Martin's Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Excellent pasties, large selection of pastries, friendly staff. Exceptional doughnut, we weren’t big heavy cake fans but a traditional Cornish cake so glad we tried it. Excellent bread!

Lunch was 2 Chicken and bacon Pasties from the 1st shop we came to in Mevagissey. 2 coffees and 2 Macaroons. The service with a chat and super quality food made our 51st year of when we met wonderful. On the way back to the car we brought 2 cream teas to share with the family.Well packed with scrumptious scones local Trewithen dairy clotted cream and Boddingtons berry Strawberry jam. Excellent value and customer service.

Bought the biggest pasty they had as I was super hungry and I knew my partner would also want a taste. It was so good, he bought a second one from here on our way back as it was so much better than anything else we saw! Absolutely delicious and highly recommended.

Went here today on my visit to Mevagissey and bought a large pasty. Let me tell you it’s the best pasty I have ever had, it was full of meat and veg it looked and tasted amazing, the crust was just right not hard or too crusty . It was that good I went back for another to take back to the hotel . This bakery is a little gem honestly it really is . I have had pasty’s all over Cornwall on my travels and this lovely bakery beats the lot! Don’t take my word for it! Try one ! I am on holiday fir a week staying in Falmouth and wish I could go back but it’s too far. I will be there next year. Yvonne

£4.95 for a large Steak pasty ..mainly contained "AIR" was not good a better pie or pastry would have come from Lidl

Picked up a few mini meat pasties, lovely savoury treat for brunch. Kids loved them. Best bread too!

This is a wonderful little bakery that had gluten free options! A real gem of a find and the two lovely ladies working there were so helpful and considerate. They do gluten free pasties and cakes and it was wonderful to feel included. Thanks ladies you made my day!

Popped in for some bread rolls, they were delicious and very affordable. Other bakery items looked good too.

Popped in and ordered cream teas and pasties. The cream tea was lovely and good value for money, the pasties were almost inedible, full of fat that was really chewy and burnt. The ingredients really need to improve.

This bakery sold hot gluten free pasties! I believe there were two options, beef or cheese and onion. Both pasties were individually wrapped to avoid cross contamination and the staff offered to heat it up for me. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick gluten free lunch.

After a long walk introduced our daughter to the delights of the pasty. She was very impressed and very full. The young lady who served us was learning the ropes and was very friendly and did a good job.

Despite being assured by the manager of the shop that the cakes I purchased at 10.30am were today's I was given 2 stale cakes. When I complained they insisted that the cakes were delivered today, even their main office said the cakes I purchased had been delivered that day. My only assumption is that their cakes are stale and inedible. I threw them away and when I complained I was accused of being rude. I won't be going to this shop again and like some others who have written reviews, I found the staff rude.

Popped in during pleasant walk round the harbour.Really friendly staff and the best pasties we have ever had and we have had a few!!

Popped in to pick up a takeaway afternoon tea for my mum. This includes two scones, jam, cream and even a knife all packaged up nicely. The scones were lovely and soft and the cream delicious. Mum was very pleased. We also purchased two donuts which were also very nice. Lovely ladies running the place who were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

The pastys and the bread were amazing,,,, plenty of choice ,, I particular enjoyed the wholemeal bread with add a wonderful texture

Looe had become very busy in the few hours we were there so got some pasties, sausage rolls and a cream tea to take away plus iced fingers for the younger ones. There was a queue and it was worth the wait. Helpful staff, reasonable prices and delicious food. The scones were light and fluffy and passed the 10 year old's taste test.

These were the best Cornish pasties that we found on our visit to Cornwall. There were good cakes as well, but the pasties were outstanding.

While Martin’s Bakery’s GF baked goods are not made on site, I was so excited to have finally found a gluten-free cheese and onion Cornish pasty as it was my first one ever! The staff were so kind and accommodating about my dietary needs. It definitely made up for the fact that I had to bring the pasty home to bake it since it was only semi-baked and frozen. When I did have my pasty that night, it was so yummy.My husband and I also had a DIY cream tea with GF fruit scones from here that we took to a nearby bench. Scones were heated up for us (as they were also frozen), and they were delicious!We purchased our takeaway tea from She Sells down the road to go with our scones/clotted cream/strawberry jam, and it made for a wonderful afternoon break while in Meva. Highly recommend for those also on the hunt for gluten-free treats while in town.

We bought a couple of chocolate crispy buns which tasted rather musty and a shortbread biscuit which was ok, cheap prices so shouldn't have expected much to be honest but we threw away more than we ate due to the horrible taste.

Simple local bakery, part of a small chain. Bought a nice seeded loaf, nothing else, but the cakes and pasties looked tempting

Enjoyed the Cornish pasties from this lovely bakery. Close to the harbour. Meal deals available. Cakes and drinks too.

What do you eat on your first day in Cornwall?. You have a pasty. Had a medium sized pasty followed by a Danish pastry both of which were very fresh and tasty. Might return again in the near future. .

Brought large Cornish pasties for z takeaway lunch ,doughnut and Saffron cake .Pasties were great better than some we had eaten as less pepper, doughnut was great Thought better wait before starting on Saffron cake .Vert covid friendly system in place

This morning traffic delayed delivery to the store. Instead of letting the substantial number queueing outside the locked store know that there was a problem, it took a young man, unaware no doubt of the fearsome reputation of the manager, to knock on the door. It was opened by the member of staff, who is always courteous, to apologise for the delay and after 25minutes a notice was pinned on the door saying "will be open later". I returned almost an hour later after the delivery had been received to be informed that I must wait another half hour to be served. It was quite possible to have served me, but the manager is a woman who does not value customers. I shall vote with my feet. Many locals seem to share my view, that one bad apple etc.. etc..

We bought pasties to take home with us from our annual New Year stay in Mevagissey. The first of these were enjoyed on a family visit on our way home and all of us thought they were very nice pasties. The ones left for us to enjoy, now we are back, are unlikely to stay in the freezer long.

Great steak and stilton pasties homemade thought it was expensive but then realised that 1 pasty is a meal on its own. much better than the chain round the corner.

I can honestly say that this was the best Cornish Pasty I have ever had. It was full and made on site the taste was out of this world

The pasties here were delicious and a very reasonable lunch for a take away on the beach! Very fresh and a beautiful aroma coming from the shop. Lovely grub!

Great donuts and pastries, Good sizes and all very fresh, absolutely delicious and true value for money

Best pasty in Mevagissey. Great selection of bread and cakes. We did the walk to Gorran Haven and back to earn ours 😉

We call here all the time. The bread is always fresh and tastes like homemade, be aware it doesn't keep as long as supermarket bread as it's not full of additives (a refreshing change). Cakes good too and they always have a selection of delicious quiches, biscuits and milk,clotted cream etc too. Get there early as it's very popular!

We got recommended to go to Martin's Bakery by our coach driver, and yes it is good - amongst the many eattery options in Looe that offer bakery goods, especially pasties.

Stopped by here on an afternoon away, and was very impressed. Managed to get some of the last pasties (it looked quite busy all afternoon!), and the two ladies working were lovely, friendly and helped us find a few other places. The pasties were delicious, filling and hearty. Would highly recommend.

I called in here one morning to buy some hot pasties to take with us on our walk along the coastal path near by. The friendly, helpful lady who served me, kindly wrapped the pasties in foil to keep them warm for longer and they went down a treat when we finally got to eat them.

Called in for pastys to take home. Good range of bread , cakes and savouries. Friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent bakery with an excellent range of food. We found the staff friendly and the prices reasonable

Super bakes and excellent service. Not a lot of stock so get in early to have the widest choice. I wouls recommend this bakery.

Called in for a pasty for lunch, nice little bakery with a good selection of pies and cakes etc. I chose a medium traditional pasty, it was delicious, lots of very lean meat, nice veg and peppery, the pastry was lovely and light. Delicious

We bought loads of scones from Martin's and they are fab with local clotted cream and strawberry jam! I love Cornwall!

Nice local bakery with lots of lovely food. We just had the pasties. They were delicious! Located right in the centre close to the harbour.

My sliced multi seeded is the load I have fallen in love with, such soft and spongy moist bread. Authentic brown bread - you won't go back to a supermarket again for your bread!!

Took a fancy to the cakes on display so had a Belgian bun,delicious, a cherry and almond flapjack, nice, and 2 Venise chocolate cakes,lovely except there was jam in between which one person doesn't like unfortunately. Not the bakeries fault but the items do need a bit more of a description otherwise great.

Hidden around the corner this shop served up a really tasty pasty. Cakes looked good but didn’t need one.

Popped in whilst the ladies were shopping and got myself a cheeky cheese and onion pasty. Delish!! Being vegetarian, Ive tried a few and this was up there as one of the best. Well done and keep up the good work!

This is a lovely little shop selling nice cakes. It is in a quaint, narrow road, and for such a small shop seems to attract a lot of customers. Recommended.

We popped into Martin's bakery for some homade jam, & bought a lovely crusty loaf to have with our fresh mussels purchased fresh from the quay, The bread was lovely & fresh & crusty, The pasties were equally lovely & bought some back home to have for tea, The staff are very friendly & helpful, But that seems to be the general consensus in mevagissey, Can't wait for our next visit.

Having built up to a real Cornish pasty on day two of our stay in Mevagissey. This was one disappointing meal. Steak and Stilton with very little steak and very little stilton. Didn't bother to go back.

Nice old fashioned looking shop, feels like a family run business. Good traditional pasty and cakes. Friendly service.

this is the best place in my opinion to get your fresh hot or cold pasties ! always make a point of ordering them to take home with me when I leave !

Try their flapjacks, lovely! Ginger and fruit ones were the nicest but the plain ones were` good too.

Everywhere in the country now claims to sell proper Cornish pasties. Most come nowhere close to the excellent ones provided by this place. Marvellous!

This may have been one of the few places that does not advertise their pasty is the best in the world. Maybe it is! We certainly enjoyed ours. I brought some saffron bread back as gifts too. They look amazing and well priced. Friendly staff.

Used Martins as they have a great assortment of cakes. Delicious saffron and heavy cake and then we saw the swiss rolls and thought the cherry one sounded lush,so one was bought. Now we thought the cherry referred to the filling but it was the cake mixture which had cherries in it and for a large cake we had about 6 pieces of cherry in,disappointed. Never mind every thing else was lovely with great service.

Came home from holiday yesterday and just had the first pasties we brought from martins , lovely . Had some saffron cake last night and that was delicious to. And my husband wishes he had brought some sausage rolls back cause he said they were the best he'd tasted in a long time .... big thumbs up here in Derbyshire.... hopefully be back down again soon

Bought bred buns for the morning breakfast, and their scones for our own afternoon tea, several times during our stay in Mevagissey. Lovely. And friendly staff.

Compramos unos bollos aquí pero él £1. 80 Pesada Tarta necesita ser probado! Es un cruce entre una especie de corto y pan - bastante densa, pero sabroso. Probablemente no, pero por el precio saludable, y el hecho de que parece una especialidad cornish, deberías probar!

Uno de sus empanadas gigantes se convirtió en el picnic para nuestra visita a Casa Lanhydrock. Todo sobre - el llenado, repostería y la corteza, era sabroso y satisfactorio. Los sencillos placeres de la comida son los mejores, especialmente cuando estás con hambre. Pasty Martin's me llevó de vuelta a la infancia cuando la comida era sencillo y nutritivo.

We called in and purchased a couple of excellent pastries, and take away coffees. Eaten while sitting on bench overlooking harbour. Much better than eating a cafe! (Weather was OK!)

Very good traditional pasties hot, fresh, tasty I would recommend giving them a try very good value for money

bought a couple of delicious pasties and shared a cake for lunch.excellent quality and the 3 lads serving were very polite and helpful.

This lovely village bakery has a very good selection of breads large or small also very tasty. There are some wonderful doughnuts, jam or ring which just taste superb. There are also some very nice cakes. There prices are good.

Whilst the staff all had a cake on the go when entering , we ordered some Viennese fingers a child hood delight....the shop was well stocked and cost of cake was very reasonable but was left a little disappointed with my choice of cake. Shame as there are plenty of lovely reviews about this bakery so guess it might have been just an off day, but the cake wasn't fresh and tasted a little stale

Called in for fresh rolls, white and brown were delicious. Scones on display, purchased a packet - glad we did -delicious.

You can smell the bakery the bread was so fresh we bought our bread from here. The home made cakes were delicious one day we went a little later and they had sold out of bread an batches so go early or you will be disappointed

This is the place for great cakes, and bread,and pasties,and pies or as Cornish folk say,Proper Job.

serving staff need to smile more, very poor selection for a bakery, the sweet counter was disgraceful, no crusty bread or rolls. seemed to be too much effort to serve us.

We called in for some pasties and came out with Saffron Cake, Cornish Heavy Cake, Scones and 4 pasties.Excellent baking and tastie pasties

We have only had pasties 3 times, so we are not experts, but these were good. Not the best I've eaten but good nonetheless and very reasonably priced.!

My son has an egg allergy and for the past 3 years we have placed special orders for egg fee pasties which has enabled my son to taste traditional Cornwall. Thanks to all the staff at Martin's bakery who have gone that extra mile to provide great customer service.

Just around the corner from the quay. Highly recommend the steak and Stilton pasties - simply delicious!

We got pasties, sausage rolls and scones from here. All delicious with great service from lovely staff. They were queuing out of the door at one point.

A very good bakers, we brought bread and Cornish Pasties there (which were the best that we had in Mevagissey).The staff were very friendly in the shop, to the point that on one visit, it was pointed out that I had 'gold dust' in my hair, which is the local term for seagull poo!I was given a wet paper towel to wash it off and a dry one to dry it with, that's great customer service!

Martins Bakery is tucked away in one of street just off the main Harbour side area.They sell a range of different pasties in various sizes, plus sausage rolls,scones etc. Nothing special, probably just below average as the pastry was acceptable, but it had insufficient filling. . The plus point is they are cheaper than many of their competitors in Mevagissy. The service was friendly and efficient.

A good choice of a variety of pasties and tasty sausage rolls at reasonable prices. Helpful and friiendly service. It is slightly hidden back from the harbour.

Quick friendly professional service, lovely scones, bread rolls, sliced and unsliced breads, open 9am till 5, easy to find in winding street area

Enjoying a winter break called in and bought 3 large pasties for £10-00. Once we'd cut through the pastry, much of which went in the bin, the filling contained very little meat or flavour. Would not use again!

Fantastic little bakery, loved the huge Cornish pasty and the stunning home-made slice of fruity chocolate tiffin. Can’t wait to taste more of their delicious baking.

I had read some good reviews on this shop so really wanted to try their pasties, always striving for the most traditional 'real' ones I can find! A very ordinary building from the outside, walked in and a very traditional old fashioned lay out inside. Mother and daughter serving us, we chatted to them and told them we were visiting off the back of trip advisor comments to which the Mother looked totally blank, clearly not understanding. The daughter was bemused and teased her Mum about not knowing about anything on the Internet and it is this that makes the place what it is, unpretentious.Pasties were absolutely delicious, we were offered hot or cold but we were taking them away with us so opted for cold. Also bought some Cornish saffron buns that also were superb! Love these old fashioned places with a certain ignorance of modern, Internet facilities, somehow makes them more special and niche in this day and age!

Went to the bakery late in the day, which really was our fault, so very little selection left. The Danish Pastries were average, the Scones were like saw dust. The Male assistant was probabley the worst I have ever encountered really didn't give a stuff and no sense of humour. Looked like he really didn't want to be there.

Had steak pasties here which came out of a warming cabinet and although they were tasty , well spiced and had proper meat in them were spoilt by the fact the pastry was soggy. They tasted like they had been reheated in the microwave.Staff not overly friendly.

Brash members of staff who's customer service is as stale as the rolls they serve. I wouldn't recommend this place and I certainly wouldn't return.

went there because it's my namesake great pasties at a good pricenot poncey like some try to be good honest food.

Has a large pasty, sausage roll and 2 drinks. I think they came to £8Tasted ok but I thought it was expensive for the quality.

Just what i expected, very tasty pasty, it is true Cornish pasties are better! Very friendly ladies serving.

The sausages rolls are delicious better the Pasty Presto but I have to agree the staff are a little brash.

My Wife and friends have to have a Cornish Pasty whilst visiting these 'ere parts, so when we spotted this particular bakery. I'm not an onion fan so left them to it, and a few minutes later the pasty had been scoffed with much delight.Excellent quality (I'm told), friendly staff and a massive choice of fillings. The queue out the door earlier

Very nice bakery the two ladies serving were most pleasant and helpful. Very good pasties well seasoned and better than the pasty presto offerings around the corner. The saffron buns were a delight would highly recommend

Not the most friendly staff, tried to make a little conversation but not much response!The sausage roll was very ordinary and the carrot cake was very dry

This is a local place and always busy. They have quite a few items. However, their fruit scones are the very best, fresh and loaded with raisins. I stopped by several times while we were visiting - just for the scones. They do have pasties that are good, but we preferred the Cornish Bakery around the corner for these.

I wanted fresh cream cakes, when I asked if the cream was fresh, the woman behind the counter looked at me with a puzzled look, and replied No. So I settled for 2 eclairs £2.00 and they were like eating flip flops . I didn't like the customer service or their choice of cakes..

Fabulous bakery. We bought the ingredients for a cream tea and it was just lovely. Scones second to none. Brought some home with us to extend that holiday feeling :-)

Nice Pasty, although a little peppery for our liking! Would go again and support this little bakery!

I am a pure bred Cornishman and I know my pastys. Martins produce some of the finest. I cannot pass the bakery if I am working in Mevagissey without buying at least a cocktail pasty. Oh yes, and the bread and cakes are great too. But mainly I love a Martins pasty. Wonderful.

Lovely friendly service, and the best bread for miles around. They also sell delicious pasties at lunchtime, plus milk and essentials if you run out. A really useful place to have.

The bread here is beautiful but the woman behind the counter are not nice they was sarcastic and rude one boy asked if she had a bag and the lady said yes thanks and looked away. Not freindly ladies at all. Bread very good though.

This little bakery is in the main village square and I'm sure that every resident stops in at least once a day! I personally enjoyed their morning rolls and scones - fresh, delicious and served by friendly ladies.

So fresh all home baked the smell was like a home bake bread but more choice .Use your loaf and pop in

Some standard bakery products from this central bakers. The custard slice was oddly lemony and the egg custard tart fine. I would return but not rush back. Service polite.
