Right inside the town convenient location Typical cottage though it’s bit small it is very cozy and nice interior design The scones served warm same as the sausage roll which all are tasty Could tell the clotted cream is home made 👍🏻 The ladies staff are super sweet and effective in helping

Had the best pastrami sandwich and my sister had prawn and Marie rose sauce. Delicious. I always have crab but decided to have a change. Bit on the expensive side but we are in st Ives in the summer. Have you ever picked the white meat out of a crab . No wonder it's expensive. Service great. It's not fine dining. What do you expect. Will be back again. Keep up the good work 😍

Called in after wandering around St Ives. We were greeted straight away and advised to sit where we wanted, we chose the table in front of the window, with a glimpse of the harbour. It's a cosy cafe. Our order was taken quickly. I ordered a cream tea and was given a choice of drinks. My husband got a breakfast sandwich and hot chocolate. The drinks and food were good and comparitively priced in the area. After we'd finished we went up to the counter to pay.

Usually come here for lunch as it’s one of the most reasonably priced places in town with a good selection of different lunch options… great staff, always really friendly… their new smoothies are really good too. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely Cafe, great breakfast, dog friendly. Visited for a late breakfast and was very impressed. I had the full english breakfast. They were happy for me to swap out the beans (which I’m not a fan of) with another premium item. I doubled down on hash browns. All in, a very impressive ensemble and I especially liked the sausages. One of our party wanted the yoghurt and french toast with the Berry compote but they had ran out of berries. The waitress was really helpful and offered to get more berries from the shop over the road, which we really appreciated. They also let Daniel (The Spaniel) in which he was pleased about after his run on the beach.

The cream Tea (scones with clotted cream, jam and a hot drink) was excellent. Service was very friendly and I appreciated the cozy seating space which some shops are short on.

The lady who took my order was lovely and my allergies were met with real professionalism and care, checking at with the kitchen and the folder for the cakes. I had the chicken BLT and the caramel shortbread which were both delicious.

I find the negative reviews about this place unjustified. I experienced great service and amazing breakfast. Would recommend to everyone based on my visit.

Sky's Diner is a wonderful Café with some truely great food, they cater for vegetarians really well and do some nice vegan pastys too. Their indoor seating is reasonably small catering for about 30 people so you may have to wait at the door for someone to finish before getting a seat at busy breakfast, lunch or dinner times, But they do takeaway from the window (so grab and go it's the same wonderful food at the end of the day). It is on possibility the busiest Street in St. Ives so no parking. The atmosphere is a little crowded indoors but other than that I can't fault it.

It's is all one level from road to inside but you may have to be patient as if there is room other dinners will have to move to let you through. (I'm sure they will be more than happy to do that for you)
