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

Delicious seasonal special hot chocolate! Not too pricy and just what we needed after an autumnal walk along the beach and on the rocks! Great views from the terrace.

Visited here many times on holiday. Great cake, including a good range of gluten free options, and really friendly and helpful staff means you always want to come back

We visited just for coffee and cake. This cafe clearly has a loyal customer-base. This is unsurprising since it is located in a fabulous setting. But on the day we visited the organisation seemed poor. It took ages to order and receive our coffees (40+ minutes), even though it was not particularly busy. Waiting staff seemed to find it hard to find the customers to deliver their order. (This happened more than twice in the brief time we were there.) I wonder if some staff needed further training

We recently visited the cafe at Sandy Mouth. The cafe is lovely with a good choice of food, all reasonably priced. We opted for the Scones and they were delicious! Friendly staff, nice seating areas inside and out in a beautiful location. The car park is big and the parking attendants are very helpful and pleasant. A lovely place to stop for a drink and bite to eat if you are in the area.

Busy beach-side cafe with surprisingly quick service. Friendly staff, good food. Our falafel wrap and brie/cranberry panini were really good

Lovely cafe, good range of tasty freshly cooked food available, great service esp if waiting for tide to retreat to reveal more beach , car parking reasonable cash or card payments taken toilets clean - lifeguards know this stretch of water & do an excellent job !!!

Utterly fed up with such people leaving negative comments. I live here and visit daily. The staff, mostly kids or students work tirelessly and can't do enough. They are polite, kind and dedicated. If you turn up too late for breakfast -too bad. If you don't like cafe food try the Dorchester hotel in London. If it's too pricey to eat whilst looking out over the sea, Morrisons might be more your thing. Truth- treat the young folks serving you respectfully and they will be at their best, enjoy an amazing breakfast, or one of the home made soups. The pasties and ice-creams are fab! If the loos or cafe are closed that is because you are too late. By the way the cafe doesn't have any control over how much sand there is, whether the beach is too stoney, access to the beach, or parking prices etc. Enjoy your time in Cornwall. If you just want to complain about everything you can choose to stay home and cook your own food.

I walked to the café for a morning coffee and breakfast, I received a warm welcome by a lovely young girl on the til who provided me with a breakfast menu. I ordered a latte and a bacon bap (with the bacon 'well done'). I sat on table 14 with stunning views over the low tide sandymouth beach and the bird songs in the small valley. In the short wait for my drink (less than 90 seconds!) I noted the wide range of options for lunch on the menu as well as the fresh homemade cakes and hot pastys. The table service was incredibly timely and the girl on the coffee machine made my latte with a perfect mix of a hot and drinkable temperature (and an excellent latte foam art of a swan). The bacon bap arrived shortly after the latte, along with a selection of sauces. It was a generous size and the bacon was cooked exactly as I'd asked for it. - (I gave my compliments to the chef) It was a very enjoyable experience with some very high quality care for their customers, food and general hygiene. There was a calm and friendly atmosphere of walkers, families and surfers alike, all looking for a place to get something to eat or drink. I would definitely recommend this five star café to everyone and shall be coming again!! :)

Lovely place and beautiful view but staff could do with brushing up on customer service skills. One girl was very rude to us twice.

We decided to visit the cafe having visited the beach, due to the lateness we decided we would go back the following day and have breakfast anyway… we arrived the following day I went inside to order breakfast I must admit I hadn’t really kept track of time but after waiting in line to be served I went to order breakfast but was told they stopped serving breakfast at 11.30 at this point I didn’t realise the time and asked to see the menu to which the person serving just glanced over at the side making contact with what I assume must of been the menu’s I looked over didn’t see the menu so looked back at her to which she glanced again over at the side rather than just saying they are there or handing me one… anyway I saw the menu this time… went outside to our table to say they had stopped serving breakfast and to pick something else… glanced at my phone and it was 11.31 at this point so I must of been attempting to order breakfast at 11.30 went back inside to order and it turns out they do the breakfast sandwiches 🤷🏼‍♀️ so ordered 2 x sausage and bacon sandwiches and 2 caramel lattes which cost me £21 I’m not sure I was charged right but it was my own fault and I hadn’t took much notice of the pricing and so paid… the food was ok… the coffee was ok… not £21 ok though. It’s in a lovely little area with really nice views. I felt as though I was an inconvenience, the service was poor and overpriced. Our visit was just ok… and unfortunately I wouldn’t visit again for food or coffee.

A lovely wee gem at the end of a looooonnnng walk. Beautiful coffee and delicious food and cakes. The staff were very friendly too. It was very windy the day we visited but still enjoyed a seat outside. There is a National Trust car park but we walked down from Sandymouth caravan resort. Definitely worth the effort.

A perfect breakfast at this lovely cafe. The full breakfast and the smaller version well cooked and presented. Coffee was very nice too. The staff were friendly and our coffee arrived quickly and food followed in good time. It was a blustery day and the cafe was cosy and clean.

We had two burgers, a wrap and a few drinks and it came to over £50. We thought we'll its a special treat as we're on holidays and such a beautiful location. But what a rip off! The burgers came on a plate on their own - no chips or side salad - and the meat was so disgustingly cheap we couldn't eat it. It's like something you'd expect on the side of a road not a national trust expensive cafe. Avoid eating here at all costs. Total rip off.

Went to Sandymouth, our local beach for a walk at low tide yesterday afternoon. With the uphill walk from the beach to the car park we decided we needed an ice cream reward. The door to the cafe was open, it was 4.05pm and there was no closed sign showing just a sign on the counter saying “kitchen closed takeaway drinks available “. In fact we had just passed a group of people on the path with drinks and ices and ices. Anyway we went in and choose our ices. The staff were so busy cleaning they didn’t even have the courtesy to advise that they had closed. When my husband did ask for service the young lady said she would be a moment. 5 minutes later we gave up and left. We just felt that even at the end of a long day the staff could have been a lit more courteous . Also 4pm at a beach cafe on a summer day is very early, no time for a cheeky after school treat.

Really delicious coffee - best in the area, and I'm local! - but appalled to find fructose as an added ingredient in the ice cream I bought for my dog. (It's not toxic per se, but dogs do not need added sweeteners in their food and I will not give my dog products which use them.) That went straight in the bin, unopened. Please switch to Scoop's Ice Cream for Dogs (from Marshfield) for a totally natural and safe product our furry friends.

Whilst this is a captive audience venue, the drinks were priced OK and not overly expensive, However the hot food was a bit pricey for what you got. Burgers but no chips and just simply a burger on a plate. Sandwiches were better priced apart...

Arrived with intention of having lunch. Cafe was open! Asked to used the toilet and was told the cafe was shut. Carpark warden said it was open. Anyway went to beach for a walk on the way back walked past cafe the to men in...

A welcome stop for lunch at the end of our walk. There’s a small seating area inside, and tables nicely spaced so our dog could be tucked out the way. There was a nice choice on the ‘daily specials’ from roast pork bap with apple...

Lovely cafe next to entrance to Sandymouth Beach, with plenty of seating inside and out plus a NationalTrust car park. Staff were friendly and welcoming, service fast and food quality high. Prices were reasonable too.

Food was good and reasonably priced for a lunchtime meal or snack. Staff were helpful and friendly and made customers welcome

Very clean cafe with young, friendly staff. Coffee is delicious and my other half really enjoyed his hot chocolate too.

Parked at the adjacent National Trust car park and walked to the Northcott Bay before returning for food (and then a walk the other way to Duckpool). The positives: very tasty food at reasonable prices. Negatives: Service could have been bettter (sorry!) - delivery of...

"Discovered" this cafe halfway through a circular walk from Bude along the coastal path. Excellent coffee and flapjack. it was so good we came here again the following day for breakfast. Opens at 10:00. Good prices, efficient and friendly service.

This is the first time I've visited the Sandymouth Cafe since before covid. Its now out of season and much quieter. I went in with my little girl for a quick snack after a long walk on the beach. I ordered a coffee, an apple...

Amazing fresh food, great service and super facilities. Coffee was really good, we waited 20 mins for our food but well worth it. Dig friendly inside and out, homemade cakes too!

Stopped here twice. Once for lunch and once for coffee. Lovely food and excellent system for serving so ten out of ten for safety and pleasure. Car park is national trust pay and display. Lots of walkers and dogs while we were there.....it advertises that...

We only had takeaway coffees from this great little place but decking seating overlooking the beach was very attractive. The food being ordered looked good too. Pleasant staff and a great addition to the beach

Both lunch and breakfasts freshly cooked and tasty. Staff friendly and welcoming. Outside and inside seating available

Great service and attention to detail and customer service. Fabulous food and reasonable prices. Perfect in every way thank you for your kindness to 2 tired customers.

We have visited this cafe many times and don't always review but wanted to just say how good the food and service was. It was very busy and we were warned that there was a wait for food (20 mins) Happy with that, so no...

Great location amazing sea view and lovely food. We really enjoyed the tuna toasties cute little shop and very nice hot chocolate:)

Lovely views from the decking overlooking the beach and you'll be visited by Robins, chaffinches and bluetits. The cafe though is always very disappointing. Strange that they continue to use disposable cups and trays, none of which are recycled. Everything goes into one bin. The...

This independent cafe is situated just at the entrance to the beach. You have the choice of several outdoor tables & if you are lucky will have a view of the beach. They had a good choice of food options, we decided on cake, scone...

Good service, great location, right next to the beach! lovely food - fish finger sandwiches, salad and crisps. Accommodated baby with high chair.

After a walk on the beach (well stones as the tide was in) we were ready for lunch. The menu was quite extensive for a cafe but we settled for the panini sandwiches. They were served with a generous well-dressed salad and were delicious! We...

Great choice of cakes and drinks. Friendly staff and beautiful location. Not to be missed! Really appreciated the clean toilets too.

Visited this lively little cafe at Sandymouth bay after a circular walk to Duck pool bay and back . I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the food it was fantastic !

We went on a Sunday in June when the sun was out and a cast of thousands had turned up filling the NTs overflow car park. The staff were coping extremely well, everyone was fed quickly and they stayed cheerful despite the number of guests....

The absolute best view of the coastal path and a wonderful place to have a hot or cold drink. Visited with some friends while in the area and received the most generous service anybody could wish for. All the staff were brilliant, but a big...

Hot and cold food with seating inside and plenty of Ouse benches. Also ice-cream, cold and hot drinks. Large amount of parking but very hilly and stormy. Not suitable for wheel chairs and hard for buggy’s. Steep walk down to the stones beach and very...

1st holiday to Bude and was told to visit Sandymouth by a family member. Can honestly say it was the best view to have a coffee. As we have an old dig we weren’t allegro make it down to the beach but sitting in the...

Despite a big sign at the top of the road saying it was open, it was very closed each time I went this week. A simple sign on the door stating plans would be useful for customers. After a year of lockdown, I cant believe...

We visited on a cold day just after Christmas with the wind howling off the sea! The location is wonderful and there are toilets and a car park at Sandymouth as well as a pebble beach and waterfall. We were looking forward to a sit...

Very busy little cafe but i can see why because the beach is beautiful. The views are beautiful and we managed to get a seat to enjoy a drink after our mammoth walk of the costal path to Bude and back.

We couldn’t fault this cafe, we only had hot drinks and they were hot along with excellent service and views as well.

Stopped for a cup of tea and burger whilst walking the coast path to Bude on a very windy and drizzly day. It has a stunning location with views across Sandymouth Beach. A warm welcome, great cup of tea (with non dairy milk option) and a delicious vegan burger.

The last few reviews provide a good summary: Great location, fairly expensive, and the man in the kitchen (I believe the owner) needs a courtesy course. An average experience, sadly.

Mine was the only order , tea, coffee , slice of cake . 4 young women standing round chatting. They got the order wrong , the coffee was stone cold and the price was wrong, when I complained 1 served me the other 3 stood giggling and mumbling, very poor customer service , take a flask and little lunch instead and sit on the cliff top

Decided to pop to Sandymouth beach whilst on holiday in the area, and ate at the cafe for lunch, the food was lovely and a great view whilst sitting outside

So we visited here recently but I have to say it felt quite a pricey lunch. Nearly £50 for 2 sandwiches, 2 burgers and non alcoholic drinks. The burger literally comes out in a takeaway box (which isn't a problem) and while they taste good, the burgers had no sides at all that the menu leads one to believe and would go some way to validate the price. It is such a shame that they capitalise on their location. We won't return I'm sad to say.

We went here in the middle of Storm Dennis! The staff were friendly, though it was slightly chaotic - perhaps short-handed. They didn't quite get the order right but happily corrected it when we told them. The food was really good - we had breakfasts and a burger. Such a fantastic location - just up the path from the beach definitely worth a stop in better weather.

Stopped in today after a walk,food was delicious and service was fantastic, will definitely be visiting again.

A delightful little cafe close to the beach in remote location with very friendly staff and a good selection of great food and cakes. We had breakfast followed by cakes which I rated very nice.

We have visited this cafe on several occasions. Its got good outside seating where dogs are allowed, and some inside (no dogs inside). They do good breakfasts and lunches. Car park is very close so not a problem to leave the dog there in bad weather. Good for before or after a walk on the beach!

I come here often and find it lovely. Today I visited after a long walk, and I was feeling Hungry. I was really looking forward to having a sandwich and enjoying the view. But I was rudely approached by a male member of the staff. He very rudely told me there was nothing left but cake, he could of said it in a nicer tone. (because it was late in the afternoon). I would of considered sitting and having a piece of cake, but the man left me upset and angry. He then came over to be and screamed, about how dogs were not allowed!This really left me distraught and disappointed in a cafe I thought I could rely on.This has ruined my experience for ever and I really will never come again. I wouldn’t recommend it to any of the guests, in my holiday cottages.Louise

A nice stop after a lovely sunny walk on Sandymouth Beach, and a boost before the walk back! Vegan options available, nice seating areas and lovely views.

Had the pleasure of eating here twice during my recent holiday and on both occasions the food was excellent and good value for money using great local ingrediennts. There is a large outdoor seating area so you can eat and enjoy the view, they also sell a small range of local gifts that you can purchase that again are good value for money.Cornish pasties are beatiful and my eldest sone loved the burger he had, they also serve a great choice of local ciders which you can purchase when eating in. Really friendly team and great service

Visited twice while on holiday in Bude, both times service was great even though it was quite busy. Wide choice of snacks and more substantial meals. If not too windy, most of the tables outside have a fantastic view. Very relaxed atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

A very welcome sight on a wet and windy day in the middle of August!! Really welcoming, polite and friendly staff, great service and delicious food!! I can certainly recommend the crevettes and chilli jacket potato!There are also some beautiful gifts in there. Seating inside and out. Would imagine it gets very busy on a lovely sunny day.Would definitely return and certainly recommend.

We were very impressed with the food at Sandymouth Cafe. Plenty of choice on the menu at reasonable prices. A good kids menu too. Lovely views of the beach if sitting outside. I can definitely recommend the Crevettes. 🍤

We stopped here after a long walk on Sandymouth beach and had an ice-cream which was so creamy and lovely. A well-stocked cafe with something for everyone

Lovely service, local foods and a great view! All made better after a long coastal walk, even in the rain!

This cafe can get very busy so you may have to be patient for food - but worth the wait. Great choice, lots of fresh fish on the specials board and staff friendly. As beach cafes go the food here is really good and location amazing, especially if u can a table outside looking out to sea.

The beach is gorgeous and clean, with rock pools, stones, sand and a steam that runs down to the beach. We could have spent all day here, but the toddler knackered himself out. The only problem is the stones you have to climb over to get to the beach.

Being a National Trust Member, free parking on this amazing stretch of coastal area with a good cafe is a win win. Can highly recommend the flapjacks and the coffee is top notch too. Given it 4 stars instead of 5 as the servers were too busy gossiping to hear me say thank you and goodbye when returning my used cups and crockery to the serving area.

Unfortunately we had to wait around an hour for our food and my nephews food was chewy in the inside but the location was good and my sons food had pesto with it and we did not ask for the extra

We dropped in for lunch while walking along the coast. A nice simple menu with daily specials but it's all cooked really well.

Great spot to enjoy a (slightly expensive) cup of coffee and slice of cake, listening to the roaring sea and chirping birds.

During a lovely sunny, yet chilly, day on Sandy Mouth Beach, we got some takeaway food here for our lunch. The cafe was really busy so I was impressed with how quickly the food came out to me. I was even more delighted with the compostable packaging - helping me in my efforts to reduce plastic! Lovely lunchbox for my son who was delighted with it all and a fab crab sandwich for me - really fresh tasting. We'll definitely come here again as the beach was fantastic too.

This place seems to be underrated - it definitely deserves 6 stars! Been there for a lunch and had the perfect burger - the best we've tasted in months and may be years, really good coffee, crab sandwiches - very good indeed, and topped that all with some nice ice cream, supplemented by a courteous and rapid service! Not to forget amazing views, sunshine and the ocean down there - what more can be desired?

Popped in to get the kids a warm drink after playing on the beach, lovely little cafe, clean and welcoming, great luxury hot chocolates!

Nice little café with good selection of food and drinks. Lovely views of the beach from the picnic tables out the back.

Popped down to the beach for a Sunday morning stroll and a bit of plastic collecting and on my way back stopped in the cafe for a tea where I was greeted by a very friendly lady who engaged in great conversation, excellent customer service.

we received excellent service with fantastic views and delicious food. staff were very obliging and welcoming.

We have visited the cafe on previous visits to the area but we were slightly disappointed on this occasion. The food was just ok but the toast was stone cold. The hash brown was very very greasy. On a positive note there is a varied lunchtime menu and in better weather a lovely outdoor seating area with lovely views of the sea.

To veer off the SW coastpath and find this place was marvellous. On a mild January Saturday, we sat outside with delicious coffee, feeling that all was right with the world... (and forgot about Brexit, bills etc!)

This is not a typical beach cafe. Some great food and out of the ordinary menu choices. Not cheap but good value for money for the quality. The most recent visit I had a gluten free veggie burger that had quinoa and beetroot in it. Delicious. No chips on the menu at all. Jacket potatoes & sandwiches plus some great specials.

It’s worth writing a review for somewhere that genuinely deserves to be noticed, acknowledged and shared. Sandymouth Cafe is in a location that is just a short 2 mile walk from Crooklets Beach in Bude. The cafe serves excellent food and drinks, perfect for a stop along your walk. We’ll be back!

We went down to the beach today then backup and had a fantastic hot chocolate at the cafe - highly recommended

Visited after huge disappointment when local tea room was shut. Went in with two children (2yo and 5 month old) and our toy poodle. Very welcoming and excellent service. Had warm scones with jam and cream as well as millionaires shortbread - all were delicious! Lovely views and definitely worth a visit.

Very welcoming with children and dogs! Lovely little place 😃great sea views on decking area and tables/sofas inside. Had a couple of highchairs and seaside toys for sale

Walked from Bude to Northcott, then on to Sandymouth and stopped for tea at Sandymouth. Perfect day.

Great coffee with a view of the beach ( or just the sea at high tide). Great place to recover after bodyboarding or a long walk

We had a great family visit with our dogs. The cafe is situated looking over the beach with some great cliff top walks. Visit after 2.30pm when the tide is out for access to the beach

We visited this cafe 2 weeks ago. 3 members of staff to make 1 hot chocolate!! We was completely ignored by all.. walked out after 2 minutes of being blanked . Beach worth visiting absolutely beautiful

We spent a week in north Devon and went to the Sandymouth Cafe several times - friendly staff and excellent food. Great coffee too.

Great to stumble across this cafe whilst walking along the coastal path. Fresh salads / sarnies / yum cakes and afternoon teas - excellent!

Having walked along the beach from Bude in blustery, spray laden conditions, cafe was a welcome sight.. and all the better for the excellent food served. chicken burger recommended by our friends amd lived up to its billing. fresh buns, content and salad. Good local beer and coffee. And good price..

We visited twice this last week. Lovely cafe with a lovely view and the food was good if a little expensive for what it was.

Stopped at the beach cafe for a cold drink on the way back from the beach,if you sit in the garden at the back you have a stunning view of sandymouth beach,well worth a visit

Fantastic value for money, excellent quality and speedy friendly service even when very busy - cream tea with two scones just £4.95 BARGAIN!!!

Came up to Sandymouth as a change to our local haunts at Milook and Black Rock. Not too busy, reasonable parking charge and of course the tide was out for a walk along the beach. Stopped for drinks and bites before we went and had some superb falafel and excellent coffee. Well priced, promptly served (fresh prepared) and quality stuff. Met some nice visitors too, which was nice!

Stopped here for coffees and ice creams over a couple of days. Service was very good - polite, friendly, efficient. Great selection of all things seaside.

We stopped here after spending some time on Sandymouth Beach. The cafe has generous menu options and is located at the top of the path that leads directly to the beach. We enjoyed a cream tea and some toasted tea cakes which were delivered promptly. The staff were very busy at the time we visited (there were lots of orders) but most were jolly and accommodating.

Best falafel ever ( and I've had a few!!) Slick, calm, organised, well priced and delicious. Hope you make oodles of dosh over the season and have a fab holiday at the end!!

What a nice place, just a little cafe at the top of the beach but it sells everything. Delicious food, very helpful staff and good prices. Sit on the outside decking and enjoy the view.

We enjoy a good walk and one of our favourites is to wait for low tide and walk from Bude up the sand past Northcott Mouth for 2.5 miles to Sandymouth. A visit to the cafe is a must then the return via the coast path. It's clear that the beach is popular with families. When it's cold and damp the cafe has been a good place to eat and drink in the warm. On our last visit it was hot and sunny so we sat outside. There are plenty of tables with shade and the views over the sea are great. It was very busy but the staff were in good humour and service was very good. Prices are OK even though there is no competition - suggest you check out their website. A range of Kellys Ice Cream which is delicious. An ideal pit stop if walking the Coast Path and the toilets were in good order. We look forward to returning when in the area.

When taking the grandchildren to the beach we stopped off here for food which was excellent. ,We all had something different and each one of us enjoyed it.The children just had a childs lunch box which was excellent value.

We have been a number of times to sandymouth & always stop at the cafe before walking to the beach. The cafe does a variety of delicious snacks including, hot & cold drinks, a good selection of pannines, sandwiches & cakes to eat in or outside...all of which are fabulous...with the glorious beach & this liitle gem of a cafe it means you'll always come back for more.

Only stopped for drinks but great views, stopped day before and the french chef was very helpful and gave advise on when was best to park ect.
