Lovetts in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My fav coffee shop, wonderful people, incredible food and amazing coffee. Also there music playlists they play are top tier. Go visit . A cherished part of newlyn

Two of us called in for coffee and possibly food. The flat whites were very nice. That's it. We did try to engage the staff in conversation as there was nobody else in, but that went nowhere. I watched the interaction between the female member of staff and a customer. You have to be impressed with the ability to take an order and deal with the whole transaction without once making eye contact! Maybe it was just an off day. However, if you're dealing with customers who are looking for a pleasant experience and have money to spend, then off days should be hidden behind professionalism. We ate elsewhere.

Lovely little place with a fantastic selection of wines and craft ales. Very classy place, shame it isn't slightly bigger the owner was very freindly and happy.

Stunning space and really interesting combination of flavours and treats featuring two of my favourite things; wine and coffee! A diverse set of food options especially for the size and space. I eagerly await a future visit to try more treats!

Great coffee, wine and deli options! Interesting pop up events too - we went to a cheese and wine tasting hosted by Neals Yard Dairy that was great.

Popped in here for a coffee and a snack - it was super busy but we managed to snag a seat inside. Both coffee and the sausage roll were great, would recommend!

Only stopped for coffee, but wish we'd eaten as well, food looked lovely

Locals know this is the best coffee but now becoming a great local Deli too. I regularly buy the local Trink milk from here and the cheeses are best in town… enjoy

Great coffee and cake. Small coffee shop but managed to squeeze inside and had very good flat white and brown butter and almond cake. Delicious

Really delicious coffee, and such a lovely spot on the corner in the sun, but so disappointed by the service. Being a barista myself, I know how important customer service is, and the blunt and cold interaction I experienced left me feeling quite disheartened. A warm and kind exchange goes a long way and all part of the coffee experience.

gem of a place ! fantastic wine list. insanely delicious cheese toasties. you can tell these people care about their craft

Don’t accept cash. Service was dire.

Fantastic coffee in gorgeous quality crockery. The banana and walnut muffin was out of this world - sweet and sticky and wholesome. The whole menu looked lovely so will be back!

Stopped for coffee and cake, very nice. However they have a wonderful selection of wines. So all I can say is...... Fantastico, Fantastico..!! Grazie Grazie Grazie..!!

Had a very nice strong coffee in here. Selection of food looked nice. Would like to go back for a glass of wine which is what they seem to specialise in. Nice friendly atmosphere.

An absolute must whilst visiting Newlyn and a return for us after our last visit two years ago. Mainly a wine shop and deli, there is also provision of a few tables and chairs to enjoy an excellent bottle of wine off the shelf for a modest corkage. Complemented by a platter of cheeses and meats. Clearly popular with and supported by locals. Doggy friendly. Very similar to a wonderful venue we enjoy where we live in St Marychurch Torquay. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

I don't even like coffee myself, I come for the cakes - they are AMAZING! And all made by the owner apparently. Met up with a friend yesterday who does like coffee and Lovetts was the perfect venue to suit both of us - also handily was situated an equal distance from where we were both coming from. Really lovely ambience, service, cakes and coffee - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

Disappointing to see a good little niche place with great food and coffee turn sour with bad attitude. I’m a local customer so I’ve had coffee, cake, lunch here often, wanting to support quality, innovative independent business but today’s response on my seeing the “we are a cashless business” sign was beyond poor. Service here has always, at best, been cool but I’ve returned because there aren’t that many places in this area selling good coffee… however there are a few and the others now get all of my foot vote because today’s rude, imperious and quite stupid response (in pointing out to me very loudly in front of all other customers, the very sign upon which I was basing my decision not to go ahead with my order) is not something I’m prepared to accept anywhere. In response, Emma, the back story is irrelevant to the rudeness. I knew from previous visits that you didn’t take cash and it was a factor in me thinking about how much I wanted to visit. This, however, was the first time I’d seen the sign and therefore realised that it was a clear policy ongoing. I had hoped it might go the other way. I quite politely waited for Courtney to return from out of the back of the shop to the counter, in order to show her the appropriate respect of explaining why I was leaving, before she started my coffee. I explained I’d just seen the sign and that I thought that was not good. You turned from behind me with the astounding rudeness I have already described, and pointed as if I were a 3 year old, to the sign. I replied “well yes I see that and that’s why I’m leaving”. I’m not really sure how I left abruptly with all of the shopping I was carrying. Nor can I see what else you expected other than me leaving. Had you been civil I may have entered in to conversation with you about it because yes, I do feel strongly about it and I don’t believe that this is the sole reason you manage to make such virtuous claims about paying your staff a decent wage which you should be doing anyway. You also did not intimate at any point that you had stopped serving so your response is irrelevant and in terms of recognising your attitude, abjectly lame. The respect of an apology for your rudeness would be more meaningful than a tired attempt to buy my favour with a free coffee and cake, neither of which I am interested in. Choices get made on the basis of these things. I’m sure you’ll deal with that and I will go elsewhere. Let’s leave it there.

Amazing friendly manager and staff. Great choices of wine and excellent brunch menu options. Cosy warm bar which I will definitely be visiting again!

Loved this place, everything was perfect. The staff were lovely and also made us laugh - super friendly service! The menu was concise and thoughtfully curated, as well as delicious. Will definitely be back.

Called in for coffee and managed to get a seat. Coffee was good although tiny for the price. It became clear to us that we were sat next to the owner and I have to say that the way she spoke to her two young members of staff was downright rude and no wonder that they looked so miserable at their work although no criticism of their service at all. The owner suddenly became friendly when clearly others of the 'London set' arrived and happy to chat with them but no warmth towards other customers and made to feel as though we were in the way. Maybe a visit to the Star inn at Porkellis would be of benefit as we visited there later the same day and they showed exactly what good service should be like!

Great coffee, fantastic almond chocolate croissants, friendly staff, dog friendly. Couple of outside tables to people watch.

Lovely knowledgeable barista who served up a great espresso. Really nice little place with a relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely little cafe serving amazing toasties and the best coffee we’ve had in Penzance or Newlyn

Nice spot that catches the early morning sunshine. Good coffee served in beautiful local pottery.

A stop for a coffee turned into a moment, lots of entertainment outside the window watching traffic.....but the coffee oh wow, wine is judged by length, this coffee lasted n my mouth until back in Penzance! Excellent advice about choice of bean.

What a lovely little shop🎈 the espresso was fantastic;

Amazing coffee during the day and a great wine bar with simple but fresh tapas at night.

Lively little cafe wine bar on a busy corner. Lovingly made, delicious food and superb coffee. We had coffee and brunch in the morning and tapas and wine in the afternoon. Everything was a taste delight served by very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They love their food and are passionate about what they serve. They try to serve organic and low intervention produce

What a gem! Tiny coffee/ wine bar on a super busy corner delivering perfection from morning coffee to tapas style plates with amazing wine selection into the night! Really interesting ‘breakfast menu that morphs into wine bar morsels … don’t miss it if you are a coffee or wine buff … or just like really tasty small plate eating!

For the best coffee by far in the area and exceptionally tasty sweet and savoury things to eat during the day. Lovetts is also a wine bar, craft beer spot - you can indulge in small plates of cheese/charcuterie/bread/salad/olives etc as you drink. A lovely way to spend an evening trying a few wines by the glass. Real attention to detail with produce of the highest quality. Look forward to returning next time we are staying nearby.

Lovely little place lovely staff good atmosphere and a good selection of wine and meats 😘

Amazing little cafe in Newlyn. The best coffee around in my opinion served in lovely, locally made cups. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was simple but full of flavour!! Will definitely be back.

Visited for a fresh coffee and I do enjoy and love it a lot. A bit busy in the Monday morning but worth it.

Sweet spot for natural wine and cheese!

Good coffee, relatively hostile service. In stark contrast to the warm hospitality received elsewhere in Newlyn

We always try and use a local cafe as we like to support local businesses. The small but clean cafe was perfect for a business coffee and some lovely cake. The team were polite and really seemed to care about what they were serving and about the local area. We love Newlyn and would love to live in the town! Hopefully we will be back soon to try more of your lovely produce. Keep up the amazing work it will all be worth it in the end!

Amazing little coffee house, serves the best coffee in Cornwall. Really tasty breakfast choices.

The toasted cheese sandwich with nduja was amazing, thoroughly recommend. Coffee was good to, great place for breakfast. Sad I wasn't in Newlyn long enough to try the place in the evening.

Great coffee in a relaxing, calm environment

Me and my girlfriend dropped in for a coffee and some lunch in the new year. The whole experience was lovely. We had the malaysian dahl and the nduja cheese toastie. Both were incredible! Potentially the best cheese toastie I've ever had. The coffees were perfect, staff lovely and overall atmosphere of the place was so peaceful.

We were staying in Mousehole and decided to walk to Penzance. On reaching Newlyn, it was coffee time. Lovetts was in the right place at the right time. But it was delightful. Really good coffee. What was even better was that the two girls were lovely. We chatted to one for ages, fending questions about Australia (where we're from). Be sure to stop in if you're in the area.

My fav wine bar in the entire Cornwall, we always come here for aperitivo or end up not having dinner at all. The best olives, chorizo and chilli peppers! Need to visit them during a day and try a cup of cappuccino, we never come that early x

Excellent coffee, very tasty food and really friendly staff! Would highly recommend

A great little wine bar - great service and very friendly

Visited here several times on our numerous trips to the area over the years. Always excellent coffee and our “go to” cafe in Newlyn, with friendly and helpful service. We decided to try their tinned sardines with sourdough toast after coming across eateries in Spain offering menus consisting solely of different types of tinned sardines (and nothing else) and our expectations were exceeded! Absolutely delicious and no comparison with the tinned sardines in the supermarkets here. We will be back for more next time we’re in the area.

Super chilled ambience with the finest attention to detail and product knowledge. Can tell the owners are extremely passionate about the brands they use

OK, so I've not done an exhaustive search, but this is the best coffee I've had, west of the Tamar. Started my day there for a week and the flat whites were both fab and consistent. Having the barista, on day 2, remember what i drank was a nice touch. Overhearing the public conversations between them and someone from the local roastery demonstrated the depth of their interest in pulling great shots. See you next summer!

The evening menu was incredibly good. We had fresh Herritage tomatoes ( supplied from just up the road ) with Mozerella and st Ives bread. The gentleman managing was really kind and in control of the business, brought out foods and drinks with a smile. Really good quality wines and a picture perfect setting in the working village of Newlyn. Thank you :)

Exceptional coffee coupled with an ever changing cast of locals and tourists in a tasteful but relaxed setting, cocktails aren't bad either, a must if you're in Newlyn.

Would recommend for lunch or a coffee when your nearby. More expensive than usual but worth the price! One of the best coffees we've ever had, delicious food with quality ingredients. There's not much food options but lots of drinks.

I love this place. I think the coffee is great and I’ve worked at my fair share of coffee shops over the years. They do the best cheese toasted and I’m not biased I promise! What I love about this place is that they care; I’m a Londoner on holiday, and it’s so nice to be met by a team of very warm and friendly staff who want the experience of grabbing a coffee to be joyful. I came here before the pandemic and I’m so glad to see them still going (strong). Thanks to everyone at Lovetts and I hope to be back at some point for more coffee.

It’s hard to decide whether I prefer to visit during the day or in the Evening. Daytime delivers exceptional artisan coffee, pastries and bites served by owner Emma and a lovely team. Evening time brings a wine bar with a great atmosphere and a wine selection that is on par with any of the capitals top wine bars, ask Rohit for his favourite by the glass. Great cocktails and little bites too. Newlyn is a little haven and Lovetts a little gem!

We’ve given a lot of custom to Lovetts, as local customers. Yes the coffee is good, but the cup size is tiny! Perfect for a flat white, as you expect a smaller cup. But for all else it’s a joke! We could absolutely put up with a miniature coffee, but the staff, mostly are not at all interested in providing good customer service. Today was the last straw, we’ll definitely not be returning. The lady who served us was abrupt and downright unpleasant.

Amazing coffee and cakes! Perfect stop off after a walk! Thank you!

Great coffee... Very cool place to stop..

Time for a glass of wine and a plate of cheeses...almost all French. Very good address.

Disappointed with the unwelcoming service. Staff were short with me while I was paying. Coffee was ok. Live locally but doubt I'd return.

This is the 2nd time we have been to Lovetts and and I'm now starting to think that they are a bit up their own bottoms and not very authentic. Some of what they serve maybe good quality like the wine and coffee (although I'm starting to doubt that now) but others are just a rip off, we had the sardines and sour dough the first time under the impression we were getting a high quality little dish and being right on the harbour - fresh local fish but No, instead a tin of sardines arrived next to some sourdough slices, I thought it quite funny as not what I expected especially considering the haughtiness of the staff there. The second time we went I had a hot chocolate for £3.10 and it arrived in a very small cup and hardly tasted of chocolate at all, I thought considering this little cup it was maybe a real hot chocolate made with melted chocolate but no such luck, it wasnt even half as tasty as a costa chocolate! Have these people never travelled?! It could be a great little wine bar a cut above other places if only it was authentic about its high quality instead of just trying to be trendy.

Great little coffee shop right by the dock - thoroughly recommend

Enjoyed the Cortado but service was applauding I asked if they had a White Sauvignon to which the the male member of staff said arrogantly we have red yellow or blue without a smile and with a total lack of interest I have always found wine specialists enthusiastic but not here . The whole demeanour of staff was one disinterest more interested in polishing glasses than showing off the vast array of wines. . If I am paying £3 for a coffee and looking at £20 bottles of wine I expect some interest I have had more at a road side cafe . In these days of austerity I would had hoped hospitality would be a major factor no engagement here . Being local I won’t be recommending.

Great to have a choice of super tasty coffee to try. Love the combo of speciality coffee and natural wine. Really impressive.

Stopped for a quick coffee at this corner café with window seats. Superb. Excellent food and wines. Sourdough sandwiches, fat sausage rolls. Cool place.🇬🇧🇳🇿🇺🇦🌻

Used to enjoy going here but charging me £2 for a babycino is a bit of a joke. Come on guys your milk is not superior to the average coffee establishment. First time I've ever reviewed but I wouldn't expect to pay that for the most pretentious coffee bar in London! Bit ridiculous, doubt I'll return again

We stayed nearby and visited this spot every day. The coffee is really good, good grilled cheese and cakes and the people are super friendly. Would recommend

What a gem! This coffee/wine bar serves delicious and meticulously made coffee and a great selection of wines by cheerful and professional staff. It completes the triangle with the cinema and Mackerel Sky for the perfect evening out in Newlyn!

Had a lovely glass of Cataratto and a little chocolate truffle before the cinema. Definitely a super cute bar.

Absolutely amazing little gem in the picturesque village of Newlyn. Great artisan coffee, amazingly delicious brownies and super tasty toasties. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I ate and drank in Lovetts last night with our dog. The premises is small, and was busy, but socially distance giving it a great atmosphere. The waiter and other guests were very friendly too. We drank craft beer, fizz and wine...

Stopped in this weekend in the middle of a long walk. Excellent coffee, cakes to die for (massive shout out to Beige Donuts for the best donuts of our lives). Really nice staff - super helpful. Can't wait to return

This is the perfect find for coffee lovers who enjoy their coffee prepared and served well. It was delicious, not overpriced, the brownies were to die for and the owners really relaxed and very friendly. If you love coffee then this is the place to...

Great place for a glass of wine

Best cocktails and coffee in Cornwall. Emma and Rohit are great hosts. Perfect balance between attentiveness and quiet service

Love this place. Everything is of the highest quality and the couple running both sides of the business (coffee, cakes and sandwiches/toasts in the day and organic wine/cocktails/snacks in the evening) have a real attention to detail. The coffee is the best in West Cornwall...

Went to enquire about wines and food, the bar tender was dismissive, when we asked about what food was on offer he stated ‘it is called tapas’. Decided to leave, no warmth and welcoming. Patronising attitude. Cornish women told us the owners are from London...

Lovely little Wine and coffee bar just off of Newlyn bridge. Excellent friendly staff! Went today for a bit of food and a drink and was well pleased as always. Good portions, lovely tropical smoothie and cold brew! Will definitely bring others along here when...

Fantastic wine, lovely vibe, tho a tad punchy on price

Verdant beer in cans. Very good selection of wine. Lovely cheese, bread and olive boards. Friendly owner. Nice rustic setting. Whats not to like. Can't wait to go back!

Great little wine bar with knowledgeable staff, great wine and tasty tapas. We especially enjoyed the hummus and the reds. Really nice night. Oh, and it’s dog friendly too! Will visit again the next time we’re back in Newlyn/Penzance.

Love coming here for coffee and delicious cake! Sometimes we even indulge in a toastie. Always a good reward at the end of a walk along the Penzance prom :)

Great find on a wet Wednesday! Started with a coffee and a hot chocolate and realised the time so ordered a bite to eat. Great choices as both were fantastic! Friendly, well organised place with an amazing range of wines and cocktails although sadly we...

Good coffee, good wine, great service

Fantastic coffee and natural wines

We walk from Penzance along the seashore to Newlyn as our daily exercise. Great views and uplifting. What makes it perfect is the expert coffee Emma makes at Lovetts. Flat white and Americano. Take your own reusable cup to save the planet and a bit...

Best little bar in Cornwall. Beautiful location, friendly service, great coffee in the morning and great cocktails in the evening.

We found Lovetts whilst taking a walk around Newlyn Harbour area and were very pleased to enjoy great coffee. Space is limited an Covid regulations were a challenge for the cafe but they managed them very well. A little gem!

Superb wine bar / coffee shop in newlyn. We had some very delicious espresso martinis. Great spot to go before / after the seafood bar opposite

We stopped here a few times during our holiday. Brilliant coffee and an enviable wine selection. We had some local beers from Verdant, too. And the guy who runs the place is so lovely. Definitely go if you're in the area.

Great little bar, will good selection of wine and nibbles. Staff really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will visit again

Fabulous little bar. Right near the sea front, superb wines and very friendly staff. We love it here and come every time we visit Newlyn.

Great wine bar had an awesome night

Great addition to Newlyn, try the orange wine and the bar food. Staff are fab too 💪

Best coffee in the area. Best banana cake in the... universe! Nice vibe and a great place to sit and watch the world go by.

A little gem in Penwith! Great selection of wines as well as beer and gins available. Great prices too... Would definitely recommend

Fantastic little wine bar in the evenings and coffee shop in the mornings. Best coffee in the area by a mile. Chocolate figs are a must try if you’re there in the evening!
