What Blowit1666 dislikes about Porthcurno Beach Cafe:
Expensive. Beef pasty was distinctly underwhelming, and certainly ranked very near the bottom on any list of mine. Not exactly overflowing with charm or welcome either. View all feedback.

Beautiful beach cafe. We called in for ice cream and although they were closing they still served us. Lovely vibes and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

This restaurant was a huge disappointment. We were shocked to find that an area with such rich history had nothing more to offer than a baguette and terrible customer service. We rarely leave reviews on TripAdvisor, but this place was a complete insult to the area and its visitors.

We were not greeted upon arrival, only told to move our bike. They only serve coffee, not iced tea, and you have to request a cup with your drink. The prices were high, expected for the location, but what bothered us most was the arrogance of the Australian waitress. A reminder that customers pay the bills would be appreciated. We will not be coming back. We left quickly, feeling disappointed.

We stayed just a few minutes walk away from the cafe, so it was an ideal spot to visit for coffee and snacks. It’s positioned at the bottom of the hill opposite the turn off to walk down to the beach. Staff are friendly and while the menu was limited the food was very nice. We have tried the cream tea, Cornish pasty, baguette and also ice creams from the ice cream bar. The outdoor seating area is lovely and a great spot to sit and unwind. There also beach supplies inside. A really nice little cafe that I’d fully recommend stopping for brunch or refreshments. Beers, wine, cider are also served and I’d recommend the Muscle pot white wine for those who enjoy a nice cold Sauvignon.

If you're planning to visit Portcurno Beach, make sure to bring your own food and drinks. The service is terrible and the prices are ridiculously high. After a long walk along the coast path, we were in need of a drink and a meal. We were charged £4.60 for a piece of cake and £6 for a tasteless frozen pasty. The menu is extremely limited and the staff were unfriendly and robotic, not offering a simple hello or asking how we were. We will not be going back and would advise others against visiting as well.

Nestled near Porthcurno Beach, two cafés embody the contrasting experiences of visitors. One establishment has faced scathing criticism for overpriced, bland food and poor service, leaving guests disappointed after a scenic walk. In stark contrast, the second café delights patrons with friendly staff, inviting ambiance, and delicious offerings, including renowned Cornish pasties and delightful ice creams. With reasonable prices and a perfect beachside location, it remains a cherished spot for many locals and tourists alike. For a satisfying culinary stop, look no further than the café that prioritizes both quality food and exceptional hospitality.

We had a great experience at this beach cafe. Despite the busy beach, we were able to quickly find a table and enjoy fast service and good food. We tried the pasties, a tuna fish baguette, and Kelly's ice cream, all of which tasted delicious and were reasonably priced.

Unbeatable location with views out to sea and only a few minutes walk from Porthcurno Beach. Welcoming and friendly owner and staff, good food and reasonable prices. Opened last weekend for the 2022 season and we'll be back there ASAP.

A must visit cafe, you could easily feel abroad with the sun and a beer/ice cream! Lots of nice food available and a reasonably priced bucket and spade.
