Ulterior Motives
11 MayJune 2026 in Cornwall (… and the ulterior coffee motive)
Penzance closes its town centre to traffic for ten days at midsummer, parades giant sculptures through it on the 27th, and calls the whole thing Golowan.
"Market square independent with food worth the stop and a room that earns the time. The coffee keeps up."
25-26 Market Pl, Penzance TR18 2JD, UK
Second floor above a vintage shop on Market Jew St, this is the cup Penzance keeps recommending. The espresso range earns the word of mouth.
The coffee holds up here as a reason to visit, not just a thing you have alongside the food. The oat flat white is the order.
The flat white has earned weekly returns from a self-described coffee fussy, which is the most honest endorsement this place offers. It's at a heliport, Jelbert Way, which sounds made up and isn't.
