Three Rivers Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely people and a great breakfast I'll definitely be back 😊

Food was lovely, staff are friendly and polite. Will definitely return when we're here again

We found this cafe in Truro and the meals are really good not expensive staff are lovely and it's value for money brilliant been in 3 times now thank you

Lovely friendly welcome Lots of choice on.the menu Generous portions. Excellent food,cooked to perfection. Great value for money and very reasonable. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely make it my regular cafe whenever l visit Truro

I've visited three rivers on many occasions and have always received a warm welcome every time, even though I've only had a full English minus the tomatoes, this is a much better breakfast than Wetherspoons for one the buttered toast with marmalade and with staff willing to substitute items, the menu has so much more to offer to something lighter or something sweet and only being a stones throw from the bus station too, which makes it even more convenient, my latest visit was during a sunny spring morning with friends, so we decided to sit outside the café, our order was delivered to our table very quickly and was so delicious with a great price.

Incredible food. Great staff, great atmosphere - definitely suggest this gem. We went for the breakfast but the selection of food looks great - and brilliant prices aswell.

If you are lactose intolerant don't bother going here, they only do blue milk and are very rude about it, went to another cafe in truro that did do oat milk

Me and my partner came for breakfast here this morning. Superb food and for only £9 each! Very quick service friendly staff. Coffee was good too. Only thing that lets the place down is the atmosphere. Outdated decor throughout, there was no music playing quietly in the background or anything and it was very cold in there. Other than that 10/10. Cannot fault the food or the staff! Will be back again.

Food was piping hot and plenty of it, excellent service and friendly staff, very good value for money

Good food, service on point, thick bacon. I mean what else do you want. This is a great cafe, highly recommended..

Myself and my boyfriend opted for the breakfast. The cooked breakfast even came with 2 slices of toast and marmalade, the full English is very filling and very much so value for money.

Top rate breakfast, great price and friendly service. Definitely going there again

This is the only place The Boss will eat when we visit Truro and she’s hard to please. It’s always clean, the tables get cleared and wiped. The service is quick, always friendly. The menu is good with all day breakfasts. I’d like to try their “Mighty One” option but I don’t think I could manage it. But great value at £9 a pop. All in all a great caff. Try it you won’t be sorry.

The staff are so accommodating to what you want to eat and drink very polite and the meals are so good you have to go back the next time you're in Truro. You have sometimes have to wait a little but you know its always worth it. The price is good for what you get.

Always a great breakfast. Well worth visiting

Good food, great prices, ideal location by the bus station and an obvious popular destination for locals - always a good indication, especially in Cornwall. Service was OK - although quite off putting seeing team members eating behind the beaded curtain and then serving food without any sign of handwashing. Could also 'tone down' the mindless chit chat - not everyone wants to hear if you prefer Rice Snaps from Aldi or Kelloggs Rice Crispies...... Ohhhh and don't expect a Cappuccino if you order one - it's just a sachet of Lidl mix with hot water......

Food was Okay, Very reasonable price, short wait, quick polite service, would definitely recommend for a quick cheap breakfast to start the day, dog friendly is nice to see also

I had a decent breakfast, but the young girl was one of the most miserable, surly people I have met, perhaps customer service is not her forte. The chef/owner was very polite and pleasant, though.

Great food, great prices, lovely staff. Will definitely eat here again if I'm in the area

Great little cafe, really nice staff, even allows pets inside which is really nice if the weather is bad, my favourite thing about this cafe is, rather then just giving you your toast with your English breakfast, they also give you a little cup with some marmalade, which I think is a really nice touch, you would never get this treatment in London, so if your in town, definitely check out this cafe.

Lovely little cafe that was dog friendly. Very friendly staff. Tasty food. Best mug of tea

Wonderfully friendly. Spotlessley clean. Convenient location, Reasonable price. What more could you ask for ! We visit Truro about every six weeks and usually go here for brunch. The best value in Truro.

Great little cafe. Home cooked breakfast which was hot and delicious. Definitely an improvement from Wetherspoons breakfast. Staff very polite.

Once a year I get my MOT in Truro and always go for breakfast here. Value for money is great. Friendly service. Food has always been good. Cannot find fault really. Be back next year!

Top breakfast in town. Friendly owners great service 👍

First time been here,breakfast was great will definitely be back

We had a very warm welcome by staff. There had a nice selection of food and drinks on there menu. I had the double sausage and chips and nothing was to much bother to put cheese on my chips aswel. My husband had the burger and chips which he enjoyed aswel. I even had a afternoon tea which was absolutely amazing homemade and fell apart. My husband had a coffee and i had a stawberry ice cream milkshake. Definitely would recommend this little cafe to family and friends

Normally grab breakfast with my partner and we always have a good experience, but today the lady behind the counter was going about what I presume is a life problem. Me and my partner paid and walked out whilst leaving a whole breakfast, I couldn't sit there and eat whilst listening to staff problems which stem from home

Such a cheap little cafe sun beams through the window, lovely friendly staff. Parking is very close and town is litrally outside the cafe door.

Great breakfast and friendly service at a reasonable price

Such a lovely place to eat - very friendly welcoming staff & very decent prices! Food was perfect.

Had a lovely coffee, my friend had a burger and enjoyed it, nice friendly staff.

Came today with my husband as we were looking for somewhere quiet to eat. We ordered two all day breakfasts and there were no issues with us changing it a bit. Good quality ingredients and the beans stayed hot during the entire meal (absolutely no idea how they managed this!) Toast with marmalade was a bit peculiar, but my hubby loved it as it gave him the option to have "pudding" (toast with marmalade) after his breakfast. Latte was gorgeous, squash lovely and cold. During our stay the waitress cleaned the doors and also the toilets so it gave us confidence about the cleanliness of the place. Waitress and cook wonderful and attentive without being overbearing

Amazing breakfast, low prices clean and tidy friendly staff would recommend this place highly

Really nice little café, great simple hearty food, easy on the wallet and the staff are always lovely.

The only place that I choose in Truro for a morning after full breakfast 👍

The custom is extreamly amazing and friendly the food is cooked to perfection and they truly make you feel part of the family the true meaning of a cafe i would give more stars if I could so thank you from the pink mum n daughter

Great service, food, price. What more could you want!!!

Spot on. No fuss café. Sausage sandwich and mug of tea - perfect.

Came for late breakfast and it was perfect. Proper old school little cafe- sat outside and watched the world go by. Unpretentious, straight forward and exactly what was needed!

Absolutely fantastic 100% service Friendly and welcoming, food was lovely and hot and cooked well. I will always head for a cafe rather than main chain pub or Buisness as these are the true people of any town xx

Spoons not serving, so came here for traditional breakfast..... very nice indeed. The staff wiped wet outside seats and tables for us and our nice. freshly cooked breakfast arrived shortly after. If you want a traditional, fresh-cooked English breakfast in a comfortable place, with clean toilets and friendly service, you will enjoy it here. We felt good supporting a local business, rather than a chain.

Myself and my partner went here on a visit to Truro for the day. We came away to Cornwall on a budget and was looking for somewhere reasonably priced fo get some food. The inside could do with a bit of a clean and refurb, and we did have to wait a while to be seen inside. But the lady behind the counter was the only person their cooking and she was doing everything. Food was excellent actually. We had a full English, sandwich, chips and drink and it came to roughly £15. You can’t go wrong with that price. And I’m regards to other reviews I’ve seen, you cannot expect a 5 star dining experience when the prices and so low.

I said to my partner this looks good to take our 2 kids and newborn baby in for lunch, how wrong was I !!! The children’s food came out which was acceptable, then my food arrived had a tasteless all day breakfast, they got my partners order wrong to which we heard all sorts of shouting from the kitchen, so the waitress had given my partners food to somebody else, and she was offered the cheeseburger that was meant for the other table. The cheese burger was in a cheap burger bun and inside was what looked like a Tesco tiny Tesco value burger patty, it had been cooked in oil. She ate the chips but politely mentioned that she couldn’t eat the burger so asked for it to be taken off the bill, to which she claimed it was from a local butcher, after some cursing the waitress being the owners daughter recalculated the bill which was incorrect after we checked it against what we had purchased. As the owner started being abusive to my partner in front of our young children I felt disgusted at paying at all. I have never experienced customer service like it and I have experienced some dives in my time. As stated in other reviews it is dated but I don’t judge a book my it’s cover but in this instance I should have. Food hygiene level 5??? The table wasn’t cleaned before we were seated. This whole scene was witnessed by some very shocked customers in the cafe. It was that bad it was almost funny

Nipped in for a tea and a coffee. Had to shout twice to get served, as no one on counter. When the lady arrived she was miserable and grumpy. I paid for the drinks, and sat down. The coffee was weak and insipid. The tea was OK. The Covid regime was poor. Tables not wiped and sanitised, the whole time we were there. Condiments in holders on table.....not sanitised. A most unwelcoming and unfriendly place. Old tired decor, and in need of a clean. One to avoid!

Although there was track & trace signage on the door, no member of staff checked if anyone had used it. Used sauce bottles were given from dirty tables.We were in there for just under an hour & we didn't see 1 table or seat wiped down. Tables werent cleared & people had to sit at these tables! They weren't busy & in these times such lack of basic cleanliness is not acceptable. If l hadn't have had bacteria wipes in my bag we would have left. It's a pity because the food is quite good & is reasonably priced.

Brilliant place to have a tasty lunch ideal for getting the bus afterwards.

The owners daughter the larger lady was very rude and offensive when she discovered we did not have cash and wanted to pay by card. Old fashioned, dirty unwelcoming cess pit. AVOID!!!

Great value for money, everything was well cooked and warm. I even liked the sausage! (Am fussy with sausages) the tea left alot to be desired but again im fussy with my tea. Was hot though! Decor a bit on the old side. Some new tables and chairs wouldnt go a miss. But good service with a smile goes a long way :) The only thing, as i was in there alone, maybe in the mornings when its quiet just pop a radio on or something. Thankyou for my breakfast :)

my favorite cafe since i was 4. food is amazing. the milkshakes are the best. its iconic

Just like mum makes it. Always good food. And good prices. Local to shops to so perfect for a pit stop or start of the day fuel.

Absolutely lovely service, definitely worth supporting your local café, rather than national chains!

Chips were good but the Pasty was poor. Coffee was very weak

Great food friendly service lovely cafe !!

Friendly Lical place, just the place to visit for a good prices English breakfast, friendly people, local gossip, but thats life in Truro.

We thought we would try it after walking past. It is decent basic food at good price so cannot grumble at all about it. I did have a nose about and the cafe does appear very tired inside with old carpet on the floor and just worn. If the place was given a good refurb and a freshen up it could do so much better as i am sure locals would support it more than others in the town

Went their for breakfast, staff not friendly coffee and tea not good, had a breakfast over cooked and will never go back

Very unwelcoming rude staff order was slow to come out even the drinks were and it was quite at the time was all pretty much thrown onto the table. Tables were dirty food very poor for money salad cream out of date and both our plates had multiple big chips in not nice at all will never go back would have given no stars but cant

Food was ok but a minor problem with a hair found in a sandwich was not dealt with at all well. "It can't be mine as it's tied back" is not what you expect to get as a response. The sandwich was grudgingly replaced but we wouldn't recommend this cafe.

Not busy whilst i was there, but nice basic menus, friendly, clean and nice food and drinks, not much more to add from this visit

Used to be very good but went in there a month ago rude and unfriendly the food was not half as good as it was

Nice and friendly always pop in 4 a cuppa when up that way

When I lived in Truro, this place was my go to, it’s been a wonderful place over the years , it has been the one stop for refreshments for my wife and I on any visit to Truro, I have recommended this little cafe to 100s of people, but sadly after today, no more, my wife popped in here after dealing with a family members bereavement. Ordered two teas and two toasted tea cakes, I know that the lady behind the counter was busy, but we were told the tea cakes would take 40 minutes, 40 minutes to put two tea cakes into a toaster???? Anyways as time was short, we opted for a couple of cakes which the lady said she would drop across immediately, after drinking most of the tea and no sign of the cakes, I asked the lady to cancel them, she stormed to the till and dug out the cost of the cake and virtually threw the cash into my hand, I politely asked if all was ok as she didn’t look as if she was far from impressed with me, to which she replied, “well, you come in here “ ordering cake at lunch time, I’m busy preparing meals,” I apologised for being so inconsiderate and told her that I wouldn’t do it again, and I won’t, Sadly I won’t frequent the place again, and I will most certainly pass on my experience to anyone willing to listen. We even left before completing our teas as my wife felt so uncomfortable, for that, the staff here should be ashamed of themselves.

Although the price for soup of the day is very affordable at £3/£4. A few weeks ago, I was very disappointed when asking for tomato soup of the day and it resemble the same Heinz tomato soup I had the previous day. (You Cannot mistake Heinz tomato soup) Plus a stale burger bun came with it, both I could have happily get from tescos for £1, I felt over charged, conned and it irritated me. I love quaint cafes and have NEVER paid for/been served Heinz soup, its madness. if the soup was up to the standard of the all day breakfast my partner had and thoroughly enjoyed, then it would be lovely. (Home made would be nice!!!!!). Point is, don't charge £3 for t soup, its insulting when I payed triple the cost for the soup which is actually 60p in supermarkets. I dont eat in cafes to have processed canned foods i can have at home for pence. Ive been working in cafes for many years and its all about quality!!. Also the prices for a child meal is abit much when not including a drink. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back anytime soon.

Staff had an attitude ordered two small breakfast Basically had our food thrown at us food over cooked beans warm egg looked wrong bacon solid sausage had no flavour. First place I had eaten in Truro and would not ever go back again disgusted is I could give no stars I would

Very good meal and very well priced

I was very impressed with this Cafe in Truro. Portion sizes were very generous, and offered excellent value for money. he menu was down to earth, and offered easily recognisable options. The service was friendly, professional and the waiting time was minimal. Highly recommended.

Vivió aquí 22 años y esta fue mi primera experiencia de los tres ríos cafe. La decoración es muy anticuado pero limpio la gama de comida y bebidas es buena comida adecuada café. Pedimos el menú de desayuno en 1127, sin ningún problema ya que el desayuno termina en 1130. Con nuestros desayunos pedimos que taza de café y una taza de café descafeinado. Estas fueron entregadas caliente y utilizaron la boquilla de vapor, lo que me hizo sonreír trayendo recuerdos de la infancia. El desayuno llegó caliente con una buena calidad de los ingredientes utilizados y tostadas y mermelada. Honestamente puedo decir que disfruté de mi estancia mucho regresaré de nuevo.

Food was ok, nothing special. Was a bit pricey for what you get. The plates are either way to small, or the servings way to big as half my food fell off the plate while eating. The cafe has been around for 30+ years, but I'm not sure if it has ever been updated in its history. Was quiet when I visited, but that was off season so not sure what it is like when the tourists arrive. They allow you to phone ahead and order takeaways, but they are cash only.

I've only eaten there once in 20 years of living in Truro...

So the salt wouldn't come out so we undone it to find brown rust mixed with the salt that was on two of the shakers when pointed out they were very rude and tried saying it was condensation but I've never in my life seen brown condensation, I'd avoid this cafe completely!!!

Often passed by but came in today for the first time. It's not smart or trendy. It's not predominently smart business folk or flush retired couples, rather it is a busy mix of ordinary people tucking in to straightforward food in a safe unstressed and easy setting. This place is open 7am til 5pm. They do all day breakfast but also lunches and afternoon tea. We went for egg and chips (newly had pie and chips) but thee was plenty else. Almost everything can be taken away. There's no glitz or racy buzz. Like us you might have been chosing to wander by not taking much notice of the sign. But you should try it. The place is close to all parts of central Truro.
