As you may imagine, there is much to feast your eyes on in the window of Stein's Patisserie in Padstow..
Some quite extraordinary things .. giant meringue filled with fresh raspberries and lemon curd anyone?? We passed on by in order to visit the Cherry Trees cafe on the harbour to sample a breakfast dish..
Freshly made fluffy pancakes with yogurt, fresh strawberries and a generous pouring of maple syrup..not yet applied in the picture. It is worth noting that this is a half portion (!).
Not everywhere that we visited was quite so exotic - Theo made his first visit to a Little Chef (this one with views of Dartmoor, at Sourton Cross'.
In St Ives, David and I often visit the Porthminster Beach Cafe and we are fans of their 'deconstructed' desserts.
This one is a Pimm's Salad, complete with cucumber sorbet, strawberry sherbet, mint leaves, fizzy lemonade and Pimm's jelly!
This one featured roasted pineapple, coconut ice-cream and mango mousse..
(Oh yes and we may have sampled the odd pasty, cream tea, fish & chips etc... the diet starts right now!!)
All looks very delicious but I am afraid I don't approve of yet another risk Stein establishment
