Awesome. Arguably the best Cream Tea ever. Defo the nicest scones ever. Nice staff and nicely situated smack in the middle of Town.

I love everything about this tea room! I managed to fit in 2 visits during my short stay in St Ives. The carrot cake was one of the best I've had (I have very particular carrot cake requirements) and the scones were deliciously fresh. Beautiful decor and crockery enhanced by friendly and quick service. If you want a cream tea or tea room experience I recommend a visit to this spot.

I’ve been to The Market Place a few times now and it’s the most wonderful little place! The lady that runs it is so warm and friendly, and does such a great job. I’d definitely recommend for the best afternoon tea in St Ives - I’ll be back soon.

Lovely service. Very nice paninis and jacket potatoes with a generous portion of salad. We had had a hard job finding something suitable for us all to eat in St Ives, so were very happy to find this pretty tearoom. We sat upstairs where it was very peaceful and prettily decorated. The huge slices of delicious cake were much appreciated, and the rhubarb and raspberry presse was very refreshing. Staff were very friendly and polite. We didn't have to wait long for our food which was freshly made to order. We will definitely go there again on our next visit.

We found this beautiful tea room by chance. WHAT A FIND?! It had a lovely atmosphere and service for the ladies. We enjoyed a cream tea each and the scones were some of the best scones I have had in Cornwall! They reminded me of my great grandmother’s scones. Would highly recommend and if I find myself in St Ives again, I will definitely be visiting.

Having lost track of time surfing I was trying to find somewhere to get a very late lunch (4pm). Most places serving lunch had closed and restaurants were already busy or were reopening at 5pm. I ended up stumbling upon Market Place Tea Rooms. Such a great find given the circumstances. They were only meant to be serving cake, scones and drinks as it was 1 hour before closing. Despite them having closed the kitchen for hot food service the staff went out of their way, reopening the kitchen, to make me a jacket potato with sides. The food was great and quickly served. I highly recommend the incredible chocolate fudge cake. Very much a welcome spot, great atmosphere and accommodating staff. I will be back again.

Superb tearooms in the centre of St Ives, great food, very friendly and lovely staff. Food we ordered was well presented and tea was served in lovely bone China cups. All in all the place is a credit to the owner and we'll definitely be back.

Stumbled upon this beautiful tea rooms on a rainy day in St Ives, I can say I was amazed by not only the food, but also by the fantastic staff who whilst being both polite and professional managed to keep on top of the cafe even though it was full to the brim! What a beautiful place full of smiling staff and customers! Cannot recommend enough!
