The #1 best business in Plymouth. So rare to find a family run independent where the food is impeccable, service amazing, with an incredible atmosphere. I really couldn't recommend it enough, they also have a restraunt across the road serving into the evening.
Not enough people know about this place for how great it is, so we're always guaranteed a peaceful time in the gorgeous secluded garden. The cafe also sources their produce locally so it's great to know we're supporting various local business' at the same time.
Thanks for an amazing breakfast ! 😋
Breakfast here, the best thing you could ever have; the outside area is so peaceful and relaxing . The coffee is amazing and also have a huge selection on infused teas; you can also buy these to take home. Their cakes are delicious and always fresh. Highly recommended.
Almost cried because the food was so good. The cutest garden ever with a really chilled atmosphere. Staff were so lovely. #smashed the avocado smash. We will definitely be back to try every item on the menu😍😍 Everything is so reasonably priced too!
We loved the food tasty and good portions.
The outside area is nice and Cosy.
Thing on the menu, Can be made vegan if asked.
Brekky is till 12 after that hour you have other options.
Multiple variety of coffees, milkshakes, chocolate and smoothies.
Just back from a fantastic visit to this place. A lovely welcome from all the staff we encountered then offered water while we looked at the menu and a bowl of water and a gravy bone biscuit for the dog. We sat in the garden on the beautiful covered seating. A good selection of cakes to choose from. I highly recommend the coffee and walnut cake. So many different teas to choose from and a savoury menu of lunches that start at noon, plus you can get breakfast too. Will definitely go back again to sample more goodies. Really recommend.
We saw the coffee shop from up in the Elizabethan gardens and had to check it out. My husband and I had a flat white and we got a babycinno for our son.
The service and atmosphere were fantastic and we loved the outdoor seating, which was super comfy and so pretty. Didn't try the food this time as we'd already eaten when we saw this place but will have something to eat next time. Will be making this our regular coffee place from now on!
Found this amazing coffee shop on Google maps before going to Plymouth for a day out from Bodmin. We visited the Mad Merchants Coffee Shop on the 23/09/23 mid morning for a drink and bite to eat.
Looks amazing inside and out. Very trendy place with quirky touches everywhere. Went upstairs to a wacky and cool room. Loved the wallpaper!
Had a Cappuccino, Hot Chocolate and two cake's.
The Cappuccino was probably one of the best I've ever had! Really full of flavour of fresh ground coffee beans. Cakes were delicious and definitely homemade.
Really surprised it came to £13.00 definitely would return when in Plymouth again.
All the staff were super friendly too. Nice to see such a friendly team there.
It's one of those places that if you didn't know it was there would miss it. It's definitely one of my new favourites 👍
Lovely place! We've now visited twice. The first time we had a speciality coffee and today we had coffee and lunch. The quality of food is excellent, well prepared and flavoursome. Service is great and all in all we really enjoyed our lunch. A little gem in Plymouth and one we'll no doubt revisit. Thank you. They even accommodated a food request and to my surprise altered the dish to suit me.
Was really excited to try this place as they have some unusual drinks here such as the beetroot latte and charcoal latte. Me and my partner really enjoyed them in the lovely outdoor seating area. Unfortunately we didn't get to have the shisha this time but we will come back for it when we return.
Plenty vegetarian options, the biggest drinks menu you've seen and polite staff. I think it's made even more special as they're a family business🥰. The building and garden has plenty of character and all food/drinks were all great quality.
The only negative, in my opinion, is that the radio spoils the atmosphere. The theme comes across as steam punk meets dark acadamia. The radio, while I was there, spurred out constant advertisements and some 2010s pop here and there. If they played more atmospheric music, it would really tie the theme together and make the visit more exciting.
