This was one of the highlights of our holiday in Falmouth. We visited twice and found an oasis of calm and style. Apart from the glorious gin collection, the wonderful tapas and cakes to die for, the ambiance was just perfect. The best way to spend a relaxing evening in Falmouth is at one of the window tables, a glass of G & T and watch the world go by....

Imagine going to a grown up tea party, where they serve Hendricks and tonic in a tea pot with a ice cube of puréed cucumber. It's the Mad Hatter, no doubt! A delightful experience.

While on a holiday to Falmouth my wife and I decided to have a cream tea . We were recommended Dollys Tea Room. We found it above a bookshop on the High Steet, when we entered the tea room we were very surprised at the decor and music which was set around the 1920s/30s. The ambience was very chic with old none matching wooden tables and old fashioned school chairs. The young waitress was lovey and polite and explained the menu effortlessly, bringing us cream teas with none matching crockery which fitted the establishments theme perfectly. Not forgetting Hebe the dog who is always around to mop up the crumbs. Please don't miss out on this little gem of a place you will be sorry if you do.

Fantastic little place, a few stairs to the top, but the place has such character and the staff are so helpfully with their knowledge.
Definitely recommend to nip in and try a few gins

Hidden at the top of some bouncy stairs off the main street , this hidden gem is well worth a visit.The decour is beautifully vintage in style with 1940s era music gently piping throughout to give a great atmosphere.staff were friendly and chatty which made you felt welcome.we had afternoon tea and cakes so were sat in the front room overlooking the main street.The prices are very reasonable. We had chocolate brownies,poppy and lemon cake, local ale and a sloe gin.All was delicious and best cake i've had all week on holiday.gin was aramatic and nicely presented in a monster of a glass...great! Thoroughly recommend.

Don't be put off by the little entrance from the street - upstairs is a quaint little haven from the world. We went early evening for a drop of Dolly's speciality 'gin' and stayed for the evening. We had G&T for two served in a china teapot and cups - great fun. Then had the tapas - lamb tagine, side salad and a whole Camembert with lovely fresh bread. Food was very tasty and good value.
Hebe Dog (with her pearls on, of course) joined us and was a wonderfully gentle and attentive hostess!! Couldn't manage dessert so took time to choose from the extensive gin list and ordered two more - served in huge goblets with ice and garnishes. Great flavours and gave it all a great sense of occasion. Really enjoyed the whole evening. Wish we lived locally as I could see us becoming regulars!!

The tapas and mezze selections are a wonderful accompaniment too.
Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Looking for a tearoom in Falmouth we noticed a sign for Dolly's so decided to try. Its upstairs in an old Georgian building and the main tearoom is very cosy with vintage/antique furniture. We ordered 3 cream teas and one coffee and cake and all were absolutely delicious. The cream tea consisted of one large, warm scone and more jam and clotted cream than you need (unlike some places where you get a tiny pot of each) and a pot of tea this was £4.00, my partner had a slice of orange and carrot cake that was also served warm. Their cakes/scones were top quality and whilst the selection was small those we tried were light and moist. The staff were pleasant and attentive enough. They also welcomed dogs into the tearoom (which may put some off) as they have their own Labrador (wonderfully adorned with a pearl necklace) who visits the customers. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and would recommend, not the cheapest cream tea £18 for 4 of us, but certainly memorable.

Very dry scones and very small portions of both jam and cream. The waiter asked if everything was okay and when we said that the scones were stale and very dry, he was not at all interested. No apology or offer of a refund. Just nothing. Why did he even ask !
