Extremely disappointed with how my wife and I were treated today. We went to Padstow for a trip out and decided to pop into the Cherry Trees Coffee House (harbour side) for a coffee and may be something to eat. I asked for a table for a couple of coffees. The coffee shop only had two other customers (time being 1:30pm) yet we were treated to a statement ”as we’re not too busy we will let you take a table”, clearly not wanting us custom if only wanting a coffee each. We did buy a slice of cake as well. After finishing and paying and just about to leave there was a heavy hail shower so just waited for a minute. The lady said “if we get busy I will have to ask you to leave”, at that moment another couple came in, we stepped aside and the lady then said “see this is what I meant” insinuating we were in the way. We promptly left into the heavy shower and will definitely not be spending our money in that tea shop again. This time of year in Padstow most shops are closed and the town is extremely ghostly quiet. We like to have a drink an bite to help out the traders in these quiet times but obviously our custom was not appreciated here.

As locals we have been coming here for over eight years, However went out of season last week and was shocked at the RUDE staff, we were told if you don’t have a cake and coffee each we were not welcome at 2pm in the afternoon, then they sat us almost on top of other dinners with only about 20cm gap between tables!? Yet another Padstow tourist trap now who have become greedy, shame on you Emma and family, maybe you forget who helped you through the covid periods? Last visit from us and we will no longer recommend to any of our guest!

Called in for the second time today after the coffee and cake we had last time was so good. Visited with friends who were equally impressed. Large portions of coffee and walnut and victoria sandwich were the choice today. Staff very welcoming and friendly too. Will definitely be visiting again soon and may be for lunch/brunch next time.

Called in & couldn't see a free table but the lovely lady pushed two together for our party of 4. Cakes were excellent - coffee & walnut & victoria sponge. Coffee was delicious. Service was great & felt welcomed. Would definitely go again to try some of the lovely looking food. Highly recommend a visit. So nice to find a coffee shop that is not part of a chain.

Of all the places to eat in Padstow this must be one of the best independent restaurants. Everything from coffees, cakes, soups and pasties. Good, friendly service from the moment we arrived. Prompt food service. Located right on the front overlooking the harbour. 5*

Excellent little cafe, a great place for brunch

Visited for lunch, and the food was so good I went back for afternoon coffee and cake. The food is wonderful, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend the ‘magic mushrooms’ on the brunch menu and the berry roulade!

Delicious Cream teas and great cappuccino. Very friendly and our collie recommends the turkey biscuits.... Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy on cold day....

This cafe is top of our list to visit when we come to Cornwall, we love it. We often have to wait for a seat, but it's totally worth it. Today, we stopped off for breakfast and returned later for cake. Service is always so friendly, too. Great to hear they've opened a 2nd cafe & gift shop, just around the corner.
This is the only place to have coffee/ tea and cake in Padstow! Worth the wait for a table every time, and if you really don’t have time just do takeaway cake. Great for breakfast or a light lunch. Always amazing cake, cookie, flapjack, roulade/ pavlova, and always great service. Any where else we go is always compared to The Cherry Tree!

Average pasty but salads were amazing Be aware that dining in is much more expensive than take outs e.g indoor pasty approx £4 more than same pasty taken out

This is the best place ever for eat in or take away desserts. We had take away this time - cream tea, strawberry cheesecake and the infamous lemon meringue pie Highly recommend

We called in for cappuccinos and were tempted by a scone too. Lovely coffee and the scones were amazing! We watched a fabulous lemon meringue being conveyed from the kitchen to the counter and we’ll definitely have some on another visit!
