Baker Tom in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

That…is what a sausage roll should be…delicious, massive…great value! Serving cans of Cornish Orchards soft drinks with apple and rhubarb highly recommended…

My husband walked to Truro football club to visit the mobile bread van last Sunday. Loads of bread available & bread flour also! Well managed, good queuing system, friendly staff. The bread, as always, was delicious. Today I’ve finished off the last loaf with toast in bed & lashings of butter!

Went for a birthday celebration. Staff were really kind and helpful. Happy to accommodate our requests and service with a smile. And, as always, amazingly delicious bread 😋

Takes me 30 in to drive to B.Tom but always worth it. The endless toast for £2.00 is a must but this time we went for the Christmas lunch. Whow has to be better than Mum would Make. Delicious turkey, 4 types of veg, 5 roasties , y.pud, three pigs in blankets and a large gravy boat of yummy gravy. What not to love.

Family who live here recommended this place as can’t miss it! Not sure why really ? It was busy and looked initially great . However the cracks soon appeared- ordered a bap with bacon and halloumi, from the menu and the waitress didn’t know what halloumi was? They obviously don’t know how to cook it either as what arrived was literally the smallest ( I said when my roll arrived , sorry I ordered halloumi also to which after looking hard I saw it !) most anaemic looking bit of limp cheese Iv ever seen . Along with some cold, fatty, grey bacon and surrounded by a dry, inedible “ brioche “ bun, it was the saddest breakfast Iv had in a long while! Husband has the baby breakfast which was literally nothing more than average and to which he said “ glad I didn’t order the bigger one as at least this is cheap”. Toast was nice thank god, so I ate this and left wishing I’d had a burger van bap. Didn’t make a complaint at the time as the staff were working hard and it was only pennies at the end of the day . My uneaten bap will say it all when the clear up I’m sure .

Lovely place to go fro breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately it is so popular you can struggle to get in. The bathroom is absolutely amazing. The breads are delicious and the place itself although small is very comfortable. We have had breakfast a few times and never been dissapointed. The car park is very small and always full but you can order over the phone and collect food.

Breakfast or lunch is superb on this cafe on an industrial estate. Service is superb and a wide range of food including vegetarian and vegan. Endless toast with breakfast( help yourself).

I’ve been visiting the St Austell shop daily recently and absolutely love the meal deal for a quick lunch treat. A great selection of sandwiches and the staff are always happy to make anything to order. The shop is well layed out and the staff are knowledgeable of all the products and always happy to help and talk through items which is a lovely touch. PLEASE stay in St Austell, we need more of this as everything is closing recently.

And there goes the diet.... 🤤 Found this by accident, was hungry and saw it pop up on my sat nav. Was expecting just a typical bakery not an actual fully working factory. The food was amazing, can you get fresher than this. I’m writing this review contemplating whether to buy the amazing giant Chelsea bun that is staring at me along with everything else. Will be back. Great area as well and lovely breakfast buttie.

cant say much at min, but will do when ive seeked advice. Not the best place and conditions to work in, in fact, filthy

Lovely bread cakes rolls French stick tea cakes scones etc. We have all really enjoyed the freshly baked goodies whilst on our holiday... 👍

Had a lovely breakfast at baker toms today. Chose the vegan baker option basically because I love smashed avocado. It was delicious. Highly recommend a visit

A friend and myself visiited Baker Tom's for early breakfast (9ish) and the staff were busy++ and the cafe/resturant quiet which we liked. We placed our order - bacon and egg rolls with tea/coffee which was served in a friendly manner by staff. The breakfast was excellent, really enjoyed it and will be return for my 3rd visiit soon. A very friendly, spotless clean and inviting to say nothing of the smell from freshly baked bread (all sorts).

Came here with my wife and young kids. Great veggie options, all breakfasts came with endless toast and toppings. Would happily come here again just for the sourdough toast and Jam. Friendly and helpful staff too

My 1st visit to Barker Tom's Cafe at Redruth for breakfast with my friend. The staff were busy baking fresh bread,cakes and serving customers in a very friendly atmosphere and spotless clean. The Bacon and Egg sandwich was delightful (Back Bacon x2) with a love cooked fried egg which when cut allowed the york to run. Really tasty with no fat/oil so even better. The fresh bread was to die for, really tasty and worth buying a loaf to bring home. Sure will visit again.

I have given this cafe 5 stars previously but today i was very disappointed.The cafe was absolutely freezin (had to eat with my coat on) and looked in need of a clean.My table was sticky and grubby,the sauce bottle was disgusting. The bacon was inedible,all fat,and the sausage tasted ok but looked pale and unappetising. My last comment i suppose is more of a question...why have a toaster that doesn’t toast? My money will be spent elsewhere

I've been here for lunch on many occasions and have never left disappointed. Everything on the menu is delicious but and the service is impeccable. If you haven't been then make it you mission to go this week.

We both had the large “baker Tom” breakfast, the bacon, sausages and hogs pudding were all really good quality and as a whole the breakfast was all cooked extremely well, we loved the unlimited toast.

Visited today with my wife and son and absolutely loved the place. Staff were so friendly, service was fast and our pasties were practically perfect! Picked up a couple of Kernow Curls and devoured them on a walk a few hours later, beautiful!

Does the owner ever get wind of complaints I wonder. If it was my business I would want to be made aware of continuous failings by his staff!

Really lovely breakfasts this morning - Baby Baker was just right with a slice of toast and a good cup of coffee - yum

had toast, pastries and french toast to eat in, all really tasty. bought bread to go again superb quality. definitely will visit again. staff were friendly. for how busy it was service was prompt

I found the pasties to be a little tasteless they could have been better, the staff were nice and friendly

Is Baker Tom just trading on his reputation now? We stopped in yesterday for lunch and won't make that mistake again. My partner ordered the BLT which came without the tomato! I had the full english which was a mixed bag of dissapointments,over cooked sausage,hard tomato,two hard fried eggs and weird mushrooms.The staff don't seem to have much pride in their work. You can get this quality of food in most greasy spoons. If you want to experience how good a well run bakery cafe can be then visit De Barra over on the Roseland or head to Newquay for the Pavillion Bakery. Both are great cafes with delicious food and bread that Baker Tom could only dream of making.

Been here a few times and the food is generally pretty good. The pasties could do with a little more seasoning but a lot of that is personal opinion.

To meet up with friends have a great coffee and breakfast. The bread here is just amazing great choice baked in front of you and when you take it home it lasts Anne lasts and taste like proper bread. Great deal each day for a coffee and brioche bacon bap. Lovely Woodburner there as well.

The Staff here are always friendly, the atmosphere bright and cheerful. Visit every week after a workout at the local leisure centre for a much needed coffee, which is always good ! Obviously as it is a working bakery the cakes etc are tempting!

We have used Baker Tom on several ocassions and enjoyed various breakfasts and take away sandwiches. There is always plenty of variety to choose from and the coffee is amazing. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit.

This used to be my fav place for breakfast last 2 times were horrendous cold breakfast eggs burnt toaster took forever won't be going back again.

Had breakfast here before not long after it opened and it was nice and also have had a bacon roll and coffee to take away when working near by but my wife and I had a breckfast here this week and it was awful everything but the eggs was lukewarm warm the toaster takes ages to toast the coffee was good but I feel the quality and customer service has gone down hill a lot .

We heard good reports about Baker Toms Bread and called in for a loaf, but decided to stay for a bite and decided on a pasty and a pot of tea ,very happy with our choice and quick service .I liked the breakfast description stating "endless toast" with usual components.(the toaster was on the counter for customers requirements) pancakes are also on offer.

Baker Toms is a great local business, really friendly service often offering great value deals on surplus products. Great cheese twists!

Had a fantastic full English breakfast and my wife and daughter both had pancakes. Very impressed excellent quality and great value for money. Service was friendly and everything was cooked to order.

Been here a few times during the day for a sandwich which are always great. Had breakfast while we wait for car to be ready. As awesome as ever. I had the pancakes with bacon and my wife had the small cooked breakfast with unlimited toast. Both brilliant. 10 out of 10, would bang.

Pleasant cafe. Generous servings of delicious food at very reasonable prices. Varied choice. Good service. Have been before and will definitely visit again.

Heard so much about baker toms bakery so as I had an appointment popped in and fancied some good old fresh bread sandwich .

Visited after going to Jump trampolining. First time I've been to either! Was shocked by the generous size of the baguette! I had lemon chicken...was Reeelly yummy. Come with crisps. And only £3.95...bargain! All the staff were so friendly was really nice. Thanks!

Really nice food and you can see the bakers etc working hard in the background. Its let down by that serving staff, I appreciate you have to queue but its frustrating when you get to front of queue then the woman decides to go and clean tables taking 5 minutes and does not even apologise and is very surly (lunchtime 8\2) We have been going for lunch twice a week for a long time now but it is noticeable that customer service has become poor. Not a problem as we have decided to use another lunchtime venue

Popped in for coffee and breakfast. Very nice food and lovely atmosphere. Wood burner in the corner and friendly service. Recommended.

I always love going to Baker Tom’s in Pool. It’s comfortable, friendly and has a great atmosphere. The food - particularly the bread related products - is excellent. The goats cheese and rosemary focaccia must be a world leader! My only wish is that they did breakfast all day.

Quite often come here on a Saturday morning and haven't been disappointed yet! For two people we can have a large pot of tea, sausage+ bacon bap and a egg+ bacon for around £10. Nice log burner to keep you warm. Would recommend

The visit to BT today was as good as ever but we decided to try the Xmas meal for a treat... I had the Veggie option and she had the beef; both were brilliant and we followed it up with a shared chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding (with the generous dollop of clotted cream) - so glad we shared one as neither of us could have managed a whole one each ! Usual great service and entertainment watching the next load of bread being created... just wonderful !

Superb breakfast and amazing coffee sat next to wood burner. Really is a super find on an industrial estate.

The food, coffee is good and good value too. Service is painfully slow. 15 mins to get two cafe lates...

A good selection of freshly made food. It has seating inside (probably seats up to 40 people) and they coffee...

Called there a week ago with my mother and we had a really nice lunch - a gorgeous thick vegetable stew with a herby cheese scone on top.

Baker Tom's bread as well as sweet and savoury goods are all worth a detour to buy. This cafe is based in the industrial estate where you can watch the goods being made. It is staffed by friendly folk and it seemed to be frequented by locals of all ages retired and young as well as people popping in from their workplaces in adjoining units.The breakfast menu served until midday was varied including smoked salmon and bacon butties. You can make your own toast . We had for lunch the hearty beef stew stacked with winter vegetables and topped with a cheese scone. Really tasty, filling and excellent value at less than £7. Very limited choice, but who needs choice when what is served is so tasty and cheap.Parking outside and fresh bakery goods on sale. Visit the National Trust mines nearby afterwards.

Love this place, great rustic decor, great staff and the best breakfasts! The bread is yummy. So glad we found this place on such a rainy day :)

Baker Tom's serves up freshly baked goodies, the café always smells heavenly! I've been here a few time to meet friends for coffee and lunch. Reasonably priced too.

Me and the wife went back for breafast as the last time was not so good.Baker Tom's have up there game the breakfast was great with all fresh produce.Service was great even when busy. Will be back and pass the word how great the place is.

Called into Toms bakery had a bacon roll and a cup of tea, highly recommended. Would certainly recommend as all items of food are freshly cooked and the bakery items look delicious.

Very disappointed with my breakfast seems to of gone down hill since my last breakfast here.Looks like the sausages and bacon had been sitting in a Bain Marie so dry like warm.The bacon was warm and looked like it had been cooked in a dirty pan as had black bits on it.Eggs over cooked.Best thing was the endless toast.

Met my Brother there for lunch, the food was so tasty, my Husband had the lemon chicken mayo crusty baguette and said it was packed full of chicken breast and the lemon mayo was tangy , the pasty was juicy with lovely crumbly pastry, flapjack was lush and our coffee's were delicious. High quality food and great service, better than any high street coffee shop, we will most definitely be going back. The table next to us had the roast and it looked great ,all local produce to.

8-11 coffee and a bacon roll £2 . Where else can you go to get this . Home made cakes are delicious. Very reasonable prices

A mid day treat,the food was excellent,tasty, different, staff good, nice seating area,we had the fruit eggy bread with bacon and maple syrup, so tasty,

we visited today for you sons birthday as he recommended it. staff friendly and great food value for money.

My friend and our 2 children went here for breakfast and we were very surprised. The food was lovely and plentiful. The cafe area was very clean and all the staff were very friendly. The only thing I would say is that they don't have high chairs. It isn't the largest of cafes so I can see why they don't have them but they could do with a few of them as it did make eating a bit tricky as our little ones kept sliding off the seats. I will definitely recommend Baker Toms to my friends but as most of them have young children they may be put off due to the lack of high chairs. I'm sure my friend and I will return.

We eat here regularly and there's never been an occasion when we've been disappointed. We usually have breakfasts, which are amazing, and the cafe/restaurant has a lovely, relaxed feel to it. Staff are great and it's somewhere we go time and time again. Highly recommend all the breakfasts (I've eaten my way through most of them!) and I really love the stack of pancakes with berries, utterly delicious! And lovely loaves of freshly baked bread to buy too :-) We'll be back again no doubt!

A regular stop for me in the mornings to pick up a bacon bap and coffee when I set off on a long journey.Yes a bacon roll is surely pretty standard? Well no because you've got to not only source good quality bacon but cook it properly, and coupled with a freshly baked brioche bap, it's a great combination.Toms also serve a good full English and great baguettes. Well work a visit and good value for money at not a lot more than you'd pay at subway or Mc Ds.

Informal with great food - appetising choices.Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere. Lovely bread.A regular haunt.

Went here for breakfast and had a coffee and a bacon roll, the bacon roll was outstanding! There's parking just outside so it's an easy trip.

Every single time, my husband and I visit Family in Redruth, we stop by and have delicious breakfast. My husband loves eggy bread and I very much enjoy the poached eggs and halumi. Great staff, very friendly and helpful as well. We will be back.

Needed a quick lunch and this was an ideal place.Lovely hot homemade soup served with a fresh light roll with plenty of butter. Perfect for a freezing cold day.The cakes were too tempting so we all succumbed and had a great cup of coffee to go with them.We even bought a ciabatta loaf home to take home!We will be back!!

Purchased a custard tart (Ganesh)from the new shop in Causewayhead.Unbearably sweet .All of society needs to reduce their use of sugar for their own good .I couldn't finish my shared half as it was horribly sweetWill not be purchasing again

Went here for breakfast and was really very impressed. My favourite bit was the endless toast. Plenty of room, food is hot and tasty, served fairly quickly. Just avoid 10.30am on a Friday as all the builders come in and then you have to wait. Not the cafes fault though so won't knock off a point for that.

Baker toms drive through what a good idea how to collect your fresh bread or must say a pasty. Again you can use the shop or drive through. Cheap pasty and sandwitches so a must to try.

A great choice for breakfast. Our children love the endless toast. It's a vibrant and busy place, so full of life.

The cafes that you generally associate with industrial estates locations are is "a greasy spoon" style cafe. Baker Toms breaks simply isn't one of thoseGreat little cafe. Friendly staff and the coffee wasn't bad either. Nice to see the bread making process going on in the background.Good little find.

Baker Tom was recommended to us by the lady at East Pool Mine. I have a swallowing problem and luckily they were serving soup for lunch so was perfect and the soup was lovely. My husband also had a very nice lunch. Many thanks, we shall come again when we come back next year. They also serve other lovely cakes and pasties. Service was quick too and great value for money. Brilliant recommendation from East Pool Mine well done!

Dropped in today for my favorite bread,just eaten a lot of it!...splendid ,well done.Thank you for your reply re the Pasties and see from a further review that they have improved. Will not take you up for your generous offer of a free breakfast,my review it sems has solved the problem which was the whole reason for it.many thaks for the offer.

Well still a great pasty. Plenty of parking avaliable. Great and friendly staff do every thing you would require from a bakery.

Me and my friend went for breakfast... She is a food and health and saftey consultant... Very impressed fresh produce eggs that were bright orange not dull yellow... I have been many times and never been dissapionted excellent place well done to all staff always welcoming and smiley...

Every month or sometimes more often I pop in with my brother who is a happy local town councillor. We usually arrive in the morning and have a full large breakfast and all you can make and eat toast which by the way never change. The breakfast is top quality and you can taste it is all local not bookers or Tescos. I help restaurants locally improve numbers and quality and make them over also. On this case instead of saying this is not good enough I will explain and also offer a solution for free. Although the food and staff are great when you come in its confusing what is on and what is off today and also left. There's a board on the wall and bits of POS but I've not seen a table menu. Or been ever handed one. Maybe you should have a Baker Toms app. Also for Customers to see before arriving of what's on specials today or even a group text to all. Build also a good client database and reward loyalty. Also the app would be great for ordering for B2B. You have one till at the moment I believe but a few iPad tills and freedom for staff to mingle with customers more is also great for both business and customers. Other ideas to help also but don't get much time sadly as own business takes up a lot of time. Hope to see you all again soon and keep up the great atmosphere, smiles and delectable food.

Have been to Baker Toms a few times, today I had the pancakes with summer fruits & yoghurt, they are to die for!Lovely friendly place & great staff

Today we bought two Baker Toms Large pasties....mine Cheese hers Beef,both pretty looking but that is where it stops. Almost the size of cocktail pasty with minimal fillings and taste.Come on Baker Tom.

A lovely relaxed feeling for lunch with friends. Log burner gives a cosy feel and the food is delicious. A good range of savoury and sweet treats. Recommend highly

Baker Tom is in the middle of a business park so is very popular with the businesses around the area as they do a take out service for sandwiches etc. They make to order so you can wait while they do it and take your goodies off to the beach. There is also a seating area, it is not the biggest place so does get full up very quickly. The staff are always friendly and the breakfast is lovely there, with extra toast if you can fit it in. There is a variety of breads and bread products that you can buy to take home too. Unfortunately there is only a small car-park so you can find you have to wait for a space.The kitchen is totally open so you see everything being prepared and they must have the poshest toilet in Cornwall.

Order before 10 am and the price of your bacon roll and coffee is much cheaper!!!! We love it! Artisan bread and decent bacon, it gets busy though so be prepared to wait.

I have attended various courses at the Health Promotion Service Offices & highly recommend Baker Toms. They have a wonderful selection of artisan breads. I always have my lunch there & the selection & the price paid also very good. One highlight for me is that you can see the staff working, preparing food & they are also always to very happy. It is not often that you can get serenaded whilst waiting to pay for your meal

After months of friends raving about the place we decided to try it for lunch. What an eye opener! It was very busy, which we took to be a good sign but the staff were stressed and rushed you through as quickly as they could. There was minimal interaction and no conversation, nor did they take my son's indecision about what to have well. The pastys were greasy and very small for the money. THe sandwiches looked great in the display counter but what I had was not anywhere near as good. My son's sausage rolls were hard and the sausage inside tasted strange.We will not be going back as the quality food was not good enough to compensate for the poor service.

If this was larger and quieter, it would an introvert's paradise, with its endless array of sumptuous freshly baked bread and awesome soup, not to mention the rest of the menu. From a corner, you can watch the bakers at work, and take your time, maybe pen a novel or two. If only everybody wasn't there as well, chattering away, it would be perfect. I guess the secret is out.. One of the best reasons to visit the area, in our book.

Found this again by a friend's recommendation - a real treat for an early breakfast, lovely staff, yummy breakfast, great bread too

Service was good , had cake and coffee , best cup of milky coffee I had for ages , lovely and hot .met up with a few friends , we weren't rushed at all . Staff were very friendly ..

As a local chef I have many good comments about Baker Toms so I went and tried the breakfast with my wife I had the eggy bread and my wife had the veggi breakfast it was great coffee was great and the service of the ladies was second to none.Also nice toilet .

A got to go to Baker Toms for a pasty also they make a good bacon roll. Easy to find opposite bookers cash and carry. Good size car park and reasonable priced.

On first look this industrial unit did not appeal, my wife wondered where I was taking her! Inside it is relaxed, informal and inviting. We had the most amazing breakfast which was good value. The bread was fab, as was the rest of the food. Lots of helping yourself but it just adds to the experience.

Really good stuff, pasties, baguettes, rolls, cakes etc. Well filled with good quality ingredients. The bread is lovely. Often stop for a quick lunch.

Had an amazing bacon roll & a coffee for £2. The roll was light & fluffy & filled with a generous amount of bacon. Highly recommended.

Having heard of the wonderful food form Baker Tom's from lots of local word of mouth references we stopped off to buy pasties for lunch. It was really disappointing to get them home to find the pastry overcooked as if it had been kept hot for too long... the filling was pleasant but the crust, sadly rock hard and inedible. The dog enjoyed the treat. Perhaps we just caught them on a bad time - will try again at a different time of day.

Had a fantastic lunch here! Huge portions which i love and good value, would definately reccommend to anyone!

Popped in for a coffee on the way home from hospital. Staff seemed friendly, service was good, although we didn't want anything to eat at this visit there seemed to be a good range of cakes on offer, the breads looked tasty too. Will certainly be going back for a light lunch or maybe one of the breakfast offerings.

The best veggie breakfast ever! Halloumi, mushrooms and poached eggs on carrot & thyme bread, so delicious! Makes a nice change from just vegetarian sausages. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his 'Baker Tom' full English fry up too.

Baker Tom's restaurant/snack bar and supplier of Artisan Bread. I was brought up in a bakery and the smell of fresh bread always gets my juices flowing. In this unusual setting you find a fabulous range of freshly made bread and Breakfast and Lunch menus for those who want a little bit of unusual substance to their food. A full range of Tea, Coffee and soft drinks is also available. There is nothing over the top about Baker Tom's but when you have experienced a breakfast, a lunchtime Fucaccia BLT or even just a bowl of soup and a roll, you will, I am sure appreciate the ambience.Alternatively you can just Take it Away.

Called in today for the first time for a pasty to take away, it was busy and the staff were rushing around a bit.My pasty was not the best I have ever had but cake and bread looked good.Easy free parking and handy to pull in.

The Pool cafe, situated within an industrial estate, (don’t let this put you off) is a busy wee place with lovely staff who tend to stay for the long duration. Unlike many places in the hospitality industry, staff turnover is minimally healthy. Always a good sign! There is a terrific, informal, friendly vibe here always. Simple, very reasonably priced, homemade food, cakes, bread, condiments & other culinary delights, using locally sourced produce. I love visiting Baker Toms at any time of day. One of my favourites after an early morning Pilates class is to arrive at 9am for breakfast. Try the eggy bread with bacon & maple syrup. . . Whoop, whoop! or a bacon & sausage brioche roll . . . divine! No indigestion whatsoever! The almond croissants are packed with non-chemically enhanced marzipan. Breads of every description & to suit a myriad of tastes are always available. Had Homity pie (WOW!) for lunch on Thursday, served with simple rocket, cucumber & tomato drizzled with Balsamic. Most satisfactory indeed! Quality coffee & tea served here always with a smile. .

Went for lunch at ur cafe this Saturday with my wife not happy with the service wanted fresh sandwiches got take away selection and some cheap crisps nothing else had to remind the staff I ordered pot of tea gone down hill cheap cafe with high prices not going back

What a great place! We called in as we passed and were delighted with the food. Hearty and wholesome. Simple but delicious. Things like homemade quiche and salad, hommity pie (delicious!) baked potatoes, soup and roll etc. The portion sizes were great and the food freshly cooked. The dining area is simple and adds to the charm the staff were really courteous and friendly. It seemed very popular. Try it if you're in the area you won't be disappointed.

Working locally I visit Baker Tom's fairly often, most of the staff are miserable as sin and couldn't be less helpful if they tried. I only go now for the bacon roll in the morning, not worth the hassle of dealing with miserable, rude and useless staff. Pasties are not great. Squashed and not a good example of a Cornish Pasty and way overpriced.

Great find for early morning coffee and a bacon sandwich. Bought bread for later too (cinnamon and raisin bread particularly good!) We are sure to become regulars whenever we are in Cornwall!

Was taken here by my daughter and was well impressed. Bacon roll and a coffee. The bread is lovely and the bacon cooked just right. You can watch the bakers in action and the service is very friendly. A very busy place with lots of local workers coming and going.There is a lunch menu and you can buy bits and pieces related to the bakery. Clean toilets and plenty of parking outside. All in all a good place for decent food and at a good price.
