Zebra Crossings in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We were having a walk along the prom and needed some lunch, saw a sign directing us over the main road which took us to this lovely cafe. Unfortunately due to the C word it was take away only, we ordered 2 cream teas and in 2 secs we were back on the front on the nice new seating overlooking Mounts Bay. The scones were top class and in our take away boxes we had a knife and very generous pots of delicious strawberry jam and clotted cream. Well worth crossing the road for and everything looked delicious we were torn between the home made quiche and vegetable soup but as it was our last day chose the cream tea. If you’re in the area cross the road and support this lovely little shop, hopefully when we visit next year we can sit in but if not with views to die for who cares!

Loved this place. Great food.. Wholesome and fresh and great value for money. staff really friendly and helpful.. They even loaned me a book to read from the window 👌👌. Think I'm going to be a regular! 😋

Happened upon this place by chance, having seen a board out on the promenade. Huge selection of yummy ice cream flavours, served as a takeaway with a smile. Certainly put a smile on our faces on a hot day.

Their Cheese scones are amazing. Also Their home made dog biscuits. We have tried almost everything from here, breakfast rolls through to salad boxes and sandwiches. Everything is so fresh and homemade. I cannot rate them highly enough.

Stopped by for some sandwiches and drinks on a sunny afternoon. The lady who served us was a delight and so were the sandwiches! Will be back. Thank you.

Stopped in for a quick take away sandwich whilst perusing Penzance. Lovely selection of sandwiches, pastries and cakes. Nice friendly service and a reasonable price. Fussy husband declared his salmon, cucumber with lemon & dill mayo on fresh thick granary bread the best sandwich he had ever eaten. Have to say my thick cut ham, cheddar & chilli jam was delicious too. Thank you for ensuring my teenage sons nut allergy was catered for, his sandwich was scoffed super quick so can only assume he enjoyed it The dog ice cream also went down well, very happy pooch.

This wonderful cafe is local to me, and I feel so lucky! Currently offering takeaways, everything I have tasted has been sooooo good! I particularly love the cheese and poppyseed scones with butter.They have recently started offering sundaes and cones, made with Mr B's ice-cream, which I had never heard of before. Just. Delicious!The friendly staff make any visit so pleasant, and the owner, Nikki, is often on site and baking away, serving customers and generally being brilliant !Many thanks for this fab local cafe.

Had a fabulous impromptu lunch today at Zebra Crossings. A smoked salmon sandwich with cucumber and lemon & dill mayo on such soft, fresh granary bread. Eaten while sat on Battery Rocks gazing out towards St Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay. Very friendly staff and great service. Highly recommended!

Popped on for breakfast after a night at a local bnb. We got a good solid breakfast with quality bacon and sausages, all cooked just right. Very good service and lovely staff. The cakes look amazing too, well worth a visit.

This was a real find and very grateful we happened to be walking by. Good choice of hot drinks, cold drinks and light bites. Lovely staff who were just superb, go into the loo for the zebra experience.

We went there for a breakfast. Friendly service, nice table and room. The poached eggs were over-cooked, the fried egg was under-cooked, We specifically asked for butter, but it was margarine or similar.

My husband and myself enjoyed an excellent full English breakfast today the food was all freshly cooked delicious flavours with a choice of bread, with very friendly helpful staff, the cafe is so bright and spotlessly clean this is our second visit for breakfast and we will definitely be visiting again, we have also been for several lunches which a are also delicious. We will most certainly recommend The Zebra Crossing Cafe to family and friends.

Situated close to the Penzance seafront and the famous Morrab Gardens, this is a lovely relaxing place to stop for a lunch or refreshments. Excellent coffee, friendly owner/staff. Well recommended. Just turn off the seafront into Morrab Road,and it is there by the zebra crossing in the former newsagent's shop. Reasonable prices too!

We lunched in here when staying at the excellent Woodstock Guest House a few doors away.Sites opposite the zebra crossing at the bottom of Morrab Road, they decided to run with the theme and have produced a very individual little cafe. Lots of zebras! Good, tasty, fresh homemade food and reasonably priced. Pleasant service, couldn’t fault any of it. Would go again.

Lovely little cafe. Not pretentious. Relaxing place. Fine for a snack. Near Morrab Gardens- well worth finding

Friendly staff waited a good 15 seconds after we had sat down before asking if we were ready to order. No egg or bread options offered. Haphazardly served on cold plates. Sausages overcooked, presumably Saturday then re heated. Tomatos undercooked, the rest luke warm.Below average experience

Stumbled across Zebra Crossings while on holiday and glad we did! Great bacon sandwich, good service and v. reasonably priced, thanks!

The Zebra crossings cafe is compact but extremely clean and serving excellent food and coffee. Off main promenade by Moran Gardens and side of Queens Hotel.Thoroughly recomme.d and very personable staff.

Just popped in for a quick coffee, excellent coffee well served. Place is clean and comfortable, offers toilet facilities.

What a lovely place this is. You are made to feel most welcome when you walk in and nothing seems to be any trouble for the two lady's working there. Lots of home made buns and cakes and a very good menu for you to choose from. All place is very clean and tidy and is well worth a visit. A must if you are in the area.

Popped in for a quick snack whilst waiting to get into our hotel. Very cosy, good choice..coffee and walnut cake was lush. Reasonably priced.

We had a good breakfast of eggs, toast and scones with jam and clitted cream staff are lovely, food is very good, and the decor is really fun

Cute coffee/tea/cake shop also offering breakfasts and lunches. Vegan and gluten-free options available. Short walk back from the promenade but worth the detour. Clean/fresh décor.

Served delicious breakfast, great value for money. Excellent service, friendly welcome and staff were happy and very accommodating as out of the 4 full English one didn’t want egg so swapped for cheese.

Zebra crossings was one of our favorite lunch and coffee stops in Penzance. It's a small out of the way place with great home made pastries. Highly recommend.

Dog friendly place run by a lovely young lady. Very welcoming. Very delicious home cooked food. Thoroughly recommend.

a small cafe serving good food, lovely cakes not too expensive.Girls very nice.A little out of the way but well worth the visit

Nice coffee shop. All zebra themed. Cake was nice.service was good and the waitress friendly. A bit off the beaten track though and stumbled upon it on a walk.

Delighted to find this small but perfectly formed haven for coffee, cake and so much more today. Dog friendly even with Little Mr Picky aka Scamp (offered one biscuit, then cheekily took a different one!), fresh water for him too. Just had a coffee this time which was great, but we will return for more! Many thanks.....

Had lunch here last week as it was close to the guest house I was staying at and enjoyed it very much, the staff were wonderful and attentive, making sure everything was to my liking.

I been here twice now. Each time i have enjoyed the food. The atmosphere.. and ofcourse the lovely coffee that they make.... its ideal place to stop for a break when you walk across Penzance Prom.. Pets are welcome...have wifi.. and do takeaway too.. ideal if you want to take your coffee to the seas front... really love this little café. I will be visiting again soon thanks Sophie

Called into Zebra Crossing for a late lunch. Good service, food and beverages. BLT for me and prawn salad sandwich for my wife on lovely bread.

what a great addition to our walk on the prom. Popped in with grandchildren,so relaxed and welcoming. Delicious coffee (perfectly made to my liking). Delicious lunch followed by wonderful home made cake. Been back with my husband, will be ourregular haunt. great hospitality. Mary

What i ideal spot for a café!!! Congratulations you guys.. i have called in the café for a quick stop off before heading in Penzance town on a few occasions now.. what a great place... i found it relaxing.. and the service was top class for such a young person, starting out on her own. The menu was diverse, and the cake selection was to die for. Not to mention the coffee ☕☕ which was so good i stayed for 2. Will definitely revisit again on my way past. Also a fantastic added bonus.. i was allowed to take in my new 3 month old puppy. Absolutely love it keep up the good work.

I popped into Zebra Crossings recently, for the first time in a few months. It seems to have changed hands or, at least, changed. Gone are the wonderful breakfast pancakes and delectable quiches and tarts. It's all very down-market and completely ordinary now. Such a shame as this was a favourite local spot. I don't think I'll be back.(I only wanted a take-away coffee, but it took two staff members AGES to make it for me.)

Zebra Crossings is a beautiful little café with amazing coffee, and service with a smile. The staff are very friendly and helpful, not to mention the range of cakes they have! Everything is reasonably priced, with most things being considerably cheaper than the large majority of surrounding cafés. All in all, really nice place to stop and relax. I would definitely recommend it.

One of the best panini we have had in a long time. Coffee was good too. Friendly staff and our 3 month old puppy was welcome too

Situated a stone's throw away from the Promenade, this little tucked away joint is a charming community hub. The custom mainly includes seasoned folk and random hikers from abroad. Do note that space is cramped, so if you're not a fan of sitting close to strangers I wouldn't recommend this venue as your ideal oasis 'far from the madding crowd'. And since the staff and seating are limited, expect a bit of a wait - even if you just want to nip in for a takeaway espresso: service is slow, yet homely, which is to be expected in a local family business on the outskirts of town. I'm glad this place is not a chain - it exudes charm, as I said, but one must come prepared for cramped quirkiness (an advantageous quality when in the right mood). Zebra Crossings' foremost attractions are its fine and flavoursome cakes and quiches, whose prices lean toward the upper scale, strategically deterring the riffraff. All told, it's a pleasant find and the only decent coffee house for hundreds of metres.

Great transformation of an old newsagents shop into a splendid little cafe. Very smart decor and fit-out, and a very warm welcome awaits customers. Lovely fresh tea, coffee and cakes. Excellent fresh lunch menu. Good value for money. Overall a splendid place for a well-earned relaxing break whist in the vicinity.
