    A wonderful little cafe that has absolutely exquisite home-made cakes! We popped in here on the last day of our holiday and honestly I wished we'd gone sooner! I wanted to try literally everything. I had a jam and cream scone which was beyond amazing, they'd just been baked and were still warm!!! And took home a banana and cream cake which... just WOW so good!!! I'm now back in Bristol and all I can say is I hope they expand to here haha can't wait to go on my next holiday to Cornwall just to try more delicious cakes! Everyone in the cafe was so lovely and friendly too and I found it fascinating watching them making the cakes up in front of us. Absolutely delightful in every single way

    Saw a photo of your mint Aero cheesecake on Facebook this morning and after walking the dog just had to call in and try it. It certainly didn't disappoint - it was delicious! Lovely friendly service too.

    Had a nice break after walking for a few miles. The milkshake was really good. The bacon brie and cranberry was a good combo, and I'm getting hungry again thinking about it. They had a good selection of cakes and at a good price compared to places nearby. Would recommend.
