My husband and I live nearby and shop in Wadebridge every weekend. At least twice a month we go out for breakfast and try to go somewhere different to support the local businesses. Today (a Saturday at 11:30) it was Mad Hatters. I had wanted to try this place for a while, and when it came it's time, it was closed due to the previous owners illness. When I heard it was being revived by a gentleman named Harry, it was new destination. Wanting to help support a new business owner, we chose breakfast there today. It was a great choice! Harry is super friendly, attentive, even while very busy. He made sure we didn't feel neglected. He explained breakfast was going to be a bit of a wait...it didn't feel that long. I enjoyed my vanilla latte while we waited. My husband had the large Cornish, minus tomatoes and mushrooms. He said it was lovely (not pictured is toast as I took the photo before it arrived). I had a bacon bap with my choice of hashbrown and cheese on mine...I'm quirky, but Harry didn't bat an eye when I ordered it. It was super good and fulfilled my need for bacon, cheese and hashbrown. I love that Harry swooped in and saved someone's dream and made it his. We will definitely be back for lunch and then for drinks.

This fabulous little cafe is a real gem and the best in Wadebridge and surrounding area .Sharon the owner is wonderful, she always greets everyone with a friendly smile and a warm welcome whether you are a regular customer or a holiday maker . The Mad Hatters serves really great coffee , as well as delicious homemade food . The Mackerel pate the speciality of Sharon’s partner Chris is the best I have ever tasted - and I’ve tried a few !! I have been making regular trips to North Cornwall for over 50 years and it’s an absolute delight to have found the Mad Hatters .
