The Cornish bakery co. I so love the almond croissant, and great coffee. Great staff in here. Wish I could pop in more often.

Probably the best vegetarian pasty I’ve ever had, so much so a seagull fought me for it (I Lost). My partner also loved his steak and Stilton pasty and he’s a bit of a pasty connoisseur.

Very tasty pasties we tried the traditional veggie and sausage roll. All good as was the tea.

We were in a really bad mood when we got there. The barista was very friendly and we really enjoyed the excellent coffee. The interior was nice and comfortable. We shared something (a don't really know what it was, it looked like a piece of cake but was very spongy and sweet, maybe some kind of bread pudding?) and we both liked it. Being there really lifted our mood! Unfortunately there were no toilets, which is the only negative thing I can say!

Great coffee and good pastries. Been coming here for years. Views across the harbour. Tall tables and seats with no space for pushchairs keeps the kids away. Adult friendly.
