This little café is absolutely amazing, perched on the rocks overlooking the sea. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a bite to eat, a cocktail, or some cream tea while watching the world go by. There’s a lovely, safe rock pool for children to play in, making it easy to keep an eye on them. I highly recommend the crab sandwich and the cream tea. The staff is friendly, and the food is excellent!

This was our first visit to Cornwall, and it was our very first cream tea (with jam first). We absolutely loved this place! It came highly recommended by friends who visit every year, and now we understand why. The staff was fantastic, and the service was excellent. The cream tea was divine. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back.

This charming little café offers excellent service and a fantastic view. I tried the crab salad, which was very tasty and featured fresh, crisp greens. We also shared a cream tea, and the scones were wonderfully fresh and delicious. Just be mindful of the seagulls! Make sure to take your plates back when you leave, as the gulls can get quite bold. I actually witnessed one cheeky seagull snatch a silver cream pot with a spoon and hop off to the rocks! If you find yourself in Mousehole, don’t miss out on this gem.
