Cafe Art
Welcome to Cafe Art, a charming little haven nestled within The Drill Hall on Chapel Street, Saint Ives. This delightful cafe is not just a spot to grab a quick coffee; it's a true experience for all the senses that captures the heart of this picturesque coastal town.
The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages you to linger a little longer. The cozy decor, friendly smiles, and the gentle hum of conversations make it the perfect place to unwind. Whether you're stopping by for a quick caffeine fix or looking to enjoy a leisurely brunch, Cafe Art is designed to cater to all your needs.
Speaking of caffeine, their coffee is nothing short of exceptional. From a robust Americano to a velvety Cappuccino or a rich Mocha, each cup is crafted with meticulous care. A standout favorite is their Flat White, which promises a beautiful balance of rich espresso and creamy milk, perfect for awakening your senses. Not a coffee drinker? No worries! They also offer refreshing options like Elderflower Presse and Polgoon Lemonade, ideal for a sunny day.
The food menu at Cafe Art is equally appetizing, with freshly prepared items that reflect a commitment to quality. Indulge in their deliciously crispy bacon rolls or treat yourself to the unique honey, cinnamon, and banana toastie, which is a delightful twist on the traditional offering. Each bite tells a story of homemade goodness and creativity, making it a must-try for any visitor.
Customers rave about the friendly service, with many mentioning the staff's willingness to go above and beyond. Jamie Knowles shares his experience, noting, "Staff were so pleasant... everything was done with a lot of care and attention." This sentiment is echoed by Nathan Wilson, who appreciated the calm, comforting demeanor of the team—even during slight delays. It’s this personal touch that makes Cafe Art more than just another cafe; it’s a community hub where guests feel valued and at home.
Outdoor seating offers the perfect opportunity for people-watching while sipping on a cup of Cornish cream tea, as Lars Sp enjoyed during his visit. The ambiance allows you to soak in the vibrant energy of Saint Ives while enjoying delicious bites and brews.
In a world where many cafes can come off as generic or rushed, Cafe Art stands out as a beacon of warmth and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure you carve out some time to visit this lovely spot. Take a seat, sip on their fantastic coffee, and immerse yourself in the friendly atmosphere that keeps customers coming back for more.
