The Copper Pan

This place does the best avocado on toast and even better coffee. It has become a regular for me and would highly recommend.

A nice café located at the 2^nd floor of the shopping village, we often visit when we want to have a little rest and bite. Special vintage deco, attentive staff, tasty foods and drinks (the iced salted caramel with Belgium chocolate was amazing!!!)

Never a fantastic sign at a café when the response to the question «What coffees have you got on today?» is «…we have all the coffees. You know, cappuccino, latte, long black…», and yet, there is something quite nice about this café.
At the very least, this appears to be a local favourite, so they must be doing something right. Serving Toby’s Estate (though unsure of which blend), the coffee is not bad. Not burnt and plasticy, the industrial roast is quite drinkable as a mac, though it doesn’t really pop with anything other than chocolate and nuts. On the positive side of things, it was a well made and we’ll presented mac.
The single origin, that after asking the barista directly I found that they have, was fairly bland, and on par with the roast style of the blend. When I asked what the single origin was, I was told «delicious». Seems that while the staff have excellent customer service, fantastic attitudes, they all need a bit more work on their basic coffee knowledge.
The high point was the almond croissant, which was actually quite nice. Not a bad café to visit if you are in the area, but not one to seek out for a great coffee experience.

Sometimes I’m coming through here early so pop in for a a quickie!
This morning I was there at 7.30 opening so thought I’d grab some brekkie. Ordered the Muesli. Wow!!! Crunchy grains and seeds, yoghurt, honey and fresh fruit… and a fun little cocktail umbrella! Tooooo cute! Made me smile!!!
The service here always impresses me. A warm smile goes a long way plus I enjoy the décor here. It’s not what you expect from a café in St Ives Shopping Village! Love it, and happily take on the challenge to return to review more menu items!

I was surprised to find this place on the ground level of St Ives Shopping Village. It is hipster heaven.
I would have given this café 5 stars if they served coffee than Toby’s Estate. I am not a fan all of that coffee bean. Especially as Three Beans is down stairs.
But other than their choice of coffee beans, this café is awesome. Great food and great little desserts. And to top it all off the staff are extremely friendly.
Just a warning, it is extremely crowded and so you might have to get take away or wait for a table.
