The Tintagel Castle Beach Cafe is an absolute gem! What truly stood out during our visit was the incredible kindness & helpfulness of the staff. Even though they were technically closed, they went above and beyond by getting ice cream for our children. This small act completely made our kids' day, and we were so incredibly thankful for their thoughtfulness. It's rare to encounter such genuine care and willingness to help. This level of service is truly exceptional and deserves more than just five stars! If you're visiting Tintagel Castle, make sure to stop by the beach cafe, you'll be greeted with warm smiles and potentially even a little extra magic! Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for such a memorable moment.

This Café is near the entrance to the Tintagel Castle. The location was nice, interior welcoming and warm. We initially wanted hot food but the day we visited the staff told that they were not serving hot food for some reason. The staff are nice and friendly. We ordered coffee and a really nice cake here.

Went here yesterday for the first time after our walk and explore around Tintagel. The ladies and the young chap who worked in the cafe were absolutely brilliant and really friendly and funny. Great bunch. The pasties were absolutely epic! Great little cafe to visit after a walk. Gave us energy to walk back up the hill.

Such a lovely experience after exploring Tintagel castle. We sat outside and ordered from the hatch from a warm staff member. We had a delicious deluxe hot chocolate, slice of lime and passion fruit cake, a sausage roll and a very delicious curried vegetable pasty. A lovely spot to enjoy the views and food before the walk back.
