Windows Smashed Again: Can the Phoenix Café in St Just Recover?

Community member launches fundraiser to help with repairs

The Phoenix Café in St Just has fallen victim to vandalism for the second time, leaving all of its windows smashed in.

The family-run café, known for its homemade gluten-free bakes and welcoming atmosphere, is now facing the cost of replacing its windows — again.

Support from next door

Liv, who rents a nearby workshop space from café owners Jay and Tammy, has launched a fundraiser to help cover the costs of repairs.

“I’ve gotten to know the Phoenix Cafe family and it has become a familiar, safe place, as it is for many others,” said Liv.

The target is to raise £600 to fit the café with Marine Perspex windows, which are stronger and more durable than glass.

A pillar in the community

Describing the café as a safe and friendly space, Liv said, “They are a lovely family run business, and Tammy bakes the most delicious gluten free homemade goodies.”

All money raised will go directly to Jay and Tammy to help with the cost of new windows.

Liv added, “The Phoenix cafe has become a pillar in the St Just community. Now I’d like to show them that the community has got their back.”
