The Mad Merchant Coffee House

The selection is good, but it would be even better to have additional items like beans, hash browns, etc.

We have come here on many occasions, usually with friends, for breakfast. This is definitely the best breakfast in Plymouth, whether you have the Full Shebang, a big English breakfast but with spiced, scrambled eggs and balsamic tomatoes, or the Turkish breakfast. This is the one I have, and it is a baked egg dish with Sucuk, a spicy beef sausage, feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, and cucumber, accompanied by sourdough toast and warm honey. Absolutely delicious. Plus they have a fabulous menu of coffees and teas.

This cafe is truly a hidden gem of Turkish delight. Set in Plymouth old town (curiously called New Street) just off from the hustle and bustle of the Barbican, along the old cobbled street, this looks like a traditional English tea house. The interior is quite enchanting the garden even more so! Sitting in the warm summer sun you could almost believe you were in Turkey itself surrounded by a traditional Turkish decor and Turkish waitresses. We had a fabulous lunch of Mad Merchants Turkish Delight and Sourdough Smash and a pot of Granny's Garden fruit infusion. We also indulged in the marvelous cakes! Such a wonderful alternative and so relaxing. All the staff were so courteous and engaging. We will definately return and recommend to all our friends. Amazingly good!
