Tatams in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Stopped here as part of a cycling group doing a bit of a tour round. Good choice of simple food and snacks. Nice seating area overlooking the beach. Quick service...with a smile, was nice too.

Great coffee, great cakes, great pastries, fresh orange juice, gf options, great service and you get to sit down and just chill out looking out to Nares head. This is a brilliant choice for a simple breakfast or elevenses.

Been a regular since Simon opened the place, now under new management and I wish them every success, I really do. However now offering regular or large cups…really? Too corporate, too Costa/Starbucks, not necessary. Then by mid Sat morning pastries gone! Constructive feedback intended. Good Luck!

The best coffee we've had for a long time. Usually we don't like drinking from cardboard cups, but their coffee was so good we didn't notice. The Portuguese tarts were also the best I've had. The savoury filled croissants also looked very good.

Had a lovely coffee here this morning! Great weather! Super coffee shop! Very friendly staff! I think it’s where I will be every morning for the next week!

This is a great take out pizza and pasta service, not an extensive menu and sometimes an interesting choice of toppings on the pizza but they are always delicious. Order online and pick up at the allotted time. The food has always been ready at that time, it's super efficient so don't be late! If there's room you can eat in at the long shared tables, if not it's a take away but the food is well packaged to do this. You can also eat in the Harbour Club nearby, a small membership fee is required but don't let that put you off.

Tatams now have a pizza restaurant which is directly opposite called Tavola. Myself and family visited last week on the final day of our holiday. Sadly the experience wasn’t the best. Apparently you need to order pizzas online and arrive at your allotted time which to be honest I didn’t expect from a small village. Myself and family (including a 4 month old baby) sat and waited in the window seats for a table to be available. I asked for my daughter milk to be warmed which came out like absolutely boiling hot, i then asked for something to cool down in and was offered a plastic pint glass and handful of ice…… and Informed “we don’t have a bucket” After standing in the only toilet for 15 mins trying to cool her milk in the sink I had to leave as others were waiting for the toilet. Sat down at our table to see the couple next to us with a jug of water. After spending the best part of £100 on 3 pizzas, a tub of coleslaw and a round of drinks we left. Email sent to the team explaining my experience, initial email responded to and offered coffees and pastry from tatams for our journey home but as we had already left I emailed back twice asking if we could accept the kind offer next year when we re visit portscatho my emails have been ignored. Not the best family friendly place.

It's a very simple menu, basically pizza, pasta, salad served with either beer, wine of soft drinks (and just a few choices for each) but the food is lovely and the service so friendly. We wandered to the restaurant on a Friday night (they only open for a few nights during the week) only to find that they were very very busy with orders (mostly for take away) and in fact we should have booked ! The team were great and squeezed us in - we enjoyed a beer and wine whilst we waited (they have several long communal tables) but the pizza was worth waiting for. The bill came to £46 (that did include a couple of large beers and two glasses of wine) so its not cheap but we thought well worth it.

Superb views over the harbour, watch out for the seals. Coffee was excellent as were the pastries, we could spend hours at this spot just watching the world go by. Service was great too!

Tasty pizza, lovely and sooooo friendly staff, the Montepulciano very good. I rarely had such a good cost/performance ratio especially considering the wine in a non-gourmet setting. We loved this place.

Coffee and pastry with a view to die for, across the harbour one way and back across the bay to Portscatho beach the otherway. Good pleasant service, highly recommend (dog friendly).

The location is good but the coffee offering is very disappointing. If you pay normal prices for coffee you ought to be able to expect the size j in f the cup to normal. These were tiny

Phileas Dog here again. This place gets 5 woofs from me. The lady serving me was magic and really friendly and I got a gravy bone and drink. My mummy and daddy had a well made cappuccino each with option of a decaf. The pastries were baked locally and I can recommend the custard tart. You can find the place on the slipway at the bottom of the hill near the harbour just find the Plume of Feathers pub and keep walking down the hill I sat on my Daddies knee and enjoyed a great view over the harbour , cove and the sea on the stools and seats outside. There are some loos nearby but if u use them ask where the light switch is cos my mum couldn't find it and it was a bit dark All in all we all REALLY like this place and will be back before we move on Top tip to enjoy the view on a sunny day as the sea looks really blue Five big woofs for this doggie friendly place

Ordered takeaway online and easy to park nearby and pickup in an evening. Food presented well, smelt appetising, hot and fresh. Ordered the weekly special of lemon roasted chicken, chips and aioli, which was ample portion for two people and delicious and well cooked. The garlic and parsley flatbread was amazing.

Just called in for a coffee and a piece of cake, great views across the bay, all seating outside so maybe not so good in bad weather!! Guy behind the counter very chatty and helpful.

Had the Turkish takeaway twice on or weeks stay and it definitely didn’t disappoint!! Friendly staff and amazing food make this a must if you visit Portscatho!!

Surely the best location for coffee in Cornwall? And excellent coffee too. I even ventured into the pastries which i never do just to extend my time! Worth a detour

This is one of those special places were you always come back for more, while sipping on your hot chocolate drink with a fresh cake checking out not only the view but also who's who next to you. Very relaxing and right almost in the water, stunning veiws of the coast line plus the sea and beyond. and top service by Georgie who also dabbles in painting and has some really nice images on show.

The most delicious chicken kebab we’ve EVER eaten. Lovely fries. We heard this place was good but it was more than just good. No queuing as we had a time slot for collection. Wish were staying longer so we could repeat the experience!

On holiday in the local area and booked a click and collect slot on Saturday evening from Tatams Taverna hatch on the slipway. Ordered the Forager pizza and chicken shawarma with some Cornish lagers. Lovely service, absolutely delicious food, full of flavour. Best pizza we’ve had for taste and texture with a light crispy base and beautiful topping. Also piping hot. I ordered on the Wednesday for collection on Saturday and there weren’t many time slots left, so I would advise to order in good time for weekend slots to avoid disappointment.

This is actually two places in one and it really made our holiday in Portscatho. It serves really good artisan coffee in the morning from an arty and very friendly beachside hut. Portuguese custard tarts and handmade almond biscuits were incredible. The view from the wooden sea-fronted leaning bench is out of this world. It catches the morning light and it's like you are on a boat when the tide is high. In the evenings this place opens in the building next door to offer stonebaked pizzas and wood-fired kebabs. We had a vegetable shawarma kebab and forager (mushroom & truffle) pizza, and they were both top notch and tasty. Ordering is online and you collect from the window at your time slot. We ate on the leaning bench which we had to ourselves. It was beautiful, morning and night. Thank you Tatams :)

Decided to have a coffee after waiting to get into accommodation.Asked what the different coffees where (as not really a coffee drinker). Great selection of coffees for the avid fans of coffees.Also different selections of hot chocolate (having another visit to ask what they all are)!Nice waiting on staff and he didn’t mind going through all the coffees with me!

Last time they had run out of Portuguese tarts so delighted we were in luck this weekend. Coffee is excellent and staff v engaging.

Bought 2 croissants and was told £4. And they were slightly burned as well. I hate places that rip off people. Think it's the same business as the popular The Hidden Hut nearby. They shouldn't take advantage of their dominance!

Amazing pizza, tasty toppings with a crispy crust! One of the best pizza’s we’ve had! The guys were friendly and helpful and we ate on the sea wall looking over the sea which made for a lovely setting! Top marks!

Excellent choice, very tasty. Had pizza on two nights and chicken and chips on the Wednesday all very tasty.

We have been on two nights recently and the oven fresh food made from high quality ingredients is fantastic. Not cheap for take away but good value all the same. We usually order the food and then eat on the beach that the place overlooks. During the day, there is also a cafe part of the place that sells drinks and pastries, which also taste great.

Had takeaway pepperoni pizza and dhal tonight and both were really good. The pizza was spicy and you could taste the honey, the dhal and flatbread were perfect. Next time we will eat there rather than have a takeaway. It looks like a great place to east! Highly recommended.

We pop in most days when on holiday for lovely coffee and pastries with a sea view. Pizzas are good too.

Popped in here on a cold November night with some good friends. We ordered 4 pizzas and some fries. The seating arrangement encourages a bit of friendly conversation with other diners (Wagamama style benches). We had a couple of bottles of red which were very reasonable! Notable highlight for me from their menu is the ‘Forager pizza’ that is not just your standard mushroom pizza. Oh no. They have applied a hefty slurp of truffle oil that made it (forgive the hubris) the FINEST PIZZA I have ever tasted. And I have eaten Pizza in Rome and Milan. The staff are humorous, welcoming and attentive too. Finally I want to know where they get their copper water carafes from ‘cos they are funky as fk.

We had a short stop for a coffee and couldn't resist a Pasteis de Nata. Service was quick and friendly, with a quick chat about the sister 'shed' the Hidden Hut,which we visited later. Everything was good and the position with its wonderful view from the outdoor bar was perfect. As with the Hidden Hut your enjoyment is weather dependant as there is no cover, we were lucky and avoided the October showers.

Tatums Taverna, Porthscatho. Great place for Pizza. Very informal. Reasonable prices. Find your own seat. The fries are the best I’ve had. Busy even on a cold and very wet Wednesday night at the end of October. Staff very friendly.

Stopped for a swift coffee and bite. Friendly couple served us- coffees looked and tasted incredible and the “lumberjack”was fantastic!!

Dear bearded-fellow in Tatums coffee bar; cheer up a bit eh?! We ordered 3 hot chocolates at £3 each and my joke (how dare I joke!) seemed to set his mood lower and once we had found a seat they were barely luke-warm. Maybe the machine has an "annoying customer" setting? There was a large queue and so by the time we’d managed to complain, they would have been stone-cold. He let someone else finish our order, turned to the side as if to dismiss us and then propped a foot up and gazed at the horizon with his large manly binoculars! We were a party of 8 but did not return again. Honestly, you’re in the hospitality business, so surely a smile isn’t so hard? We also visited The Hidden Hut, whom I understand also owns Tatams and despite it being very busy, they were superb.

Had a last minute mid-week pizza. Fast service, very good food and reasonably priced. We had previously called in for a coffee (good) and a pastry (very good). The outside seating has excellent views

If you know your pizza you won’t be disappointed with these!! We had the Ham which came with a quality passata sauce. Gorgeous cheese,Hand cut ham, charred pinnapple all on a super thin crusty base. Our second Pizza was the same but with Pepperoni with lots of quality cheese. Bring your own wine or buy the two house wines. What more could you wish for, we will be back.

The actual establishment is very nice. The only food that I have eaten here, as a take out, was a margherita pizza. I have tried the same one 4 times now, and it is delicious, however it is far too salty. The view from the balcony is lovely, as it overlooks Gerrans Bay. What I hated was people smoking on the balcony. It ruined the whole experience of sitting out, having a drink, on a sunny early evening, with family, only to have to leave due to the awful stench of cigarette smoke and running the risks of passive smoking! I want to smell the sea, and fresh air, not carcinogenic smoke. At one point 7 people, situated in different parts of the balcony, and close to us were all smoking. We could have sat inside but we chose to sit out outside, as it was a lovely evening.

I can recommend the coffee and the bacon and cheese croissants while gazing at the wonderful view. Get there early to get a seat.

We visit Tatams very year as a special treat. This year it was made all the more special as it was our friends birthday.

Great spot for coffee - consistently well made flat whites on every occasion and service quick and friendly. Prices creeping up - £3 for a small flat white is edging towards poor value in my opinion.

After the many good reviews and the excellent coffe shop, decided to try the pizza restaurant. The service was very good and the atmosphere ok but the pizzas were terrible. Much better ones are available in the supermarkets. I had a pepperoni and it was very thin and chewy. The outside edge was burnt black and could not be eaten. The FEW slices of pepperoni were so thin you could almost read through them and totally randomly spread around. One large slice had absolutely no pepperoni slices at all. I was really not impressed.

Fabulous spot, gorgeous views, really excellent coffee and top quality pastries etc - what’s not to love?

Great little place to sit and have a drink and look out over the harbour/beach. Nice friendly staff with a good choice of cakes and drinks. Only down point is that the drinks seemed to have risen in price from last year and a flat white now costing £3 is a little over priced than other coffee shops. Also cakes that are available have no prices on them so check prices before buying them! But well worth a visit...

Great coffee, great view across the beach and fabulous Portuguese custard tarts. What a way to spend a morning! In an age when virtually every coffee outlet claims 'artisan' or 'crafted', this is the real deal.

Das Restaurant liegt beim Harbour Club direkt am Meer. Es bietet eine kleine aber tolle Karte an. Pizza „Made in England“ sind das Programm. Tolle Bedienung, erstklassiges Ambiente und eine kleine, aber knackige Getränkeauswahl werden angeboten.

Great selection of cakes and coffee, We could sit and watch the world go by all day. The Portuguese tart is our favourite. Yummy!!!

We ordered two pizzas to take away. Ham + pineapple and chicken +chorizo. Order ready within 10mins. We sat outside at the outside bar bench overlooking the sea.

A really simple approach, the menu consists of just pizzas, pasta & salads and just a few choices of each but the food is excellent - we loved our stonebaked sourdough pizzas.

You know that feeling when you taste the perfect coffee? Well i did here, twice. Absolutely superb coffee served by people who clearly treat it as a craft, not just splosh it in cup. My wife had the Peruvian hot chocolate and said it's the smoothest tastiest hot choc she has ever had. Went back a couple of days later and had the same to was down a couple of amazing pasteis de nata. They get it all so right and the location is perfect too.

Having been a fan of the Hidden Hut for a number of years, we enjoyed returning to the Taverna which is a warm and welcoming member of the family. Two large tables inside provide a communal eating environment which makes for a friendly dining experience. The pizzas are of excellent quality and value, offering classic flavours with a twist made from fresh ingredients. The staff are friendly, but as there is no table service, they are not intrusive to your meal but always on hand if you have questions or any additional needs. Considerate of dietary requirements, they were able to offer me alternatives to enhance my experience. Would recommend if in the area. Beautiful setting with gentle coastal walking on the doorstep to let your food go down before returning home.

Good for a relaxing cup of coffee whilst gazing out to sea over the lovely beach and harbour. There was a rather large queue and only one girl in the kiosk. The coffee is nice and so are the Portuguese tarts but they are little more than bite size and cost £2.50 each!

Tatams has two aspects the hipster coffee shop ( day) and the hipster pizza parlour (night). Both are excellent.

But then he’s Australian. It is lovely coffee though. And food (they do those Portuguese custard tarts which I believe are poo’d out by unicorns) Plus it has, without doubt, the best view of any coffee house I have ever been too.

Great atmosphere at this small eaterie just off the beach. Wood fired pizzas and a fresh green salad washed down with wine we had brought with us (it is unlicensed). To be recommended for its fun vibe for an informal evening by the seaside.

Stop over in Porthscatho en route home from a holiday further south-west. Stopped to see family and popped into the restaurant for pizza and the experience was superb. Took own wine, handed a buzzer, when it buzzed collected our food and ate in the restaurant. Disappointed that as we ate in we were still served in cardboard pizza boxes rather than on a plate. Wasteful I thought - but that was the only downside

Got there after quite a long trip and the first shock was that there are no menu's apart from the one on a wall outside.

Great Fat white coffee was really good, and the cakes!!!! i could of eaten the whole lot. The best was the custard tart ( french ) was out of this world. Stop here if you can

Best coffee and pastries to die for! Had breakfast with family here. Only complaint was they weren’t open every day of our visit. We will be back!

I am a self-confessed coffee-holic, never happier than searching out great coffee whether it be in London, Winchester or yes, Portscatho.

Having visited the Hidden Hut we decided to try Tatams for a coffee and lunch. The coffee was fine, but alas lunch wasn’t available as the taverna only serves food on 3 evening a week. The cake options were limited, and less than the options available at the hidden hut.

What a fabulous place to meet up with friends. The food was sublime. Just three choices. Between us we had all of the dishes on offer and the sides. I cannot stress how tasty every morsel was! We took our own wine and had one of the best evenings ever! We’ll be going back again and again and ...

Have been coming here as a local for many years and until today it has been great. The service/attitude today was appalling, we were clearly an inconvenience and not a customer. Shame, we won’t be returning.

We visited Tatams on the 26th of December waiting for a couple of minutes for the clock to reach 9am and then got fantastic coffee and lovely croissants! What a great treasure to find!!

Freshly cooked thin crust pizza - plenty of choices. Lovely atmosphere - given buzzers so can wait with amazing sea views whilst waiting for the food. Lovely food, great service - great value!

Hot chocolates, freshly made & enjoyed on the beach. Even a white chocolate available for my daughter who can't eat normal chocolate. Pure heaven before a stroll to the Hidden Hut.

We stayed quite close to Tatams and got take away pizza twice during our stay as it was so good the first time. I don’t think that I’ve ever had a better pizza before. Highly recommend and friendly staff.

A simple coffee hut by the sea. Perfect. The perfect flat white, not over priced considering the view. I don’t need to say any more!

We came with our 6 children and had great pizzas. We loved the setting and informal setting and the food was excellent. We walked along the coastal path to get there and would highly recommend. Good value for money too.

Called in here after arriving at our holiday cottage a couple of hours earlier.

This is a great place, take your own drinks (also available to purchase), no corkage and even corkscrews to borrow!

Once we found this place we went back every day! Beautiful view of Portscatho and an especially lovely spot in the sunshine to while away an hour. The coffee, tea and hot chocolate (64% chocolate) were brilliant and the natas and croissants were yummy too. Highly recommended

We were blessed with fine weather so spent a number of days having breakfast drinking excellent coffee and eating wonderful pastries at the bench overlooking the water.

Stopped off for a coffee and natas at Tatams coffee shack. Good espresso and great natas! Probably enhanced by sitting on their bar stools overlooking Portscatho harbour! Could spend far too long having coffee if that was my local!

This tucked away coffee stop is a little treasure. The Portuguese custard tarts are a delight and the view from the seating along the sea wall has to be seen to be believed. A perfect stopping point for the coastal path. This is the little sister of the Hidden Hut another firm favourite.

A great place for pizza with the family. Staff are excellent, food is great and the views are incredible.

Fabulous place. Great coffee and pastries served by lovely staff. What a gem. We will be back to this unique outdoor coffee bar.

just want you need in the day, top coffee and pastries right on the beach. then in the evening there is a pizza place that focuses on doing 1 thing very well - pizza. they have beers and wine but you can byo. no reservation keep a relaxed holiday vibe. great staff

Stopped or coffee and hot choc....Coffee was ok.....Great view and place to watch the sea and goings on. I was surprised to hear that this is owned by Hidden Hut as coffee isn't as good and hot chocs don't come with cream and/or marshmallows which is a shame.

Lovely coffee, great views over the bay to Porthcurnick & they were happy to fill up my dog’s water bottle as it was a hot day.

Wood fired pizza and beer on a rainy evening, with great atmosphere and only a 10 minute wait! Definitely improved my evening!

Lovely coffee shop and such a pretty location overlooking the bay. Love place to ret our feet before heading over to the Hidden Hut

A great little location for both the little coffee hut and also the taverna which is located next to the hut and open Thursday - Sunday evenings.

A quick visit today as I’d just been to the local shop and wanted to take a few mins to absorb the view and have coffee. There was space at the seating area overlooking the bay. Sat there, had coffee + pastry+ and enjoyed the view.

Wonderful to at last have a trendy little coffee bar in the village. Perfect if you're happy with an overpriced tepid drink of indeterminate type (flat whites/lattes/cappuccinos all look and taste the same except there's half as much flat white) served with indifference or downright rudeness. I was so appalled by the experience on Saturday (btw to-go involves putting your own lids on and a cardboard cup carrier being thrown across the counter) that I couldn't resist coming back again on Sunday. And it was worth it - the customer ahead of me had his drink request curtly refused as being "too weird". I'll be visiting The Boathouse just up the hill from now on!

I don't imagine the coffee and pain au chocolat I had here were any better than any I've had before, but it was a lovely day (see photo) and they don't charge a premium for the location. On another, less sunny day, it's not particularly sheltered and you probably wouldn't want to stay there that long.

Just wonderful. One of the nicest pizza places I have been to. Such a relaxed and rustic feel and right on the waters edge.

Superb coffee, so good we bought a bag which was ground whilst we waited to our specification. You couldn't wish for a better uninterrupted view of the sea, staff were very friendly, a perfect experience all round.

Tatams coffee is so tasty and I don't usually drink coffee! The view across the harbour is truly special, with the small beach below.

Most amazing coffee, must be because I don't normally drink coffee out. Friendly staff with outstanding views

Staying in Portscatho during the May half term we couldn't believe how busy this place was...A clear indication that something was being done right. And so that proved to be the case.

Although we live locally we discovered Tatums coffee shack for the first time today. Such a nice setting, we thought we'd come back another day and sit looking out to sea while drinking coffee and eating cake. Unfortunately the man behind the counter was offhand and dismissive to the point of rudeness, which was surprising as the slipway was deserted and he might have been glad to talk to us. A pity we obviously spoiled his day by asking about his coffee and cakes, he won't be spoiling ours as we shan't be returning to try them.

Tatums provide the kind of coffee that makes the world seem so much better no matter how painful the hangover!!

Arriving for our first days holiday without having planned for dinner we stumbled across this great little place and ordered the chicken and ribs. Great food, large portion and a view to die only thing I could fault was the coleslaw it was fab and could have had more.

Yes we visited Tatams and the coffee, cakes and views are all still spectacular. Yes we also ate at The Taverna and found the pizzas to be, well, pizzas... there's not much you can do to a pizza to distinguish it from its peers. Suffice it to say that amongst pizzas this one was pretty good and smoked lamb is most certainly an interesting departure from normal topping fare.

If the sun is shining this is the place to have a coffee or cake. Fab views. Would recommend we did not try the taverna which serves pizzas.

This is essentially a cafe selling tea coffee and light bites it is in such a picturesque place well worth the visit combine this with a meal at the Hidden Hut what a treat

We were met by a very friendly man who was very knowledgeable about everything he served. My partner said his coffee and brownie was lovely. I went for a hot chocolate, it was definitely the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had, very good quality. Now that’s a statement! See you next time.

Tatams coffee house is amazing, great use of old public toilets. Great coffee, really nice staff. Taverna not so great, pizza poor, cheap ingredients, understand it is owned by Hidden Hut (which is fab) clearly trading of their reputation.

What a shame, read some great views but our visit was disappointing with a poor quality pizza - base was soggy, limited ingredients of poor quality. Staff were friendly but unfortunately did not make up for the food. Tatams coffee house is what they do best.

This evening restaurant, open Thursdays-Sunday evenings, is great. High wooden benches, industrial interior look, and the menu is great. Pizzas, Ribs, Grilled Chicken, all served ready to take away but you can eat in on one of the 3 benches. No licence but you can...
