Fabulous, friendly and authentic Italian cafe. The Tartufo Affogato alone would be worth the drive down to St. Ives!!! Definitely give it a go, you won’t regret it.

Paid a quick visit to pick up a coffee. Walked past ma y times and have never stopped by. Americano was excellent and nice to have the choice of a double shot in a smaller cup. Friendly and polite service. Will go back again 👍🏻

This may be a small cafe in St Ives but the coffee is the best we’ve tasted so far on our Cornwall holiday. The pastries were lovely as well.

We picked up a takeaway tea and a coffee ( Illy always good) then sat on the sea facing benches drinking our excellent drinks. The server was very pleasant and chatty without being overpowering. There is limited seating in the cafe but on a sunny day that didn’t affect us.

This is a wonderful place to enjoy some lovingly prepared coffee, a nice Aperol or - if you're really lucky - some of the best snacks Italy has to offer. We love this little coffee shop near the pier, a bit hidden from all the noise and trouble, and we always consider ourselves lucky to find a table, as seating is limited. If you just come for drinks, you can always take your coffee or hot chocolate with you, take a few steps and enjoy them while overlooking the stunning sea by the pier.

Excellent Coffee, made with Love Care & Passion, Many Locals using this coffee shop especially over the September Festival, It is not cheap. but quality shouts, It is the opening hours that really frustrate me, I walked past several places to go to the pier coffee bar, to find on a beautiful Friday , sorry closed have a great weekend see you Monday, I am not here Monday. I understand small business owner operated, but please train and employ somebody, so you can hand over the reigns, or the only other thing is that the owner closes on purpose to trade below the VAT threshold. Such a shame, But I will return next September for my proper coffee fix. Hope you are open. PS I have heard amazing things about the hot chocolate here !

Been tricky to find somewhere in the town that serves the best latte as they have either been too weak or too gritty, however this coffee bar ticks the box of best coffee yet in St. Ives.Friendly staff, reasonably priced and time taken to prepare the coffee all contributed to giving this 5/5.

What a little gem. Perfectly sited almost next to the St. Ives museum and only a stones throw from the more busy harbour area. A spotlessly clean an well appointed cafe serving Illy coffee, a first for me and really smooth. Amazing cakes on sale too. I had a kind of crispy croissant filled with hazelnut chocolate. Fantastic. There are some beautiful pictures and card prints for sale too. Priced much more competitively than the usual high priced coffee outlets. Highly recommended.

A little gem this is, situated at the far end of St Ives town beach. Well worth a visit. Not a big place and the food is all freshly prepared and it is so clean in there. As we are very much cafe people, my partner and I clock up the cleanliness of various establishments. Those who wipe tables, those who don't etc .... This lovely Italian couple from Milan do everything right. They obviously love it here and it shows. This may seem an obvious thing to say, but I noticed the young woman take off her apron when visiting the toilet and trust me, I've seen the opposite in other places! The coffee is excellent as you'd expect from an Italian couple and hot, something else that is not always the case in other places. Normally we just have a coffee and one of their delicious biscuits, but the food I have had there is faultless. Very very good. We're local so don't tend to come here in the summer as St Ives way too busy.

We popped in to the Pier the other day, so that my husband could have a coffee. However, we also chose a slice of the Lemon & Almond Tart and a slice of their homemade Chocolate Tart. We sliced both in half so that we could both enjoy them. Both were sublime, and we’d have the same again any day. However, my husband said it was the BEST Chocolate Tart he has ever had out. Praise indeed!!!
