There can be few beachside cafes in Cornwall – or Britain, for that matter – with a finer location than this one, huddled among the rocks on the edge of Kynance Cove. For lunch you'll find pasties, crab sandwiches and burgers, chased down with classic cream teas and yummy cakes, all best savoured at one of the outside picnic tables.
