Great place with great coffee and friendly staff. I popped into Francini Cafe De Columbia with already high expectations. These were certainly met. I was greated warmly by a member of staff who happily told me a few details about the range of coffees. I settled for the 'blackeye' a strong coffee made with two shots of espresso and finished at the table with Columbian filter coffee. The aroma of the coffee was amazing and the aesthetic quality the experience was a real bonus. The waitress/barista explained the process of the finishing of the coffee to me at the table (although it seemed obvious it was nice to know they were willing to take the time to help a customer if needed). The coffee was then ready and tasted really good. The decor of the place is lively and colourful. There are also Columbian coffee tree jewellery items for sale. The place was not massively busy when I visited by I can imagine it gets very lively with the quality (and strength) of the coffee. I had a look through the menu while I was drinking my coffee and I look forward to eating there. The menu contained several dishes that you wouldn't find many other places. I can't comment on the quality of the food, but I look forward to trying it.
I will...
Read moreWhat a fantastic place for a coffee ☕ some relaxing Columbian music, free WiFi and a spot to smash out some emails. The decor and colour scheme within is bright and vibrant and just lifts you up, puts a smile on your face 😁
The coffee was really good, and the cakes 🍰 buns looked awesome!
The fresh made pizza 🍕 looked great to and I'll be trying some the next time I get the chance to visit. The menu had loads of things to choose from and it all looked freshly made on site ❤️
The staff were really friendly and the service was sharp / quick!
The communal toilet was clean and tidy and had good access ♿. Also a baby change within for all you mama and papas out there.
Thanks for hosting me 👍☕🤩

Read moreThis cafe only deserves 5 stars! My partner and I ordered arepas. I had pesto, avocado and prawn sweetcorn arepas while he had a nice and simple bacon and egg one. Although the portion may look small to you, it does fill you up!!
Additionally, we ordered a wrap with sausages, tomatoes and cheese. Simple and delicious.
For drinks, we both had the deluxe hot chocolate. It was loaded with marshmallows and m&m's. Yummyyy! Oh yes, you can even swap for other dairy/milk alternatives to go with the drink.
The atmosphere of the restaurant gave me a very tropical feel. Something you'd see in a beach cafe.
Both of us agreed that if Francini were to open in Cornwall, it'll be very popular among both locals...
