Cafés · Bodmin
A farm shop stop on the way to a day out that turns into the highlight of it — the dining room has giant windows looking clear across the bay to Port Isaac, with plenty of seating facing the view both inside and out, so there's room to park a pram and let a toddler stare at boats. Breakfast is the thing to order: thick-cut bacon, proper butcher's sausages, portions that defeat most adults, plus big slabs of homemade cake for sharing. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking, and the staff are quick and unbothered by fuss — one visitor asked for a hotter coffee and got it back without a murmur. Food is a touch pricey for a café, though lunch is genuinely good value. Leave time to browse the shop; families rarely get out without sausages.
