Wave House Café

More than a café

Wave House Café opened in 2022 as a non-profit community focused cafe, as part of Wave House Church, with a heart to share the love of God with the people of Newquay and its visitors. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds to enjoy top quality food and drinks in a peaceful atmosphere, whilst giving people the opportunity to build community and potentially explore faith for themselves.

Community Dinner Celebration

We would love you to join us on Friday the 8th of November from 6.30pm as we celebrate the many regular customers, crowdfunding donors, suppliers, friends and the wider Wave House church & community who have supported the cafe mission this year.

It will be a unique evening event held in the cosy cafe space where we invite you to delve into a seasonal 3 course feast by the Wave House chefs, meet and greet with the team and other friendly faces the community on long shared dining tables and get opportunity to get behind our new coffee machine for a behind the scenes tour!

“We stumbled across this gem whilst on the last day of our holiday in Cornwall. I don’t know where to start on how fantastic this cafe was! I was expecting a traditional church cafe from the outside but as soon as you walk in, the decor is modern and clean, spacious and comfortable. There were some toys for the children and a hammock which kept them entertained whilst we were there. The menu wasn’t extensive but it didn’t need to be, the food was really tasty and there was something for all of us. I don’t think I have ever met friendlier staff. I could tell they were all genuinely kind hearted people and nothing was too much trouble. Whilst we were eating we saw a homeless man come in and get a salad without paying, we then saw they had a buy it forward scheme for people who for whatever reason, could not afford to buy food. We thought this was a wonderful idea and went back to the counter to buy a salad forward for someone else. Next time we are in Newquay, we will definitely be going back. They also have a skate ramp inside the church … so cool!!”
