Homemade cakes, specialty coffee and the warmest welcome on Bodmin Moor. Run by Andi and Adam, 200 metres from the Cathedral of the Moor — and a coffee van at Trebarwith Strand too.
Everything baked fresh on site — Bakewell blondies, peanut butter brownies, Jammie Dodger blondies, cheese-scone cream teas, pistachio bars, blueberry blondies and whatever Andi's trying out this week. Homemade, counter-fresh, and gone by teatime.
“Gorgeous homemade cakes and the best coffee you'll get for miles around.”
Small-batch, ethically-sourced beans from Olfactory Coffee Roasters in Penryn. Pulled on a British-made Fracino press-lever machine from Birmingham. And a Peugeot Partner van converted by Coffee Latino — gas, battery and electric — for the Trebarwith Strand side of the business.

A proper dog menu on the counter
Dogs aren't tolerated here — they're welcomed. There's a printed dog menu on the counter, home-baked dog treats in the jar, and a gravy bone for every new arrival. Bodmin Moor dog walkers, this is a proper rest stop.

On the Doc Martin trail
200 metres from the Cathedral of the Moor
St Nonna's Church — the Cathedral of the Moor — is a two-minute walk from our door. It's the mother church of Bodmin Moor and the setting for Doc and Louisa's wedding in series 7. We're the nearest cup of tea to the filming location, not the filming location itself.

I'm Andi. Adam's my husband and we run The Coffee Cup between us — I'm behind the counter in Altarnun with a tray of fresh blondies, and Adam's in the pink van at Trebarwith Strand with the Fracino.

“What a lovely little coffee shop! Amazing little place with the best selection of cakes to go with your hot drink. The hot chocolate and Nana's fruit cake being our absolute favourite. Everything is most certainly made with a lot of love!”

“A warm welcome, gorgeous homemade cakes and the best coffee you'll get for miles around. The peanut butter brownies and Bakewell blondies come highly recommended, although there isn't really a 'wrong' choice when it comes to the cake selection.”
