Wheal Coates Tea Room in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We popped in here for a quick drink and a bite to eat. Plenty of tables inside and out so we sat in the sun. Service was surprisingly slow to say how much they had on but we weren't in a rush and relaxed and chatted. The Hot Pork bap was tasty as was the flatwhite kept us going till tea!

Lovely Cafe, excellent Customer Service and AMAZING Homemade Brownies! Beautiful location and really cosy inside. We will definitely be back!!

Pleasant tearoom on the road just above Wheal Coates area of the coast path. Serve cream teas as they should be and delicious cakes and good tea. Pleasant lady served us. We had our dog with us but we’re still able to sit inside although they do have outside seating as well.

Found this gem by accident, as very lost. Lovely place, staff and food. The building is a converted Chapel, also has outdoor seating. Dogs welcome. Very clean facilities

The cafe is in such a lovely area, perfect for when we finish our walk. We grabbed a few coffees and ice creams, and the coffee was great, the ice cream portions were amazing! The cafe was so welcoming and and staff were so friendly! Loved the open plan kitchen area:) Would definitely come back again when in the area

Visited St Agnes Head today and called at the tea room for coffee, tea and cake, lovely young lady who served us, believe she makes the cakes at the tearoom too and they were delicious, partner had cinnamon cake and I had Victoria sandwich, very nice welcome, and nice comfy settee, really enjoyed our chat and thank you for the lovely cake 😊

We always pass this place and we decided to finally give it a go. We absolutely loved it. The only thing I'd suggest is warming the place up throughout the day as we were pretty chilly. It won't put me off from coming back though and I expect this will be my new "go to cafe".

Friendly lady who served us, she was on her own and did a great job. Food was great and very well priced. Great little place, definitely recommend

Sadly not as great as expected ordered jkt potatoes and they tasted odd re heated in microwave and this changed the texture of them no beans to have with cheese topping, service was poor felt they were snobby not interested in providing a service over priced and overall very disappointing.

Popped in here on my Storm watching day for a cuppa and bacon bap. Very nice, decent flatwhite made well. Bacon bap all good in relaxing surroundings. During a warm day plenty of nice seating outside and also room to park if you arrive by car. If walking its not far from the coastal path either.

Came across this tea room whilst on a walk. Great coffee and delicious cakes. Friendly staff and clean facilities. What more can you ask for. Worth a visit if you’re in the area. We will be returning.

A return visit to Wheal Coates tea room, this time for a cream tea. The place is still excellent and the lady proprietress warm and welcoming. The facilities here are all spotless, and the range of food is commendably wide for a small establishment. Full marks, and congratulations.

Absolutely stunning location very close to the walk for St Agnes Beacon and Wheal Coates. The tearoom is bright and airy, with very friendly staff. There is indoor and outdoor seating and exceptionally clean facilities. We were here for our second visit having liked it so much the first time round. Our family of 3 had a latte, a pot of tea, and a hot chocolate which were all very nice indeed. Not the cheapest tea to buy; but worth it for the good vibes and view!

A hidden gem!! We had afternoon tea which was delicious. Staff were very nice and helpful, Lovely and quiet place, beautiful scenery. Can’t complain.

What a lovely surprise it was to discover Wheal Coates tea room while out walking this afternoon. The place is a gem. Why have I not discovered it before? I spotted the sign while coming down from St Agnes Beacon and crossing the lane to get to the coastal path. But if, as I usually do, you stick to the coastal path, and you don't know it's there, it's easily missed. There's another sign by the turning down to the car parks on St Agnes Head; this is badly faded, however, and easily overlooked. Why not put up a new sign and a bigger one? I say all this because the tea room is brilliant, quite simply one of the best I've been to in west Cornwall, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's even open in the winter months when so many of the cafes along the coastal path close till the next season. One of the good things about Wheal Coates is that it doesn't depend on the passing tourist trade. It's clearly somewhere that local people know about and like, and today there was a group of mums and their babies and toddlers on the middle table; and the youngsters were all a delight. It goes without saying from this that Wheal Coates is very child-friendly. As for the food, the range of choice is surprisingly wide for a small establishment, and there's something to suit everyone. The cakes are absolutely mouth-watering, and I've rarely drunk a better latte. Everywhere is spotless and there's a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which is set by the proprietor herself, who clearly enjoys her work and values every customer. If I could award Wheal Coates six stars, I would! Long may it flourish ! I'll be coming again with my wife, and I've sent an email with recommendation to our son and daughter.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at this cafe, which serves a good menu and lots of delicious cakes. The manager is charming and there is a choice of eating in or out. A perfect interlude on a cliff walk.

Popped in to shelter from the weather, and was pleasantly surprised to find a quaint little tea room in what felt like the middle of nowhere! Nice cream tea, nice quick bite to eat, friendly staff, all in all recommended if you're out on the Agnes Head or Agnes Beacon walks.

Had visited the nearby Chapel Porth and drove past on our way home. Stopped for coffee and scones; excellent coffee, scones were delicious and served with clotted cream and good quality jam. A decent range of paninis, sandwiches and jacket potatoes available. The cake selection looked epic but my waistline said no. Well worth a visit.

Adorable little team room with friendly service, tasty sandwiches/paninis, and exceptional scones making up the creme tea. Recommend.

We arrived at the tea rooms in the middle of a storm and soaked to the skin. The staff were very welcoming. The smell of baking was so inviting. Food was amazing. Even took a cake as a take away as I couldn't resist the lush home baked cakes.

Walked up the nearby beacon hill in the mist in the morning then on to St Agnes. We walked back in the sun and this was the perfect place for a welcome drink and snack before heading back up to the beacon for a clear sky panoramic view. Inside and outside seating with a great selection of drinks, cakes, snacks and ice creams. Dogs welcome. Well worth a visit! (and clean toilets)

Lovely little cafe with good food, drinks and ice creams. My only disappointment is that the buttercream used in the large cakes is made with margarine. Not great.

After a windswept walk along the coastal path at Wheal Coates this was a perfect place for coffee and a light lunch. And such a lovely lady serving! Should really keep it to myself!

We found this quite by chance after a very cold and blustery walk along the coast path. We were thrilled to find hot steaming mugs of tea, gorgeous cakes and really nice hot paninis. Even our dogs were welcome. It was spotlessly clean, and service...

Hidden away between the tourist destination of Chapel porth and the tiny village of st Agnes is a small jewel of a tearoom. It's not big, parking is a challenge, unless you walk from the near by wheal coates NT car park. But who cares....

Just wanted to to say how enjoyable each trip over last number of years have been for us. Great and tasty variety of sandwiches and cakes. Top quality coffee, warm and welcoming staff. Atmosphere unbelievable, particularly in Spring onwards. Congratulations on a great business.

Stopped at this lovely tea rooms for a coffee whilst exploring the wonderful Cornish coast. So good we stayed for lunch. Goats cheese and roast veg panini was amazing and the caramel shortbread so light and crisp. Started just before 'all this' they deserve to...

Stopped here for lunch after exploring the coast path. Lovely tea room with outdoor seating in a courtyard. The staff were very friendly and cheery . The tables were clean and the toilets immaculate. We each had sesame paninis and these were delicious.

A lovely tearoom perfectly located at the end (for us) of a walk up St Agnes Beacon. We had a cream tea and a piece of cinnamon and apple cake - the cake was stunning and the cream tea excellent also.

Amazing selection of cakes which were very yummy and possibly one of the best cream teas I have ever eaten! Everything was fresh and homemade! Overall 10/10.

Fast service from a pleasant team of staff. Panini were very tasty. The cream teas were excellent with fresh scones and liberal amount of delicious jam and local clotted cream. We all enjoyed this cafe meal. Nice to see a strong recycling policy in place

We visited at the end of a long walk and this rounded off the day perfectly. Lovely staff, delicious cake and all set out in a charming little courtyard. Very clean facilities too.

Lovely cafe with cakes etc a little salad would be nice with the baguettes etc though as the food was very basic Ice creams delicious

What a lovely place this is. The staff are really friendly serving delicious cream teas homemade cakes and today’s special a “hot pork bap”. It was very popular with a constant stream of customers. Very clean toilets too. Will definitely visit again.

We visited this establishment twice having first discovered it as we drove past. Staffed by two charming ladies, serving beautiful cakes, Panini’s, cream teas, local ice cream etc.
