The Coffee Cup At Altarnun in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Stopped to look at church and a walk around this lovely little village. Found this delightful coffee shop, we had a lovely cream tea, and lovely chat with the lady that runs it

If you’re on the A30 and you fancy a really tasty lunch or even just a coffee, take a two minute detour to this lovely coffee shop! Gorgeous food, freshly baked cakes and a friendly atmosphere make it must - plus the village is beautiful and well worth a stroll if you have time.

First time at this cute Coffee shop! It didn’t disappoint! Food and service was excellent.. Great that we could take our little dog in too. We will certainly come again. Cakes are delicious, all home made by the owner. A lovely lady who is very caring and friendly. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Now at a beautiful coffee shop in Ukraine but ‘The Coffee Cup’ remains my number one. This is my latte here, good but not as good as Andries at ‘The Coffee Cup’.

Lovely visit on our way past. Nice village

Andie’s homemade croissants, fruitcakes and brownies at Altarnun are worth the drive and short detour off the A303. Don’t miss a visit to the 12th Century “Cathedral of the Moor” dedicated to Saint Nonna. Altarnun features in Daphne du Maurier’s novel “Jamaica Inn”, though obviously not to the degree that Frenchman’s Creek features in her novel of the same name.

Fantastic little cafe. This cafe is small and obviously popular with both locals and visitors. Friendly service. The filled croissant are fantastic.

What a delightful little cafe in the village. A lovely range of freshly prepared things to eat and drink and a very friendly owner who served us. Very glad we called in and will certainly be going again. We were spoilt for choice but chose the ploughman's croissant with really tasty cheese and thick cut ham, lettuce, tomato slices and chutney with some crisps. Another customer had Nanna's fruit cake and recommended it as well.

We'd just started our trek home from St. Ives to Essex and needed coffee. We were randomly very ntear to The Coffee Cup so popped by. A warm welcome from the owner who was really sweet, superb coffee, and the most incredible twice baked almond croissants! Highly recommended ☕🍰

We ended up here by chance, what a gem. The café is great, the things are all homemade and so delicious. We had a great chat with the owner and thanks to her we also looked at the beautiful church 100 meters away. Thank you very much!!

Best coffee I've had in UK great atmosphere lovely home-made cakes. Gorgeous little town amazing church. Definitely worth visiting away from all the seaside rush and tourist trappings

Such a great coffee and cakes are just to die for

Fabulous homemade cakes and barista coffees with warm welcome in idyllic village setting.

Fantastic cakes and GREAT cappuccino, trust two Italian guys, it must be true! The owner is super nice and helpful, the place is lovely and being located in a small pretty village with a beautiful church from the 15th century being there is a joy for all the senses, not only the mouth!

Lovely little village cafe , great coffee and lovely homemade cakes . Very friendly locals and hostess, Andy who chatted to us. Lovely spot to stop after a visit to St Nonna’s church of Doc Martin wedding fame !

Absolutely superb soup & cheese scone, coffee and cake. Top rated customer care and the locals are so friendly. Highly recommend

Excellent cake, excellent coffee, excellent service.

Beautiful little village, everyone is very friendly, coffee is amazing as usual and the cakes are delicious, I really do recommend everyone to visit

Yum! Needed somewhere to recaffeinate on the way from Crediton to Falmouth and lucked out finding this cafe. The loaded Biscoff iced coffee, raspberry iced tea and homemade cherry bakewell blondie blew us away. Owner was lovely to chat to as well. We’ll be back 🤞

Best place for a stop off from the A30. Found this place purely by chance as we happened to be vaguely nearby when we needed a stop for our baby. The loaded iced coffee was nowhere near as sickly as it looks in the photo — you could still taste the beautifully-made coffee — and the iced tea was a triumph of refreshment. The owner was delightfully welcoming, the little village is charming, and we’re already planning to stop there every time we’re on our way past :)

Lovely lady and amazing coffee and cakes ❤️

Perfect spot for a stop off the A30! Lovely homemade cakes and fab coffee. Warm scones and Nan‘s fruit cake. Managed to resist a Kelly‘s ice cream. Free and spotless toilets in the village and interesting gallery next door. Take the to opportunity to visit the church and look at the carved pew ends.

Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly

Small coffee shop beautifull.loacted in.old village.

Very friendly and very tastefully

Adam and his wife run the most brilliant coffee stall at Trebarwith Strand and this coffee shop is just as good. Lovely people, lovely coffee, amazing bakes.

Really cozy cafe in Altarnun. Really friendly owner and great homemade cakes! The coffee is also excellent. Definitely a must try

Beautiful & sleepy little town and very friendly lady running the shop. Coffee & cake was delicious too so definitely worth the stop!

Cute teeny cafe, which encourages wider chats amongst the cliente. MI'd love to see a few savoury items on the menu - am sure cornish pasties or a sausage roll would go down extremely well. Peeps will still have their cake. Win win.. 🤔🤔

Visited on a warm day after looking around the church yard for my ancestors from the area...we were made to feel very welcome indeed and the ice cream and iced chocomilk were perfect for cooling us down!

Loved our stop at this cafe. Food and drinks were perfect. The owner was so friendly, gave us lots of recommendations for local area. Our dog also got a tasty treat from her.

Stopped for coffee at The Coffee Cup in this beautiful village on way through to Eden Project and so glad we did. Enjoyed a warm welcome from locals and a delicious homemade cream tea - though must say all the cakes looked yummy. Highly recommend this little place and should time allow, a wander round the quintessential village church.

Had coffee here and then tea and cake in the afternoon after a long walk. We were made to feel very welcome. Super cafe, highly recommend to anyone.

Heerlijke koffie met geweldig stuk zelf gemaakte cake genuttigd. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars die met al haar klanten een gezellige sfeer weet te creëren..

Took a detour on our way to the Eden Project to stop at this little coffee shop in a beautiful village. They've only been there for four weeks having taken over from the previous tea rooms. Lovely speciality coffee from Cornish roasters, and very friendly owner. Definitely recommend stopping by!

Lovely hot chocolate and cake We will return !

Stumbled across while on holiday, great little coffee shop, very friendly locals. Lovely cream tea but we caused an uproar by doing the jam/cream the wrong way around 🙈😂

We always try and drop in whilst on our walks or cycle rides, lovely little café

Un café helado y capuchino deliciosos. Probamos dos pasteles: el brownie de crema de cacahuete y el blondie de biscoff, ambos exquisitos. La dueña encantadora nos recomendó sitios para comer en la zona. El pueblo es precioso, merece la pena la visita

Delicious coffee and cakes, definitely one you cannot miss if you are in the area. Heck, it's worth a journey even if you're not in the area! Comfy seating and a warm welcome await you.

Beautiful village complimented by an amazing Coffee Shop. Home made baked treats, best coffee to compliment and an amazing ice cream for afters. 🙂

Great coffee. Great people. Delicious ice creams and cakes. Make sure you stop in here!

Stumbled across this little treasure yesterday whilst looking for a pub for lunch..We didn't find a pub but this didn't matter. we went on to have a large slice of Nana's fruit cake and a Mocha coffee each which we can recommend as an alternative..If your out that way you won't be disappointed..

Lovely little coffee shop/cafe. Very good coffee and excellent homemade cakes! Nana's Fruit Cake is delicious. Well worth swinging off the A30 to visit The Coffee Cup and the village of Altarnun.

Well even better than Coffee cup Cornwall ! Superb coffee with fantastic cake selection and the best service. Highly recommend a visit away from madding crowds!

OH MY DOG, PUP-PUCCINO I NEED MORE, GIVE ME MOOOOOOORE

Made a special trip across to The Coffee Cup at Alternun and it didn’t disappoint. We are regulars at Trebarwith so had to give it a try. Just to check the peanut butter brownies were the same 🤣 What a treasure Alternun is too. Will definitely be back ❤️
