The Discovery in Plymouth

Relaxed atmosphere, sensible food 🥘 great coffee ☕️

Love this place! Fantastic coffee, and a great simple selection of breakfast and lunch. They have a specials board and drinks fridge.

Hidden gem of a place. Church run cafe doing breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had sandwiches and panini - all fresh and filling - Cajun chicken was very good. Clean and welcoming with friendly staff.

Great find in Plymouth. Food served very quickly. We had sandwiches , they were very fresh along with a salad and chrisps.

Visited 06/07/23 Straightforward cafe, reasonable menu choice for most. We ordered ham egg & chips and sausage and mash, both meals okay for the reasonable cost. Nice and civilised atmosphere compared to the fast food eateries in nearby Drake Circus. Excellent pot of tea.

Friendly and welcoming staff, good food at reasonable prices., recommend.

A fairly quiet and spacious cafe with breakfasts at reasonable prices

A really nice place for lunch always, one of my favourites. Run by the people from the church with freshly prepared and cooked food which is delicious and always a little treat for a nice lunch out. A very spacious cafe and very comfortable to sit and relax. Thankyou.

Lovely staff, very friendly and delicious freshly cooked food. Meals are presented superbly and are very tasty. Plenty of space and nice, airy, light dining area. Very comfortable and just overall a very pleasant place for lunch. Thankyou.

Very nice and affordable meals, clean and amazing staff. If you are in town and hungry pop in you won't regret it😊

Lovely breakfast as always .Efficient service and covid precautions really good

Food wasn’t great, service was poor at best apart from the old chap that took our order who was great. To find lipstick marks on both coffee cups during a pandemic is particularly disappointing and slightly concerning. However, very cheap, you get what you pay for.

Friendly Staff who I believe are mostly Volunteers! Bring the food to your table. Reasonable prices.

Friendly Staff who I believe are mostly Volunteers. Bring food to your table. Reasonably priced. Play area for young children.

A lovely place to visit and eat and friendly service

Good choice of snacks and meals reasonably priced

Great, cheap food. Friendly, helpful staff.

I often go here now before i go down to the cat's protection charity shop, and i enjoy the food i would say for money it is good. I think that the busiest day is a Tuesday, but in all it is worth going in and having food or just a cup of drink and a tea cake.

The staff were really friendly and great to take little ones, my grand daughter loves the soft play, very good value for your money. Grown ups can have a drink and a snack whilst watching the older children play. Babies were enjoying it with their parent as well. Very good

Attached to the adjacent Methodist church and carrying the ichthys symbol on the sign, this place is the calm hospitable epitome of a Christian operation selling good sensible food at very fair prices in a clean sensible space (with an outside sitting area) right in the heart of the upper retail area where Cornwall Street opens to Drake Circus. It reminds me of late 1950s style public catering but is none the worse for that. My impression is that it attracts not only a portion of the church membership but older folk, some vulnerable or less confident people and some who have very restricted budgets. But it is hospitable and caring. Set all that aside and it’s also very conveniently sited above street level but very close to many shops.

Lovely Singing Rooms Breakfast! Many thanks to Evelina and her team. 😁

My Grandson and I love the Discovery Cafe. We love the fact that it's run mainly by volunteers, it's peacefulness and food is really good and a good price. Roast dinners most days but go early as sell out quite quickly. They also help people in need with free teas or coffee. You can donate £1 or so towards this if you want but they won't ask you, you just enquire.

Quick to bring food out. Good customer service and reasonable pricing. Nice atmosphere

Always enjoy our meals here each Wednesday,and meals always good value.just a small niggle wish we could have stuffing with roast chicken and not Yorkshire pudding. And staff are a credit all work very hard and very pleasant.

The staff are always friendly and the food of a good standard. Nice place to sit and relax.

Always great value and nice food

Great and cheap food lovely people

Friendly place with good, cheap food. You get what you pay for, good place to grab a cup of tea. Great for families, couples and singles. Everyone is welcome and despite it being attached to a church, there is no religious affiliation to Christianity. Toilets on site (very clean). Disability access available.

Social enterprise so what's not to love, yummy scones 😋

This place is perfect if are wanting good real food cooked from scratch by real people. Found this place by chance and now visit when ever I come to Plymouth . It is a really chilled and relaxed atmosphere . The food has always been perfect for me and my family. The place is really well laid out with plenty of room to move about and a seating area outside as well. It is cleaned to a very high standard and would highly recommend this place. 👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely lunch, very attractive venue, brilliant service.

Always good value for money. Very friendly staff too.

Nice plesent approachable mannerable cheap and nice food. 10 out 10 service.

Great value for money. Small portions are available for the the less hungry. Ham, double egg, chips, peas and side salad costing just £6.50 will give readers an idea of the value here.

Happy and friendly atmosphere. Very reasonable prices.Good place to meet for a snack, coffee and chat or for a main meal. Food cooked to order. Lovely place for all ages. Easy access.

Pleasant surrounding, lovely scones and a decent pot of tea!

Myself and friends have been going for breakfast once a week for 6 weeks now the prices are good the portions are good service is good and friendly .

Nice people, nice place but food is mediocre.

Excellent little cafe, reasonable prices and with proceeds going to charity.

Large cafe with children's play area.

It's a lovely and friendly place to go and the meals are really good good prices plus you can sit and chat I would highly recommend it

We had a nice day out in Plymouth on Monday and after a few hours we were in need of refreshment. We met up with family members and they suggested the Discovery Café . Well what a lovely surprise, a very clean café selling a variety of meals, snacks and beverages at a very reasonable price. I had bacon egg and chips, my husband had curry and chips, my sister in law had a small portkion of ham egg and chips and my brother in law had fish and chips. We all had mugs of tea. Everything was served piping hot, the chips were lovely, better than in a lot of restaurants. The staff were welcoming and they all seemed happy to be there. Couldn't be more helpful. I will certainly be popping in here again for lunch soon.

Food delicious coffee get loads of stuff their homemade bake cakes and scones just enjoyable

I meet family and friends here and we all enjoy our lunches here at The Discovery Cafe. It always has a cheerful atmosphere with a steady flow of customers. The meals are hot and delicious and very reasonably priced so it makes it more justifiable to return frequently !

Have visited this cafe a number of times. (Used to go to the church next door). Lovely, peaceful place to be. Really good atmosphere and lobely staff! You get the personal touch here. Thoroughly recommended!

Cosy cafe reasonably priced lovely new soft play really liked it will visit again

Great friendly service. Superb coffee and walnut sponge and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff good choice menu

A nice and inexpensive breakfast.

Good value for money and friendly staff

We found Discovery cafe after traipsing through Drake centre for a wedding 2 hours later at the Methodist church right next door. Yeah, we gave the usual coffee outlets a miss by entering this traditional cafe for a light snack at very reasonable cost - mug of coffee, sarnie/salad, large piece of fresh cake for £7.20. Excellent value in pleasant surroundings. Only caveat is that they close shop at 2.30 pm

This is a busy little cafe which has a varied menu which boasts home cooked food. They also do a range of food for smaller appetites which is perfect for me. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very reasonably priced and the whole cafe was so clean and inviting. Would definitely head for this cafe next time I visit Plymouth.

Lovely cafe, ideally situated, serving good food - all cooked to order, and fantastic homemade cakes. This cafe is a real gem, with a relaxing atmosphere -a surprising find in the city.

The Discovery centre cafe is just opposite M&S in the Main Street. It is very pleasant, has a good selection of well priced food and the food is tasty. A nice change from the glut of coffee houses around Plymouth.

Attached to the side of the Methodist Central Hall this is a popular busy cafe selling sensible good value snacks and drinks. A world apart from the subjacent chain coffee shop beneath.

En la primera página de la planta al lado de la iglesia, buscando a Cornwall y al otro lado de la calle Drake Circus es un popular complejo relajado simpática cafetería muy concurrida, con una buena selección de comida fría y caliente a precios competitivos. Atrae no sólo a los miembros de la iglesia de todas las edades, pero una amplia extensión de personas que volver y volver.
