Bissoe Cafe Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

What a find this place proved to be. The food and coffee were fantastic, served by the most friendly staff Would very much recommend.

Awful smell of fat in the cafe. Veey hot day but no windows open. Took one look at the cakes cooking in the heat and the prices and departed

Sadly this place has gone down hill. This was my favourite place for coffee, cake, breakfasts etc, but since re-opening, post lockdown it has really gone downhill. Prices have gone through the roof (eg. breakfast & a coffee up from £6.95 to £9.45!) Quality down. Just one slice of cheap sliced-bread toast with breakfast, which is served in a scruffy little cardboard box. Where have the plates gone?! Service. The staff are still friendly and smiley, but the service is atrocious (50 minute wait for a breakfast, and no apology). When I last visited, there were several people getting cheesed off with the poor service.

Fantastic location, bike friendly, lovely food and friendly staff. After a few hours in the saddle, calling into the cafe was the best way to round off the day.

I wont lie! We have been visiting the cafe for years!, however recent refurbs have meant they have hit another level,❣ cozy family friendly, great coffee/food, log burner, seating, bike racks and all covid processes in place.🤘 Foods amazing!!sausage baps a firm fav of my sons .. very non nom Soo many trials and roads to explore and venture into Bissoe, whether u drive down, park and walk or ride down and take a break, it's perfect!! Deffo recommend to families and fellow riders.

Perfect pre, mid and post ride stop or for relaxing with friends and family. Great location, really welcoming and delicious cake. Make a point to stop here 🎂😁

Stopped on Sunday whilst on a bike ride and had a lovely hot double espresso to pick me up from the takeaway. Quick service and reasonable price. Great social distancing in place too. As loads of bike racks to use.

It would be hard to think of a better bike cafe than this. Perfect location, great food, ideal surroundings, friendly staff. Also great for walkers and horse riders. Loads of space both indoors and out. And it's the HQ for the Saint Piran cycling team as well so some of that talent might just rub off on us poor amateurs as well!

Perfect location to explore the Bissoe trail, by foot, bike or horse. This has just had a stunning update and refurb giving plenty of outside space and a new lounge area, which is a high spec not something you would usually expect from a cafe, (must be seen). The staff are friendly and helpful, the coffee is amazing and the cakes are just to die for, always Vegan and Gluten free options on drinks and food. This is an ideal location to meet friends for coffee, cake or a mid day snack. Great place for families. Always a favourite place for a walk and coffee stop, to escape the crowds and just enjoy the local tranquility.

Friendly staff, excellent food and drinks menu. Fantastic place to ride or hire a bike, very family orientated with a special cornish welcome for anyone who comes to visit this historic mining trail, so many routes to take that cater for the novice to the professional rider. Home of the Saint Piran professional cycling team.The cafe are up to speed with nutritional requirements ie.Vegartarian/Vegan diets as well as any allergies you have just tell them about your needs and they are happy to help you, the cafe has just undergone a major refurbishment with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating,they even sell their own products under the Saint Piran brand.All in all ten out of ten.

Such a great coffee ,daily special was awesome and totally refurbished with a lounge and log burner . There is also a new outside seating area .

The perfect cycling stop-top staff-top coffee - top cake and the spiritual home of Saint Piran cycling team.

Really smart well layed out space lovely staff and so child friendly easy to get on the cycle trail and offer all the help u need for your day out cycling with the family great day out

Great coffee, cakes and atmosphere. Certainly on the list for every visit to Cornwall. A cycle cafe which more than delivers. Pick up a bargain cycle top as well as relaxing with coffee and cake. Whats not to like.

Had a coffee before going for a bike ride - and another with some fantastic cake afterwards! Very friendly, clean and reasonably priced. Food is fantastic! Definitely worth a visit!

Bissoe Cafe and Bike Hire is set in beautiful surroundings on the Bissoe Cycle Trail just south of Truro in the Carnon Valley. The proprietors are very friendly and helpful, with lots of cycling expertise. The cafe has just undergone a major refurbishment to fit in with Covid guidelines. There is lots of outside seating, as well as comfy setees and a log burner inside for when restrictions allow. Kids and dogs are always welcomed. The cafe sells a delicious variety of cakes including vegan and gluten free, and snacks, salads and hot dishes including vegetarian options are all available along with Saint Piran Coffee and cider from Rattler which are products that support Cornwall's own Saint Piran Procycling teams. A treat not to be missed.

Great place to stop for coffee and cake on a cycle. Very friendly staff! Very clean! Not too pricey :)

Stopped here after a lovely walk with the dogs for some lunch. What a great little place to stop, very welcoming and friendly, prices were very good and the food was amazing. Dog friendly too 🙂 Will be looking forward to coming back

Firstly this is a great place to visit tucked away in the Bissoe Valley half way between Truro and Falmouth. The Cafe was certainly way above average with freshly made sandwiches and piping hot tea and coffee.All the cakes and sandwiches are made on premises. This is a walking and bike riding area there is lots of parking available. If in area well worth a pop in

Visited here whilst on Bissoe bike trail- a welcome oasis! Enjoyed a few snacks and drinks in very clean and comfortable lounge. Very friendly staff- highly recommend

Haven’t been here since the improvements. Just came for a drink with a friend on a walk, 2 hot drinks and they had no change at all! Scrambled around to see what change they could find between them but was still short so I took what they had. Not impressed. Went to the loo no toilet paper! There was loads of staff milling about surely these things could easily be sorted? Tea and coffee were nice at least. They weren’t particularly busy either. Just disappointing.

I stopped off here for some lunch today. The toasted sandwiches with salad are wonderful. The sandwich filling was generous and the salad and coleslaw very tasty. For £5.95 great value. Very friendly staff and ideally situated if cycling the Porthreath to Devoran route.

We were heading to the coast for an afternoon out with the dog. Came across this cafe which caters above all to cyclists (there’s a rental shop next door, and a biking trail right there...)Wonderful site, with delicious cakes, friendly staff and plenty of tables inside and out.We will be back.

My friends and I aged 11-13 set off on a very wet and cold day between Christmas and New Year. We were really enjoying using the trail until I got a puncture which was about to ruin our day. At the cafe the bike repair section was closed, but a nice guy in the cafe kindly showed us how to fix it so we could finish our ride. We enjoyed your awesome hot chocolate from the cafe at the same time. If it wasn't for the kind chap we wouldn't have been able to finish the ride, so thanks mate! We will be back on a sunny day.

We were walking on the cycle route from Deborah to Portreath and came across this great cafe at Bissoe. The coffee is delicious staff are good singers and the bacon butties are to die for!

It was our intention to cycle North to South on the coast to coast trail from Portreath and do lunch at the pub. Instead having reached Devoran though we thought we’d head back up the trail a short way to the Bike Chain cafe at Bissoe which we had passed earlier. This was a strange phenomenon for us as we are always drawn to a pint, however, we were not disappointed by our alternative and it was nice to break a habit. We were welcomed with friendly service, piping hot coffee and delicious cake. Just perfect and gave us the energy and the will to continue on our return leg. All in all we spent a total of 4 hours cycling, seeing the views, eating and drinking - a perfect half day excursion. Make the Bike Chain a stop - it’s fab.

This is a wee gem the potato and leek soup was homemade and flavoursome and the Baker Tom roll was so fresh and warm out of the oven,delish....on the way back we enjoyed a gorgeous cup of coffee and a Tiffin slice which by that stage was well earned...will deffo visit again when we walk on the trail to portreath....

Stupendo, grande servizio, ottimo caffè e belle ragazze. Lo consiglio vivamente anche per la location molto suggestiva ed accogliente! A presto!

Este café está situado en el corazón de la zona minera. Punto de partida ideal para la ruta ciclista a portreth o por una parada del punto en un viaje largo. Este es un café, pero le da todo el mundo ciclismo Aseos y aparcamiento y alquiler de bicicletas. Puede estar muy concurrido los domingos por la mañana, sin embargo, eso no debe desanimarte de como un montón de lugares para sentarse fuera. Muchas tartas y también sano si eso es lo que te gusta. Lugar ideal para familias.

We stopped for breakfast here one morning at 10am wether or not we got them at a bad time I don't know but we waited 45 mins for a cooked breakfast and there didn't seem to be anyone else eating...the plate was swimming in cooking oil which didn't taste ver nice and also they forgot the hash brow n's which arrived 10 minutes later..the bacon was good as we're the sausages but the breakfast e

Mientras Devoran ciclismo Portreath a sendero cruzamos el pasado este café y decidí no parar. A la llegada a Devorans (sólo?) pub decidimos no comer allí, y para detener aquí. Muy buena decisión! Tuvimos muy buen café hecho con amor y habilidad y tortillas increíbles. Eran mucho más grandes de lo esperado y tan bueno - empalagoso en el medio, crujientes por fuera.

Decidí tomar mi niña hoy para un paseo por el sendero que ella ahora Bissoe comenzó a caminar y ha sido un día soleado. Aparcamos en el café y quería tener un picnic rápido, desafortunadamente la primera cafetería estaba cerrado por una remodelación, pero el dueño encantador, Ricci amablemente todavía nos servían bebidas, aunque el café estaba cerrado. No hay muchos lugares que hará esto. Fueron encantadores con mi bebé animado corriendo por la zona exterior e incluso nos ofrecieron sus deberes de niñera. De nuevo abre de nuevo el sábado, volveremos a por otra semana de picnic a pie y al lado.

Great little cafe, reasonable prices and friendly service. Kids loved the little bags of mixed sweets you could buy for the trail. Little cycle shop as well - good for emergency warm gloves.....it was a bit wet & windy!

Así que tuve una entrega para el café y me decidí a sentarse para tomar un café o un bocadillo.

Great little cafe tagged on to a cycle rental facility with tons of cycling memarobilia on the ceiling and walls. Right on the coast to coast trail with plenty of on site parking. Great food offering and very helpful and friendly staff
