A Light-Hearted Guide to Sippin’ Island Vibes in the Southwest
When you think of Cornwall, you probably picture golden beaches, cream teas, and more pasties than you can shake a pastry brush at. But what if we told you that nestled among the seagulls and surfboards is a little taste of the Caribbean? That’s right—Jamaican coffee culture is alive and brewing in Cornwall, and we at Rasta Roast Coffee Shop are leading the revolution… one smooth sip at a time.

🌞 Rasta Roast Coffee – St Austell’s Little Slice of Jamaica
Tucked away in the bustling Par Market, Rasta Roast isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a vibe. Think reggae beats, laughter in the air, and the sweet aroma of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee floating through the market like a warm tropical breeze.
You’ll likely spot us by the colourful flags, the sound of Bob Marley echoing softly (or loudly—depends on the mood), and our founder Ian, chatting with customers like they’re old friends. Because let’s be honest—they probably are.
🏆 Our Claim to Fame:
Smooth, rich online Jamaican coffee available in-store and delivered to your door
Small batch roasted with island love and Cornish precision
Eco-friendly packaging, because we love the Earth almost as much as we love caffeine
Oh, and we’ve got jokes. Well… coffee puns at least. (“Espress-o yourself!” Anyone? No? We’ll work on it.)
🍪 Coffee Pairings That’ll Change Your Morning Game
Okay, now let’s talk treats. Because what’s a bold cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain or Ethiopian brew without a little something sweet on the side?
Here at Rasta Roast, we don’t just serve coffee—we serve coffee pairings made in dessert heaven.
🍫 Fudgy Jamaican Rum and ginger Brownies + Blue Mountain Brew
Yes, we said rum brownies. They’re rich, gooey, and have just enough island kick to make you close your eyes and say, “Yessss.” Pair them with a smooth, chocolatey cup of Blue Mountain and you’ve got yourself a snack worthy of royalty—or at least a solid nap afterward.
🍪 Coconut & Ginger Cookies + Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
These cookies are tropical, zesty, and full of good vibes—kind of like your auntie at a dancehall party. They go brilliantly with Ethiopian coffee, especially the floral and citrusy notes that make the combo feel like a morning beach party for your mouth.
🍯 Tom's Cornish Shortbread + The Rasta Blend
This one’s for the rule breakers. We mix cultures, flavours, and a little mischief into our Rasta Blend, and nothing complements it better than buttery shortbread with a salted caramel drizzle. It’s like Cornwall meets Kingston with dessert in between.
Fun Fact: All our brownies and cookies are made locally and go fast—so don’t say we didn’t warn you.🤔 Let’s Be Honest… Nobody Does It Like Rasta Roast

At Rasta Roast, we don’t just serve coffee. We serve culture, community, and the occasional terrible pun.
Whether you’re in the market for:
A perfectly brewed cup of Blue Mountain coffee
Some good convo and good music
Or just want to say “ya mon” without being judged
…we’ve got you.
And if you’re not local? No stress. You can grab our online Jamaican coffee and have it delivered to your home, office, or secret coffee shrine—wherever you need the good stuff.
😂 Fun Fact Corner (Because Blogs Shouldn’t Be Boring)
Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans are so good, they’ve been used as a base for some of the world’s most expensive blends.
The Par Market’s Wi-Fi is strong, but our espresso is stronger.
Ian once tried to roast beans with a hairdryer during a power outage. It… didn’t go well.
Drinking our coffee may cause spontaneous reggae dancing. Side effects include joy, alertness, and uncontrollable smiling.
