Da Bara Bakery Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best almond croissants I’ve had. Kids demolished their rocky road. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will be returning on our next visit.

Visited while in Cornwall with the family. Clean and modern cafe. Very friendly staff. Great food and coffee and the best almond croissant I’ve ever had. Worth a stop!

Believe the hype, been recommended this place a few times, finally managed to drag myself in there and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home as soon as I walked in. The parking situation was surprisingly great, which is always a plus when your driving a van, also a few other shops nearby to browse if you like bikes, motorbikes 👍 Now, let's talk about the food! I tried the pulled pork scotch egg, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with a wonderful flavor. The boss bun with marmalade was a delightful surprise, bursting with sweetness and satisfaction. To top it all off, I indulged in a flat white that was strong and expertly made. All the breakfast and lunch food looked fantastic. The variety of cakes and pastries available is impressive, and I can't will be going back to try more. Overall, Da Bara Bakery is a gem that I highly recommend and I won’t be able to drive the A30 without stopping at it.

Went there for breakfast and it was very delicious. The ingredients were of the highest quality and the staff are kind and eager to ensure that their customers enjoy the food. Thoroughly recommend this gem of an eatery!

Great little place, food always good, staff are excellent.

Brilliant breakfast, we sat out on their outside seating. Amazing food and great friendly staff

Dropped in to the Cafe yesterday at Indian Queens for some lunch. Our first time, we can’t recommend enough. Delicious home cooked to order food, with lush cake to finish. Quick service from friendly, professional staff, thank you, we’ll be back!

Conveniently situated modern bakery. Easy to park. Great service from the team: prompt, friendly and efficient. Really nice smooth coffee. Good range of products. Even better if the savoury range could be expanded.

Had breakfast here whilst visiting Cornwall, kids had pain au chocs - the biggest we had seen and they gave a big thumbs up! The avocado on sourdough was delish! Husband had the big Dave which he said was lovely! Located on an industrial estate and found by accident!

Called in here on a recent stay in Cornwall, we’d seen reviews of the cinnamon buns and can confirm they are delicious. Really nice coffee too, and the decaf coffee was especially good. Lots of cafes don’t do a decent decaf but Da Bara really does. This will become a regular stop on our trips to Cornwall.

Amazing cafe/Bakery I took a friend who had not been before who did thoroughly enjoy. However, did mention that all the bread on sale was sourdough and no regular basic bread? This cafe is the best. The cakes and savouries on offer are all amazing. A visit is a must!

It's Sunday it was shut going to the bike shop

Glad we managed to stop off here during our stay in Cornwall as we love a cinnamon bun! Cute, very popular cafe despite its unusual location on an industrial estate. Great selection of sandwiches, pastries, cakes, bread, hot and cold drinks, and chutneys etc. to buy. You can eat in or takeaway. Thoroughly enjoyed the Big Dave (sausage patty, bacon, avocado, fried egg, mayo, sriracha) and the vegan sausage roll rivals Greggs' - great middle and pastry thickness. Coffee tasted lovely and huge bonus that dogs are allowed in the cafe as well.

We have been to the De Barra bakery quite a few times. Sometimes just to get bread/pastries, which are lovely (best sourdough around in our view), but also for breakfast. In short we think the food is lovely having been cooked while you wait (so not stood around under a heat lamp). Well worth a visit !

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Don’t go it no there anymore !!! Apparently it’s gone ? The website says it’s still there but it’s not

What a great start to a long day! The "big dave" was great! Thanks

I recently moved not to far from the bakery and use it on a regular basis. quality of their products are amazing I will never buy shop bread again. I have had to travel north so put in a order to make sure i had some for my time away . Bread does freeze really well

The croissant layered cinnamon bun was absolutely delicious. The flaky layers from the pastry was just divine, I would shake off the excess sugar and eat it by unwrapping the pastry layers.

beautiful bread, however be careful of winter opening hours and the cinnamon buns go very quickly 😋

I just love the almond croissants. The best this side of the Channel. The tea this time was very, very strong.

Amazing bakery. We came here on the off chance one morning and had a bacon sandwich, I can say it was one of the best I’ve ever had and I’m a connoisseur! Well cooked bacon, with a mix of back bacon and streaky on a warm crusty roll. Generous with the bacon too which was rare these days. Also their sourdough bread was amazing, again one of the best ones I’ve had and they slice it too. Wish we lived closer as I’d be here every day.

Popped in during the time of my Car MOT in a nearby garage and I had an hour to spare so i had breakfast in the cafe and it was spot on and great taste of food and coffee and staff were good, ideal for a stop off the A30 and have a break.

Today was my 1st visit to this bakery. The best tasting bread & butter pudding that I've ever eaten. Wonderful addition of apple & cinnamon, absolutely delicious. Fabulous latte, too. I'll definitely stop here again. Thank you.

This is becoming a regular stop when in Cornwall. The bread is heavenly, the flat white superb and the crispy bacon roll - well, it’s stunning. We took frozen pasties home and they were great. Lovely staff too.

Goes without saying the food was excellent. However, I’m more compelled to review as I want to give 5 stars to the staff and the service they give. Whilst there I witnessed an incredibly rude customer complain about having a slight wait as it was busy. The staff were lovely and I really empathise with them having to tolerate that kind of unnecessary behaviour.

The photo you have is its old location at Chenoweths business paek. It now has moved to the Roseland Plant Centre

Over the past week I've had scotch eggs, loaves of bread, cruffins, flapjacks and a breakfast bap from here. If my trip to Cornwall was longer, I would have worked my way through their entire offerings. Not a single fault with their produce could be found by me or my wife.

The best cinnamon buns I have ever tasted! We have them delivered, bought in the Porthleven coffee shop and eaten on long drives home.

Fantastic. Great contemporary bakery, with great counter food and a small but well executed quality menu. Good coffee. Highly recommend.

Gosh, we just called in. A quiet friendly outdoor cafe set in a nursery. The baking of a high standard. Great bread and amongst highest rated pastie.

Favourite bakery. Cinnamon buns are a-mazing!

Their Haloumi bap is second to none! Bloody delicious!

The ladies know how to make a really good flat white coffee, and you really must try the Big Dave everything you need in a brioche bun, keeps me coming back. 😃

Sensational!! Service was grand in this little shop come cafe and the food is fantastic! Well worth a visit!

Snacks cakes coffees and cold drinks. Seating inside or bench seats outside for sunny days. Bakery and other items for sale in the shop. Parking outside.

Lovely little place to stop for a fresh loaf, coffee and cake. It’s not the nicest the nicest location but there are some benches on a little grassy area where you can sit outside. Otherwise inside is done up nicely. Lots of choice of fresh cakes including croissants and pasty’s!

Buns and hot chocolate is very tasty but I've been in twice and very underwhelmed by staff. The hospitality is really poor. Will try the other cafe next time.

Our breakfast was absolutely lovely. Just what the doctor ordered on a wet and windy morning. Not the cheapest place but you definitely get what you pay for. The bakery items were also extremely tasty.

I'm sure they are delicious but Two cinnamon buns and 4 hot cross buns was well over £10, to take away. Wished I'd asked before I got to the counter. £5.30 for 4 hot cross buns is pretty steep!

The Best Big Dave’s breakfast Roll. Gorgeous cinnamon buns. Everything in there is Amazing. Lovely staff.

Amazing products. Cannot fault their amazing products and service. Highly recommended

I had Mushrooms & fried eggs on sourdough bread for breakfast, also cinnamon bun. They are amazing! Also tried the almond croissant, unfortunately it's too flat & dry for me, can't really taste the filling. I prefer 'moist on the inside' almond croissant. Will come back for sure to try the other pastries and bread. Love the sourdough.

Good selection of cakes and nice coffee.

Amazing cinnamon buns, great coffee! Loved the tent. Not cheap but definitely visit again. Friendly staff, signage from the car park could be better

Wow! Quality first! What a nice bakery, with delicious bread and other sweets.

We popped in for coffee mid morning with our dog. Very friendly service, water offered for the dog. Fabulous huge teepee with tables in and other tables out on grassy area. Good coffee and tea and pastries. We’ll be back!

Advertised everywhere as breakfasts until 11.30 and lunches from 11.30am. We arrived about 11.45. Chose a table. Breakfast menu was still on the table stating breakfasts until 11.30am. No sign of a lunch menu anywhere. One of the serving staff came over and took the menu away and told us somewhat abruptly that breakfasts were finished so we asked for a lunch menu please. She said she would bring one over. She didn't. At 11.58 we went to the kiosk and asked for the lunch menu again (remember, everywhere stated lunches from 11.30) to be told that they weren't starting lunches until 12.00. As there was only 2 mins to go before 12 she rather reluctantly gave us a lunch menu but told us we couldn't order until the kitchen was ready to take orders and she didn't know when that would be (so clearly not 12 at all). So it was a case of lunch will start when lunch starts whenever that might be! We were sitting quite near the open kitchen window and could hear the chefs' colourful language which wasn't nice. Tbh we should've walked away there an then but stuck it out believing that we would soon be able to place our order. At one point she went to the kitchen window and asked the chef when she could start taking lunch orders. I wasn't sure if he answered "4 to 5 minutes" or "45 minutes" - the optimist in me hoped it was the first. Shortly after that the chefs left the building and went off for their break and came back 30 mins later and it was a good ten mins after that before lunch orders started to be taken so it was indeed "45 mins" that I had overheard. Fair enough, the guys are entitled to a break, and may have had a busy breakfast service, I get that - but what I do not condone is not keeping customers informed. She could've and should've come over to us and told us that there would be a further delay of 45 mins but she didn't. We sat there like lemons from 11.40 until 12.45 before being allowed to even order lunch that was advertised as being available from 11.30. Lunch was good when it came about 15 mins after we ordered it so about 1pm but was definitely not worth waiting over and hour and a quarter for. We had intended buying some bread, cakes, pasties etc. to take back with us but decided not to give them any more of our custom and time so left after we had eaten. We weren't even offered complimentary drinks or anything while we were being kept waiting nor apologised to as we said goodbye on our way out. I got the distinct impression that all was not well within the "team". People who arrived after we did either left or just had coffee and cake etc. none ordered lunch - perhaps they had been here before and knew it was futile or perhaps they had been given a more realistic idea of how long the wait for lunch was. They would be better to change their times to show a break between breakfast service and lunch service when only coffees/pastries etc. are available. I will not be returning or recommending this place which is a great shame as it looks so good, promises a lot and seriously fails to deliver.

The cinnamon buns are excellent as are all they cakes and pastries. Somewhat pricey but worth it. Lady taking orders is very nice but the one making the coffee…. Shocking. Too slow and very miserable. Not a smile in sight. Won’t be going back again. Very unfriendly to the point of being rude.

Very friendly staff and pleasant decor. Good value & tasty avocado on toast. Unfortunately my double espresso was very watery. The bread looked good, but I didn't buy any.

Our landlord suggested Da Bara as a place to go for a bite of breakfast, and it was not a disappointment. The Little Gem buns were superb and the chef quite clearly knows how to cook Halloumi well. I would high recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Had the onion, thyme and Davidstow soup, in a bread bowl with 3 cheese crusting. OMG This is absolutely gorgeous From 1st to last. Worth coming Staff friendly and food fantastic

Lovely coffee and, very possibly, the best cinnamon bun I’ve ever eaten. The buns are available on-line in packs of five and, when I get home, I’m sure I’ll be ordering. (Note: I bought some to take away from the Da Bara place in Indian Queens. They’re even better warmed in the oven.)

Clearly built for tourists, Da Bara in the Garden would be at its best in fine sunny weather. The bread and pastries are very good and the coffee is acceptable. On our visit the staff got a bit mixed up with the order so we took away our cinnamon bun away rather than eat it on the spot. The garden centre itself is worth a visit.

Amazing find on an industrial estate. The best sour dough I've had in a while and the cinnamon buns??? Wow, nothing like cinnamon buns that we know.. out of this world. There is a cafe as well selling fresh made quiches etc. Really lovely.

The reviews led me to believe I was about to experience a cornucopia. Instead I was left with almost inedible foodstuffs and an indifferent staff. I won't make this mistake again.

I've only discovered Da Bara Bakery recently, and I think I will be a regular customer! I've heard so many positive comments from friends locally that I knew I just had to try it for myself. On Valentines Day, I had my first Da Bara experience and I bought two cinnamon buns and some shortbread for my boyfriend and I to enjoy during our walk in the woods! The cinnamon buns were REALLY nice, and much bigger than I expected them to be, so I will definitely be treating myself to some more of those! And the shortbread was lovely too, and really chunky - not like the thin pieces that other cafes and shops sell. The onsite cafe at Da Bara HQ smells amazing when you enter the building so next time I'm passing, I will be stopping off to try their coffee!

Stunning! Breakfast was excellent, atmosphere beautiful and staff amazing! Took loads of cakes away with me because they all looked so yummy I couldn't decide. I reccomend the cinnamon bun warmed slightly in the oven with some clotted cream 😁

I found Da Bara Bakery online for my fianceé’s 25th and they did not disappoint! Lovely baguettes, amazing focaccia (birthday style - judge me for the candles, not Da Bara), great prices and reliable delivery too. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

My fiancée and I love Da Bara's cinnamon buns and other bakery items. Whenever we pop by, we love to grab a meal and buy some other treats too. The staff are always lovely, thank you all for your hard work!

We always make the Da Bara visit the last thing we do on holiday before we head home. We love their delicious bread and we always take several home with us. What saddened and disappointed us today and it’s not the first time, is the lack of friendliness. If you’re going to have ‘Da Bara’ advertised on your gilet, then at least show some Customer Service and welcome people. The Staff member this morning looked as if she was chewing a wasp! Thank goodness the young girl serving despite having her face mask on, had a friendly voice and was helpful.

Yum, lovely.... Coffee expensive though.

They haven't updated the opening times of the cafe so it actually closes at 2pm not 4pm. They still accommodated us buying some cinnamon rolls but we couldn't have a coffee alongside them. Edited to add the Google opening times that state the cafe closes at 4pm. We were turned away at 2:05pm as the had closed.

Was really looking forward to this today but when DPD send you a text to say sorry we missed you and a random street photo nowhere near where you live - and we have been in all day expecting this delivery rather angry - realise this is a delivery company problem however your choice in companies is poor. It’s Friday evening and my delivery of bread and buns etc is now expected on Monday !! I reckon the birds might enjoy it -

Cycling stop off for coffee and cake. Nice setting behind a small garden centre. Coffee was really good. Nice selection of cakes and pastries along with nice Cornish pasties. Pleasant staff who are quite welcoming and happy to chat. There is a wigwam to sit...

first of all, this is not a bakery, it is a kiosk selling over priced food and drink, the coffee is above average, the tea average, both are served in cardboard /plastic cups with no handles the tea comes with its own tea bag floating...

Absolutely wonderful bakery - such a gem of a place - pastries - savouries and cakes delicious

After an early morning run around one of Newquay’s many lovely bays, perhaps my favourite treat is an indulgent De Bara’s bacon and egg sandwich on a ciabatta roll with a generous amount of spicy sriracha.

Not a huge choice but what choices they have a divine. Recommend for an indulgence treat

If an Aussie tells you they do good coffee, then they do good coffee. The food is on point. Worth the trip out. :)

Excellent. Great location, fabulous coffee and amazing Cinnamon Buns. Da Bara bakery is the best. Have used their on line shop and delivery service and will continue to (recommended). But nothing beats getting it local. Already looking forward to next time. Thank you.

Excellent food service 5***** Don’t pass call in and try 🥪👍

Wonderful Coffee, Wonderful People. Hugely impressed when I visited Da Bara Bakery with a friend. Well worth a visit! (Hey Jenny)

Despite a lovely setting in an outdoor tepee the whole experience was underwhelming . We had been looking forward to something special but despite the choice being large the selection was inspiring . We eventually had coffee cake which was quite dry and a white...

Absolutely amazing everything is fresh, worth every single penny

Nice range of cakes, bread, savouries and hot drinks. Plentiful car parking. No toilet.

Amazing cafe, been a few times, never fails to tickle the taste buds, cant recommend highly enough, love the new location Date of visit: May 2021

Excellent bakery. Worth a visit to try a bit of everything. Vegan sausage roll is delicious as well!

Open for take away 🙂. Great selection of tasty treats including vegan ❤️

Just had to pop in to get cinnamon buns

Delicious cinnamon buns. Sausage rolls were great.

Thank you for being the creators of such deliciousness. We are lucky enough to be able to purchase your bread and pastries from The Granary in Penzance where we live. Never disappointed and always of such a high quality. There are a few notable Bakeries in Cornwall but I think you are leading the way. My partner is Danish and been living outside of Denmark for 20 years and she is insistent that your Danish Rye bread is the best Rye she has tasted outside of Denmark.

De Bara Bakery in onen word... Awesome. Lovely staff and epic food. Saved us during the first lockdown. Their Cinnamon Buns are fantastic.

Called in for coffee and buns. An impressive choice of breakfast baps on the menu board, and some gorgeous looking scotch eggs and pastries on display. Settled for the gorgeous cinnamon buns and an Origin coffee flat white. Coffee and buns were delicious. This would...

Nice to see the cafe open again. Coffee and cinnamon buns as good as ever - essential fuel for cyclists. Thanks Da Bara

Its worth a stop here just for these beauties! Parking is now in a new car park which is a shame as you used to be able to park outside and keep an eye on the dogs in the car but its still a great...

The quality of bread, cakes & food at the Da Bara Bakery is exceptional. They have made great efforts to keep operating and keep people safe during the current crisis. Their are tables & benches in what was the car park and efficient service. Sitting...

Omg, the food here is devine, mushroom and chilli ciabatta is out of this world. My compliements to the chef 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁

I got so excited going in here, and hoped it was as good as it looked. Best pasty and sausage roll i ever had. Their pain au chocolat is possibly also better than any i've had in france. Cannot believe i only discovered these guys on my 5th time in cornwall, on my way back home. Da Bara, HEAD TO SURREY PLEASEEEEEE!

A perfect place for breakfast. All sorts of delicious hot breakfast and wonderful pastries and coffee to choose from !

Well, what can I say, five stars, easily.... having had two almond croissants in Polzeath at The Tube Station, I had to find out where they were made, because they were the best outside of Southern Britanny...... I found them, made here at Da Bara, and consequently I'm going to move down to Indian Queens!!!

Love, love, love DaBara! We live nearby and visit as often as we can for bread and baked treats. Their sourdough loaf and cinnamon buns are amazing, as is pretty much everything they make. The vegan 'sausage' rolls are also worth a try. Lovely coffee...

Popped in for a coffee, a slab of cake and a Vegan sausage roll- quick Service and was very satisfied with the food items-fabulous!

Best coffee in ages, loved the vegetarian dirty chips. Lunch with family sitting outside. Also took some baguettes for later. Enjoyed the skin-on fries, flat whites, dark choc and coconut slice, pasties.

I only discovered the Da Bara bakery about a year ago. It's one of those places where as soon as you hear about it you keep going back. The bakery is tucked away behind Carr's Volkswagen in St Columb. Nice new and modern building with nice seating area. Plenty of parking, and very friendly welcome guaranteed. Extensive choice, breakfasts, lunches all cooked made fresh on site. And of course the buns, cakes and breads. The ultimate one to try is without ant doubt at all is their cinnamon buns 😋 best things they do. Once you try them , you will always go back 😁

Great selection of brilliantly baked products, can recommend the cinnamon buns and almond croissant . Friendly staff

Lovely staff, delicious food. Shame the disabled parking isnt available as outdoor tables are in their space

Lovely baked goods and hot drinks are also worthwhile. Would recommend

Love Da Bara Bakery food and staff. Cinnamon buns are out of this world! They also stock Primrose Farm pork, which is delicious.

Lovey products, amazing croissansts etc but the staff are rude and unfriendly, seem like they think they're doing you a favour. Won't hurry back, strange to have such high end goods with such poor service. Come on try harder.
