The Pier Coffee

We picked up a takeaway tea and a coffee Illy always good) then sat on the sea facing benches drinking our excellent drinks. The server was very pleasant and chatty without being overpowering. There is limited seating in the cafe but on a sunny day that didn’t affect us.

I had a delightful experience at this café located next to Smeaton's Pier. The service was incredibly friendly and the coffee was fantastic. They also offer a great variety of Italian snacks.

I love visiting this restaurant, hidden away by Smeatons Pier. The Italian owner is so friendly, and their sweet daughter helps out occasionally. We visit St Ives regularly and always make sure to stop by this place.

Have been here several times over the past few years and the food has always been fresh and delicious, drinks always well prepared or local cold/soft and beers. Shame we couldn't eat in this time so Just a coffee and a cake but as always friendly service and excellently prepared flat white and espresso. Will see you again when next in St. Ives.

The illy coffee that is prepared here is delicious and is only one of three coffee shops I will buy my coffee from. I’ve not tried anything else but the cakes looked good.
