Hey! I’m Ian – owner, head roaster, part-time barista, and full-time coffee lover here at Rasta Roast Coffee Shop, proudly brewing Caribbean vibes right in the heart of Par Market, Cornwall.
If you’re on the hunt for the best coffee shop in Cornwall, welcome to your new favourite place. We serve up top-quality Jamaican and African coffee, good chat, a bit of reggae, and a slice of sunshine—even on rainy Cornish days.
Let me tell you how this little slice of Jamaica landed in St Austell, and why our beans (and brownies) are turning heads across the South West—and now, the UK
Bringing Jamaican Coffee Culture to Cornwall
Cornwall’s known for its beaches, pasties, and breathtaking views. But what if I told you we’ve added a new layer to the local flavour?
Right here at Par Market, we’re shaking things up with something different: Jamaican coffee in Cornwall, roasted with love and served with a smile. Inspired by the smooth, rich taste of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, we created Rasta Roast to bring that island spirit to the Cornish coast.
We’re talking bold brews, tropical aromas, and Bob Marley on the speakers—because coffee should be fun, not just functional.
Why We’re the Best Coffee Shop in Cornwall
I won’t pretend we’re the only good coffee shop around. But I will say this: nobody does it quite like us.
Here’s what sets Rasta Roast apart:
Small-batch roasting with quality at the heart of every cup
Eco-friendly packaging (because we love Earth almost as much as we love espresso)
A vibe that’s more “tropical holiday” than “grab-and-go”
Friendly service where you’re treated like family, not a queue number
And don’t be surprised if you hear someone shouting “Ya Mon!” with their latte order. It’s just how we do things here.
Explore Our Artisan Coffee Menu
Let’s talk beans. We roast and serve some of the finest specialty coffee in Cornwall, and we ship it nationwide too (more on that in a minute).
Here’s what you’ll find in-store and online:
☕ Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee;World-famous for its smooth body and mild flavour. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time.
☕ The Rastafarrian Blend;Our house favourite. Rich, complex, and guaranteed to perk up your morning.
☕ Ethiopian Yirgacheffe;Bright, citrusy, and floral—perfect if you like your coffee with a bit of flair.
We roast everything fresh and serve with that laid-back, feel-good energy that Rasta Roast is all about.
Sweet Treats That Pair Perfectly With Coffee
Coffee is great. Coffee with a gooey brownie or buttery biscuit? Even better.
We’ve teamed up with local bakers to bring you some outrageously good treats that go hand-in-hand with our blends:
Jamaican Rum & Ginger Brownies – Moist, rich, and just cheeky enough.
Coconut & Ginger Cookies – Zesty and tropical.
Cornish Shortbread with Salted Caramel – A perfect pairing with our Rasta Blend.
Warning: they go fast. Like, really fast. Get in early or prepare for disappointment (and the smell of brownies you missed out on).
A Cornwall Coffee Shop with Caribbean Vibes
One thing we hear all the time is: “This place has such a good energy.”
And it’s true—we’ve built Rasta Roast to be more than a coffee shop. It’s a space where people chat, laugh, listen to music, and chill. Whether you’re a tourist, a local, or someone who just stumbled in looking for Wi-Fi and ended up staying for the espresso, you’re welcome here.
And if you’re lucky, I might even hit you with a terrible coffee pun. (Like “You mocha me crazy!” … No? I’ll see myself out.)

What Makes Our Beans Special: Roasted with Love
We roast in small batches because we believe freshness matters. Each bean gets the attention it deserves—from sourcing to roasting to sealing.
Our goal? To bring you the kind of coffee that turns “just another Monday” into something worth waking up for.
Locals and Tourists Agree: Rasta Roast Is a Must-Visit
We’ve had people from London, Leeds, Liverpool and Lisbon swing by Par Market just to try our coffee. (Seriously, we had someone plan their holiday route around us. Legends.)

Final Thoughts from Ian
Running Rasta Roast isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. I love roasting coffee. I love chatting with customers. And I really love seeing someone take that first sip of Blue Mountain and go: “Whoa.”
So whether you’re down in Cornwall and want to swing by for a brew, or you’re elsewhere in the UK and want to bring the flavour to your home—we’re here for you.
Coffee should be more than a routine. It should be a ritual. A moment of joy. A daily vacation.A warm hug… with caffeine.
Big love,Ian ☕🇯🇲Owner – Rasta Roast Coffee Shop
