The first thing to say about Helston, is that its not that big, but packed full of tourist-focused eatery's. This unfortunately includes the chains, but avoid those and find something local - like Helly's.As opposed to Ruth's bakery which is further up the hill and on the opposite side of the road, Helly's is the modern art cafe done with real Cornwall style. These two outlets are focusing on different parts of the market, and both are great local eattery's - avoid the chains, as there are good local options!Helly's is modern, light, bright decor done with originality, helped on our visit by the still in the east spring morning sunshine. Staff are very friendly, and there is a good choice of seating with table service. The cornish seaside decor is assisted by the art works hung around the walls, which offer you the opportunity to buy at accessible and options above pricing some locally sourced artworks. They clearly do not accept everything, just items of quaity which fit in with the tearoom's overall decor.Coffee is great, and service is with a smile. This isn't bakery, but our light bites - sandwiches, cake - were of good locally sourced quality.Avoid the chain's and find something local and real - Helly's is for those who like light, modern art cafes, with a distinct cornish flavour.

Following a friend's recemmendation, I called here for lunch on a bitterly cold day.On entering the cafe, I was impressed by how light, airy and warm it was, with a log burning stove providing welcome heat, and tables well set out with plenty of room between them. A blackboard behind the counter displayed the day's selection of seasonal lunches. Although there were only three choices of main course, they all looked appetising. I chose the chicken and leek pie, with carrot and beetroot saled, which came with a mint based dressing. This made for a delicious combination, of flavours, but left room fo me to indulge in a dessert. For this, I chose apple crumble with Roskilly's ice cream, which was also very tasty. I rounded my meal off with a pot of tea. The service was very good and the ambience of the cafe made this a very enjoyable experience. I was pleased to see that dogs are welcomed here and I look forward to returning with my family and our dog.Apologies for the slow response, but thank you for your positive feedback, and very glad you enjoyed the experience with us! Look forward to seeing you again.

The title says it all! Amazing breakfast with lots of interesting favours including a wonderful fresh lemon mayonnaise and homemade tomato chutney/sauce. Even if youâre not veggie you have to try this. And the cakes ...mmmmmm....delicious, although after the filling breakfast I had to take it away to eat later.

Monday 17 June 19, In the late afternoon at Mullion Cove, we all went to the âPorthmellin Tea Roomâ, on the quay for afternoon refreshments. We were served by a lovely Cornish Lady, who owned the tea room, which was very pretty and done out in lovely seaside blue and white check. My husband had a pot of tea and I had a cup of coffee and we shared a lovely Cornish clotted cream tea, the scones were really fluffy, moist and warm and the strawberry jam was delicious. Dave had a latte coffee and Jill had a large hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. We spent a lovely hour here gazing out over the harbour and its pretty fishing boats.If you want a nice tearoom by the sea, then this is the place to visit at Mullion Cove.

Fabulous pizzas, excellent ham egg and chips, gorgeous vegan burgers and lovely cakes. The location is great and the signage has improved, although you have to keep your eyes peeled, as the road is winding and there isn't any prior notice. It was very busy with a very large party and other diners, so the food took a while to arrive, but the service was very friendly and take home boxes were readily available for uneaten food.

Visited with family for cream teas at lunchtime. Service was excellent helpful and friendly. There was a wide choice of scones of generous proportions and lots of jam and cream (no need to ask for extra). Quality was excellent including the gluten free scones. tucked away but well worth seeking out.

Our friends, who live locally recommend this and booked a table. This is a necessary task, especially on Sundays.Food was piping hot , served prompty and was in generous portions. It was a bit odd to get a huge doorstep of bread with Cottage pie and sald with fish and chips is remarkable but odd.So be it, good food here

No trip to Porthallow is complete without a visit here. We had very good coffee and delicious pastries but could just have easily ordered a variety of very appealing lunch options.
