I arrived in Penzance on the National Express coach from London at approximately 930 am on Saturday 15 June 2024. Due to disability issues I was glad to see this establishment a few feet away . I had intended to order a breakfast and eat it at the alfresco tables. Unfortunately as a 62 year old Black woman I was subject to racist treatment I thought had ended in 1952..Within 5 minutes, I was accused of queue jumping and banging my rucksack against a diner..Neither of these were true. I saw the writing on the wall and crossed over to the Premier Inn..Where I had an excellent breakfast without the bigotry🤨

My go to place for breakfast when I’m staying nearby. The ladies who run it are so friendly and it is great value for money. Lovely thick buttered toast and a big mug of tea for well under a fiver. If you’re staying “nearby” come here it’s so much better!

What a cracking little diner this is! Wife and I completely dismissed it whilst walking past and into the town to explore. Decided to call in on the way back for a Sausage sarnie for me and a bacon and egg for her. Greeted by colourful staff, friendly locals and welcoming cheap but excellent food! Honestly, if you don't call in here, you're mad! Can't wait to return one day in the future to enjoy the vibe...

It’s your typical Cornish “greasy spoon”. What you see is what you get. It is what it is. Does what it says on the tin, so if you’re expecting anything more or less than a proper big cheap full breakfast and standard British service and banter, then you’ve come to the wrong place. Other pros: it opens earlier than anywhere else; breakfast is arguably the best in Penzance AND the price is very fair; situated next to station/ bus if you have to catch a trip somewhere.

I got off an overnight coach service Saturday morning and was wanting breakfast, ordered a Breakfast triple decker sandwich and despite my brain being mush from lack of sleep the staff took my order and we had a nice chat about the coaches and fares etc etc, the staff were lovely and friendly and very chatty. The food was cooked fresh, it was tasty and full of flavour and can recommend it to anyone wanting a bite to eat. Will use again when I'm next in Penzance.

Had breakfast here at the end of a short visit to see family. I've been eating here since I was in primary school. As always, the staff were smiley, welcoming and friendly, and the food was perfect. I don't bother adding breakfast to hotel rooms in Penzance anymore - eating here is far better, and typically cheaper. A great spot.

Found this place back in the day after an overnight rail journey, just needed food, went in and was pleasantly surprised by the quality, in more recent years use it for breakfast on leaving day, avoiding washing pots at holiday let. I always say you can trust an establishment that locals use and this is one of those, a breakie here and a 360 mile journey home fully topped up with food

Sullivan’s Diner is a new find for me in Penzance despite having visited the town many times over the years. I only wish I’d discovered it earlier as it’s a great little café with civilised opening hours. Inside there are wooden tables and chairs in a bright, fresh room making for a pleasant and relaxing experience. Service is really friendly and efficient. The bacon baps are scrumptious and they make a great cuppa. Highly recommended, can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Penzance.

A friendly and traditional cafe based on the wharf at Penzance opposite the bus and rail stations, providing good value and hearty portions of British breakfast dishes as well as sandwiches and baps and of course a good mug of tea. We popped in for a snack prior to our rail journey home which was a very enjoyable last taste of Cornwall at the end of our holiday. Friendly, chatty staff and and a great, no frills, good value breakfast, 100% recommended.

Food was ok , fried egg rock hard with a dry firm yolk. Very limited menu. Very dirty and shabby. Toast came already ‘buttered’ with cheap margarine. Asked for an americano when I saw the fancy coffee machine, but was given a chipped mug of instant coffee. They were very rude when I questioned it but eventually made me a proper coffee. Caffs/diners usually have that greasy spoon charm and value… not so much with this place.

I’ve been here for my first time ever as it’s my first time in Cornwall after a long bus Journey from London! We arrived at 07:15 in Penzance bus station and I thought it would be a great idea to have a breakfast and a coffee to stretch our bodies after the Long journey we had and before we carried on to the bus towards Porthcurno! Many of the restaurants in London they open after 8! I’m impressed that they’ve been opened at 07:25 especially when the lady on the till told me that they’ve been opened at 6! Anyways, let’s go to the most important part! THE FOOD! It’s been cooked with lots of love by the chef and the FEB was just lovely and fresh! Everything in my wife’s and mine dish cooked to perfection and I loved the fried bread added on it as no one does it in London unless if you ask! Reasonably priced and a very nice atmosphere! My only complain is that I asked my breakfast to come without Tomatoes and it came with tomatoes(They obviously wrote this down to the order but still it came with tomatoes) . I didn’t want to send the dish back cause I’m not a person who sends a dish back for a wrong ingredient or trying to make a fuss for that unless if something is not cooked properly or just having an intolerance! We are human being and of course we gonna make mistakes but it didn’t broke my overall experience at all! You do work very hard guys and I do recognise this and keep the job up! I look forward to see you again in the future if I visit Penzance again! Highly recommended, if you need a quick break! Etc. It’s not like I hate mushrooms but I hate it’s flavour!

These are the sort of cafes that are fast disappearing. The menu is simple, the staff are great (family run) and the food is British cafe food. The full breakfast is amazing value for money. Three huge rashers of bacon, two enormous sausages, tinned tomatoes, hash brown, baked beans, fried egg, fried bread. What's not to like. The bacon is grilled to perfection and the mug of tea is proper builder's tea. Brilliant. I moved to Penzance about two months ago and this is my go-to place for a cooked breakfast, as it was when I used to holiday here.

This is your classic greasy spoon cafe. Actually that's not a fair description.... as it's not greasy it's a clean and very good cafe. It serves your classic full English breakfast's or bacon sarnies etc... They'll even do you chips first thing for breakfast!Cup of Tea was very weak but acceptable. Cutlery was clean, The staff are very welcoming and efficient. The cafe has been a Penzance godsend to many weary travellers off the down midnight train from London arriving into Penzance in the early hours of the morning . It's location is superb. Right outside of the railway station. Long may it last .
