Genki Cafe
Located on the picturesque walk down to Trevaunance Cove, Genki Cafe is a vibrant, “hidden gem” that brings a touch of the tropical to St Agnes.
Taking its name from the Japanese word for “happy” or “full of energy,” the cafe is housed in a charming former workshop surrounded by a lush, tranquil garden.
It has earned a reputation for serving some of the most colourful and health-conscious food in North Cornwall, providing a peaceful sanctuary for surfers, walkers, and locals looking to refuel in a beautiful outdoor setting.
