I understand that cafes and restaurants are facing challenges due to rising costs and staffing issues, so I do not take writing this review lightly. We have always enjoyed the coffee at The Living Room and found the food to be consistently good, though not exceptional, but reasonably priced. Unfortunately, during our last visit, the coffee was disappointing and the food arrived cold. It appeared that there were new staff in the kitchen and a new barista. Hopefully these were just initial issues that will be resolved over time. I sympathize with the difficulties small business owners are facing and will likely try a different cafe next time we are in St Ives. However, we may give The Living R...
My husband and I decided to have lunch at this restaurant based on the positive reviews, but it turned out to be a big mistake. Despite the seemingly ample staff, no one came to take our orders and my husband had to flag down a waiter for help. My glass of rose was served unchilled and lacking in flavor, so I had to add ice cubes from my water glass to make it more palatable. My lunch order was mediocre at best, and my companion only ate half of her meal. The restaurant was quite busy, so perhaps we were just unlucky.
One of the best if not the best cafe in St Ives. Conveniently located at the main entrance to St Ives shopping village the Living Room offers indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is excellent for larger groups or coffee after gym. Service is top notch and if you become a regular they basically have your order ready soon free arriving. Great menu, licensed. My go to is the raw salmon poke bowl. Totally delicious!!!!
Note this venue is open for Thurs nights but no others, made that mistake when trying to book for a Friday night. Lunch on Saturday was our compromise and we some milk shakes and burgers which we went over some issues we had to discuss. The place was 80% full and the staff handled the flow well. Located inside the St Ives shopping centre near a door and car parking outside. A good choice

Late breakfast before Saturday grocery shopping at St Ives Shopping Centre. The Breakfast stacks were great value compared to other cafes. Fresh juice was a great combo, good coffee and overall good value with friendly staff. Ham Cheese toasted on Turkish bread was very fresh. Stack was excellent although would specify how I want eggs next visit.
Absolutely the best breakfast in St Ives. The coffee is always fab, and the corn fritters are my favourite. No where else in the world does them better! Service is always friendly, and I always have to have a vanilla slice to take away as they are truly delicious.
Gradually working our way through the various cafes in the centre and this the next one. Well as the title says coffee and a delicious slice of frangipane with a custard filling very nice , coffee as is, prompt courteous service very good. Try it out.
I have visited this restaurant several times and the food is excellent. However, the service can be inconsistent. On one occasion, we had to wait 15 minutes to place our order while others who arrived after us were served immediately.

Situated in St Ives Shopping Village. Love the food here, particularly the specials. Very friendly staff, excellent menu! Try the raw salmon poke bowl, sweet potato chips or the souvlaki lamb skewers.
I ate dinner here early this week to celebrate a birthday. The food is tasty, fresh and delicious and the service was friendly.
