Nourish, Mmi in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We live in the village and absolutely love the MMI (where Nourish is based). The people are lovely, the atmosphere is so welcoming - they're a proper community hub. Best of all they're super dog friendly!

We stopped at Nourish for some lunch after the long walk up the hill from the beach and were able to sit under the sun umbrellas at the front of the old mining institute building where the cafe is based. We had a couple of excellent toasted sandwiches and I had probably the best mocha of a week of many mochas from across Cornwall. Excellent value for money and really friendly staff.

Gorgeous coffees and a great variety of cakes. We got a white chocolate and raspberry bakewell tart and a peanut brownie and they were divine! The coffees were very good too!

We’ve been visiting Cornwall out of season for a week and frankly all of the food has been big portions, fresh and great value. There are two things that stand out at Nourish at the Mine & Mechanics Institute. Firstly, the flavour and freshness of the food and secondly and most importantly the two ladies who work Nourish, they are open friendly, funny and informative, one sat down with us for a chat about Cornwall and the other lady took the ‘mickey’ out of her colleague and of us, they were both lovely and engaging. It may be cafe food, but not as you’d know it. Great value and local produce. Really worth a visit just to to have lunch with the ladies. Has a full bar, hot and cold freshly cooked food, cream teas and cakes!
