Teacup Tearoom in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Amazing little tearoom, fantastic selection, vegan & gluten free options (THE gluten free & vegan place in Mevagissey!) also doggie corner! They have lots of treats and food for sale for ur lovely best friends 🐶 10/10, will defo be coming back!

We Adore it here. We used t live in Cornwall, now can only visit. But we choose Mevagissey Because of the Teacup. Best, most friendly and delightful tea room we have ever visited ( and thats a lot) Dogs love it, especially the comfy cushions. Food and cakes fantastic. Tea coffee, you couldn't wish for a better selection. No Wifi...you are encouraged to chat to each other ! Simply makes our holidays Thankyou.

What a loveley tea room who cater for all your needs. They welomed our dog they laid a blanket on the floor for him gave him a bowl of water and a treat. The other 6 people thouroghly enjoyed our cups of tea,Scones and bagels. The service was first class the food was delicious. The next time we are in Mevagissey this will be one of our must go places.

Called in after walking down from Heligan, excellent coffee, poached egg on toast with streaky crispy bacon real food cooked beautifully

We loved it to bits and the owner thought my crap sense of humour was crap. Lol. Best prices in Mevagissey and the scone was HUGE. They also made our little princess so welcome and cosy with her own bed in the window. See you both next year. X

Perfect little tea room. All the charm of an old fashioned tea room without the cobwebs and stuffiness. Very clean and neat with beautiful attention to detail - right down to the patterned teaspoons. Great selection of teas. The food is very good quality and the portions are ample. Dogs are very welcome and catered for. Highly recommended.

Had really high hopes about this place after reading reviews on a gluten free blog. Went in twice over a week in Mevagissey. The cakes were lovely with a few gluten free options which were a great find in Mevagissey. Unfortunately no gluten free scones are allowed to be taken away, eat in only. The staff were quite standoffish and rude when asked about take away service and scones, and unfortunately took away from the experience as a whole. It didn't make me want to come back and sit in for food.

Fantastic place and so welcoming - I really struggle to find places to eat as I'm gluten free and dairy free, and the only problem I had with this tearoom was that there was too much choice and I wanted everything!! My sandwich was lovely, and the gluten and dairy free cream tea was delicious - best scones I've had (almost couldn't believe they were GF)! They also had several GF DF cakes. Will definitely be visiting again when next in the area.

The best cream tea, the best service, attention to detail and value that I have come across for a long time! We will specifically come to Meva just to visit this beautiful tearoom. Thank your for a lovely experience x

First visit, but certainly won't be my last

Our second visit here ever - but the first with my puppy & all I can say is just WOW! I’ve never felt so welcome and at home with my puppy - they refresh every table before you use it - they supplied a blanket, water and a treat for the dog when we sat down which was much appreciated as we’re training him in cafes at the moment & it was just so lovely of them as it helped a lot - it saved me bringing my own and carrying it around with me too which was a bonus! We brought him a puppuccino for £1.50 and it was worth so much more - specialist milk for dogs, treats at the bottom of the bowl, presented in a ceramic bowl and literally just made to feel as welcome as a human 🐾 The music, setting and staff give it such a great atmosphere. The selection of teas, scones and sweet treats is beyond extensive for the size of the cafe - thank you so much for the wonderful experience and your kindness ☺️

Amazing place fantastic atmosphere will return for a visit when I'm down that way again..the scones were delicious ..the best scone and jam I've had in a while

Wonderful tea rooms. Best scones ever and very dog friendly. Such a lovely find and the couple who run it are great 😊

Lovely breakfast bagels! The dog got a treat as soon as she entered, she seemed to think it was rather tasty. Good vegan options available.

Best cream tea! Lovely friendly service

Very nice tearoom with great scones, good coffee and the dog's own blanket + water in the window.

First, the warm welcome for all, the water bowl for our dog with a blanket and treats. Then the first question is "any allergies or dietary needs?' The tea, from England's only tea plantation was really nice and full of flavour, the timer to decide how strong you want it and the darling teacups to make it a proper tea. As for the warm vegan scone, jam and cream...it melted in the mouth! I cannot recommend this cafe enough!

Lovely little traditional tea room. They are extremely dog friendly with clean beds and fresh water a plenty for them. Very reasonably priced and everything is locally sourced. Cream teas served with little spades to dig out your jam and cream. Perfect for the fishing village location

Another great visit. Great food and friendly service as before.

We visited Cornwall and looked in multiple towns trying to find a good tearoom for cream tea. Teacup tearooms was truly a dream. The owners were kind, smiling and joking the customers. The scones were warm, the whole experience was perfect. My family had standard cream tea which was out of this world, I am vegan and they had amazing vegan options - I had a whole homemade vegan cream tea (which I didn’t think would be possible!) which looked exactly like the standard cream tea they offered and a vegan hot chocolate with whipped cream, which was amazing. I would recommend anyone in the area go. And will be telling everyone who goes to Cornwall to make a stop! Especially the vegans. Thank you ☺️

Lovely scones. Decent size. Good amount of jam and cream. Thank you.

Loved that they served the dogs first. Food was so good and loved the pottery.

I’ve been coming to Cornwall for over 30 years and this is possibly the best cream tea I’ve had! Cute tearoom, dog friendly, he got his own blanket and bowl of water with treats, fantastic hosting suggesting tea and how long to brew! Just a perfect place. Thank you

The staff were very friendly helpful and the whole place was dog friendly. The food was amazing, and the drinks to. It was all rable service. Honestly the best tearooms I have ever been in.

From the bottom of my heart 5 stars in every area❤️👍🐶

Beautiful tea rooms we love it there. So dog friendly our Skye loves the treats and comfy bed. Food is delicious and we usually take a couple of the delicious cakes home with us. Love the fact it is a typical English style tea rooms with pretty china teapots and cups. Lovely couple that run it as well. Top mark's from Margaret William and Skye 🐕❤

Second time around and still ranks as one of the best cream teas I've ever had. Luckily, this time, we got straight in. Reasonably priced and excellent tea and coffee. Owner and staff excellent. Worth a trip. 👍🏼👍🏼⤵️⤵️

By far the best cream tea I’ve ever had in the 15 years of visiting Cornwall - A must visit and a Gem of a place…

Such a warm welcome topped with absolutely the best food and tea. Visited last week for avocado, bacon and egg on toast and it was delicious. The tea room is beautifully decorated and furnished with absolute attention to detail that is very tastefully done. The couple that own it are delightfully warm and friendly and obviously the very best bakers ❤️ Thank you we can't wait to visit again.

It's definitely worth a visit. Excellent selection of drinks and cakes, lots of different teas, cakes, other snacks, and gluten-free cake selection as well. Super clean . Very friendly owners. Dogs are made very welcome with bowls of water, treats, and blankets, too lie on. The quirky toilet is very clean but has its own small stream running through it !

Super nice tearoom in a nice little fishing village. Large selection of teas. And the scones and cake are also highly recommended. Definitely go if you're in the area. Dogs are also welcome.

Absolutely lovely! The afternoon tea was the nicest thing we’ve eaten in Cornwall so far and the staff were brilliant. To say that dogs are warmly welcome is an understatement.

Fabulous cafe in Mevagissey. Sandwiches really tasty and very reasonably priced. Beetroot and chocolate cake with clotted cream out of this world! Superb apple pie again with clotted cream. Beautiful tableware. When in Mevagissey make a beeline for Teacup Tearoom.

Stumbled across this little beauty which was a little pot of gold. A huge warning though when visiting humans don't get served first, the dogs do! These guys are amazing, they go above and beyond so many little extras hand saintizer on the table so u can spritz before u eat after loving your pet, there is dog beds and even dog blankets I didn't see any blankets for me but hey at least it was there for me pooch haha. The cream tea was amazing the scone was HUGE!!! couldn't eat it all so took home for later, the Victoria sponge well I don't think it touched the sides my hubby ate that like someone was gonna steal it from him. Buzz our black labrador was treated like a king biscuits fresh water and even had hes picture taken. I suggest if you are ever in this beautiful place your first stop should be the tea room trust me you won't regret it. Thanks guys for an amazing afternoon tea and we will sure be back in the next few days.

A legitimate review based on my experience today

Amazing scones including freshly cooked gluten free ones! Highly recommend.

Wonderful afternoon again great portion friends service nothing too much trouble

I don't want to say this but this place could be so much more if the owners didn't have such an attitude. Consequently I'd say it was a case of average food, uncomfortable service. The food we ordered was ok, and the portion size was average for the price charged (post covid and price hikes this is the case everywhere now), but honestly, I don't think I saw the staff crack a smile even once. I found the male owner's general air very dismissive, as if us being there was an inconvenience for him. The place wasn't even busy, so I have to guess he is just like that normally. Given he's chosen to run this business we found his surly air, as well as the lady behind the counter, rather strange and off-putting. Add to the mix the fact that they spent their time in the food prep area gossiping / complaining about somebody and doing it loudly enough that everybody could hear, and it was really embarrassing for all of us customers! I for one wish we'd left before ordering lunch. It's not hard to be professional, smile and mean it, but perhaps the owners feel their 'award winning' reputation means they don't need to try any more. Personally I'd find somewhere else for lunch, or pack your own sarnies and go sit on the harbour with a take away coffee unless you want to spend your lunch listening to somebody have their character assassinated! I would have stayed for what looked to be like delicious scones, but honestly, I couldn't take what I could hear from the kitchen area any longer! Very uncomfortable.

A very very dog friendly tearoom..the dogs get served first!! Everything is very clean, including freshly laundered dog blankets! The cheese scones are an absolute must. I have never ever come across scones as cheesy. Definitely worth a visit!

Charming doggy friendly little place. Lovely scones. Cornwall to a tea!

Great place to dine and I hope to come again soon! The facilities were nice and clean, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant experience!

What an amazing find! The service was exceptional, as was the food, the furnishings and general ambience. The attention to detail was fabulous. And dog friendly, wow, there were home made treats, blankets, individual dog bowls and lots and lots of love for furry friends. Thank you Teacup Tearoom.

Lovely gem! The staff are lovely, and they serve excellent British grown tea, scones, cakes, and more. It felt like a good value for the excellent flavours and environment. They are super dog friendly including dog pics on the wall, dog beds, and treats. Facility wise, there is also a small toilet in the back.

By far the best cream teas around, service brilliant, dog friendly, plenty of veg & vegan options, strongly recommended, thank you

Amazing little Tea rooms, Great Service and friendly staff. Best Cream Tea i have had for awhile and fantastic cake. Also great selection of treats for dogs.

We went in today, with our large Irish Doodle and nothing was too much trouble.Fab food, excellent service.

Absolute gem of a cafe with good old fashioned service from a great couple . Nothing was too much trouble and everything catered for the dogs too. Would highly recommend. Food was outstanding

Such a great place......excellent cakes and drinks

Very british and very lovely atmosphere. I had a Cornish Cream Tea with Scones, Clotted Cream and Marmelade. It was sooo delicious! They have a big heart for dogs, so my dog had a comfy visite too.

Quite possibly the best cream tea I’ve ever had, and amazing value for money. Lovely couple running the tea room adds to the delightful experience.

Absolutely stunning in every aspect. Cream tea was stunning and the attention to detail was marvelous

Absolutely the worse customer service I have ever experienced , owners where very unwelcoming and rude in every every way , all I wanted was a gluten free scone as they where recommended as having best gluten free scones locally , they would not even give me a scone to take out . Both owners where rude and unwelcoming , avoid at all cost . Iv either in retail hospitality sector for a long time in a big organisation and was appalled by thier attitude being celiac is so hard to find safe food and they both shocked me with their customer service . I asked to take out a cream tea with my take out coffee as everyone where else I have been able to with no problem . They would not allow me to take a scone out as they do not want to litter harbour but were happy to serve coffee in paper cups which could have littered the harbour . We took out paper cups Back to them just so they can see not everyone letters harbour . Avoid at all cost - even the local told us that no local use them as they have a bad reputation with the locals . Looking at the owner answer to my honest review he’s also a lier and not an honest man , as I did ask for a cream tea to take out as they sold gluten free scones and was refused . The coffee I did take but as soon as I got out side I said to my mom that I felt like saying keep your coffee as you where both so rude

Went in for gluten free scone to take away,was told could not have take away, as they want us to enjoy the experience, and did not want us to add litter on the harbour,,but were happy to serve us take away coffee," litter "there attitude was the worst part of it,went down the counter to look at the scones,to be told this was her area, and anything we wanted to look at was at the front, when questioned on the different areas,was told this was her prep area,,will never return,,oh and by the way,when we finished our coffee I made the walk back to return the coffee cups back to them,as they ask in mevaggise to return your rubbish to place purchased, and to ensure they knew I didn't litter the harbour, ,rude yes, unfriendly yes, condescending yes,and yes they can reply to this, ,but will not change my comments, opinions ,and i will also point out, we were not rude at any time,in fact stayed pleasantly polite,even though i wanted to tell them, they were lacking in customer hospitality

Possibly one of the rudest, bad mannered propritors in Cornwall.

Absolutely the best cream tea I've ever had! The scones were perfect and the tea was delicious. The clotted cream was so luxurious as was the raspberry jam. Husband had a cheese scone with cornwall butter and said it was perfect too Really cute place with lovely owners. Perfect for dog owners as well, with lots of treats blankets and warm welcomes. Wish this was a local for us as I would be a regular.

Great cheese scone with BACON 🥓

Excellent service at this very dog friendly tearoom during our visit to Mevagissey. Hosts extremely friendly and welcoming to both humans and dogs. Enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and a cake here and would highly recommend to anyone passing by. Range of beverages and cakes on offer was amazing. Thanks for an enjoyable visit :o)

Lovely tea rooms, dogs welcomed. Excellent food. Cream tea was lovely.

What a breath of fresh air to find a lovely tearoom that has gluten free options and goes that extra mile to ensure that dietary requirments are met. As gluten intolerant I struggle in cafes to find anywhere that can provide a range of gluten free options, but this little gem is on top of it all even saying on the menu that they take cross contamination very seriously. In some places I am made tp feel like i have burdened the staff with my dietary requiremets but not in The Teacup Tearoom. The man who served us was also very friendly and gave us a few laughs.

Absolutely fantastic tearooms! The best people too It’s award winning and you can see why So much choice They even helped me to learn how to make the perfect cup of tea - thank you x

Fabulous tea room which gets better every time we go. Clearly a huge amount of thought and work has been put in by the owners to creat the outstanding experience.

Hubby and I popped in with our two whippets for just a cup of tea, saw the delicious cake offering and couldn't resist. The welcome was genuine and warm. The whippets were made comfortable on a dog's bed and blanket provided, and a fresh clean bowl of water appeared without asking, along with a doggie biscuit each! If our holiday time permits, we would love to pop back in for another well made, well priced and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend a visit, particularly if you have a well behaved pooch or two and need to have a rest or a warm up in the current awful weather.

Delicious!! Lovely scones and cream and I don't normally like cream teas! Lovely service, definitely go visit.

What a wonderful find on a rainy morning in Mevagissey! We had a lovely breakfast and our dog was thoroughly spoiled with a bed in the window and homemade treats. Food and cakes all looked delicious, great coffee and lovely owners. Will definitely be back!

Such a lovely cafe, it's nice to support independent places and even better, they are VERY dog friendly. I loved all the quality touches, quirky tea pots on cork mats, beautiful engraved teaspoons and Polaroids of all their doggie customers on the wall. I noted that every table cloth was changed between customers and there was no scrimping on the clotted cream either! The portion sizes are very generous in general, for example, instead of a few crisps on the side of the sandwich, a small packet of Burts arrived. With all these lovely special touches I had to wonder how they make a profit, especially in these times, everything is bigger and better than you get at most places (and it's really not expensive), but I'm pleased they are as they have been going for 6 years (I think!) so long may they continue. Would definitely return.

We popped in whilst in Mevagissey for half day trip. Only had a teacake and a cuppa.

Lovely tearoom, different teas and coffees but really look after your poochie. Blankets, water, home made treat and even take a picture and pin it on their visiting doggie wall. Different and delightful

lovely tea, coffee and cake, really friendly staff and amazing service. had a really nice feel and the dog got a free fancy dog treat and water, as well as a bed by the window

Authentic cornish cream tea, huge scone, loads of cream and jam , delicious .Great selection of loose leaf tea( with advice) and so dog friendly with a free treat too , got the paws up from Carly

Owners know what they are doing. Dogs are welcome.

Coconut and lemon flapjack was the best dessert I’ve ever had and was a very generous size. The whole experience was a delight! Treats were given for to our dog - very kind!

5 star review. Fabulous place with great snacks and service. A very, very easy recommend.

This small cafe is an absolute gem and delivers the best authentic Cornish cream tea. Choices and explanations by the proprietor every step of the way to give you exactly what you want, to give you the best experience. Homemade scones delicious with plentiful jam and clotted cream beautifully presented. Choice of tea, and varied brewing times to give you the ultimate taste you are looking for. We can definitely recommend. The other food looked delicious too.

Lovely tea shop with proper tea, and beautiful homemade scones. The owner was very welcoming, and we would definitely visit again if in the area.

Lovely tea room that tries hard to deliver, maybe just a little too hard on times, when you may want to be left to enjoy the quality on offer. Great selection of teas and coffees. Cakes were very good, the ginger cake surprisingly so. The Bakewell Cookie Pie had me quizing the proprietor as to how it was made, it was so tasty. Very rich. I may have struggled to get through the whole of the man-sized slice, but thankfully, we share. Worth calling for the perfect combo of tea and cake.

We had a lovely warm welcome for us and our two Cockapoo pups. I loved that there was a very comprehensive list of teas available including locally grown tea which was so good. Scones and clotted cream were outstanding. Best of all, our pups were made a fuss of and offered treats and blankets. Thank you.

Dog friendly, treats, water, and a blanket for the dog plus a photo for their wall of fame. Very nice

Fabulous cream tea. Generous portions and lovely china teacups! Wide choice of loose and bag teas. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful tea cafe. Wonderfully good scones with clotted cream and jam. In addition to the normal teas, you can try out a whole menu of local teas. The tea is served with a tea hourglass (3 5 or 7 minutes). A paradise for every tea lover.

I never write reviews, but I can’t praise this place enough! I am vegan and was prepared for some tea with oat milk while the rest of my family would enjoy cream tea - I couldn’t be more wrong!! I had a vegan cream tea that what heavenly, and there were several more options for me to chose from. Everyone at the table truly enjoyed the delicious food, the atmosphere is simply fantastic and the staff super friendly. Thank you all at the Teacup Tearoom x

Such a lovely place with perfect atmosphere. Scone was massive and freshly. Great service, would definitely recommend.

Tickity Boo Tea Shop! Cream Teas are superb ! A ‘must’ visit.

Fabulous little tearoom. Cakes are just gorgeous 😍

Loved this tearoom. From the minute we went in, us and our dogs were made to feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and the dogs were brought water, blankets to sit on and treats but first checked if they were allowed them. We had an amazing deluxe hot chocolate and lemon curd flapjack although there was nothing I wouldn't have had. Also lots of vegan choices. The proprietors were absolutely lovely and really friendly. A real gem and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much.

What a lovely lil place. Very welcoming staff and one incredibly knowledgable owner, what he doesn't know about teas isn't worth knowing. I had a cream tea IN THE WRONG WAY 😆 And a Earl Grey with a vanilla twist! Superb.

I came for a cream tea, and this did not disappoint at all. A choice of jams, beautiful scones and an owner (?) Who clearly knew all about their history and was up for a conversation. Lovely little café would recommend to anyone, and if you have a dog they have food for them too.

Delicious scones and delightful tea. Let down a bit by the odd covid safety measures kept in place. A family had a young child who was “isolating” so at the end of our yummy tea I was told not to go past the family to the peruse the counter of cakes. Interestingly none of the family were wearing masks in this public restaurant. Very confusing. It did not seem logical or safe to have an isolating person in a public tearoom! Anyway, it was still a lovely Cornish cream tea. Edit following owners response: the fact we are doctors is neither here nor there. Of course, you may do whatever you please. Thanks for the lovely scones.

It has been a while since my visit to this fabulous tea shop but it impressed me so much that’s I even put it on my never ending to do list to review it and I’ve finally got around to it! Immediately as I walked through the door my mum and I were greeted with lots of passion and enthusiasm, and the beat bit I was asked if I had any allergies. I was already prepared for the fact that I wouldn’t be able to eat the deserts as I am dairy intolerant so went for a coffee, but to my surprise and delight they had delicious baked goods to suit everyone! So not only did I have a slice of coffee and pecan cake to go with my coffee but I took a chocolate and caramel tart home with me which did not disappoint! I loved how dog friendly the place was also and being bakers ourselves it was lovely to chat passionately with the staff about our common passion. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Incredible café, I honestly cannot recommend this beautiful little tearoom enough

Best ran tea room ran anywhere .. Great owners and very friendly staff

Wonderful experience, fantastic scones great choice of tea’s. Downside scruffy unhygienic paper menu’s.

Marvellous. Proper tea room with delicious cakes

Amazing little find. Very dog friendly and so relaxed with my dashie-raptor! Friendly faces and cute little place. A few steps up, but suitable for all ages, including my 87 year old mother in law. Lovely cakes and scones and amazing tea! Definitely recommend!!

This cafe is very nice .It has loads of dog pictures,the dogs are friendly and the chocolate cake is ♾/10.This is 5 stars⭐

The best place in Mevagissey for cream tea, bacon sandwiches and bagels. This is a real gem and run by the most delightful couple.

VERY lovely food and drinks with loads of gluten free and vegan options

Amazing cream tea, huge scones with lots of cream & jam. Huge choice of teas and excellent table service.

Huge scones, great locally sourced tea (I wasn't aware Tea was grown in the area but according to the waiter it is!) and a lovely helpful waiter. Very sweet and is definitely worth a visit.

Another wonderful visit to this fabulous place. Always friendly and welcoming, today we took our rescue dog Ozzy for his first visit. He got a treat, a blanket, a drink and lots of fuss. We had a gorgeous lunch and picked up some stunning scones to take away. Teacup tearoom is brilliant for gluten free and diary free too and everything tastes amazing. Thanks so much to our wonderful hosts. We’ll be back again soon.

This is an amazing place. So friendly and welcoming, made a huge fuss of our dog! Best scone too! We left our dog rucksack behind with his bowl and treats in it. The owners went out of their way to get it back to us. We can’t thank them enough. If your ever in the area pop in you will be sure of a great welcome with great food and service! Big thank you to you both. Laura, Adrian and Willoughby…x
