“ Free goodbye coffee - How nice ! For the past three years of travelling from Paris to Falmouth, my first and last stops have always been Castle Beach Cafe. Since Emily opened the cafe, this beautiful and discreet beach has become the most charming and welcoming place I’ve ever visited. You’ll find addictive homemade recipes, high-quality coffee, and nonstop smiles and kindness. It’s clear that this place is driven by a sense of community, and it feels warm to experience such dynamism while on holiday! I’ve been going there every day each summer and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! Emily even kindly offered us a coffee before she was officially open when she saw us coming down to the beach before our train back to Paris... bless her! I hope you can all enjoy this beautiful place! P.S. It’s vegan-friendly, dog-friendly (with treats), and has the best toasties I’ve ever had (both summer and winter ones)!! ”
“ A real gem right down by the sea, ate a tasty toasted sandwich lunch in the lovely new, cabin with open French windows, such relaxing surroundings, with the gentle sound of the sea, and comfy chairs. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. ”
“ An outstanding cafe with a great staff, amazing cakes and amazing toasties!!! I don’t go as often as id like. But I’m always greeted warmly, and looked after well and Stevie always gets a treat! Thank you!! ”
“ Amazing cafe with hardworking staff and owner. Running a hospitality business is extremely difficult with rising utility costs, NI payments and staff wages. Making it a success and providing a good service for the right price is the hardest job in this industry (I know because I do it too) The team work long hours and very hard to provide a lovely community cafe with exceptional produce. Well done team Castle. Still smashing it daily. ”
“ I love the face that this is my local cafe. And now I’m able to visit in all weathers since Emily has given us a beautiful room to sit in and watch the sea. Without exception the food is delicious and all home made. Always clean and tidy and the staff are so friendly and helpful. My favourite place to while away an hour..... or more! ”
“ Absolutely adore this cafe! The food is all delicious and the menu changes regularly. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are incredible. They do the most fantastic one off events all year round. There’s a small inside seating area which can get busy as the fact that this is the best cafe in Cornwall is no secret! Their infamous roastie toasties are to die for and well worth standing outside in the lashing wind and rain for if you can’t get a seat! ”
“ Recently visited for a bite to eat & a coffee. The setting is beautiful, the food was delicious & the service was outstanding. Even though we did have water & a bowl in a bag for our dogs, when a member of the team noticed our dogs panting, without being asked, they presented us with a bowl of water for our two hounds, that speaks volumes to me. Happy hubby & wife lunch date, very much look forward to our return. Thank you all for such a lovely experience. ”
“ Absolutely love coming here! The dedication and passion of the team is unmatched. Castle Beach cafe’s matcha and coffee always shows high quality and taste. We love that Emily is working hard to independently run her cafe with the help of her young crew. We especially love the elderflower Sunday special, toasties (roasty toasty anyone) and selection of cold drinks. Well done to Emily and everyone in the team, you are doing an outstanding job! ”
