Haven Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Friendly pleasent staff and a breakfast that almost beat me! Nice and relaxed and next to the beach.

We saw they served Creme tea and decided to order one since we so enjoyed one at the Rectory in Morwenstow. But alas, it was very different! Very! Still tasty, but not the "real thing". Service was good and the view is great!

We started going to this cafe as the one opposite ran out of coffee ???

For a holiday beach side busy cafe its great to witness such great friendly service. The food is fab with a heartwarming selection food to revive you post surf or time on the beach or just to relax and enjoy an ice cream and watch the world go by. Great coffee too!

We often take a drive up to Crackington for a walk on the beach and lunch in the Haven cafe. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the food always fresh and good value. We love our visits here and would thoroughly recommend.

Best burger I've ever had, lovely people (Andrea and Co, great service, 10/10 on making you welcome 10/10

Haven Cafe offers a friendly welcome and freshly prepared food with unprecedented views of this lovely cove.The cafe's coffee and tea are as good as its quality food, though it is quite pricey especially if you're feeding a family whilst on holiday. (£8.95 for a crab sandwich is the most we've paid for similar fresh produce anywhere in the UK.)n.b. Public parking is close by though there's no on-site toilet facilities so you have to use the community-maintained public ones across the road.Nevertheless, the Haven Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

Recently stopped in at Haven Cafe for a quick drink, but decided to eat after seeing some of the delicious crab sandwiches on offer. Lovely place to sit outside and see the great views of the beach. No hesitation to recommend this cafe.

Lovely tea & cakes, friendly staff & good service. Drinks & food brought to your table. What more do you need.

Called in for a coffee and cake and not disappointed. Warm welcome and time to browse the lovely cakes on display and covered a bug bear of mine when not covered I will not purchase. Order taken and brought to you we sat outside only down fall could not see the sea. Cake was delicious and a nice pot of tea.

Crab sandwiches are wonderful and come with such an interesting salad, so much choice and the staff are so very helpful!

Comfortable chairs, sparkling clean crockery & a large pot of tea, what more could you ask for? The food looked nice, but we didn't eat here. The café is beside the car park and just across the road from the little rocky beach which nestles between the cliffs in a little cove.

Absolutely lovely cafe. Great food, cakes and very friendly staff. The cafe looks very nuce and wonderfully decorated inside.

Decided to grab a cuppa and a sandwich after walking around the costal path.. glad we did, crab sandwich was delicious and so fresh served with a little side salad. It's not cheap but it was lovely. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding and the gleaming sunshine. Certainly enjoyed the visit.

Stopped in for a coffee on a breezy day, was nice and had good decor. My husband had a big chunk of bread pudding which he said was lovely. Little bit pricey £9+ for a crab sandwich.

We had the home made soup and a bread roll which was fantastic. Lovely people, would definitely recommend.

After a wet beach walk what a way to have a snack Very good cakes, well presented filled rolls Homemade hearty soups and very good coffee, I had to refill my frothy coffee levelsWould recommend , even a quick witty chat with a ageing local farmer added to the family informal charm

Stopped in today and had a bowl of delicious curried parsnip soup with a gluten free roll. The bread was to die for... warm, crispy and probably the best I have had in a long time. Warm welcome, excellent service and they made a fuss of the dog. . . All this whilst sitting outside (in February) in the sun enjoying the beautiful views. Highly recommended.

Fab crab sandwiches for lunch , we live nearby and every now and again we treat ourselves to there lovely fresh crab lunch and pot of tea which is great ...

Lovely food. Crab sandwiches to chicken and sweetcorn chowder, something always different in the board. Lovely Service.

We stayed in a cottage in Crackington for a week over the new year period. Every day we came here because they do really good food and drinks at reasonable prices and even better, the staff are friendly. All chatty and more than happy to help out where they can and give advice on places to visit locally. Also dog friendly which is a bonus. All in all a very nice place.

Delicious, fresh lovely food - great crab sandwiches served with a tasty and hearty salad, beautiful cream tea and a good selection of coffees and teas. All served just by the beach in a cute little village of Crackington Haven. What else can one want in life!

Before commenting on the Haven, you have to acknowledge that this is a lovely spot. Rugged coastline, spectacular views, challenging walks. Not overly popular even in high season as access to low tide sand is across tricky marbled, black and white boulders, so whilst it may be a good choice for families with younger children, it may not be their first choice on this coastline, as it takes a bit more effort to utilise the location.There are lovely cliff walks to the west, rewarded by classic north Devon cliff top views, and to the east a walk up to the cliff top overlooking the bay.Facilities consist of two cafes and a pub, and although we have used both cafes, and they are both excellent, we prefer the Haven as we visit all year round and as well as the outside tables, they have a larger internal eating area on days with wet and cold weather. Both though are spectacular in good weather.There is a good sized car park between both cafes. The only toilets for both cafes is a utilitarian block across the road, but it is perfectly serviceable. We have taken our visitors here and never had a meal that was not preceded with the word "Wow" as you order from the menu something that appears straight forward and it arrives with a mixed salad, bean salad, coleslaw, mushroom ratatouille, and more and leaves you regretting the fact that you had a good breakfastYou wonder how many crabs perished to make the crab sandwich as it is stuffed full with brown and white crab meat and is absolutely delicious. Home made pies and pasties are featured on the blackboard but they can run out over lunchtime so if you go on an afternoon they may be sold out.For younger visitors, and those young at heart they have a separate ice cream shop adjoining, as well as beach toys, balls, bucket and spades etc, and some gift items.For a day out Crackington Haven is a lovely spot to stop on a tour from Bude, Widemouth Bay, coast road to Crackington and on to Boscastle and Tintagel but after Widemouth Bay these are really restricted width roads and in high season, be prepared for lots of stopping and pulling into passing places, but don't miss out on it as it is certainly very special

Great find, one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a while. Crab sandwiches were excellent and well presented with a side salad. Very polite and friendly staff.

A smashing cafe serving local food from about 11am onwards. We always head for the comfy sofa inside. Smashing decor, seating outside too. Recommend the bacon baps or the ham, egg & chips.

Lovely rare authentic cafe on the beach. Fresh local crab sandwiches and delicious millionaires short bread to die for A must stop if you are in North Cornwall, open all year.

Stopped for lunch after a good movie rings walk . Cornish pasty was fabulous and the cream tea a perfect treat - couldn't have wished for better

Came in to escape the rain! Everyone very friendly and happy to chat (I was in solo)Decent coffee (I'm fussy) and best lemon drizzle I've ever tasted - very generous slice too. Owner and staff alike all friendly - lots of other good looking food on the menu- wished I hadn't already had lunch.

We stopped in on whilst walking the coast path and weren't disappointed. Generous portions of tasty cakes and refreshing drinks. Would recommend.

What a gem of a place. Lovely scenery and a traditional Cornish cream tea well presented and very tasty in a welcoming environment. Well done to all at the Haven.

Good café but wish the shop was more interesting not much in it really - it used to have lots of fun bits and pieces but pretty empty now

We had lunch here and actually impressed with the food quality given its a cafe by the sea. I had a traditional cornish pasty and was probably one of the best ones i had whilst in cornwall. The staff were friendly on every visit as we went there a few times. The ice cream was also good, cornish local make.

This cafe is really, really lovely - warm and friendly staff, lovely hot and cold drinks, beautiful cakes, amazing lunches (melted Cornish yarg with super salad is incredible) and the atmosphere both inside and out is so relaxed you could stay for hours. Our dog felt really at home here and happily slept under the table each time we visited. A great cafe!

I always make a point of eating here every time I'm in Crackington Haven. Good choice of food and always of high quality. Great beach for the dogs out of season. Good outside and inside seating, big car park and just an overall lovely Cornish spot. Just wish the councils would see sense and open the beaches to dogs from 8pm to 8am in season.

We stopped here for a light lunch and had hot soup, one slightly curried vegetable and the other a pea soup. It came with fresh bread. We also had hot drinks and enjoyed the outside ambience. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Stopped here on our "coastal" route home. Lovely views and superb Crab Sandwiches. Highly recommended!!!

Lovely little cafe by small cove.We stopped to walk the dog on the beach and for a coffee break. Delicious coffee and pasty. Staff very helpful and friendly.

I come here whenever I am in Bude. Lovely place, friendly owners and staff and great food.Homemade pasties straight from the oven, great salads, sandwiches cakes & coffee. Blankets to sit outside, fire pit and papers and magazines. Stop here.

Try the fresh crab sandwiches, wonderful! Very friendly and excellent service open even New Years Day

Beachside cafe serving snacks and lunches. Delicious latte and friendly service. A welcome escape from the elements!

It was a cold drizzly day but we had an extremely warm and friendly greeting from the staff. It was quiet but still had a lovely festival atmosphere. We had a warm light lunch which was presented lovely, was tasty and certainly hit the spot.

Found this place couple years ago by chance, still as moorish as before. The crab sandwiches are to die for !! Well worth a visit & scenery is cracking too !!

I like it here, its calm and trendy and the sandwiches are gorgeous. Nice tea and coffee too. Lovely location, tables outside, nice big car park

For what it is it is fine and good: cup of tea, sandwich, toasted sandwich. Nice setting friendly staff, clean. Few vegetarian options limited gluten free, no loo.

We stopped in here for lunch after a wet & windy walk on the beach. We were welcomed straight away, myself, my husband, two children and our dog. We had lovely hot chocolates to warm us up and a selection of toasted sandwiches. I wouldn't normally write a review, but was shocked to see other reviews saying that staff were rude. Both ladies there spoke to us all and couldn't have been any more friendly and welcoming. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

A great place to while away some time in a beautiful location - great to be able to sit outside in the sun.Visited twice and was not disappointed on either occasion. Surprised to see other reviews mentioning unfriendly service - on the two occasions the lady who served me (who I think was one half of the owning couple) was friendly and welcoming.They are fine with dogs, it seems very popular with walkers too.A good selection on the menu, as well as specials and a fair amount of people there even in October (the weather was beautiful).A stone's throw from a wonderful beach, what more can you ask for?A special mention to the tomato and peanut soup, and the prawn sandwich which came with a delicious and inventive salad garnish - yum!

I never use trip advisor but clearly time to start. Coffee was lovely but the people were miserable. One of them nearly cracked a smile but I imagine it was in actual fact wind. Shame but I will give it one more go because it could have been just a bad day and we all have them. The cafe hasn't got a warm atmosphere which is a shame.

Fresh brown bread and butter around a thick wodge of brown and white crabmeat....about as good as it gets! And the sandwich was accompanied by a selection of imaginative salad garnishes. The coffee was well made and served with a lovely biscotti. Service was very quick and friendly. Just what a beach side cafe should be!

Went to CH on a blustery day and Haven Cafe was a welcome shelter after a few hours on the beach. Plenty of tables inside and out and a good selection of drinks and food. We only had ice creams and cakes. Very good! Service was friendly and cakes were excellent!

Lovely little cafe which is very welcome after walking along the costal path. We had a great mixture of food here smoked mackerel pate, crab sandwiches, tuna roll, vegetables and goats cheese - all served quickly and with a smile. The only disappointment was there were no pasties availableWill certainly be back again

Fabulous homemade cakes are served with cold coffee by rude staff who really do not want you there! Great location, but unless you go for the cakes walk across the road and try the other café.

Lots of food to choose from. Pizzas are great. Ok it's not cheap, but then there is only one other option so understandably they have a captive audience.Last year we had great service. This year I feel the only thing that let the place down today was the lady behind the counter. She was very abrupt and came across as if she was annoyed especially as she could see more customers coming. Puts a huge downer on a place. Service is just as important as the actual food!

Always go here for great ice creams and cream teas, friendly staff, lovely location. Good for buying souvenirs too. Will return next year!

fantastic setting with great views the food was very tasty and fresh service quick and very friendly highly recommend

Great service, great food and fabulous location. We were met with a smile and the order was delivered very quickly and of very generous proportion. They also have a great little gift shop that offers local fudge and cookies etc. There is a takeaway option as well which may suit those wanting to make their way to the beach.

We paid our first ever visit to Crackington Haven this week, a tiny little village with a gorgeous beach in north Cornwall. It was late on a lovely sunny day, so we sat on the outside tables of the Haven Cafe and had a cream tea.The cream tea was lovely, and the cafe has a great location near the little beach, so you can sit and look out at the sea while you eat and drink. The cafe also serves excellent home made flapjacks (including one of my personal faves - with jam in the middle and a yoghurt topping).The service was very friendly, and the Haven cafe is well worth a stop if you are either visiting or passing through this lovely village. The cafe is also right next to the car park, so is very easly to visit.

If you want to look out to the sea and enjoy a fresh drink and a yummy tasting cake. Choose this little cafe. It also has a little shop next door to it. It's a beautiful place to spend a warm afternoon.

we stopped here and had a lovely crab sandwich with a tasty salad.its a lovely place with nice staff.we found it expensive but could not fault the food and cosy feel of the place

Really nice cozy caf at the bottom of crackington haven. Very friendly proprietors and a nice selection of simple yet interesting cafe options. Ciabatta with grilled veggies and goat cheese. Special touch was the side salad had a few lovely salad types like beetroot and three bean and coleslaw. Very tasty toasted ham and cheese. Everything was nice and served quickly. Will definitely stop by next time we visit!

Stopped here for a crab sandwich recently.Very tasty.Hot apple drink very yummyTad expensive as you have to pay extra for fries on side.Serving local potato crisps with the sandwich is an idea worth exploring.Great location mind you.Will return

Blow the cobwebs away with a stroll on the beach and then dive in or sit outside the Haven for warm scones and tea or coffee. They are served with jam and clotted cream. The scones and cream are delicious shame about the jelly jam which is tasteless. There is a lady who makes the most fabulous jam locally for charity, they could support the charity and increase the pleasure of their scones.

Located in one of our favourite locations this unassuming cafe is a delight to visit. Always a warm welcome and the cuisine offered never disappoints. There is nothing like the bacon rolls and fresh coffee on a crisp morning summer or winter. Parking is adequate with the pay and display opposite. Always clean with internal and al fresco dining with a delicious view of the Atlantic available.

I had a brie and bacon roll. The bacon was crispy, the roll was hot. It was amazing. A definite revisit. Fantastic cafe.

Lovely café, good food, friendly staff and lovely place to sit and look at the sea over a cup of tea.

We stopped here for lunch today when walking along the SWCP from Bude to Boscastle. We both chose the crab sandwich served with their own haven salad & a side of chips. All very tasty & just what was needed after 10 miles walking.

Crackington Haven is one of my favourite spots and the Haven Cafe is the better of the two restaurants here. A great selection of sandwiches and hot food all served beautifully. Staff are very friendly too.

Staying in the village for our holiday, so ventured down the hill to explore. Cafe situated in a lovely spot, over the road from the little beach. Enjoyed Kelly's cornish ice cream (we'll never have another Mr Whippy), and treated ourselves to a cream tea - lovely!They also had a good selection of savoury snacks on the menu, and nice looking cakes on display.

This is a lovely café opposite the beach. We visited just for tea and cakes which were all superb. Lovely décor and very clean. Great find.

We picked up some pasties here for our lunch enroute on the SWCP - probably the best pasties we had on our trip. Very nice woman working behind the counter - I wish we'd been there at the right time to stop for lunch :)

Stopped there for lunch. Would definitely recommend the crab sandwiches.Tea for 2 came in a nice big pot, and the kids loved the ice cream. (they do the Cornish whippy ice cream here too!

The first dry sunny sunday of 2014 and couldnt you tell!!!Again as for most of my reviews this was just a coffee stop whilst out on the bike but i did take a look at the menu and the assortment of cakes and if time hadnt of been getting on we might of sampledThey had obviousely had a very busy lunch time as the propriortor i assume was washing cups as she went to help the girl at the counter who seemed alittle overwhelmed and id been told the washer upper had gone aS it was quiet earlier...i just dont think they could have forseen how busy they were gonna be,its a shame as i think some were put off by what was going to be a long wait for meals or drinks i was not the only one who wanted to dig in a give a hand with the washing up!!!This said to ease the situation i was happy to have my coffee take away and sit outside and to be fair it was a nice cup of coffee reasonabley pricedI am sure that this was just a one off and the team were caught on the hop and it wont take alot to get back into the swing.Should we pass through again i would happily stop off here again.

We stopped into Haven Café after being rained off a wander on the beach during half-term. The inside of the café is really bright with a lovely beachy feel. The staff were really friendly and we were able to bring our well behaved dog along which was a bonus!We had cream teas and cakes and all were of an excellent standard. We also saw BLT's and toasties coming out of the kitchen, all freshly made to order and all looked delicious.Plenty of outside seating for when the weather is better!Cant wait to come back. Highly recommended.

The Haven Café in Crackington Haven, although small is a great little café right on the beach by the car park. They are dog friendly which meant after a walk this was a great place to rest up with a great cup of coffee and a snack. Clean and welcoming with friendly and helpful staff.

The Haven Café is like a little gourmet eatery at the seaside - really chic décor, like a funky beach hut. Fantastic selection of lunch bites and cakes to indulge yourself, massive portions though so beware - you may have to share! (fortunately we spotted food being delivered to another table so adjusted our order accordingly!!) Excellent value for money. What a lovely little find, especially on a blustery autumnal day!

After a blustery wet walk on the cliff tops this was a welcome respite. Cornish pasty, crab sandwich and finally a cream tea. A real treat.

Came in here to escape the beating sunshine as the family swam in the sea nearby. Ordered a bacon sandwich for which the server was very apologetic when it arrived, as it was a roll rather than sliced bread. She needn't have worried, that was probably the nicest bacon roll I've ever had! Also ordered a bowl of chips and a pot of tea. All very polished and very nice indeed. Sat and read the cafe paper, drank tea in a very relaxed and spotlessly clean in this well appointed seaside cafe. What's not to like?Prices are not cheap, a shade over £4 for a bacon roll but it was very generous portion and came with a little salad. It's very much a seasonal place perched by a remote beach in the middle of nowhere, and on balance it was a good experience I'd happily repeat. Well recommended.

A brilliant spot right on the beach. Outdoor seating for when the sun is shining and tastefully decorated inside for when it's too hot!!Very clean. Great menu. Love the coffee and recommend the crab sandwich. Child and dog friendly.Brilliant Cornish ice creams sold next door in the attached shop.Highly recommend it as part of a day out at Crackington Haven.

The outside looked a little nondescript, and perhaps the sort of place where fish paste sandwiches were served with Vimto on an oilcloth table.Instead it was a beautifully decorated cafe with a super menu, all fresh with ridiculously huge and tasty portions. Dog friendly and lovely decor. A model of what a tourist attraction should be.

Perfectly placed for walkers on the coastal path or people driving down the coast, this cafe offers great snacks for hungry walkers. Their speciality crab sandwiches are a great example of good local food. Don't miss it!

Don't drive past - plenty of parking. A little gem in the centre of Crackington Haven. Excellent food (crab sandwich to die for!), friendly service from owners, lovely atmosphere. Outside tables for when the sun shines! Views of the cliffs and beach. Brilliant.
