The Quirky Bird Cafe Pz in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We found this lovely dog friendly cafe on the high street. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. We ordered toasties which were delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Very attractive young boy in the back

Took my grandpa here for his 78th birthday! Lucas enjoyed his gluten free carrot cake and we were very happy with the niche atmosphere and lovely staff at the quirky bird! Amazing front of house service

Really great cafe in Penzance High Street with excellent food and very helpful and happy staff, which creates a great atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lots of great cafes in Penzance including The Front Room opposite but this isn't one of them. The food is very low quality.

Super lunch today. 100% perfect. Thank you we will be back. Super dog friendly 🐶

Visited here while staying in mousehole went for some lunch . My partner and i had toasties mine was a breakfast one really lovely my g/f had pork and apple again really gd . Saw a breakfast being served and got food envy 😋. So on the way to the lizard called in for breakfast it didnt disappoint gd quality food cooked to perfection . The quirky bird cafe is quirky the toilet is amazing . Great staff and fantastic food 👌. Give it a try

Nice cute cafe in Penzance near bus/train station. Lovely staff, cute designs & ornaments, tea & coffee are also nice. Had a ham and BLT sandwich and a takeaway sausage roll ~ it was delicious. Definitely a must try when in Penzance.

You want to go for breakfast somewhere excellent exciting and lovely then this is the place 10/10

We stopped here after our disappointment of not being able to get on the ferry to the Scilly Isles. The food was ok, basic but fine and the staff were great. It's facing the harbour and on the busy road. However, it was ok.

Nice little cafe. Very friendly service. Delicious tea time.

Have eaten here and had a few takeouts while on holiday in Penzance. Food was great, atmosphere good - I loved the Quirky Bird! Staff went above and beyond to help.

Good eggs at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere too. Saw one of the Big Bird breakfasts come out and it looked excellent. Would definitely recommend.

This place has absolutely amazing food, the staff are all very friendly :3

Such a cute shop with kind service. The quirky mess is very interesting! Highly recommend. Nice coffee too!

Good food, I had a gluten free all day breakfast which came out nice and hot. Nice coffee and I requested almond milk as I have a milk allergy. My dad had a tuna melt tostie. not over priced, lovely staff made a fuss of our dog who was a little over excited. Bowl of water filled up for dogs. The staff cooked our dog two sausages. It would be good if the café had a larger premises as it was a bit crowded. However clean and tidy. Very recommend this lovely cafe.

Good prices, fresh cream tea. Carrot cake was dry. The cappuccino had sugar on top. Wouldn't recommend cakes but the scone was fresh.

Nice café for a breakfast, I took the traditional english one.

If you're hungry for homemade snacks and have a dog, this café is the place for you. Penzance's most dog-friendly cafe. Very familiar atmosphere, hospitable owner, very nice service. Toasts, sandwiches, salads, cakes, everything is homemade. Just the right thing for a small midday hunger. My dog ​​liked it so much that he didn't want to leave. We recommend.

Good cappuccino. I ordered a milkshake. Very sweet. It wasn't like a milkshake, more like sweet milk and cream on top. Good service, friendly staff and delicious English breakfasts

If you're looking for a cozy cafe to start your day right, this spot in Penzance is a must-visit. The warm atmosphere, accentuated by the cafe's unique layout and table arrangements, makes it stand out from other cafes. Situated in a charming neighborhood, it offers a delightful setting for a relaxing breakfast. The prices are fair, and the quality of the food is outstanding. Plus, there's a convenient long-stay car park nearby. After your meal, be sure to take a stroll around the picturesque neighborhood to complete your morning experience. Highly recommended!

Good service and lovely breakfast.

Totally dog friendly and the eggy bread was absolutely lovely.

Only had Coffee - not good - milk was burnt.

Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Highly recommended

We visited Quirky Bird cafe twice during our recent holiday. A pleasant cafe with friendly staff. We are always made to feel welcome when visiting here and it is clearly popular with the locals, going by conversations heard in the cafe. Quick service and tasty breakfast options with a good mug of tea. Thank you.

Overall very nice cafe. Really polite and helpful staff, and good prices on food. Would definitely recommend stopping by.

Absolutely gorgeous, tasty freshly cooked breakfast. Couldn't fault it. Great price. Highly recommended Definitely will return

What a wonderful café! Food is delicious. Staff very friendly. Will come again!

Just looking for a nice looking cafe for coffee/tea. Quirky it is. nice it is too. We didn't have food but other customers did and food looked nice. I would say quirky bird much nicer than major coffee shop chains.

Hot chocolate was dripping all down the side of cup whole way round. Milkshake had no taste what so ever. Staff members ( young girl and male with man bun )come across rude and do not like the way they laugh and speak about customers as they’re leaving the shop. Wouldn’t recommend visiting here. Crisps served tasted stale and salad had some sort of sauce which was tangy on,

What a little gem. Had to visit the hospital in Penzance, and was looking for somewhere to eat that was dog friendly. Had a warm welcome. Seemed to be a lot of regular customers which spoke for itself. Food and service was very good, and well priced

service was great. the millionair slice ate! me after eating the millionair slice:

Outstanding service. Despite not having the macchiato on the menu after we asked, they used their expertise to cater to our request - and made a fantastic macchiato!

Very busy we had to wait 20 mins. The service was slow. Great food and they got one meal wrong, which they changed.

This is a lovely little café that serves good food and coffee and is very reasonably priced. We were only In Penzance for 2 days but having found this place we had lunch on both days. Lovely staff too!

Great food, lovely staff. Dog friendly.

Lovely little cafe on the high-street! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service, fresh food & good selection.

We came here for lunch. There is a large choice on the menu. The staff seemed to know a little of the customers by name so they must be regulars which is a good sign. The food was really good & prices were reasonable but unfortunately we made a mistake with the bacon sandwich. There were two versions of bacon sandwich, one regular and one kids. Our daughter wanted a bacon sandwich we obviously ordered off the kids menu. We didn't realise till after we'd ordered it that it was far cheaper off the regular menu. It did come with a side salad but she didn't want that anyway. That was a bit annoying but it was our fault.

Food spot on lovely little cafe staff very helpful 👌 will deffo be coming back here also dog friendly highly recommended

Coffee excellent, friendly atmosphere and staff. It was ashame the breakfast was a let down. I was shocked to get canned plum tomatoes, rather than fried fresh tomatoes with my breakfast.

Really wanted a toastie and this place was recommended- it was worth the walk ! Very friendly and welcomes dogs , toastie was brilliant , large array of what look like homemade tray bakes as well well worth the visit

Foods good take away service is miserably shocking -milkshakes in cheep paper cups not acceptable

A wonderful, dog friendly cafe to enjoy a cup of your favourite. Friendly and engaging staff. Well worth a visit, although I’m sure, like myself, it will become a habit!

I liked it. I came with a friend for a late lunch and relax. It's a pleasant and popular cafe. It's on the north side of Market Jew Street, it gets the sun throughout opening hours. There are two tables outside on the street, nice friendly service, a good menu, and modestly priced.

Cornish cream tea here was made perfect by the friendly and helpful staff. Coffee instead of tea was no bother. The scone was fresh and tasy and plenty of cream to go with it. A very relaxed atmosphere.

Decent enough. Good service. Chocolate milkshake a bit too sweet for my taste. Wasn't disappointed.

Having seen many positive reviews for this café I contacted the place to see if they accepted dogs, which they do, both inside and outside. Consequently I decided this would be a great little café to attend with my family during our holiday, and booked a table in advance. Upon arriving at the café, the appearance was much less than it was advertised as, and looked more like a greasy spoon café than an 'up market' one. We ordered a toastie, a cheese jacket potato and a big breakfast. We also ordered a San Pellegrino and two pots of tea. When the drinks arrived the San Pellegrino was provided in a can with a plastic cup to pour it in to. The two pots of tea arrived with two slightly dirty cups. When the food arrived the toast with the big breakfast was slightly burnt, and the jacket potato which was supposed to be cheese was served as a jacket with butter and beans. In fairness to the staff they did offer to make another jacket potato, but after waiting approximately 30 mins for food to be served, we decided to eat what was provided. Upon paying the bill, the staff apologised for the inconvenience of the jacket potato. The thing that I personally felt most inappropriate and rude was the comment provided by one of the servers to myself after they asked 'who's is the big breakfast?'. When I replied it was mine (I'm a larger lady), he chuckled and said "of course it is". I mentioned this when I went to pay, and pointed out the staff member who had said this, and the person on the till apologised to me. However, I couldn't help but feel it wasn't going to be dealt with. Consequently, I don't feel I am going to return to this café, but I do hope that this review will lead to them developing their practice as a café, and improving their service on the future

Visited today. A lovely little cafe in a perfect spot, with friendly staff and very tasty food. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place! The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was tasty and filling. And I loved the local artwork for sale. Ordered the quirky bird breakfast and was full for most of the day. Cakes were fab too! Check this place out - it's a hidden gem!

Excellent breakfast and a nice, friendly, social atmosphere. The service was prompt and the prices were reasonable.

Amazing service (the lady who works there with red hair was so lovely & accommodating to our family of 10 & 2 dogs!) Delicious smoothies, cream teas, & full English. Thank you so much!

One of our fave places, definitely recommend

We were looking gor somewhere to have breakfast in Penzance. We found this lovely quirky cafe. There breakfast menu was so different. I opted for Eggy Bread, Bacon, and Maple Syrup. It was delicious, and so filling, and mouthwatering. I would definitely recommend this cafe. The staff were so friendly, and polite. The cafe even had a cuckoo clock.

Very nice reasonably priced breakfast, very friendly staff

The food & drink at The Quirky Bird, Penzance is really tasty. I arrived in Penzance for a holiday on the 12th of June & stopped off at this little cafe for a coke & a sausage, cheese & local cider chutney. It was delicious & very satisfying. There is such a wide selection of toasties to choose from. Staff were really friendly, attentive & cooked the toastie to perfection. Went back to this cafe on the 14th of June & had a raspberry Quirky Shake (see photo) & a bacon, brie & cranberry sauce toastie. A unique cafe I'd definitely like to visit again. Thank you to all the staff at Quirky Bird!

Always found extremely welcoming, happy to assist in anyway possible, has now become my go too cafe, would definitely recommend to all.

Nice place for a quick bite. Friendly staff and good food

Good food, service and value. Can't praise them too highly.

A wide selection of GF options. Thank you to Lorna and the team for a delicious GF chocolate cake and GF coconut cake. We also had a jacket potato with salad to take away and it was delicious.

Lovely cheese ham and chutney sandwich

Dog friendly. Lovely food and coffee.

Quite expensive for a cafe and ita nit doubke doored so it can get draughty. Atmosphere is a little strained but not bad food

Nice spot with tasty cream tea and toast

Excellent food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

This is a lovely traditional style cafe. Super friendly efficient service, simple things done well with a warm welcome.

Great,friendly staff food very tasty lovely atmosphere

Exellent cafe great sandwiches shakes and other beverages

This place is a real gem. Not very far from the railway or bus station. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and the cakes looked delicious. The inside is a bit quirky with paintings and cards for sale and seems to be a favourite place with the local people. We went there 3 mornings in a row and we were not disappointed.

Brilliant little cafe. Staff very warm and welcoming. Service quick and efficient. Seating area compact but clean, tidy, and well presented. Small selection of gifts available. Food was delicious, very generous helpings, and low prices. Only regret is that I've not been in before!

Warmly welcoming atmosphere, cosy venue, clean, and charmingly decorated. Very friendly, polite, helpful, and accommodating staff. The food was well-presented, well-priced, and delicious. Clearly a bit of community hub, but very welcoming of tourists and any ages. Truly couldn't fault our experience of the Quirky Bird. Its only flaw was how popular it was, which speaks for itself!

Love this little tiny cafe never heard of it but to day me and my partner went and had lovely breakfast the staff is friendly and helpful definitely will come back soon

Small café selling sandwiches/toasties, delicious cakes and light bites. Friendly staff.

Lovely, clean & friendly cafe. We always make it our first stop when we visit Penzance. Great food, lovely drinks & a long, varied menu to suit all comers - vegetarians, gluten free - you name it, they'll provide it.

Lovely little Cafe, amazing staff and great food

Loved it here. Had a breakfast and was cooked just how I like it.

Had The Quirky Bird Breakfast for lunch. I hadn’t had any breakfast and added hash browns and hog pudding + a pot of tea. Choice of egg and toast type. My poached egg was brilliantly cooked and still runny, toast was thick fresh multigrain with plenty of butter servings. Breakfast was excellent! Great quality, made with care and nicely present. Staff are lovely. Lots of other nice looking things on menu. Venue’s nice too. I’ll be back (and bothered to post/review which is very telling). Thank you x

Breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend 😀

Fantastic hot chocolate, fantastic staff and dog friendly. Great experience

had the most amazing brekkie when sheltering from the rain! had so many veggie options with real attention to detail payed along side cheerful and lovely servers

Waitress was so lovely and food was really good! Partner had a full English with white pudding and I had eggy bread with sausage and black pudding, couldn’t fault it! Would 100% recommend

Clotted cream, jam, delicious freshly baked scones and a pot of tea, in a quirky local cafe. The scones were still hot! Wonderful!

Let down by the kitchen facilities in our holiday let we needed to find a great breakfast to start off our week. Quirky bird did not disappoint, the salted caramel milkshake saved the day for one family member. Great food, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Lovely place, but the tables at the front are at an odd height to sit and eat comfortably.

A good-sized, nicely - and freshly - cooked full English breakfast at a reasonable price. Good service, too.

Absolutely incredible cafe, very reasonably priced too. Good for coffee and cake, or a brekkie with friends. 100% recommend! Xx

A good sized all day breakfast, and veggie option with meat style sausages and two eggs. All freshly cooked. Everything was piping hot.

My partner and I visited for the first time yesterday. We ordered 2 x rounds of poached egg on toast, 1 x tea and 1 x juice to start. Beautiful eggs that just run when you cut into them. Followed by a slice of carrot cake and lemon drizzle cake, a cappuccino and a caramel latte. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. The service was brilliant and friendly. The decor was so lovely, comfortable and clean. The walls were also adorned with pictures and items to sell. We loved listening to the interaction with regulars who came in and they knew their orders. This will be our regular haunt when we are in Penzance. Well done on creating a lovely space to come and eat. Thank you x

Clean and great value for the money

I cant thank them enough for their amazing food+coffees. Wonderful staff amazing chef. Homely and very welcoming. Very clean cafe. Highly recommended 5* review all the way.

Dog friendly cafe and lovely cream tea with huge scones .Served very quickly by helpful staff .Prices super reasonable . Thank you .

So accommodating to me and my dog twice in one day. Had to wait in Penzance and the weather was horrific. We had breakfast, a couple of drinks, some treats for the dog. Not pushed to leave at any point, nothing was too much trouble....

When I paid £7.25 for a full English i wasn’t expecting the most amazing breakfast in the world, but i wasn’t expecting burnt and food straight from a tin. Mushrooms and tomatoes were both clearly tin to plate food. Would not recommend. On the plus side, coffee was great and service was also very good.

Nice little cafe on the main street. Great portions and price. Highly recommend.

Great little cafe, lovely staff good food

Really lovely place. Nice people with good food. Veggie breakfast was excellent. They'll swap items for others if you don't want them. Good quality and value.

Lovely place, great sized breakfast. Good value, good food

We had a nice time there. The waitress was very kind and actually made a homemade iced tea for us (even though it isn't on the menu). You really don't get that kind of service (with a sweet smile) in big chains.

Staff were super friendly and we were very grateful for the scrambled eggs and treats for the dog. Food was pretty good, shame it was so hot when we went.

Stumbled across this place after a quick visit to Penzance. Everything about this place is delightful. Food, staff, ambience lovely. Would not hesitate to use again if in area.
