Short answer: Caffè Rojano does brunch with long opening hours and copes well with groups; Cherry Blossom Coffee House is the dog-friendly brunch spot with generous cakes — small, so expect a queue in peak season.
Padstow's car parks fill fast in season, and the harbour gets crowded by late morning. Arrive early, park while there's space, and make breakfast the reason you're up — by the time you've eaten, you're already parked with the harbour to yourself. Our summer-morning parking guide has the detail.
The Camel Trail starts from the edge of town — flat, traffic-free and ideal on a full stomach. With kids, crabbing off the harbour wall. Lunch without a reservation is covered in our no-booking guide. More in the Padstow guide.
Breakfast hours shift with the seasons and small cafés sometimes close a day or two a week out of summer — if one place is the whole plan, check before you go. Spotted something we've got wrong? Tell us and we'll fix it.
