Box & Barber

The pared-back, white decor at Box & Barber delivers the ultimate beach vibes every day of the week. This coastal cafe in Newquay focuses on using organic, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, and serves up an all day menu to feed everyone from the early risers to those after a chilled lunch. All food is served under a brunch menu, and covers both savoury and sweet options. Expect options such as breakie wraps with anything from chorizo and refried beans to tofu and hash, as well as a selection of baps with a variety of fillings. For something sweet, guests can enjoy a pancake stack with blueberry lemon compote, banana, vanilla creme fraiche, toasted almond flakes & maple syrup.
For those who want to pop in at lunchtime but want something with slightly less of a breakfast vibe, there are options such as halloumi salad, with options for additions like hash and poached eggs. As well as this, there are toasties that are served on sourdough bread and change on a regular basis. Each morning, baked goods are delivered by local bakeries as both an opportunity to introduce customers to delicious food, and to support businesses in the area.
This sustainable ethos doesn’t stop at food however, as the drinks list is also in keeping with this - expect plenty of natural wines and craft beers from small and independent producers.
Box & Barber is more than just a cafe to stop by for some tasty food, as it’s also gained a reputation for its friendly service that makes it a perfect place to visit with the family (the WHOLE family, as it’s dog friendly too). Plus, sandy feet and paws are welcome, so there’s no better place for some respite after a morning on the beach.
