Fifties style but built about 1962. Maybe Donovan and his St Ives Beatnik friends drank Frothy Coffee in here in the Summer of 1963.Wood in bottom RH used to gut and reconstruct it as the FRIENDSHIP CAFE, different style altogether, later the CAFFE PASTA, now being rebuilt after a fire. I had the heart shaped tables and stools in our kitchen for a long time but failed to get the GAGGIA!!The Sunday morning I collected the tables etc. there was Primitive Methodist hymn singing and preaching in the narrow lanes of St Ives....don't know if they still do it
