Used to be a regular when we lived in looe. Lovely place on the quay. Great food with vegan options. Often prepared to make something off menu. Sometimes busy but that tells you everything.

While on holiday we visited The Lookout three times (couldn’t stay away)! We had tasty breakfasts, coffees and cakes, and in such a lovely, laidback setting. Had a nice long chat with the owner and all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and clearly make themselves a part of the local community! We have three dogs and we were welcome to sit inside or outside :) what a jolly welcome, we’ll be back next year!! Thanks so much

We came to the lookout for a traditional Cornish cream tea whilst on holiday. I ordered a cream tea with a pot of tea and my Husband asked if he could have Nutella instead of butter with a hot chocolate. The lady behind the counter said she had never been asked that before but was happy to accommodate my awkward husband. He said the hot chocolate was one of the best he had had. Thank you.

Lovely café with an amazing view of the area… the kid serving us was extremely polite; I think it is a family run café…. Lovely service, happy people, nice vibe, lovely views and the scone was delicious! Freshly baked…. We heartedly recommend and we will be back for more! ;-)

A lovely little find along the Looe quay. I visited with family and it was a very pleasant experience - the lady serving us was so welcoming and friendly and deserves to be recognised for her kind manner. Appreciated the decor and the amusing quotes/signs dotted around.

Proper bacon butty! No messing around, bacon, thought slices on bread and a bit of butter! Perfect. We overheard the guy who was serving everyone selling some Hevva cake to the next table, by the time he had finished the whole place wanted some fresh out of the oven. It was delicious the first time weve tried it and glad we did. Coffee was good too. We recommend this place. R and R x

Stopped here for a little bite to eat. Lovely ran cafe along the front of Looe, brilliant service with friendly staff. We all went for a scone, which to be honest, was probably one of the best scones we've had, and the prices were good too compared to other places! Everyone enjoyed their coffees as well! *this is regarding the cafe, and not the rooms
