It's a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy a coffee watching the waves roll in. Food is very expensive with a bagel costing £8.50! They also sell alcohol. The staff couldn't be nicer and its dog friendly. As well as the veranda there's an upstairs seating area open to the elements with fantastic views.
Enjoyed a nice coffee each at this cafe. We sat outside to enjoy the views across the beach out to sea. Very enjoyable.
Best location on Perranporth Beach. A cute little café right by the sea. Probably one of the best carrot and orange cakes I’ve ever had. Their signature Taz hot chocolate isn’t bad either! A lovely little spot.
Beautiful place. Brilliant staff. Gorgeous coffee. And stunning sea views! What's not to love?!
Lovely spot overlooking the beach, and dog friendly. Lots of choice of drinks and cakes including gluten friendly and vegan options. Staff were so friendly and helpful - thank you Beth and Anya!
Absolutely amazing, just wonderful being able to sit somewhere overlooking the sea, with an excellent coffee and catch up with friends. Didn't have any food this time but will be back. The staff and service was excellent. Will be going back and would highly recommend.
Always a friendly atmosphere, great coffee and cake. Sit here, chat and enjoy great views of the sea.
This bar has a great view of the beach and ocean, we had some very well made cocktails at £11, friendly staff and good tunes in the background. This was our favorite beach bar.
