of Redruth town centre as we headed back towards the car. A friendly smile and welcome as we entered. We hadnt long eaten lunch but I had a coffee and my wife had a pot of team and my son had a bottle of pop all for under £5 which I feel was excellent value..The toilets for customers are upstairs but they also have a chair lift for disabled customers. A really nice cafe that we will pop in to again

I'm used to modifying my meals when I go to cafes, as I have a wheat intolerance, but I needn't have worried. Yes, OF COURSE we do platters and salads with gluten free bread. Suddenly, my world opened up, and my problem was more about which to choose! The meal was huge, and I can't remember the name of my drink, raspberry iced tea I think, but it was delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the cafe was clean and bright, and the food was stunning. Go here for a tasty lunch before you browse the vintage shops in Redruth.

El personal es amable y eficiente. La familia. Barreras a la planta baja y un montacargas silla para los inodoros de arriba. Entorno agradable y recién hecho comida y cafés. Buena selección de té y refrescos fríos locales embotellada.

Hatters es el lugar favorito para ir con mis amigos. Ambiente agradable, el personal muy amable. He probado la mayoría de las bebidas de café, capuchino, café americano, macchiato, tarde todo perfecto y con una sonrisa. Muy buena variedad de pasteles y sándwiches.

Lovely food, nice tea and coffee. The only place we stopped in Redruth. Won't be going again due to Redruth having nothing to do!

We stumbled on this cafe at the weekend when going into Redruth to get some refreshments before we set off home from holiday. The shop was very busy however a table came free and a lady stopped what she was doing to come and help us out, got a high chair and told us how to order. Food was delicious (we had a bacon sandwich and a panini) and the hot chocolate and latte was great! We cant wait to come back in the summer when we return

Lunch at Hatters Coffee delicious, comes highly recommended by all four of us who visited. The food was good and served very quickly

A theme of my eating experiences in Cornwall has been freshness and flavour. Hatters excels in these areas. Located in fascinating property in Fore Street, freshness and flavour are to the fore and lunch was truly excellent. I had a ham and cheese platter which was flawless. Very good ham, wonderful cheese, the freshest, crispest and most varied salad you could imagine, delicious chutney and pickle and fresh, fresh bread enhanced by Cornish butter. I was surprised that there was no table service - you order at the counter - but the place has, perhaps, a (deserved) reputation as it filled up soon after our arrival. To be honest, I thought the service was pretty detached but it was accurate and they had a lot of tables to think about.I would suggest that one toilet is a bit below capacity for a medium-sized restaurant.However, this is a definite place to go for lunch.

A very nice little coffee shop. A good choice on the menu and nice staff. A really good cup of coffee as well. Was a very pleasant place to stop mid shopping trip and recharge

I visited Hatters with friends for lunch during the week.The staff were very pleasant welcoming, and efficient.For those who need plenty of daylight, there are tables surrounded on three sides by glass, in what used to be the outfitters display window. This is lovely and bright on the day we visited, but would feel like a greenhouse on a very warm day.The back half of the shop was too dark for our taste, so we sat in the window.The food we had ordered arrived promptly. I had the beef salad, which, given the price, was OK. The salad was colourful, and mostly flavoursome. It came with a sauce in a separate jug. In future, I would try another dish.The one aspect which I would very much like to be different was the level of clatter coming from the kitchen. More than one of my party found this intrusive, and we kept pausing the conversation because we couldn't hear each other clearly. This background noise seems to be a common problem in cafes, in part because soft materials are not generally used to absorb the echo created by the multiple of hard surfaces. This means that all the clattering from work with crockery gets amplified. Conversation can feel like a competition with this noise!

Went for breakfast and lunch while my daughter was out riding - lovely to be greeted and remembered. Great coffee and food! Will return again many times! No wifi here :-)

Had a selection of cakes at this centrally located coffee and tea shop. Located in an old tailors (still written in the vintage glass). Had enough to keep the fussiest of gluten free vegetarians happy. Had a good selection of cakes including curiousCornish cider cake, fruit slices, carrot cake and brownies. Would go back if in town.

A great café with very friendly staff. I ordered the Cornish Brie, Bacon & Cranberry toastie and it was delicious. The Chai Latte was one of the best I have had. Lovely to sit in the window and people watch whilst having a lazy lunch. Will be returning.

Such a friendly welcome and a very pleasant place to spend time drinking and eating. They have an extensive choice of coffees, teas and other drinks too numerous to mention. The cakes were delicious and the sandwiches and panini's looked inviting although I didn't have one during our two visits.The staff were very attentive and provided a service with a smile.I would definitely recommend this venue as a place to eat and relax

Went here for midday coffee and teacake.Good news is: It is indeed clean. The staff are efficient and friendly. There is a good selection of food and drinks. It is great for families.Bad news: The Coffee is mediocre; it is mostly too hot and is a watery espresso. I suspect that the machine needs (re)calibrating at the very least. As for the Watermelon Ice tea...this mostly tastes like sugar syrup, with the watermelon so far removed it must be on holiday. The frozen slice of Watermelon was a nice touch however.On the contrary the teacake was 'ansome, toasted to perfection and served surprisingly quickly!

I went here with my sister and yound nephew. The service was quick, the place was clean and tidy, and the prices were good. The coffee was excellent as was the gluten free carrot cake - it was so moist. They didn't bat an eyelid at the mess the 2 year old made with his cake and when we asked for a dust pan and brush to clean up they wouldn't hear of it and did it themselves when we left. I really enjoy going here and it is very good value for money.

As the title suggests the standard of the coffee is excellent and the servers are professional and attentive. Table service.

Went with blind lady and guide dog for hot chocolate and brownie for me and toasted tea cake for her. The service was good and friendly and the food and drink good. However, one of the ladies took part of the order to our table when I was away and did not tell the blind lady what she was bringing or where it was on the table, which would have been useful for her. Otherwise, it was a good enjoyable visit.

Stumbled on this place when I had business in the area and wanted a quick lunch before a meeting. I had a flat white and one of 'Hatters Platters'. First the coffee was great, on par with the best I've had, it was creamy and just right for a flat white (lots of places do this drink so wrong). The platter was HUGE and great value for money, you can tell it was prepared that day instead of some soggy salad you get at most places. The staff was very friendly and happy to have a laugh with me. I left very happy and would return whenever I am in the area.

Our first visit to this little cafe and what a find!Located in a former drapers shop the inside is rather spartan (hence the overall rating of '4' and not '5') but this is more than compensated for by the quality of the food and the very friendly and helpful staff. As we had decided to share a ham salad sandwich we were provided with an extra plate with coleslaw. The sandwich was excellent. The bread and ingredients very fresh and the sandwich very well filled. We followed this with Lemon Drizzle Cake which, again, was very fresh and moist.My wife's coffee (latte) was fine.Highly recommended.

I went for lunch with a blind lady and her guide dog. The food was hot and tasty and the hot chocolate was perfect after a walk in the wind. The service was friendly and the layout was good to enable the guide dog to rest under the table away from other customers. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed.

nice people, good service but coffee was expensive and like hot water, it was very nice and clean inside

Lovely little cafe serving gorgeous coffee, nice selection of food, with pleasant friendly staff. and great seating areas, a sofa or a window seat to watch the wordl go by.

Always go in here with my wife, excellent atmosphere, brilliant coffee, toasties delicious,all food is fresh! Staff are chatty and freindly! Family run! Thanks girls! U always make us feel.welcome! The cheeky mancunian☺xx

Great coffee house with a good selection of drinks for non-coffee drinkers and lovely cake. Friendly staff, children are welcome and we will definitely return!

Friendly and helpful and a fairly interesting menu and slightly different cakes. Probably the best in Redruth and worth a visit if you are there.

Warm welcome, great food and best coffee in town. The owner and all staff are all very friendly and I completely recommend a visit.

The staff were pleasant and the food was good but if you're going to call yourself a coffee house you need to know how to make good coffee. I enjoy my coffee and having lived in Spain for 10 years was pleasantly surprised at how good uk coffee is these days. However, this coffee shop served just about the worst cup of Americano I have ever had. I didn't complain I just left it. The baristas need some training

We visit Hatters every week and wouldn't do that if it wasn't good. The homemade cakes are delicious. And the BLT sandwiches are the best we have had. All good quality produce. The staff are all friendly and very welcoming. It has a lovely atmosphere. The service , food and cleanliness of Hatters is first class. Well worth a visit or two!

I went there with a blind lady and her guide dog and they have been several times in the past. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food (we both had toasties) were lovely. They have a good selection of snack lunches and can change contents on the sandwiches depending on what the customer wants. A great place to sit and chill out!

Hatters is my favourite place to visit when I'm in Redruth.Excellent service,friendly staff and great food!Very child friendly and the best coffee.

Have been a regular for a year or so. The team are always quick to take orders and help, it's a good place for some quiet time, papers are laid out if u fancy a read. Shame no wifi as the phone signal is there is no good. There again guaranteed no distractions! The older staff seem more friendly to me, I suppose younger girls are more shy. I only mention this as a friend said she prefers boesties cafe as it's more friendly and chatty.

Part of a regular routine most Saturdays, shopping, library, running round here & there, and then into Hatters for a large latte to relax and slow down before starting all over again.Quick friendly service, nice surroundings and attention to details, food I'd recommend to anyone, and a convenient location. 10/10

Not the best selection of food but the meal that I had was very well cooked and tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. A little quiet but a lovely atmosphere. Service was quite quick. A bit pricey for me but as a treat I'd be very happy to return.

Had a lovely sandwich and cake in here today with my husband. Lovely coffee shop and great service. Unfortunately we are going back home at the end of the week but we will definitely be back next time we're in Cornwall.

After reading the reviews I was very disappointed with the service , the choice of food aIt was not busy but took ages to get the drinks and food.Furniture looks very datedSorry but won't go again

Popped in for coffee on Murdoch Day. Cheerful, helpful service and the menus looked great. Our first visit will be one of many.

This is relatively new to Redruth, but they are always busy, excellent food, lovely and clean. Centrall located.

The best coffee shop for miles. always a happy service and great coffee and home made cake. You will not be disappointed with a visit to hatter's coffee house. disabled and child friendly...

Stopped for a cuppa and a cake with my better half. What a lovely suprise. Great coffee, lovely cakes. Newspapers to read. Clean and comfy. A great place to relax.

The coffee is spot on every time I visit. If you want good food, good atmosphere and attentive staff then give this place a try. I have been going since it opened and the quality has never changed! Wonderful addition to Redruth!

First Time here.....Really Impressed,had a Cappuccino and toasted Sandwich,both excellent!! Really friendly Coffee House and will definitely go again ;-)

Lovely people, lovely menu, lovely place and lovely service. Can't fault it. I've been going once or twice a month for the last year or so now, since they opened.The menu is varied and everything is made fresh to order. The cakes are delicious too.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Delicious cakes. Excellent, fast service. Always busy. Would recommend to anyone.

I have used several "in town" coffee and snack bars over the last few years during lunch breaks and occasionally for a business meeting. Since opening "Hatters" has become my firm favourite and the menu is quite extensive. If your in time then the home made soup is recommended. ( I think it is a popular choice?). My wife has a dairy and gluten free diet and this is also covered in menu choices. Lovely and attentive staff.

Have been here twice in the past week and look forward to returning! The 'Coffee House' is well decorated, clean, tidy and has a great atmosphere. The staff are extremely helpful and cheerful and genuinely appear grateful of your custom. The food is healthy, fresh, modern and well presented and likewise it is is very child friendly. On both occasions I arrived with children, scooters and bags in tow and nothing was too much trouble.

Hatters Coffee house is one of the best places i have eaten in for a long time. The location is fantastic, and by far the nicest eating establishment in Redruth and locally. What makes this coffee house a real gem, is the friendly welcoming staff that greet you. The extensive lunch menu - sandwiches, panninis, salads and a very scrumptious selection of cakes.The coffee is great, but Hatters also offer a nice tea and cold drink selection for all those non- coffee drinkers out there. Me & my 2 year old are regular Hatter visitors , the coffee house is really child friendly, yet the perfect setting for coffee with a friend or business lunch. Hatters also offer gluten free options which is a real plus!! The carrot cake is worth the trip alone.Well Done Team Hatters!

Could not fault this place, the staff was excellent and attentive, The panini's we had were delicious (Cornish Brie, bacon and cranberry) and the coffee was the best I have tasted. Will be back again.

We popped into Hatters for elevenses during our recent visit to Redruth. What a pleasure to see thriving independent shops on the high street, & not the same faceless high street brands which seem to populate our towns. The coffee shop is cosy & the staff were friendly. The coffee was very good, but I thought the cake was a little dry. However, overall this didn't spoil our visit, & I would recommend.

We love coming to Hatters, with friendly staff and a lovely family friendly atmosphere it really is the best place for a coffee and cake or a delicious lunch in Redruth.The cakes and selection of food available is fantastic and the coffee really can't be beaten! Please keep doing what you're doing because it's fab!

This is such a lovely coffee House, the staff are always friendly, the food is lovely, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Reasonably priced too, it's our favourite place to go!

Hatters has accomodated a group of 9 on a weekly basis for our community project meetings. We have always enjoyed great service, friendly staff and a warm welcome, with a lovely atmosphere where everyone feels relaxed and comfortable. Great value for excellent food and drinks, with a range of home made sweet and savoury options and soups. Last Saturday, when we booked for lunch during a community street theatre performance, June and her team served 25 people in under an hour. Our cold, hungry performers were transformed into happy, satisfied customers!We appreciate Hatters support of the local community and highly recommend you visit. The interior has many beautiful original features and the decor celebrates the history of the area - well worth a trip down memory lane, to a time when going to a cafe was a real treat.

With a retro look, pleasant staff and good value food this is a coffee shop to visit when you are next in Redruth. Lush cakes at affordable prices and a welcoming atmosphere. Make 'Hatters' a destination stop!

This is a really great place to go if you want just a cup of something or for lunch. We've always had a very warm welcome and the food's really good and reasonably priced. There's always an interesting soup on offer and the sandwiches/paninis are freshly made and delicious. Comfortable seating, especially the sofa at the back which is really cosy. Would highly recommend a visit.
