The culinary offerings at Pebbles are a delightful triumph. While the specific menu items were not detailed, patrons rave about delicious options that are both affordable and comforting. Notable mentions include the lovely rock bun and saffron bun, which pair perfectly with the cafe's freshly brewed tea. When Jacqui Quaintmere enjoyed her saffron bun alongside a cuppa while watching the sea, she found bliss, a testament to the perfect symbiosis of food and setting.

The cafe is more than just a pitstop for refreshments; it is a creative hub filled with local crafts. Art enthusiasts will find a plethora of unique, handmade items that serve as perfect souvenirs or gifts. Customer Meg Green couldn’t resist purchasing one of Jayne’s beautifully crafted knitted hats, emphasizing the high-quality workmanship and vibrant colors on display. This makes Pebbles not just a cafe, but a local treasure where art and community converge.

The friendly owner, Jayne, denoted as “lovely and talented” by visitors, adds a personal touch that warms every visitor's experience. The inviting atmosphere encourages conversation, and customers have described the local community as friendly and welcoming, enhancing your visit with a sense of belonging. Ingrid Mann, a loyal visitor for over 30 years, captures this spirit when she refers to Pebbles as her favorite little hideaway in Cornwall.

Absolutely brilliant, tiny cafe with the best view in the world for a cup of tea. Can’t believe the three star review, just check the opening times but from Easter you should be fine. Yes the roads are small but it’s a tiny Cornish fishing village not the M5. It’s magical and memorable for all the right reasons
