A well-rated neighbourhood cafe, The Cake Cafe sits on Steyne Ave in Camborne, Plimmerton, and holds a 4.4 Google rating from customers.
A good cafe lives or dies by two things: the coffee and the cabinet. Places that bake on site tend to see the best slices gone by late morning, which is why regulars turn up early and judge a cafe by whether the cabinet gets refreshed through the day. In seaside suburbs, weekend mornings bring walkers and swimmers in off the coastal path, so a short wait is normal and takeaway is often quicker than holding out for a table. For anyone new to an area, the cafe that is full of locals is usually the safest bet.
Tucked into beachside Camborne, The Cake Cafe is the kind of stop Plimmerton locals like to keep to themselves.
