Where to eat Cafe food in Fowey: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Cafe food in Fowey, England, United Kingdom. Fowey (/ˈfɔɪ/ ( listen) FOY; Cornish: Fowydh, meaning 'Beech Trees') is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town has been in existence since before 1300; the estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. Privateers also made use of the sheltered harbourage. The Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway brought China clay here for export.

What a fantastic breakfast. Just loved the service and the food. Great selection of different breakfasts all with Toast, Juice and Hot Drink included. I had Bubble and Squeak with Eggs, Bacon, and Mushroom. The other three had small, large and medium breakfasts - all great.The decor is fab .... almost as good as the food.Wish we lived closer!

As well as selling the fudge (ice cream and other treats), you can also watch the fudge being made, which is great. The sea salt, which was being made that day, was so good that the taster sample convinced me to buy some! Friendly service too.

Busy, vibrant coffee shop with more. Very good coffee and delicious Chelsea bun with salted caramel - not too sweet, thanks to the lovely bun. Newly opened upstairs provides lots of reading areas and casual seating with a deliberately modern, bright, homely feel. Pity I wasn't in Cornwall longer. I would definitely return - frequently.

To day we were walking through Fowey on a lovely day and thought a crab sandwich would be nice. We stopped at Captain Hank's crab and snack shack. At £8.95 from a mobile stall the cost of a sandwich seemed expensive, but crab is not cheap and we hoped to have a great sandwich. What a huge disappointment, for £8.95 we got two enormous slices of rather sweet white bread with a very chewy crust and the thinest slither of crab meat in mayonnaise with a couple of sprigs of dill. The taste of the crab was hardly discernible and the bread was a massive amount, totally out of proportion to the miniscule amount of crab.I complained and was offered my money back, this I refused as I felt it was better to write a review and warn others than to take the money and allow this service to continue. Later on as we were walking along the street a lady came up to me, and said that she had heard me complain and like me she had thought the sandwich a disgrace and had also complained. She did not tell me whether she was offered her money back nor whether if she were, she took it.All I can say is be warned - Fowey is full of excellent cafe's and restaurants and crab sandwiches, full of crab can be purchased at many of the.I'm terribly sorry you left unhappy with your experience. It genuinely upsets me that this is the case. I work 7 days a week most weeks and am going through one of the hardest periods of my life (grandad died, mother in acute care in hospital, father unable to look after himself properly - all in last 2 weeks) whilst trying to run a business single handedly. I say this not for sympathy but perhaps to explain why there might have been a brief lapse in quality. It is never my intention to rip people off which is why I immediately offered you a refund and apology. You refused this, as is your prerogative, but I don't understand why. I hope you accept my invitation to return for a crab sandwich on the house and I'll prove to you why I've received 26 other 5 star reviews. Kind regards

Stumbled across this cafe on our first visit to Fowey today. A bit of a squeeze to fit five of us and a dog on the terrace at the front, but it was no problem, and we had a bit of a view of the river too. Very friendly and efficient staff, gorgeous Bakewell tart, delicious cheese scones, lovely coffees and hot chocolate - all our party were very happy with their choices. Would definitely recommend!

You really have to squeeze in here as a tiny, quaint Cornish building. It really was worth the squeeze though. The best breakfasts are always made with quality ingredients and this was hugely apparent here- great sausages (Kittows) great bacon, great bread, all absolutely wonderful. Will be back

The best Tearooms in Fowey. Ask Nigella Lawson she goes there.

We absolutely loved our afternoon tea at The Dwelling House (first week of September). It was a rainy afternoon and we traipsed around looking for GF offerings in Fowey only to stumble on this MEGA GEM of a tea shop with serious GF thoughtfulness! Honestly it can be so tricky sometimes but here we were made to feel right at home from the second we opened the menu - lots of options for us not just 1 thing. We had gluten free crab sandwiches and both had GF scone cream tea (the dream) but equally could have easily ordered lots of other yummy options.The setting is perfect, like sitting in a grand old lady's sitting room!Thanks again!
