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

A lovely traditional cafe in the stunning indoor Market, Redruth. Its just a nice old fashioned cafe with no pretentious airs and graces! Staff are lovely and working very busily when I arrived. I ordered a coffee and a small breakfast with extra tomato. Took a while due to them being very popular. But, when it did it hit the spot, just what I needed to keep me going.

A cute and quaint little cafe. Food is very tasty and nothings to much hassle for this crew. Keep up the Awesome work you all do and keep doing.

Brilliant breakfast as always reasonable price too staff are brilliant I would highly recommend market way cafe I am a regular customer.

Excellent cafe. Eggs perfectly cooked. One thing that will always put me off is undercooked eggs. Makes the breakfast. These guys know what they doing. I'm now a regular visitor. Traditional cafe.

Lovely food, served with a smile. Clean and comfy, good value. Had small fried breakfast, and belly buster ( only if you very hungry)

Our friend recommended this place and we were so glad he did. Roast lamb on a Friday, well cooked, very tasty and plenty of it. For another £2 we upgraded to a delicious dessert and a cup of tea. Great Value. There is a different roast each day of the week, plus a different menu for those who prefer something a little less filling. My only complaint was there was no mint sauce offered, yet after I had finished I saw a pot on another table. I mentioned this and was told I had to ask for it. I marked the venue down for this as it should have been offered, but I will know next time.

What a super Cafe, located in the market buildings half way up the Redruth high street. Wanted to stop here for a while just never got the chance as I love these old fashioned Cafes that produce what's always looked like excellent value for money food and drink. Not disappointed, Bacon butty with a fab runny egg and my wife had the Southern fried chicken burger....left us full, left us happy thank you for such a nice experience; love the feeling your Cafe has its like being in one of those heritage train station team rooms, a delight!

Ate here last week for lunch, ordered one sausage bap and one bacon and egg bap, freshly cooked, large portions, great service and great value for money

Perfect cafe. Staff were excellent, food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely go again next time we visit Redruth. Highly recommended.

Always lovely piping hot and cooked to perfection friendly staff and super clean absolute value for money

I went with my blind friend and her Guide dog. She wanted a different meal from the menu, but they provided it with no problems. I enjoyed fish and chips. The cafe is friendly and always willing to help. Good prices too!

They are closed at the moment due to Corvid, but are doing a delivery service and I'm having lunch delivered 3 times a week and the food is excellent with plenty of it and very reasonable, although things are difficult, Sharon who delivers it, always with a smile and a wee chat, I would recommend giving them a try I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

Great breakfast - staff jovial and very helpful - thoroughly recommend - we had the large breakfast and struggled to finish it

Came to visit as a family, we all enjoyed the delicious homemade food eclectically the chilli and crumble, would highly recommend and the service was also great. A lovely local cafe with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

This little cafe is our favourite place for breakfast. Everything is cooked to order, so is served hot and fresh - and well cooked. The service is speedy and efficient, and staff are friendly and welcoming. There’s plenty of choice on the menu, and the prices are very reasonable. We have not eaten lunch here, but have seen lunch being served to other customers and it has looked delicious. Highly recommended!

Good, fresh food reasonably priced. Excellent choice of teas and coffees. A lovely clean cafe with friendly staff. Not our first visit and surely not the last.

Wow! What a great cafe. My family and I were visiting Redruth and were looking for a bite to eat. We came across the Market way cafe and were very impressed by the cooked breakfast we had (not to mention the very reasonable price). The service was great and the staff extremely friendly. We enjoyed it so much we went back on a later date and equally enjoyed the roast dinner we had for lunch. Would highly recommend anyone to visit this cafe if you are ever in the Redruth area!

A hidden gem tucked away gives a truly warm welcome and fantastic service. My breakfast came out all freshly cooked and was fantastic value. Even my toast had been cooked and buttered to perfection; a good sign of the care taken to serve me up a breakfast fit for the queen :) Will be back!

The Market Way cafe is warm,welcoming and the food is wonderful and fantastic value for money. The new owners are so nice and doing a great job. Will definitely be going back,100%.

New owner of this cafe is fantastic, she is so friendly and so are the new staff, food is great value and really tasty. Homemade specials for great value and generous size.

Really friendly staff. Great breakfast, although they do more than the traditional fry up but not had that.

This is a proper caff, very friendly and, importantly, open at 8 in case you need breakfast having got off the sleeper train, 3 min walk from station. Good range of coffee and breakfast options, including veggie.

We quite often eat out for breakfast - and this is one of the best. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is always hot and freshly cooked to order, and the service surprisingly speedy. The prices are good, too.

I was in Redruth one morning and felt hungry so thought I'd give this cafe a try. The heading photo is not a fake, ask for a full English and you get all what you see with a friendly service. Full English = Full plate = Full stomach.I'll Be Back.

We always enjoy our food and the friendly banter. Well done to Val, Den and their daughters Sarah and Kerry

Good food and friendly service. Only had a fry up, been several times, they cater for vegetarians too.

This cafehas good food at reasonable prices. They have a good selection of breakfast, lunch dinners, snacks and deserts, and te/coffee ect. The staff are all friendly and i cannot fault there service at all.

Always friendly, the cooked breakfasts are tasty and good value, I have eaten here many times with no complaint.

These people know how to cook and to look after customers really good value for price cook fresh to order no long wait meals pipe in hot

Sólo yo. Pasó por allí para el almuerzo, y era tan agradable como la última vez. Acogida muy y todo el lugar está muy limpio. Tuve jamón, huevos y patatas fritas, que eran de muy alta calidad. Sólo es un pequeño café sin pretensiones. Un montón de clientes habituales, creo. Altamente recomendado.

Tuvimos un desayuno inglés completo y realmente me encantó. Cocinado a la perfección. Me Llenó para el resto del día. Sólo una pequeña cafetería, el personal era muy agradable y la comida era preparada fresca y rápida. Bien hecho, no muchos de estos viejos Cafe inglés alrededor de más.

Only open for a few hours a day Mon to Sat but always well attended, just a few choices but all well cooked homestyle food,quickly served at very reasonable prices ,it s a pity the Cafe s not on the main street as I m sure it would do fantasticly well

Fuimos para el almuerzo con un amigo. El servicio era amable y te daban todo lo que quería, si era o no en su menú. Me hicieron un bocadillo tostado con queso y champiñones - buena parte, gran precio, y no en el menú. Mi amigo tenía un rollo con tocino y huevos. También tuvimos flan (casablaca pastel para ella y para mí). Pequeña cafetería, pero muy amable y servicial, muy buenos precios y buena comida.

The drink was average but is located right in the heart of the town and might be better for bigger meals and cakes.

No acepta perros, pero no inusual para Redruth. Bastante triste en realidad. Están realmente en una posición donde puede girar a medida de distancia? Por eso, cuando su café estaba llena a medias me solicitaron sentarse fuera de las puertas con mi perro pequeño? Por favor, no citar las normativas de higiene alimentaria... lea otra vez! No puede unirse a nosotros en el siglo XXI?

The food was cooked fresh with love in this popular local cafe. A great hideaway for tourists to sample good honest food. Doorstep buttered bread as well! Waffles were a nice twist.

Fui para almorzar con una señora ciega y su perro guía. El servicio era amable y eficiente, que incluía diciendo la señora ciega donde el vidrio y la comida era cuando lo dejaron. Ambos tuvimos nuestra propia versiones de su comida, pero fueron rápidos para ofrecer, así que ella consiguió bacon en vez de jamón y yo conseguimos ensalada en vez de patatas fritas con mi tortilla. También disfrutamos de budín de limón y una tarta casablaca lloviznaba. Precios bajos y buena comida y servicio - no ir a ningún otro sitio!

Had an excellent cream tea that was given as a prize at our charity tombola. Thanks for the donation and the cream tea was lush.

I went with a blind lady and her guide dog and we enjoyed a full meal - she had lamb with vegetables and potatoes plus trifle and I had an omelette with chips followed by lemon sponge cake. They were really friendly and happy to give us different items to the menu, like clotted cream instead of custard for me. They are very friendly and constantly trying to provide everything we needed. Very tasty lunch in a very busy café.

Billy Basic cafe - old school but very friendly service with good honest basic foods. A good place to snack but can be busy at lunchtimes ? Popular with pensioners because of the good value :-)

Wandering around Redruth, Cornwall, last week my wife and I came across what we thought was the Market and decided to have a look. Well it used to be a thriving Market but alas as with many these days the Market area itself was empty. But there was a bonus. To reach it we had to walk through a passage in which there were a few shops, and The Market Way Cafe. We decided to take the weight of our feet and went in for a cup of tea. We had the tea, and also a lovely bowl of freshly made vegetable soup. The owner and staff made us very welcome, and the customer service was very good. So for an off chance visit we found an establishment serving refreshments that was well worth visiting. Try it.

This has got to be the best cafe in Redruth. Always very friendly and the food is fantastic my 2 boys love eating here as we go on a regular basis, wouldn't eat anywhere else xxxxx

Fantastic atmosphere, staff that will go the extra mile and to top it off srummie food too.Just tucked away from the town centre can enjoy food more privately it the old market way, adding a bit of history. Go try for yourself.

Gorgeous food, all home cooked, large portion's and lovely service. Highly recommended if you want a satisfying meal. Yum yum x

Been eating here for some time now , and always had great service from the friendly staff , the cafe is always clean and serve the best food in town at value for money.

Really friendly people, the food is absolutely amazing!! Very good portion sizes, Best cafe in Redruth I think will be coming again that's for sure

I love this little Cafe, Friendly staff,great food. Just a really nice little place to eat.Nothing is too much trouble. Never had a bad experience here.

What can I say about this cafe Well to start I would like to say that I've eaten here many times in the past few years and there cooked breakfast was great. But and I mean but the other items on the limited menu should just be removed my husband had the cheese burger chips and opted for beans instead of the salad. The burger had been reheated in the microwave which I have to say looked so dry along with the bap you could have used it to hammer in nails. The chips and beans although decent portion sizes would have had more flavour if they where tesco or sainsburys own brand rejects.Now as for my meal sausage, egg and chips the sausages where so cheap that they probably contained cardboard and old news papers and the looked and tasted like it was created by some mad scientists in a lab and well the chips I've already said about them.So to summarise the staff are very friendly and welcoming but the food leaves much (and I mean much) to be desired. Sorry guys but I won't be eating there again or recommending it to anyone.

We regularly eat here, the family who run the cafe are so warm and welcoming. We usually have the daily roasts but had heard someone saying how wonderful Vals omelettes are, so we had a fantastic ham and mushroom omelette, they should rename the place the omelette house and just make those wonderful omelettes. We love the warm welcome we get from the two sisters Sarah and Kerry and their father den makes the best coffee in town. Finally Val , a true pro at every meal she prepares. Thanks and see you all soon

I love this little family run cafe! Great food always hot, friendly staff great value and full of locals enjoying themselves!

Went for lunch with a friend. Great choice with good portions. Had chilli with rice - very good and generous portion. Can choose to have something different like my friend changed from ham to bacon with egg and chips - also good. Great friendly lunch!

After staying for a few nights in the pendent is bed and breakfast , we called in yet again to this lovely family run cafe. Excellent lunch a full roast , dessert and a lovely coffee , what good value and excellent service , can't wait to visit again

The food is very good and the cakes are great. Despite the small space they have to work in, this cafe works wonders and it is well worth a visit (or maybe two!)

I must say that you will get one if the best lunches here. It's a favourite place for us. The staff are always pleasant and efficient. Service with a smile thank you and see you again soon

Just popped in by chance and so glad I did. Had a really nice roast beef lunch. Lost of regular customers there, and the whole place had a great atmosphere. The staff were ever so friendly, and the place was spotless.At last.... A good reason to visit Redruth !

We visited here on the way to Hayle on holiday. I found this place out online and the reviews on tp were good. We arrived at 8:20am on a Saturday; 2 adults and 2 children. Parking right next door in the pay and display car park. The staff are very friendly offering advise of places to visit. The guy serving suggested special offers and we all throughly enjoyed our traditional cooked breakfast. The 2 things I personally liked is that the plates were extremely hot and the tomatoes are tinned plum which are my favourite. Thanks Market Way Cafe, we'll be back!!

This is the second year and the third time I've visited here. It's close by the County Archives at Redruth, so perfect for any budding genealogists. There are tables in and outside the cafe(covered over). The food ranges from big British breakfasts, to light snacks or a 3-course meal. The family of staff are friendly and charming making you feel instantly at home.

Always a really tasty meal at a cosy feeling café and if your an OAP or looking for a nice meal that doesn't break the bank, this is it.

We are always made most welcome by the family, Val, Den and their daughters Kerry and Sarah. The food is always hot, fresh and tasty and always served with a smile and friendly banter. You can tell they all love their jobs by the friendly laughter and clatter of plates coming from the kitchen, and well done for the 5 star food hygiene rating . It will always be our favourite place to eat in redruth ,

Lovely people. Family run business. Top quality food. I have a Hair & Nail Salon a few doors away, so I see it every day. They are always busy.

I would like say what good home made food you get every time we go to the Market cafe Redruth /Cooking better than you get in some top restaurants Val Den Sarah Kerry make you so welcome Best food in Cornwall Thanks

Visited for a spot of lunch with my son, very family friendly, great food at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

Outstanding value for money. Piping hot food and beverages, together with warm, friendly, and inviting staff.

Don't be put off by the smell of cooking oil in the air, the food we had was very nice. My wife had a very large jacket potato absolutely covered in cheese, and I had a tasty cheese & ham toasted sandwich. The cafe was almost full, and we would certainly visit again.

Great service value and professional and very friendly thanks den,vel,sarah and kerry.recommended to everyone.

absolutely lovely little place tucked away in Redruth. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. They could not do enough for you. Had a lovely little lunch there today with my family. Food was scrummy. Knocks spots of competitors who would charge double the price. Please don't change!

What a highlight of our trip to Cornwall. We were on the hunt for the best breakfast and we stumbled across this place one morning. We were so pleased to find this place and not only did they have the tastiest food but the owners were incredibly friendly and gave us insight in to the area and advice on things to do in the area for families. We ate thick white toast oozing with butter and jam and yummy sausage sandwiches. It was so good we had to go back and we were only in Cornwall for a week.

I pop in for a meal and a drink be it breakfast or lunch and fabulous food and drink and a friendly family run business and very good value for money. Well worth a visit

Well yet again we have had another wonderful lunch, it has to be our favourite place in Redruth. The family who run it are so friendly, Den, Val and their two lovely daughters Kerry and sarah, so nice to see a family working so close together in harmony, they obviously get on so well, you can here the cheerie banter and the clatter of plates coming from the kitchen. The food is fantastic, we've been told Vals omelettes are the talk of Redruth, but we always have a lovely homemade cooked dinner or home made Lasagna, fantastic, we will try the omelettes one day though.... And Sarah, your desserts and cakes are wonderful, its worth a visit to see Kerry doing her tricks with juggling the plates, she should be on Britain's got talent, thanks to such a lovely family and see you soon

My partner and I always go to market way for our big breakfasts, we love the owners, there always welcoming and chatty, the food is amazing. Well worth the walk up the big hill!

We came from yorkshire to visit friends in redruth they took us here for breakfast my partner and myself both said well worth the drive here we will go back again excellent value for money

Another fantastic lunch you can see why this place is always busy, lovely home cooked roast of the day , everyone here is so friendly and next time I'm having one of vals famous omelettes they are the talk of the place fabulous choice for dinner we travel 15 miles for lunch here. Well done val, den and their daughters Kerry and Sarah always service with a smile

This cafe is the best cafe I have been to the food is amazing and all home cooked. I don't know how they are charging so little for the lovely home cooked food they do! Would highly recommend the dinners and ham egg and chips but to be honest I'm yet to find any fault with the food at all everything I have had I have really enjoyed it's not worth going anywhere else I would recommend this place to anyone :) Valda, Dennis, sarah and Kerry are all lovely even do me a little dinner for my boy who enjoys going there just as much as me amazing food excellent value and lovely staff/ owners couldn't ask for more :)

excellent choice for breakfast or a lunch , friendly staff and excellent value for money, and a cooked lunch with several choices offered for a fiver

Excellent cafe - the service is always friendly and attentive you are really made to feel welcomed.The food is always of the highest standard and just as importantly...so is the coffee!

We pop in here occasionally for a Saturday morning breakfast treat. Don't expect high end, but it's good food served fresh and promptly.

The place to go when in town as the food is good, and the menu varies each day. Excellent value with good and friendly service. Where else could you go for lunch for 2 course meal and a pot of tea for just under £6 each! We will make it our regular from now on.

We eat here every week, food is great, never disappointed , excellent value and lovely staff, the owners val and Den and their daughters Kerry and Sarah should be really proud as they have just been awarded a top 5 star food hygiene award well done see you soon

Friendly simple cafe with some of the best home made soup you could hope for at £2.50 each. We will definitely go back and try he great value breakfasts.

I'm here in Redruth visiting family. On my way to the train station before going home I decided to stop here for breakfast. I had what is referred to as a early bird breakfast and it brilliant. You get bacon, sausage, egg, toast, beans or toms and a house tea or coffee for 3.50£. It was cooked brilliantly. The staff were lovely it was quick, hot and they were busy which for 1st thing in morning says just how popular they are. Next time I'm in town will be back would reccomend this lovely little cafe to everyone.

My wife and I visited this café for the first time. Having spent a couple of hours shopping, we called in around lunchtime, and we were greeted in a friendly manner. The place was bright and welcoming. Having ordered from a varied menu, we were served promptly, and the meals were piping hot, and freshly cooked. We engaged in conversation with the owner, a man of vast experience in the catering trade. I agree with the previous comments, it has to be the best café in Redruth . When you visit the town, look for the miners statue in Fore Street, Market Way is on your right.

I have gone here randomly the past 3 years when I fancy a full english. Ive read other reviews and i agree that it is the best place to eat in redruth. They are family friendly. My only gripe ia not really a gripe I wish it was bigger so you could fit all us happy customers in. Keep it up and dont change. Nice family run cafe. Keep up the great work x

we had breakfast here for the first time and it will not be the last, the food is first rate, hot and freshly cooked, and very reasonable priced. the place was clean and fresh looking we would recommend to anyone who wants good home cooked food and friendly service

I love the cafe the staff and all its food very friendly staff and the food is lovely all freshly made good value for money

We regularly visit and the food just gets better and better, they have had a refurb recently and the place is better than everThe owners and their daughters Kerry and Sarah are so friendly, and the food is first rateWe would recommend to anyone who wants good, home cooked food in Redruth, you will not be disappointedWell done

Not the place for a fancy cupcake and frothy italian coffee, but a very good old style café. Good food, friendly service, very reasonable prices make this a top choice for lunch in Redruth

This is a good old "greasy spoon" style cafe. With normal, honest people working there and from what I can tell it is a family business so the staff care about the service they give and the food that it served. It is all home made as well as being cheap and cheerful. I don't mean this in a detrimental way, it is good food for a good price. They use "doorstop" bread for their bacon sarnies, which is always going to be a winner with me. I try to eat there at least once a week for a cuppa and sarnie before college and it is always pretty much full, which proves that it is popular with the locals. If you're ever in Redruth and fancy a nice post-hangover fry up, or just a chat over a coffee, then I thoroughly recommend visiting this place

i use the cafe every day , as i have a shop there too , the owners and staff are the friendliest bunch of people iv had the pleasure to meet , and its all natural not forced , which is very refreshing , the food is second to none , all homemade , cooked to perfection , iv NEVER had a complaint about their food yet , you can eat a hearty meal for less than a fiver ??? with a pudding ?? amazing value for money !! fantastic food fantastic family , please dont ever leave , no one could fill your boots , they go above and beyond to deliver the best value meal in town , they also deliver to the local shop keepers , my lunch is delivered to me every day , hot and fresh , fab cafe , highest recommendations !!!!

I tend to eat at the Market Way cafe at least once a week, it is such good value. Last week an elderly lady (a regular whom I recognised but did not really know) asked me if I knew what the 'Trip Advisor' sticker in the doorway referred to - so I told her. She immediately asked me to post a review on her behalf as she didn't have access to the internet. Her name is Marianne Phaby and she thinks the Market Way cafe in Redruth is about as close to heaven as you'll get in this world! I can't think of anything better to say!

A small cafe in a small shopping arcade with outside seats if required; a most unprepossessing venue in a town which has seen better times. But here you will find proper home-cooked fare at truly astounding prices. Nothing is too much trouble for these people;the menu is comprehensive, the ingredients fresh, all cooked on the premises and the value is unbeleivable. Where else can you get a traditional roast dinner with 5 different vegetables - all perfectly cooked - at £4.75? Or a home-made lasagne and fulsome salad (plus chips, if you want it!) for the same price? Add adessert - apple pie/crumble or rhubarb tart or trifle - that'll be 50p! - have a cup (mug,actually) of coffee - that's included!You might say it's cheap and cheerful - the staff are certainly cheerful - but my verdict is it's just wonderful.

I have just started using this cafe , and my goodness what a lovely meal I had.I had a roast dinner and a pudding served with lovely custard and a coffee for £5.20 a bargain.I have meet some lovely friends and look forward to going in.I would recommend anyone to give it a try.

I have walked pasted this cafe many times and seen how busy it is and i finally decided to visited the cafe with my girlfriend, We had to Roast Lamb dinner, two desserts and two drinks all for £10.40. It was lovely food, the staff were friendly and everywhere looked clean. It's proper cosy and i left full which is always a good sign i would highly recommend it. There something for everyone.

What a great place to visit. Good food at a low price, cheerful, friendly staff and believe it or not, a great place to meet old friends and make new. I am single and eat there most days of the week and look forward to the social aspect as well as a good lunch. The cafe is always spotlessly clean and always looks inviting.I would be happy to recommend it to anyone.

my husband and I (no we are not royalty) are regular customers. we have always had a brilliant meal, and served quickly and certainly with smiles. It is a cafe and not a restaurant which is reflected in the price, but then where else can you go for a 2 course meal inc hot drink for just over a fiver.

We visit from Penzance (25 miles away) at least twice a week, its the best cafe in Town, Val, Dennis and their daughter Sarah and her best mate Kerry make you feel so at home, the food is fantastic and the regulars and atmosphere is great. We run a guest house and tell any guests travelling to this area to stop off and have one of Val's roasts of the day or perhaps a fab Omlette, wish they were in Penzance, freshly cooked and always tasty, well done
