Cornish Bakehouse in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Pasties did not have much filling and were totally bland. Not what we expected from a genuine Cornish pasty in the heart of beautiful St. Ives! We'll try elsewhere, next time.

Visited the shop on the Wharf in St Ives and this applies to them only since we didn't bother trying the other ones and just needed a quick take away snack. Staff were surly, need retraining in how to deal with customers and the food took an eternity to arrive. We were served by a young lad and it was clear he hadn't been trained in customer service. I ordered a pasty, panini and a baked potato with chilli for us. Whilst the pasty and panini my kids said were OK the baked potato was small and hardly had any filling but tasted fine. I couldn't bothered to go back to the shop and raise it with them. Will not be returning.

Disgusting stone cold pasties, at extortionate prices. Avoid!

We had some lovely sausages rolls unfortunately the tirade of swearing from the back kitchen between staff was unnecessary, the young lady on the counter was just as shocked as my two young kids and was apologetic. Management needs to have a word with the staff out the back.

Nice pasty but totally cold. And it wasn’t even late in the day it was 12:30pm

Lots of choices available for vegetarians as well. Freshly baked and delicious as well

Ok, this is not the best. After extensive sampling of Pasties throught the UK, I will just simply say that these are missing some of the things which make them special. Too much gravy. Too little meat. Too little ingredients (potatoe, cheese, onion, etc) which make them great. Crust is not flaky and luxurious. No added ingredients to amplify the meager portions. This is a tourist attraction, and granted it will not be the most authentic representation of the pastie (or other menu offerings), but it is not satisfying. I do not like to give 3 star review.

This is for takeaway only. Staff seems overworked, tired and very brusque but not rude. Just maybe had a long day. We only found one vegan option and bought it. It looked quite sad this Cornish pastry. Even as a vegan one it seemed undercooked and no colour on the pastry itself. The filling was alright. Nothing to write home about, but it felt as if we just filled our tummies with carb and veg. No flavour, no appetising pastry.

Bought a coffee and a sausage roll from the kiosk on Wharf Rd, St Ives this morning. The coffee burnt my tongue and I nearly choked on the dry, stodgy sausage roll. Tried a second bite a decided it best to put it in the bin.

Quite simply the worst pasty ever. Like a microwaved gingsters

The spicy chicken pasty was both warm and filling. Very tasty and even better we sat overlooking the harbour to eat and didn't get attacked by Seagulls!

Pasties were lovely we had a traditional and the lamb and mint. Little one had a jumbo sausage roll all tasted amazing and the service was great. Good little pasty shop for st Ives defo worth a visit.

Ordered a Brie and cranberry baguette and opened it to see lots of cranberry sauce (too much) and two slices of Brie, to the point it wasn’t a full baguette and only half had filling the rest was cranberry sauce only. Very disappointed

Though their prices are cheaper than other places in St Ive’s, I’d highly recommend spending your money elsewhere. Ordered a bacon, Brie and cranberry panini, bread was stale and swamped with cranberry. Barely and Brie or bacon. Wouldn’t go again.

Staff are miserable and rude, asked for some cannoli and the boy behind the counter acted as if I was the most inconvenient person he’d served that day, not a single simile or conversation, staff need an attitude check

Avoid!!! Please spend your well earnt money elsewhere where the food is much better. Cold pasties, all panini’s come with tomato sauce; Cranberry & Brie + tomato sauce, Chicken & Bacon Mayonnaise + tomato sauce … 🤢🤮 Staff are unhelpful and rude! I won’t be coming here again.

Amazing value for money. Had 2 beautiful cakes for £3. Highly recommended

We had a great experience here, we visited the St Ive's branch. We ordered 3 panini's and one Cornish pasty and they didn't disappoint. I had to wait for the panini's but that was expected, they came out nice and hot and very tasty. We had a BBQ chicken, tuna & sweetcorn and ham & cheese. I had a near miss with a seagull as we ate them outside! Service was great, the queue was long but at lunchtime, it was expected!

I came here with my family and we ordered 1 pasty, 2 baguettes, 3 packets of crisps and 2 drinks the pasty was very nice and traditional. However, the baguette was doughy and soggy as it was packed with sauce. I didn’t by any means not enjoy my food but it was a bit too bread heavy and it killed the filling, this food came out at a reasonable £19:95 it’s definitely a good option when passing through the town.

Delicious pasties! My favourite is chicken with bacon and chorizo. A must try on St Ives.

Vegetarian pasty was cold and tasted like frozen vegetables, I’ve had much better veggie pasties

Cornish pasty was Luke warm and under cooked. The worst one I have had in Cornwall. How can you possibly mess up a product you claim is the best in the world.

Very disappointed just spent £10 on 2 Bacon and brie with cranberry. To get home to find no Bacon in either of our panniers. Cheapskate won't be buying from there again.

Overpriced to start with and totally tasteless! Can’t believe you can get such a bad pasty in Cornwall! Avoid!!!!!!!!!

Best pasties in the world!!! Lamb and mint, and spinach and ricotta are must haves

Amazing food, quick prep time and an overall good experience.

Love anything cornish. lovely fresh products

One of the best Cornish pasty i have ever had far better then Warrens and Rows! I always go to St Ives and get a pasty!

Tasty, good sized brownies. Friendly customer service.

Piping hot, crispy, flaky pasties. Stuffed with the traditional and not so traditional. Vegetarian/ vegan options. Tried the red Thai curry chicken pasty. Authentic flavours. Something for everyone. Strawberry rhubarb slices also a sweet treat.

Absolute horrid experience in st Ives branch of this "bakery". Service was rude and aggressive and totally ruined our experience. We simple wanted some scones, without any cream or jam as we already had it. They said they don't sell them without cream and jam, I said ok don't worry about it then she or it said "I'm not worried" how was that called for honestly?? Was so taken aback it took all my muster to simple say thank you and goodbye and not escalate a situation she or it totally wanted to provoke. Still can't believe what happened out of nothing.

Wanted scones from this "bakery". They said it not really a "bakery" and they didn't offer scones without cream and jam . I said don't worry then. They said "I'm not worried ". I said thank you and left. Make of that what you will, I won't be going there again.

Cheese and onion pasty was great

Ordered 2 9" pizzas - one pepperoni, one Margherita with mushrooms - and both were freshly cooked to order and delicious. Very reasonably priced, too, and friendly service. However, went today at lunchtime for the obligatory pasty and were sadly disappointed. Firstly, it was only just gone 12 and they had very little left to choose from. Hubby went for steak and ale and I ordered the chicken and bacon because my usual choice of cheese and onion was not available. We assumed they would be hot (like every other pasty bought anywhere in Cornwall in the last 30 years!) and the server offered to warm them up which we accepted so she gave them 20 seconds in a microwave. We left the shop and I felt them but they still felt cold so I went back and she did it again. We reached a comfy bench happily anticipating our lunch to find they were barely warm on the outside and stone cold in the middle. My pasty was inedible in the middle so I just ate the edges and hubby manfully struggled through his but, even if they had been at a decent temperature, they wouldn't have been worth the bother. Who serves pasties stone cold?! Especially a chicken and bacon in white sauce! Definitely would not return for a pasty and would recommend you go elsewhere, although that might be a struggle as it seems like virtually every pasty shop in St.Ives is owned by the same company! 2 stars only because the pizzas were so good.

I don’t know where some of the people leaving these silly reviews have been shopping, but our experience of this place has only ever been exceptionally good. The bacon rolls are a solid start to any day walking down the beach - I’ve included a picture for you to make your own judgement. Hot, fresh, generous portions - Most importantly they’re tasty, nice quality bacon & grilled fresh whilst you wait. No ping from a microwave. We’re fussy foodies and these were mighty fine. As we’re the staff who cooked and served them for the past three mornings & my fella loves their coffee too. As for the pasties, I’ve never had a nasty pasty here. They’re pretty lovely, there’s never much left when we buy them after the beach. Lots of fillings, lots of options and for the past eight years it’s been consistently good and a favourite with our family. We take pasties home and they’re a big favourite. Don’t understand the negative reviews - Because we’ve had a very different experience happily. Jx

This place should be called Nasty Pasties. Ordered 2 traditional pasties and they were horrible (mince and mush) and cold. Tried to take them back and the chap at the counter was rude and passive aggressive. With all the choice in st Ives, just go pretty much anywhere else... It's got to be better than this!

Delicious pasties in St Ives Bay.

This is a great place to buy food, from Pasties to Pizza and the coffee is good too. Prices are on par with other businesses in the area and the staff were very friendly. My 1st port of call when I visit St.Ives.

I have come her for years but will not be returning. The manager swore at me for trying to order a baguette near closing time

There are so many rubbish Cornish pasties about it`s a great shame.......This place sells the best, so good.

Always head to this place to get a tuna baguette and it is always very tasty and for a great price. Staff are friendly, plus the brownies are also great! All in all, a convenient place to stop by for some food to take away.

I'd give it 1 star but Greggs exists. Worst pasty I've had in this part of the country by a long way

Cheese & onion pastry was great tasted amazing by the sea front. How ever when about to eat the vegan sausage roll was cold. Kinda a disappointed couldn’t be ask to go back and ask why the sausage roll was cold.

Had a steak pasty on Friday. Within couple of hours went down with food poisoning Was really not well. Had to come home a day early. Never again

Worst panini, advertised cheese tomato and herbs. No cheese or herbs and just a tomato purée. Don’t bother

Cold pasty ? Seriously sort it out . Very poor quality food. Dumped ours in the bin !

Friendly staff and lovely hot food 😋

The pasties here are lovely, even the gulls think so as they can mob you once you leave with your precious purchase, but its worth running that gauntlet to take them to the harbour wall :-)

Incredible, the chicken, bacon and chorizo pasty changed my life haha I wish I could buy this online

In a crowded town awash with choice The Bakehouse is the best as far as we are concerned. Their 'Traditional' Pasty is outstanding; so too their Lamb and Mint and Steak and Ale.

Purchased lunch in the form of filled baguettes from the Cornish Bakehouse on two separate occasions whilst on holiday visiting St Ives, the venue was busy each time and our orders were taken efficiently and the food we ordered was made to order and represented value for money and was very enjoyable each time, all of our party enjoyed their lunches from this establishment.

We went in as my son was hungry and wanted a croissant so we got 1 plain croissant and one chocolate croissant and I also bought 4 cannoli's. I really can not complain the food was very nice and the service was speedy. Definitely would go again

The food was great and very well priced. 2 huge chocolate brownies for £2.50 - bargain!!! And they tasted fab! Will definitely go back next time we’re in St. Ives.

My favorite place to grab lunch in st Ives. The crab and prawn baguette is amazing!

This pasty shop is right on the front overlooking the harbour. We chose a chicken tika pannini, very tasty, very hot. Luckily we found a seat overlooking the harbour....and we didn't get attacked by sea gulls.

Brought a local prawn mayo large baguette for £5.80 and only hand a few prawns. Waste of money ! Do not buy the prawn from here !

Ordered 2 large and 1 giant pasty, and 5 jumbo sausage rolls. The kids enjoyed the sausage rolls and the pasties were very good. Not too expensive either.

2 takeaway pasties one veg one chicken. Not fresh microwaved before serving. Contents included some mushy type stuff not identifiable. No Cornish pasty makes would dare sell rubbish like this they only get away with it because of the pressure on Jubilee Day. Very obvious Cornisb Bakehouse neither the company nor the directors are Cornish. Time these emmetts go back where they came from.

Small pasty for the money to start with then when you bite into it you realise that it is 80% full of air. A bit of a tourist trap I feel. I'll be sticking to Philps in future

We ordered breakfast and had a hot chocolate each and shared a beef and stilton pie. The service was friendly and efficient. THe hot chocolate was excellent. The pie was okay, not the best we've had, not juicy enough and too much potatoe and not...

The trouble with writing a review about this type of establishment is that it is a street side takeaway, the type of place you make an impulse buy from rather than do any research on before hand. Anyway, we stopped by at lunchtime for a...

Only went here because I was dying for a pasty. First place didn't take cash, second place ran out, so just went here. Nothing wrong with the pasty but evidently a chain affair. I want proper local charm rather than something I could get anywhere. Also repeated problems with my card left a sour taste but that was partly my fault.

Rubbish ordered a garlic pizza. Came with no cheese and no garlic just plain base with tomato sauce and oregano. They wouldn’t even change it for me when I asked, very rude staff.

A early morning walk in St Ives prompted us to get a bacon roll and coffee as we walked past the shop. We were soon disappointed with our bacon roll - covered in fat and hardly cooked - great if you like your sandwich like...

Bought a lot of food from a cornish bakehouse in St Ives and asked for an extra bag but the shop assistant didn't seem very, pleased I asked for an extra bag. Not the most welcoming experience I had considering how much I spent in the shop!!

Rudest staff I've ever been served by. Unnecessary to talk to customers the way they do. Apart from the lad who took our order. Wouldn't recommend, unless you like walking away fuming because you've been spoken to like trash.

Quite simply, the best pasties I have ever tasted. Cant say fairer than that. Great value.

Quite simply, the best pasties I have ever tasted. Cant say fairer thanks that. Great value. I have eaten a lot of pasties over the years, these are second to none.

Great pasty with a really nice view. Be aware the gulls are quick. The pasty was very nice and tasty, staff pleasant, fairly priced.

I ordered a Tuna Panani and a cheese panani. When I got the Pananis they both have tomatoe base in them and the cheese baguette had tomatoes. I took them back and explained I cant have tomatoes and my daughter is allergic. I got the...

The shop advertises a stone baked pizza. Instead not only the pizzas are definitely not stone baked, but they are extremely small and of incredibly poor quality (you could get much better frozen pizza at any standard supermarket). This was definitely the worst pizza of...

Ham and cheese panini was disappointing. It contained slithers of cheap meat disguised by tomato purée!

This place does a wicked spiced vegetarian pasty, lovely!

Nice food but always out of giant pasties

We went to St Ives for a day last week and tried a couple of pasties from here. They were absolutely delicious and the meat was top quality and the pastry just melted in the mouth. I would have given 100% if they were hotter.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. 10 out of 10

Absolutely terrible service and a well below average pastie! First to the pastie. It wasn’t fresh - it tasted stale. I ordered a steak pastie and there was barely any steak in it! The lady who served seemed nice. However to top it off the service was worse from a different young lady. I decided to eat my pastie on the unoccupied seats at the front. My partner didn’t want to eat but was sipping a coffee from the business next door. We were then told we both couldn’t sit there as “you aren’t customers.” I protested that I had literally just bought a pastie and had taken my last bite. I was told in no uncertain terms to clear off and that they couldn’t support other businesses. So much for businesses helping other businesses after covid.l! I said I wouldn’t be back and the lady replied she couldn’t care less. There are loads of better pastie shops without the aggravation. Avoid.

This was the favourite pasty of our holiday (and we tried a lot😅) I recommend the steak & ale pasty!

After visiting St Ives yesterday followed the sign outside '2' people at a time in the shop and was shouted at to get out as '1' at a time. When going in advised what the sign said and they removed it! Then asked for 1 cappuccino, 2 latte and 1 hot chocolate, paid and then realised had been overcharged. They had charged for an extra drink that by all accounts I had asked for, Not! Very rude young man basically said I had asked for 5 drinks, he did not serve me? I did not get a refund and paid for a drink I did not want. Not very good customer service as all the drinks had not been made and could have refunded me. Would not purchase from here again!

Ordered 2 pizzas, both mexican chicken and one without chorizo. Both were £8.00 each. Both cooked without chorizo. Too much tomato sauce on the base and both not one both were really wet and watery not impressed, so this was not a one off as both pizzas where the same. Do not recommend.

To the man who got me a fresh pasty after a seagull stole it from my hand... god bless you and god bless st Ives! We will 100% come back, Thankyou so much!

Unlike most places in St Ives, they're barely observing Covid rules. Just a hand sanitiser at the door, staff wearing masks around their necks and tables packed in as normal. Ordered a coffee but it took so long that I got it to go instead.

Rank !! BLT your words Bacon Lettuce Tomato and Mayo .. I got lettuce, tomato and what looked and tasted like tiny scraps of ham and no mayo . Waste of money a lot better to be had in St Ives .. surely ?

Big fan of this place. I’ve been using the Cornish Bakehouse for a few years now when I’m in Cornwall. I’m not a fan of Pasties (from anywhere..) so I always have a Chorley’s Badboy Panini - it’s absolutely lush, I’d recommend it to anyone! We also tried the pizza recently going for the Mexican. This too was brilliant. Just watch out for the bloody seagulls!

Traditional cornish pasties, pizzas and paninis. Amazing quality food&service, good price also. They also hand roast their coffee, 100% arabica the must to try! Highly recommended👍🏼

£4.50 for this large monstrosity won't be doing it again! The pasty has collapsed in on itself because there is minimal filling! Why is it so hard to get a decent Cornish pasty nowadays? If you want a decent pasty everytime the only place is Hampsons of Hayle 👍 sorry Bakehouse.

I live nearby and have always bought my pasties from here. Sunday was the second time in the last two months that I've had two pasties that were cold. I thought the first time was just a blip. Obviously not. Please make it clear to...

We bought a couple of sandwiches to take away. I had a brie and cranberry on a large baguette and my partner had a crab sandwich on brown bread. My baguette was delicious and apparently the crab sandwich was exceptional. I also bought 2 chocolate...

Couldn't be less helpful to customers, don't know there own ingredients, sausage roll cold. Won't be returning.

Awful, the cakes were old and the pasties were cold but not quite as cold as the welcome we got from the guy behind the counter. Never again.

Having just visited the shop on St Ives front we certainly wont be buying anything there again after being told by the man serving that all people shoukd stick to their own communities and tourists should stay home, well maybe they should shut up shop...

absolutely delicious pasties especially the chorizo one definitely recommend

What a great way to enjoy the beauty of St ives with warm,tasty pasty.. All the wait and queue for pasty is worth it...

Had a traditional cornish pasty, simply lovely. Watch out for the dive bombing seagulls 😂

Went to st ives for the day and the cornish pastey was delicious and the cornish long cake was one of the best I have ever had. Everybody else in the group I was with loved there food I would definitely visit again.

Lovely broccoli Pasty, my partner was very happy with it. I had the chorizo Pasty which was nice but needed more chicken filling. My dad had the giant traditional which he said hit the spot and my mother had the brie and bacon Panini which she said was perfect. The brownies were also enjoyable. Staff are quite informal but that's no bad thing

Wanted to try a “Cornish Bakehouse” pasty, as they had a massive line (usually a good sign) and St Ives bakery was closed. Ordered a large steak (Luke warm) and a lamb (stone cold!) both were inedible. I returned to store where I was met...

Not freshly made at premises scones stale tea naff price expensive!

No visit to Cornwall is fulfilled until a REAL Cornish pastie has been consumed. The Cornish Bakehouse bakes a mean pastie with a variety of fillings to cover most peoples tastes. However, my favourite and hard to beat, is their traditional pastie in three sizes. Trust me, you have to be a big eater to get through their large size.DELICIOUS
