New Expresso Coffee House

The owners of a new espresso coffee house opening in Truro on Friday 3rd February are bringing a taste of the "Capital" to Cornwall. Blend 71, is opening next to the Truro Plaza in Lemon Street, which used to house a sandwich take-away shop.
The owners, Simon and Victoria Radcliffe, who also own the Old Grammar School bar/restaurant in Truro, are modelling their café on the likes of 'Kaffiene' and 'Milk Bar', part of a metropolitan trend of small artisan style coffee shops popular in Australia and which are now popping up in London's Soho and the City.
Simon says "Despite the prevalence of coffee shops in Truro I strongly feel there is a gap in the market for an expert cup of coffee (which we are going to buy direct from 'Monmouth Coffee' in London), together with a proper sandwich from a less corporate retailer. We will also be selling hot pie and mash .... with gravy!"
Blend 71's lease was negotiated by Rob Redgrave who comments, "this location is a gold-mine. It has traded as a lunchtime takeaway venue for many years servicing Lemon Street and the surrounding vicinity. As with the supermarkets, the public are slowly beginning to realise that there is value in the 'boutique' service rather than the corporate approach".
