ESI Café

The ESI Café is located at the top of Penryn Campus with the Environment and Sustainability Institute. We serve quality Fairtade coffee, soups, fresh sandwiches, cakes and pastries. The café is open to all visitors and is a popular space for those studying sciences and engineering courses to grab a light lunch and coffee. The café is an ideal spot for holding small meetings or hosting visitors. 

Where possible our disposables (cutlery, hot drinks cups and takeaway packaging) are environmentally friendly – either compostable, biodegradable or recyclable.

We encourage you to drink in our cafes or use reusable cups for take away. We have a range of reusable lidded cups for sale and, if you buy one from us, your first hot drink is complimentary.

The sustainability of our products is of great importance to us which is why we try to use local suppliers for our meat, fruit, and vegetables wherever possible in all our units.
