This is a café in a setting that supports people with learning disabilities so it has a lovely atmosphere all of it's own. The café part has only recently reopened after closing in lockdown and the new café manager is a great cook and baker and is passionate about the food that she serves. There are lots of drinks on offer including for little ones. Call in for breakfast, lunch, drinks, cakes. Food can also be boxed up for takeaway for local workers. Vegan and gluten free options. Food can even be blended for customers who need it. Dog friendly, disability friendly. The building houses the only Changing spaces toilet in Penzance.

A lovely community cafe and extremely reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere. Great toilets even for disabled. Inclusive setting. Lovely hot chocolates and coffee. Oat milk available for those with allergies or needs, and using a well known brand. Lovely cakes. Will definitely go back for a breakfast. My friend Carole introduced me today to this place and I can't thank her enough. Hidden gem of Penzance. Friendly service too.
