About Shiva

Newquay's Yoga, Pilates, & Health Café Experience

Shiva is a health-inspired café, with a yoga & Pilates studio run by Chloe & Jimmy which was inspired by their love of travel, obsession with good coffee, fresh food and passion for yoga & surfing. After years of living & working in India, the dream of creating a similar vibe in Newquay became a reality in 2020.

The Café

Shiva serves an all-day brunch menu, a special salad of the day and gorgeous pastries from Da Bara. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are also readily available so there is something for everyone. To complement their brunch menu they also serve an eclectic drinks menu from freshly made smoothies to chai lattes and everything in between. For anyone with a green thumb, the used coffee grounds are available outside every day to take back and nourish your compost. A stocked bar of spirits and other alcoholic beverages is also available for those wishing to indulge.
