The best coffee, homemade cakes and delicious breakfasts and sandwiches on the harbour! We recently spent a week in St Ives and kept returning to the slipway, everything we had was delicious. It is also worth adding the cakes were homemade and divine! The service was really quick and the staff are lovely and friendly!

Now it's just a grab and go spot. Lovely views of the harbour of course. That crab sandwich was delicious ouf. They had an incredible menu and so many lovely Cornish pastries that I wish I could have tried! Absolutely brilliant.

This small coffee shop in St Ives is a perfect little spot right on the seafront, ideal for grabbing a quick coffee to go while soaking in the stunning views. They have a great selection of pastries and cakes, making it hard to choose! I went with the cornflake cake, which was sweet and satisfying, and the chorizo sausage roll, which had a lovely savory kick. Everything is fresh and flavorful, and the location can't be beat—whether you're on the go or just enjoying the coastal atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!- Parking

Here on holiday and what a find!! So pleased to find a great selection of both vegetarian and vegan pasties. Absolutely love the vegan pasty so much that we've been back twice this week and made a bee line to stock up. Pasty is lovely and peppery and stuffed full of filling. Staff on both occasions have been polite and efficient.

A lovely take out spot right on the harbour - exactly what you’d expect from a place like this to be honest and that’s a great thing, it does the job well and exceeded my expectations!
The pasties and sandwiches are a good option for a cheap and quick lunch, but they do have a great selection of specials and healthy alternatives too, something rare in St Ives! The drinks are decent with a good selection once again, and the queues are never outrageous given good service. I had the crab sarnie on ciabatta following special request and it was great, can’t fault it!
Overall lovely experience and will most likely be back when I fancy a quick nibble as I stroll through town!- Service

Thank you so much for the lovely 5* review 😊
I've just read through the other reviews on here and am shocked by the negative ones - the food and service was wonderful today. We ordered a crab sandwich and 5 cornish pastys to take away. Both delicious! The staff were amazing - I had questions on reheating the pastys at home and the girls took the time to explain, they were very friendly and helpful! Thank you girls! Would return on my next visit to St Ives!

Dear Abigail, Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review, I have past on the review to the girls and they commented how lovely you guys were too! We hope to see you again soon!
Had the best pasty I’ve ever had here, if they’re home made then fair play! I come to Cornwall a lot and make a point of eating at least a pasty a day when I’m down, and this pasty has clutched it. No photos as it didn’t last long !

Great little takeaway to eat by the coast. Ordered the onion toastie to great success! The women running the place appeared to be a well oiled machine and very friendly.

The best part of my daily routine is my morning coffee from here, the girls are always friendly and efficient. A must have is either the bacon sandwich or the porridge, but if I want a snack either the fruit flapjack or shortbread is a must. It's constantly busy but the girls never seem flustered and I am always welcomed warmly!!

Quite enjoyed my food from here. Good range of toasties, all around £6. I opted for the New York Special, it was lovely, well filled and tasty. My other half had a latte, this was also well priced and tasty. All food & drink was prepared freshly.
This isn't a restaurant and if you want restaurant service then I'd suggest you eat elsewhere. This is a place to pickup some tasty food/drink with plenty of places to sit nearby. It has a small seating area on the front but there are plenty of benches opposite, or the beach.
Napkins are on the top of the counter and sugar isn't hard to miss either...
Only recommendation is a bin for rubbish but their custom is primarily take away I think and there are plenty of public bin opposite.- Food

Loveliest mince pie I've had for ages, looked homemade and tasted divine. The hot chocolate was nice too, rich and creamy. Staff were friendly.
