Vegan afternoon tea - Edit
Be sure to try the vegan cream tea. They have a big menu that all looks great - the chick’n biscuit and fried ‘fish’ (banana blossom) bap are also do-not-miss. Gorgeous vegan cakes too, and a lovely welcoming atmosphere.

Delicious food and lovely staff - Edit
There is such a welcoming atmosphere here and all the food we tried was top quality. Most realistic fish substitute I’ve ever had! All their cakes are gorgeous too with really unique flavours. So worth a visit if you’re in Truro.

Wowowowwow one of my fave vegan cafe experiences, and believe me I've been to a few😄amazing cream teas, an awesome seitan sandwich and buffalo "chicken" pieces. The service was fab, really friendly and lots of interesting vegan related literature. If I lived anyway near here I'd be making return trips on the reg! Will definitely visit when I'm next in Cornwall. You won't regret coming

Completely vegan menu with some imaginative items. We had a different salad dish each, both of which were hearty and extremely tasty. They also do a lovely vegan cream tea.

Amazing! - Edit
After a week camping we headed here for an early lunch on the way home and I am so glad we did! We had the ‘fish’ and chips, and I had a hot chocolate that might be the best one I’ve had since becoming vegan almost two years ago! We also got scones and cake to take away, everything was delicious! The staff were so friendly and they made our dog so welcome! He got his own bowl of water and bag of vegan treats! He’s a recent rescue who doesn’t always love new people but was definitely made to feel at home here. Thank you guys!

Cream tea is back on my menu! - Edit
The Cornish Vegan is one of my favourite places to eat in Cornwall. The menu is not huge, but the selection is good, well prepared and very tasty. Good selection of cakes (also available to take out) and the cream tea alone is well worth making a special trip! Lovely staff and very dog friendly, even providing vegan dog treats (they got a big thumbs up from my Roxy!). They have won a few tourism awards this last year, which are very much deserved.

Perfect Unplanned Lunch - Edit
We were recently on holiday in Cornwall and had popped to Truro to visit the Quintessential shop a few doors down. Being surprised to see an all vegan café in this little city we decided to go in and buy a cake to take home. However, when we went inside and saw all of the lovely cakes and read the delicious sounding menu we knew we had to stay for lunch. It was warm so we sat outside, the garden was small and pretty. The food was all so tasty and clearly home cooked. The menu had lots of different options and the services was excellent. We had the soup of the day and a cream tea. Both were fantastic, along with our hot drinks. The prices were very reasonable. We look forward to returning next time we visit Cornwall.

Not bad - Edit
We were a bit disappointed because when we went there they only had sweet options. We went in the morning at about 10.30 so maybe they have more savory options at lunch. We prefer more savory breakfasts but we had some really nice cakes( the chocolate and caramel one was really good)
Read morePros: Friendly staff , Lots of vegan cakes
Cons: No savory options

Hiya, so sorry you weren't happy with our offerings when you visited. As we clearly indicate on our door, menu and website, we only offer lunch from 11am-3pm, but offer cakes and cream teas all day. Perhaps next time you can come during lunch and try one of our many savory options.

Excellent - Edit
We had lunch here today. The cafe is very pleasant inside, with a bright airy and warm feel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Read moreThe food we ate was very, very good. The vegan fish and chips was excellent. It was easily the best vegan fish my partner has had and the chips were the best I have had, if not ever, then for a longtime.
I had cheesecake for pud which was very nice and my partner had a large slice of, I think, raspberry and rose cake which was delicious.
We will remember our meal here for a very long time. As others have said, it is a shame we live such a long way from Truro!
Pros: Many inviting options to choose from., Great display of lovely looking cakes.
Cons: Can't think of any.

Wow, wow, wow! - Edit
Super friendly service, and quick service too! I had the spicy chicken pieces to start (which were gorgeous, but not for the faint of heart!), and then the lentil and walnut burger (absolutely incredible, like nut roast/stuffing). For desert I had not just two slices of cake (salted caramel, and lemon and raspberry), but I also shared the cream tea. As a vegan of six years, I hadn't had a cream tea in what felt like forever! I wasn't disappointed, the scones were decadent and the coconut cream was gorgeous. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Everything I Hoped It Would Be - Edit
I have been wanting to visit The Cornish Vegan for a year now and finally got my chance on holiday in the area. It is such a magical place! The staff are so friendly and brought our a water bowl and dog treats for our dog (dogs are allowed inside). The menu is extensive and I could come back time and time again having something different each time. The food is amazing and they even have a range of vegan cakes which all looked so tasty. I had the Rose and Raspberry cake and it was amazing.
