Only had tea but also enjoyed conversations with patrons and the owner. Great startup only 3 months old as of Aug2025. Owner is very friendly and a kind person. We will be back. Next time I might try one of the Indian deserts... Their menu has a number of good choices ranging from pancakes to sandwiches. Some Indian food as well. The couple who own it are versed and trained in culinary arts. They also do High Teas.

Stopped in at this amazing cafe while on a road trip. I’m so jealous of those who get to get to frequent this amazing establishment on the regular! Food was super tasty and drinks were expertly made. I’m picky with my matcha and this was easily a 10/10.

I had a lovely experience at Craftman's Cafe. The place has a warm and inviting vibe, with comfortable seating and nice decor. The staff were polite and service was efficient. The coffee is excellent - rich, fresh, and expertly brewed. Their food menu is also impressive, especially the sandwiches and desserts- fresh ingredients and great flavors. Service is quick, the portions are just right, and the quality is consistent. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or a long catch-up with friends, this place never disappoints.

This adorable café serves sweets, eats and delightful drinks. I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich; it was delicious and exactly what I was looking forward to. Compliments to the chef! The staff was super friendly and helpful making the menu easy to navigate and suggesting perfect pairings. Charming and beautifully decorated, looks like a thoughtfully designed café. Perfect addition to Cornwall :)

What a find! Such a lovely, relaxing experience. We were welcomed warmly by the owners who helped us make great choices for our snack. Lots of fresh flavours packed into the dishes. Loved the touch of anise in the samosa sauce. The heat in the Aloo Chana Chaat was perfect given I like just a hint of heat. My photos don't do the food justice! The place is bright with lots of windows and a view of the church across the street. Stylish new decor. Very reasonable prices.
