Market Hall - Community Cafe in Plymouth

I do like this place. Quiet, comfy, tranquil, friendly, peaceful, bright & spacious. The limited food is good, (when it's available) and they do serve the best Carrot & Coriander Soup. (Sadly, on 3 of our recent visits, they either had an electrical fault or been really busy so no food at 1.30pm - couldn't be helped I suppose.)

I came with my young grandsons to the dome to watch an immersive dinosaur experience. It was great, they loved it. Not very long but enough when you’re 3 and 4. Good value and great coffee for grandma afterwards!

We attended the immersive done, which is most definitely a must visit. It is different, educational, exciting and the bean bags were a super idea. We loved our experience here.

Not a lot of choice but I had a chickpea salad and Americano both excellent, filling and good price. Lovely atmosphere very helpful and friendly staff. Definitely coming back regularly.

A superb experience and definitely worth a drive to Plymouth. We had lunch at the Royal William Yard which is only 5 minutes away from this. Lots of parking too. Market Hall, Plymouth. '15m diameter immersive dome – inspired by the dome at SAT in Montreal and the first of its kind in Europe, the space invites you to explore immersive realities, without the need for a VR headset, opening up a world of incredible creative and immersive experiences.' Lovely comfortable beanbags to sit on (loads of wheelchair space too) and they also offer special needs group bookings with sensory shows. We saw 'Antarctica' which was pitched perfectly for all of our three children. They show a variety of immersive films too with low admission prices. Highly recommended for something 'different' to do and appropriate for all needs, ages and abilities - ticks a lot of boxes plus there's a lovely cafe there.

Coaxed by friends into coming down for morning coffee and pastries and also to look into the impressively converted old market building now equipped with a huge ‘immersive dome’. Sadly we got the day wrong. The dome etc is only open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. From what we could see from the cafe and the promotional boards, we will be coming down here again to see all of that in a few days. As to the cafe it is a wide open space with two glazed sides and ample open tables which seem to be used by persons with business or activities elsewhere in the building or who have chosen to come in just for discussions or meetings. As well as those there were curious folk like us just looking the place over and presumably neighbours or whomever just using the cafe. At present, at breakfast time they had the full swathe of tea and coffees, soft drinks and pains au chocolate/raisin, croissants, toastier and crisps. Behind the counter there was a lot more state of the art kitchen and bar kit suggesting that for events or in the future the cafe could operate as a full blown bar/brasserie type place.
