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

Absolutely LOVE this place. The food was really tasty and the cream tea was delicious. We were completely cheeky and took up the offer of butter, as well as the cream and jam. All the staff work so hard and are very friendly. Especially loved the couple working during the week (we ate here a few times and didn’t see them on the Saturday). The lovely blonde lady from down south, and the gentleman working on the till. Both were the reason we kept coming back. (Also because of the food). Had breakfast. Had a cream tea. Had a lunch. All were great. A real asset to Perranporth.

Never been in before but great place. Good friendly people running it. Gluten free available , which has become rare in this high street. Great cream teas and wide choice of regular cakes.

We visited on our last day of our holiday, the lady serving at the till was really helpful with providing me Gluten Free options for my breakfast, even double checked with the chef to ensure it was safe for coeliac. Breakfast was great and will definitely return on our next visit.

Absolutely love the cove, been coming here for years. Customer service is exceptional, food is exceptional, my wife is celiac and the cove offers a variety of gluten free options including superb cream teas. My only small request would be gluten free sausages which in my opinion are better than other sausages and would make things even better for celiacs, but I’m being severely picky the cove is a truly outstandingly friendly place to visit. Thank you to all the lovely staff and management 👏👏👏👏

Absolutely fantastic. Cream tea was the best I've ever had. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Menu offers lots of different food and reasonably priced, something for everyone, the service is very quick I can definitely recommend The Cove. Cafe. Thank you 😊

Best breakfast ever, really great place to eat, will definetly be back, my mum loved it too. Perfect 👌

Nice food , lovely cakes and great , friendly service .

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and so accommodating about my gluten free requirements. Well prepared and priced range of food and drink options. Thank you chef 🧑‍🍳

Everything we ate and drank was absolutely fantastic!!! We travel all around Cornwall and this was the ‘Best Yet’!!! Wonderful! Well worth a visit!

Great value, great food and exceptionally friendly staff. The cream tea was quite possibly the nicest myself & my wife had ever had! Highly recommended!

Food is fresh and well cooked. Coffee is excellent.

Breakfast is still good, however quality of bacon has gone slightly downhill and overall it’s fine a little expensive

Love this little cafe on the high street. Always pay a visit every time we are in town. The staff are so friendly and the food is superb. Really quick service too.

Excellent Victoria sponge cake. Lovely cup of tea. Great breakfast sandwich and coffee and frappe!

I really love Cove Cafe in Perranporth. It's a really relaxing, friendly atmosphere. The staff are amazing 👏

A lovely place, lovely ladies who greet you with a smile and polite , the price is reasonable for a full veggie breaky is £9.95 and when you come from Cambridge is a nice change! The breakfast is clean and yummy , they have lots of options and I love that they serve breaky until 1:30pm! The only thing I’d change is the option to have mushrooms or some mixed grilled veg with the veggie breakfast , I’m sure if I asked they would have swapped something or added it. It’s our go to breakfast spot in Perran now, love it :) would 100% recommend

Lovely little cafe, very welcoming and friendly. Reasonable prices. Me and my partner both had full English breakfast and it was hot, fresh and well cooked. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This little gem of a cafe is amazing foods great perfect latte staff are super friendly don't believe anyone saying otherwise as they clearly don't have taste buds 😂

What a lovely little cafe! The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Good choice of food and drinks (especially gluten free) at reasonable prices. We enjoyed our sandwich/bap, the cheesecake was delicious and the best cappuccino I’ve had so far. Glad we popped in!

We stopped off for a family lunch, we had a very nice meal, The food came out fast and the customer service was fantastic.

Friendly, bubbly workers. Seems like a nice working environment too. Lovely clean cafe, and lovely food and lots of options! 5 star for me!

Super helpful and great breakfast before starting the next leg of the SWCP.

Very unfriendly not a nice vibe

Great service....Good menu ... Gluten free too.... Clean , very clean ... It's loved and they want you to love it too... Flat white to die for

Wasn’t happy with my order and the staff were rude and not very polite.

We were welcomed on arrival and immediately felt like our custom mattered. The lady that took our order was so friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. The young man doing the food prep delivered fresh, delicious and well presented meals. We will visit again soon.

Popped in with the children and menu was perfect for what we were fancying for lunch. Breakfasts being served upto 1.30pn so couple of us had the veggie breakfast bap, which is pictured. Good value and would come again when next in Perranporth (and try something else on the menu!)

Extremely pleasant staff and very tasty take away prawn sandwich and crab bap. We have adventured from Scotland and had a dip in the sea pool, the food was a perfect after swim treat🥶😋

We popped in with our 2 children. Very clean, good pricing. Lovely welcoming staff. Great value, had a large mochaccino for £3.65, excellent value.

Excellent sunny cafe with a very friendly welcome, delicious veggie breakfast and great coffee. Highly recommended after a night out in Perranporth.

Nice cafe, staff friendly and helpful. Good food, great coffee. And other beverages. Indoor and outdoor seating..

I come here every time in am in Perranporth. Really simple food made very, very well. The service is always great and food comes out quick.

We popped into the Cove Cafe for tea/coffee and breakfast before we began our journey home. We found the staff super friendly, our breakfast baps/sandwiches were excellent and personally, I find the coffee the best in Perranporth. The cafe was super clean. We are back down again in a few months and will certainly visit the Cove Cafe again. Thank you for making us feel very welcome.

Friendly, professional staff, the facilities and cafe were lovely and clean. I had a veggie bap which was delightful, we would definitely return.

Always breakfast or lunch at the Cove, every time we are in Perranporth. O friendly and the food is always nice.

Lovely place, we came for breakfast and sat outside because we had the dog, staff were so accommodating and lovely, they let me buy some sausages for my dog to eat. Our food was delicious and service was quick, would recommend!

A really great little cafe. When the tummy is rumbling, it delivers everytime

Breakfast was awesome latte just as i like it great selection of cakes and very friendly staff and service highly recommend 👌

It's a rare thing to see these days....a bissness that uses old fashioned pride in what they do....brilliant place spotless and fantastic service...well done to all the staff at the cove you have got it right.

Nice clean cafe, friendly staff, reasonable prices

Loved this place, lovely friendly staff

When i get a job near here, I always pop in. Food is great, fresh and very tasty.

Another trip to Perranporth, another visit to The Cove, well, 4 visits over the weekend! We absolutely love the food, the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Thanks to you all, keep doing what you do, look forward to coming back in 2024!

The cove in perranporth in Cornwall is the best cafe u can go for to relax the staff there is very friendly and always polite and very helpful will go there again best cafe around

Only stopped for coffee. No complaints.

Great for post dog walk coffee and bacon bap!

Food was really great, but what I want to highlight is the staff who were wonderful. So so friendly and helpful, just a really nice relaxed atmosphere created by the lovely staff. 100% will return next time we are in Perranporth, even if the food wasn't as good as it was we'd still return based on the staff! Absolutely 5 star

Great service, lovely staff and great food! We have visited the cove many times and you just can’t go wrong! We ordered some lunch on our visit: - Tuna Panini - Sausage and bacon roll - Jacket potato with Tuna Mayo - Cappuccino - Latte - Can of Diet Coke Faultless, quick service, yummy food and VERY lovely staff.

Amazing every time we go great staff and great food

My mum and I went into the Cove Cafe when we visited Perranporth recently. She had a fruit scone cream tea. I had a sweet chili chicken with cheese and tomato baguette with salad. The staff were lovely and friendly, told me there was a wait for food, but we hardly had to wait at all. My mums scone was warm and fresh. My baguette was delicious. Lady popped over to ask if everything was ok. Would definitely recommend this place. Very clean, staff very attentive, lovely food and reasonably priced..thanks Cove.

Sehr leckerer Cream Tea, guter Kaffee und super lieber Service!

Very lovely place to eat. We've eaten here a couple of times, and the staff have been lovely each time. Great for a quick bite to eat and the prices are very reasonable. The place is clean, has sanitizer for your hands if you wish to use it. I didn't want a big drink so I had a kids size hot chocolate which was lovely and a great hit of chocolate.

The nachos were exquisite, and the flake cheese cake was indubitably the best in the country.

So we got a seat outside. Very busy little cafe. Asked for hot chocolate, never arrived to be told we haven’t ordered it, but definitely added to bill ad watch her charge me so had to pay again, tables are not cleared very quick at all and had to clear my own table before sitting down, staff seem very slow, unhelpful and not very polite. However the food (we had 3 cream teas and a waffle) was AMAZING! I’d go again for the food if the service was a little better! Staff also knocked over someone else’s glass from the table and then expected an apology from the customer, and was asking the customer 20 questions about it, like what was it, who’s was it, how did you brake or etc. over all service was poor but the food was amazing.

Good food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

The most delicious full English breakfasts ! We came at 9 am and was very busy the staff weren’t phased by this at all. The food was perfectly cooked and the service from all staff was excellent. Such a warm and friendly welcome ! Perfect way to start our day , thank you x

My husband and I went for some lunch and it was a lovely little place, the staff were lovely and the food was great! Will definitely be returning when we come back again!

Nice place. Only had hot drinks here. Nicely prepared and presented. A little over priced, but to be expected in a tourist location.

Great cup of takeaway coffee Lavazza Gold for breakfast

Lovely spot. Staff are all really lovely chatty and friendly. Good playlist of music 🎶. Always feels sunny in there even when it's raining . And who Is that handsome GINGEr in the black apron!? 🤗

Delightful little place - staff were super friendly and helpful. Good menu, the food was delicious and the service prompt. What more could you ask for! Definitely coming in here again.

Fantastic little cafe! Friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food! Definitely worth a visit when in Perranporth. A new favourite with the family 😊

We live a few miles away and when in Perranporth, we visit The Cove for lunch. Always very popular. Nice food and good service. Thank you.

Came across this cafe walking around the shops, popped in for a breakfast , staff are lovely and very welcoming! Quick service and food and drinks were delicious best breakfast we’ve had😀 thank you xx

Had a lovely breakfast here. Staff are friendly and managed to fit us in for breakfast even though it was extremely busy.

Food was excellent the staff are all friendly and warm and welcoming,what more can you say

Lovely cosy cafe. Staff are lovely and the food is amazing.

Lovely breakfast & a nice milkshake to cool down

We had a delicious cream tea and a sandwich. The staff were all very friendly and were all smiles. Definitely recommend it.

Extremely accommodating and welcoming cafe on the main high street in Perranporth. All ot food was delicious and well presented. My daughter enjoyed her vegan breakfast ( served until 1:30) , we also had lovely jacket potatoes, and paninis. Food was prepared freshly. We had individual teapots of tea and the milkshake was tasty.

Fantastic service we initially went over to piggywicks who couldn't even serve the bare basics we went over to the cove, who was absolutely lovely and very welcoming. Served my family really well and very very friendly I couldn't of asked for better customer service. The food was lovely, and very much enjoyed by my baby and young daughter. Thank you to everyone at the Cove for a great experience and making my family feel so welcome. Would definitely come back here again.

After a morning of surfing on the beach we were cold and hungry so decided to stop here for lunch. We were seated right away. We ordered 2 portions of nachos and a cream tea and cold drinks. The lady serving us was really friendly and helpful and the food when it arrived was excellent and not overly pricey. We would definitely return if ever in Perranporth again.

Polite, Friendly and attentive, food was great, highly recommended

Gorgeous scones melt in your mouth. Lovely friendly staff. Drove from Newquay just for a scone!!! As the perranporth lavender was closed on a Tuesday!!!

What a magic place ! Food is fantastic and good prices , very clean and modern feel to the place . The staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable. This is a must go to place if your in Perranporth

Cute little cafè, food was good and the staff were so lovely! They were brilliant with our toddler and made us all feel so welcome.

We sat outside in the sunshine and really enjoyed our coffee and lunch. The staff are lovely - very friendly and attentive, with prompt service on a very busy day for them. We will be back!

Great service - happy to change/adapt food to suit

Lovely food and coffee, came quickly. Friendly staff

We have been to The Cove twice now and we have to say it is so refreshing to have such wonderful customer service!! Very rare these days!!! Nothing is too much trouble! It was my partners birthday and they kindly put a candle in his carrot cake slice. It's the little touches!!! All the staff are outstanding as is the food and drink. Recommend highly!! Thank you to ALL the team 🤗

Staff can't do enough for you,always extremely friendly . Food is great too . We visited on several occasions and were never disappointed

Great breakfast..Good price lovely staff..

Just finished a trip a delicious lunch here at the Cove. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful and the food came quickly (and was amazing). The Cheesecake was incredible too. We will be back !

Lovely sandwiches and cream teas. Several gluten free options. Very friendly staff and a homely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Always a brilliant place for a lunch, simple food made very well, would recommend.

Excellent food and good service. Very friendly staff.

Perranporth isn't exactly blessed with fine eating places, so thank goodness for The Cove. It's a beacon in the culinary darkness of the town. The staff are warm and welcoming, the surroundings are clean and attractive, and the food is excellent. Take a look at the row of cakes and cheesecakes along the counter - they're mouth-watering! I recommend the Cove without hesitation. It's almost worth going to Perranporth just for lunch here!

Lovely food and lovelier staff. Very dog friendly. Thanks for making a fuss of Archie the dog.

Fantastic little place with fabulous service

Good food and good service, but a bit overpriced for what you get. Coffee was very good 👍. Descent place to eat but not exceptional

Great cafe in Perranporth. Nice fresh panninis and friendly service.

What can I say? Chose this place as it started to rain and it was a bit early for lunch. We started with a coffee but enjoyed it so much we stayed for a second drink, lunch and then a home made florentine for dessert! The welcome was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and homely and the food was fresh, homemade and delicious. All the staff were super friendly and helpful and we felt like treasured and valued customers the whole time. Our first visit but sure not to be our last!

Just eaten Breakfast there. Both my wife and I agreed it was exceptional. Welco.ing owners, and perfectly cooked food. Absolutely perfect

Good food and drink, reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

Have been to this cafe twice,so welcoming & friendly.

Lovely cream tea! Really friendly and welcoming.

excellent breakfast nice coffee we will be back

Having been on holiday all week and going back shortly we were looking for somewhere to have a last memorable lunch and came across this small, cozy cafe not a 2 minute walk from the carpark. As we walked in we were welcomed with a smile and encouraged to sit where we liked and pop up to order when we were ready. We each had a full english breakfast and hot chocolate which greeted us at the table and pleasantly filled our tummies, leaving just enough room for a decadent chocolate fudge cake. Delicious was all of it and not for a hefty price either, less than £15 each! Absolutely wonderful and we will be visiting again in the summer months.

Very nice ,good food ,good service, enjoyed.

We popped in for afternoon tea and toasted teacake We had a lovely warm welcome upon entering, and a good choice of seating (high seats and tables in the window to booths and comfortable bench seating. As well as outdoor seating The selection of food is reasonably priced and all looked amazing!! The cakes on display looked delicious and homemade All the staff were smiling and friendly, and the music was low-key and pleasant We are relatively local, so this will definitely be our 'go-to' for lunch in the future! I imagine this place gets rammed in the summer, but well worth a visit any time of the year
