01 / The cafe

A bright little corner of St Ives.

Cafe Art sits inside the stone-built Drill Hall, right in the middle of St Ives. Come in for a proper coffee and a homemade slice, then take your time with the pictures, prints and small details that make the room feel like more than a cafe.

The welcome is easy-going, the food is freshly prepared, and there is always something new to notice on the walls.

Tables and the cafe counter inside Cafe Art

Inside The Drill Hall Good coffee, friendly tables, a gallery-like feel.

The hand-drawn board changes with the day. Here is the shape of a visit, without pretending a cafe menu stays still.

Fresh coffee

Americano, cappuccino, espresso, flat white, latte and mocha.

Tea & infusions

English breakfast, Earl Grey, herbal blends and fruit infusions.

Fresh food

Toasties, sandwiches, wraps, salads, soup and plant-friendly choices.

Cakes & cream tea

Homemade cakes, scones and a sweet reason to stay for another cup.

03 / The atmosphere

Part cafe. Part little gallery.

Framed prints, colourful shelves and the old Drill Hall details give Cafe Art a character of its own. It is the kind of place that rewards looking up from your cup.
