Martins Dairy in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The fact that we had breakfast here every day of our holiday says it all. A small bakery with limited seating opposite a large pay for car park. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive on each of our 7 visits. The bacon rolls were very yummy, the Belgium buns Hugh and also yummy and prices very reasonable. Dog friendly too, what’s not to love. We will definitely be back on our next trip

Completely tasteless. Boiled potato and onion, no seasoning to speak of and barely a tablespoon of meat in a large £5.00 pasty.

Went here for Coffee and scones. Was Delicious . Friendly staff. Could see small bakery out the back fun to watch everything coming out in the morning it all smells great. Busy spot

This is such a rip off. The pasty looks good but it is full of air with virtually no filling. A slither of onion and a couple of undercooked potato slices. No flavour. No cheese in a cheese and onion pasty. It is all just pastry. Avoid.

We always enjoy visiting Martins for breakfast and treats on our visits to Looe. The bacon rolls are yummy, the Belgium buns Hugh and the jam donuts top class. The staff were welcoming and friendly, service efficient and prices more than reasonable. Well worth a visit.

I can’t comment on the pasties or cakes that they sell, but their scones are 100% the best I’ve had . You will not be disappointed with a cream tea there

Somewhere in the last 18 months this place has gone to pieces. Last time I visited it was excellent. Today, the staff are ignorant, rude and really don’t care. The food is terrible, cheese and onion pasty with no cheese in it, just potato and no seasoning. Choux bun that’s burnt underneath the topping. No provision for kids whatsoever…. And very overpriced to boot. Don’t bother… there are far more welcoming and wholesome places to eat only a short walk away.

The pasties in the window display looked nicer than the ones actually sold inside. Bought pasties to take back to London, they were potato pies really, spot the missing meat, no pepper so very tasteless. Scones were okay but the cream bought there (on the 18th) in date until the 22nd was mouldy when I checked it on the way home! Funny as the cream on display was dated the 29th! This must have been “under the counter, let’s get rid of it stuff”. The staff member serving was arrogant and stroppy. Just shoved the card machine in front of me without even telling me how much I needed to pay - really! Learn some manners young lady. This shop is best avoided.

Bought two large pasties, the most tasteless, bland pastie we had ever tasted, might as well of eaten the paper bag it was served in! Absolutely disgusting and not cheap

Been to Cornwall many times over the years several prior covid. I had a large beef pasty that was delicious. It was certainly large. Outer pastry case was very light and good. The filling was very generous filling the outer pastry case with beef and vegetables. The Bakewell tart I purchased at the same time was also of a very high quality. No wonder there was a long queue waiting to be served. Highly recommended.

Cute cafe / bakery. Dog friendly and with absolutely delicious coffee - good plant milk options for vegan / veggies. Didn’t eat but the bread and cakes looked absolutely yummy and the place was packed with locals so always a good sign!

Waitress was rude cream tea with no tea jam and cream came in a sealed pot for takeaway yet we ate in.

We wanted to sample the Cornwall scone - cream - jam tasting sensation . It wasn’t the finesse I thought it would be , no frills . It tasted ok

We had a week in Looe and made the point of going to Martins for breakfast every day. Their Belgium Buns are massive and yummy and the bacon rolls top class. We have been going there for a week for the last few years and find it’s a great way to start the day. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming, it’s dog friendly and prices are reasonable.

We pop in being locally. Lovely pizza and sausage rolls. Quick and efficient service. Worth it if you want grab a snack .

Staff really rude and moody. Although we visited early in the morning the cakes and sausage roll were stale. Pretty disappointing.

You’d never eat a pasty again if this was your first experience! We rarely have them as it’s not our staple diet so this is a treat. Ridiculously bland except for over the top pepper to try and disguise the minuscule amount of meat I’ve ever seen in a ‘traditional’ Cornish pasty. I feel that this place by far let’s the true Cornish down. I dread to think what delights I’d find in ‘The Miners’ version. There was so much potato it could cause a potato famine and the teeny amount of carrot I found couldn’t keep the tiniest creature alive. Never ever would we buy from there again. After speaking to locals who confirmed what we’d found. They don’t shop there. Huge disappointment. On the plus, they offer vegetarian options. They’re not telling fibs! Rip off doesn’t come close. It was the ONLY bakery with stacks of pasties, every other were sold out completely, hence our desperation. Oh and one of the young members of staff thought it was appropriate to mumble a sarcastic remark when a fellow customer politely asked for a drink of coffee. How on earth they’re still in business I don’t know. Who are these people who rave about this produce?!

Visited for a lunchtime pasty, great VFM, pasties very tasty and full of filling. Very competitive priced compared to others in immediate area. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Visited in half term, overall appearance of cafe poor. Broken plastic chairs, dirty floor, cold coffee. Staff questioning was what ordered, surely the choice is that of the customer.If it wasn’t that kids were thirsty would not have stayed. Was shocked at prices when bill arrived ( I know things have gone up) totally overpriced for the stale cakes we had. Would not recommend or visit again. Went to a pub down the road for lunch and drinks bill for that was only £ 7.00 more than cakes & coffee.

Today i went martin, i had me pasty to take away. ye see, i got me pasty and it was cold, so i asked for it to be warmed up which seemed to be a problem for the worker. I got it back still cold but i just accepted it, i bit into me pasty and it was lovely, a nice taste to it despite my old taste buds. Furthermore, the tables were very sticky due to the sanitation on them, very uncomfterble. The price of said pastys is mental, to be honest, im on me pension and i cant afford to spend £4.30 each day. Occasionally, martins dairy is a nice place to eat, however on the most part its rushed, tacky, gross, and not very thoughtful, let alone the price of it. Personally would not recommend

When in Looe we always visit here for pasties and cakes as takeaway. The food is always superb. We stayed for lunch this time while visiting Looe. The service, coffee and food was all great as we expected. Next time in Looe will be going...

I can’t recommend Martins Bakery in Looe enough. Had the best scone and steak pasty I have ever tasted

Me and my family had a lovely cream tea and my girls had two chocolate brownie, which they said were delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful, would use again next time in Looe.

What an amazing place. Popped in with our granddaughter. Made to feel so welcome. The pasty was amazing, the coffee as good as it gets, the doughnut was demolished by my granddaughter, and the custard slice was probably the best I've had and there's been...

Freezing cold, rock hard and tasted awful. I live in Cornwall and have eaten many a pasty and can honestly say this was the worst I've ever eaten. Don't be fooled by the way they look.

The best bakery in Looe; a must if you're in the area! They offer the most delicious local produce, including pasties of course and the most scrumptious Belgian buns I've ever had the pleasure to taste!

My family and I visited Looe yesterday and came across Martin's Dairy tearoom. We were keen to try their local Cornish fare! We found the tearoom very clean, the large hot pasties were delicious and our child enjoyed the cheese and ham bagette. We tried...

I love traditional bakers and this one fit the bill perfectly. Best cream tea I had during my stay in Cornwall and excellent value for money. Could eat here every day.

We stopped for a delicious freshly baked cream tea - so large we should have shared one! Nice table service

What a discovery of an unassuming place to eat and purchase snacks. The ice cream was delicious and we bought panochoch every day. The pasties were great also and the young staff friendly and helpful

One of the very few places to get breakfast at around 8am! I had the scrambled egg on toast & my partner had the bacon bap. Both were generous portions & greatly welcomed. The large coffee was fresh not instant & also welcome. You need...

A lovely little cafe/shop with the best/biggest scones, great pasties and very friendly staff. What’s not to like.

WILL be going back to try more of their product! Great products, freshly baked on site every morning and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!! Thanks guys!

Open today Sunday, Delicious pasties, bread and fruit loaf, bought today will recommend your bakery. We took our pasties home to eat as the weather too wet to sit by beach

got take away from here whilst staying in Looe. Cream tea and pasties - yum yum. They were so good that we took some take aways back to Yorkshire, our neighbours and we loved the cream teas and the pasties.

Best cream tea I have ever had. And I have had a few over my years on this planet! Scones were fantastic ( we had the fruit ones) Loads of cream and jam too . And you can order on line and get a delivery....

Ignore the numpty below who said it was 'the worst pasty ever' then went on to say they'd never eaten a pasty before.... Seriously? They clearly don't like pasties, full stop. I have moved back home to Looe and I only buy my pasties from...

Takeaway cream tea for 4 people for £6 I thought there must be a catch.... I couldn’t have been more wrong! The scones were light and fresh, and a large tub of clotted cream & medium jar of jam were provided - absolute bargain! If...

Picked up two pasties for our lunch..... One lamb and mint and one traditional. Both were stone cold and had very little meat in either. Just potatoes and onion... very expensive for something this disappointing!! Wont be retuning here, I'm sure there are far better...

Possibly the best pasties in Looe. The strawberry tarts and scones are really good too. Pastry could do with being a little thinner on the custard tarts. Carrot cake is very tasty.

This place has the best pasties and cakes and so so cheap! Proper home made savouries, my pasty was delicious. Staff were so polite and friendly. Don't go to the national chains selling mass produced pasties, stop here for a proper one!!

This place is amazing. Please please pop in. We bought to take out. Fresh made daily. The pasties are fabulous!! Eccles cakes omg man. It’s just delicious. The sausage rolls are enormous. It’s so cheap too. Totally worth it.

We checked TripAdvisor to find a recommended place in Looe for a cream tea, Martin's Dairy had good reviews so we gave it a try this afternoon. We were not disappointed,all the staff were friendly and welcoming. As for the cream tea..... absolutely delicious. Huge scones, jam and the biggest dish of clotted cream!!! A lovely pot of tea along side just made it perfect. Only a small area with seating but very clean and spaced well apart from other tables. Good value for money too. Only have two scones if you have a big appetite!!!

Brilliant pasties and service as normal when we visit. The pasties are superb and all made on site along with the huge scones and Belgian buns. Not to be missed!

Warm scone lovely texture with sultanas. Add clotted cream and strawberry jam all washed down with a nice pit of tea. Good service. Simply great.

we had a range of different pasties/sizes and also the cream tea. the large pasties are a very big eat and good value for money. The cream tea consists of 4 very large scones (you can mix up plan and fruit), together with a pit of jam and their own clotted cream - very delicious

Looking in the window of Martins Dairy you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in for a real Cornish treat. Had I not had a pasty before I don’t think that I would have had another one after today. I had a traditional pasty And whilst visually it looked great the contents were far from what constitutes a pasty. If you you like a minuscule amount of cheap flavourless minced meat and love onions this is the pasty for you. It was 90% onion, 8% potato/swede and 2% meat. It was so bad I took it back and was told that maybe that batch wasn’t good and given a replacement which was equally as bad. Even my dog turned its nose up at it and it was placed where it rightfully belonged - in the bin.My son’s had a cheese and onion pasty which didn’t fair much better. The pastry was floppy and the filling was 80% onion and 20% cheese. I thought it would be impossible to get a bad pasty in Cornwall - alas I was wrong. Martin’s Dairy holds that crown for sure.

We was told about this place by passing a family who had been so we decided to go and see for ourselves and am i glad we did.We had a cornish pasty and sausage roll. The sausage roll was more or less all sausage with a lovely layer of pastry and the corniche pasty was also the same they were very big and very filling it keeps you full for a very long time great to take with you and enjoy as a meal, all covid safe even a seating area for a small group of people. Staff nice and friendly.

Always get our pasties here when in our favourite cornish holiday spot looe. They are excellent and good value if you buy a box to take home. Cakes are fab too lovely great big chelsea buns. Yum Yum well done martins dairy.

The best belgium buns we have had, highly recommend. Cornish pasty and Chelsea buns were immense too, visit this bakery for sure if visiting.

My wife bought pasties and cakes. If this was the first pastie I’d ever tasted I wouldn’t bother again. I thought it lacked seasoning, was mainly onion with a little tasteless meat and a tiny bit of suede. Really disappointed I have to say. On the other hand I thought the cakes were really, really nice. Never seen such a big Belgian Bun and wow it was fresh and delicious. So yes I would definitely use for again for cakes but not pasties. The service was good.

Service was good, the shop was a bit cramped at lunch time. I asked for strong tea and they provided extra tea bags no problem. Prices were very reasonable. Cream tea with scones looked great, and so did the pasties. The staff did not have much room to move behind the counter/fridges; the venue could do with a bit of a makeover to make it more user friendly.

Friendly staff, lovely ice cream, very good VFM. A decent choice of savouries or something for the sweet teeth. Would definitely recommend.

Dropped in on our usual Christmas break! Fabulous pasties as usual. Great value for money and all made by hand in their own bakery. Lovely, huge, cakes also and super welcoming staff!

Great pasties and epic cakes at very reasonable prices - get there early though as they sell out quickly.

Came here a tried there Lamb and Mint pasty. Truly terrible is all I can say. A few pieces of dried up, tasteless lamb and no mint flavour at all. The seasoning is non existent and 95% of it is sloppy potato and onion. To Martins Dairy....bigger and better places have fallen by the wayside because they dont care about what they are selling to their customers. Learn from this. It is also amazing that you dont reply to any comments made on TripAdvisor. It's time to rethink what you are doing....maybe 2020 will be that time.

Always a service with a smile beautiful fresh scones cakes and bread. Good pasties and pastries and super takeaway cream teas.

Went in here a couple of times while staying in Looe. Lovely cakes and cream teas, and the pasties are amazing!! That good that I bought 4 extras to bring home to Hampshire with me!

I recently visited this lovely homely bakery/cafe. My experience here was second to none, I had my Cornish pasty, there was a generous portion of meat in the pasty, it was well presented and the taste was mouth watering. The Staff were very friendly, the aroma of the fresh in baking in the background was delightful.

I had the pleasure of visiting this very friendly bakery on a weekend trip to Looe. I ate a delicious Cornish pasty for lunch, which was so good that I decided to return to the bakery the next day to have another of their pasties (cheese and onion), as well as a tasty cream tea. Everything I ate was excellent and very reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend!

Bought a large pasty, 3 tiny pieces of meat, no swede, mainly potato & onion, no seasoning. Worst pasty ever had from there. They used to be so good, had them from there for years, were always great until now. Such a shame☹️

Stopped in whille I was at work to buy a pasty and a doughnut and to be quite honest with you it is the worst pasty ive ever had It was supposed to be a steak pasty but the cow must’ve gotten up and buggered off as there was no meat the rest of the filling was bland and kind of tasted like fish Worryingly

We've been down for our usual visit to Looe and it would never be the same without popping in to Martin's Dairy. We took back a box of the scrummy, traditional pasties for all the family. Fantastic smell in the car - can't beat them! We also had our usual cream tea and huge cakes. Sorry to see you appear to have a troll commenting on you!

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous fruit scones with jam & clotted cream. Lovely Cornish tea. Fabulous value for money. Definitely recommend

So many places to stop for a cream tea in and around Looe but we chose Martins. It looked clean, tidy, and friendly, and it was.

I come into Looe every summer and make a b-line for this super bakery. Everything made on the premises. The pasties are my highlight with fresh local produce and proper beef skirt. Can't beat it for taste and value. Always super busy and friendly staff. Well worth it when on holiday!

Happy to pay £3.90 for a decent pasty but this wasn’t a decent pasty. Almost all dry onion and potato with tiny sliver of meat. Won’t be back.

An obligatory stop when in the South West, my friends and I always drop by for a cream tea (or two) and take some delicious pasties away with us! Martins Dairy is a great little family bakery with wonderfully friendly staff and local goodies on sale too - make sure you get some of the lovely Looe Valley honey!

I love ice cream from Martins Dairy! Best flavours in town and their 'small' size cornet is quite large!!!

We had lunch here and regretted it. The pasties were 80% onion and 20% meat, not even mixed together in the pasty. Just awful.

Dropped in just before they were closing.. I mean who can resist a DIY cream team for 2 for under a fiver! Quality jam and rods clotted cream and scones that are fluffy and incredibly light... taste is sublime!

Visited Martin's while we were on a day out in Looe. The bakery has a great range of baked goods and the prices are excellent. We had a delicious cream tea with a lovely pot of tea and a coffee. The staff were very friendly.

It's a rarity to find a local, family run bakery these days, that isn't 'artisan', a multinational (e.g. Costa or Gregg's) or overpriced and gentrified. Martin's Diary was affordable, unpretentious and friendly; after a day's walking their baked Cornish Pasty was belting. So good in fact, that I returned on following days for a Cherry Shortbread and Chelsea Bun for the drive home. Very good quality, locally-sourced and very affordable. It's no wonder the choice cakes sell fast!

We didn't eat in, we just bought scones for a "do it yourself" cream tea. They were utterly wonderful, chunky and fresh with a crunchy crust and soft fluffy interior.
