Our response to Covid-19
The Tearoom is accredited under the 'We're Good to Go scheme'.
A contactless sanitiser dispenser and individual table sanitisers are present for all customers in the Tearoom.
The adult staff will continue to wear face masks and all staff wear gloves to ensure the health and safety of all customers in the Tearoom.
A warm welcome awaits you
Due to the current social distancing measures, we have had to reduce our tables significantly - effective 1 September 2021 we are no longer taking advance table bookings and will have a 'walk in' service only.
We do ask all customers to be patient during busy periods as there may be a wait to get a table.
Multi award winning - Cornwall & SW England Tourism Awards
Our Homemade Scones and Cream Teas are available to be delivered throughout the UK
** These are currently suspended whilst we are on our WINTER break, they can be reordered once we return from 31/01/23**
Our scones are so popular we are able to deliver them to you via our 'Cornish Tins' , priced from £25.00 - these are dispatched within hours of the scones being baked and can be posted via Royal Mail Special Delivery to any address in Mainland UK plus Scottish Islands - during the current Covid 19 pandemic, they are aiming to deliver next day however it cannot be guaranteed and it could take an additional day so please bear that in mind if ordering for a special occasion.
They are available in Plain, Fruit (Sultana) and Gluten Free sets.
You are able to order a mixed set which includes one plain and one fruit scone.
For the sweet sets, the Clotted Cream is dispatched frozen so takes 24hrs to defrost so it will be ready to be used once the tin arrives with the recipient.
If you require any details on ordering and prices please contact us at hello@teacuptearoom.com.
Dedicated to local, quality produce
Husband and Wife team David & Lis pride ourselves on providing organic, fair trade tea and coffee. This includes us offering over 50 different types of Teas and Infusions including the locally grown 'Tregothnan' tea in addition to 3 different blends of coffee including one specifically roasted for us locally by 'Mevagissey Coffee'
We actively work with local suppliers to source the freshest ingredients that showcase the best of Cornwall and where possible originate from the stunning surroundings of Mevagissey which itself is within Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Gift Vouchers are available

Life is too short to not eat cake
We serve a selection of beverages along with traditional Cornish Cream Tea’s of scones, clotted cream and local preserves and a selection of cakes or desserts. We believe in offering our customers choice so you will always have the option to choose which preserves you would like and whether you would like plain or fruit scones served.
We try and cater for all dietary requirements at no extra cost
We aim to meet the needs or our customers by offering gluten free, dairy free and nut free and vegan options and your Tea or Coffee is always available with your choice of preferred milk including non-dairy at no extra charge.
We serve our Deluxe Vegan Hot Chocolates with vegan marshmallows, non dairy cream to make it extra special.
We also bake our scones daily at 6am and they include gluten free, dairy free and vegan options but they do sell out fast so if you are planning on visiting drop us a line at least 24hrs but ideally 48hrs in advance to pre order and pre-pay for some and we can always make sure we have plenty baked for you.
Our range of freshly made baps are also available on gluten free rolls and can be served with dairy free spread as well as our sandwich selection containing several vegan and vegetarian filling options.
We are Award Winning in Cornwall
In the short time the Tearoom has been open we have been Gold winners twice, Silver winners once, Bronze winners twice, and finalist in six Industry and Tourism Awards including 'Best Café/Tearoom' , 'Best New Business' and 'Most Dog Friendly Business'.
We have recently won four awards in The Cornwall Tourism Awards for 'Best Café/Tearoom' and 'Most Dog Friendly Business' for 2019/2020 and 2020/2021.
We are Award Winning in South West England
In February 2020 we represented Cornwall in the South West England Tourism Excellence Awards for 'Dog Friendly Business' where we won the Silver Award and also in received the Commended Honour for 'Best Café/Tearoom' in the South West.
We are currently in the finals for the South West England Tourism Excellence Awards for 'Best Café/Tearoom' for 2020/2021.
Do we deliver?
Given the current restrictions in place, we are no longer able to offer local deliveries of our cream teas - we will always be happy to arrange items for you to collect if you can give us a minimum of 24hrs but ideally 48hrs notice for cream tea collections as the demand remains very high for them.
The tearoom sells out of our cream teas very quickly so we ask that during the very busy months of March - October if you require any for collection, you contact us 48hrs in advance by sending and an email to us at hello@teacuptearoom.com so we can invoice you via email and then once paid we will have them waiting for you the following day baked fresh.
We sell everything you need for your own tea party
All the tea that is served within the Tearoom is available for sale along with our own blend of Coffee. We also have a large range of teaware including teapots, cups and saucers and hand made tea cosies. Our range changes frequently so if there is anything you would like just email us at hello@teacuptearoom.com.
We are also delighted to stock products by Rice DK which includes cake slicers, cake stands and funky picnicware.
