About
Woods Cafe is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Cardinham Woods, Bodmin, Cornwall. This family‑run, independent café offers a small but thoughtfully curated menu of freshly‑made sandwiches, soups, scones, and a selection of sweet and savoury pastries, all prepared with local ingredients. Open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., food is served until 3:30 p.m. with takeaway available after that time. The café boasts generous outdoor seating for summer afternoons, a cozy indoor space, and a welcoming log‑fire in the winter. Dogs are encouraged, and the café also provides highchairs for children. With vegan and gluten‑free options available, Woods Cafe caters to a wide range of dietary preferences while serving a signature Yallah coffee that pairs perfectly with a warm scone and clotted cream. The relaxed atmosphere, fresh homemade treats, and the breathtaking woodland setting make it a top stop for travelers and locals alike.
