Salty Dog Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Recently visited for breakfast & found that this could be an amazing place; however, we didn’t find the staff very welcoming and the cleaning standards in the dining room are not up to scratch. There was food debris on the window sills next to the tables and the floor again needed a sweep. The tables were clean, so I would presume that the crumbs are just being wiped onto the surrounding surfaces rather than being caught and disposed? The cushions also need a clean as they have marks on them. The food itself was very good value for money & was served quickly and tasted fresh. I think the owners of this establishment would be disappointed that their employees are not keeping the cleaning and hospitality standards high.

We visited from work for a cheeky breakfast.I had Bacon, poached eggs on toast and 2 cappuccinos. Everything was just perfect. The cappuccinos were moreish, the bacon was slightly crisp the way I like it, the poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the bread was good quality. The staff were friendly. Great place, great value, great food.

Rustic friendly cafe close to business estate near to coast in South East Cornwall. Friendly and well laid out. Specialising in breakfasts but other fayre available.

I had seen the cafe from the road and was looking forward to visiting. At first I was a little disappointed as the salty dog I was hoping to meet wasn’t in but soon found that the cakes the humans were eating were really nice. The staff humans were really nice too. I noticed dog ice cream on the menu and hope to try this on another visit. Would recommend a visit.

Lovely food, well cooked and lovely service. Definitely recommend. Dogs allowed too. Also beautiful views.

Wonderfully friendly road side café with great service, lovely view and excellent food. We will definitely be returning.

Bloody tasty small brekkie for me and large brekkie for my other half! Best sausages ever! Coffee also fab. Great location. Be back soon.

An amazing little cafe with superb service and the food was freshly prepared and great value! Very welcoming and dog friendly! If you are passing or in the area then give this place a go you will not be disappointed!

We have driven past this cafe on a few occasions and today was the day we finally stopped after a walk at Kingsand. Smaller cafe than I thought but friendly waitress and dog friendly. Things done perfectly- delicious homemade cakes and scones, large mugs of proper tea and rich yummy coffee. Prices are very reasonable too and we will definitely be back to try the other meals on offer, especially breakfast. Thank you.

On our way to Mount Edgecumbe and thought we would call in . Small cafe on an industrial estate . All tables were full but 2 local ladies allowed us to sit with them . Great conversation but not intrusive . Food arrived , just as ordered , and the local ladies spoke amongst themselves whilst we ate . I probably should not mention price but it was a lot less than I had thought . I had thought of captioning this review as "So lovely " because that it what it was .

Excellent service. Food was delicious (best chips ever!) and tables were nice and clean. Cafe decor really nice and quirky. Parking easy.

Lovely food and lovely staff. Great prices and great atmosphere! Amazing presentation. Would highly recommend.

Lovely breakfasts very welcoming. From entering the cafe the service was fantastic. The staff were very pleasant.

Just had a family get together at the Salty Dog after scattering ashes. Couldn’t have been better. Staff were kind and attentive making us feel so welcome. The breakfasts were fabulous. Thank u all ⭐️

We ordered 2x Breakfast Large (Medium at best) 2 eggs, one under cooked and slimy, 2 bacon, over cooked like cardboard, 2x hash browns over cooked like biscuits, 2x sausages cooked spot on and was the best thing about the breakfast. Tomato and mushrooms were ok, 1 small piece of toast. The breakfast cost £9.95 each coffee was not included. Total cost for 2 breakfast's with coffee £25.10 Where I come from in Pembrokeshire I could get 3 LARGE breakfast with coffee for less.

Fresh food with a lovely view and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend a visit to this cafe, the whole family enjoyed it.

Stopped off for breakfast twice and wasn’t disappointed either time! First time we had the Big Salty (cooked breakfast), and second time the Light Salty (bubble and squeak with bacon and eggs). Both were excellent, and the waitresses really friendly and helpful. Nice to see...

This is a marvellous place to stop to have great homemade food, wonderful views over the Rame Peninsula, fantastic service (with a smile where nothing was too much trouble) and the prices were very reasonable. On top of this it’s dog friendly. Thank you -...

What a great find . Brilliant service and delicious food. Not only human friendly but dog friendly too. Highly recommend stopping here for breakfast.you won't be disappointed

Driving along from Tregantle beach towards Kingsand we stumbled across this lovely little cafe. Great location, over looking a field or 2 of sheep, lovely, fresh and affordable food and great staff! We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Friendly staff, good food and a nice relaxed atmosphere. A nice stop on the road while exploring the local area. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent menu, beautiful location and yes social distancing was still operational, very good value for money and I will be going back,

Lovely little restaurant and an excellent Breakfast. Lovely attentive staff and lovely views from the restaurant. Highly recommended.

I’ve passed the café many times so decided to pay a visit and was not disappointed. The breakfast was fantastic and staff were super friendly, attentive and professional. I shall definitely visit again - even bought a tea towel!!!

i was visiting the business park next to this small cafe/take away and when in Cornwall you stop and have a proper Cornish pasty it was hot and delicious .

If all cafes were like this then eating out would be a consistent pleasure ! We popped in, on the back of recent reviews for coffee and a sandwich- both the Deli and the Egg n Bacon baps were terrific, tasty, overfilled and reasonably priced....

Found by chance, great cooked breakfast, piping hot, latte nice and hot , lady serving very friendly and food arrived quickly, will definitely return when in the area.

Delicious lunch and lots of it beautifully presented food very welcoming and friendly staff Happy experience

Friendly!! Dog-friendly / family-friendly / couple friendly. The Salty Dog was a nice find. In a small industrial estate on a cliff top over Whtsand Bay - worth a diversion for good quality hearty food and lovely service. It’s food and service to put a...

Extremely tasty, well priced cooked breakfast. The food was freshly cooked to order and was a delicious full English . The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again to try some of the other tasty treats on offer

Enjoyed a lovely vegetarian breakfast, very cosy and welcoming. The food was top notch and would definitely come back again! The bubble and squeak was the best I've ever had! Big thanks to Dawn and Sophie!

It is one of those gems this place, its a bit different and the food fresh and very flavoursome and always a friendly place with customers and staff. A small varied menu and a very good one. The all day vegetarian breakfast is superb in...

Visited on Sunday (30/08) for the first time. Lovely little cafe situated just outside of Millbrook. Had a lovely breakfast which was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The milkshakes were equally good as well. Will be back again very soon!

What a fantastic place for breakfast or lunch. First day ate the salty dog breakfast which was super tasty nice sausage, large mushroom and egg. Second day had the chickpea curry with chips for dipping and it was delicious just enough spice and plenty of...

Had lunch here in August and really enjoyed it. Friendly staff, very dog-friendly, nice veggie breakfast served all day. Bit of a wait for food but we didn’t mind and the team knocked off the drink price because of this for us. I would definitely...

I’ll start off by saying that The Salty Dog *could* be one of those secret little hideaway gem cafes that mostly only the locals know about and try to keep to themselves but unfortunately *these* locals won’t be returning... The food is very decent and...

Popped in for lunch and scoffed a delightful BLT with side chips and a latte. Have been before on our annual holiday down here and this is a delightful little place - good, well prepared food and very friendly service. Well done people!!

Popped in for lunch today on our way back from Mount Edgcumbe, the food was excellent, it’s dog friendly and prices are reasonable. Very much recommend to those passing.

Had the Salty Dog recommended by friends and thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant and food. They state on the menu that they don't do fast food but they do fresh food as fast as they can. When the food came out it looked great with quality...

Stopped for breakfast after a recommendation. Excellent food and service. Good quality sausages and caters for all needs. Will certainly call in again

The best breakfast we’ve had as a family… we will be coming back to the restaurant when on holiday again! Great service - and AMAZING food!

Stopped at the Salty Dog for breakfast and we had the best breakfast of all our trip away. The sausages were delicious. Great quality breakfast would call there again.

One of the best all day breakfasts in these parts. Simple fare well prepared and plenty of options. Well worth a visit. Priced reasonably. You will want to return.

Stopped for an unexpected breakfast, have eaten here pre COVID. The food and service was lovely. We had the cooked breakfast which is very good value for money and excellent coffee.

Just great! I had pancakes, my other half had scrambled eggs - they even let us bring our dog inside - perfect!

The Food was absolutely amazing, we started every morning off here with our 2 dogs. I literally can’t rate the quality of food highly enough, the sausages are the best we’ve ever had.. everything is cooked fresh The Staff are super friendly & lovely with...

So pleased it is open again. Enjoyed a hearty, post walk, late breakfast. Very friendly staff and generous, tasty, portions. Highly recommended.

Popped in after a long 6 mile walk to some absolutely delicious lunch. We had the fish goujons and chicken goujons sub - both were great! The staff were very friendly and the cafe itself is very cosy! We will definitely be back when we’re next in the area :)

Currently sitting in the cafe having just enjoyed the chorizo flatbread, which I highly recommend. Lovely little place, wife was really impressed with the fresh tomato soup too. Dogs are made very welcome! We were offered free drinks for having to wait too long, which was exceedingly generous as we hadn't waited that long really. Anyway, we will be back!

A very friendly place with great service and adherence to Covid-19 was excellent. We had breakfast, I had a light salty dog veggie breakfast and the sweet potato bubble & squeak was delicious. I'm lactose intolerant so really appreciated the available oat milk.My husband had the enormous full English which was also very good. The countryside views were very calming and the Cornish pasty bakery next door seemed popular.

Just stopped i here for breakfast whilst we were on holiday. We were going to go to the orangery but there was a wedding on. We were so grateful we went here instead. Beautiful breakfast, tasty sausages and all cooked to perfection. Great table service, very polite and attentive waitresses. We will definetly be back!!

Fabulous breakfast on Saturday morning before our long trip home, would highly recommend. Very welcoming, had full breakfasts and one had pancakes. The nicest sausage I’ve had for a long time.

Six of us had breakfast and were served efficiently with great food at a reasonable price. Visited for first time a few weeks ago and will be back regularly . Thank you

Called in for breakfast when visiting family nearby and was very impressed with the cleanliness, friendly and efficient staff and delicious food. Good value for money and will definitely call again when in the area.

Very friendly staff and they are dog friendly too. Exterior clean portaloo for your convenience. Simply menu but plenty on the plate, recommend the loaded chips. Nice selection of cakes too!

Fantastic food, great service & lovely setting. This is not fast food, it’s great local produce cooked to perfection. I can’t recommend it enough. Make sure you book as it’s very popular.

Its basic food at value for money prices and lovely staff,would certainly come back again if in area as they also allow dogs.

A family favourite our lunches at The Salty Dog. The food is superb, presentation and taste spot on. Im glad someone else has mentioned the veggie hash which comes with the all day brunch,we love it! Also the vegan parcels are delicious and almost look too lovely to eat !The staff are very friendly and the place is kept meticulously clean. We rate and recommend The Salty Dog very highly.Thankyou.

Top notch food, great quality, more like restaurant food then cafe food. Can’t remember a better cup of coffee. Kids loved the food, milkshakes and ice cream. Bacon sandwich and omelette were delicious. Only fresh food and ingredients here from the fresh bread to tasty bacon, they clearly care about the quality and taste of their food here. Friendly service too. We had to go back one more time before we left the holiday. Highly recommended!!!

Really nice all round - food, ambience, service. Well worth a visit - we had a good visit on a wet windy afternoon.

Just by the side of the road.....next to Cornish Pod for excellent pasties too...is a very smart family run cafe. Very clean, fresh with happy staff to serve you what you want. Not the cheapest but then quality never was.

This place is a MUST visit. The food is exceptional and the staff welcoming, professional and first class. If you are near Millbrook and don't visit this place, you really are missing a trick. Thank you Salty Dog, we loved your food and hospitality.

The Salty Dog provides the best breakfast around! The food is amazing and always freshly cooked, and their veggie breakfast is brilliant. It was one of the places I missed most about lockdown! Cannot recommend the veggie hash that goes with the breakfast enough! Also, really friendly staff and nothing is too much trouble for them. Great little cafe, one of my favourites!

Very good food and dog friendly great cafe to go too. The cafe has a very good price for the quality of the food aswell 10/10

Very. Nice breakfast and friendly.booked a table for us .worth a visit we will be gong back .choice of food from sub rolls to cake and cream teas

Surprisingly very nice food. Expected general cafe style grub, but the menu wasn't what we expected. Staff friendly and prompt.

First time visiting and it wont be the last. Living locally we tend to drive past and never stop, but today we decided on breakfast out and thought we'd give it a go.Very friendly place, comfortable and a great cup of fresh coffee. Breakfast was of a high quality with mushrooms and tomatoes that actually tasted as they should! Sausages, eggs and bacon were of a really good quality. Everything was freshly cooked to order and we were pretty stuffed for most of the day following it.Great to have such a good quality place so close by.

Visited today (New Year's Day) pleasantly surprised to find open😊 Really Really busy, yet food not compromised on quality. Credit to the team for dealing well with the amount of custom today 👌

Our first visit since the new owners took over earlier in the year. We were pleased and made to feel welcome. The food was freshly cooked, hot, presentation superb and very tasty. Lovely coffee too. We enjoyed so much, taking my Dad there for lunch next week !

Take away hot drinks were fine BUT the bacon roll sub was very poor. Pre-over cooked bacon, very chewy, just bits not rashers. Served in a stale 6 inch sub. Plus expensive.

Only been there once, but the food was good. The Salty Dog is a popular eating place, although the menu had a limited selection for my fussy taste. Good location, near to Gallows Park, there must be some history to research about the location.

We have driven past the Salty Dog numerous times on our way to Cremyll or Mount Edgecumbe. This time we decided to stop for lunch on our way back home. It didn’t disappoint. We had eggs Benedict and a all day breakfast, both with coffee. All very good quality produce and hot fresh food with a smile. What more could you want? Reasonably priced though not cheap. Dogs welcome too inside. Would definitely recommend will definitely be back.

Was on the way to Mt. Edgecombe and we had some time to kill , both feeling a bit peckish and happy to find somewhere open on a wet, chilly Sunday morning. We had 2 hot drinks , attack of pancakes and the veggie breakfast. I heard a nearby chap saying the place had recently been taken over and he was moaning about the change in black pudding .... I have to say to the new owners , the food was lovely , they were friendly and my coffee was a good one . A quick mention of the really nice bubble and squeak and field mushrooms.We always keep a list of places we will return to and the Salty Dog will see us again.

The coffee was very good and so was the service - I can't fault either. The food is not as good as it could be - we had cooked breakfasts - the eggs were fried quickly, i.e.overcooked underneath and undercooked on top, the bacon was dry and burnt, the hash browns were the frozen type that tasted like the oil needed changing, the extra black pudding I ordered had an odd flavour to it, like minty. The beans came in a small pot, why? The sausage was tasty but undercooked - the mushroom dry and flat. It all felt a bit rushed - even though there was a statement saying they don't do fast food, so as a customer my expectation was that it would take a bit of time but at least be right. It wasn't cheap either. We ate most of it but it's probably our first and last visit.

great dog cafe very friendly great food very good menu plenty of it staff were very friendly when ther twice

We had breakfast in this cafe twice whilst on holiday. It's a lovely light and airy cafe with gorgeous views over the local countryside. My husband had the veggie breakfast on both visits, which he thoroughly enjoyed. My first breakfast was the bubble and squeak with a poached egg and streaky bacon. My second breakfast was the full Salty Dog breakfast. All the breakfasts were perfectly cooked, nicely presented and very very tasty. The tea and coffee were good too. We really enjoyed both visits to this cafe and will certainly call again the next time we were on holiday in the area. The waitress was friendly and gave everyone a cheery hello when customers entered. This cafe is well worth a visit. We called there before returning home after our holiday. It was a lovely relaxed way to finish the holiday and sent us home after a delicious relaxed breakfast.

Had a veggie breakfast today. Everything was perfectly cooked: mushrooms, eggs, hash browns, tomato, really nice bubble and squeak. The Salty Dog was a lovely surprise.

Popped in the way to Cawsand for ‘coffee n cake’. We have been before (last year) and it was always good but there seems to have been a change for the better. I had Blackwell Tart, the pastry was wonderful, thin, delicate and flavoursome, the filling yummy and nicely baked. My companion selected lemon Meringue, she was not disappointed. Staff were fab.

Had a lovely brunch outside in the sunshine. Sour dough bread a welcome option.

Great place, great food, great service and great decor .. we had the breakfast on a Saturday morning and it ticked all the boxes, recommenced ... just a small warning it does get busy at this time but that’s a good sign right!!

Just had a really great lunch , everything freshly prepared. The Bacon Brie and cranberry toasties were lovely. Would highly recommend a visit

My second visit in just over a month. New owners are lovely, food great as always. Dog friendly and kid friendly

We had a lovely stop here. The lunch menu is small but our sandwiches were delicious, generously filled and beautifully presented. The cake we treated ourselves too for afters was fabulous and the service lovely and friendly. Definitely recommended.

Stopped off at the Salty Dog Cafe, just for a coffee but seeing the menu we ended up having a really delicious lunch. We loved the homemade fish finger sandwiches with side salad and tasty dressing. My daughter who is vegan was offered a special off the menu dish of Chickpea curry which was also very good. Staff really friendly and helpful. We will certainly be back for more!!! Thank you.

Lovely place with great food and excellent coffee. Best of all were the home made chips which were fantastic!

Having heard good comments about this treasure decided to give it a try, what a fantastic place, friendly staff and food to die for. Very efficient speedy service.

If you’re in the area try it. We had an absolutely fantastic breakfast here, from friendly and welcoming staff. All freshly prepared and delicious. Got to be the best in the area without a doubt.

Called in here when passing by. It is a lovey little cafe with a good selection of food and drinks. Can’t really fault it.

Family of 4 went for breakfast. Lovely staff, very attentive. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Saw this little cafe on way towards Millbrook so we decided to pop in on our way home.

Just had lunch with to lovley ladies as a treat for my birthday.

Have been meaning to try the salty dog cafe as I drive past regularly.

What a gem of a place. Delicious cakes...too late sadly for food but the menu looked stunning, I actually think the lady took pity on two slightly frazzled walkers and 2 hot dogs and served us cake and frappe, treats and fresh water for the dogs, she was so welcoming and friendly. If you are nearby I can thoroughly recommend the Salty Dog Cafe.

Wow wow wow what a fabulous breakfast I had the veggie

If you have a dog this place should be on your itinerary. We only called for coffee but were made so welcome, humans and dog alike. Great atmosphere, delicious coffee and the cakes certainly looked delicious even though we didn’t taste them.

We arrived with two large dogs and a baby and were immediately made to feel welcome. The food was excellent, all homemade and freshly cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. This is a great little place for brunch or lunch.

You can’t be a good fry up. All local quality ingredients, well cooked a friendly bunch of lovely ladies. We’ll be back soon

Arrived just too late for breakfast but friendly staff let us choose off the breakfast menu anyway ( sadly had run out of sausages) but we went ahead regardless. Beautiful, tasty ingredients lovely staff - a great place. Have booked a return breakfast trip, this time with sausages (which looked amazing)! Can’t wait to try.

Just stopped for drinks and we made very welcome. Served very quickly and the food we saw coming out of the kitchen was freshly cook and looked delicious. Limited opening hours at present but I’m sure they will be extended during the summer. Ideally places on road to Rame Head I would defend recommend it. We arrived 10 mins after opening and it got busy within 30 mins! Well worth a stop

I've been several times. Great coffee and cakes served by friendly staff.
