While the flavor profile did not match my tastebuds this day, the latte was superb and the milk held until the last drop. Which signals mad skills and a dedication to pulling a cup that the barista would be proud to serve in a completion. I like that. Had a slice of banana bread. Tasty. The wife had a cortado. Never got a sip. So I am certain it was good as well. I loved how asking a question about the beans of the day evoked a conversation...an actual conversation about the origins and intents of the beans they sell. It matters. Single origin and a relationship to the grower. How cool is that? Way cool. Worth the trip to Falmouth to find...but hurry up. They close at 3pm.

Apparently this is a brand new location for Espressini, but it's already up and running nicely. My…read morewife and I had two of the very best flat whites we've ever had here, made from freshly roasted Geisha coffee from Boquete, Panama. I have a soft spot for Panamanian coffee, as my parents lived there for a few years, but I think any objective taster would agree that this was good stuff. Anyway: perfectly pulled espresso, great temperature (hot, not warm), perfect amount of milk steamed just right. And a cute space in a good location, friendly and laid-back barista, and wonderful-smelling bags of coffee all around the shop. Oh, and a bottle of tap water provided on the table! The only problem with this place is that it's in Falmouth instead of London, so I won't visit as often as I'd like.

Needing a place to dive in out of the weather, Polpeor Cafe, was perfect, spectacular views from the outside seating, and a split level cafe inside. We managed to grab one of the last tables by the kitchen and perused what was quite a comprehensive menu, from snacks like sandwiches, to jacket potatoes with a full salad, to more substantial meals like pies, burgers and many fish dishes. We opted for an Egg Mayonnaise sandwich to share and a tea cake, with accompanying Earl Grey tea. The food and drinks arrived very quickly and although essentially snacks were some of the nicest food we had on our holiday, the egg sandwich being particularly good, with its accompanying fresh salad. Lots of tempting cakes and meringues for afters too, but we resisted. A fantastic cafe with great food, superb service, with a truly stunning backdrop, five stars every time!

A good range of outdoor seating, which was bustling and full up on the day we visited, courtesy of it being a glorious summer's day; the filled sandwiches and slices of cake looked very tasty, as they seemed to constantly arrive from the kitchen. We managed to get a table inside, and decided on light snack of a teacake and to sample the Tregothnan tea (Cornish tea). The peppermint tea was light and refreshing, just perfect for a hot summer's day. The kitchen inside was a hive of activity, as more and more people descended on the tea rooms. We would have liked to sample more of the menu, but sadly we had a long journey ahead of us that day, but there's always the next time we visit Boscastle!
