Orlando's in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Beautiful, cosy cafe with a strong vegan theme. Great food selection, super affordable prices and delicious cake! I absolutely love the quotes and decor up on the walls. Would highly recommend a visit.

I had high hopes for Mermaid Alley in Penzance, but sadly, the food was a big letdown. I ordered the vegan thali for £25, expecting something flavorful and well-prepared, but it was mostly deep-fried vegetables in bland batter that tasted like absolutely nothing—like eating air. For that price, I expected so much more. On the positive side, the hot chocolate was nice, but that was the only redeeming part of the meal. My daughter said hers was cold. There were no options for children, and the overall pricing felt extortionate. I’ve haven’t felt ripped off in a food establishment for a very very long time, but this experience really stung, especially since I can’t afford to waste money on bad food. They did knock £10 off the bill after I said I wouldn’t eat the meal, but honestly, I think they should have taken off the full price. The staff were polite, but that doesn’t make up for how disappointing the food was. Definitely wouldn’t go back.

Loving this unique, boutique place. Totally recommended.

Had a lovely set meal here last night. Would be difficult to pick my favourite part as it was all so good

Love the food here. The salads are so good they use seasonal produce and therefore change regularly. The homity pie is scrumptious as is the excellent coffee.. love this cafe thanks to the wonderful staff.
