Cakebreads in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Still the best pasties in Cornwall & great service from the ladies that run it. We will be back next year!

Such a valuable place in Gorran Haven. Village shop. Post office. Bakery. Eat in. Outside seating. Dog friendly outside NOT allowed in the shop. Stones throw from fish & chips and the beach. Grab a coffee to take to the beach then a hot chocolate on the way back to the car. Staff always lovely and friendly.

Returned as a 58-year-old after holidaying in Gorran every year as a child. Cakebreads is still going strong and the Cornish pasties are just as fabulous and still made by the same family. We also stayed in the flat above once! They now have a little area at the side to sit and enjoy drinks, cakes, cream teas etc. We sat on the beach and dived into our piping hot pasties. They are truly the best ever. Thank you Cakebreads! The Mayes family.

Friendly and welcoming for coffee and cake. Traditional village shop stocking a huge variety of items. Very welcome after walking from Mevagissey along the coastal path

Lovely staff lovely food, and they kept everyone warm after the morning New Year’s Day dip. Highly recommend a visit when in Gorran Haven.

Rocked up with 3 dogs, and took a seat in the covered outdoor area. The breakfasts were large and great quality. Conveniently positioned yards from Goran Beach. The service was excellent and the meals great value. A just visit if you are in the Area . The well stocked shop was really convenient.

What a great little find! A really friendly little place located right near the cove serving lovely fresh beers and snacks. A little covered seating area and dog friendly

The staff have no idea who is doing what with a system in place (if you can call it that) which doesn’t work. You order hot food & drinks in the actual shop but then wait outside to collect your order. The person on the till still serving customers after I put my order in couldn’t get off the till to make my order. 3 other staff members wondering about & filling up shelves. The person on the till could have asked the other 3 staff to take over the till OR make the order. No this didn’t happen so I wait. They then serve 2 other customers and proceed to make all their orders before mine. Am I the invisible customer who floats along with my debit card and then seemly I doesn’t exist. Total lack of team spirit at this place when I heard the older lady say to the girl ‘it’s whoever gets to the coffee machine first’ how childish. So it doesn’t matter how long you wait the order system in none existent! I wonder if it’s volunteers that run this place? Allocate a job & rota to each member because at the moment it’s the customer that suffers. No improvement in recent years. Use the shop as a shop use the outside area to take and pay for food & drinks. I’d expect the older staff to lead by example not be rude and mean to other staff.

Surprised how much they offered given the outside look of a post office. We ate here a few times over our weeks holiday, ranging from cakes to hot pasties and paninis. All the food is great quality, tasty and fresh. Always well staffed, friendly and have the exact essentials you need for a holiday.

Visited twice for lunch. On the first visit the kitchen was closed, but was able to get sandwiches and coffee from the adjacent shop. On the second visit I was able to order hot food. The food is fairly average, but on a hot day it's a great location with shady parasols. Could have sat here all afternoon drinking had I not had to drive! Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Quickly popped in to buy some staple groceries, warm and friendly staff and a good selection of what I wanted. Not overpriced considering it’s a small shop/cafe. Stayed for a coffee and cake too 😋

Despite the well known staffing issues in Cornwall over half term and being very busy every time I visited, the staff were helpful and full of cheer, positively welcoming visitors back to the village. A good selection of food options and a very welcome bar with separate serving so you don't have to queue with the 'shoppers' - can't wait to go back for a little more Rattler :-)

Visited here Jubilee weekend. Lovely little vibe, outdoor bar undercover, attached to a shop. They were exceptionally busy serving lunches but the staff were lovely! We had x3 very tasty paninis and fries (a bit on the expensive side, but what isnt these days!) and a delicious pint of Korev. Couldve sat there watching the world pass by all day. Lovely spot in a beautiful place.

Visit Cakebreads most weeks. This little gem of a place is the most amazing family run business. They go above and beyond to serve the community we have especially during covid achieving more than anyone could’ve wished for. There are pizza nights and alcohol evenings and the best G&Ts in village. If you’re lucky enough you’ll get to meet the owners grandchildren who are often seen helping and greeting patrons they see on a regular basis. This is what makes this business successful-amazing staff, fantastic atmosphere and the hub of the community❤️You will be made to feel most welcome- As for the outrageously inaccurate and hurtful comment below from Nottingham you ate obviously someone who delights in trying to ruin small businesses so hopefully the village will never see you return!!

Stopped for a drink, enjoyed sitting outside for a drink, only fly in ointment was feral kids in a red land rover who were so out of control we think social services should be involved, Dad was too busy drinking. Seemed their mother was working there, so allied to run wild. Several people left because of them. Shame could be good.Food looked good, shame about screaming boys, running wild.

So the bar here us served as part of the shop, its like stepping back (in a fabulous way) to those shops in Ireland that you can buy you bacon and baps for breakfast as you purchase a tuna mayo bap, fries and a pint from the pub/cafe built into it! Food fab, service excellent, beers and ciders well kept and thirst quenching.

Poor experience here, takeaway coffee & Hot Chocolate, paper cup 3/4 full of warm coffee Not NICE, Hot chocolate was dire, very strong and sweet No milk! Sorry guys just not what I am used to expect. This was a poor experience. I did not...

Visited the shop for bread and groceries on Saturday. Excellent bakery, limited provisions from the shop snd a good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks - for wine and beer it’s going to be cheaper overall to go to one of the supermarkets in...

Unexpected find! While in Goran Haven we decided to get a bite to eat at Cakebreads. In all honestly I didn’t have high expectations as it’s a kitchen to the rear of a convenience shop with a little covered seating area. However I was wrong!...

Delicious takeaway lunch food, from a shop that seems unassuming. Lots of variety, we ate cod focaccia rolls and fries, both of which were cooked well. Thanks to the staff :)

From first appearance I really wasn’t sure what the food would be like from here. The store is actually great, bit of a jack of all trades…. Post Office, minimart, paper shop, bakery, and best of all it does AMAZING lunch food to order and...

A lot of variety and priced well, considering they're soo close to the beach! We recommend the crab roll!

Fabulous little place to get your drinks and lunch whilst spending a day on the beach, staff are lovely and very helpful and the bar do some great cocktails to work your way through. Great for picking up your presents to take home too.

Ordered 6 x cheese and onion pasties for when we left Gorron Haven. I received fresh pasties that were normal size. I paid £19.60. I was amazed. £3.26 each for an unexceptional and small pastie.

Good setup to serve customers socially distanced, they thought about their setup to keep everyone safe. Been here 3 days for takeaway food and drinks , all to very good standard and ideally located for the beach.

Another happy week in Gorran and lots of lunches , teas , pizza’s , drinks and groceries purchased from cakebreads ! We all love cakebreads as the food is always fabulous :) Pizzas on the beach was a highlight , fresh strawberries from mevagissey, cakes...

A full English breakfast is such a simple meal, yet this is the better version. Tasty, not greasy, cooked to perfection with high quality ingredients. Staff were friendly and food delivered quickly. Outstanding :)

Coming down off the tops from a cold sunny walk, we were pleased to find Cakebreads open on a winter’s Sunday. Delicious hot paninis with perfect skinny fries and salad, not to mention a proper big mug of tea. Couldn’t have been better.

There really is something for everyone here. We went mid morning and had brunch which included full english breakfast (enormous), vegetarian english breakfast (just as big) and a veggie stack which was a big bun filled with mushroom, veggie sausage, tomatoes etc. All eaten at...

We were in Gorran Haven (been going for year's) and found CakeBreads, been in the shops many time but never in the café as thought it was linked to a B&B, but decided to sit down and have a snack, we chose the chilli nacho's and it was the best we have ever tasted, and plenty of it, the staff and the chef are ultra friendly, this is must for anyone in Gorran Haven...

Had breakfast here watching England rugby game. Good service and hot food. Good atmosphere with locals and tourists together.

Excellent breakfast. Like the choice of 2 sizes. Friendly staff. Also good take away crab sandwiches. Shop always has those little things you ve forgotten/ need. Useful that post office is in the shop too as can get cash out.

Cakebreads is the hub of Gorran Haven as a holiday village, It is not only a bubbly family run shop, but in fact a post office, restaurant, pub and live music venue. The staff are just lovely, who go the extra mile to cater to the needs of the customers, all trained to a high standard without losing the friendly feel. The value of the food is incredible, serving a wide variety of good basic dishes, (the portion sizes are definitely generous)Pizza night, normally hosted on a Friday is a family favourite and never goes a miss! Thank you to the team at Cakbreads who make the holiday that extra bit.

Fantastic staff and everything we needed including delicious fresh daily bread and cakes delivered early...yummy !

We have been to Gorran many times as the children have grown up and we love it . Cakebreads is at the heart of the village and ran by lovely people, an Interrsting shop that has everything you need for a week and the added bonus of the outdoor ( covered) area that has a bar and food which is all excellent. We had breakfast one day and it was large, lovely and excellent quality ! Another day lunch and my crab roll was lovely and fresh :) Weds night was great for a few drinks , live music from a talented local lad and pulled pork to eat . If you go to Gorran go to cakebreads :)

Cafe Bar adjoined to a local shop with lots of food/drink options. Pizza night is a winner with really good home made pizzas priced very reasonably.

Stopped for lunch after walking the coast path from Mevagissey. Good choice of meals at very reasonable prices, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. What more could you ask for.

My family are regular visitors to Gorran Haven and look forward to a full English breakfast in the the morning, and amazing freshly made pizzas on Friday evening. Always service with a smile and reasonably priced. Great little place which has a licence to sell alcohol, a shop attached which contains a Post Office, all you need in one spot!

We decided to pop in here after our beach stroll for a quick bite

Lovely sunny day in Gorran Haven. Spent a few hours on the beach and decided to pop in here for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised, the quality of food was excellent and accompanied with a bottle of wine. Service with a smile. I will definitely return here soon.

We always visit here when we are on holiday, perfect lunch stop on a coastal walk from Mevagissey. Cakebreads do the best cornish pasties and lovely sandwiches which you eat in their outdoor cafe/pub, with a pint of beer if you fancy it! Lots of choice of yummy cakes too!

Called in for breakfast on our first morning on a holiday in cornwall and was not disappointed. Breakfast was fantastic and reasonably priced.

We had a really good family breakfast here one morning, and came back a few times for drinks late afternoon. Great service and very relaxing atmosphere.

Not at all what I expected, we had visited their shop next door for a few bits and didn't realise they opened up the small patch of ground next to it as a bar. It's not big at all, there's only about 7 tables in there. We went on a Wednesday which apparently is pizza night! All tables were reserved, but they managed to squeeze us in for an hour so we could have a drink before getting food elsewhere. The staff are lovely, and felt very relaxed next to the beach with a cider!!

What an amazing place. It’s the local shop/post office/cafe. Such lovely friendly staff and great coffee. We had a large Cornish breakfast each. Really enjoyed it, but large means absolutely huge!!! Really not for the faint hearted, but I gave it my best and didn’t manage to eat it all. Excellent value for money.

Really pleased to come across this friendly cafe on a cold winters day. Great breakfast, friendly staff, hard to believe we sat outside to eat on Jan 3rd!

Think it not possible to provide first rate cafe/restaurant service under a tarpaulin? Think again! Cakebreads does the lot: teas and sweet stuff, excellent soup and good beachside food all round. The breakfasts (which we didn't have but wished we might....or at least I did!) looked generous and pleasing. Service good...You order from the little village shop and then the food appears from the back door. Little more to be said, really it is simple food, very well cooked and presented in a family run business. It is reliable, unfussy and good. The shop is also good for everything you might need or didn't even know you might need. The whole place is a real blast from the past.....Oh, and even the public toilets are run by the community and have flowers in them!! Great find!

Mit abstand der beste Pub in Gorran Heaven. Ein absolutes Muss um den Tag zu beschliessen. Wenn es Pizza gibt (einmal die Woche) unbedingt reservieren und vorbestellen. Großartig!

This store is in the lovely village of gorran haven and is great. Has everything you need and also has a little cafe. The food was lovely and busy which is always a good sign. The staff were friendly and the service very good and an ideal place to eat or just have a drink . It was also good to talk to many people as well! Would recommend this little place.

On a long walk, we paused at Gorran Haven hoping to find a pub but instead, came across Cakebreads which was much better. Excellent food (we had all day breakfasts and breakfast baguettes) and a lager and cider on tap. Sadly no Ales but they had an extensive selection in the adjoins shop which they served to us. Very friendly and speedy service and dog friendly too. If you are in the area, it is well worth a visit.

The shop sells everything you need, and if they don't stock it, they'll get it in for you. Also has a Post Office, with adjoining covered seating area for food and drink. The crab sandwiches are very good. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Conveniently located half-way between Portloe and Mevagissey on the SWCP. This is THE place for lunch in Gorran Haven. You order in the shop next door. Crab baguettes were delicious! The beer on tap is San Miguel, makes a nice refreshing shandy.

Stumbled across cakebreads after a long walk from Mevagissey. Sitting outside we were directed to order inside the shop, or should I say and alladins cave of everything you could possibly need. The food and service was brilliant and my partner couldn't stop raving about the gin cocktails.

We'd eaten here before and enjoyed the meal. Stopped again for lunch after long walk. Shabby and when I went into the shop to order the gentleman served a friend ahead of me and then walked out of the shop. I was eventually served and the meal or a pasty and a sausage roll was stodgy, boring and dry. A very cynical attitude. Take or leave it.

Unusual restaurant - order and pay at the counter at the shop, coffee and crab cakes served outside the shop at some tables. Great coffee and crab cakes.

What a great little place. Fantastic staff, ambiance and food. We ordered two fisherman’s Platters but they were very apologetic as they had run out. We were offered the crab salad at a reduced price and I can honestly say it’s the best one we have ever had. We live in Devon so we’ve had a few!! If it’s a sunny day you feel like you are in Spain or France! We will be back.

Great place for everything! Handy shop for all essentials, bakery for cakes, bread, pastries, pasty’s! Fresh pizza on Friday evenings, (booking essential) Outside bar at the evenings.

We walked all the way from Mevagissy to Goran Haven and had a lively cream tea. All the food looked good, especially the burgers.

We enjoyed a couple of lunches out with our young family.

A Cakebreads breakfast is a real family treat my whole family loves. If you go for the large breakfast you won’t eat for the rest of the day! Staff are great and it’s good fair value. Definitely would recommend. I have breakfasts at other places locally, but they just don’t compare.

Cracking breakfast, great value for money, plenty to choose from. Lunch menu which is served all day, great choice plenty of variety, all local produce and made to order. We’ve eaten here for years, breakfast/lunch/dinner and never had a bad meal and to top it off they now have an outside bar Serving local cider and beer on tap and can be taken away. Throughout the summer they do live music evenings and Friday nights is pizza night. Homemade pizzas cooked in a pizza oven.

Caters for all your needs, pleasant and friendly team in the shop and the bar help to make your stay in GH relaxing.

Popped into town after arriving late to our holiday rental. Thought this would be closed. But no shop open so got bread and sausages for breakfast. Got cash out from the post office.

This place is fab for holiday bits and bobs. Right at the end of the land down at Gorran Haven beach you can buy fresh croissants, local produce eggs, yoghurts, butter etc, get cash out, we even bought our tide timetable here! Friendly staff, everything you need. yesterday we had breakfast here for our last day and my 9 YO son said it was the best breakfast he had ever had. Outside, casual, good food. Little nipper breakfast with a glass of milk. Happy days. Well done Cakebreads!

We ordered tuna rolls - delicious and large in size for such a great price. The bar is nothing special to look at from the outside but very friendly owner and great service. to look at the

We have used Cakebreads on several occasions and always been pleased with the food and service. However, I just had to write a review to complement the place for the fresh crab meat baguette I had last week. Always a sucker for fresh Cornish crab, I ordered this and hoped for the best. It wasn't cheap but it was absolutely stuffed with crabmeat and I enjoyed every mouthful.

Friendly efficient staff. Good food. Lovely beer on tap and gin cocktails. Great family lunch by the beach

Stopped here for a bite to eat. Delicious warm Bacon, Brie and Cranberry baguette. Lots of crisp bacon and filling. The best one of its type I’ve ever had. Nice coffee. Very friendly service

Reading the reviews about the breakfasts, pizza oven, music nights etc I think we might have under used Cakebreads but we enjoyed our lunch there.

If you are on the coastal path in this area , this great little shop is an absolute must.

On the face of it this is a general store and post office in the lovely village of Gorran Haven. But that would be a great injustice as it’s much more than that. It’s a bakery, coffee shop, serves lager and cider on draught etc etc etc. The people involved are absolutely lovely and can’t do enough. I thoroughly enjoyed the takeaway cappuccinos in the morning.

We went along to a Friday evening pizza night at Cakebreads. It was a rainy evening but we were welcomed in a pop up, gazebo restaurant where the place was buzzing and the pizzas were authentic, tasty and moreish.

Good breakfast venue when visiting Gorran Haven on an overcast Sunday morning. Ordering a little complicated via shop counter....not in cafe!

the cakes are to die for the eating outside next door is just as good the food is lovely too, the owner is a real funny character too.

Wow - the window display is quite something, All your childhood bakery favourites lined up and catching your eye. We didn't NEED any cake but we damn well wanted some. Resistance is futile, After a cuppa down on the beach watching the clouds scud by, we reluctantly retraced our steps to leave the village, but got sucked back into Cakebreads on the pretence of buying a few odds and end for 'afternoon tea' back at the campsite. Doughnut, Eccles cake, Custard slice ... what's your weakness?

This is so much more than a shop. It's the Post Office, a convenience store, a bar, a restaurant and in the main season it has pizza nights, live music nights and superb breakfasts.

Visit this place every year we visit and it never disappoints. The Trawlermans salad is lovely and fresh with nice...

Precioso almuerzo para los cuatro de nosotros, una buena selección de comida y bien presentada. El bar de afuera es parte de la tienda/oficina de correos y puedes conseguir todo lo que necesitas para el día - personal amable 😊

La creación de un Bar es una adición muy bienvenida a la tienda. Al estar a sólo unos metros de la playa y el puerto hace que sea un gran lugar para relajarse.

Cakebreads, es única. Tienda en gorran haven, vende prácticamente nada y todo lo que se necesita. También tienen un bar exterior y un restaurante. . . . El mejor lugar para comer y beber en gorran haven. . . . El mejor desayuno, baguettes, ensaladas impresionantes, empanadas, patatas fritas, pizzas, todos cocinados frescos a la orden con un personal magnífico y propietarios. Bien hecho Barb y Ralph, tienes que tan bien!

We'd be lost without Cakebreads in the village. It's brilliant, not just for cakes and breads!! Breakfast baps very hard to resist!!

Walking through Goran on the SW Coastal path and spotted Cakebreads. Even better had spotted it was a post office first, a chance to post excess clothing home and then realised it was also a cafe selling its own food. Had a coffee and apple fudge cake, if I needed sugar to get me going again it was there in that delicious sticky square on a nice plate.It was also an excellent place to stop to avoid a heavy shower as there was an awning over the seating.Then I noticed you could get beer there along with home baked pizza, good job I had to move on to get to my hotel in St Austell that night or i would have been held for gluttony. Nice place, friendly people

Holiday in Gorran Haven every year and look forward to our first cream tea at Cakebreads every single time! Cakebreads with its tireless, happy, friendly staff is a fabulous, busy hub with most things you could need - bakery, groceries, post office, ice creams and cafe - perfect.

We popped into Cakebreads on a short visit to the beach with the 3 dogs on a windy and chilly morning. The hot dogs were huge and really tasty, as was the burger, and the chips were brilliant. The welcome was warm and they even gave the dogs water. A wonderfully surprising lunch, we'll definitely be returning!

Visited here many times when lived in the village, lovely owners and staff, always polite, lovely sense of humor and very helpful

Popped in for a cream tea as it was our last day in Cornwall and I believe it's actually illegal to *not* have a cream tea. The surroundings could do with a little attention - you are basically seated in a make-shift tarpaulin marquee style area with garden furniture...but the tea itself was fabulous. Order at the post office/cakebreads next door and take a seat. Waiting and serving staff friendly and made sure all was ok. The tea itself was just lovely. Locally sourced jam and clotted cream, scones so light they practically levitate a few millimetres from the plate. Plenty of beautiful golden tea. Well worth the fiver. A really nice end to a prefect holiday. Thank you cakebreads!

Finished a small walk from Mevagissey to Gorran Haven and stopped for a quick drink before getting the bus back. Friendly, helpful staff, local drinks and a really nice atmosphere.A hidden gem here I think!

We love coming here - the food is always delicious and we especially enjoy their Friday Night Pizza's. You can sit outside and watch the world go by whilst enjoying a beer and a meal. Great breakfasts as well. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.

When in Gorran Have Cakebreads is a must too visit if you want to buy cakes, pasties etc for your beach picnic. And if self-catering isn't your thing, there is a good cafe outside by the side of the shop.

Have been visiting Gorran Haven for 20+ years. This place hasnt changed much over the years. They have a nice bar and cafe outside. Food is great, service is great.Perfect little place.

This cafe bar is fantastic, with very friendly staff, yummy fresh cooked food, and a great setting, you feel like you are abroad when the sun shines! I recommend pizza night and the breakfasts are amazing and huge. This place is a must if you are in Gorran Haven

Whilst working in the village we pop in here for a coffee, and ended up having breakfast.The staff were friendly and the 'Cornish' breakfast certainly hits the spot.I wouldn't hesitate to return here if I was working in Gorran.

Tras una larga caminata por la costa entre Gorran Haven y The Dodman llegar a Cakebards y probar sus expecialidades locales es una muy buena opción. Platos típicos locales, bien preparados y muy ricos.

Such an amazing place with very friendly staff selling so many delicious things! Amazing bakery items, fresh bread, Cornish pasties and doughnuts but to name a few. Everthing we have ever ordered has been so tasty. We love their homemade takeaway pizzas on a Friday night and delicious crab sandwiches. Guy also makes beautiful birthday cakes to order, his chocolate cake is unbelievably good! The post office counter and all the staff here are so efficient and helpful. Cakebreads always makes our visits to Gorran Haven so enjoyable.

1st time of eating here and the food was amazing, service brilliant and great value for money, great atmosphere too.

this is the best place in the village for food, cooked to order so may be some small delay, excellent staff, pleasant and helpful, draught beer on sale in covered area, very busy in season, guy and simon are very good

Superb lunch at this lovely 'one stop shop'. Had to try the crab baguette. Cost jut under £9 so pricey but it's well worth it. You can literally smell fresh sea air as you bite into the lush fresh white crab meat. Our girls had bacon baguettes which were also good and large! Well recommended. Staff are helpful and shop is very busy but service is swift.

A cracking shop, bakery, Post Office and cafe.Cake & pasties were amazing.Well priced and friendly service.Outdoor tables, dogs & children were welcome.

I enjoy treating myself to a bakery good when on holiday in Gorran Haven, delicious! The price is reasonable and staff are friendly. Really handy to have the post office too

Nice small local shop. We spent holiday near Gorran Haven. Our son had his 10th birthday and we needed to get a proper cake for him. The owner of the shop was really nice and she prepared on her own the best cake we could have dreamed of. We made a small party on the beach then. Beautiful.
