Pinky Murphy's in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Sad to say that Pinky Murphy’s is no more….it was a super quirky cafe come coffee shop come artistic venue. Guessing Covid, Brexit and rent all had something to do with its demise.

Great welcoming vibe at the fabulously famous Pinky Murphy’s Highly recommended for any occasion. Great menu choices and wide price range to suit all pockets. Quintessential Cornwall at its best.

Away from the masses but Maria was lovely and a pleasant ambiance.Wanted tea cakes but they didn't have any!!!!!.However ,despite the cappucino being dearer than I am used to,it was very nice. Will no doubt be back and a lovely change from the sterile norm'.

Friendly (& dog friendly) place to watch the world go by if you sit at one of the outside tables. Had a very relaxing lunch here with great service.

Such a friendly quant place. Delicious cakes and friendly staff. Try and get one of the two tables outside on a sunny day. Will definitely return.

What a lovely find. Beautiful view from sunny terrace. Ladies running the cafe were really friendly and food was good too. Would definitely recommend.

Had two coffees and a pot of tea, cake was dry and largely flavourless, distinctly average, slightly above average price, but this place is a tourist trap. Staff pleasant.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, quirky cafe out of the hustle and bustle, tea and delicious cakes. What more can you ask for to rest our weary feet. Definitely would recommend them.

No trip to Fowey is complete without a visit to Pinky’s. The owner is a delight, as are her attentive staff. Food is always delicious and the atmosphere convivial. We were sad to see the business had been hit hard by Covid restrictions. It’s great to see you back up and running. Let's hope for a better year ahead! Thanks for the choccy cake for my dancing daughter :)

Great find just a little out of the main drag, generous portions and lovely salads. Ham very good quality. Would recommend.

Found this place for a coffee while walking away from the crowded part of town. One of the 2 outside tables gives you a fine view of the water and boats. Friendly service and nice coffee too

Dived in here on a wet morning. Had coffee and cake, all of which were excellent. The welcome was exceptionally friendly

We stumbled across this cafe, having arrived in the area too early to get into our rental house. As luck would have it, a table on the tiny terrace was available and we sat with fantastic views over the River Fowey in the sunshine. A very friendly woman took our order and food arrived quickly. The mixed salad was good. Fairly limited menu but all fine.

quirky cafe a little out of the centre of Fowey but well worth a visit, no table numbers they all have celebrity names, we sat with Elton John, very reasonably priced

Lovely unassuming cafe with lovely hot coffee and great genuine service sat outside and enjoyed the peak of views to the estuary

Been here annually for many years in October and always a warm welcome and comfort food. Amazing selection of cakes and savouries for all tastes and comfortable surroundings. A must!

Randomly found this little gem of a cafe, Lovely warm and friendly welcoming dogs as well. Offers gluten free sandwiches as well.

Due illness this review is rather late but I can assure you a visit to this quaint little place in Fowey will not disappoint . It is small but as plenty of character. the food was excellent,

Been here many times over the years now quality of cakes not as good and the older member of staff miserable now trading on their past reputation

Had lunches in Pinky Murphy’s yesterday, nice decorations surrounding. Very tick bread which is lovely.

Lovely unique place in Fowey, friendly staff. Worth a visit on your way through. Recommend the scones 😋

We have visited Pinky Murphys many times before and had good food and good service previously.However, on Saturday we 6 of us arrived at 2pm for drinks and cakes and one sandwich. We were told that there was a half hour wait (due to the Christmas fair) and were ok about this. Strangely, the drinks arrived first and then nothing.By 3pm, when other customers who had arrived after us had been served with food and drink, we decided to leave.The lady in charge did not agree we had waited an hour and argued that the sandwich had caused this huge display. Rude and unfriendlyWe will not be going back, despite being frequent visitors to Fowey.

While the rest of Fowey seemed to be closed for the oncoming storm Pinky Murphys gave us and the dog a lovely welcome to their small but lovely cafe, the decoration was 50s style , even had an old vw beetle boot on the wall, very warm welcome and they couldn’t do enough for us, the coffee was lovely and hot and the cakes were beautiful. Thank you all very much

Had breakfast here one morning before going on the Hall Walk. Pinky Murphy's is on North Street heading towards the Bodinnick Ferry. Very friendly staff, and excellent scrambled eggs, thank you!

Very attentive service from the two ladies in the cafe. Good, different lunch menu. I had a jug of lemon and ginger infusion which was delicious.

a quirky little place we stopped off here and had a bacon bap and my wife had a lovely cream tea its a lovely little place

Lovely, quirky little place, food lovely, we sat outside. Only criticism would be slow service, coffee was cold by the time cake came. Good gluten free options

Friendly staff, enjoyed a hot drink and a cake. Children enjoyed a fat boy pinky (hot chocolate with cream, flake, gummy bears and chocolate), Nice informal atmosphere.

We had a marvellous cream tea here after a walk. Staff were lovely too. Like the unusual seating arrangements and crockery. Must go again.

What a stunning place!! Best mushrooms!! Loved it! Definitely would go again next year!! Staff were fantastic too!!

Very good food and lovely comfy chairs and sofas always a pleasure to eat there excellent hot chocolate. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Stumbled across this cafe on our first visit to Fowey today. A bit of a squeeze to fit five of us and a dog on the terrace at the front, but it was no problem, and we had a bit of a view of the river too. Very friendly and efficient staff, gorgeous Bakewell tart, delicious cheese scones, lovely coffees and hot chocolate - all our party were very happy with their choices. Would definitely recommend!

We used to come here a lot for brunch. I think it may have changed hands as the menu options are not as varied as i remember and this was reflected as it was nowhere near as busy as in previous years. They used to do English breakfasts, avacado and eggs etc. That said the staff are lovely and i had a great halloumi burger and nice milkshake. The clientale seemed to have changed from families and young people to pensioners having tea and cake which perhaps again is due to the reduced menu variety. The decor is still the same slightly off the wall funky style though that sets it apart. Location slightly out of town perhaps means people don't brave he traffic so much. Lovely comfy arm chairs and kids cartoons on TV, nice light airy boathouse and upstairs there is a bar with estuary views. Family friendly with changing room and highchairs.

we love going here when in this part of cornwall , a great small cafe with brillant cakes , a must if anyone visits fowey

We visited Pinky Murphy's for breakfast on a rainy day and it certainly is a quirky place! The decor is definitely kooky- maybe not my cup of tea but I'm sure there are people who love it.

The place looks great from the outside and is well furnished inside.

Very friendly and food is excellent. There is a TV for kids and Finding Nemo was on. Great atmosphere too.

6 of us topped here for breakfast by chance as were staying a few doors up the road. We arrived and were the only ones in there, within 5 mins about 20 people had come through the door. Obviously a busy place for tourists and a regular place for locals too. All the food was lovely, as were the staff. We enjoyed our visit that much we went back the next day for breakfast again! Highly recommended

We had a terrific cream tea just as they were closing. Very friendly staff. Enormous scones, lots of fruity jam and cream. Unusual decor. Recommend this place to anyone who visits Fowey.

Only stopped by for coffee, which was excellent. Loved the quirkiness of the place and wished we had discovered earlier.

This is a fab place. Really quirky decor. So much nicer than a run of the mill chain place. Service is brilliant and very friendly and the food is excellent. Huge portions!

Wonderful food and friendly service. We sat on the terrace with a view of the river. It was lovely and warm in the spring sunshine. The halloumi in a brioche bun was delicious and so was the cheesy nachos with creme fraiche and salsa.

We just love the relaxed, quirky atmosphere of Pinky's. We met some friends for a drink and felt very chilled which was just what we needed.

Perfect for everyone with little games for the kids whilst we enjoyed a fabulous coffee the service was excellent and we all enjoyed sitting round a table catching up !

Visited Fowey on a very wet Friday. Came across this little cafe and decided to give it a try. Very quirky decor nice and bright. Cheerful welcome from the two young ladies working there. This cafe is very dog friendly our little border terrier chihuahua cross Mabel was fussed over and given dog biscuits. The cream tea was great and just what we needed. Even though it was nearly closing time we were not made to feel rushed in the slightest and the staff were happy to have a chat about the cafe and the local area. Keep up the good work.

We always visit Pinky Murphy's when staying almost next door at Beam Reach. The coffee is good and the staff friendly.

We went in for hot drinks & carrot cake which was yummy reasonably priced & frindly staff it’s a nice individual cosy cafe

This is a hidden gem in Fowey. If walking on the high street there is a tendency to turn around when the shops end but keep going towards the ferry and this establishment rewards the excercise. Maria and Denise provide a very friendly welcome and laid back eatery. We visited several times and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. Dogs are more than welcome and the whole place leaves you relaxed. Will always head here when in Fowey.

excellent little cafe, extremely accommodating for us. A clean easy to use high chair brought to the table of our choice. Incredibly friendly service making us feel comfortable, we both ordered cream tea and we haven’t stopped talking about it since. Delicious! We highly recommend Pinky Murphys!

Great food and fun venue. Staff very friendly. We had a great breakfast and lemon cake. Dog friendly. Will be back.

After wandering around Fowey for an hour or two a cup of tea was wanted and having passed this cafe earlier we decided to give it a try. Friendly, welcoming people and an eclectic, quirky setting which also was very dog friendly. Lovely big pot of tea and delicious,apparently, home made cakes, reasonably priced. A most enjoyable visit.

Visited Fowey recently and stopped for a drink at this little cafe. On entering staff were very welcoming and made fuss of our dog ( this is one way to make us feel very welcome). Had tea and some of there lovley cakes and whiled away half an hour in very pleasant surroundings. Definitely one to visit if you are in Fowey.

Called around lunchtime mid June on a not too busy day after reading the mostly good reviews here. Daughter ordered something like a cheese and onion toasty and was told they were out of onion. Wife had ordered a pastie but after a few mins a different member of staff came back to say they were out of pasties... what no pasties in a Cornwall eatery! She offered an alternative of a cheese and onion toasty. We had to remind her we knew they were out of onion.

This cafe is awesome. Very quirky and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and cook an amazing breakfast. I love my coffee(a bit of a coffee snob) and have to say the coffee here was incredible. I very highly recommend this cafe

Delicious sandwich for lunch, dog friendly, good service and lots to look at in this fun and interestingly decorated cafe.

Visited after a gap of about 3 years & was delighted to find it's still excellent. The food, coffee & ambience were all first rate. Plus it's still dog friendly.

Lovely relaxed cafe. Take your dog and do some knitting! Great pkace to chill out for a while. Warm and inviting hosts. Slightly limited menu but well presented and reasonable.

Called in this cheerful little cafe today, we were soaking wet and had with us an equally soaking wet Labrador, we were welcomed in, our dog was given a dog mat and we were drinking steaming hot coffee and eating delious cakes within minutes! The friendly staff and atmosphere brightened up day ... thank you

Had simple cream tea here which was just perfect! Decorated in a beautiful way with real character (some would say quirky but it works really well). Staff were really friendly. Highly recommended.

Came across this cafe by chance and had a superb brunch here. Hubby had a bacon bap and I had scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms. All freshly cooked and good quality ingredients. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and quirky interior with lots of memorabilia on show. Would recommend.

Came here a couple of times. A little away from the main street, but so handy for our apartment. Quite steep steps up, but there is a hand rail.

Dropped in for a hot chocolate and sat on the sofa and sank in to our drinks. Lovely atmosphere and very relaxing.

Just minutes away from the center - harbor front of wonderful Fowey. I just came across it walking around saw the menu board outside and said to myself this is for me. As the weather was so good i took a table outside ordered my cream tea wow wow was id yummy yummy it certainty was so so good so tasty, i chatted to one of the super lovely lady`s whom was super wonderful. Please please visit for your most wonderful cream tea.

Great quirky atmosphere, superb and friendly service, good menu, situated away from the centre of fowey but worth the extra few steps to get there. Will visit again.

Pinky Murphy as the name suggests is a little quirky . Its just a fun place to go for a light brekkie or a cream teas in particular. No full English here but a bacon roll , beans on toast , eggs with salmon and crumpets are all on the menu . The staff are lovely. The cakes very good and there’s even a basket of knitting or board games that you can amuse yourself with on a rainy day .

Very quirky, with great service, stopped on the way back to the car after not finding anything at a decent price in the main area. Quite a happy accident really, because it was really nice, with fun miss matched vintage China, and a great selection of food. Never heard of a crumpwich (if I remember rightly!!) But it was really nice. Forget the overpriced eateries around the front area, and pay them a visit, we definitely will go back next time!

We had an excellent lunch here in great surrounding Staff were brilliant Food was top notch Thoughly enjoyable experience

We stopped here to have a cream tea (only I had substituted the tea for prosecco). Really friendly staff who chatted with everyone. The decor is so off the wall with a bit of an Elvis theme going on in one corner and brightly coloured throws and cushions everywhere. This was a really nice laid back place to stop after a walk around Fowey.

Came across this great cafe sat at one of the two available bistro tables outside perched above the street in a small patio area with lovely views. Great views across the estuary from the top floor. Ordered two cream teas beautifully light with a full strawberry and jam pot with cream nicely presented. Friendly staff. £5.25 each including a large pot of tea several cups. Clean quirky cafe. Parking along the same street so no walking up and down the hill!

The servers were really friendly and engaged. My family members really enjoyed the platters. A steak pastie was really disappointing- the pastry was rubbery, the filling was dry, which is a shame for Cornwall which is know for pasties.

Quirky, delicious and friendly. Even better than we remembered before. And welcoming to dogs too! We liked the pasties, pots of tea and home made cakes. If it’s full downstairs don’t be put off, there is room upstairs.

We had passed Pinky Murphy's many times in the past before eventually trying it out this year. It is small and quirky inside but the coffee & cakes on sale are worth a visit and get there early in the day/afternoon if you want to catch the sun and a seat outside. The staff are really cheerful and nice and overall a its good place (when its not full!) to grab a snack and short break - kids (and some adults) will like the noughts and crosses game on the tables inside too.

Great service friendly staff with a lovely view sitting out side. To enjoy our cream tea Would definitely return

This place is nuts. There is no theme, it is just a quirky crazy mixture of stuff. If you like clean lines and uniformity in your restaurants then this is definitely not for you. We however, love the eccentricity and more importantly the food is really good.

Had seen this cafe advertised,and walked past it a few times during our stay in Fowey. It had a buzz and was packed, one time with a “ full up” sign outside! We eventually got a table, after several turns up and down the street. Well worth the wait! Lots of Elvis memorabilia and music, local papers to read , friendly staff,and lots of local patrons, what’s not to like? Tea and cakes good,too! Tried to pop in later in week, but another queue, so will have to come back Next year!,

Tiny cafe squeezed into narrow North Street, Pink Murphy’s is friendly and fun. Sit outside under the tropical beach umbrella and you can watch the world go by on the street or on the river.

Love this place. Arrived 10 mins late for breakfast, they stop serving at 11.30! :-( Chose crumpets coffee and juice. Sat outside watching the world go by. Quirky pretty cafe serving good food with nice happy service.

Situated just away from the madding crowd in Fowey, Pink Murphy's is the perfect place for lunch. It has a very quirky interior, first class staff & excellent service. The sandwiches and salads were delicious and we spent a very pleasant time there. Highly recommended.

Found this place on the last day of our holiday The quirky signs ins in the cafe are great talking points Shame we found this on the last day however will definitely visit the next time we are in Fowey

Very quirky place on the main street along the river. Very welcoming and we loved the furnishings- very comfortable. The menu selections were good for a cafe and the food tasty.

Pinky’s was just two doors down from our holiday rental so we had to pop in.

Super bon tout simplement. Les scones étaient frais et moelleux comme il faut. La crème était fournie en juste quantité et la confiture est maison. L’endroit est chouette et la deco tres sympa !

Very disappointing menu , having been a regular at Pinky’s for over 8 years as a local and previous shop owner , I visited for the 1st time in a year and a half the last Owner Jane sold a few years ago ... the menu was awful no real choice , catering towards families and children not professional adults and with no thought for decent food on the menu . Previously had panini‘s with great fillings and large breakfast choice smoked salmon etc ... not basic food like a cheese sandwich ! Wouldn’t go back !

We sat upstairs at “Elton John” table and had a great lunch! Lovely friendly staff and superb food - Brie and cranberry sandwich, cheese and chorizo sandwich and smoked salmon bagel were all very tasty. Highly recommended.

I had breakfast here with my boyf and the dog and had a great experience.

We visited with our dog, had the scramble eggs with smoked salmon, very nice and really good coffee. Friendly laid back relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit.

Friendly staff, good food and a nice cup of coffee. Nice to sit outside and just chill. Had breakfast here most mornings.

Ignore the few bad reviews! This place is a hidden gem! A quirky little cafe nestled into a tight little Main Street, which adds character to this lovely place. Service was fast and efficient and we had our drinks and food within a few minutes. We also asked to move due to the sun being too hot outside and this was no problem and the staff were happy to help. We chatted to one of the staff members outside for 5-10 mins which gave a lovely friendly feel to the place! Will definitely visit again!

Stopped here for a cream tea on our way back to Boddinick. Friendly service and good food. Not accessible for people with mobility issues.

we stopped here and had scones and tea and a platter and sandwiches. kids had hot chocolate. Its a hidden gem. Friendly efficient staff and a lovely quirky decor throughout. highly recommend this place.

Stopped here for some breakfast and sat outside with our dog, love that it’s dog friendly and it’s such a quirky little cafe. Had scrambled eggs and it was a nice portion and very tasty. Good reasonable prices and nice amount to choose from, would return.

We visited twice in our week's holiday as this is a real gem in Fowey! The good publicity about Pinky Murphy's is all true. The cyder with the cream tea is local and good, and the scones, jam and cream lovely. If you should happen to be 'stressed' in Fowey, and we can't imagine why that should be so, just 5mins. in here will put everything right! The quirky signs around the walls provide extra entertainment. There is seating on two floors plus an outside terrace.

This is an attractive, eclectic place; just off the Main Street in Fowey. The staff are great but the food, for me, only average. But my wife thought it was great, so what do I know! A friendly place and they deserve to do well.

We stumbled on this cute cafe whist having a browse around Fowey. The staff were extremely lovely, especially the Yorkshire lady who took time to fuss our small dog and chat to us. We ordered lunch and beverages and enjoyed them whilst perusing the terrific surroundings inside the cafe. The day we visited it was misty and drizzling rain so we had to eat indoors, but there are a couple of outdoor patio tables.

Super little place a mish mash of chintz ,pop art and coastal but it works . Home made cakes and savouries made to order . Range of drinks to suit all . Tiny outside area lots of seating indoors - dog friendly . Lovely owners Maria and Denise and super staff , relaxed vibe no worries no hurry !

This is a great quirky little cafe in North Street, Fowey, just 2 minutes walk from the town centre.

I stopped by for a quick coffee and cake before enjoying the ferry and tackling the climb the other side on my bike. Received a friendly welcome and pleasant service and the scone with jam and cream I had was the best I have ever tasted! Warm, fresh and soft and the extras so delicious!

Hunt this place out as it's a little bit off the beaten track.If you park at the ferry and walk in to the town centre you can't miss it.

Popped in today, Cream Tea, comfy sofa, very friendly staff....scrummy food, plenty of choice, we were stuffed with the Scones, Jam and cream....The cakes did look tempting.

Great little find off the tourist trail served hot scones for cream tea which were absolutely delicious - will definately be back!
