Haven Cafe. Crackington Haven nr Bude Cornwall in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Our family met up here for a coffee before spending some time together on the beach. The lovely lady that served us couldn't do enough for us. Very friendly and a speedy service in a great little cafe

One the best cafés I have been to, freshly prepared meals that are superbly presented and taste delicious. The Smoked Mackerel pate is phenomenal and the side salad is a work of art. Honestly just go there, great friendly helpful service.

Lovely warm welcome, the most delicious crab sandwich and cup of tea! Can highly recomend, we loved it 🙂

Crackington Haven was recommended by a friend as a place to visit. They didn’t tell us about the little gem that is haven cafe. The food is absolutely delicious and freshly made. The bacon roll with or without Brie is outstanding. A little pricey but in our book you gets what you pay for. The tea and coffee are as good as you will get anywhere and the bread pudding is the best thing you’ll taste on your holiday ( order it while it’s warm - amazing). The staff were very friendly and polite.

Owner is the most rude & aggressive woman that I have ever met. Didn’t deserve our custom. Would not recommend !

Right next to the beach, great place for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and cake. The food was fresh and the staff were lovely. The village car park is just outside the cafe and parking options range from 1 hour to all day(£5). There are walks from the car park, so we followed @ circular walk in St Gennys with lunch. Great little find and great views from the cliffs.

Had lunch here 17/6/23 we had visited 3 yes ago & I remember the beautiful crab sandwich so was on my bucket list to return on our final visit to Cornwall. Well was not disappointed lovely friendly welcome ordered drinks sat outside to digest menu no need as both knew crab sandwich. It was beautiful presented on a plated shaped as a fish. So much selection of different salads but just small portions. Sandwich freshly made & full of crab. This is lovely clean cafe with welcoming staff a pleasure to have found it.

We had a crab sandwich and a pasty - both delicious. Great service and a lovely, clean environment. Lovely selection of cakes and also seating outside.

What an amazing little cafe. The staff were amazing and so accommodating for us and our charity event. Delicious cakes, great chips. All the food looked and smelt amazing.

This lovely café at Crackington Haven serves the most delicious lunches. We visited in July whilst on holiday and had the steak pasties. They were so good we returned in September with another couple whilst staying nearby but sadly the pasties were all sold out. This time we had ciabattas and cream teas which were equally good. We'll be back in 2023!

This cafe is a hidden gem, with sea views, clean, comfortable interior and chatty friendly staff. All the usual cafe favourites were on on the menu along with daily homemade specials. We had Pulled pork and coleslaw ciabatta and a steak pasty. Both were excellent. Plus a take away cake! Our little dog was welcome inside too which was nice.

Wonderful food, beautiful location and staff were amazing so helpful. Just love this gem and love taking family and fiends there we will be back soon.

Popped in for a coffee but after seeing the food being served decided to stay for lunch! Delicious freshly prepared food. Great service, very friendly staff. Will definitely return

owner is miserable feels as though everything is too much trouble perhaps she should think about retiring or handing over to someone with more hospitality, a prime location where at height of season you'd think be open from dawn to dusk, won't use again a much better reception opposite

Walking the SWCP and stumbled on this gem. Fantastic service with Salads so good we actually returned the next day to have again. Salad raised to an art form...just beautiful and as yummy as it looks.

We visited Crackington Haven and stopped at the Haven Cafe for a morning cup of tea and cappuccino. Very polite staff, quick service and an enjoyable tea and coffee.

I haven’t been bothered to write reviews for a long time now, but I simply had to review the Haven cafe. The food was incredible - my partner had the crab sandwich and I had the mackerel pate dish. We tried each others food and...

The Haven Cafe is the jewel in the Cornish cafe crown! The food is magnificent, from the sumptuous Crab Sandwich to the voluminous Bacon & Brie ciabatta . Every inch freshly prepared with quality ingredients used throughout . This was the best food we have...

We arrived just shy of closing time on a Sunday afternoon but this beautiful little cafe still had some beautiful fresh baked, warm scones available! It was by far the best cream tea I've ever had! Highly recommend popping in if you are in Crackington...

We arrived soon after 9am as this was when it was advertised as open. I went in to check if they were open and was given a grumpy reply. Tables still had chairs stacked on top and they were obviously not ready for customers. My...

The best meal I had on the whole of the SWCP!!! Mackerel Pate with ‘Haven Salad’ - the most amazing salad and then the lightest scone ever to finish. You can tell the ladies there love their cafe and take pride in their food. It...

After a walk with the dog popped in for tea. Very friendly staff. Great cream tea with melt in your mouth scones, plenty of jam and cream.

Absolutely delicious lunch. Pulled pork bap as good as we make at home and very good value for money. Great chips. Nice selection of soft drinks. Famous crab sandwich delicious. Both served with a lovely side salad - the best ever with some different ingredients...

Popped in after a wander along the beach, small menu but coffee and cake was good. Very friendly chatty staff, especially the lady with the cockerpoo. Very dog friendly, nice place for a rest on the outside terrace

Unwelcoming and unfriendly. Empty. Very Covid safe, but the staff were stern and dour. The first words uttered were ‘is the gentleman putting his mask on?’ Rather than ‘hello’. My husband was outside the door and was putting a mask on! They did not tell...

Weren’t allowed to enter due to not wearing a mask. Mask exemption was not valid and very rude owner. I’m happy I saved my money and took it somewhere they actually wanted my custom.

Stunning location, friendly staff, delicious cream tea. Warm scones with plenty of clothes cream and tasty jam all served with a vast teapot full of hot tea! Very welcome after a long walk. Absolutely spotless. Well worth a pit stop...

We've been going to this cafe for almost 40 years. Absolutely love it. But unfortunately today we went and I felt very disappointed. We got our normal ice cream to find they have halved in size and cost the same. The waffle cornet has also...

We spent our last day here. We found a lovely place to sit outside and basically set up camp for a few hours. The staff were amazing .My elderly parents got to sit and watch the world go by, my children got to go swimming...

This cafe is set in a beautiful location on the north Cornish coast and is spotlessly clean. I am a fan of hot roast beef sandwiches and will always order one if on the menu. Unfortunately, they never live up to my expectations, my search...

Fantastic food fantastic staff what’s more can I say other than you are spoilt for choice here but if you want a lovely lunch you will not be disappointed

Firstly Cracklington Haven is a great little bay with a small car park. The cafe was perfect for what we were looking for (lunchtime snacks) particularly the pastie. Great little connected shop next door which had a few things to purchase including ice creams.

Lovely cafe. The nice ladies in here got us out of a scrape as we didnt have change for the car park. We were able to buy a couple of vegan pasties and get cashback. The pasties were lovely. Came back after a few hours...

We had a super meal today. The best crab sandwich ever. The accompanying salad was almost too good to eat. I would highly recommend this cafe for lunches. Also bought some gifts and handmade cards.

The Trip Advisor reviews encouraged us to seek out the Haven Cafe and we are very pleased we did! Everthing about this cafe was first class: the cleanliness, the friendly staff, the freshness and range of the food available. Our friends and myself all thoroughly...

We popped into the Haven Cafe for lunch having read recent good reviews. We were not disappointed. The menu offered a good selection of food. The quality of the food was exceptional and the portion sizes generous without being too much. I had the Pulled...

Lovely crab sandwiches with a delicious salad after a circular walk from crackington haven . Nice decaf latte too ! Friendly and efficient staff , very Covid safe

We came across this by chance on a previous visit and said we would come back. Which we did now. They have screens up in between the tables, which has reduced the seating area inside. They gave us a table in front of an open...

Had stopped for coffee a couple of mornings and decided to have lunch there on our last day. It was lovely - I had a simple ham roll, but it was served in a warm ciabatta roll which really took it up a notch. My...

Perfect spot for lunch. The proprietor was really friendly and welcoming (and so accommodating of our dietary requests which was hugely appreciated). Lovely crab salad and a ham and cheese roll - generous portions and very reasonable. Excellent views too

Small cafe in carpark - one of two. Nothing here really as it's an isolated spot with a scenic cobble beach on the South Coast path. Nice pot of tea and fabulous bread pudding (served hot) at reasonable price

Stopped here for a welcome lunch after a jaunt up the coast path from Widemouth Bay. Had a nice family run feel about it, lovely spot to sit outside as weather was great. Very friendly service and nice homemade-tasting fare. Recommended.

Great little cafe for a stop off in between walking or going to the beach, we enjoyed tea and a toasted tea cake served by friendly ladies, perfect place when the sun is out.

Love little spot. Service was great and very friendly, cafe is setup well in these strange times, sanitizer available and plastic screens between tables. The food was great and very good portions. My wife had mackerel pate which she enjoyed. I had lovely crab sandwich,...

Bigger and better than it looks on the outside! I wish we’d gone more often. Obviously it’s in a fantastic location by the beach. Tables well spaced out with large but discreet clear plastic panels between tables, hand sanitiser available. Good menus and friendly service....

We originally went into the cabin opposite. However, we weren’t greeted and didn’t get amazing vibes in there. So we went across the road to Haven Cafe and we were SO GLAD that we did. First class customer service. Such lovely, kind and polite ladies....

Had a fantastic lunch at this lovely cafe. Staff were friendly and chatty, excellent Covid precautions with screens between every table. The food is fantastic, home cooked, generous portions and great quality. Can't remember when we last had a lunch this good. We will definitely...

My husband and I come here often for lunch. Highly recommended. Good food, good service. Very good Covid cleaning routine. I had the salmon & peashoot salad today which was exceptional. The presentation was beautiful too.

We called in during the pandemic for a cup of tea. Their covid protection measures were quite thorough and reassuring. We were served a very generous pot of tea: we didnt finish it which is almost unknown. Our cake (bread pudding) was a rather unusual...

We really enjoyed this cafe. Great location. Professionally run, great selection of food, clean and COVID aware. Do have the crab sandwiches if they are on the menu - fabulous. Accompanied by a great selection of tasty salads. Good coffee too.

After a great week in Devon we stumbled upon this lovely cafe. Over the week we ended up going from pub to cafe to pub to find anything gluten free that I could eat I was delighted there was so much choice, my partner who...

We stopped here for lunch, food and service was fantastic. Had Cornish pasties and a cream tea. Scones and pasties were delicious! And the setting by the beach is lovely.

Found this by accident whilst travelling around Cornwall. Meal itself was extremely good value for money, very tasty and very well presented with some unusual salad items which were delicious. My friend was so pleased with her meal also. Staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful....

Friendly little cafe with excellent service. Homemade cakes lovely, washed down with a huge pot of tea!

Had an excellent cream tea at the Haven. Delicious scone, beautifully presented with tea in a proper tea pot. Sat outside in the sun - bliss!

Lovely little café by the sea. Great tasting crab sandwich and beautiful mix salad. Very friendly staff

We visited this cafe at lunchtime. The weather was grey with some drizzle and we wanted to sit inside. The inside tables were taken so we agreed to sit outside for 10-15 mins. They brought us coffee and soon our table was ready. Inside the...

Revisited Crackington Haven after an 11 year absence. Ordered an afternoon tea for 1 and a crab sandwich . The scones were the best I’ve tasted. The crab sandwich was overfilled with white crab meat, and was accompanied by a beautiful fresh seasonal salad ....

We went for a walk in and around Crackington Haven and then stopped off here for a cream tea - wow! The best I’ve ever tasted! Warm, light, delicious, homemade scones with Cornish clotted cream and jam and a pot of tea. And the most...

A welcome pit stop on the SWCP! We had the melted goats cheese with roasted veg and sweet potato falafel salad, absolutely fab and great portion sizes!! Then followed this up with coffee and cake, equally excellent! Fuelled me for the next 6 miles on...

Visited last Wednesday, friendly welcome, tasty food, reasonable price, good covid protocol in place. Cafe was busy as it was a sunny day but food and drinks were served quickly.

Food was nice for a sandwich but expensive, however it did come with a nice salad. I can’t say it felt very welcoming but I think they were struggling with working within the Covid restrictions. Would definetly there over the other cafe across the car...

Lovely lunch. Crab sandwich was very fresh and came with a lovely salad and coleslaw. Delicious. Sausage bap and Cornish pasty went down well with the kids.

Popped in with the kids today, won’t be repeated. So un friendly. Average food overpriced and awful service. Home made Cornish pastie should be a treat, very underwhelming Took ages, then gave us the wrong drinks, then tried to take them to another table five...

Good value food and good portion sizes, would definitely recommend. We sat outside and had a toastie and sweet potato fries which were great.

Can't wait to be able to go back to Haven Cafe. Really missing the crab sandwich and the lovely salad, always lovely gluten free options too. Lovely, pretty cafe with lovely staff.

We always eat here when visiting family in Cornwall, simply the best. Owners, food amazing, comfortable seating, very clean, allow well behaved dogs. Pulled pork husbands favourite, Catalan Soup mine and Pasties too. The accompanying salad is amazing too, not the usual bits of rocket...

Wonderful handmade tasty food and reasonably priced. Friendly and helpful couple running it. Highly recommend this cafe.

Lovely little cafe, clean and tidy. Great menu for snacks, food lovely with good portions. Bacon and brie roll yummy. Home made cakes of which we took three slices away with us for later. Would definitely recommend, two ladies serving very welcoming.

Visited Crackington Haven for the first time yesterday after recommendation from a friend. After walking the dogs we were cold and wet so decided to go into the Haven Cafe which is right next to the car park. We, and the dogs, were made very...

This is our favorite beach cafe. Wonderful homemade food, very friendly service, dog friendly (Doris is made a fuss of!!) We hope to be back again next week

The location of the Haven Cafe is absolutely stunning, with dramatic cliffs, spiky rocks, and wild seas just metres away (but beyond a stone wall, so no pebbles or stones cast up from the waves). Met some friends here on a wild wet winter's day...

Stopped for coffee and a cake on our walk but the menu was more tempting. We had soup with lovely bread, a ciabatta sandwich and cake - it was all lovely and freshly produced. Vegans are well catered for. Very friendly place with a number...

Clean, good pasty and coffee with plenty of other choices. Great view in comfortable and pleasant room.

Lovely friendly waitress, who brought us the Catalan fish soup with a large warm bap. The soup was so tasty full of white fish and mussels, a good sized portion and very filling. We would certainly go there again.

A winters' day drive along the coast, the Haven Cafe looked good from the outside but inside it was even better. A friendly welcome, a good menu and the crab sandwiches were delicious. An excellent place to stop and the beach, just a opposite, is...

We love Haven Cafe. Greeted as if old friends. Friendly, comfortable cafe with delicious food. We usually call in when out walking, but today the weather was dire, but we decided to treat ourselves to lunch. Scrumptious beef and barley soup with a dumpling and...

We have visited The Haven every year for the last five years. Yet again today we had a wonderful lunch. The food is all fresh and homemade. Simply cannot fault this place, the food and service.

Fabulous warm friendly welcome and one of the best cream teas we've had, (and we're from Devon!) Scones as light as a feather and warm, with a lovely pot of tea. Superb.

I just had coffee, but the food being served looked very tasty. The staff were local and were able to help with some questions we had. Very dog-friendly.

Stopped here for lunch while on a coastal walk. Nice little cafe, friendly staff who kindly refilled our water bottles. Food was very nice, the crab sandwich was the nicest I’ve ever had, highly recommend the cafe and the crab sandwiches.

We visited The Haven for the first time this week. What a lovely welcome and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. We had the famous crab sandwich and a big chunk of homemade bread pudding. Both were perfect in every way. We will be...

Fantastic food, and the crab sandwiches eaten by people I was with said they were the best they’d ever had!

My partner sharron & myself were on holiday at the lovely rosecare again & of course we absolutely love Crackington Haven, We popped into the haven cafe & were made extremely welcome, we had a friendly chat & were guided through a lovely substantial menu,...

Went here today and what a lovely little place, the owners are wonderful people and the cakes are absolutely Devine. If you go to Crackington this place is an absolute must and by far the superior cafe in the cove itself . Well done haven...

I’ve eaten crab at some of the best seafood restaurants in London and abroad - the Haven Cafe makes the best sandwich I’ve had so far. The salad is also delicious and if you really want to treat yourself go swimming or surfing and come...

We started the morning here with just out of the oven warm scones with cream before tackling the Crackington Haven National Trust circular walk. On our return we had the crab sandwiches. We had a few crab sandwiches during our 2 weeks in Cornwall but...

We live local and called in one afternoon for a bite to eat. Very impressed by the quality of the food, cost and the friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

Delightful location in picturesque bay with car park next door. With a tasteful interior with some vintage surfing memorabilia and charming staff. A good selection of cakes and home made food is on offer. Many dishes are served with a generous salad garnish, I particularly...

A wee oasis after a long days walking up and down the hills. The crab sandwich was first class; moist and tasty with generous delicate filling of white and brown meat. The accompanying Haven salad exceeds expectation; lots of different little tasty salads ranging from...

Love the ciabatta rolls and I am addicted to the home-made bread pudding. Big choice of Ice-Cream flavours too. The cafe is open all year round, a suntrap in the summer and a welcome retreat when the weather is not so good.

The cafe has a great location right next to the beach and is family and dog friendly which is great as there is both indoor and outside seating. The menu is perfectly adequate with quite a few options such as crab sandwiches and a wide...

I absolutely love this cafe. We live closeby and whenever we make a walk we stop there and have a nice coffee, some cake or a sandwich. Lovely staff

Great cafe in a fantastic location, very friendly staff and great menu, fresh crab sandwiches were delicious as was the pastie

My husband and I visited this cafe and felt so welcomed by the lovely staff and had a wonderful conversation. The food was absolutely delicious, I had a cheese and ham toastie and he had a steak pasty.

Walked the coastal path and stopped for lunch here. Helpful friendly staff, dog friendly. Had local crab sandwiches,served with an excellent mixed salad with lots of different servings, homemade coleslaw, potato salad, green salad etc.. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and...

Lovely food, dog friendly and nice people. Food was well presented and not over priced. Would absolutely recommend the bread pudding and the tuna/cheese toastie. Well worth a visit

This place was such a wonderful find I returned the next day. More than your usual seaside caff this place is producing food of excellent quality. Some may feel the menu is bit pricey but when you analyse what you get, where they are (off...

We stopped briefly here and enjoyed delicious fare whilst enjoying fabulous views of the beach and cliffs surrounding us. The staff were friendly and the food excellent

First visit to Cornwall and my first taste of a true cornish pasty..my expectations were high and the place didn't disappoint.. lovely little cafe that catered well for our fussy children.. service was excellent and staff were lovely..value for money nice food and excellent surroundings..Perfect!
