The white-stone entrance to The Courtyard surrounded by sunlit plants

A hidden cafe in Looe

The Courtyard

Plant-based food, good coffee and a little Mediterranean calm in the heart of town.

Family-run Fore Street
Looe, Cornwall

A quiet pocket

Step through the stone and slow everything down.

Tucked away from bustling Looe, The Courtyard is an independent family-run cafe with a sheltered Mediterranean-style garden, indoor seating and an old grape vine overhead.

Inside or out

A cafe with garden time built in.

Settle into the planted courtyard or find a calm spot inside. This is a place for colourful plates, loose-leaf tea, good coffee and an unhurried pause between Looe's streets and harbour.

Independent, licensed and open through the year.

Feel-good food

Bright plates. Wholesome ingredients.

The food is plant-based, made with care and shaped by the seasons. Think fresh salads, homemade soups and dahls, brunch and cafe bakes rather than a fixed formula.

Through the seasons

Local ingredients, changing flavours.

The kitchen follows the year with locally sourced ingredients, while barista coffee, loose-leaf tea and delicious drinks keep the table company.
