Pinky Murphy's Café

South Cornwall


You'll almost need a pair of sunglasses to cope with the kitsch dazzle of stripes, spots and colours on show in this endearingly retro cafe. It serves a good range of things for lunch: homemade soup, sharing platters and sandwiches, chased down with homemade cupcakes or the house special, Pinky's Cream Tease.
