Worth going here for the ice cream alone. Never been disappointed by it. Lots of other food available as well as drinks. Outside and inside seating area. Nice friendly people working here. If we’re at this beach we’ll always come here.

The staff are fantastic! My family and I always visit Crantock during the Easter holidays, the food is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming, even when it gets a little busy! Love coming here and would recommend to anyone in the area!

We enjoyed a delicious cream tea, which the server kindly packaged up for us to take down to the beach. A very friendly and welcoming place, nothing was too much trouble. Then, when our car would not start, one of the employees, who happened to be a very experienced mechanic, got us back on the road again. He saved us from a 3-6 hour wait for the RAC. Great service all around!

The owners Tracy and Mark were really friendly and helpful. Although it was after 11.30am and this outside of breakfast time, the cafe wasn't too busy so we were able to have a delicious vegetarian breakfast. The food was good and hot and we were given extra tea and coffee foc to go with it after having finished our drinks while the breakfast was cooking. They sell Marshfield doggie ice-cream which our dog enjoys so he was happy too. We were told about the poppy fields in the next village by Mark so we went to see them in West Pentire. They were stunning. Definitely recommend going to the cafe for a meal or snack. Plenty of tables outside and some inside too, and dog friendly

Visited here on a rainy morning yesterday. I had read the reviews previously to arriving and the complaints about the service in previous reviews are rubbish. Very polite, friendly and chatty staff as well as a tasty breakfast. Thank you
