"Smorgers is the best place in St. Austell to have just a coffee or a full bistro type meal. The staff are efficient and friendly and the atmosphere is great. It is clean and they have 5 star toilets which I think is always a sing of a well run establishment."

"Surprised at the rating here as our food was very disappointing, the pizza had a very soggy bottom and tasted like a supermarket cheese and tomato pizza with added cheese. The po boy wrap was reasonable but tasteless. Overall pretty disappointing. It is however nice inside and has a good feel to it."
