Love the food here. The salads are so good they use seasonal produce and therefore change regularly. The homity pie is scrumptious as is the excellent coffee.. love this cafe thanks to the wonderful staff.

I arrived in St Ives 2 days ago, came to favourite cafe in Penzance today, Archie Browns. It’s still the best food in West Cornwall. Had Quiche and salad followed by courgette and pistachio cake, 2 cups of the best Americano. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I left with a perfect take away salad for later. Thank you.
