The Lookout in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The waitress did not listen and proceeded to get four orders wrong the coffee was good but the food left a lot to be desired hardly any choice we went at one o clock and lots of things were out of stock definitely would not recommend

Fabulous location, right opposite the harbour. Perfect stop for breakfast before making a huge journey back up north after a week in Looe. Ordering was really easy, everything was cooked freshly and the host was so pleasant whilst we were waiting for our food too

Lovely staff, lovely location and good food. Right in the harbour and well located for the beach and east looe town, great milkshake!

Had an amazing breakfast with the family. Fairly priced unlike most of the places around the same area. Very polite and helpful, will definitely be going back!! 5 stars from me.

We found it by chance and are glad we did. Really friendly staff, yummy cream tea with lovely coffee. All at a good price. Unfortunately, we left it too late to go back another day, and they were closing, but the staff was lovely and would have even served us despite wanting to go home. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Great sandwiches (brie and cranberry to die for - the brie was like cream!). Great coffee too. Very welcoming staff. Will definitely return.

RUDE OWNERS and food took over hr and half fir 3 people! I saw some bad reviews and thought most were good and chanced it. Never again would I go back!

Warm retreat from a cold and rainy afternoon , located near the harbour and beach. Bijou deconstructed interior . Heartfelt welcome. Excellent cakes and tea. They prefer cash, but cards also accepted. Definitely worth seeking out,

A morning coffee visit on a crisp January day saw a warm welcome to The Lookout. Greeted by friendly staff, where nothing was too much trouble. Busy cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and perfect views. Will happily return for hopefully more than a coffee….can’t wait to try the gluten free treats that were calling my name in the shop window! Thank you so much for the friendly welcome

A warm welcome, great staff and good coffee and food..what more van you ask for. And open in January, well worth the walk.

This place is a little gem. We were staying just down the road and even though the place is small they will take your number and call you when a table is free. The menu is varied, breakfasts, lunches, cream teas (which are amazing) and a large range of hot chocolates of all flavours, coffees, teas and cakes. The staff are the most happiest and helpful I've ever come across, especially the young lady with long blonde hair who was so cheerful and happy despite our teenagers having a variety of requests to their order. We went in there 3 times when we stayed in Looe. It's by far the best little coffee/breakfast/brunch/lunch/cornish cream tea place I've been to and I've been to loads in Looe. They are all nice but this one has a very nice atmosphere, twinkly lights (perhaps down to it being Christmas) and very nice decor throughout. We never had to wait long for a table, they would call us normally within 10 mins of them taking our number and we were a large group of 8. They always managed to squeeze us in without too much of a wait. The food was always amazing !!!

What a nice find and experience. Took a quick November trip to Cornwall Looe - and looked for a place for quick coffee and cake but and went past this place which looked cosy and quaint. Was buzzing and full so we so we tried several others in the Looe over the week. The last 2 days we got in early - and glad we did nice classy cozy and warm on a wet morning with a gentle buzz of chat and homeliness. First time we sat next to a guy working on his computer - who shortly after us sitting down, engaged us in a friendly chat - it was in fact Adrian one of the owners........what an interesting guy - a magician who moved down set up the cafe with his wife. But not just a cafe for visitors but for the community, hosting now and again small gatherings (eg mens, womens health meetings, jazz and gin nights etc). So not just a cafe but also supporting the community - and promoting interaction. However, we went there for a nice coffee and cake - and were not disappointed - coffee was great - best americano i have had - and i thought they were more or less all the same. Waffle was perfect sized portion. Second day, our last day in Looe - we went for the cook breakfast - again perfect size (and great to see three sizes of cook breakfast) - excellent portion size and local sourced produce. Although normally i am not a chatty guy in that atmosphere breeds casual interaction - and learnt alot and felt as a valued person/visitor........what a nice experience.....something i did not experience in other cafes in Looe/cornwall - that was just cafe and cake. I have to say loved the ethos, loved the experience and wished i had one of these on my doorsteps - i would be down then nearly every day.

Adrian was super accommodating with our group of ten friends. He took my number and called us when they had space. It was definitely worth the wait. Service was fast and efficient. Food was AMAZING. We had a range of hot cooked food, to sandwiches and cream teas! Highly recommend Extremely friendly atmosphere

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at The Lookout. Lovely staff and good quality food. Ted the Dood also enjoyed his free sausage very much 🐾💙🐾

Nice place friendly proprietor- service not bad, not brilliant. Had to ask for seats to be unlocked. Not impressed as they just gave us the key and a tea towel to DIY - not bad price but could do better.

A really lovely cafe with friendly staff and really really good coffee! The cream tea was the best we’ve had in Cornwall.

Fantastic place to have breakfast or lunch . Food was excellent, service very friendly and efficient..

Popped in for a cream tea after a boat. Lovely little coffee shop with friendly staff. Cream tea was superb, as were the pancakes and waffles. It's definitely worth a visit.

Great place only had drinks today but the food being served looked amazing and no one was complaining lovely place to watch the world go by and great friendly staff nothing to much trouble

Just stopped by for a light lunch, and this place offers this. Great light bites and definitely great coffee(+decaf too). Very friendly and helpful staff. So worth walking pass all the other places for this one. We saw a returning visitor just wanting to have a photo with the owner, so a good sign of a lovely place 👍

We came here for a light lunch. We really enjoyed the food especially the halomi wrap and the bacon, Brie and cranberry ciabatta. The coffee is excellent and the service is superb. Polite , friendly and accommodating staff. Can’t recommend this venue highly enough.

Absolutely amazing breakfast this morning at The Lookout! The vegetarian breakfast was outstanding, with divine veggie sausages, as was the Cornish Breakfast. The mushrooms were super tasty, even the granary toast and butter. Best breakfast we've had all week in lovely Looe! We'll be back...

Ate a great breakfast with a lovely views. Menu caters for all ages, the Sweetcorn fritters are a must try Local , high quality produce

What a lucky find. We happened upon an establishment that fulfilled all our needs - a beer and a little sandwich for one of us, lunch for the second and a Processo cream tea for me. All cream teas are definitely not all created equal....

Really lovely friendly staff, beautifully soft freshly cooked scones and a lovely cuppa! Thanks guys we will be back next year.

There are not many places you can go where literally they will do anything for you. My Sister and I wanted to sit on a bench by the water rather than in the cafe. The staff were so kind they offered to bring us a...

Busy little cafe with friendly, attentive staff. Coffee, tea and fruit tea served quickly and all tasted good. We ordered three cheese teas which were very tasty. We were each served a warm scone with the butter, grated cheese and chilli jam/onion marmalade served separately...

We tried the sweetcorn fritters which were deep fried, totally delicious and served with haloumi and a poached egg on top, with a homemade chilli jam. The coffee was great too. You should go too if in Looe.

The Lookout could be regarded as small yet perfect with five or so tables inside and three outside. However during busy times the staff happily take a number and ring you when the next table is free. As well as excellent coffee and cake (including...

A fabulous location, the most delicious breakfast and fabulous customer service - so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Food cooked to perfection, served hot and well presented. Highly recommend this gem of a place

Absolutely brilliant!!! What an amazing breakfast!!! We received a very warm welcome (about 30 seconds after they opened), and our two bigger dogs (not quite horses 😉 but lap dogs they are not) we’re equally warmly welcomed. We each had a breakfast, two small Cornish,...

Lovely little cafe. Such pleasant and friendly staff plus super doggy friendly too. Had very good traditional breakfasts here. Thoroughly recommend. Most people had dogs with them and so it wasn’t too embarrassing when our miniature sausage dog had a bark at every new arrival....

Both me and my husband had a large Cornish breakfast here. The food was fabulous, great quality and very tasty. The staff are all so accommodating and polite and gave excellent service. Have been here twice before last year and cant wait to come here...

Really nice staff, super friendly and helpful. We had a mix of stuff and it’s a sign of the times that a fish ginger sandwich cost roughly the same as a sacrificial virgin ( should you be lucky enough to find one these days) but...

Dog friendly, super helpful staff and delicious food. Warm welcome on arrival, including the dog getting a hello as well! Menu caters to all requirements. Food came out piping hot and tasted absolutely lovely! Highly recommended when visiting Looe!

😊 After reading some fantastic reviews about this place we decided to go there for brunch this morning. Firstly we had an extremely nice welcome from the guys working this morning and we were given a very extensive menu to choose from. The food was...

After a hip replacement 3 weeks ago, I needed to get out for a few hours. So we went for lunch at The Lookout. Even though it was a cold Wednesday Lunchtime in March, the Lookout was nearly full, we had the last table. After...

Return visit to looe,needed a coffee and cake ,amazingly we could sit in the warmth of the early March sun Great service , friendly and informative Coffee spot on and the billionaires flapjack was out of this world and what made my day was my...

We sat outside and enjoyed coffee and cake. Lemon and raspberry cake was delicious. Friendly owner who stopped for a chat. Lovely quayside location.

We stopped by The Lookout today, a beautifully sunny afternoon on Looe Quay. Service was swift by a very welcoming young lad - credit to the place. He was very polite, big smile acknowledged us & took our order, which arrived promptly. Delicious latte! Perfect...

Smart place with great hospitality and a decent amount of fussing over our dog. Food delicious. If you're in town, then visit!

We spent a lovely hour in here eating great food and drinking a bottle of wine. Adrian and his staff are very welcoming and helpful. The macaroni cheese is a highlight. Great service, friendly staff & our dog was made very welcome. Would definitely recommend...

Went here one rainy morning in December. The owner Adrian kindly let us come in before they opened to dry off. We originally just wanted a coffee but as it was so nice we stayed for breakfast as well. We was not disappointed. The menu...

I’d describe this as a little gem, a small cafe with a big heart! A “New to Looe” coffee morning was going on & we could see on their board forthcoming get-togethers for crafting sessions and various other types of meet up events. The coffee’s,...

Myself and several family members visited The Lookout after a long drive from West Sussex for our holiday in Looe. We were warmly welcomed by staff and they were very accommodating for us all as we aren't a particularly small party. Strict allergies within one...

I Rarely write reviews these days, however, when The Bacon and Brie sandwich is this good!!!! Best I’ve ever had. All the staff and the Owners are just delightful and give a service that is hard to find these days, always a welcome smile to...

Brilliant service, fun staff,excellent food and had a lovely time and dog friendly. And lovely environment. Would definitely go again

We came across this small tea room having seen lots of good reviews on a Coeliac Facebook page. With our young son being diagnosed Coeliac we have been looking for a gluten free cream tea that he can eat. Too many places out there still...

We had a cream tea and a gluten free cream tea and the whole family enjoyed every minute of it Thank you very much good service

Very welcoming and friendly environment. Tasty food and cosy inside and good selection of cakes and drinks. Reccomend for a coffee in the morning with a view of the queyside!
