Great little cafe. We came to St Ives for the day and couldn't get into the busy waterfront cafes. This worked in our favour as we stumbled across this little gem. The atmosphere is really friendly, the staff made sure we were welcome and had a table. The coffee and food were really delicious. The only constructive criticism I could give is that the menu is brunch heavy, would be nice to have a couple of more lunch options. Overall a great little place, recommend you visit next time you're in the area

A new favourite spot. We discovered this place when dog walking in the area. It's dog friendly and the menu is great for two vegetarian friends. Very allergy friendly and they are happy to adapt dishes. We've done lunch and brunch a couple of times now (including on my birthday which shows the place is a hit with me), service is always good and food has never disappointed. The toasted banana bread (pictured) is highly recommended, and the mac and cheese 'bites' are formidable but delicious. Often get a bit of cake from the counter to take home for later.

I shared some Breakfast Halloumi Fries, avocado on toast and Eggs Royale... It was all excellent. Speed of service was good, staff were polite, friendly and helpful and I'd consider it great value for money and not sure you'll find a better quality brunch in St Ives. I can't wait to go back

The little Acre kitchen is pretty busy especially on the weekends so it's heavily advised to book a table or get there early upon opening. We managed to slip in before all the tables were reserved. The menu is based around Vegetarian or meat dishes with a variety of different swap outs for certain aspects of the dish. We are Vegan but the man serving us said they are quite happy to swap around the different aspects of the dish for ones that were more suitable. So we had an amazing vegan Buddah bowl with falafels. Very delicious! The pricing of the food is very reasonable and the portions are also very generous. We left feeling very satisfied. I would suggest maybe a vegan section on the menu as this would certainly help those following that lifestyle to choose quicker and have more options but overall we really enjoyed the meals we both had with was 'Brunch'.

Big, big love for this little place. I’ve been a number of times and it’s always an absolute treat. The menu is to die for (hot damn those sweetcorn fritters hint to Little Acre: any chance of a vegan version?) and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and welcoming. If you find yourself in St. Ives, definitely go there!

Been a few times and always had tasty cakes and good coffee. The place has a nice relaxed feel and well staffed - service has always been good (noticeably better than its local competitors).

We took part in their pop up Christmas shop and had a fantastic evening. The staff were really friendly and they made great cakes and drinks too. A lovely atmosphere.

Lovely food, good atmosphere and reasonable price. Very busy and a bit slow with service but one of the best places to eat in St Ives for sure.
