If you have time for only one cafe stop in Truro, make it this. It's central for most things yet feels quaintly tucked away. It's very easy to find, yards from the main thoroughfares and prob. only feet from Shoppers' Car Park.
If you didn't think you had time to 'do' Truro, even, s pit stop here is so easy. Shoppers' Car Park (which council run, drive up, push button, take care, don't lose card, easy pay machine with contactless) you can be back on the A39 in much less than 5 mins. Look for Halfords to come into Truro and the cathedral spires guide you to the first legal left turn.
If to truly don't have time to stop you'll still the Trafalfar Rounabout. Famous giant hedgehogs, see, an attraction in itself. Drive round and round, the kids will love it.
On foot from Shoppers', or any car park, to Grounded, this 5* establishment you'll take in the living and historic modern Capital of Truro easily. Grounded isn't huge but it's exactly as friendly as you want, inc. family friendly, can do attitude. Very very popular with locals.
On the other hand, if you're after a regular spot near work or home, don't consider...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI can't believe I've been living in Truro for such a long time and I wasn't aware of this little gem.
The food is amazing, the prices are appropriate and the owners are lovely.
I requested an extra egg for the Cornish breakfast but the regular plate is huuuge anyway so I ended up not eating it.
The coffee was nice and actually hot(not lukewarm as other cafes).
The sandwiches were bomb as well. The orange juice was very tasty.
I brought three of my friends with me and although we were a bit louder than the average customer(latin blood sorry) the owners and atmosphere was fantastic. They accommodated our requests with a smile on their face.
Love it, I'll be having my weekend brunches there from now on. The only regret I have is I didn't take pictures of the...
