Tideline Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Regular visitor to this lovely cafe. Sometimes latte, sometimes teacakes but this morning I had smashed avacado on kernow cob sour dough toast, two poached eggs, tomato relish. It was delicious. Linda makes lovely latte and is friendly, remembering the locals names. Lee the chef makes lovely food. The cafe has parking, free WiFi, and is dog friendly. Highly recommend

Lovely stylish decor,friendly staff, tasty fresh produce with lots of choice. Had breakfast of smashed avo and poached eggs on sourdough and a flat white. Service was quick and efficient. Our dogs were made welcome and there was enough room between tables for them to lie down.

We both ordered the full English breakfast and it was yum. Thick bacon, tasty sausage, fresh egg. Great coffee too. Really nice setting and great service.

Lovely friendly service and delicious food! I had the halloumi flatbread and it was very tasty indeed. Mum and Dad enjoyed their food too, we’ll be back. :)

Great cappachino and lovely latte made just how I like it. Free cake with hot drink. WiFi free. Lovely service. Very reasonable prices

Delicious food and friendly lady serving. Food was so good we went back the following day before driving home. The lady serving made us feel very welcome and even remembered what we had planned the day before and asked us about it. Would definitely go back

Lovely cafe, good selection of light bites and meals. Great prices, very friendly staff. It's worth a visit if you are in the area. A few minutes from the beech.

We were stopping in the area and popped in on a few occasions as it was so good! The owner was so welcoming and friendly on every occasion. Not only that, she was full of helpful local knowledge of recommending local places. There were lots of nice cakes on offer that differed from the norm. Having said that We would definitely recommend the cream tea, the home made jam was delicious and unique. We would also recommend the "Scottish" hot chocolate. Also very reasonably priced.

Excellent Bacon and egg breakfast sandwich, with delicious tomato relish. Very friendly staff. Good selection of meals.

First time at this Cafe. Five of us for Sunday lunch. When I asked for just the veg., (as I don't eat meat), I was offered a veggie alternatives. I choose the veggie sausage - the best veggie sausage I've ever had when eating out. My fellow diners were equally impressed with their beef and port lunches. Vegetables were served separately and were more than enough for us. Best gravy ever and not a problem when we asked if we could have more. The apple and date bread pudding was light and tasty. At £8.95 good value for money. The cake selection on the counter was very tempting. Will be going back to sample the menu further.

We went for a day out to Portreath and I had seen that this cafe has wonderful reviews so thought we ought to try it for lunch. We weren’t disappointed! We managed to sit at a table outside and the food was amazing. There was a good variety on the menu plus specials. The lady who served us was really friendly. We will definitely come back next time we have a trip out to Portreath.

A really enjoyable breakfast at this lovely cafe, very close to where we’re staying. Great food and friendly service, thank you! Portreath is a lovely town!

Perfect!!!! Friendly people, yummy food, cosy and comfortable, cannot ask for more xxx Breakfast was lovely, service was efficient, food lovely and fresh x

Friendly, cosy cafe which does lovely full English breakfast. All freshly cooked. Proper local sausages, fresh tomato (not tinned Italian plumb jobbie). Egg came out with soft yolk as requested. Staff pleasant and helpful. Dog friendly.Only a few hundred yards from beach but less frenetic and crowded than the establishments on the water front.Our new go to place.

They serve an amazing mocha!!! We went back a few times and it has always been consistently delicious, creamy and the right balance of coffee and chocolate.

A little gem of a cafe with amazing food. Very welcoming and friendly. Delicious homemade cakes and everything made with local produce. You even get a bite size piece of cake with your tea or coffee. Thoroughly recommend Tideline for great food and a very warm welcome.

The best sausage sandwich like ever. Great customer service and as my wife says the best clotted cream and scones. Well worth a visit A+++++

So friendly from the moment we appeared at the door.Pot of tea delivered (complete with cheeky little ginger cake on the saucers) whilst we struggled to pick breakfast from the amazing selection. There were little twists to all the usuals and all homemade - even the veggie sausages!Their soft bottom muffin all looked fab but the smashed avocado and poached eggs won me over and they didn’t disappoint…. Cooked perfectly, smashed just enough and accompanied by a fresh tomato salsa all sitting on fresh sourdough bread. AJ went with the traditional fry up, no grease in sight, and it didn’t last long. I stole some of the tide line beans to compare as I am a massive baked bean fan - just wow! A bit sad we aren’t around to try their lunch or dinner offerings but I’m sure they’re amazing too.Dog friendly … well just friendly all round and definitely worth a visit if you are in Portreath.Fantastic job guys!

Enjoyed a cream tea and shared some tiffin here at the end of a long coastal walk. Scones were warm and delicious (2 scones per cream tea as it should be ) and left just enough room for tiffin. Very friendly staff and nice clean cafe.

Went here for breakfast as recommended. What a disappointment. My partner and myself both ordered the smashed avocado with egg. When they came out we both looked at each other in total disappointment. Each of us had one very thin piece of bread with a scraping of avocado and one egg on it! For £7! We eat out a lot and this is without doubt the stingiest ‘avo on toast’ we have EVER had. Just looking at the website and the picture of this dish is NOTHING like we had. Needless to say won’t be going back.

Popped in for a cuppa when on our way to Hayle to start our holiday on Friday 18th September, on Thursday 24th September we was passing at around 3.50pm and popped in to see if they were still cooking as I noticed that they close at 4.30pm, they said they would do. Me my wife and my 16 year old son with autism went in and me and my wife had the special mushroom soup with cheese scone, then for mains we all had the special burger meal and for afters we took back the van some homemade cakes. The staff were very friendly and the meals were of good taste and of good value

Set just back from the beach on the road to the beach, with seating inside or outside. The service is great and everything is covered from a COVID safety point of view. It is visited by locals and visitors alike. The menu is extensive and inventive. The cakes are a speciality.

Just beautiful loverly service and the savoury cream tea was fabulous with home made scones home made chutney and home made savoury butter just beautiful. Did not really want to tell any one in case it gets full but I know you guys will keep it to themselves

We stumbled across this little gem whilst on holiday in this lovely little village. It was so good we came back almost every day! We always stopped here en route whilst dog walking, and our four legged friend was always welcomed (with a doggy biscuit too). The food was always excellent, and they always accommodated my daughter and her fussy eating habits! It is possibly one the most friendly and welcoming places we’ve ever visited. The owners here have nailed it, great food and great service, we shall return when next in Cornwall!

Great, high quality, breakfast choices, perfect poached eggs & a warm & friendly welcome. Highly recommend

Found this place while visiting Portreath, fantastic little gem of a cafe , great service , great food , this is how you do it , would not hesitate to recommend or visit again

Only popped in for a quick coffee! .....been back already ! Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Lovely little place , not eaten off the menu there yet but cakes are awesome with a great selection of alternatives for dietary requirements.One of the nicest oat milk coffees I’ve ever had. Proper mug too . Recommended stop off from a walk or cycle. ( I think we’ll behaved dogs are welcome ? ....)

Took a small breakfast and coffee here today and what a little gem. Ordered some hot sarnys and coffee. Food served very quickly and was delicious. Excellent service from friendly staff. Good coffee and dog friendly with a treat. Excellent menu and will def call again. Thanks.

Called in for coffee, hadn't planned to have lunch but the Sunday Roast sounded good so we gave it a try. It was delicious and the gravy was just the best. Will definitely be going to Tideline more often

Good dog friendly places to eat. Nice coffee in a good sized good. Fish and chips in cider batter good portion size small to moderate so great for a lunchtime snack

A lovely cafe great food the cream teas are the best we have had in a long time. We will going back to try one of there breakfast soon.

A warm welcome goes a million miles in making a very good start. Linda is the perfect host. Tucked away from the beach in Portreath (less than 5 minutes walk) it is easy to overlook this hidden gem. Just in the square near the bakers the Tideline Cafe is extremely welcoming the food is good and locally sourced where possible. Cornish gold cider and yarg cheese to name a couple of these local delights. The menu is varied and cooked with care and doesn’t all come with chips. From light bites to a fuller meal. You won’t be disappointed.

We were staying in Portreath for a few days and wanted somewhere to have a good breakfast to set us up for the day - we found it at Tideline. The owners are extremely friendly and make you feel most welcome, food is top notch using local produce, you can certainly tell it is homemade - the baked beans are gorgeous and the Sausage muffin superb. Great atmosphere as used by visitors and locals alike, well worth a visit and certainly better than making your own - we certainly be back as and when we return to Cornwall.

Breakfast was good, staff very friendly so overall a good place to go, Easy parking (out of season) and plenty of space inside.

Cannot rate this place highly enough ! Brilliant and friendly service, tasty food, great value for money and very accommodating for all types of dietary requirements. Worth a visit if you are ever near by.

Having been recommended Tideline by a friend I was not disappointed when we had lunch there the other week

We had three wonderful breakfasts in this very friendly and inviting cafe. Everything was very good with some very useful advice on locations to explore in the area.

We visited three times - two cheeky breakfasts and a roast - while spending a week in Portreath, and each time was a joy.

We were looking for a Tea stop quite late on a Sunday and even though it was near closing time were welcomed in. The selection of teas and coffees was extensive, excellent selction of cakes and biscuits too. We had the Cider cake which was "Scrummy". Throughly recommend a visit here. Will go back to try lunch menu which looks delicious too.

I ordered sandwiches to take to the beach. They were absolutely delicious and boxed up professionally with coleslaw and salad. This made it very easy to take back down to the beach.

We had a fabulous meal on Saturday evening- the fish night. Lee is a fantastic chef - the fish cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious- and Linda was the perfect host. We’ll be there for the curry night next month.

My two boys and I popped in for recovery breakfast after the long drive down and were very impressed by the quality of the food and also the very warm welcome. The brekkie really was superb and made with quality ingredients. The bacon was lovely and thick, the sausage really meaty, hogs pudding was just delicious and the homemade beans got a big thumbs up around our table - they were a really lovely touch. The rest of the menu looked so good, it really does shout out that the new owners are pouring their heart and soul in it. Lovely to see. We wish them all the best of luck with it although really, they don’t need it, this little cafe is sure to be a roaring success. Please do make the effort to pay them a visit if you in the area. You won’t regret it.

Cycling thru Portreath. Not a lot of choice at 9am. Delighted that we found the Tideline... it was open and had a great menu

We ate breakfast here each day, and a couple of lunches. Linda and Lee run a great establishment with excellent food, and a friendly atmosphere.

We've been coming here each summer visit for years and it's great to see that the new management have kept all that is great about Tideline while adding their own mark.

Looked for a place for a quick lunch and found this restaurant. Close to plenty of free parking the food was excellent, service brilliant.

Have been there twice since new management. Both meals lovely, especially ham with duck egg. Looks so much better and a better atmosphere.

Had a bacon and egg sandwich and coffee which was utterly scrummy. Nice and clean. They also have an alcohol license.

Since Linda and Lee have taken over, I have visited Tideline at least once a week! You can count on them to be welcoming and friendly from the moment you step through the door. The food is incredible and very well-priced (great value for money). They have new specials every time I visit - the chilli beef nachos are a favourite of mine!

Visited Tideline yesterday and had a lovely Sunday lunch. Meat was perfectly cooked and the Yorkshires were perfect! Served with a lovely glass of red wine. Very friendly and glad that we have this lovely new team at the Tideline. Will be back.

Visited The Tideline Cafe whilst staying in Portreath at the beginning of June 2019. We went here for breakfast on approximately 3 occasions. The owners haven't had the cafe open for long, so I have no idea what it was like prior to them taking over.

New owners have given the place a lift up in quality. Still very good value. Always happy to accommodate requests if they can. Have enjoyed everything I have ordered.

So lovely to have welcoming owners in Tideline and congratulations on getting through the first 4 weeks.

Just popped in for a scone and tea. The new owners bent over backwards to help and had a good chat. Fabulous scone and great atmosphere.

Whenever we camp nearby in Porthtowan we drive to Portreath to Tidelines for the Eggs Benedict (no longer on the menu) and for the kids...The milkshakes (no longer on the menu) and as a luxury holiday treat the waffles....no longer on the menu. If you have been before and are expecting Eggs Benedict, Milkshakes and Waffles I'm afraid you will be disappointed. That said the new lady serving was lovely, didn't see the chef. The old chef used to poke his head out and ask how the food was and have a chat if not busy. Sad that the menu has completely changed, we had a poached egg in a muffin (which was actually a bap / roll) with a sausage and caramalised onion. Wish the new owners well but won't be visiting again.

Such a nice welcoming atmosphere. The lady who owns it (didn’t get her name but had a Scottish accent) was so so lovely.

Ordered 2 large full English breakfast and a pot of tea for two. The girl who served us was very friendly and really nice. The man who made our food came out and asked us how it was, he was also really nice and friendly. Good value for money. All in all a very nice end to our weekend away. Thanks guys

We visited a couple of times for breakfast while staying in the area for a week, friendly staff and good breakfast well cooked. Would recommend intended to try the afternoon tea(scones) but unfortunately didn’t get round to it

I have a holiday home in nearby Porthtowan, and every time I'm there I have to have my fix of Tideline's Eggs Benedict. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, not the quickest food service, but just taste it, it's worth a little wait.

Placed on the South West Coast Path this cafe is perfect for a breakfast. We all enjoyed the food and the service. The cafe is also dog friendly. highly recommended...

Would like to say that this is the Best breakfast by far I’ve had in a long time. 100 % highly recommend this cafe

Stopped here for breakfast on Saturday morning. Was made to feel welcome even though the place was rammed.

Thought we would try this off the beaten path cafe after reading reviews. Was slightly disappointed as had very long wait (45 minutes for food) when cafe wasn't that busy.....

The best coffee I have tasted in Britain.

Called in at the end of the bike track from Elm Farm. Friendly welcome, nice cream tea, loos level access and clean. A very welcome stop!

Great food, clean and tidy, good value and lots of choice. What more could you want from a cafe - and doggy friendly!

Tuesday was the day we came here. The staff are friendly and the place is clean and has got good decor. However, the service is too slow. I mean it took a very long time for the waitress to cut our small piece of cake. Also, I've tasted better chocolate cake and so it wasn't worth the wait.

This place struggled to take our order down properly so we had to wait a while for the right food to turn up. The staff were very apologetic and the food was ok but there was was nothing to rave about.

Popped in for breakfast earlier in the week, everyone was very welcoming, even the locals who were in there were friendly, made us feel comfortable.

The Tideline is located in the small parade of shops next to the harbour and is actually quite easy to miss, as it does not really stand out much. Don't let that put you off, though, as it's a down to earth, friendly place and the coffee was great. It had a good atmosphere and was serving food, that looked and smelled great. I recommend and will definitely be going again, but this time will try the food too.

1 st morning walk came across Tideline cafe. Very friendly service, very clean. Lovely photos and paintings on the wall. Nicely cooked food, will be back every morning while on honeymoon here.

We had lunch and breakfast here several times and the food is freshly cooked and delicious! The staff are very nice and friendly!

Probado este lugar por casualidad cuando buscando un lugar para el desayuno. Muy impresionado con la calidad de la comida y el servicio amable. Nos hemos vuelto un par de veces, y la calidad y calidez han permanecido consistentes. También es perfecto para alguien con su perro, ya que acepta perros, lo que es cada vez más raro.

Been here for brekkie a few times. Great food and service. Service is quick and no long wait for food. Parking a bit hit and miss out front as shared with shop, bakery and hair dresser. Recomend Hogs pudding (extra choice) with breakfast.

Nothing not to like, friendly staff, excellent food, great cup of coffee and they let you bring your dog in!

Had lunch here in May 2014 and it was top class. Today was our second visit ever to Portreath and we called in for a big breakfast this time. Just the job. See you again some day. Clearly very popular with the locals.

Estábamos en la zona alrededor de la hora del almuerzo y tenía buscó cafés en Portreath así había visto este. Hacía demasiado frío para comer fuera, así que estamos buscando uno con asientos en el interior. Este café no parece mucho desde el exterior, estando en un edificio no es muy bonito pero por dentro la decoración es preciosa.

Nos paramos para té en un paseo. El servicio estaba bien, el té y el agua caliente de tamaño generoso, pero el y hornéela fue decepcionante. Tenía parcialmente seco y sabroso, aunque parte de la izquierda. Probablemente tuvimos mala suerte, así que les daré otra...

Sólo tenía la hamburguesa de Cerdo Desmenuzado especial, que venía con col y ensalada; fue excepcional y a un precio razonable para el tamaño de la porción. Todo el personal es muy agradable y amable, y siempre te saludan con una sonrisa. El ambiente era tranquilo y relajante, y el café también es genial! Un gran aplauso, doble, de la Tideline.

Had brunch here as a spur of the moment thing. Sat in the window. It was perfect. Very friendly staff. Thanks

Good food great prices , lovely coffee and real Homade cakes , not brought in . Very good for breakfast local produce all cooked to order . They occasionally do some evenings and Charity events . Closed on Thursdays . Do a good Sunday lunch .

Nicely run cafe with excellent quality food always fresh and served by friendly safe. I'd recommend the latte coffee as being one of best I've had in Cornwall. Good behaved dogs like mine have always been welcome in the lounge area and water available for dogs if you decide to sit outside, weather permitting. Now getting a good word for its Sunday lunches with I will have to try soon.

Popped in for a breakfast with our Grandson. Was greeted with a smile by the two people working there and engaged with our Grandson. Had a lovely breakfast at a very reasonable price. Was great to have service with a genuine smile and for people to like their customers. Well done Tideline.

Enjoyed a delightful meal on Sunday last.My brother was visiting from Walsall, and our party agreed unanimously,that the fare was really special.A friendly staff,a competent chef,excellent.The interior is nicely decorated.tables well presented spotless.well done to all who made lunch so special.The desserts were beautiful too.Easy parking and wheelchair friendly.Well behaved pets welcome.Just love this initiative.No hesitation in giving a helpful review.

Great bacon and sausage. Good idea for menu - the muffins work well, but if I was really starving and didn't want the 'full English' would probably have to go for two muffins.One waitress excellent, one indifferent.

This is the second time I've eaten at Tideline. This time we had a take away and we weren't disappointed infact it's the best roast we've had in the village. The veg was lovely and all fresh not frozen and the best of all were the roast potatoes absolutely delicious! I will definitely eating there again !

We'd walked to Portreath and thought we'd have a break in this cafe before the return trek. We ordered cream teas and were very impressed. The scones were the best I've tasted. Service was friendly and efficient. Lovely cafe.

Called in here while doing a coach cruise around the area. What a good choice. Excellent Scones & Tea. ( Coffee in my case ) good choice of different Scone flavours. staff very friendly & helpful. Eating area outside.

This is a great cafe! The decor is unique and the staff are pleasant. As it was a sunny day, we sat outside. I ordered the BLT. It was nicely presented and it tasted good. Eating at this restaurant is one of the highlights of my day at Portreath!

Its friendly and very welcoming It was a very good meal and very tasty the staff are very kind and helpfull

Lovely cafe, only found it on our last day after staying at some local lodges, well cooked and not greasy, also vegetarian option for one of us which was great, really good choice for breafast and lovely strong coffee, friendly staff and reasonable prices hope locals and visitors use this cafe as they did everything spot on

We recommend this café we had lunch there amazing cream tea the best I have tasty and I have tried a lot around the west country the selection of scones plain fruit or cheese spoilt for choice pannis where great and the hot food excellent value

I love that at tideline everything is cooked fresh for you and not pre cooked like most placesStayed at local apartment for 3 days and had breakie at tide line 3 days on the trot!!!!Beautiful breakie and welcoming place. Breakfast wasn't greasy and everything was cooked perfectly. The favourite bit of each day was getting up walking down to tideline and tucking into a full EnglishCan't wait till we return also love the chefs checkered trousers :-)

Really good breakfasts, very kid friendly with heaps of space for a buggy.Nice relaxed atmosphere.Good value.We'll be back.

Good honest tasty lunch with excellent service. I had a cheese, ham and tomato toasted panini, my wife a jacket potato and our daughter a ham sandwich

Passing through to photograph fishing boats and we needed lunch. This little restaurant was not easily visible from the road but we had a hunch one was there in the small parade of shops just off the main road so we had a closer look.Noy very promising we thought but how wrong we were! It was just what we needed with very friendly and obliging staff and a good selection from which to choose. I had a lovely jacket potato with coleslaw, baked beans, and salad and my husband had 'one of the best omelettes he had ever been served!

great fresh vegetarian breakfast last weekend with quick dog friendly service. clean unhurried. would have liked them to have more custom. i imagine it would be good to take kids-lots of space-tables not squeezed together.

Had a take away coffee and cake from here... Wasn't expecting much as it was empty however this was mid winter.... Lovely coffee and cake was beautiful too! (If a little dry) my partners was made the same day and he said it was the best coffee cake ever! Only issue is a little on the expensive side... But still worth a visit :)

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior of this place! Lovely owners and made to feel very welcome. Food was delicious and there was a great atmosphere. Definately worth a visit!

Small local cafe with friendly staff, various selection of good quality food. Perfect place to visit after a nice Sunday morning stroll along the beach with the dog.
