Island Cafe in Cornwall

As of 1st April 2022 the island is no longer assessable if you have your dog which is sad because as like many we’ve previously enjoyed the island cafe many times over the years with our family dog alongside us.

Nice litter cafe at St Michael's Mount. Que did not seem that big when we got there but took 45mins to be served. Prices not too bad. Food was good.

Visited today 14th September 2021 really long slow queue but terribly understaffed. No food left but chips after queueing for 40 minutes or the odd cake which were your normal muffins at £3.50 a pop absolute daylight robbery! Very rude staff

Complete rip off. The only benefit is the location, my poor mother paid £14 for two small salad boxes and a packet of crisps. The extortionate price wouldn't be so bad if the boxes had contained more than lettuce leaves and cucumber, pesto was promised but there was none. The "dressing" was just straight olive oil. I have never made a complaint about an establishment before because I am actually a waitress myself and think complainers should find better things to do. But I feel bad for my poor mum who lost £14 for leaves because we were part of a captive audience and had no choice but to pay £6.50 for five lettuce leaves that were bought by the cafe for less than 50p.

Place is really nice and the atmosphere is amazing during sunny days. The bar staff were lovely but you can tell they're feeling the understaffing issue COVID caused. However the reason why the review has 3 stars is because the cream tea was horrible. The scones were brittle as sand, the clotted cream was hard as a rock so you can imagine what struggle it is to spread the cream. Really disappointing for a Cornish cream tea experience on one of the iconic places of the area.

Nice CafePopped into the Island Cafe on St Michaels Mount on our trip to Cornwall. It is situated next to the beautiful gardens and overlooks the causeway over to the mainland. It has a beautiful seating area outside and was a very relaxing area to sit and have a nice cup of tea.

Friendly, brisk service, although note that the ice cream shack outside is cash-only. Inside does take card, thankfully. You can also get discounted pasties (£2.50) which are still quite warm out the oven at about 4pm. Perfect if you are waiting for the ferry queue to thin down.

Good seating space, nice food and beverage options but with a price tag, which isn't unreasonable considering where you are.

Food is amazing and tasty, best chocolate cake ever, quick service even if busy. Excellent views.

Great service with welcoming staff. Lovely coffee and pasties, with good veg selection considering the size of the place. If it’s good weather try and get a table outside looking over the bay!
