Cafe's and Cake Stops - Falmouth Wheelers Forum

The Green Room, St Agnes

Dean — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 08:52:44 +0000

This new cafe should soon become a firm favourite with Wheelers, Handily placed at Peterville, the bottom of the hill out of St Agnes, the Greenroom offers a wide menu bound to satisfy even the fussier members, like me. Service is good, food is good and prices are good. Inside and porch seating. Reservations will be accepted. Open 7 days. 01872 553991.

Linden Hey cafe

Linden Hey cafe is at Penelowey, past the Punch Bowl and Ladle, on the road from Playing Place down to the turn off for Trelissick and the King Harry Ferry. There's a bike rack, big tables to sit outside in fine weather, and plenty of seating inside. The owner is lovely - couldn't be more friendly and welcoming, and she hopes to have more customers on bikes. The tea and coffee were very good, and the collection of tea pots in various designs was fascinating. Soup, cakes and toasted tea cakes are on the menu, but no butties or beans so far - but hopefully soon. Prices are reasonable and the house and garden is very attractive. Only one loo, so a bit of a queue - more will be needed as Linden Hey becomes better known.

Yummy Scrummy cafe, Devoran

On the sight of the old car sales garage at the northern entrance to Suicide Alley, this new cafe has a very extensive menu which they try to cater for in a tiny kitchen....too ambitious maybe? Our order took some time to arrive and wasn't exactly what we'd asked for, but the service was friendly and helpful, the coffee was good (can't vouch for the tea) and the 'Snug' room was cozy on a chilly day. It's open every day from 8.30 to 5pm, and prices are about average. We got the feeling that as a new venture, they'll learn as they go along and could be very good with a bit of tweaking.

Harbourside Cafe

Those wanting a different experience to that offered by "Nauti but nice, at Porthleven, may wish to look across the harbour to the harbourside cafe. It certainly gets my vote. Plenty of room, during the winter, at least, for parking bikes safely in the small courtyard at the front and room a plenty inside too. A good simple menu and excellent prices.

Jenn’s Diner

This was Keith’s suggestion and followed up by the OGIL on a very wet Wednesday morning. 5 dripping cyclists were made welcome and the leatherette seats coped with our sogginess completely. Advertised as Good Cornish Food with an American style it didn’t disappoint. Bright and welcoming with the Juke box playing in the corner. An easy ride from Falmouth you will find Jenn's on the Portreath Road, under the viaduct, just outside Redruth.

Cafe Chaos

Most of the cafes on regular Wheelers ride routes are to the north west and west of Falmouth. The Cafe Chaos fully fits the bill for a suitable cafe stop on the outskirts of Truro, but alas, is only open during week days. Run by the Chaos Group (Community helping all of Society) the cafe offers good inexpensive food in a very welcoming environment. You will find the cafe next to the vet at the top of Tregolls Road.

St Agnes Bakery

If “Pasties or cake” suits you then the bakery in St Agnes is a great weekday destination. Mind you, the choice of pasty fillings, including a veggie and a vegan variety that was just superb, will have you pondering for a while. Seating upstairs so order before you go up. Nothing but praise on TripAdvisor so don’t just take my word for it.

The Cabin, Perranuthnoe.

Make sure you are there by 11am if you want to order off the breakfast menu but whenever you arrive you will be rewarded with good food and good service. Sit outside or in and capture the view. Reasonable prices.

Helston Boating lake

A good choice on a wet or sunny day, having several routes to get there and inside and outside seating. Usually busy but always a good welcome and reasonable menu at reasonable prices. Don’t forget a bag of food for the swans and ducks before you sit down to your own breakfast.

Dewspring Tea Room, Piece.

Unfortunately the Dewspring Tea Room is only open on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this year as it is a great alternative to Stithians lakeside for those wanting a shorter ride. The two women who run the tea room are very welcoming and with a good menu at reasonable prices. Lunches are also available.
