"Oh dear. Having passed this place many times we decided we might give it a go. It was sunny and so we sat outside. There is very little space between the café’s curtilage and the pavement, enough room to get in four or five picnic type tables, a couple of which had umbrellas. Otherwise, the area is untroubled by any kind of decoration. The form is that you go inside and order and that they bring your order out to you. Inside I was greeted – or more accurately not greeted by an unsmiling lady whose mood may have been occasioned by the inconvenience of having to break off from her conversation to take an order. Or maybe it was caused by the prospect of doing something about the very visible large pile of used plates and crockery waiting for someone to wash them up. Our coffee arrived fairly promptly accompanied by a rather dismal apricot Danish, which may have been seeing daylight for the third or fourth time that week. The coffee was passable, but in a resort town like Bude the bar is set fairly high and passable doesn’t really do it. I don’t know if the place is run by its owners, but in the unlikely event that they are reading this, here are some tips. Put a bit of thought into making the outside more appealing. If you can afford it, put a palm tree in one of the corners or at very least get some greenery. And while you’re about it, junk those picnic tables. Many of the elderly and the disabled can’t use them and anyway you’re not a country pub. And whether the place is run by you or your staff – smile at the customers. They’ve got what you’re after – money. The catch is they’ve got choice too."

"After a very early start to shoot the dawn down at Porthcurno, a photographer buddy and I were in need of coffee and hearty sustenance. So we drove back up the A30 and through Penzance but nothing was open yet. Then, just as it looked like we 'd have to give in and go for Macky D 's, I remembered seeing a small cafe in a car park overlooking Marazion Bay, so we headed that way. When we pulled up at Jordan 's we were greeted with a welcoming smile and some very good coffee. Then, when we asked about their breakfast fayre, we were offered a variety of tempting choices that was rounded off with the chef 's suggestion of what he called his 'Breakfast Burrito '. The proposition of wrapping locally sourced sausages, bacon, and white pudding in with a fried egg, hash brown and fried mushrooms was just too enticing. So we ordered two and oh my word, what a good call this was!.. I won 't bang on about the incredible flavours, textures and aromas because it would take too long, all I will say is that Jordan 's 'Breakfast Burrito ' is quite simply a thing of beauty! If every now and then, you like a deliciously naughty breakfast, please, please, go and experience this culinary revelation for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed and the great thing is there 's a fabulous beach walk right on the doorstep. And my word, after you 've indulged in a Breakfast Burrito, you 're going to need it!"
