Harbour-side specialty where the barista weighs doses, purges the grinder between varieties, and knows the sourcing. People travel to St Ives specifically for this.

Four beans on the board, with a barista who can explain each one.

Foundation Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

A working roastery outside St Ives with named single origins and three house blends worth tracking: Halcyon, Pard, and Poderosa. The team advises on grind and brew, which matters when you're buying beans to take home.

Yallah Cafe St Ives★★ Specialty

Yallah roasts for Cornwall and supplies coffee to hotels and cafes across St Ives. The harbour cafe is where to drink it at source, pour over on the menu.

Morya Coffee Shop★ Everyday

A kiosk on the coastal path near the Tate, far enough off the tourist drag that most visitors walk straight past. The locals who've found it call it the best coffee in St Ives.
