Fabulous little shop! The staff are brilliant and really know what they are selling ☺ they share their knowledge and advise to help you make good chouces from their soul-soothing selection!
Extremely helpful staff in a lovely quaint little shop. Let us try the cheeses before we bought them. We ended up buying a garlic selection that was probably the best cheese we've ever had! The vegetarian scotch egg was also very yummy and filling. Will return when we're next visiting St.Ives 👍🏼
Gorgeous, quaint, little Delicattessen, brimming with atmosphere and varied, local produce.
The two ladies behind the counter were informative and super friendly and my partner and I were very impressed indeed by the food we ended up buying. A few beautiful smoked cheeses, a local pickle and some Cornish salami. Everything was stunning.
Highly, highly recommended.

A week in Cornwall and trying Cornish Kern was on the wishlist (2018 World Cheese Champion). It's so hard to find. This as explained to me by the chap behind the cheese counter at Rick Steins deli in Padstow. Well if the food king of Cornwall couldn't get any, what chance did I have. Well walking down the street in St Ives this evening I stumbled across this wonderful shop, closed unfortunately, but I saw a lady (who turned out to be Claire the owner) in the window. I tapped the glass, chancing my arm, and asked if she had any Kern. She came to the door and tips me they did have some but they had closed up and steralised the counter now. They didn't have any individual bits cut, but were open at 10am the next day. I explained we were staying in Port Isaac and wouldn't be back. I made my way down the street and suddenly she ran down after me. She said her and her colleague couldn't forgive themselves if I didn't get to taste this wonderful cheese, so opened especially for me, meaning steralising again after I left. I've enjoyed the Kern very much and the brie i bought was excellent too. Cherish this shop if you live near, as a food champion like Claire is a very special thing.
Wonderful staff, great selection of different cheeses cut to any size you want, try the garlic yarg, absolutely fantastic. If you are a cheese lover, it's a must visit.
We'd been hoping a cheese shop would open in St Ives for ages, and we have been blessed with this wonderful shop run with knowledge and passion by the wonderful Claire and Nick. A fabulous addition to Fore street :-)
