A warm, welcoming and unusual café-bookshop…

The Cook Book

The bar at the Cook Book.. home-made cakes; delicious cream teas; soups that vary with the season and the ingenuity of the cook; fresh local line-caught mackerel, smoked on the premises; baguettes, breakfasts and home-baked ham, “the best coffee in Cornwall”.

Our café-bookshop is children and dog friendly.

There are friendly staff, daily papers to read and books … about 5,000 second-hand books in three rooms upstairs, on the stairs and in the café as Bosorne Books spreads out. Please read more about our café on our Cook Book page.

Next to The Cook Book is Banjo Cottage, a delightful and beautifully restored cottage with a secluded and sunny garden. If you would like to book it for your Cornish holiday, please go to the Cornish Cocoons website.

St. Just’s café-bookshop feeding the body and mind!
