The Honey Pot in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Yummy chicken shwarmar - very interesting plate with lots of textures and tastes- so filling we didn't have room for the hazelnut, blackberry and cardamom cake!

Have been here a couple of times when visiting Penzance. Very popular. Food is great, but I just wish the staff didn't make you feel as if they were doing you a massive favour by serving you...

Great setting with a great vibe; all options covered including GF and Vegan. Staff were great - super friendly. And, great coffee on the side! Tops for us.

We went in 30mins before closing and were not made very welcome. One particular member of staff was obviously having a difficult day, not only was curt with us, banged down cutlery, overfilled hanging basket hence water dripping onto floor, not her fault apparently. The tea and cake were delicious, a shame about the atmosphere.

A super cozy cafe with vert friendly staff and great coffee. The food was sensational. It gets very busy but there is a decent amount of seating squeezed into the small space.

You can feel the love and dedication in this small establishment. Overwhelmingly surprised, well priced, incredible lunch, skillfully made drinks and a calming, relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful lunch on our last day in Cornwall.

Quality tea and coffee and fantastic home made cake selection. Lovely cozy interior and friendly staff - a real find and will definitely return.

The nicest breakfast I'd had whilst in Cornwall. I had the special breakfast. Service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend and would return.

Had a lovely cream tea for two. Two warm scones each, good cup of tea, generous amount of jam and cream, and even advice on which way around to spread them! So environmentally conscious that there were no napkins provided, which for a cream tea is a bit of a necessity. Found some on the counter when paying.

We took refuge in here on a very rainy Saturday for brunch. They had already had a very busy service and had run out of a few key ingredients but happily substituted. Full breakfast was good and tasty, flatwhite was strong and poured well. It's a very chilled out place with a nice vibe, in an area of Penzance that's great...lots of good local shops.

Sat. 8:30 a.m. on the southern England road trip chose the “honey pot” for breakfast today. Super nice service, highest quality British breakfast ever had... in all variations Meat -> Vegan... when ordering they ask about allergies/intolerances... Great selection of tea and cakes... aaaand finally got a really good Americano... very perfect 👍

Relaxed, busy little cafe, we went as they advertised vegan and GF options and weren't disappointed. We had a big vegan brekkie which was lovely and vegan ciabbatta. Great coffee too. We took away some very tasty cakes as there were options for all dietary needs. Staff were friendly and our dog was welcome too. We visited on a busy Sunday morning and didnt book but seems to be a high turnover of customers so we got a table almost immediately. Will try and go back for a return visit before we leave the area. :)

We visited The Honey Pot a couple of days ago. I’m coeliac and they have a fantastic range of the gluten free food. I had the gf cream tea (be rude not to!) and had a takeaway gf lemon sponge cake. Absolutely delicious!! My husband had a crab sandwich (not gf) and really enjoyed it. I wish I was there longer to try more of their wonderful menu!

Nice coffee. We didn't have food as no chef until lunch time today.

It's very cozy and serves really good coffee and breakfast. Very nice cafe in Penzance ;-). However, not cheap and a bit cramped.

My hope for this place is that they are able to move somewhere bigger. It's so popular which is great but that does mean it's crowded and sometimes there are queues. It is worth it though

Excellent food and venue. It's just a shame that there's obviously stress within the service. It's popular and busy which is likely why, but when you go out for lunch it would be nice not to pick up on this sort of vibe. Such a shame as we felt rushed and a bit put off purely down to this. Service with a smile would make this place such a beautiful place to go to.

No hommity pie! Disaster! Otherwise food was good, service friendly.

This establishment really surprised us. We wanted to go somewhere nice for breakfast/brunch and this popped up as a recommendation. It surpassed all expectations we could have had for this place - coffee was amazing, food was delicious and the staff really hospitable. One of the best establishments in Penzance for sure and one of the best breakfast places I've been (and this would include travels to Barcelona as well). Highly recommend.

Family lunch was lovely, a really nice friendly vibe here👍

Really lovely coffee with lots of choice, very tasty food and extremely friendly staff. It is very nicely and cosily furnished and the food is fresh and home-made. An absolute recommendation!

Super cute place, 200% recommend <3

We actually tried this a couple of times on the recommendation of our Airbnb host. We shared/ had the Coronation chickpea, mango chutney coriander and lettuce in ciabatta and the Superfood salad with homemade hummus. We got both with the £10 meal deal which included a big cake bar and a small coffee, therefore £20 in total. The sandwich was that good that I thought it would be good to take back with us on our (as it turned out) 10-hour trip back to Huddersfield and indeed that sandwich and the carrot cake (rose cake for my son) were great and was a total bonus on our cross-country train.

Delicious food and very reasonable prices for Cornwall. The iced coffee was one of the best I’ve ever had and I make coffee for a living! Vegan options were really good too! It’s nice to have more than 1 thing to choose from

A lovely little tearoom, excellent for vegans too. Our vegan son wanted a Cornish cream tea and they went all-out for us, including finding a quieter location, turning the music down slightly and making sure a table was free after we called in an booked a little earlier in the day. The staff are so friendly and the food is excellent. My wife and i had seafood dishes both of which were gorgeous.

Had lunch here today for 3 people. Clean and friendly service, greeted with a smile. We arrived just before 12 and seated immediatly, orders taken quick and the food and coffees served within 15 minutes although not overly busy, they had steady traffic. We ordered the ploughmans sandwich, brunch roll and the tart of the day, all 3 were of good portions. Followed by flapjack, banana cake and french chocolate souffle cake all delicious. Great cafe will be returning thankyou, and highly recommend.

Great spot. Clean and friendly cafe. Quick and efficient service. Lunch time visit we had the brunch roll, ploughmans sandwich and tart of the day, all good portions. Flapjack, banacake, french chocolate souffle cake delicious. Definatley return and highly recommend.

Exceptional food, drinks and cakes in a welcoming, homely atmosphere. We were fgortunate enough to get a table on a busy saturday, there was soon a queue outside. Well priced and whoever bakes those cakes is a legend!

Lovely service, appealing menu and upbeat vibe. Gorgeous coffee. Only 3 star as food was surprisingly disappointing. Flatbreads were horrible (stale/undercooked), both dishes were a bit stingy with the toppings, and lamb was tough. Wouldn’t go back.

Lots of vegetarian options, amazing cakes, good value-for-price. Nice, but busy servers. It's a nice spot for a brunch, but I wished they mixed up the flavours a bit more (everything was salty)

Brilliant little cafe. We breakfasted here twice on both of the two days we were in Penzance and we loved it :)

Me and my partner ate here this morning for breakfast we ordered the big meaty breakfast ironic name as it was a standard size for a breakfast with no extra meats, the bacon was overcooked. Potatoes were undercooked and the eggs tasted like someone had dropped a spice rack over them I had an americano that was disappointing and had weird lumps in it. My partner had a tea that was disappointing. I have no idea how you screw up making a cup of tea. Possibly the dishes had not been done properly or out-of-date products. My plate had a sharp chip in it. And on top of all that the service was rubbish they were more interested in talking about their personal life than serving their customers. I got confused as they told us it was table service but then didn't bother to come to our table and then afterwards turns out you have to go up there to pay so it's not really table service. And after all that I get an overpriced bill. The only good thing was the mushrooms. They were delicious. We won't be returning and I will not recommend this place to anyone

This is a lovely cafe with really tasty food, a huge range of gluten free & vegetarian options too. There could be improvements with the service but maybe it was an off day for them as they did appear to be busy. Would return regardless for the banging food.

Going on the positive reviews we were expecting a good breakfast. My egg and bacon roll had a small smear of brown sauce underneath. I can put my own on if allowed which you aren’t. The bacon was overcooked and the egg was crispy, exactly how I don’t like them. My Husband’s full breakfast was equally unenjoyed. Providing a napkin would have been helpful. The toilet being situated in the middle of the kitchen seemed a tad unhealthy Not terrible but definitely well below average. Staff were very pleasant. People were queuing outside, I really would not bother.

The food was excellent but service was a bit haphazard. We were seated pretty quickly in a busy Tuesday lunch time during term time, it took ages to get some menus - we got up and asked if we could take some as it was taking so long. There wasn’t really any service with a smile, they were so rushed off their feet that food and drink were almost thrown down on the table. We could hear the chef shouting at the staff in the back too. Despite this, the food really was great. The jerk chicken on a flat bread was very filling, a little spice and accompanied well. The brunch sandwich was a decent size and made with excellent ingredients. The child jacket potato was also cooked well and even though it said it was half a jacket it turned up a full one! The cakes on the counter looked amazing and we would have ordered one if we weren’t so full from our lunch!

Had a great breakfast there. Lovely food and good, friendly service.

Absolutely delicious food and drink. Vegan/vegetarian.

Milk in lattes overheated. Coffee bitter. Wait order 20 minutes

Such a lovely place. Very nice decor, great staff and beautiful food. Wouod love to live local to visit more often. Definitely recommending ✌️

After stumbling off the sleeper train to Penzance my partner and I hauled ourselves to this cafe, where we indulged in brunch and b&e rolls. They also had a really gorgeous display of baked goods. Bit pricey perhaps but excellent quality of food and service! Loved the bustling yet cosy atmosphere.

I ordered a full veggie breakfast, very nice. I would have given 5 stars but wasn’t keen on the factory produced synthetic sausage. Suggestion; try making them from a mix of mash potato and veg. Coffee was very good

Great! Absolutely great. I love cakes, and I had here some of the most delicious cakes ever. Gluten free options, amazing. I’m my stay in Cornwall I went there every day. I will miss the place.

Went in here on the off chance for a cream tea . However were told they only had a few scones left so ordered one . Waitress forgot the other order of lemon cake . Had to ask for serviettes . Cheap jam . And to top it off customer toilets are located in the cafe kitchen. Won’t be going back

It’s a shame this isn’t closer to our home, otherwise I would visit more often. The food was excellent!

Tempted to make the 6+ hour round trip on the train just for another slice of cheesecake.

Top notch cafe. Friendly service. Flavoursome coffee and joyful homemade cheesecake.

Came in here to get some work done, coffee was lovely and the staff were the friendliest I’ve come across in a while, highly recommend x

Lovely vegan friendly eatery open from 2nd breakfast to tea. Can’t praise the vegan cream tea enough. Please deliver those heavenly scones to London! Of course the next best thing to vegan cream tea is vegan cream tea takeaway, eaten on the coastline near Land’s End :P The vegan big breakfast was amazing as well. The beans were flavored well and the broadbeans were lovely. The vegan pesto on the toast was luxurious.

Brilliant place, amazing food, LOTS of (simultaneously) gluten-free and vegan options including sweet treats. Great attentive service as well, would definitely come back.

Lovely food and lovely staff. The superfood salad is absolutely delicious

Das Honey Pot liegt am Rande der Innenstadt. Es eignet sich perfekt für den Start in den Tag. Es ist richtig gemütlich eingerichtet und die Auswahl an Essen ist toll, für jeden ist etwas dabei, egal ob mit oder ganz ohne tierischen Zutaten. Und es ist alles lecker. Dazu gibt passend einen sehr freundlichen Service, wirklich toll.

The coffee and service provided by the American waitress were fantastic, and the mushrooms on toast were outstanding. What a fantastic place to go!

They were able to accommodate my gluten-free and dairy free request. Their vegan cheese was actually good, and they have a lot of tea options if you are not into coffee. I wish I was not in a gluten-free diet cause everything looked amazing!!

Super lovely, friendly staff, accommodating for all dietary requirements and AMAZING food! 100% recommend, if your in Penzance you MUST go! Great cakes too :)

Nearly 15 quid for a very paltry mean (big?) breakfast one sausage, one lame fried egg some sundry nonsense & a bit of boiled kale Rubbish Don’t waste your time - go to either the Dog&Rabbit or Tremenheere

Lovely cafe with cozy atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Great selection of food, everything we ordered tasted amazing!

We stopped in Penzance on a drive from St. Ives around to Lands End and just googled somewhere to pop in for lunch. Couldn’t have imagined how wonderful the food would be in this cute little unassuming cafe! I had coronation chickpea in a ciabatta with a cauliflower soup and my husband had a crab sandwich with tomato and basil soup and all of it was just about as tasty as food can be! We took a generous slice of banana bread away with us to keep us going on our travels! Couldn’t recommend highly enough! We have saved it for next time.

Lovely cafe with great food and beautiful cakes!

Definitely book in advance for great vegetarian and vegan breakfasts. Service with a smile even though it was mad busy.

Really good and varied menu with very friendly staff.Highly recommended

Lovely coffee and delicious cakes.

Hadn't booked & grateful to be seated without having to wait. Healthy menu impressive. I mean a chai Hot choc! & chai tiffin to take away. Not to mention the tasty butternut soup & sourdough. Atmosphere buzzing but not intrusive. God willing will return.

Nice cozy cafe in a back street. Popular with locals

Small cosy cafe but brilliant service and yummy food

Great breakfast and great service for the doggie I had with me Very busy , sighn of a good cafe

Very friendly staff but no high chair facilities Only two available very sticky with no safety straps Disappointing as we had only baby sling with us .

Cute cafe serving great coffee and beautiful food. Staff were friendly and place looks clean. I’m going back tomorrow.

Very lovely cafe. We had coffee and a cake which was quite good. The staff are very friendly and the decor creates good vibes.

Nice little breakfast joint, eggs are amazing, friendly staff. Next time I'll be trying some cake!

The food is absolutely delicious and a great range. Absolutely recommend you book first, as it's as popular as it deserves to be and can be a bit crowded/hard to get into :)

A busy , bustling cafe with a lovely atmosphere and yummy food.. I had a vegan cream tea and and my wife had a slice of carrot cake, both very nice together with friendly staff . Would recommend a visit if you're ever in Penzance.

This place is such a little gem. We visited on a really wet day when I was losing hope of finding a nice place to eat with the family. As soon as we walked in it felt cozy and homely and the food was absolutely amazing. I can honestly say it was the best food I’ve eaten out in a long time. Well done guys, beautiful job.

Felt slightly uninviting when told we couldnt just get coffees on a Sunday afternoon, 1 hour before closing. High prices for Penzance. Prefer other local establishments. Would be good to impress family or friends with a Sunday roast.

Had tbe Dahl for lunch today. Absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and healthy to boot. I ate alone, but felt very comfortable. Fast service, polite and efficient.

Our first choice for breakfast in the area.

What a fantastic place. Really small inside so gets a little cramped but the food was awesome and our servers couldn’t have been nicer. From the full English breakfast to the wonderful cakes with beetroot, everything on our table for 8 was polished off with big smiles.

Lovely little cafe! Fab fresh coffee and lovely brunch roll something really unique to the usual - bacon, halloumi, pea quac, chili jam and a fresh ciabatta who would have thought all that goes together! Quick service

Visited on Monday having read good reviews. Enjoyed a nice coffee and cake/breakfast. The plum, honey and almond cake moist and tasty, and the sausage & egg ciabatta hit the spot! Could do with a bit more room between tables, and had to ask for various bits of cutlery, sugar and napkins, but all provided through the friendly staff.

What a beautiful place for lunch in Penzance. Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. The ploughman’s is lovely.

What a wonder place. Tasty, beautifully presented dishes with a happy team gliding around clearly enjoying their jobs. It's dog friendly too. Highly recommend.

Context: Stumbled across this place, hungry on a Sunday lunchtime while in the city. Cosy and warm. Positives: Excellent food, friendly services. Good wifi. I had a tuna jacket potato which was huge! And came with two brilliant salads. Negatives: Time-wise, I think we were lucky to get a table. They close very early and turned away many people after us. Summary: Well worth a visit. I wish this place was always in walking distance from my house.

Amazing spot in the center of Penzance. The food and drinks were outstanding. The service was very friendly and warm. I wish I had a cafe close to home that was this cozy and welcoming. And again, the food was amazing and the best we had in Cornwall with lots of GF options. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

The Honey Pot became my favourite café while I was staying in Penzance. I especially liked the interiour and the charming staff while having delicous coffee :)

We had a lovely lunch at the Honey Pot which has options for everyone, vegan, veggie, gluten free and meat lovers! The drinks were delicious, we had a chai latte and a chai hot chocolate along with a crab sandwich and pulled pork burrito. The staff were friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome!

Lovely cosy cafe with a good range of food and very friendly staff. We had lunch, and the quantity was such we we're too full to have one of their great looking cakes. We are heading back tomorrow for coffee and cake!

A wonderful food experience all round. Will definitely be back

Had a lovely breakfast at the Honeypot, would definitely recommend it to friends and family, they were super accommodating and given that our younger is allergic to dairy the extensive vegan choices really helped satisfy the needs of our family as there was something for everyone

Lovely staff and cozy café with allergy-friendly options. Amazing chai latte!! However, we did not enjoy the 'meaty big breakfast' as the potatoes and the sausage were super dry and not tasty.

A cute little cafe with good selection of foods and drinks. Service was initially friendly but not sustained after our orders were taken. Getting attention to order more drinks was tough so we didn’t and went somewhere else. Worth it for the beautiful scones and old English charm.

Stumbled across the honey pot whilst on holiday, the food was amazing and the service was excellent, I would highly recommend visiting, great kids menu options (and kid friendly) Cakes were all voted 10/10 from all at the table 👌

Really lovely café, staff are wonderful and the food is amazing!

Such a superb little place. Friendly staff, super tasty food, massive portions and a great menu. Really great for vegan and gluten free but catering for all. I wasn't keen on the vegan clotted cream though. Also we struggled a bit with the noise level which is mostly inevitable with a small place but moving the coffee grinder to the kitchen would help - it is so so loud. But minor things, we loved this place and would highly recommend.

Really nice vibe,staff were helpful and friendly...food was great...

Gorgeous breakfast - one of the best we've had out. Definitely recommend a visit. The cakes looked amazing too.

Het eten was absoluut geweldig! Echt heel erg de moeite waard hier te komen eten. Vanwege de drukte was het personeel vriendelijk maar niet erg klantsensitief. Enige minpuntje is de acoustiek, wat luidruchtig. Maar dit is zeker een must voor je bezoek aan Penzance.

I had the nicest cheese on toast ever.

Lovely brunch spot and a very cozy atmosphere! Service was great, food and drinks came quickly and the restaurant as a whole was great

Great cafe tucked away in a side street in Penzance. When I visited the staff were still doing breakfast but they very kindly made me sandwich to take away as I was travelling back to Edinburgh. And what a sandwich it was, a delicious ploughman's packed with cheese, pickles, ham and salad. I also had one of their amazing brownies. The place is very popular and often has queues of people waiting but I can understand why, it is very good and I would highly recommend.

Tolle Scones, leckerer Café und Tee. Essen schaut auch toll aus. Sehr freundlich, sehr urban. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

An absolute delight! Great variety of food and high quality (regarding the sercice,too)!
