Café etiquette, Cornish style

Busy mornings? Order at the counter and find a sunny perch; seaside spaces appreciate quick table turns in peak hours. Keep beaches beautiful by recycling cups or bringing a reusable mug—many places offer a discount.

Whether you’re wandering Truro’s streets, hugging Newquay’s coast, exploring Penzance, St Ives and Falmouth, or heading inland to St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Bude and Launceston, there’s a friendly café waiting.
