Came in here for a quick coffee while walking the South West Coastal Path. Nice coffee and nice company from the barista Oscar 👍.

It wasn't too busy and the service was immediate. If the place is really busy there can be a wait because there is only one member of staff. I had piece of fruity flapjack which was delicious, with my hazelnut latte.

Fantastic food and coffee in the centre of the village with a car park close by. Can particularly recommend the cakes and the soup. Excellent place to start or finish a walk of this historic village.

Lovely coffee break stop before walking to St Agnes Head to trek park of the South West Coast Path. It’s based within the old men’s mechanical institute which seems to be a Locum hub of activities. There’s no meals served but we had a toasted tea cake with coffee and there’s a few cakes on offer. Special mention for Evie who served us and helped with some directions to our start point (as well as making our brews), she has a lovely manner.

Called in for lunch. Great mixture on the menu ended up having a meal, one of the specials of the day. Food and plates lovely and hot, staff very friendly and cleaning tables, kids toys & the menu pages with a proper spray. Main let down is car parking as there is none close by, on street parking 2 minutes walk there is a bus stop outside the door.

It's good to have this space in our village and needs to be used by the locals. Lots going on here and the Cuckoo Cafe does nice coffee and homemade cakes! Good place to meet for coffee and a chat and visit the Community market which is run once a month on a Saturday.

Went to an impromptu gig by the great singer song writer, Roo Panes, after his original gig (at The Minack Theatre), was cancelled. The Crumb was a great venue, a little small...or intimate sounds better, but Roo and band performed amazingly and it was a treat for those that travelled a long way to see him. Thanks to the Crumb for hosting.

Ordered for the first time from Sawai Thai last night and overall was very impressed with the quality, quantity and value of food on offer. We bought 2x Chicken jasmine rice dishes and a portion of chips to share. The order came to £25 including a can of coke and although £2.50 for a can is pretty steep the overall cost of everything I think is reasonable given location and quality. We headed over to Pentire Headland a couple minutes up the road to catch a beautiful sunset and enjoy some lovely food. The fried rice was beautiful and sticky but not stodgy. The chicken was fresh, moist, tasty and plentiful. There was a decent amount of veg and the meal felt healthier than most takeaway. The Chips at £4.50 were okay. Presumably generic frozen chips. Portion size was fair for sharing with another dish. Weren't awful but probably wouldn't order again. Also no vinegar available. Also to note on the picture there is 1 very salty chip.. I put my own salt on this wasn't done by the cooks. The main dishes however were so good yesterday I'm coming back later today to try some other dishes and hopefully catching another stunning sunset over Crantock/Fistral! Also to note staff were nice and friendly. Based on my first experience I'd rate it a solid 8.5/10. Will update this review after I've tried some more food tonight. UPDATED REVIEW... So I did return the day after as it was so good and this time I wanted to try some noodle dishes and also wanted to try some other meats. I ordered Pork Pad Mee Korat which was a spicy rice noodle dish with pork and was absolutely delicious! It was fairly spicy with a decent kick but not overwhelming. The missus ordered Chicken Pad Thai which again was rice noodles and chicken in a more mild sauce which was also fantastic. I also wanted to try the beef so we ordered the same jasmine fried rice dish as the previous day but with beef instead of chicken. Again the rice dish was lovely just as I had already experienced and the beef was super moist and tasty. Having tried the chicken and beef I would suggest the chicken works better in that specific dish. Another minor point as I had with the chips on the previous visit, the spring rolls were not the best. Like the chips they weren't terrible but not value for money. For £6 you get a portion of 4 spring rolls which in fairness taste nice enough but they're not the biggest and not particularly well filled. I'd say they were about 75% batter. TO SUMMARISE My overall experience from 2 back to back visits is some genuinely fantastic Thai cooking. Rice dishes and noodle dishes are equally brilliant and the beef, chicken and pork I've tried were all delicious and generously portioned. A couple of minor points for the chips and spring rolls which are not so great and also on the expensive side but the main dishes are piping hot, rammed with protein and absolutely full of fresh ingredients and flavour offering affordable quality takeout great value for money. Overall I'd give this a 9 out of 10 based on 2 visits and I can see this becoming my regular food spot in Newquay. I'm excited to get creative and try more dishes I've never thought of ordering. Absolutely brilliant place.
