Cafe life is alive and well in Truro…..

Sure, you can visit the chains - and there are plenty of those to chose from, but why not step into one of our independents. Here’s a round up….it’s not exhaustive and keep checking in for updates!

Bread and Butter famed for lush pancakes, pumpkin muffins and great coffee. The atmosphere in here is warm and welcoming, wifi is great and there’s a lovely outside space too for when the weather is dry.

Fig Cafe is upstairs in Lemon Street Market. The food is freshly cooked, there’s always a gluten free alternative and one of Cornwall’s favourite coffee, Origin is served. A great place to meet friends for a spot of shopping too!

Pollen is in one of the newer coffee shops - delicious vegan treat and almost too good to be true chocolate cakes.

108 has become a Truro independent coffee institution. You might see their staff delivering flat whites around town. All the food they serve is made in house and once again, the wifi is great - you’ll find this a great c-office for meetings and catching up on your latest marketing campaign.

You have to try Kaku Chi in St Mary’s Mews, tasty pastries and delightfully colourful bundt cakes.

Lilys is at the top of Pydar Street and has recently been taken over by one of our favourite’s - Punk Thai. It’s eclectic with a BoHo vibe and a great selection of tempting cakes. They’ve got a working space upstairs which is available for event hire.

Try Sabzi Deli for an array of take out treats. Daily dahl, colourful salads and one of Secret Truro’s top tips - Persian Love Cake.

Another newbie to Truro is Loading Bay - expect great Origin coffee, goodies from DaBara and look out for (whisper it) artisan pizza in the future.

The Old Grammar School has a lovely vibe inside and out. Monsoon Coffees and pastries and even a Dry Martini in the afternoon should the need arise!

If you’d like a drink with your lunch (or brunch), try Zafiros. It’s not just a bar, you’ll find great lunch and brunch ideas (I can’t wait to try the Huevos Rancheros!)

Try Lawrances for cake and cocktail. Yes, that’s gorgeous sweet treats AND your favourite tipple, all in gloriously colourful surroundings.

Also try Grounded, Duke Street Deli, The Arts Cafe.
