The deli inside has a great selection of locally made teas, coffee, gins and shortbreads. And the ladies running the show are so accommodating and friendly. For a small touristy town I was blown away. 10/10 would recommend!! ”

“ Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food. The Reuben sandwich was one of their specials when we visited - 10/10, my husband was pleased with his pulled pork burger and the waffle was also great. We were well fed before visiting the castle. I would recommend to others. ”
“ Charlie’s Cafe is a fantastic spot when you’re in the Tintagel area. They serve delicious waffles and coffee, along with a great selection of sandwiches and homemade soups. The wait time was a bit long, but the food was absolutely worth it. ”
“ Stopped for lunch after a hike around Tintagel Castle and walking back up that BIG hill. We weren't disappointed as Charlie's is a gem of a place. Great coffee, brilliant food and even better hospitality, lunch was really great. Such a wide menu to choose from and same on drinks and cakes. A good choice of indoor/outdoor seating and table service was really attentive. Highly recommended if you want a bite to eat and/or a drink while visiting Tintagel/Tintagel Castle. ”
“ Oh My God!. We stopped off at Charlie's after visiting Tintagel, I love supporting independent businesses, but Charlie's really set the bar for Fresh Food complimented with Excellent Service. It's so lovely to see a little business that supports other local brands. Be that including ingredients in the food served in the cafe to selling produce in the little shop. The price of food represented excellent value for money. We opted for the savoury and sweet scones, both of which were freshly prepared and of great taste, portion size, and quality. The hot drinks were again beautifully presented and of great taste. It's so lovely to see a family owned and run business succeeding. It's no wonder that Charlie's has won several awards. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would have no hesitation in recommending. It was so disappointing we couldn't visit on Sunday, but it's only fair that Charlie's team gets a day off. ”
