Cream Tea Polperro
The Perfect Treat | Group Bookings Welcome
Located in the heart of Polperro, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque fishing villages, our charming coffee shop on Fore Street offers the quintessential Cornish cream tea experience.
Our Cream Tea - A Taste of Cornwall
There’s nothing quite like a cream tea, It’s more than just a snack; it’s a much loved tradition enjoyed by us Brits since the 1600’s. At our coffee shop, we’re proud to offer an experience that keeps locals and tourists coming back time and again. Located just a short stroll from the harbour and beach, we provide the perfect spot for visitors to enjoy a traditional treat while soaking in the beauty and history of Polperro.
Since opening in September 2022, after relocating from the Cotswolds our coffee shop has quickly become a favourite with both locals and visitors. However, it’s our cream tea Polperro offering that has become the cornerstone of our menu, thanks to its popularity with visitors. We take great pride in creating a relaxed and welcoming space where you can savour the best of Cornwall’s culinary heritage.
Whether you’re popping in after a walk along the coast path or arranging a group visit, we promise you an experience filled with warmth, charm and delicious food.
Why We’re the Perfect Stop for Visitors
Polperro is a popular stop for tourists, with its winding streets, charming cottages, and breathtaking sea views. After exploring the village or taking a walk along the South West Coast Path, what better way to relax than with a traditional cream tea in a friendly, welcoming setting?
Located on Fore Street, Polperro’s main thorough-fare and just a short walk from the harbour, we’re the ideal place to rest your feet and enjoy a break. We pride ourselves on offering a laid-back, cosy environment where everyone is welcome. Whether you’re visiting solo, as a couple, or as part of a group, our friendly service ensures that everyone feels at home.
We’re passionate about what we do and what we offer, when we opened our doors our mission was to offer the kind food and drink that we enjoy in a setting that we felt comfortable in at a price that we were happy paying and we hoped that other people would feel the same.
Clements Cream Tea - What Can You Expect?
- A warm plain scone (preferred by our customers)
- Rich Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam.
- To complete the experience, enjoy a pot of English breakfast tea (or coffee if you prefer, but tea is the true classic).
The Ultimate Question: Jam or Cream First?
Here in Cornwall, it’s always jam first – anyone caught spreading the cream first may find themselves being thrown off the pier!
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet break, refuelling after a walk or treating friends and family, our cream tea Polperro is sure to delight.

We aim to make your group’s visit to Polperro as smooth as possible. By working closely with tour operators, we ensure that large bookings are handled seamlessly.
In the past, we’ve welcomed a wide range of groups, including French school children, Italian tour groups and other international visitors.
I have tried many cream teas over the years as a tour leader for Italian groups, but this is by far the best one.
The scones were warm, soft and of a generous size. Served with clotted cream and a top quality strawberry jam. Great selection of teas and coffee too. Abby and Jad were excellent hosts, friendly and welcoming.
My group enjoyed the experience thoroughly and had the chance to learn the Jam First Cornish tradition! Thank you, I'll surely be back soon - Silvia.
