Tate St Ives Cafe // St Ives

Porthmeor Rooftops - St Ives

It's all about the view on the top floor of the famous Tate St Ives, but it is also home to an excellent little cafe. After exploring the galleries, head upstairs to the Tate Cafe for a rejuvenating slice of cake and a cup of coffee.

You don't actually need to visit the gallery to have lunch or a cuppa in the cafe. The ocean views from the cafe and its terrace are incredible at all times of year (although hang onto your sandwich if it's blowing a hooley and you're sitting outside…).

The Tate and its cafe are often busy; however, up on the top floor, away from the busy streets of St Ives, it does feel like you've escaped the crowds for a while. Find a table on the terrace and breathe in that sea air…
