A popular coffee shop and café in Helston has announced it is moving to a new location in the town.
Natasha Mossayebi, owner of the Coffee Hut Helston, shared the news on Facebook yesterday evening, saying she “couldn’t be happier.”
The coffee shop café is currently based in the entrance area to Fatty’s Barbers, at the top of Coinagehall Street.
However, it will soon be moving to its own, dedicated shop across the road, in the Coinage Ope alleyway that leads to the Tyacke Road car park.
Natasha said this not only had the advantage of being able to add more seating inside, but also meant she could put a couple tables and chairs outside.
It is also just a few steps away from the Sunken Garden area, where many people already take their takeaway food and drinks from the café.
Announcing the move, Natasha said: “Big news! We are moving! At the end of June our lovely hut will be expanding and moving to Coinage Ope in Helston, and I literally couldn’t be happier.
“We’ll have more seating, a kitchen space, some outside seating, disabled access, and the benefit of the green and sunken garden next door so you can all enjoy a yummy Hut lunch of coffee in the sunshine – what a dream!”
She said the bigger space would allow for more customers and the chance to offer a wider variety of food, adding that she also planned to run more workshops, circles, evening events and children’s activities from the new and improved Coffee Hut.
“We are beyond excited and promise to keep you posted every step of the way. Here’s to the growth of our lovely, happy Hut,” she added.

Natasha opened the Coffee Hut in Helston just over four years ago.
In recent months she has been using her platform as a café owner to highlight the fight for women living in Iran and the country’s human rights issues, as part of the national movement Cook for Iran.
Natasha, who has family in Iran, is serving one of her favourite Persian dishes in the café each week, to keep the issue in the public’s awareness.
She also runs a ‘pay it forward’ scheme, where people can buy an extra cup of coffee or meal that can then be claimed by someone who needs it.
