Bolla CAFE • DELI • BOTTLE SHOP Poké thrived, and from here, the ideas of the perfect cafe started to grow.
(2)

As many of you know, Bolla started it’s journey as Poké Food - a small, homerun food delivery business based on the principles of good nutrition and delicious world food. Bolla founder Jaime started Poké from her home kitchen in December 2019 with the dream of not only supporting people’s nutrition and fitness goals - but doing it with delicious food. After years of working in the catering and eve

nts industry, the aim was to cater events and fitness competitions, but when a certain pandemic took over, home deliveries took centre stage. Desperate for the dining out experience, customers across West Cornwall ordered grazing platters, summer rolls, bao buns and bottles of organic wine from Poke for all their special events - from birthdays to Zoom parties, picnics to New Year’s celebrations - and almost every customer became a fan and regular customer of this personalised, fully catered service. In February 2023, the opportunity to take on a small but mighty cafe space within The Shipyard Market arose, and Jaime jumped at the chance. Having previously been the legendary Radish Cafe, there were big shoes to fill, but throughout the year Jaime and her team honed the perfect menu, learnt what the locals wanted and needed from this little cafe, and quickly became a destination for locals, tourists, foodies and coffee lovers across Cornwall. The addition of natural wines and a deli full of ingredients from across the globe only added to the lure of Poké food - and soon, it was time for a rebrand as the business evolved: Bolla was born.

GIN TASTING AT BOLLA 💫

Join us at Bolla for an evening with Pocketful of Stones.

On the 30th April, 6–8pm, we’ll be hosting a laid-back gin tasting and exploring a selection of beautiful blends, the stories behind them, with plenty to sip + chat about.

G+T on arrival, then a guided tasting (with pairings), a bit of know-how on how to taste, and everything from landscape to still to glass. We’ll keep you going with Bolla snacks alongside.

£21pp — includes snacks

If you’re feeling peckish, you can pre-order food (same as our wine tastings). And if you find a favourite — you probably will, there will be discounts on bottles to take home on the night.

Ticket includes gin tasting only. Food can be added after booking.

There’s no perfect way to say this, so I’ll just say it: Bolla is up for sale.

What started as an idea (one that felt equal parts exciting and terrifying) slowly turned into something far bigger than I ever imagined. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being just a business. It became a neighbourhood, a community, a family. A space filled with energy, people, stories, and moments I’ll carry with me for life.

There have been long days, early mornings, late nights, plenty of unknowns, and a lot of learning as I went. But in between all of that has been so much good, the kind you can’t plan for. The conversations, the familiar faces, the team who stood beside me and made it what it is. And I have to say, none of it would have been what it is without Luci, who was instrumental in shaping Bolla into what it became. Building this alongside one of your closest friends is something I’ll never take for granted, it’s been a real privilege.

So why now? Because sometimes you just know when it’s time to turn the page.

I’ve got some exciting things ahead, things that feel right for where I’m heading next, and while I’m not quite ready to share just yet, I promise it won’t be long.

Letting go of Bolla isn’t easy. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of. But that’s also what makes it the right time to hand it over, to someone new who can bring their own vision, energy, and ideas to it.
To everyone who’s supported Bolla in any way, whether you’ve been there from the start or just recently found us, thank you. You’ve made this experience far more special than I could have imagined.

Here’s to everything Bolla has been, and everything that’s still to come. 🥂 💫🫶
