Can’t recommend highly enough. Great selection of drinks, Long Black I have had in a while. Also recommend the BLAT sandwich - will be back!

The establishment and location of Short & Strong is excellent. The vibe is casual modern and cosy. However the food was average, leaning toward disappointing.Things we triedTomato soup (5/10): tasted like straight tomato passata. Some herbs/spices would have been great to offset the tomato-y tartness. The accompanying bread was dry and not very good.Buddha Bowl (5/10): visually appealing but lacking in flavor. Roasted red peppers and smashed avocado could use a kick, like lemon/salt/pepper/cilantro. Hummus is also bland. Really disappointing compared to the Buddha bowl at Cosmic Kitchen (Plymouth)Buffalo Mozzarella ciabatta sandwich with almond pesto (7/10): this was probably my favorite out of the three food items we tried. Well balanced flavor from the pesto, and a nice crunch from the toasted ciabatta.Turmeric latte (6/10): nothing notable.Kids special hot chocolate (visually 7/10): gratuitous volume of whipped cream and flake. Upon asking, the barista mentioned that they use bournville hot chocolate powder.

Visit this place this morning to have a breakfast. I had an excellent cornish brunch. Nice place too..
Great vegan breakfast! It was nice to see a place offer more than just an avocado on toast. Coffee was amazing but charging 80p for non-dairy is excessive, especially considering the price of dairy and the popularity and accessibility of non-dairy.Dietary restrictions: A range of vegan options

Pretty decent vegan breakfast, the only parts letting it down is that the "eggs" were slightly tasteless and they could do with some black salt and more seasonings. I also personally think that the portion sizes are slightly too small for the price - the beans are delicious and its a shame we didnt get much of them.The coffee and granola was fantastic and extremely tasty.Everything else was really good experience and I highly recommend this place to all vegans. The staff were also really helpful and friendly.

Me and my partner have been Poldark chasing so naturally found ourselves at this beautiful tiny little gem.Admittedly I was unsure as I walked in. Felt quite claustrophobic and as both the indoor seating rooms were (small and) full, I was nervous of sitting outside as storm Agnes was on the horizon.THANK GOD for the smart optimism of my partner. Because the staff were ABSOLUTELY LOVELY before I'd even arrived at my unfair preconceptions. And they continued to be brilliant thereafter - a man with the moustache of a Greek god and a lovely woman were warm and fantastic!We bought a cappuccino and a hot chocolate, which unexpectedly had that barista touch of art in the foam, like magic.My partner got a vegan brunch and I got the Cornish one... and genuinely, hand on heart was one of the best-looking, heartiest breakfasts I've ever seen. I loved it so much I do believe I drove my partner mad with my ravings of how good this was!It's worth mentioning, the sweet potato on the vegan brunch (my partner gave me some to try) was spiced with some level of magic that gave it a good kick I've never experienced before.Although small, the indoor seating is warm, comfortable and cosy. And the outside area could fit loads more if the sun allowed for it (not today!). The cushions were the only small negative I had, but not one that could even dent the good mood that breakfast and that man's moustache put me in.Please can I have your moustache?Absolutely RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND!...seriously though... I'll pay for that moustache!

Lovely vegan breakfast. Well thought out, creative vegan option. Better than your standard vegan option. We timed it well to got the last table inside, bit of a wait, but as they were very busy we didn’t mind this. Would highly recommend
