The Best Breakfast St Ives has to offer
The Cornish Deli
3 Chapel Street, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26 2LR
A compact menu with a variety of Full Cornish Breakfast but also added spice from the Frazzled Chorizo and Mushrooms dish.
Prices are fairly typical of Cornwall (I do admit that a 3 egg omelette is on the expensive side at £9.50 though). Fresh, local ingredients and good quality, tasty dishes make this small place, a little Cornish gem for breakfast.
Service is described as excellent, with children and families being made extra welcome.
Open 6 days per week (Closed Sundays) from 9.30am.
Visit The Cornish Deli for the breakfast/brunch menu and occasional changes to seasonal opening times.

Birdies Bistro, Griggs Quay, Hayle, TR27 6JG
A gorgeous place with stunning views near the Coastal path – this is the perfect place for breakfast after a morning walk.
An extensive breakfast menu at this Bistro in the Hayle area of St Ives. Loving the addition of Bubble and Squeak that you don’t see often enough on breakfast menus.

I have never visited Cornwall before, so it’s nice to know where to grab some breakfast! Not sure on the prices though, I expected expensive – but almost £10 for a 3 egg omelette? Ouch!
