"Highly recommended. Tons of choice of vegan and gluten free. Proper love on a plate stuff. Lovely outside space too. We went twice in 2 days, once for lunch and another time for tea and cake 🎂."

"This cafe is such a joy! An incredible selection of food and really lovely staff. We ate here three days in a row and were never disappointed. Packed full of flavour with exciting salad options. Best kind of food in a welcoming setting. We need a Rainbows End in Cornwall 💗"
