Harbourside Cafe in Cornwall

Odd little place. We had to pay when ordering, even though everyone else didn't. I don't know if that was because we're Americans, or if they are unfriendly to foreigners in general. Plus we had to wait until a large group was completely served of their food before they took our drink orders. To say the servers were rude would be an understatement. The food was so so.

Lovely cafe. Reasonably priced. Lovely views. Lovely staff.

Excellent Breakfast, quality ingredients freshly cooked, and cooked very well too

Avoid at all costs 6 persons wanting drinks wouldn’t serve us as they wanted “customers paying for more than 6 drinks” Unbelievable

Visited this cafe for breakfast before our boat trip. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and drinks. We had an extra large breakfast, a small breakfast and a cheese on toast. The food was very fresh and piping hot. I'd definitely recommend sitting indoors as the seagulls there are fearless, and unfortunately if one lands on your plate or takes your food they cannot replace it. There are signs warning you about them, so sit outside at your own peril! Would definitely go to this cafe again if I was visiting Penzance. My only minor grumble was that the mushrooms were deep fried. It ruins the taste and texture of them, but that's my own opinion. Would have much preferred them boiled or pan fried.

We cannot fault anything with our visits to this lovely little gem next to the sea. The food is consistently great quality and no matter how busy they are, always a welcome smile and great service. They are very busy at times but it’s rather nice to have table service now. The portions are always generous and the location is second to none. Thank you all for the great service you are providing through extremely challenging times for hospitality. We will be returning.

Average food and rude service.As I first walked in I was almost aggressively told by staff I couldn't bring my coffee in. I apologized and asked if they could dispose of it and one staff member said no, but another took the coffee from me.After ordering and waiting a bit longish my food came and I asked for the latte I had also ordered. The staff member that brought the latte, who seemed a bit put out, handed me the latte and immediately demanded "Nine pound fifty, please". So, while my coffee and breakfast cooled I paid with contactless. Needles to say, no one asked if I needed anything or if things we well at my table.

A 15 minute wait when not even half full to be told that we couldn't sit where we were placed as we wanted drinks only. No toilet facilities on site despite there being over 10 seats. Avoid at all costs.

Wonderful cheerful happy family atmosphere first class food cooked to perfection. A must for hungry locals and visitors alike

Excellent coffee, excellent breakfast, very friendly and skilful staff
