Best cake ever! Completely fresh and the most delicious I've ever had. The summer fruit cake 🥰 Wonderful service as always and the best pot of tea. All their food and drinks are top class. Visited twice this week on our holiday. Wish we lived nearer. Thank you Olives Cafe team xx
To be honest I found Cornish cream tea generally speaking nothing special. It is just a spongy scone with a soft kind of butter and ordinary jam. So when pairing it with a cup of coffee cost £8, it felt like the price of being a tourist. But the experience was good as the shop sat in the corner of picturesque stone paved winding streets, stone houses and small art galleries.
A hidden gem...
Worth coming away from the main harbour area to find this little tearoom
Super fresh scones and a great tasting sausage roll sampled today.
And nice to find somewhere providing a proper salad not just a bag of Sainsbury's leaves on the side 😁
Loved this place. Most amazing blueberry scones and cream…the Prosecco option was exactly what my wife wanted as she is not a tea/coffee drinker. Lovely little spot in heart of st ives, lots of entertainment watching cars tying to turn into the little lane opposite. Great service. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a bigger menu but given the size of kitchen can’t blame them. The salads and sausage roll looked amazing
Amazing little cafe tucked away in St Ives. The cream tea was amazing and the staff were so friendly. They overheard me and my partner talking about it being my birthday and wrote happy birthday on my plate. Thank you!!
Took my parents here for their first ever cream tea and we all loved it! Such a cute and friendly place with fresh, home baked cakes. Genuinely the best scone I've EVER had - I had an apricot and pecan flavoured one. I highly recommend this place!
WOW excellent! Lovely friendly, warm welcoming staff. I had the pork, apple and cider sausage roll with salad and it was amazing! Dressing and chutney beautiful, thoroughly enjoy it!
Tried the blueberry scone and that was so nice, fresh and at present the nicest scone I've tried in St.Ives ❤️ beautiful! Will make sure from now on this is a mush when we visit 😋
Had a delicious quiche for lunch today. Cafe is in a lovely location. Service was wonderful.
Only wish I could easily go back for a slice of one of the amazing looking cakes.
Lovely experience here at Olives Cafe. Staff are very welcoming, lovely atmosphere and the scones with clotted cream and jam are delicious!
Definitely recommend a visit!
What a little find! This is a great café, slightly away from the main busy seafront doing delicious cream teas! Looked like there was some great cakes available too.
