Chris Moore appreciates the café's compact charm and finds great satisfaction in both the menu variety and the excellent service. Anyone looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a bite should prioritize Blend 71, but be sure to arrive early—Mags Jakubik’s lament about its early closing hours highlights the café's popularity.

Genuinely one of the best lunch time sandwich places I've been to. The sandwiches are fresh tasting, deep filled, and offered in wonderful flavour combinations. The ciabatta bread also deserves a mention as it is outstandingly tasty. Whatever sandwich you get, ask for it to be toasted as it just perfectly finishes it off. Good selection of cakes and treats too, as well as coffees etc.

Great little compact cafe in Truro. Nice friendly staff and parking along the street outside. Really tasty good selection of food and drinks (hot and cold) and all the sandwiches freshly made. Only space for a couple of stools in the window so not really a sit in and eat kind of place. They take card also.

An absolutely amazing coffee, friendly staff, great food, what's not to love? It's close, but I think that this is the best cup of coffee in Truro.

Lovely little coffee shop, with friendly staff. The food is freshly made with good quality ingredients. The sandwiches are great, and I'm a huge fan of the salads.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The Festive Chicken Club is unreal, sweet, savoury, fresh, spot on! One of my favourite lunch spots in Truro and I will make sure we continue ordering our work lunches from Blend71.
