The Elm Tree in Cornwall

Hidden gem! Lovely lunches and cakes in a pretty cafe with the bonus of a pretty garden area. Lunches from 11.30 include salads with gluten free and dairy free options. Staff were really helpful accommodating the baby too! Dogs can go into the garden area and there is parking off the road too.

Very good place to chill either inside or outside with a coffee and cake or tea and homemade scones. Lovely garden. Attentive staff. Will visit again. Great find when you want to beat the crowds on a weekend and spend time with family and relax

We found this place online. It's tucked away and it was such a find!We both had the cream tea. I had the gluten free scones, he had the regular ones. They all came still warm and were lovely. Even the gluten free ones were lush! If you are gluten free, you'll know that bread products are not the best but these ones were soft and light and fluffy. Not made on site but still lovely. The regular ones are made on site and were also soft and light and fluffy. A fruit scone option would have been his choice, though.Plenty jam and cream for the portion of scone. Jam was very fruity, full of flavour.Lovely place, friendly staff. Sandwiches coming out the kitchen looked lovely too!

Lovely lunch and friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

Superb find, very friendly staff and lovely Cornish cream tea.

Sitting in the garden area with my 82 year old mum having the best cream tea I've ever had absolutely lovely and the staff are so nice brilliant all round experience I recommend highly

Best cream tea in Cornwall! Lovely little place in gorgeous surroundings with really friendly staff

It was amazing! From the homemade scones to the clotted cream. Definitely a real countryside feel to it, and allowed you to embrace the natural beauty Cornwall has to offer!

Hands down the best cream tea in Cornwall. The scones are freshly baked and warm, the best I've ever tasted. Beautiful location and friendly staff. Great coffee as well.

Wanted to sample a traditional ‘Cornish Tea’ while visiting Cornwall, and we are very glad we selected this cosy little place for our first one of the holidays.The cream tea was outstanding. The scones were delicious, and the jam and cream (in that order obviously) topped it off! The tea pot was huge, as was the kid sized hot chocolate!Service was friendly and welcoming, even when busy with the steady stream of customers.On a wet weekday, outside of the peak holiday season, the restaurant was busy over the lunch period, so I’d suggest making a booking if possible.Hopefully we can squeeze in another visit before we head home!
