Pasty Presto in Mendip

We stopped here for a coffee/tea whilst shopping in the outlet centre. We ordered a flat white and a breakfast tea and a slice of Carrot Cake. The Carrot cake was very good. The only 'downside' they don't accept cash (card only) and after i had ordered our drinks I decided I would order the cake (the staff member was quite offish about it,perhaps she was on an off-day),but overall the place was ok.

We popped into the cornish bakery just for tea and coffee but got distracted by the cheese and ham croissant which was really delicious and equally gorgeous was the salted caramel croissant,the flat white coffee was very nice,our food had us making hmmm noises..so good, and the staff were very nice and pleasant,if your in street you must pop in and treat yourself.

Great staff, super friendly manager, can tell she really loves her job and her team. Food is delicious, mouth watering and you can wash it down with the most amazing coffee I have ever tasted in my life

Great breakfast pastries. Went for the bacon and cheese croissant which was lovely with a nice creamy cheese. Service was quick and efficient, tables all clean and plenty of seats. Black coffee was also really good.

Love this place, half way through shopping nice to sit outside, with coffee and delicious pastry. The lovely 'baker' who seems to have been there forever, acknowledged me! We perhaps go twice a year, she is so charming and welcoming. A star.

We came here a year ago on holiday. Returning this year it was just as good. Great bakery items - we had breakfast pastries this time. The staff are lovely and friendly. There is a very good atmosphere generally and their attention to detail in staying on top of clearing tables and cleaning up is a master class for other establishments to copy! Great coffee too although fairly pricey for the amount you get. You get what you pay for though and it’s worth it. Although we didn’t have Cornish pasties this time the smell was mouthwatering! Maybe next time!

I had the most amazing Cheese Scone I had ever eaten. I would highly recommend everyone trying one. I cannot wait to return and have another.

Always must when we go to street. Staff friendly and helpful. Full range available and fresh looking. We have pasty to eat in and often have scone or pastry to take away.

The best coffee in town and run by a great team. The recent facelift given to the interior looks very good and the new outside seating area will be put to good use if it ever stops raining! Being local and frequent visitors, this is our “go to” stop for coffee.

Lunchtime visit. Very busy but we were serviced promptly and found a table. My husband had the chicken tikka pasty and I had the traditional one. Both were very tasty. To follow with had the lovely Portuguese custard tarts which were delicious. Although the place was busy the tables were cleared promptly and the staff dealt very well with the queues

Being a regular customer it’s easy to take changes and improvements for granted. However the recent improvements are worthy a mention. New outside seating with planter and a new awning are great additions which will be ideal in the summer.Great service and staff as always.

We enjoyed a quick lunch here sitting in the ouside area. The Pasties were great, and there were also alternative lunch items. The pastries we had were delicious too - flakey and well-filled.

Had the best example of a traditional Cornish pasty that I have had in years, perfect tender steak, soft potatoes, not too peppery. My wife had a delicious bacon cheese and leak pasty. Almond and cherry bakewell was sadly bland.

Always superb service at Cornish Bakery - staff helpful and happy. Service is quick and efficient. Rhubarb pasty is divine. Best iced mocha.

Great place. Friendly, happy staff despite it being busy and they all looked tired. Tables were cleared away and cleaned promptly. Recommended

Visited here for a pasty and drink after a long day shopping.Was greeted by a really happy and helpful male member of staff. Advised me of all vegetarian opitions available and made a outstanding coffee also!Was really impressed with the service and the overall hygiene measures in place!Highly recommend!

Amazing food and coffee and the place was clean and spotless not a single fault loved it will definitely be come back here again when I visit

Was greeted by a very friendly and polite man at the door who attended to our every need! Service was brill and so was the food! For the price we paid, it was definitely worth it! Will definitely be coming back! Great staff members and atmosphere

We visited this site today not at all amused.Where do I start when we entered the premises I was looking forward to our coffee and pasty, this soon turned to dread as we walked up the queue I started to notice that the place was filthy this filled me with dread We noticed that the tea pots that where being use looked like they hadn’t been washed tea stains and dribble on the outside o saw one had the lid turn upside dawn and this had tea stains yuck yuck yuck When was waiting for my coffee to be made which by now I had changed to take away, we saw that the cups on top of the coffee machine where as bad as the teapots dribble makes down the outside trays weren’t clean coffee stain all over them I was not amused The whole place inside and our where unkept tables filthy floor disgusting In the outside setting area there was food. Napkins and general debris on the floor come on the manager wakes wake When we sat down on a bench outside the shop I was looking forward to my £4.00 pasty I bit into it and found in was 80% potatoes with 20% steak and Stilton.Not amused we are going through a pandemic and expect a lot better from an leading chain of coffee shops you should be looking after use not putting us in danger to to poor staff practices

Excellent friendly service as always. Food and coffee always the best. Nicest place to eat in Clarks village.

Absolutely loved the food..wonderful pastries. The staff were so friendly & chatty. Will be visiting again

Good food and service and the tables are cleared and cleaned between customers - however music was terrible and too loud. Found it difficult to have a relaxing lunch and a nice chat!! Swanage one is so much nicer.

Came in on a very rainy Sunday afternoon for a quick bite to eat for lunch. We sat down and the seating area was a bit messy and unclean but it was very busy so I assume this is why. However, I had a Cheese & Onion pasty and it was delicious! 100% recommended!!

Bought two cheese and onion pasties, which we’re delicious and well filled. We were really pleased, as the pasties were still hot when we got back to the car, five minutes after purchasing. The biggest plus for us, was the service we received, as a smile and a bit of cheerful respectful banter is always good to raise your mood. Well done the Cornish Bakery

We had coffee and breaky here at the Cornish Bakery primarily because our usual stop was closed due to staff shortages. We used to use the bakery several times a week a number of years ago but after the size of the coffee cups reduced and the prices went up we parted company. There were also a number of management changes which didn’t help either. What was great about this visit is that the three staff members on duty that morning, Ben, Dora and Katie, were still there from when we used to visit and it was great to catch up with them all. It was unfortunate that the bakery had ceased serving the bacon and cheese croissants and still used the small cups for the Americano coffee but to be fair the food we did have was okay. Great staff, good service and it was nice to be back after so long. Will we return? Probably not but don’t be deterred, small cups may be to your liking.

We're regular visitors to this branch. Always receive a warm welcome, amazingly friendly staff, great coffee and pastries. Would recommend to all. 10/10.

Second visit today to this particular Cornish bakery. Good coffee, pleasant staff but 2 pasties with next to no meat in them. Shame really as always enjoy them normally.

We had coffee and teas in the cafe and I bought Pasties and scones to takeaway. Service was great and food is fantastic.As far as previous comments about the refusal to take cash payment I would point out that it was quite clearly marked at the entrance that no cash transactions are accepted in the present climate.

I look forward to having a treat at The Cornish Bakery, but today, I was very dissapointed at the service I received. While the lady who served me, proceeded to put my takeaway order together, I got my money ready to pay. When she saw the £10 pound note i had in my hand, she said they donot take cash. I then said, I have never experienced this here, and then she laughed.

Amazing Coffee and Cornish food.Amazing Coffee with a lovely fresh selection of pastries and savory items.The staff here are fab really friendly and helpful.

Just a note to praise the patience and professional nature of the manager and staff in the face of the abuse and ignorance shown by a couple when asked very politely to wear a mask whilst in the queue. How they kept there cool and remained professional in the face of such a volley of abuse makes them stand out as being a credit to your company. All the other customers in the queue were disgusted by this couples verbal attack on the staff and made our feelings known as the staff stuck to there tasks manfully. Well done to all staff involved.

Amazing place for a spot a tea and a Thai chicken pasty yummy and it’s a bonus ya don’t get those pesky seagulls nicking ya food bonus !!

Great pit stop whilst shopping. Friendly and efficient service from the staff, and all very clean and tidy. The food was really tasty and the coffee was excellent.

Best coffee! Nice and friendly place with excellent coffee. Highly recommended. Clean and tidy. Very kind and helpful staff.

Managed to get my children out for a walk with the promise to take them for a pasty and drink. We visited Street Clarks Village branch and we were all very satisfied with our delicious selection of pasties, coffee and milkshakes. My coffee was as always the best I’ve found! Very well organised Covid restrictions and warm and friendly welcome. Highly recommended!

Me and my partner have been visiting this bakery for a while and I've got to say we have always been really pleased with everything. The staff are really friendly and you can tell they really care for what they do, specially keeping everyone safe during this strange time! Quality of food and drink is spectacular and always fresh out of the oven. Can't wait to visit again

Visited as I needed a warm drink on a cold day. Lovely friendly staff, very tasty hot chocolate, I’ll go back next time I’m in the area.

I went there today with my family and had no idea what to order. The gentleman behind the counter was very polite despite me causing a queue and recommended a pasty that I would never normally choose however I thought I would give it a go and it was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend visiting to anyone as they seem to cater for a whole variety of customers both vegan and vegetarian as well as offering a selection of sandwiches! The customer service was excellent I never felt rushed despite my indecisiveness!!Thank you very much for making my day!

Amazing Coffee and Cornish Pudding! The team were wonderful as usual. Great selection of pastries and savoury items. The rarebit is was delicious too.

I travelled 20 miles today as I really fancied one of the Cornish Bakery’s lovely scones. The team at Street are always friendly and the cakes and pasties are consistently delicious. I ended up taking home 4 scones and 4 warm pasties. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area....they serve a good cup of coffee too. I shall be back...again!

Food was lovely and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the visit. Will definitely come back again.

amazing service, very friendly staff and atmosphere is great. food and drinks also good, will definitely be coming back here :)

A delightful break from retail therapy. Very good coffee with a fairly decent Cornish pasty. The staff are very friendly with a very cheerful greeting from the lady taking the Track and Trace details.You don't get a second chance at first impressions.

Staff at the West Bay Bakery very friendly and efficient. Coffee is excellent and so are the pasties.

Had a lovely visit with very helpful staff waiting for me to make up my mind which cake to have, best coffee in the village.

Had a nice coffee but one member of staff was incredibly rude when I asked if I could sit in the window seat. One of our party is claustrophobic...All it took was to say “once I’ve cleaned up then of course”. I should add the other staff were lovely.....just a bad egg! After a bad morning, we made a bee lone for a coffee and wasn’t met with much Christmas cheer! As I tell my children, manners cost nothing!

Great location, fabulous food and amazing service, thanks for having screens in place to make everyone feel safe

Brilliant coffee and food was superb and and very safe environment would highly recommended plus the location is great after a day a shopping

all the staff seemed keen and efficient, the eating areas were super clean and cleaned well after each diner. The pasties are lovely, really hot so be careful, a definite recommended stop off with a wide menu and good value

Visited on a Very wet Saturday..Met by lovely helpful girl at door..We waited had a very shorty wait for table inside. The fresh food looked lovely, I had a scone (wish I had ordered two !!) while my partner had sausage roll..Both items very nice..we did wish we had tried the Cornish pasty however as they looked wonderful...Drinks hot ( which is not always the case now a days )..Place was kept spotless with continued cleaning taking place so no issue with virus worries .. Would recommend .

Absolutely fantastic service today, was reassuring to see staff very focused on maintaining a safe environment.Food was fresh, tasty and enjoyed by all.Would highly recommend.

What a shame. We have always had a good experience in this cafe before lockdown. On Friday, we queued for ages and once inside, told that we had to wear masks even though we were eating in. Once we ordered they told us that we couldn't have a dog with us. When we explained that we have always been able to have our dog in their cafe in the past, we were confronted by two women who barked at us that they are no longer welcome. The female staff were really rude and confrontational. There were NO SIGNS at the beginning of the queue to say that dogs are not allowed and as mentioned before, flies over all the pasties. Luckily, the pub across the road is dog friendly, have friendly staff and great food so we will head there in the future. Let's face it CORNISH BAKERY, it only takes one bad experience to lose custom, especially these days....

When you're queuing up for food somewhere, the last thing you want to see in the window, is wasps crawling all over the food. Wish I took a photo now, but there was at least 5 wasps one on pasty. Are they there for display? I don't know, either way, when we saw this, we both instantly turned away in disgust.

We visited the clarkes out let and thought of grabbing something to eat here. I was waiting in the que not for long and there was sanitizer to use on entry, but as I was waiting I saw around 6 wasps flying around and landing on the food, whilst I understand that they fly anywhere and everywhere there should be appropriate coverings over the scones in the window, sandwiches, and pasties so wasps and flies cant land on the food they are about to serve. I quietly left the que as this did put me off, and went to Gregg's on the main high street instead.

I'm a fussy sod when it comes to pastries and this place blew me away. I had a Glastonbury pasty and a swirl which to be honest... changed my life. I will be aggressively positive about how good the pastries are here and will personally challenege anyone who disagress . Polite staff and everything looked well kept.

Visited the Cornish bakery last week and it definitely did not disappoint. This was the first time I had been out for lunch since before lockdown and I was slightly dubious however I need not have been. The Cornish bakery was absolutely spotless, safety measures were in place, and staff meticulously cleaning and sterilising. Regardless of all this, the Cornish bakery still remains a lovely, welcoming place to visit. And not to mention, the food is fantastic! Will definitely be returning.

Recently visited with the new safety measurements in place. It felt very safe and the staff were following a good cleaning/safety practice. The staff were friendly and welcoming and it felt like a very safe and inviting place to visit.

This was the first time I had ventured out for lunch since before lockdown and The cornish bakery did not disappoint. Safety measures were in place without losing the feel of eating in. The whole restaurant was spotless and staff were constantly cleaning and sterilising tables, chairs.The food and service were fantastic with the manager Adam being very attentive to all his guests.Can guarantee my return everytime I'm in street.

Very safe and clean spot brilliant food and coffee love coming here when I get the chance glad you guys are back

I visited the cornish bakery on Sat. I was impressed with the way the staff and shop had dealt with making it a safe place for me to visit.Some other visitors find it hard to follow the rules to make it safe for both staff and customersWell done TCB, Street

Called into the Cornish Bakery Friday whilst shopping at Street. Had a tasty warm Cornish Pasty and my wife had a Scone, with jam and cream all supported with a refreshing coffee. Everything was fresh, warm, tasty and served with a smile including a good deal of banter. Prices were very competitive. Highly recommended eatery especially in the viral times we find ourselves in.

So great to have the team at Street back, missed the taste of a real coffee with a delicious pasty. Reassured by the measures taken in store to keep social distance, felt totally safe getting my take out. A very welcome step back towards “normality”.

Best service, very safe, delicious food and coffee. Glad you are back. High recommended!! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

No Apricot Croissants!! This is a good way to increase sales at Costa. Nearly everybody complaining. Please re-instate

Surprising to find this food outlet here, they provide great service with quality food, freshley baked, and tasting great.

We last visited the Clarks Village branch of the Cornish Bakery a couple of years ago, and at that time we particularly enjoyed the Cornish pasties. This time we were looking forward to repeating the experience, but we were very disappointed. About three quarters of the pasty was filled with a tasteless mixture of potato and carrot/turnip and the meat that there was there was hard, tasteless and concentrated along the edge of the pasty, consequently not mixed in with the vegetables, which would have been much more enjoyable. Considering each pasty cost £4.80 to eat in, we thought it was a very poor offer.

What a lovely jolly gent Adam is. The display is always full, looks like they have amazing stock control. Must be really hard to maintain.

This was a great reward for stretching my goodwill and going shopping at Clark's Village. Not looking forward to the event, The Cornish Bakery provided a great surprise: one of the best coffees I've ever had (and I'm very fussy about coffee) and a great array of super cakes and light dishes. In the future I'll just park myself here while others do retail roaming.

We are local to the area and use the Cornish Bakery in Clark’s Village certainly more than 3 or 4 times a week. We have plenty of choice for coffee and eats, but we absolutely love this place. Great selection of food of the highest quality. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and very good at their jobs. Tables get cleared and cleaned regularly and quickly which is always a plus and it is clear that the whole team work well and efficiently under an excellent manager. Also today we met the owner who was really nice. Can’t speak highly enough about this place. Keep up the good work team

Loved our snack of bacon and cheese cruissant and a cheesy mushroom on bread, loved them. Clean tables and friendly staff.

I always visit Clarks Village, every time I am in Somerset. My family and I have our own particular shops to go to but always meet up in this lovely bakery. They make awesome Cornish pasties, quiches ,melts and sandwiches. Not to mention their fresh and healthy salads to go with it or as meal. It’s cosy and warm, and most of all the toilets are just right next to it! The coffee is good and strong, just the way I like it. It’s a lovely place for a snack or a meal and just hits the spot!

If you are looking for a cafe with good value, great tasting food, happy & welcoming staff, then head to the Cornish Bakery in Clarks Village. After we had the cheese on toast with mushrooms and homemade tortilla for lunch, they were so delicious, we went back to the cafe a few hours later to buy more to take home with us. If you like croissants, the Cherry & Almond ones are a must. When we next visit Street, we will most certainly head straight for the Cornish Bakery again. Worth a visit just for the Cheese on Toast.

Archie, the Golden Retriever took us to The Cornish Bakery at Clarks Village this morning, where the staff were lovely, we had great coffee, a freshly baked scone, a pain au raisin and he got a bowl of water and some of a delicious sausage roll! Everyone made us feel very welcome and even Archie's enthusiastic attention to his water bowl caused no problems to the attentive staff. Good choice Archie, we shall certainly visit again.

Me and my wife both had veggie tortillas and salads and it was delicious. Busy as ever without affecting excellent customer service . Honestly THe best place to eat and have a great cup of coffee in Clarks Village. Highly recommended .

Visited here yesterday and it was so busy the staff managed it so well and served us within great time. They were very understanding of certain allergies and we're very attending to our needs. The pasties were amazing quality and the desserts were to die for, all for a reasonable price. Will definitely be visiting again.

Have been using this cafe since it took over presto some years back and was shocked to be told that they had sold out of the above by 11am on the 22nd december,cant believe this when there is a sainsburys etc minutes away,whats wrong with sending a member of staff to get some,you were not busy and from what we witnessed several customers left without purchasing drinks.This should not happen if well managed,no excuse im afraid guys.

We have previously been here at it be really nice but not this morning . I tried a delicious looking Bacon & Cheese Panini, but in was cooked inside a plastic wrap which fused itself to the panini. When I complained they did make another still in a plastic wrap. But still a bit fused. I was hungry so ate anyway.

Ok for a quick snack or even pasty and reasonable selection too. Carrot cake was good too. Very busy but service seemed quick.

Am sat here having had a lovely bit to eat, it’s busy but tables are cleared quickly. This is nearly always my lunch spot when I am visiting Street. The staff are all friendly and helpful even at the busiest times.

We didn’t try the pasties, but they did look good. We had toasted sandwiches which were very tasty.

The pasties are great. Good selection, well presented and ample seating to eat one.

When we arrived in Clarks Village we were hungry and this was one of the first places we found. I had an apricot croissant and my friend had a raspberry and almond one. What a treat. We were going back at the end of our trip to take some home but they had sold out.

My four friends and I were looking forward to afternoon tea here as cakes all looked very inviting . We all chose what we were going to have along with our drinks . Everything was paid for and I requested an additional tea bag as I like very strong tea I have never ever had this problem where ever I go and believe me we go a lot out for tea everyone is always happy to add another tea bag to the pot. But I was told you have to buy another pot of tea £1.80. Wont be returning found it very mean obviously they only have weak tea drinkers in their establishment.

I tried the cornish bakery in Clarke's village. I was very impressed with all aspects of the service, even a smile from the helpful manager Adam who could not do enough to help. Thank you guys

Very fast and efficient. Everyone was very friendly. Good quality food. Was very happy in the end. Highly recommend

Wife and friends went today. Ordered cheese and onion pasties each. Given burnt and so hard that it was impossible to eat, returned them and was given a meat pasty!!! Returned that one only to be given another burnt hard cheese and onion pasty. Total fiasco, wouldn't darken their door again.

Often visit here with my family and am never disappointed. Lovely food and drinks with helpful friendly staff.

What a great little spot for a pasty and the a coffee both were to die for proper Cornish experience well done guys I take my hat off for ya well happy

Visited twice.... two months apart....

I visited this outlet about 3 days ago, despite the time I got there, most items were all available, and it was great to enjoy a fab cup of coffee. Having a dog can make it difficult to get a cup of coffee and pasty, and sit inside, but at the bakery, it was nice to sit with the dog and enjoy the food. The staff were very helpful .Will definitely visit again

Went with family and was so disappointed. Paid 12.50 for two pasty and two small bottles of water. The pasty was all pastry and dry and stoggy ( see pic ) only two small pieces of meat in a so called steak pasty.. Didn’t eat it. Also luke warm . Wouldn’t ever go again.

Tucked away just off the beaten track in Clarks Village and with some outside seating, this branch of the Cornish Bakery is spacious and popular. It's a great place to just relax and enjoy their pastry.

The pasty was over dry and hard and the carrot cake was very dry. Won't be visiting again.on the positive side the coffee was good.

I have visited the Cornish Bakery in Clark’s Village every week during August, sometimes alone, sometimes with my wife. On every occasion there have been wasps flying around and crawling over the various food items, cakes, savouries etc. Generally a big put off and particularly for me with my allergy to wasp stings. The staff seemed unperturbed and continued to serve items that wasps had just “tasted”.

Came in for my usual ham and cheese croissant but was persuaded by the extremely friendly manager to try the new vegan pasty, not my normal thing but grateful I did. Was a revelation and was shared round the table it looked so good. My number 1 place just got better and better, friendly informative staff and great variety of food.

Visited Clarks village on one of our twice yearly trips from our home in Plymouth and decided to have lunch at the Cornish Bakery. Both of our pasties were short on filling which was disappointing in itself but the main problem that they weren't hot as we had expected. Both were just about warm and were not pleasant to eat.

I went to this Bakery for Coffee & Cake last summer and again this week. Nice Coffee, but would never purchase their Cakes as they are displayed on a high counter (level to Customer’s heads) with No Covers. On both visits there were several flies around the Cakes. Bude & Looe Bakery’s Cakes were displayed the same (only no flies as different time of year). Flys land on Poo & stamp on food.

As a place of refuge during shopping, this was a very welcome sight. What else can one have but a Traditional Pasty (others in our party had other items). Everything was as it should be, and tasty too. The cafe was very clean.

Visited the Cornish Bakery in west Bay today, wasn't impressed. The traditional Cornish pastie was so dry and was not pleasant to eat. Wasn't impressed with the atmosphere either, the staff were very load and was shouting at each other.

we had pasties a few weeks ago in the lake district from the same bakery.they where just as good here.
