About this business

Wavecrest Café is a charming spot perched at Lizard Point, the most southerly tip of mainland Britain, offering sweeping panoramic views of the sea. It’s perfectly placed right by the start of the coastal path to Kynance Cove, making it an ideal rest stop for walkers, families, and anyone eager to soak up Cornwall’s stunning coastal atmosphere. Inside, the vibe is warm and welcoming, with plenty of seating, free superfast Wi-Fi, and a dog-friendly policy for well-behaved pups tagging along. Whether you’re popping in for a fresh coffee or looking to enjoy classic Cornish dishes, Wavecrest gives you an authentic taste of local life and produce in a relaxed and unspoiled setting.

The menu is a delightful mix of traditional Cornish fare and modern options, with something for everyone including gluten-free and vegan choices, all made fresh to order using seasonal, local ingredients. You can indulge in homemade scones, cakes, creamy Cornish ice cream, or sip on their Italian coffee blend, speciality teas, or indulgent hot chocolate. They also serve a famous Wavecrest milkshake that’s a real treat. Fully licensed, they offer a wide selection of drinks and tasty bites any time from breakfast through to late afternoon, making it perfect for casual catch-ups or a peaceful pause after exploring the rugged beauty of Cornwall’s coastline.
