Have you jumped on the matcha trend yet? 🤔

From fruity flavours to sweet summer specials, you can find delicious matcha drinks being served in cafés across Our Great Little City, including Pollen, Taupe Cakery, Cafe.Uneeka, Zafiros Bar & Restaurant and more!

One of our team recently tried this strawberry jam iced matcha from Pollen, and it was the perfect refreshing treat while relaxing in Victoria Gardens 🍓

🪄 looking for magic hands! 🪄 (we are hiring!)
firstly, hello! happy new year to you all! we’ve been quiet… and we’ve missed you!
but guess what, the wheels have already started turning in prep for our reopening this spring for season 6.0. ✨

this year, we are looking to hire a manager for the season. a special sort of person with some magic to them ✨ you’ll be over the age of 21, experienced to supervisor or manager level in hospitality, make coffee to a high standard, and be comfortable running the show and troubleshooting on a day to day basis at pollen - from leading staff, baking, making rotas, keeping up high cleanliness standards, recipe testing, ordering, working busy shifts, quiet shifts and some solo shifts.

the gardens will become your home this summer, your safe space for 30-35hrs per week on a seasonal basis. (bliss).

do you fancy a change, a project? are you well aligned to pollen? starting mid-end of march.

Get in touch to introduce yourself![email protected]

that’s a wrap on season 5.0! ✨ 🍰
well, what a time we’ve had, and how quickly it’s flown?!
it’s a joy to serve you all and to be able to come to work and love what we do every day.

I’ve felt this year like I’ve really got to know some of you properly, and I’ve so enjoyed doing that and providing a space for all sorts of magic and life happenings to occur over something as simple as coffee and cake.
I’m sad that we can’t provide this space for the community all year around, and I hope one day we will build to be able to do that. I’m proud to say that we are SO much more than a coffee shop, and I see examples of how we are needed every single day. ♥️

Wishing you all a gentle winter and see you all in 2026 !

Thank you as always to you our customers, our amazing team this year, suppliers and Truro city council and their teams.

Kimi and the pollen team xox
