Truly Scrumptious in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely ice cream, shame about the rude, miserable staff! Would not return and would not recommend!

Lovely ice cream. Strange vibe, rude lady.

Delicious vegan raspberry ripple ice cream. Will definitely be back!

... but my wife & I were craving a cooling after-lunch treat on a warm June day. So we each ordered a single scoop of Cornish farm-made Roskilly's ice cream in small sugar cones, Salt Caramel for my wife and White Chocolate & Raspberry for me. They each had good flavour, though I'd rate the creaminess as average for premium ice cream. But considering the prompt & friendly counter service and the attractiveness of the small store, our visit to Truly Scrumptious earned a 4 Circle rating and two thumbs up recommending a refreshment stop for other visitors to East Looe.

We have visited twice already during our holiday: once for ice creams when it was warm and for hot coffee and great cakes when it was wild and windy! The friendly service was excellent both times. The ice cream was very delicious with interesting flavours and the scoops a generous size. (No bright colours either!) Can’t wait to go back to try the gooseberry and the orange mascarpone.

The staff here are so unfriendly and lack basic customer service skills. They are very good at upsetting children and we didn’t even step foot in the place. Says it all.

Visited today whilst waiting outside mountain warehouse. The cake caught my eye. Ordered a takeaway coffee as it was such a windy day. Lovely friendly staff, decent prices, no minimum card charge. Beautiful cherry Bakewell tray bake! Wish we were staying closer as I would be back for more!

Popped in and bought some Cornishware, a spontaneous purchase! Owners were very knowledgeable and friendly. Will pop back to top up with more china soon. They welcomed both of our dogs without hesitation, Fabulous coffee too!

We found this place by chance as we fancied cake and the cake shop we had been to before didn’t have any nice looking cakes. Truly Scrumptious has their cakes displayed in the window so we were swayed to go in. We weren’t disappointed, the cake was delicious, very reasonably priced so much so that we had caramel shortbread too, which was truly yummy. Plus we’ve been back today for more cake which yet again was delicious 😋

Looked on website and saw it was closed so was pleasantly surprised to find it open when we went into Looe on one of our first days of our annual holiday.They are only doing takeaway but that was fine as we could still enjoy a cream tea and some delicious toffee cheesecake and a brownie. Do pop in and support this cafe in what must have been and still is a very difficult time.

The place looked cosy and the cakes in the window looked inviting. Lovely little venue and the hostess was welcoming. Ordered a savory and a cream tea. Savory scone was lively and warm. Both were tasty and the place was as cosy as it looked through the window.

Quite new to the town and very welcome. Always busy = sometimes annoying to us locals!! Dog is welcome.

Absolutely lovely 😁 relaxing atmosphere, reasonable prices 👍 will definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lush cakes, very nice atmosphere & seating area. Excellent value for money & friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Lovely cosy place, really good value and delicious cake and scones. We kept looking at the amazing cakes in the window before we went in!

The staff are terrible. We went in and sat next to the door which wad open. Today is showerly and people wering fleece. I closed the door. The ownr came right awsy and closed. I opened again complained it it too cold. The safe said it is too hot for us! What a place! I thought customer is always right. I have 3 layers on me and a rain coat, which I cannot take off in the shop. Coffee is not the best. Cake is served very thin although taste OK. Disappointing no lemon where sells Earl Gray.

This is a great place to stop for snack, the place is very clean, modern and the staff are very friendly. Food and prices are excellent and it was nice to be able to have a savoury cream tea. Good selection of cakes . Highly recommended.

Modern interior and very clean with good toilets. Excellent savoury cream tea which I haven’t seen anywhere else before and the ham and cheese panini was also great. Lots of homemade cakes that are good value for money. Friendly staff and hope to come back here next time we’re in Looe.

Excellent cake. Poor customer service, grumpy staff.

Not very friendly people but cakes and tea were nice so we decided to visit again on Friday...Friday was a very very wet day and the cafe was shut!!Why?It's Peak Season!Unless there was a good reaon to be closed(in which case a sign should be on the door)this smacks of 'can't be bothered because of the weather' another local cafe said they do their best business on a cold wet day so no idea why the cafe was shut.Also 5pm is a bit of an exaggeration of closing time,they are usually clearing up just after 4pm.

After eating the most delicious Cornish pastie we decided to look for Cream teas while in Looe, we stumbled upon this place and from the outside it looked cosy. what a mistake never have I been treated in such a way with my family, the lady was rude, abrupt and very unhelpful. Left me explaining to my young children that some people are not nice and that’s the way it is, good luck!

If I could rate this zero stars, I would. Quite possibly the worst service I have ever encountered. Totally overpriced for what is eventually served (despite looking amazing from the outside!!). Very unhelpful. Avoid.

Not made to feel welcome, unable to take dogs no matter how small (v small) and clean upstairs after waiting for a table, did not want to flexible on seating downstairs

Came here as my wife was drawn by the savoury tea as she doesn’t like cream tea. It was full when we arrived and the man working there told us grumpily they were full. We waited and a table came available, the young waitress was very nice and we ordered a savoury tea (cheese scone, cheese and tea) and a cream tea. Both were very nice and just the right size but I did feel the scones lacked a homemade feel.

Good location. Quiet, calm atmosphere. Good variety of lunchtime sandwiches, panini, teas and coffees.

Love this place well worth a visit

Nice place to go for a coffee and friendly staff would well recommend

Great wee cafe lovely food and coffee..very clean ..welcoming owners..will be back...

Great selection of Cornish goodies

Visited for lunch today. The place is clean and smart. We were greeted well and the service overall was excellent. Our tuna sandwiches were very tasty, and our peanut and chocolate slice roulade were superb! If you're looking for lunch in Looe, look no further!

A big pot of tea with great scones, jam and cream. Just right on a glorious summers day in Cornwall. Enthusiastic and courteous staff. No complaints from me.

Ok, the cakes here aren’t homemade (which would be a distinct bonus), but they do look fabulous sat in the window and do draw you in.

Lovely food happy people good service

Best cakes ever, we travel to Looe just for this cake shop, never disappointed.

Lovely. Very welcoming friendly staff

Fantastic looking cake in window was expensive and awful. Very disappointing.

A very clean little cafe that was tucked away in the town centre. It was very busy but there was more tables upstairs with a view of the street below. The cakes and drinks we chose were delicious. We will definitely recommend and will certainly be going in again before we go back.

Lovely afternoon tea scrumptious!! after a day spent on the beach by myself.. one of my best days ever. Hot and sinny

Great little shop, they sell a great selection of retro and rude sweets. The also have a great range of fudged to choose from.

By far our favourite café in Cornwall. The cakes are always fresh and delicious, as are the sandwiches. Our favourite is the beef and horseradish on granery bread. Which can also be pruchsed to take out! My tip, check the seating upstairs. It's usually less busy and the couches are really comfy!

Didn't feel very welcoming, quite expensive I thought. Coffee was ok

Popped in for a cup of coffee and some granary toast with butter. Truly Scrumptious was spotlessly clean, the staff polite and friendly. There is a nice ambience with music playing in the background but not too loud to be intrusive. The coffee was good and the granary toast tasty. There was a selection of cakes on offer and they looked "truly scrumptious". Would not hesitate to recommend, well worth a visit!

Really nice cakes and a good selection of hot drinks

This is a lovely looking cafe but we were surprised to be told our dog wasn't welcome. December with only one other table in, I couldn't understand the logic to send business away.

Friendly service and good chocolate beverages. We were provided with a special table as only a certain section is reserved for people with dogs. The Wifi was good enough to do some emailing and browsing.

Proper cornish afternoon tea, Lovely scones, loads of jam and beautiful cornish clottage cream. The best cornish tea Ive ever had.

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by.they serve a lovely cup of tea, and wonderful coffee. The interior is very nice and relaxing. The couple who own and run this place are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this place to everyone visiting looe.

My partner and myself have visited this tea shop for the past two years. It’s a very clean , traditional and respectable business.

Nice to stop and have a coffee here, can be a bit hot in the summer need air-conditioning put in.

Just visited the lovely Cornish town of Looe. A lovely picturesque coastal town split through the middle by the river flowing through it. My wife and I called in to 'Truly Scrumptious' for a coffee and a Hot Chocolate drink, but what really tempted us in was the "Bailey's Cheesecake's" in the window... The lovely couple behind the counter appeared to be the owners. They were lovely and polite... They made a great coffee and chocolate drink, and, the homemade cheesecake was absolutely amazing. Thank you for making it a pleasant experience for two northerners. Amazing food, great coffee, and chocolate. Lovely people. xxxxx

Our first visit. Won't be our last. A really nice little place in the centre of town (East Looe). Tea, coffee and a yoghurt covered flapjack. Delicious!

Beautiful cafe and shop with lovely food and giftware. Would highly recommend.

Second time I’ve been here and never disappointed. Lovely cream tea and cakes, highly recommend if wanting bite to eat in the centre of looe

Perfect cream tea with a large freshly made scone - had a choice of plain or fruit - I had fruit. Generous portions of clotted cream and jam. Cozy area downstairs plus room upstairs. Great service.

A tastefully decorated cafe. Friendly staff. Sandwiches freshly prepared and a wide selection of tea and coffee and other drinks. Happy with my cheese and tomato toast sandwiches and lovely chai tea. I didn't try the cakes but looking in the window they looked stunning. Next time I will definitely try the cake!!

Tiny little place downstairs but more seating as a coffee lounge upstairs. Lovely sandwiches very fresh. The cakes are sinfully good !!!

Fantastic coffee and wonderful service

We visited TS twice during our week in Looe, the owners were very friendly, food, price and service all excellent. My daughter particularity liked the very berry smoothie and the owner told her how to make it, which was very kind

Beautiful café decorated in a modern but rustic effect and served the most wonderful coffee and cakes. Service was faultless and very welcoming and friendly unlike various other places we visited in Looe. Would highly recommend.

Popped in here on a Friday afternoon for a cup of tea. Food and cakes looked and smelt amazing and a nice variety of teas. Lovely and clean and friendly staff.

Lovely little cafella. Very clean and welcoming. Had roast beef and horseradish sandwiches made withis delicious soft granary bread, doorstop size! Had fruit smof this which were out of this world. Great Vale. Highly recommended.

We hadden hier thee en koffie. Het was prima maar niet geweldig. Grote koppen cappuccino en goede thee. De Victoria sponge cake was lekker evenals de scones met double Cream en jam. De cheesecake was echt niet lekker.

Popped in on a rainy day in Looe for some lunch. We placed our order and thought it was very cramped sat in the small café. Little did we know there is also an upstairs!

Best Victoria Sponge I've had in ages! Fluffy and light. Lovely service, great coffee.

Popped in for a late lunch. Friendly staff. It’s not a big place at first sight but does have an upstairs area with nice squashy chairs. Good and reasonably priced food. Also nice coffee. Worth a visit.

Very friendly staff & great service. The Cornish cream tea was excellent

Lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes. Soft sofas upstairs, to relax with a coffee. Enjoyed a Brie and cranberry sandwich with nice fresh bread. Can't beat it.

Called in for a quick snack with friends around lunch time small tables but as only 4 of us it was ok.Wanted a sandwich and coffee also one of use ordered a cake for afterwards. Sounds simple but unfortunately 1 of the sandwiches arrived wrong but we felt obliged to have it? fortunately it was ok as it was something that was liked, but how can you mix up ham with cheese? It got better as they forgot the cake until 1 of us also wanted a cake and and as we had paid up front he had to pay as it was ordered and asked for the first cake as well ? Both were delicious but tried to charge us again for the first cake when leaving! Just a bad day hopefully.

A fabulous cream tea served by friendly staff. Only downside no outside seating.

Cream tea was absolutely wonderful. Choice of fruit or plain scone (both of which were delicious), strawberry jam and clotted cream and a lot of tea (or coffee). All for £4.25 per person. Really lovely !

A great place for a coffee. The cakes look delicious, too.

Cosy with friendly staff, great selection of cakes, reasonable price

This is a small tea shop in the centre of Looe. We had the Cornish tea - truly massive scones with jam and clotted cream - served in china pots. Other cakes included the largest Victoria sponge I have ever seen! If you are strolling through the town do stop here for a sweet treat.

Lovely fresh food. I hand a ham and cheese sandwich. Lovely fresh bread. Good quality ingredients used. That also have the most delicious cakes. The coffee is lovely nice and smooth not bitter. Highly recommend a visit ...

Stopped in coffee and cake, the coffee was nice, the cakes were lovely and a very decent size. Not the biggest cafe but makes up for it in quality

First visit to Truly Scrumptious East Looe well what can I say? Was made to feel very welcome the moment I stepped in the cafe. Staff are warm and welcoming, cafe is spotlessly clean cakes and food look delicious. Personally I choose the cream tea with fruit scones can honestly say was a pure delight to eat this cafe lives up to its name it was truly scrumptious. Only £4.95 was well worth it. I can highly recommend this cafe and it is dog friendly

Fantastic! Great cakes and coffee!!!

Wir haben dieses hübsche Café mit 6 Personen besuchen wollen. Die untere Etagebot nur noch einen Tisch für 4 während es oben genügend freie Stühle gab. Die äußerst unfreundliche weibliche Bedienung untersagte uns ohne Begründung oben zu sitzen. Sie bot auch nicht an, 2 weitere Stühle an unseren Tisch zu stellen. Wir verteilten uns also zu sechst auf vier Stühle. Als sich ein (englisches) Mitglied unserer kleinen Gesellschaft beschwerte, wurde er vom Besitzer darüber belehrt, dass die obere Etage reserviert war und anschließend des Cafés verwiesen. Der Rest der Gruppe hatte bereits bestellt, könnte aber den durchaus leckeren Kuchen nicht mehr genießen. Schade: Café, Tee und Kuchen ausgezeichnet, Service absolut mangelhaft.

The name says it all cakes are delicious very moreish Michelle and John are great.

With a good 40 mins to spare before the car park ticket ran out, we were tempted in by the cakes in the window. It looked a little clinical downstairs (not difficult to make it look welcoming) and it wasn't obvious there was seating upstairs. We ordered and paid then sat and waited, and waited and waited. It didn't look busy, but we waited 20 mins to be brought someone else's order. Then we waited again and eventually our cakes arrived. then we were brought the wrong coffee so had to wait again for that to be corrected. The staff were unfriendly as though it was our fault. The cakes were huge; too big for the UK's expanding waistline and tasted far too sweet and sickly. I think they were bought in and really were too much of a not very good thing. I couldn't eat mine because it was so cloying, sweet and sickly. We ended up not being able to relax because of the excessive waiting time and the car park ticket expiring but at least the coffee was okay when they eventually got it right.

Really nice and friendly people and truly lovely coffee. Cakes well worth a try.. The Ploughmans well just enough in size and tasted great

I had the Victoria sponge cake, they wasn't tight with their portions! It was amazing!, my other half had the red velvet cheesecake! I wish I would have got that one too it was that nice! Definitely a worth popping in here, you won't be disappointed

Lovely little cafe, didn't have to wait long for a table. Great position on the Main Street in looe, lovely homemade cakes and not expensive!

Excellent coffee and gorgeous cakes. Great service and great value for money. Seating downstairs is a little cramped though.

Excellent coffee and very nice cake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return.

Truly delectable choice of gateau although didn't have any they all looked delicious. Lovely, fresh & tasty scone with cream...

We popped in for a quick hot drink and snack. All 5 of us were happy with our choices. Quick...

Drawn in by amazing cakes on display chose to not have a cream tea as the cakes looked too tempting....

the staff could not have been better, really friendly. we enjoyed afternoon tea with a wide range of magnificent cakes...

Lovely fresh scones with cream tea. Although we didn't have any the gateaux looked amazing. My only gripe was that I was charged an extra 75p for hot water as I like my tea quite weak.

Friendly staff cakes to die for

Lovely stop off to get out of the rain. Had very tasty scones and cream. My son had a creamy hot chocolate. Staff were very friendly. It was very clean and inviting.

We were drawn in by the promise of a cream tea, but although the scones were nice, the staff were not very friendly and the hot chocolate was on the watery side. Cakes looked huge, but didn't stick around to find out.

Yummy cakes & great coffee! Love this place, such a relaxed vibe. Would highly reccomend to anyone!!

Popped in for a cream tea and we weren't disappointed. Excellent scones with a lovely pot of jam and cream. Cosy upstairs with settees to sit in and watch the world go by. Good value for money and excellent friendly, efficient service.

Dropped in for a sandwich, coffee and amazing cakes. One of our sons bizarrely wanted ice cream over the scrumptious cakes and although they don't do ice cream managed to provide a bowl topped with sprinkles and marsh mellows. A great cafe with amazing cakes

My Daughter and I visited Truly Scrumtious today The cakes in the window looked delighful What a let down My Daughter had the Red Velvet cheesecakw and I had the the Toffee Cake Bith swere FAR too sweet and were very plasticy. Noy cake taste only sweetnessI think they were bought in and not made by the establishment like I thoght they would be. Itb 5 hrs since i had the cake and I can still taste the overpowereing sweetness.Never again I wish I had had an apple strudel at the other shop up the roadVery dissapointed customer

Stopped here for some teas, a cream tea and a couple of smoothies.Nice modern decor on inside. Service felt not overly friendly. When I asked for smoothie flavours there was a point to a sign. When my wife asked what was in each smoothie the assistant read out the ingredients almost begrudgingly - I don't think she quite got that the sign is too far back for anyone to read!!!Tea was nice. Good scone. Smoothies were quite nice, used a Projuice system where they buy in dosed quantities of ingredients. Cafe on the small side. Not sure if there was an upstairs? So decent refreshments. But a modern till screen and modern fans don't substitute for me vs good old fashioned service.

Excellent selection of foods beer ciders and wine only treated myself to some chilli Cornish sauce

On a rather drab day walking round Looe on a Sunday we found many of the cafes closed but were delighted to find Truly Scrumptious open and popped in for a coffee. We were however also tempted by the lovely cake display so ordered two Cappucino's and 2 slices of Carrot Cake. Nice hot coffee and the Carrot cake was absolutely delicious really moist and you could see the bits of carrot in it. it made for a lovely little stop whilst we dodged the rain clouds. Will definitely visit again.
