I can't stop thinking about their breakfast wraps. It was a taste sensation. ?

The best coffee in Newquay by a mile! Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee never fails to impress.

The nicest pancakes I have had in a while! Fluffy soft with rich syrup. Flat white top notch. Awesome, laid back staff

Great little brunch /coffee venue. Things are a little over pricy but the quality is there and portions are good! Great coffee beans, no bitterness. All round great service and good vibesVegetarian options: Plenty of options here!! Literally loads ?Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating menu and all the staff are very knowledgeable and happy to helpWheelchair accessibility: Maybe not quite so easy due to this place being very popular

"10% holiday tax", In May half-term: I ordered a takeaway coffee and croissant. After paying, I realized that the amount was higher than I expected. I asked the lady at the till about it, and she explained that it's the "10% holiday tax." I pointed out that this tax wasn't displayed on the board or window. She showed me the eat-in menu with tiny writing that mentioned the 10% extra charge during holidays.Curious about the purpose of the tax, I asked if it was for council upkeep, and she said yes, during holidays, everyone charges it. Later, I asked the barista, and he gave a different reason, saying it was to keep the business going, and again, everyone charges it.This surprised me because, during my one-week stay in Newquay, this was the only place that applied a 10% holiday tax, and also, they didn't openly advertise it.In response to the box&barber comment: I was getting a takeaway. I looked at the prices on the display board, which did not mention/include the tax at all. It is unreasonable to expect people to look at the eat-in menu to see there is a 10% tourist tax

Beautiful cafe with really good looking food options. We had Avo slice with additional bacon and poached egg perfectly cooked and just what we need after surfing.

First breakfast at Newquay after seeing some reviews via YT videos.The lady at the counter was so nice and kind and really welcoming.We opted for the pancakes and scrambled egg on toast. It was amazing, loved it!Only bit of advice I’d give is - please provide more options for the pancake flavourings and secondly, please provide other breads other than the sourdough only for the bread. (I didn’t ask if there was any other bread so may be wrong here)Overall, enjoyed it!

Great service. Gorgeous food with little tables outside on a not very busy street. Staff did all they could to accommodate customers and customers were a happy mixed bunch of couples , friends and peeps with very some very well behaved babies. Definitely recommend!

We visited box and barber In Newquay at the start of august for breakfast. Ordered a pancakes and bacon, scrambled eggs on sourdough with halloumi and a açai berry bowl - we were very surprised how good it was. Nicely laid out little place, very busy mainly because of their excellent reputation. We ordered and food came out quickly. Also picked up a overnight oats when we left, the portions were huge! We definitely be going back when we visit Cornwall again next year. Thank you

Coffee here is bang bang - lovely flavour and well made . Food style is awesome , great flavours although my Maverick wrap was loaded with egg shell or grit on the spinach - ate what i could as had to get on the road. Would deffo return , awesome atmosphere too ✌?

Brunch was good, Avo nice and fresh, pancakes delicious. Busy place but quick table turnaround. Good coffee and service. Dog friendly (a fair amount inside) cosy corner for me to crank out my laptop for a bit of work time too with charging sockets all over.

Absolutely sublime. The coffee is amazing and the food looks

Not amazing but not terrible either. Ordered the pancakes with bacon and eggs. Bacon was good quality but the pancakes were a bit tough and dried out and the eggs were odd. They tasted slightly burnt while also being quite soft and verging on undercooked? I like my eggs soft but this was almost too much. Like overcooked eggs were mixed in with raw egg I suppose.I’m sure visiting after the holiday period would be better as there’d be less pressure on the kitchen. It was busy when we visited.
