Little Bo Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had a great bowl of soup and coupla cups of coffee. Great soup, charming service. And if you're some north-country moron who won't pay with a card but insists on cash I suggest you go quietly about your business without leaving a decent hand-working bunch a bad review on that basis alone.

We called in for a very light lunch which turned into a bit more. Between two of us we had a slice of Victoria sponge, a slice of walnut & apple cake, a cream tea & a pasty. We couldn’t decide so we ordered what we liked the look of. After all, we had walked nearly 9 miles on the coastal path. The Victoria sponge was perfect, for me. Not too sweet & just enough filling. The walnut & apple cake went down very well, as did the cream tea. The scone was excellent & not supermarket bought. The pasty was very tasty as well when I got around to eating it. Very nice staff helped make the visit enjoyable before we waddled out to continue our walk. (I took the pasty with me & ate it an hour later).

Great spot after walking costal path from lands end. Very welcoming and dog friendly, even gave him some sausage to eat while we had our tea and scone!

Wanted to stop In here after seeing the reviews on trip advisor! Forgot to mention they do not accept cash at all. Cannot comment on the coffee or food, when out walking with the family I take cash. It’s just not accepted, I get that it’s the shops choice but it’s a huge no from me

Popped in here today on a wet windy day. After driving from Porthcurno Beach Cafe, where we had just bought disappointing Cornish Pasties. Sennen Cove Cafe has a very welcoming atmosphere. Ordered 2 Steak Cornish pasties, full of meat and lovely pastry, washed down with a pint of Off Shore. Would definitely recommend!

Little cafe. Takes dogs. Friendly staff. Nice ambience. We had a pasty for lunch and a drink out of the wind so it was very welcome.

Lovely spot overlooking the cove, great service and a cream tea to die for, perfect, light scone with lashings of raspberry jam and clotted cream, everything you could ask for. BLT sandwich was good too according to my partner.

Stopped for lunch after walking to Lands End and back. Nice food and drinks, good service - and if the weather’s good you can sit at the outside tables by the sea and be served there. Recommended.

Excellent coffee. Nice selection of interesting very generous portion “snacks”. Sit in or at tables on the pavement with great sea views. Thoroughly enjoyed our several visits. They can be rather slow when it gets busy.

Now called Sennen Cove Cafe. Great find. We parked in Sennen, walked to Lands End and back. Sharps beers on tap and a 10/10 gem of a pasty made in house. Outside table with views over the beach and beyond. Great beer , great pasty, great views. It doesn’t get any better !

Such a lovely little cafe in Sennen cove, Lands end. There us an outside seating area overlooking the sea, which is beautiful and relaxing. The food was delicious and the staff were also very friendly. I'd definitely go back to this cafe for lunch in the future.

Now called Sennen Cove Cafe! We had a lovely toastie and halloumi wrap. They were well presented and reasonably priced. The service was friendly, and the view out front is lovely.

Lovely place with a good selection of items on the menu. We had the halloumi wraps that were soooooo tasty. Great there is beer and wine selection too. We were staying locally but only visited on our last day so missed out tasting other items. Hopefully next time we will be more successful.

I can’t speak highly enough of our experience today. The service, food & drink were all spot on. We have a child with certain intolerances and often it’s difficult to find somewhere that can accommodate him. However here, no issue at all. Considering how busy they were , our food & drink all came in good time. I’ve read a review about slow service & all I can say is ‘what do you expect’, this is a small family cafe on the sea front, not. 5 star restaurant. Next time we are in Sennan we will come back here & thoroughly recommend for other families

After a lovely walk to Nanjizal via Land’s End, and back, we popped in here for a coffee and some cake. We shared a pice of coffee and caramel cake, which was absolutely amazing!! We were lucky as it was the last piece of the day so it was an extra large slice. The coffee was very nice and the staff were friendly and attentive. Both of us thought that this was the best of the many cakes we tried during our holiday! Hope to be back one day…

We popped in here for a cuppa and a bite to eat to warm up after a blustery open top bus trip from St Ives. It’s a very cosy little cafe with friendly staff and a good selection of food - from cakes to sandwiches and also being licensed is a plus too! I visited with friends and amongst us we had paninis, a hot baguette and wraps. I had the prawn wrap and it was delicious with plump juicy king prawns and a lovely dressing, with a side of Offshore. The staff were lovely to chat to too. Highly recommend (although note that this is now called Sennen Cove Cafe)

We called for coffee at this seafront cafe & sat across the road at the tables overlooking the sea. The service was a bit slow, the staff member seemed new & inexperienced but was polite & friendly. The coffee was nice, very hot but nothing out of the ordinary. One negative was that the rubbish bin just inside the door of the cafe was filled to overflowing, literally piled high with paper cups & cans which didn’t create a great impression.

I've been here a few times - the food is generally really nice, and the portion size is really good. It's quite small, so may not be good if you're a big group, but worth a visit if you're in Sennen.

Popped in during October half term and had a takeaway - a delicious oat latte and flat white with a veggie sandwich! Service was friendly and both the coffee and food were very tasty!!

Cobs or cake it’s served with passion and friendliness abound. Love your food and coffee❤️ always consistent and served promptly

My husband and I stayed in the cove for a week in September and had our lunch sitting facing the sea. The team manage the Covid restrictions well, restricting access to the premises, taking your order and delivering to the table. Payment preferred by card which is not unusual or unexpected. Food: delicious and served quickly, pricing reasonable. Staff:really happy, friendly and efficient. Location: on the seafront facing the bay. Lovely food and spot to eat.

We stopped here for a quick lunch after visiting the Minack in the morning. You ordered inside but they had tables and chairs on the prom so you could sit and look out over the beach. Despite being October it wasn't cold. We both chose the toasted Yarg mushroom and red onion chutney sandwich with side salad. The sandwich was really tasty but I liked the fact the side salad was not the usual boring lettuce, cucumber and tomato type. There were little potatoes in a pesto-type dressing, couscous with chickpeas, red coleslaw, grated carrot and beetroot. Really nice. Staff all wore masks when they brought your meal out and were very friendly

A quick pit stop part way through our long coastal walk & what a pleasure. The selection of cakes was amazing it was hard to choose but we plumped for the cheesecake & vegan carrot cake both of which were delicious. Good coffee & hit chocolate with all the trimmings, great service with a cheery smile which is much appreciated & COVID secure. Highly recommend

We stopped for a mid afternoon bite, weather lovely with table against the sea railings. My wife ordered a snack for both of us with drinks. I except covid and a busy hot afternoon... but my plain cheese and ham sandwich took 40 mins to arrive. And when arrived, was average at best.I was beginning to ask myself" did i order it or not" and "what did i order ?"Totally hopeless. But tomorrow brings another load of tourists, who gives a fig !

We had lunch here whilst holidaying in Sennen. Best crab sandwich ever, beautiful crab meat with rocket, and very well seasoned. The Dahl with coriander naan was also delicious. They are doing take away service only which was well organised. Lovely.

Lovely food and they were more than happy to make a separate salad when I said I was vegan. Recommend a visit if you are on the beach.

The crab sandwich is absolutely to die for. We had to come back twice. They were not stingy on the crab. Could not recommend more highly

Delicious sandwiches eaten on the seafront due to Covid restrictions. Tasted really fresh and brought out to you to reduce social contact. Excellent.

We stopped here for breakfast just before we left Sennen Cove, I couldn't recommend them enough. Nice, simple food, all very reasonably priced. Great bunch of young guys working there, all really personable and friendly.

Stopped in this family run cafe, for a coffee and a snack, located on the seafront, very friendly atmosphere, and lovely food.

It was really hard to decide between all the delicious looking cakes. But we came and settled on sharing a crab sandwich and a cream tea. The crab sandwich was delicious! Lovely fresh bread and a fair amount of crab for the price. The scones were lovely, only maybe could’ve been nicer slightly warmed but the size and texture were just the trick. And plenty of cream and jam offered. I would definitely return if ever in the area again. Lovely spot.

We went in towards the end of the day and therefore limited on what we could eat. The lady serving was absolutely lovely but not sure it was the best cafe experience I have ever had. But I would definitely give it another try on my next visit and see what the cooked food is like

Lovely cosy interior, incredibly friendly staff and delicious, reasonably priced food. Absolutely loved it!

I’ve been to Little Bo’s several times over the last couple of years and have been in twice this week so felt I should really get on with writing a review! Always friendly, helpful, intuitive people hard at work in a small but very busy cafe. Delicious coffee, beautiful cakes and simple but scrumptious menu from home made soup or proper Cornish pasties to fresh delicious crab sandwiches. Dog friendly which is a bonus. The staff can’t do enough for you and do it with a cheery laid back but super efficient manner.

Took coffee and a sandwitch here and was well pleased. Dog friendly, excellent staff and cracking views of the bay towards cape cornwall. Had the BLT sandwitch that came with an excellent sallad which was almost a meal in itself. Please visit this gem of a cafe and treat yourself to something nice. Well pleased and would return. Tables outside will be nice on a pleasent day.

Good efficient service. Great food options. Clean tidy warm and relaxed. Perfect view too. Well done everyone. ( Bella dog welcome too).

We stopped off for a drink and to escape the rain. The food and cakes looked so delicious we quickly made up our minds to have lunch instead. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and all dietary requirements are catered for. The vegan carrot cake is simply the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. I would highly recommend you to visit and I will be returning next time I'm down that way.

Amazing food served for the Christmas Spanish tapas night. In particular the fish was absolutely incredible of salmon en croute and Newlyn fish. Lovely home made crackers (eco friendly with no plastic) with a voucher of a free slice of cake valid for a whole year!! Looking forward to my next visit!!

I went back in the early summer and was great. Unfortunately this visit wasn’t so good. Waited ages for the food which was okay but not great and the prices, whilst not expensive, certainly are not cheap. I’ll probably pass next time and try somewhere else with better value.

This has to be be one of my favourite cafes to visit. I would say its a small cafe with a big heart. Staff are always smiling and make everyone feel very welcome and the cafe is dog friendly which is perfect for me as I am often walking the cove with my dog Luna.

On a visit to sennen cove we went to the little bo cafe, we found the food to be excellent and well prepared and presented with generous portions, it is also all home made, the service and staff are great

Das Cafe eignet sich hervorragend zur Stärkung nach einem Spaziergang zu Land's End. Die Qualität ist gut und der Preis dafür günstig. Das Personal war etwas tollpatschig aber sehr freundlich.

On our annual trip to Cornwall we often visit the same old favourites for lunch, but after a visit to the Telegraph Museum on a Monday, our old favourites weren’t open. Luckily we stumbled across Little Bo’s and despite having to wait 20 mins for a table, we had a lovely lunch followed by very nice cake. We all had different things but everyone was pleased and the staff were lovely. Thank you Little Bo’s. You’ll be on our old favourites list from now on!

We stumbled in here just because it was handy - little did we know it was #1 on TA! We intended to just have tea but then decided to eat....great decision. Not the cheapest around but it was quality. I had a fab sweet potato soup - peppery but not overwhelming, thick, hot but not scalding - with sourdough focaccia. Delish! Excellent tea. A great stop. The only negative issue we had was it seemed to be dog central - at 1 point I had dogs on 3 sides of me - not pleasant!

A dog friendly, people friendly establishment. We are return customers who enjoyed the delicious cream tea with far too much clotted cream!

We stopped in here for lunch for two whilst visiting Sennen Cove. Friendly service and buzzing atmosphere. Between us we had one of the sandwiches (very nice) and a pasty (ok), both served with excellent side salads. Only gripe was the radio was being played on a loud, tinny speaker. We enjoy having background music whilst eating but recommend that they invest in a decent system!

Stopped in to grab a quick bite. Very nice and cozy little cafe. Had the bacon and cheese croissant. As you can see you also get a side of coleslaw and salad, happy with that!

We had late breakfast here on 3 occasions while staying nearby. Good quality and choice of breakfast with friendly efficient staff working from a small kitchen. Cakes are good. Dog friendly and panoramic view across the harbour at Sennen to Cape Cornwall. Lunch menu looked good. Highly recommend this small cafe

We visited 03/10/2019 and sat at the table in front of the window with the fantastic views.

Wonderful breakfasts - we particularly liked the scrambled eggs. Inside and outside seating, both dog friendly. Open every day. Great home made cakes as well.

A fantastic cafe with an excellent choice of hot and cold meals. We visited in September 2019, our second visit to Little Bo Café and Sennen Cove. Outstanding scenery on a clear day.

This is a great find on Sennen cove.

This lovely little cafe, with friendly chatty staff serves the best coffee and cake in Sennen Cove. The home made cakes are not just your usual run of the mill coffee and walnut, Victoria sponge etc but they also have a selection of more unusual options. They also sell salads, sandwiches, soup etc. The coffee is amazing and they are also dog friendly.Can't fault it!

A lovely dog friendly cafe with seating overlooking the sea.

Lovely little cafe in busy Sennen Cove. Dog friendly, delicious and simple home cooked food, catering for all tastes. Friendly staff and quick service.

Bin als Wanderer an diesem kleinen Café vorbei gekommen. Habe mir ein Stück Banana/Coconut Cake als Take away mitgenommen. Am nächsten Tag habe ich meine nächste Etappe so geplant, dass ich nochmals das Endziel in Sennen Cove hatte. Habe mich dann mit einem feinen, preiswerten Mittagessen verwöhnen lassen und diesmal einen Apple/Cinnamon Cake einpacken lassen.

Great cakes - including gluten free choices - and great strong coffee. The overall menu has something for everyone and sitting outside with the sea view is very agreeable

Walked to Sennen from Lands End and came across this little cafe for some lunch. The menu sounded nice so after a walk about we came back here. It was busy but there were plenty of staff. Unfortunately they weren’t very organised and tables weren’t cleared properly or left for some time. When our food arrived, it was very delicious and they were good portions. It just felt a little awkward as we were sat at a small table right at the door with people queueing right next to us. I enjoyed the food but felt the place could be improved by better organisation of the wait staff

We ate breakfast here 3 times and lunch once...all in a one week holiday to Sennen Cove.

We called in for coffee, scone and cakes. The cafe was busy inside so we opted to take away. However there were picnic benches just across the road so we sat there and enjoyed our tasty treats and the views. The scone was especially nice with the cream and jam.

Small cafe on the beach front but with lots of outside seating on the promenade opposite. Had a most delicious fresh crab sandwich followed by an enormous slice of cake which my friend and I shared. We sat inside with my friend's grandchildren and the seating is a bit tight but it's a very good, well-frequented, beach cafe so you have to expect it to be busy. Lots of choice to suit all tastes on the menu and a lovely cake cabinet with very reasonable prices all round. Very clean too. I didn't visit the loo myself but my friend's daughter did and she said it was very clean with good baby changing facilities too. Definitely worth stopping for lunch here.

We just really fancied a proper Cornish cream tea so nipped in to Little Bo. Whilst it is small and very busy you can sit outside as well. The scones were fresh and big! The clotted was awesome as is the jam! You can’t go wrong. The other things on the menu looked good as well on the tables around us. A definite thumbs up

Great little place, food fresh and very tasty, one of the best lunches so far! Would definitely recommend. Service first class, NO SEAGULLS YAY!

Little Bo is right on sea front with great views - lovely food and a friendly happy atmosphere - 4 adults enjoyed cooked lunch and agreed it is good value. Thank you.

I’ve read lots of negative reviews about this cafe and I honestly don’t know why. I visited today with my husband and our two children. The staff were totally delightful despite the cafe being rammed and being up against some challenging customers!! The cream tea was so tasty, freshly baked scones, very generous portions of cream and jam and the tea wash very good quality. Definitely worth a visit!

We enjoyed a very tasty english breakfast at Sennen Coves Waterfront during a rainy morning before surfing. The staff was very friendly, the food very yummy.

We came here for afternoon tea this week and thought the cakes and drinks were very high quality as was the beautiful location of the cafe with stunning views of the sea. However unfortunately our experience was spoiled by very poor customer service. We were a large group but the waiters insisted that we moved the tables around ourselves and they approached us in a rude rather than welcoming way when we walked in. Something was missed off our order and the waiter was adamant it was our fault when in fact he had forgotten it. He failed to apologise for his mistake and made a big scene about it. The staff also had a big argument in front of us which was very unprofessional and awkward. It was a shame that the poor service overshadowed the tasty treats this cafe has to offer.

It’s everything you want and need in this wonderful location. Small - yes, Busy - yes but the best always is, good value - yes, good service - yes, will I come again - forever my lovely!

Best cream tea I've had - two huge scones, bowls of cream and jam ( none of those little jars) More than enough for two - good coffee too

Tiny cafe serving breakfast, lunch and coffee and cake. Has tables outside looking over the sea. Stop serving food at 4pm. Very nice coffee and walnut cake. Friendly staff and nice toilet facilities.

We had coffee on the pavement outside this little gem. It was excellent and we drank it watching the launch of the lifeboat. We went for a stroll and decided to return to the café for lunch. I had a beautiful light scone with clotted cream and jam. My husband opted for a pasty which came, unexpectedly, with 5 delicious and varied salads. All for under £9! We chatted with the very friendly members of staff. This is a must do place. Everything is homemade and looks wonderful. Small but perfectly formed.

Relaxed staff with a warm welcome and happy to help can do attitude, Great selection of cakes,tasty healthy main meal options plus daily specials, breakfast menu also served upto mid day,eat inside or tables by the promenade, wonderful,nice coffee too

First of all.... a sandwich in this place is not just a sandwich... it comes with the most amazing side salad too!

breakfast not too spectacular, but nice tea shop friendly staff, clean but extremely busy, seating inside and out

We stopped here for a refreshment after doing an 8 mile walk. Huge pot of tea for two and the most scrumptious lemon meringue sponge cake.

Great location, cute cafe, food good, but the whole experience and value for money let down by the arrogant and rude staff and poor service. Such a disappointment.

We had a delightful tea break at the friendly cafe. Food was OK and I love the cozy space. I would consider coming again for cakes if I should come by that way again.

Friendly, helpful staff, good menu choice. Really fresh and tasty food. Lovely to sit outside overlooking the fab bay at Sennen.

While cycling around Cornwall, we stumbled upon this cafe, serving delicious home made meals with excellent salads - very healthy. We were also tempted by their large selection of desserts, making the ride up the hill even more challenging.

They had three staff working but service was still very slow. That is okay but on a weekday in May the place was not packed and I guess it isn't a good sign with summer coming?

Very friendly staff, the kitchen staff are also very knowledgeable and knew what coeliac meant without me having to explain. As a vegetarian coeliac it can be challenging to find options but these guys gave me options and even accommodated my request for something different. They did warn me they couldn't guarantee re cross contamination but they took care and I wasn't ill after eating here. They were incredibly busy but still made time to pour my little dog a bowl of water. The food that came out was so much better then we expected, when they say salad they don't mean a simple pile of limp lettuce with grated carrot and a tomato... The sandwiches were filled well. The hot chocolate was morish. The only way they could have been better was to have some gluten free scones or cake on offer. Loved this place, well worth the visit.

We stopped off for coffee and cake,the welcome was unbelievable,so helpful staff and friendly,excellent value,and very tasty,great choices,very popular,but staff still had time for you,we definitely recommend this cafe,great view over the bay,seating inside and out,dog friendly,

This has been our favourite place for locals for a long time. With the take over of ownership - it doesn't appear so crisp with plumped cushions and tidiness as before. Menu on the board is a bit of a let down after the big exciting choice of healthy meals the cafe accommodated before. Fewer cakes on show instead of the beautiful choice before. It all looks a bit tired now - but I am sure that it will move in the right direction over time.

Lovely cafe and a very extensive menu. Really enjoyed the goats cheese and pepper panini and cake. Beautiful views to the beach.

Just been to the cafe lovely cakes nicely decorated very tasteful etc. BUT service poor the very young staff more interested in closing at 4.pm Sunday afternoon sunny day lots of people coming in asking for teas coffees cakes being turned away or given takeaway drinks table cleaning and rushing about making a very rushed atmosphere not at all relaxing and disappointing wouldn’t come back at all!

What a shame this little place with huge potential isn’t better organised. They had run out of several items on the blackboard menu, forgot orders, could find who had ordered what and were decidedly slow. The cakes, soup etc were absolutely delicious. I think they are struggling because the cafe is very tiny and the working kitchen cramped with lack of big enough storage or preparation areas. Please find them a bigger place as the delicious homemade food is bursting to get out!!

Great cakes. Great service. Great location with a beautiful view over Sennen beach. Helpful, friendly staff.

Oh what a lovely cafe. Called in for a hot chocolate with all the trimmings Just couldn't resist the blueberry and lemon sponge - it was amazing Lovely staff and a wonderful seating area with outstanding views overlooking the bay. Will certainly return

So we arrived at 1140 on the Sunday of a May Bank Holiday and told we couldn't have breakfast as they had run out of food and were not serving lunch till 1215 even though the sign said lunch from 12. We noticed the tables were empty but had not been cleaned despite numerous staff.

Fantastic service, lovely location, sweet staff, busy but not overly. The food was delicious and reasonably priced too. As Arnie says ...... “I’ll be back”

Always visit when visiting Sennen. Sit outside with a delicious ice cone and watch the tide come in.

Five of us went to Little Bo Cafe for coffee and snacks. Sat at the tables across the road looking at Sennen Cove. OK coffee and food and pleasant service.

Visited here on 9 April, ran out of scones by 3pm (not the first time this has happened either). How can you run out of scones by 3pm. It's traditional afternoon tea which is served in the afternoon. It's the Easter holidays, bake more!

We decided to take a short break in Sennen Cove and the apartment was above Little Bo Cafe.

Awesome food dog friendly nothing too much cakes die for well recommended this place views fantastic 😎👍👏

Very good menu range. The specials included meals as well as normal cafe items. We only had coffee and a snack but it all looked good. The service was quick and friendly. Location is ideal being close to the car park. Some table outside overlooking the beach.

A morning walk from Lands End around the coastal path ended up at Sennen Cove where we were in need of light refreshments! Voila! We immediately spotted the Little Bo Cafe on the sea front. Handily across the road were several tables and chairs, unfortunately they were all occupied! This is a good sign, we thought, the produce must be good, let’s try our luck. We were very pleased that we did, because the staff were very friendly and the food and drink were great value for money. Highly recommended!

We were visiting Sennen and decided to call for breakfast along with our dog, we all had a lovely welcome, prompt service, lovely food, definitely eat there again. Home made cakes looked amazing. Didn’t get chance to try as we were walking over to Lands end as it was on a full stomach. Lovely views from the cafe too.

As Vegetarians - we had a Very poor response to our discovery of meat in our chilli nachos - will not visit again.

Another visit to this popular café. Friendly welcoming staff. Home-made dhal was outstanding and terrific value. Homity pie with salad was also excellent. Didn't have the home-made cakes but they looked great. Well worth a visit even if only for coffee.
