Welcome...
Bread & Butter, an independent Café and Deli in Truro.
Just a short walk from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we serve some of the best coffee, breakfast, brunch, and lunch in Cornwall.
Our deli counter and kitchen feature locally roasted coffee, fresh seasonal salads, sourdough sandwiches, and home-baked cakes — all crafted with care. A highlight for many are our fluffy American pancakes, a favourite with both locals and visitors (booking recommended at weekends).
Our little garden is currently undergoing a transformation, but it will be open again soon — ready for you to enjoy sunny coffees and relaxed lunches outdoors.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed café in Truro for breakfast or brunch, a deli takeaway lunch, or simply great coffee to go, we look forward to welcoming you.

Breakfast and brunch
Forgive the flagrant trumpet-blowing, but it seems people just can't get enough of our fluffy American pancakes.
We think our Origin coffee, home-made frittata and smokey beans aren't bad either.
