Cowslip Cafe is a lovely farm cafe in Cornwall that offers a chance to unwind and enjoy the scenery. With rolling hills and a clear view of the surrounding country side. The cafe itself has a calming atmosphere. Whether you choose a seat indoors or on the terrace, it's a great place to relax and take in the fresh air. The menu isn't huge, but it focuses on fresh local ingredients. We tried the scones, which were delicious and perfect with a cup of locally produced Tea. The prices are fair for the quality, with options to suit most budgets. A big plus for Cowslip Cafe is their commitment to sourcing ingredients locally. We really enjoyed the locally made carbonated drinks and in particular; the ginger ale. Overall, Cowslip Café is a great choice for a casual lunch or coffee break with a beautiful view. The food is good, the atmosphere is relaxing, and it's a lovely way to support local Suppliers.

We just had lunch here sitting out in the field with our 2 children. All the staff we encountered were absolutely lovely. The food was divine. The beetroot and Feta quiche was the best we've had in a long time and the cheese scone plate also delicious. Good portion sizes for a reasonable price. We will absolutely be back when passing through the area.

A wonderful experience. Everything about it wonderful. Beware of sat navs that like to send you off down single track roads; easy to find from Launceston itself. And clearly signposted. Will be going again!!
