From the sea breeze of Cornwall’s seaside towns, to the sights, scents and sounds of the countryside, our furry friends absolutely love a Cornish adventure. To help humans keep energy levels topped up, we've handpicked just a few of our favourite dog-friendly cafés – just the ticket for a pooch-friendly pitstop, where dogs can take a quick nap while humans grab a bite to eat and a much-needed coffee!
