Friary Mill in Plymouth

For a large bacon roll 2 pieces was a bit tight.

The ladys who work here are very friendly and helpful.

Very nice bakery. Bread and pastys really nice and fresh. Recomend anytime. Service very good.

Handy, local bakers, buns, cakes & sandwiches

One thing you must try is their traditional Devon Pastry.

Great little cheese and onion pasties! And very friendly and helpful staff!

Gosh the salt in these pasties is awful there are inedible,I used to love your pasties not any more sort it out please

I use to really like their pasties but now there is so much salt in them they have become inedible. I'm not the only one that mentioned this and also my mother can't eat them because she also says there to salty.

Great bakery friendly staff.very good selection.reasonable prices.great service. We will certainly use Them again.

Not as good as before… what is going on?

Best old school bakery in town!!

Used to really enjoy food from here but recently the cooked pastries have started going downhill, very very dry hard pastry, falls apart, even the meat is tough and over cooked

Great pastys, friendly staff, very clean and covid safe, can't wait for them to reopen the little cafe. Does have a few vegan (could be labelled better) options but prone to selling out.

Sadly a bit of a dissapointing lunch, only a single vegetarian option (cheese and onion pastie) which was really lacking seasoning and had a texture like glue. It's a real shame as looking at the photos and online menus it looks incredible but it feels like it has gone a bit downhill since then..

Excellent variety and very friendly and helpful staff

All the cakes, all the pasties, sandwiches, breakfast rolls, it's all delicious. & They do coffee

Bought 2 pasties and she gave me 2 that were darker than the others. Got home and they were inedible.obviously reheated. Solid pastry and very dry filling. Had to bin it. Trying to recoup cash by ripping off customers is not a good idea.I've been using this bakery for decades, never again.

La panadería tenía una amplia variedad de pasteles, sándwiches, empanadas y pasteles. ¡Pedimos una selección de empanadas y pasteles y todos estaban deliciosos! El personal fue muy amable y paciente mientras dudábamos sobre qué artículos nos gustaría. Definitivamente regresaría.

¡Compré un bistec empanado y no había bistec! Me encantó la pastelería, pero básicamente era una pasta de patatas con pimienta, que no es tan buena para ser honesta. El servicio fue amable y todo lo demás es genial. Pero recuerde que la mayoría de las personas, al juzgar una empanada, observarán el contenido de carne, la masa y el sabor. Plymouth y Cornwall es el hogar de las empanadas, así que, ¿podemos mostrarle a este alimento básico el respeto que se merece y empacarlo con carne de res? Yo estaría eternamente agradecido ? P. s. había pequeñas migajas de lo que creo que era carne; pero la cantidad que esperaría que alguien pusiera por accidente al hacer una empanada sin carne. . . ¿Si eso tiene sentido?

Staff are very friendly can have a bit of a banter with them service is great

The best beef patties in town 😁 great food and always great service here 👍 Thank you for being open during lockdown 👏👏👏

The food here is so fresh and delicious. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. I really like this place and appreciate for the great service.

Great pasties especially the peppered steak! A good selection of fresh bakes and sandwiches.

Lovely staff, best EVER bacon baps, good quality Devon pastry fayre. Cocktail and peppered steak pasties to die for. And reasonable prices.

Yummy cakes and fresh sandwiches.

Redelijke brood en banket bakkerij. Beel verse waar, maar wegens ruimhartig room gebruik, niet geheel onze smaak. Lekker brood. Vlotte service. Je kan hierbij blijven ontbijten of lunchen.

See previous review, all shops hit same high standards,i want those ladies with that red hot griddle to come live with me & feed me every day! 🎇🏅🥇🐷👌👍👍💖

Great food and tasty fresh bean coffee

Popped in here looking for a pasty and wasn't disappointed. Pasties are a slap and panini's are great as well.

I would like to thank the staff at Ebrington street for saving the day for the wake of Ray Flood and making sure the pasties were awesome. Can't thank you enough !!

It’s nice that you can buy a pastie or sandwich from the bakery, or if you fancy sitting down and grabbing a coffee then you can do the same next door. Enormous choice and a nice balance between quality of produce and keeping the price low.

Best bacon & sausage bap ever really good price too

Amazing food personally got the best service here out of the whole plumouth food is amazing great taste and don't even get me started with the coffee 😍

Fabulous 60th birthday pasty, my sister loved it, as did everyone else, something different tovtake take up north and tasted lovely. Staff were fab, very helpful, even got young man (sorry didn't get his name) to carry to the car for me. Will definitely be buying again and highly recommend. Thank you x

Pop in here about once a month with my daughter for coffee . Lovely little coffee shop, friendly staff and they also do a lovely fry up. Definitely worth popping in.

What a very pleasant, appealing and friendly cafe. Spotlessly clean. Pity its not largerbut dont let this deter visiting this place. Cheap fast food served with a smile. Thank you especially to the lady called Tina who personifies the perfect front of desk staff a credit to the company. We will for sure visit when passing again.

Popped in for breakfast and coffee whist waiting for my son to finish at uni. Although it was empty when I arrived I thought as it was close I'd go in. Great coffee and breakfast, food well cooked, fast service, well I was the only customer at the time, and cheerful staff. Reasonably priced too.

Very friendly staff... Loved their pastries 👍

Cheap cheerful, basic, well cooked and a pleasure to eat a good meal. What really makes this cafe are the staff the lady that normally serves me is exceptional I have watched her with disabled people, a lady needing a support worker, students, older people with walking frames, singles and families... they all have the same level of attention and nothing is too much trouble. In case you haven’t guessed I frequently pop in for a fill up, recommend for a simple well prepared meal and being treated like royalty.

Great little place! The Pasties are excellent, the recipe has remained consistent and full of quality, I always get pasties from here, they are dependable and never sacrifice quality for quantity. Excellent.....thanks!!

We have become regulars at this little cafe. Their limited menu is always served with a smile, and the food is served hot and delicious. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and should anything go wrong they are only to pleased to make amends and make sure your experience is good. I would recommend it. The bakery next door have a great selection of savoury items and cakes.

I have been going to this Friary Mill for years now and have never had a problem. The staff are pleasant and kind and are always happy to help, nothing is ever an issue. There is always a wide range of food available- the steak pasties are to die for! I now take my 1 year old boy in with me and he has a sausage roll which he loves!

Visited the cafe shop for a delicious english breakfast! Very good value and worth a visit! Great offers and prices for delicious fresh food. The staff there are so friendly, I always have great service! I even visited the take away section of the building to take a pasty home for my dinner, where again I was greeted by amazing staff. Such a wide range of delicious products in this bakery. Would reccomend to anyone!

Friary Mill is the undisputed best bakery, pasties and pastries all delicious!

Always tasty pastry and cakes. Not expensive either. Always nice treat.

these pasties are far superior to Ivor Dewdneys with proper meat potato and carrots

Two ground floor units on the corner of Beaumont Road and Gasking St are operated as Friary Mill Bakery on the right, 1 Beaumont Road, and attached on the left at 15 Gasking Street is the cafe, known until very recently as Friary Mill cafe, but now it has had a new awning and the premises are marked up, half anonymously as '15 Gasking St' but still looks similar to before inside. Same staff so far as we could tell but the general impression was that it looks as if it is ripe for a break away from the bakery shop. Watch that space. Ebrington street seems to to be experiencing an uncertain spell. Although the Good Coffee place seems to have firmly established itself, Brown and Bean seems to have been on hold since the summer and stalled relaunch in December, the lovely music shop closed last week and 'Tusk' the much publicised successor to Jack Chams which promised opening in November has also been dark and locked for ages and shown no sign of ressurection any time soon.

The steak pastie was appalling. Just gristle and potato wrapped in a thin under cooked and tasteless pastry. The jumbo sausage roll was ghastly. Just tasteless fatty meat rolled in fatty pastry. The bacon slice was dry and guess what?... yep tasteless. The caramel slice was dry The Eccles cake was all pastry and little else. We paid nearly £9.00 and ended up ill with diarrhoea and stomach pain. Thanks Friary Mill.

Friary Mill is located on Ebrington Street, Plymouth and well worth a visit. The staff are very friendly and there is an excellent selection of cakes, sandwiches and pastry items. I can recommend the breakfast bap (sausage, bacon & egg), it is excellent value and cooked to order. Christmas Turkey & Cranberry Pasty is well worth a try.

Really great selection of hot and cold savouries , breads and cakes mmmmmmmmmmmm is the best way to describe this place.

Some say Ivor's make the best pasties in Plymouth, but I think they're not a patch on those found in Friary Mill.

I visited the one on Royal Parade, not bad for a cheap lunch, but I would have payed a bit extra to have real turkey on my salad rather than processed.

Really great pasties here. Friary Mill supply many of the newsagents in Plymouth so you are often eating a Friary Mill without realising. Pasties here are hot and delicious. Recommended.

This is a lovely bakery but I struggle terribly to find what I want, every time I have come in and wanted something they never have it. Last time I went in they had no pasties what so ever except for sausage rolls. I understand that the bakery wants to reduce wastage but at 2pm?! These bakeries specialise in pasties but once they do an oven full, that's it? I went to this bakery and the one on ebrington street and it was exactly the same. Why not limit how many pasties are cooked instead of not cooking anything just because it's 2 hours before closing?

Not that far above adequate. The Friary Mill bakery business seems fast to be taking over every bakers shop in the city and they knock out pretty routine stuff none of which is alluring or tasty unless you are famished and in a hurry. So it is with this slightly dark and unexceptional cafe on the junction.

This bakery chain makes good quality products that are well priced. I like the fact that they don't try to be pretentious which invariably hikes the price up… Try one of their Devon Peppered Steak pasties - awesome! And on Fridays ask for a Honey & Spelt loaf - also awesome! I personally love the pink iced doughnuts, but then again I am a traditionalist

Stopped off at nearby Tesco and needed a hot drink and a snack. This small lowkey cafe is attacked to the corner bakers shop. Late Saturday morning there were just two other customers, no one behind the large counter display but nothing in it bar three or four fuzzy drink cans. I'd expected a selection of cakes and pastries, maybe some pasties and filled rolls but there was no food on show. Took four or five minutes for the staff to appear and then they came out and cleared some empty plates before tending to me. I asked if they had food and was met with a gruff 'what do you want?'. I settled for a quick mug of tea and cheese and onion pasture which must have been fetched from the shop next door or out back. Dumped unceremoneously on the counter. Fairly cheap though. Dispiriting experience. I probably won't come back but it may serve its purpose. Not much else at this end of Ebrington St.

Not sure why someone has asked for this to be listed under restaurants/ ages etc. This is one of many branches of the group of local bakers shops. Nothing remotely out of the ordinary, mostly pasties, filled rolls, tin loaves and various sweeter stuff including vanilla slices and pastries. Sadly Friary Mill failed to resurrect the old Tudor oven when they took over Britain's then oldest working bakery Jakka's in Southside Street. Decent interesting artisan bread is now only available through the Royal William Bakery and the column Bakehouse. Friary may be local and expanding but they add little to the choice and quality available in the city.
