Poldhu Beach Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The food here is excellent and freshly prepared. We all ordered the bacon, Brie, and cranberry panini, and it did not disappoint. Everything was made to order, and the wait time was just right. It was exactly what we needed after a busy few hours of surf lessons at the school next door.

My family have used this beach cafe several times and are thoroughly impressed with everything that is on offer. It truly is the best ever traditional beach cafe. From the ice creams, with various specialties, through coffees and hot chocolate, everything is excellent. The English Breakfast is excellent value but, for the smaller appetite, the bacon bap or sausage bap are perfect. Pasties are available too! There are also standard beach-fare items on sale, but Poldhu Beach Cafe own brand items are worth looking at. The staff are always charming and helpful. Overall, it’s a real gem!

Amazing coffee and I can highly recommend the Poldhu Mega Breakfast Bap! We will definitely return here. It's a super spot and clearly very popular.

Absolutely Gorgeous beach . Nice little cafe with customer wifi . Very friendly staff . Hired body boards there and spent a very relaxed few hours. Would definitely return

Staff extremely friendly and helpful and the food is cooked well. A Great selection of ice cream and various hot chocolate drinks. Great place to chill

Great little beach cafe, open 363 days a year! Can’t comment on breakfast menu as never been there early enough. Lunchtime Panini various available plus chips and cheesy chips also chicken or fish burgers. All very good.

Excellent, welcoming and friendly service! Would definitely recommend 😊. Tasty coffee and hot chocolates on a nice beach with beautiful views!

Great little cafe serving amazing range of food and drinks. Open an impressive 363 days a year!! Perfect as you walk along the coastal path for a break.

A lovely gem of a corner of Cornwall. A regular for myself and the family to take the dog in the winter months and have lazy beach days in the summer. Great cafe offering a range of yummy hot and cold treats. Open everyday! Pizza night on a Friday is great with live music. Breakfast, lunch and fancy hot chocolates! From a local who visits very regularly - it’s great to visit whatever the weather.

Morgens eine kleine Strandwanderung und dann ein echtes full-british Frühstück, auch vegetarisch möglich. Super Kaffee, sehr nette Leute. Schlemmen mit Blick auf das Meer, direkt am Strand.

Wonderful views. beach and great location with parking. Nice staff and food available. Great to sit and watch the sea and relax.

Fab cafe, been lots of times when on holiday, dog friendly, outside seating only, food looks good, but did not eat, friendly staff

Great,high quality, real full English Breakfast, while watching the waves, the beach, horses, surfers, dogs playing. Very friendly

We have always used this cafe when in Cornwall and found the food and drinks lovely and a great variety. The shop is lovely. The hot chocolates are surely famous. We hope to be back soon. X x x

Fabulous food in a great beach front setting. We phoned back re lost sunglasses and staff were so helpful. We will return as it’s so lovely,

Lovely cafe on the sands at a beautiful beach with a lovely walk to it. The coffees were great but the hot chocolates out of this world. I opted for the hot choccie with maltesers and cream topping it… it did not disappoint!

Wonderful beach cafe where we had sausage and egg baps (one meat and one vegetarian) and delicious coffees. Perfect stopping place when walking the coastal path.

Visited the cafe twice on a recent holiday, once on a beach day and the other at one of their pizza and music nights. Both were great experiences with friendly and helpful staff, great food, atmosphere and a shop full of many tempting things to buy! A great place to visit and up there with one of my favourites in Cornwall.

Great little shop, always come for drinks and love their merchandise every year on annual family holidays. Lovely staff and got all the essentials for a beach day

Love this place, every time i'm in this part of the world I will call in for a cuppa, (3 or 4 times a year). Always made to feel welcome, a great bite to eat with a good cuppa on a lovely beach. What more can you ask for?

As a long time fan of the cafe we came away feeling really ripped off today. Tiny portions of seriously overpriced and poor quality frozen chips, no flavour and full of oil. Priced at what you’d pay for decent quality hand cut chips in a pub or restaurant but just the worst example of chips I’ve eaten for years. Please don’t start to rip people off with food that I cannot believe you could possibly feel proud to serve. We love the cafe and don’t want to come away feeling like this.

We found this smashing cafe on our way to the holiday cottage we had booked. What a find. The staff are so lovely and friendly and the food they serve is fabulous. OK its not haute cuisine but who can complain about the generous portions of yummy chips - all golden and crispy on the outside and all lovely and floury on the inside, the miriad of locally produced flapjacks and bakes,and the the spicy and warming soup. Then saving the best for last we stopped off before we headed home for the bestest veggie patty in a bun ever. The cafe is practically on the beach and of course doggie friendly. Thank you to all you lovely people at Poldu beach cafe. We have booked the same cottage for this time next year so we can enjoy visiting you again. Can't wait.

Fantastic little beach cafe. Very easy parking that's not visible from the beach. Amazing hot chocolates and the best chai latte ever. The food is fantastic. Vegetarian and vegan available. The range of clothing is lovely, especially the bobble hat's. They really are exceptional, with...

The cafe has a great position over looking the beach and a good stop over for two cups of tea which where served In plastic cups. We also brought two very small cakes which where supposed to be crumble but in fact where more like...

Great cafe on the beach at Poldu cove. Menu good. Food outstanding - sunny Alfresco dining with stunning views. Highly recommend.

Quaint beach cafe with a good menu for location. On our second visit they had run out of food with the exception of chips! Staff are friendly.

It was great to get a cup of tea whilst watching my family surfing! Staff are friendly and even have picnic tables!

Only visited for a short while...had a coffee, service was quick, coffee was good...managed to get a seat. Nice little cafe in the cove. Toilets in the car park a short walk away from the beach.

What a cafe had 2 breakfast there and would thoroughly recommend the baps. Main thing is they never fall apart not matter how many ingredients are in them, and whatever you do have the hash browns. Amazing

Staff very friendly, food and drinks great quality. Big selection of snacks, cakes etc They have pizza nights and music and ideally situated for beach and actrivities

Snacks and drinks served at this little cafe overlooking the beach. Outside seating only but we had such great weather in March this year.

Was quiet when we visited on a Monday afternoon about 3.30pm. We parked right across the street from the beach and had a wander before we decided to get a hot chocolate. I had the chocolate orange hot chocolate and it was very tasty. Plenty...

Very handy as right on the beach. Friendly staff served a good range of hot snacks and food - we went twice and had the mulled wine and cider as well as fancy hot chocolate. Also had the chicken and fish burgers (being greedy we...

Great hot chocolates right on the beach. Lovely on a sunny October day! Worth a visit if you are in the area - a varied menu!

You can get hot and cold food, really good coffee and ice creams. Would recommend. Also good for surfers.

Great little beach cafe and ok it is a bit overpriced but hey it’s still worth it and a must is Friday night pizza night sat listening to music eating pizza and drinking a beer or two. Pizzas are not the biggest in the world...

Staying at the exquisite Bochym Manor cottages and a 10 minute trip to Poldhu beach & cafe just make a trip to Cornwall!

The cafe was nicely positioned on the beach.We visited after a cliff walk from mullion cove.Wasn’t much to choose from on the menu and found it quite expensive but expected that with being on the beach.Ordered 4 sausage batches at £3.70 I think each and the batch wasn’t even buttered so very dry! £6 for a chicken burger.chips and cheese nice plenty of cheese.

Stopped here for breakfast this morning whilst we were staying in Mullion Cove. Saw this Cafe on Instagram and had to check it out!! WOW, totally worth a visit!! Staff were super friendly and really helpful with allergens. Food was just amazing, view couldn’t of been any better. Thank you

Amazing service.. Amazing location.. Amazing menu.. Literally everything about this cafe is just AMAZING!!Hot chocolates are to die for.. The best I've ever had!Sat on the beach with your choice from the menu.. Perfect! 20 out of 10 from us! We will be back!! Xx

Real friendly staff, serving great food. Great Kelly’s ice-cream. Have a great seating area, on a beach that has some beautiful views and walks.

Great Flatwhite and hot choc, but the chips tasted undercooked and the pasty wasn't the best either. Good location right on the beach and decent covid procedures in place.Would stop here for a drink again. Easy to get to from the car park and also benefits from public toilets.....a rarity these days

The cafe is right on the beach with parking opposite. The pasties are delicious. Lots of choice with teas / coffees. Lovely.

A terrific little cafe and shop to buy/ rent your beach attire and grab some yummy food and a hot chocolate once you’re out of the sea. We visited in October and were really well looked after throughout our week...Thank you 👍

Poldhu Beach café is set in a lovely location but being local it’s not a place I use often, and today I was reminded of the reason why. Although they provide a lot of sugary drinks and very basic beachside food, their prices are very expensive for what your getting. Today I bought a coffee and I was disgusted to find that the price I was paying for my drink was not the price advertised on the board. I asked for soya so therefore I had to pay 50p more. I think it’s quite disgusting in this day and age that people with an allergy have to pay more for a basic drink. Every establishment should provide an alternative to dairy for their customers and not charge them more for it.. Other milk like Coconut is fair enough but not for a basic milk. When I queried this, what appeared to be young manager on shift explained that because he has to pay more for the milk therefore we should pay more. He explained that he paid £2 for a carton of soya milk and £1 for dairy milk and this was a reasonable explanation. I disagree. I don’t know where he is buying his soya milk from but I’ve never come across it for £2 a carton. Prices range from high end of £1.59 to lower end of 59p. Should us customers therefore have to pay 50p extra so we can enjoy a basic coffee just because we have an allergy? I think it was a disgusting excuse to make more money off people who are vulnerable. And they do this without even advertising so you don’t realise you’re going to get ripped off until the very last moment. From now on they’ve lost a customer like many they probably have before. If they weren’t charging for soymilk more people would go and buy drinks and they would make more profit, but they don’t realise that. Instead they lose the customer’s entirely and the milk doesn’t get used, not very good business savvy. Not supportive towards their hole customer base.

Really great location, lovely food and amazing hot chocolate. What more can be said we really love this place. Been here twice and would highly recommend it after both visits.

Great little cafe on the beach. Really good hot chocolates, my partner also had a pasty which looked delicious.

Well stocked cafe and near the beach and the toilets. Good choice of herb teas. The lemon and pistachio g-f cake was delicious.

What could be better than a Cornish beer and a Cornish pasty or bacon bap sitting comfortably, overlooking the beach?The food was good, freshly prepared and served with a smile.The car park has been extended and is only a few yards away as are the public conveniences. Covid precautions are Adhered to.

Love this little cafe. First visit since lockdown the weather was good so Poldhu was packed with holiday makers. There were clear signs instructing everyone on how to approach and order food/drink. From what I saw my husband and I were the only people to follow the instructions. As soon as we got our food we went for a walk along the cliffs to escape the crowds.

One of the best bacon baps I have ever had, perfect way to start off a day mucking about in the sea.

I am local and this is my favourite cafe to get a Hot Chocolate. In the summer the pizzas on Friday are also a must!

Great cafe, in beautiful location. Good range of foods, really enjoyed our pasties.would recommend and will definitely return.

First night of our holiday was superb! Pizzas ordered online and then accompanied by live Cornish music! Just perfect!

£4.95 for a pastie?? The whole of our order was overpriced. This is take away sizes and all deep fried cheap frozen standard food not home cooking people (well maybe the pastie??)...you all want tourists to support local businesses....where is your frozen food from?Everywhere we went on this Cornish holiday people were moaning about 'all the bloody Londoners' coming down...well stop charging London prices for sub standard food . And we know Covid has caused much confusion..but don't you think you could provide some shade for all your customers having to queue up along the hot sand...you had a huge pile of unused umbrellas right there...customer service??

Went to this beach a couple of times. The cafe had organised good distancing measures and food was quick. The kids really enjoyed the variety of hot chocolates on offer. The pasties were seriously good and the chicken & chips/fish & chips were delicious.

What can I say - they serve a good cup of tea. They have a very extensive menu and good facilities. We hired surf boards from here - great fun!

Excellent pizza at Poldhu, great service and amazing location. Can’t wait to come back for our birthday treat next year!

Stormy winter walk to Poldhu beach. Called at the cafe for home chocolate. One of our family has a severe nut allergy and these guys could not have been more helpful. Went above and beyond to make sure that the drink and snack was safe - huge thank you to them. Not our first time here and definitely not our last either. Predictably good. Great coffee, great hot chocolate and amazing cake. Staff are really friendly and helpful.Highly recommend.

I can't fault this beach it was so beautiful and the sun was shining which made it even better I didn't get chance to have a hot chocolate but I will be next time.

Absolutely love this place. Staff great and food amazing. Hot chocolate to die for. Family and dog friendly.

Right on the glorious Poldhu Beach,this place is open all year round. They do a sensationally good breakfast. Whats more, at lunchtime among other things you can get the same fantastic meal but in a (very large!) bun. Great staff and a welcoming owner.

We visited the beach at the end of January to take the dog for a run, and popped in for a warming coffee and a sausage bap and bacon roll. Both were excellent with the added benefit of friendly and welcoming staff.

This beach is breathing and so clean. A little bit of Cornish paradise. Would definitely recommend. It's only a short 30 minute walk from Mullion and most definitely worth it. The cafe is clean and well priced, with the Hot Chocolates being something else!!

Great little cafe on the beach. Very friendly staff and a great tasty bacon roll and cuppa. Very reasonable prices

Great place to grab a coffee or superb hot chocolate on the beach at Mullion. Couldn’t ask for a better location...oh and they do great cakes!

Great little cafe fantastic spot right on the beach and the beach is amazing Food is gone cooked and coffee is really good love this little place

I think our family has bought virtually every type of hat at Poldhu beach café. AMAZING HOT CHOCOLATE and food.

The Cove at Poldhu is stunning and right at the top there is the most amazing cafe, that serves delicious food to eat in or take away. Tables outside so you can sit and enjoy the amazing views. Excellent service too.

We visited the café after trying unsuccessfully to find a dog friendly restaurant nearby for lunch and we are so glad we did. The café is in a great location on the beach and was very welcoming to us and to our dog, plus the food was great and competitively priced. We heartily recommend it and will be definitely be returning when we are in the area - thank you.

We arrived just before closing and had tea and a delicious cake. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We sat overlooking the beach and it was warm enough to stay fof the sunset.

Had breakfast here every morning of our weeks holiday. And then had a walk along the beach afterwards. Staff friendly, food cooked fresh to order and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Food great,view fantastic. Staff great and very helpful. Had breakfast there every morning even when it rained. Starts the morning off perfectly. Sorry to be leaving today But back in April.

We went here to try the beach with our pooch & saw this cute little cafe on the beach. We always like a hot drink & a cake & couldn't resist the offerings here. I had a delicious curly wurly hot choc & a scrummy salted caramel shortcake Mmmmm!! Hubby likes coffee but couldn't resist a crunchie topped tiffin yum! We had the most fantastic view of the beach while we tucked in. Then we had to enjoy a walk on the beach to try to walk off a few calories :0) Staff were really friendly & they are open all year round & do lots of other scrummy food so we will be back!

I must have eaten on a bad day. Ordered the Cornish beef burger with salad at £6.00 i was expecting something amazing. but no, cheap burgers, 2 bits of lettuce and i bit of tomato.So so disappointed. Ordered chips as well £3.00 not the best, not a lot of taste to them. Coffee was good. Don't think i would eat there again

Great morning at Poldhu. Went for drinks at the beach cafe. Found it welcoming and coffee was good quality if a little too strong but asked for more milk and it was readily supplied. A regular from now on!

Hidden away in Poldhu Cove is the Little Poldhu Beach Cafe. With seating outside literally on the beach, in the sand dunes and overlooking the cove there are few places that give such an amazing outlook. Quite a bit to choose from but we went for a couple of burgers. Later in the afternoon we went back for tea and a hot chocolate too.

We head here each year for a hot chocolate after a walk over from Church Cove, or sometimes use Poldhu as a base to walk to Mullion. Stunning walks between stunning beaches. The cafe is good but is a little overpriced. Great views.

We stopped here to use the wifi and grab a coffee after an hour pottering about the rockpools. Wow ... it was the best coffee I've tasted outside of London! The food looked good too - I'll try it next time!

Came here every day as they have great service, good food and drinks with a fabulous location. Plenty of tables to sit at plus a surf school

We visited the Lizard on a beautiful;sunny afternoon.We intended parking on the NT car park and walking down the slope/ steps to the beach. What a surprise we had.

When Our daughter and family came to stay, we all went for a fabulous breakfast on the beach at Poldhu Beach Cafe, So good we went back the next morning! Perfect - this could become a habit!!

Very friendly staff and good beach food and coffee. Our 8 year old dropped his ice cream on the sand (!) and the staff replaced it for free! Cakes amazing. The cafe / service, beach and surf school are a great combination and made us return.

Visited this beach several times as it was our local area for the week. The hot chocolate's were a bit much for what they are and when I did get one it was barely warm and had nearly double the height of the cup in cream! We sat inside and had breakfast one morning, I had the large breakfast and was quite happy it to be fair, was just like you would expect for the price. The food came out within minutes and looked very fresh, my partner enjoyed her breakfast and we then went on to come back for beers later. I would recommend checking this place out if you are in the area

We visited here on Sunday morning & were really impressed by the service & the attitude of the staff. It was quite busy & we sat inside & had a couple of breakfasts, then we spent an hour sitting outside with a couple of their ‘Poldhutastic’ Hot Chocolates. Lovely little beach & I would like to return one evening & enjoy the Live Music & Pizza night that they were advertising

I visit this cafe regularly and we always get a warm welcome and service with a smile.

Stopped here whilst the wife had a surf lesson, I decided to sample the cakes and drinks on offer.

Interesting hot chocolates and coffee. Wide selection of food which looked tempting!! Plenty of benches and seating overlooking the beach.

Great service, smiley friendly staff despite being busy. Lovely hot chocolates and coffees, didn’t eat but the pizzas looked good. Beautiful beach, great for kids. Sadly beach not dog friendly but cafe is.

What a fantastic place ... great coffee and pizza. Beach packed and very friendly staff who do a great job making you feel welcome every time :) keep going

We had a well earned pot of tea here as a break from the coastal path walk. Service was a little slow but we enjoyed the sit down and cafe ambience.

we had a lovely afternoon on this beach.very clean.a lively cafe with great food.carnt wait 2 go back again.

Parking and roads to it is a nightmare. But best and easiest to get too out of all we visited.. not coming back again cornwall us left downbut its accommodation of caravan sites

We had a very good breakfast here which exceeded our expectations. Very quick service and great value for money. Dog was very welcome too.

ganz normales Strandcafe in Top Lage, mehr nicht. Es gibt das Übliche, Eis, Kuchen, Kaffee, aber nur Dosenbier....

Chips and ice cream on the beach - done perfectly as always - we really love visiting Poldhu beach and cafe!

We stayed not far from here and had read the reviews about this place, lovely beach, great setting and we had a very tasty full english breakfast and mug of tea - I can see why is it so popular, definately will be back again.

Staying in Mullion. Went to visit beach here and enjoyed some time at this café. As well as ice cream and drinks, they sold these unusual hot chocolate combinations such as the one I tried consisting of Reese's cups. Not good for my diet, but good for my holiday.

Used to come to this beach every year on holiday when children were young, back after 7 year break we headed down to the beach today. What a lovely surprise to find that the cafe is at last reaching the potential we always felt it had. Lots of seating with umbrellas if required, lovely greeting from friendly staff, ordered veggie breakfast coffee and hot chocolate with cream (bit too early for the peanut butter cup special!) it was brought to us with a smile and all absolutely delicious!! Went back later for lovely ice creams, treated like valued customers. Will be back tomorrow for that hot chocolate and the pimms ice lolly hubby told me about on way to holiday cottage! Wish all at cafe much deserved success

This is my local beach and the cafe really is fabulous . View to die for whilst munching through best beach cafe food ever, try the iced coffee with vanilla shot and cream on top alongside either a full English or bacon, maple and cream cheese bagel, OMG heavenly. So come on guys, come down and see for yourself
