Searching out new Cafes on the Cornwall Coast Path

I love the far West, and in two week's time I'm going to be moving to Penzance. I'm going to make it my mission to try out every cafe I can find from Penzance, around the coast to St. Ives, and across the tip back to Penzance. This is quite a small area, but I think it has quite a dense concentration of cafes.

There will be times when I will venture further east; sometimes I might cross the Tamar or even go across the Channel. But most of my reviews will focus on this isthmus. Some of the best cafes to find are the ones you stumble across, like the Lamorna Cafe at Lamorna Cove or the Nosebag in Porthleven, or the little huts selling coffee and pasties like the one at Cape Cornwall (though sometimes I think that pasty tasted so good because we were starving; certainly the coffee wasn't very nice!)

But if stumbling fails to throw up a cafe opportunity, I shall turn to my trusty guide. 'The Cornwall Coast Path' published by Trailblazer just in 2012, so very up to date, and written by Joel Newton & Henry Stedman, based on an earlier book by Edith Schofield. www.trailblazer-guides.com

And for a taster of some of the places I shall be visiting see this short video produced for Visit Cornwall:
