Kicking myself that I haven't been to Lily's before! Found my new favourite place in Truro. Walking in, you're hit with a soft smell of coffee and a refreshing blast of lemongrass coming from the kitchen. Our eyes were immediately drawn to the vinyl collection which cover the walls and ceilings and our ears were pleasantly pleased to hear the likes of David Bowie and Elton John. We were welcomed with a smile and immediately felt at ease. Pick a table they said and so we did. In full pig out mode and eyes bigger than our bellies, we opted for the small plates sharing platter. Its one of those where you don't know what to eat next because it's all so delicious and you're flitting between each one trying to work out which one was best! Next I had the Pad Thai which I've eaten many times before but none as good as this one. I liked how Amy put the peanuts and chilli on the side so you can add it to your taste. My partner had the curry of the day which I had a tiny bite of (that's all he would give me) and it was beautiful! The atmosphere was busy and bustling and you could tell they really care about their customers. (Especially overhearing the waiters asking each customer if they had any allergies!). Will definitely be back. Thank you Amy!

Back again and again brilliant experience. Latte and chai lovely taste no bitterness and tea for one was lovely. This time we had something to eat a jacket potato with tuna and onion and a green Thai chicken curry both were very Tasty and hot with plenty in the portions we also had a cupcake which was lovely and moist. Will def be back again service is always friendly and swift can’t fault it and the added extra is being able to take out spaniel Willow in and she loves the treats. Thanks again

We didn’t realise they serve Thai food, so took a punt on their curry if the day, plus Pad Thai and Pad Krao Praw and the sharing platter. Oh my goodness! Some of the freshest, tastiest and authentic Thai food we’ve had. Delicious!

Breakfast was tiny (1 sausage, 1 small slice of bacon etc) but was £10. Ordered a latte and got a tiny cup with milky coffee flavoured froth in (why do places not serve lattes in a latte glass?!) My wife's experience was the same with her food and drink, overall breakfast was more expensive here with one drink than the lunch we had later on in the day with two alcoholic drinks. As others have said the staff seem to like huddling together for a chat rather than serving you. Shame as they are close to where I live but I'll walk past and go to one of the many other lovely cafes in Truro.

It only doesn't get five stars because it's a cafe and not a 'real' restaurant but the food was delicious. I thought it would just be cream teas and snacks but the Thai food was *wonderful*. Very friendly service. About £40 for three of us for lunch including drinks.

Found Lily’s by accident while looking for tea and cake after visiting Gaia and the Wildlife photos @ Truro Cathedral ( which is well worth a visit ). It was pleasantly busy with a very mixed clientele. Breakfast is served, then a Thai menu is available at lunchtime and cakes etc after 3pm. Some customers tucking into Khun Amy’s delicious food, well presented too. We had tea and cake and there was a good selection of cakes and traybakes including low gluten and g/ free. Would definitely return and try the Thai menu as well Note that you pay when you order.

What a lovely find? We’d gone to Truro to wander around the Cathedral, which we did, then had a wander through the streets looking for somewhere to have a drink & maybe some food & found Lily’s, & also saw that dogs were allowed in. What a lovely little colourful cafe. The service was great as to, was the food, even the 4-legged got a biscuit treat, although we did bring that home, it’s now been eaten! We’ll definetly return again when we’re next in Truro.

Visited for breakfast for my wife’s birthday. Food quality-good Food itself was good quality but bacon and beans could of been hotter, was Luke warm. Service- average. Welcome was ok, order taken and paid, food delivered and there was no other interaction. No staff asking if we wanted more food or checking if our food was ok despite there being a sign above the toll area stating it was table service. Allergies please be aware, even despite asking us if we have any allergies- which lucky we didn’t in this establishment. The chef came out to speak to the lady front of house, possibly manager/owner and say she had to cook gluten free sausages and normal sausages- asking was it ok to cook in the same tray with just a bit of foil in the middle and the lady front of house said yes!!! Cross contamination!!!!!! Wouldn’t feel comfortable eating here if I had allergies. Would I come back, most probably not due to the above and the average at best service.

Fabulous find. Visited Truro and struggled for somewhere to grab a family lunch and just at the point of giving up we came across Lilys. A short wait for a table saw us seated and due to the demand we had two tables of two which gave us the opportunity to sit on one table with the kids just across the way on another. The welcome was friendly and relaxed and we instantly felt relaxed. The ambience was comfortable and the decoration, which is best described as eclectic, enhanced the feel of the place. The menu was varied and had enough choice for all of us including two teenagers and a veggie. The food when it came was fresh, well prepared and well presented. The owner runs a really nice place and he himself is really friendly without being I’ve the top. A great host. Can’t recommend this place enough and it’s why we prefer independent restaurants and cafes. Go visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Before I get to my experience at Lily's of Truro, I should point out that I am not a regular visitor to Truro. No. Actually the parking situation tends to put me off. However, my choice of computer sometimes brings me over here to peruse the many offerings of the nearby Apple store. Today was one of these occasions. With my tech perusal complete, it was time for lunch and as luck would have it, Lily's of Truro, is more or less, right next door. What can I say about this place? Well, it has a very warm and cozy vibe; there's definitely a bare wooden theme to be place which is easy on the eye. I shared a chicken wrap with my dear old mum and it was very nice too. Highly recommended.

We've been a few times before but unfortunately, on this occasion, we found the welcome lukewarm at best. The person taking our order seemed disinterested in what we wanted, which may have contributed to an error in our order. As someone who drinks decaf coffee with oat milk, I always check when my drink has arrived to ensure the correct drink has been made as mistakes happen. On this occasion, a mistake had happened, which is fine. The lad bringing my drink took it away in order to replace with the drink I'd ordered. Unfortunately, what followed was a quite surprising customer service experience in which the man taking our original order, who I assume to be the owner, arrived at our table with the till receipt, pointing out that we hadn't ordered what we thought we'd ordered and that if we wanted it correcting, we owed him a further 40p. His tone was officious, not remotely considering the error may have been their's, and in no means going to let the situation go to keep a customer happy, despite the fact we'd just spent the better part of £30 on three sandwiches, two cold drinks, two coffees and a cake. So... forgive me, but not exactly a cheap affair. Taken aback, I gave him the extra, and received my coffee and change (which tbh, I left on the table, perhaps they needed it more than I did, hence the mood.) I appreciate my milk choice is slightly more expensive, but when an error that would cost you less than 40p to ensure your customer remains happy... I'd be inclined to suck it up.

We had a lovely lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. The menu was great and everyone in our group was very happy which included ages 8 to 72, a vegan, vegetarian and someone on weight watchers! The smoothies and soup special (apple, parsnip and ginger) were the biggest hits. We felt cosy and comfortable whilst it poured with rain outside, and left very happy and full!

We stopped by to get out of the rain and were all given a friendly welcome and a good cup of green tea and a flat white coffee. The lovely staff made a fuss of our dog and didn't mind us asking them at length about the local area and what was where. They are worried about the local shopping area being regenerated and the effect that it may have on their business so please pop in and see them. They will greatly appreciate it and you'll have a pleasant visit.

We were made to feel welcome the moment we stepped through the door which we appreciated on a very wet Monday afternoon. Lovely scones with lots of cream and jam, and nice hot coffee. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

This coffee shop offers really good coffee, with a choice of dairy alternatives. The staff are friendly, and the sandwiches are good. An excellent lunch stop, or coffee break.

Lily's has a beautiful interior, helpful staff, and a delicious selection of food and hot drinks. We found it to be a relaxing break in the middle of shopping in Truro

This Cafe is wonderful! We came over from California and I was in desperate need of a coffee and breakfast. We found Lily's of Truro at the top of the high street in Truro. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The cafe stands out with the beautiful coral color on the outside and cool interior colors. The menu was innovative and healthy but had all the standard delious items too. They had the most amazing bakery items. I had a cappuccino which was perfect and quick. Then I had the salmon quiche and it was outstanding. I used the wifi to down load emails and do some quick work. I wish that there was a Lily's in the US.

Excellent coffee, delicious brownie and tiffin and a colourful, healthy well priced salad bowl to ease the conscience.What a find Lily's is. Great cafe with interesting creative space upstairs. I was lucky enough to meet Lily in person...a gorgeous border terrier. Owners friendly, great humour, good service and cool sounds playing in this busy but gorgeous cafe. I will be back!

What a shame our experience was spoiled by an incredibly rude man(owner/manager?) who felt he could tell my young son off for an innocent mistake!(My son was scared/ mortified by this man's abrupt manner.) Children and young families are not made to feel welcome at all. Extremely patronising and arrogant man who spoiled what was otherwise an enjoyable tea/coffee. The service by the young staff was pleasant, but we shall not be returning.

Stopped by today after walking by many times and always saying 'we need to try there' - we will certainly be returning! We settled for just coffee and cake but it was lovely. The cake was delicious and dissappeared in seconds. Also a tasty milkshake made with Cornish ice cream, how could we say no?! Beautiful decor and brilliant staff. Definitely recommend. Annoyed its taken us so long to pay a visit.

Absolutely wonderful visit. The cream tea was the best I think I’ve ever had. Warm scones, huge pot of cream and delicious jam, must be homemade. The tea was piping hot and came with an additional tea bag should you like it strong.

Great place to stop off on our walk. Cakes, drinks and ice cream all good, and with the bonus of sparrows waiting to hop onto your hand.

Absolutely amazing day spent at The Sharksfin for our daughter's wedding last Saturday. Wow! What a venue! From start to finish everything was wonderful. Great service with happy staff who were enjoying looking after us and wanted to make the day special. The canapes were gorgeous and main meal truly excellent. The Chefs worked their socks off. Would highly recommend. Thank you to Lisa and her whole team. You were fantastic! We will be back for a roast very soon 🙂!

Poor service and virtually no vegan/vegetarian options. Asked for a veggie burger which was on the menu, they didn't have any. Asked what else was vegan, they didn't know. Service was very slow and all front of house seemed uninterested and more keen to huddle round the bar chatting. One waitress was particularly rude, I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend. Lots of much friendlier places in Falmouth.
