Cute, cozy, and inviting. We had two memorable cappuccinos, a warm blackberry muffin, and a goat curd and tomato focaccia sandwich. They were delicious, service 2”was quick and very friendly. Outdoor seating for those who wish to linger a while. A quick, but memorable meal to start our day in Penzance.

Simply divine! The focaccia is the best I’ve ever eaten, the canelé are delicious and Joel is great! The best spot for coffee and a snack in Penzance.

Always a friendly welcome, despite the fact I am here only sporadically, great coffee, and delicious, freshly baked cookies and treats. My favourite is the cardamom and chocolate cookie - I dream of these when I’m far away. The particularly good thing about Roundhouse is that they are open consistently and from 8am, which means when I am working here, I can reliably get my caffeine and cookie fix before I start! This isn’t always the case in Penzance so worth noting.

Great little coffee stop, cute little outdoor seating . But main thing is coffee is lush! And the cakes and granola were delish!

I visited this little hut every day on my week-long trip to the coast and I still think about it (watching the insta stories from afar). Delicious coffee, friendly staff, incredible sweet treats and just the best vibes. Very sad I live a 7 hour drive away… until we meet again, I have the beautiful memories from summer
