    We ran across this gem of a tea house while we were looking for a cream tea while staying in…read moreFalmouth (and wine, the other half loves any place that is a wine bar). It's a very unusual type of place, not expected for that area of the country. It reminded me of some place I would have found in Santa Cruz. The decor is quite eclectic and styled from the 1920's. The scones were very tasty (we both had the fruit scones). The tea was some of the best I've had! They use teapigs tea, and it really is amazing. We both ordered Earl Grey, but unfortunately the server was a bit flaky, and I ended up with English Breakfast. (They were both tasty, but the Earl Grey was by far superior for me!) We also ordered a cheese plate consisting of three cheeses: Fourme D'Ambert, Wookey Hole Cheddar, and an English Brie copycat. They were all great. The woman running the place asked us if we wanted French bread or oatcakes, and since I like oatcakes and the other half likes French bread, she made us a plate with both. It was served with a delicious chutney and an amazing honey. We also got a bottle of Sauncere to go with it. We had a great time. The owner's dog runs around trying to get food from all the diners (and she's adorable). We'll definitely go back the next time we're in Falmouth!

    Found/went to Dollys based on Yelp reviews…read more We were driving around the area and wanted to find a place for cream tea. It looked/sounded good. All in all the food was good. The sandwiches/bread in particular were very fresh and tasty. The cream tea was good but - we're talking jam, cream, and scones. Three things that are pretty hard to not like and also pretty hard to balls up. So it was good but the scones could have been warmer/fresher. Our cups and saucers were a bit dirty. I liked the theme generally, although it seemed rather confused. It was neither traditional english, nor 1920s, nor rustic. The space was really nice but it seemed almost too kitsch-y. It kind of just looked lazy. Now the dog is so cute. I loved him/her. But there is a time and a place for a dog and by your table begging for food is not one of them. I think he/she should've been confined to the bar area not the eating part. The service was really good and everyone was really nice. I gave it 2 stars because I think it was good, but I think it could, and should've been much, much better for £4 scone + tea.

    Excellent food, Excellent service, Excellent environment - huge portions. We ate there four times…read moreduring our week in Looe. The food was really first class and the front of house staff were first rate.

    Mixed emotions today - I had an urge for a crab sandwich for lunch and Lascares looked inviting,…read morewith menu boards outside advertising crab. Went in, asked the very nice staff if they had crab, to which the answer was yes, seated at table for 2. My wife and I waited 20 minutes for a menu, although it was not busy,chose crab sandwiches, waited 10 minutes to be told 'crab is still alive, has not been prepared'. We were offered another choice,so plumped for ploughmans. We were offered a plate of olives, 'on the house' as recompense. We were sat just inside the open front, as our meal was served, 4 women sat at the table outside (but next to us) and proceeded to chain smoke throughout our meal, the exhalations wafted over us and filled the area, there was no escape, it was quite disgusting. Add to this the awful ambient music track mixed with a busker with a flute clamouring for attention and the scene was complete. I felt sorry for the staff, who were doing their best, but there is a lack of attention to detail that spoils the experience, and this detracted from some quite acceptable food. I was quite upset about the crab, which was advertised on the menu boards, and if it was fresh in that morning, it should have been cooked and prepared ready for lunch customers.
