Had a good wait to get served as it was very busy, but it was well worth it! Good variety of GF options available, including most of their breakfasts, cakes and cream teas, but note that these are prepped in the same kitchen area as all of the other food, so all are 'may contain'.

Lovely cafe in Porthleven, fantastic GF options. I ordered the ‘posh fish finger sandwich’ which came with fries and salad followed by a warm GF fruit scone with jam and clotted cream. All of the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Super impressed with this cute little tea shop, just off the harbour in Porthleven. My daughter has intolerances to gluten, dairy and soya and there were, unbelievably, so many options available to her. We went here for breakfast and she had waffles with bacon and maple syrup. We also booked for the full afternoon tea experience (an absolute steal at £18). We had to pre-book and pre-pay a few days in advance but they did a whole separate two-tier cake stand just for our daughter and the chef came out to explain exactly what everything was in detail, including the bread, and was able to answer all our questions. They even gave Izzy a choice of different scones. It's been so long since she's been offered a choice of anything that she didn't know what to say! Aside from the amazing breakfast and lunch options they had a full range of cakes on stands by the counter which were all labelled with their allergens. Most of them were gluten free, quite a lot were also dairy free and about three were soya free aswell...what a find!

What an absolute gem! All gf and df products are prepared and cooked completed seperately on the premises every day. Had the most amazing cream tea with a gf and df scone accompanied by oat whipped cream - just to die for! Staff were so friendly and eager to meet all my dietary needs. Just wished I lived a bit closer......

Great GF full English most items on menu marked as GF adaptable. Both brown and white GF bread available. Only very minor issue was they substituted the sausage with extra bacon instead of asking what we would like instead and did not mention that the sausage was not GF when ordering. Lovely small independent cafe worth a visit.
