WAREHOUSE in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely location, small, great cakes, but very poor quality coffee -- acidic and unpleasant blend we left as unable to drink, but the doughnuts are brilliant!

Over extracted/burnt coffee, flat white served in a tea mug. Shame for a place seeming to focus on their coffee.

We had coffees and cakes in this small but really friendly cafe. Our dog was given treats & water. Great place, highly recommended.

We found this coffee bar by accident 12 months ago, whilst on holiday in Cornwall and very pleased we did. It is down a tiny alley. The coffee is lovely and doughnuts to die for. The staff very friendly. We were back in Cornwall again in September this year and couldn't wait to re-visit this wonderful coffee bar. In our 2 weeks holiday, we went back to Truro three times for coffee and doughnuts - well worth the hour and a half round trip. We love that you can donate £1, so that the emergency services and servicemen and woman can have a free coffee. What a wonderful idea. Well done to all concerned. Can't wait to go back again next year. Thank you.

We vonden toevallig dit koffiehuisje. Als er geen bord langs de drukkere straat had gestaan waren we er zeker niet geweest. Leuk knus koffiehuis. Heerlijke donuts en andere versnaperingen!!

Went here based on Tripadvisor reviews. No longer called warehouse so maybe it’s been taken over. We got 2 cappuccinos and a cinnamon donut. Based on the pics on TA of the cappuccinos, i had high expectations of a Melbourne-esque coffee. Instead we were given a country-style, average coffee. Lots of froth and not a particularly nice coffee flavour. No chocolate on top. The donut was nice but nothing to get excited about.Wouldn’t return.

Have been here a few times now for coffee, Carrara coffee is my favourite and the staff always make it beautifully, good choice of donuts and cakes, plus the nicest staff, always going the extra mile to make it a wonderful experience. Best coffee in Truro.

Found this lovely coffee bar down a narrow lane. Lovely ladies working and serving and the food and coffee was excellent.

My wife, her mother and I were in Cornwall, we found this lovely little coffee place! :) supporting local businesses, nhs staff, emergency services and more. What a wonderful place!! Also the home baked brownie we had was INCREDIBLE! So thanks to Barbara! :)

Great little find on a Truro wander good coffee and doughnuts, friendly staff kids and adults alike enjoyed.

came across this place one sunday morning, lovely coffee and gluten free cake, with pleasant friendly staff, great seating upstairs as is small on the ground floor, really worth a visit

Lovely staff, awesome doughnuts & very impressed with the canned water as apposed to plastic bottled. Well done all round. A neat on trend place with lovely atmosphere. Thank you.

Absolutely love, love, love, love, love, this place. Staff are amazing, great service, coffee is great. Love the new coffee of the month idea, always great to have variety. Donuts are delicious, fantastic for a pre work snack, or when out with friends or family. Nothing bad to say, my absolute favourite.

The only place I have ever been outside of the US or various bases outside of the UK where a serviceman or woman can get a free coffee or donate and anyone can donate a £1 for the someone. It also includes emergency services and the NHS. Well Done and be proud of yourselves.

We visited this adorable little doughnut shop this afternoon for a quick doughnut and coffee. Although our double chocolate doughnuts and my flat white were great to take away and eat on the steps of the cathedral, the staff seemed very scared of us, particularly the guy serving the doughnuts and taking the orders... I don't really think we're particularly intimidating I get that it's a pretty close area to order from and your at fairly close quarters all the time we werent at all awkward, loud or demanding with our ordering.

Loved this quirky coffee shop tucked out of the way in Truro. Staff were friendly and helpful. The donuts tasted amazing and we'll definitely be coming back for more. The hot drinks were also great and we loved the variety of toppings with the whipped cream. Just one little suggestion that would have made it 5/5, is that the portion of coffee/hot chocolate that you get in a cup could have been a little bigger. I'm not sure if it's because we had cream, but we found our cups were only half full after we'd got through the cream, so just a suggestion to put in more hot drink and then have them cream on top above the cup rather than in it. Otherwise, really great and we'll likely come back again. Thank you :)

Great coffee and very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and cosy seating upstairs. Would definitely visit here again!

Searched Truro for a nice place for a light lunch. Stumbled across this small gem in the backstreets. Great service and lovely food. Choice is limited but that means what they do they do well.

I feel I have to write a few words on behalf of my son who says this place is great! A place he has visited a few times with his college buddies when he has some 'free time'! I have yet to visit but from what he says, and being a coffee lover myself, I am somewhat intrigued to try it fairly soon. By the way he loves your iced coffees! I'm all for supporting small businesses rather than these big chains.

Visiting Truro for the first time and having left the cathedral we found this lovely little coffee and cake shop hidden away in an alleyway (Red Brick Alley). We would rather visit small businesses rather than the coffee chains. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and the coffee was excellent. We didn't eat but the cakes looked very tasty. They also do free coffee for the emergency services and military which is a nice touch. If you are local make sure you support this venture and if you are a visitor put it on your must visit list.

Fed up off all the big name coffee house stubbled on this little gem of a coffee house.

Recommended by locals and 1652 delivered on excellent coffee and doughnuts in a relaxed atmosphere. Delightful staff. Highly recommended.

If Twin Peaks was Cornish, Coop would drink here. The fresh doughnuts were fluffy and light and the coffee is fresh.

All the reviews are correct. The coffee is good and the doughnuts are delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice people. Recommended.

This is a wonderful little, strange shaped building hidden away down an alley in Truro. A couple of seats outside, a few downstairs but more upstairs. Fabulous coffee at £2. Take your ID with you if you work in the emergency services as people donate £1 to give you a free coffee. The cakes and donuts are amazing and worth the calories.

Heard about this place from a friend and was not disappointed White hot chcolaote was actually hot and sweet Great selection of doughnuts 🍩 Brilliant offer for paying it forward for a member of the emergency services

Great little family run business with fresh coffee and cakes 👍 friendly atmosphere with free coffee for all service and emergency services.

Dragged down an alley by my wife, "Donuts!" she yells; I'm expecting a dirty stall with grease stains on every surface, but as she pulls me in by through a doorway I am very pleasantly surprised! We've stepped into a little cosy coffee shop.

Really nice coffee and amazing doughnuts. It took us a while to find as it's tucked away but, well worth a visit!!

Superb place for a coffee and doughnuts not a massive selection but great quality makes up for it. The cinnamon doughnut got the most thumbs up but was sold out when we went for seconds so had to try other, such a hardship for the wife and kids.

This is a hidden gem. Down a side alley in Truro town centre it's a lovely little spot for an excellent cup of coffee and a fantastic choice of delicious donuts. It's only small and has a nice relaxed vibe, I also love the book swap idea, always a winner for me.

New York transplant living in UK past 2 years. Hands down the best donut I've had here that didn't cost £5. Get the cinnamon sugar donut- incredibly light & chewy, tasted like home. Coffee is great too.

I had a lovely coffee which could have been free if I'd wanted. One of the few places I have been to offering a free cup of joe to serviceman and the emergency services- Thank You! Donuts looked awesome but I was strong!!

Called in on a Saturday morning. Loved the atmosphere and the decor. Staff were very friendly, coffee & donuts great. A very relaxing and chilled out place. Would definitely return again

Lovely small coffee shop with a nice selection of locally made doughnuts and fresh coffee. - nice surroundings and friendly staff.

Small amazing little coffee shop, doughnuts are amazing! But what makes this place unique is the fact you can pay a coffee forward to NHS, Armed forces and Emergency services! Absolutely amazing highly recommend staff are friendly we will be back when we next come down :-)

Lovely little place tucked away in Truro. Decor is classy, nice touches such as plugs/USB charging points and water available. I had an excellent flat white and the donuts were good too.

This modern and cosy cafe offers fantastic smooth espresso and nice selection of donuts. It's well located in the city centre, and the staff is really friendly. My husband and I returned here several times during our short holiday.

Such a cute little cafe, delicious coffee and amazing donuts. Friendly and helpful staff and a really nice atmosphere.

I dropped in with a friend for a lunch having walked pass on many occasions its a very sweet place they had gluten free and decaf they put dark chocolate shavings on the top that was a nice touch please drop in its small but lovely and the staff are just delightful I recommend this place

Popped in here expecting a great choice of Donuts and a good coffee.

Chanced upon this place tucked away on a back street in Truro - lovely coffee and donut and really appreciate their efforts to support military personnel. Also a nice clean loo, always a bonus!

We randomly stumbled upon Sixteen Fifty Two Coffee and Donuts by seeing a sign advertising it off the main street in Truro, and we are so glad we did!

Found this place on Tuesday and it's sooooo good we are back again 3 days later. Best mocha in Cornwall and the donut are to die for

Me and a friend discovered this place via Cornwall live posting an article about them and we are in love. Living 10 minutes from Truro I can't believe I didn't know this place existed and will now be my new favourite local coffee shop. Such a friendly chilled atmosphere with happy staff and amazing doughnuts , I love it here.

Well worth a visit. Great coffee, good snacks and chilled background music. A selection of newspapers and books are available. A refreshing change from your usual chain coffee shop.

After reading the article in the West Briton, I was keen to try out the newest coffee shop in town. Sixteen Fifty Two have hit on something fantastic in their concept. Enjoy a coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate) and a doughnut (or muffin, or other cake) and swap books? A winning combination.
