Best bacon butty I've had in a long, long time. Chap on the next table looked to be enjoying a fab breakfast. Clearly a favourite place for locals.

Bought 2 pasties to take down the beach on our walk today, wish I’d brought water as omg there was far too much salt and even more white pepper in them.Reading the reviews this seems to be common, shame cause it was a waste of money buying them, I ate half of mine and son didn’t even that much.

Usually very good pasties. On 24th October 2024 my Large Cornish Pasty had far too much white pepper in. Have a word with the cook please. Spoiled it.

One of the best pasty shops in the area. One thing to point out is that only very few large pasties are cooked each day so you need to order ahead if you want larger than standard. Cafe has had a slight update too.

Great pastry, great filling with a good peppery taste, my favourite pasty so far (and I’ve eaten a few pasties 😁) Parking can be a little tricky but the effort is well worthwhile!

Recently left a very good review of Pips with a slight criticism of the seasoning (salt) in the steak pasties. I have visited twice since and seasoning seems to be a problem. I bought 4 large steak pasties at a cost of £21.60. All four of us were overwhelmed with the amount of white pepper contained within and couldn't finish them.We had to buy another lunch. The pastry and filling is always excellent,but what should be the easy bit is very poor. Living locally we will give Pips ONE more go as we do badly want to support this otherwise excellent establishment. Please, please, please,less salt and PEPPER!

I had a steak pasty and can honestly say it was delicious. It was the best pasty I’ve ever eaten. Not to be missed! I was so impressed I phoned and told them.

Purchased 2 Steak Pasties. Unfortunately had upset stomach in the evening and all the night. Not good. Very disappointed with the pasties and quality they are usually good but not on this occasion. Had to take day off work due to upset stomach.

Usually the pasties are very good but today the cheese and veg pasty was very dry and tastless. Very disappointed in the quality and not value for money I'm afraid. Quality needs attention and customer should not receive dried out pasties!

Had walked past this place the other evening, and decided we’d try it for breakfast before we played golf yesterday What a fabulous breakfast, and what lovely staff Sitting near their refrigerator / chiller; they had a fabulous selection of sandwiches, baguettes and quiches too, let alone the pasties and sausage rolls at the counter, I may just need to call back and stock up for the trip back to Kent on Friday !!!)

We stayed in Penryn for a couple of weeks and after talking to a couple of locals in the Seven Stars, we went to Pips Cafe to try one of their Pasties...It was amazing!!! We were served by a very friendly Sharon, who even took some photos for me in the kitchen, showing the pasties being made....My mouth is watering now thinking back to that day...YUM!!!

These are my favourite Pasties from the girls over in Penryn. I don't no how they do it, the tayties are almost the consistency of mash blending everything nicely together all wrapped up in a buttery flakey pastry seasoned to perfection. It's my main gripe when the veg is thick square edged and separated this to me indicates its under cooked for construction of the pasty there's a lot to say for a standard size as to a large which can cause a whole lot of problems in cooking times ect.

What was once the best place to get pasties has sadly let themselves slip. Staff appear often far too busy. The pasties themselves are often lacking flavour. Hopefully this place doesn’t slide any further...

Pips pasties are the best on the southwest , these do various flavoured pasties they are full of flavour lots of lovely juice in the pasties . They also do many other takeaway foods and you can also eat your lunch in with a hot or cold beverage. The staff are so warm , friendly and welcoming. I would without hesitation recommend them to anyone. Very reasonably priced and worth every penny. A family run business whom ate V local themselves. If ever your in Penryn or just passing through drop in and see for yourselves . It's worth it I promise.

I visit this cafe alot over the years and I've always felt welcomed by the friendly staff and there food is well worth the money the baguettes and sandwiches are filled to the top the breakfast is a full plate with two of everything plus a free tea or coffee bargain! You can sit in and relax with your food or take it away! I would highly recommend everyone to go and try it!Also they cater for all and is a very clean establishment and family friendly which it's hard to find places like that these days!

We came across Pips by chance and we were not disappointed with our choices. My vegetable and cheese pasty was simply delicious and it was served with a salad as requested. My partner had the breakfast sandwich and equally enjoyed it and both were excellent value. The service was friendly and we would recommend highly

Popped in a while back to grab a sausage and cheese baguette. The sausage was freshly cooked cheese was melted with fried onions just how I like it.Went back today to order same, cold sausage from the fridge, big chunks of raw onion and a load of cheap grated cheese. Tbh the lady on till was quite abrupt and I didn’t even want to complain. It’s a small gripe I know but a least ask the customer how you would like it. The portions are good and the bread fresh but have been put off going back now.Just finished eating the roll and feel slightly petty writing this but it needs to be said.

Sadly one of my favourite pasty shops, that I buy from every week has gone down hill badly.Why oh why are you putting huge chunks of inedible ONION in the pastys now ? !! They are so big and thick they RUIN what once was a beautiful meal. Please prepare them with more care and CUT those horrible ONION chunks. Would I recommend.. well no not as they are now !!

Hay muchos proveedores de Pasty en West Cornwall y puedo decir honestamente que he visitado la mayoría de ellos. Pips es en mi opinión el mejor Pasty dentro de 8 millas de Penryn. Fuera de este radio, hay una pareja que calificaría igualmente. Incluso hacen entrega a domicilio! El café Pips está en la calle principal de Penryn y, en ocasiones, el único problema es encontrar un lugar para estacionar.

Visit this small friendly little cafe on the terrace at Penryn,buy their pasties which are without doubt the most tasty of any in the County...and we have tried many for sure. But sadly must warn you that unless you are a fan of Tinned Tomatoes & Mushrooms in a sea of Baked Beans accompanied by tasteless Eggs,Sausage & Hash Browns this and my wife's Veggie BF,were truly awful. Had we both not had such an early start and were Very Hungry, we would have left more than the 40% we did. So go for the Pasties (See menu in pics below) which are really good.

Well I’ve used this little cafe loads for the pasties and sandwiches but have only just started sitting down to eat. The full English is what it says and fills the plate and was all cooked fresh and beautiful. Comes with a free coffee or tea. Best all day breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend and will be back plenty more. The prices are good for the amount of food you get. I’ve also had a jacket potato with beans and salad which again filled the large plate.

The pastry is the selling point on these pasties in my eyes, although the filling is just as good. Hot or cold they are always cooked to perfection. The only bad bit is the heartburn afterwards

Forget the other local bakers in Penryn, this place is well worthy of your visit.Their pasties are out of this world, and as for the baguettes & cakes they sell ... you won't be sorry you called by. I hate going to places where you spend your money, then come away feeling hungry. Visit Pips and you'll come away feeling stuffed.There is also seating for a few people, so you don't need to hurry your meal, and there is a free car park (Penmarin) literally right opposite.

The Devonport is know for its amazing food (and beautiful backdrop), and goodness it did not disappoint. We were there for Mother’s Day, there was 6 of us. I had the mussels with gorgeous thick cut chips. My brother and mum had the Skate special, which was a huge portion of fish with caper butter and chips. It was outstanding! My step mum had the Haddock and chips and she said it was the best ‘fish and chips - fish’ she’s ever had! She is not easily pleased. My husband had the paella and he was so impressed, the fish was so fresh and juicy. Fish is their show stopper, so I’d always try and order some kind of fish/seafood. But overall, amazing food and fantastic hospitality. Social shout-out to the Manager who was very knowledgable of the wine and port that The Devonport had available. Will be coming back more and more - I feel very lucky to live locally. Thanks guys!

I have to admit that I am not the person that comments on anything and everything, nor do I ever right a review of my experience. If I am unsatisfied with the experience, I just won't return again. But ... I have been seeing the Development of this establishment for that past 20 years and treated myself quite often to a night or two in any of the corner or best suites ( highly recommend those ) and enjoyed the ambiance and service this hotel had to offer. Our experience: Arrival to the hotel : We planned to have drinks prior to our meal. Found the bar area as busy as usual. With no free seats in sight, I ask the Brasserie manager if we could order drinks in the main lounge, whereas we been told that there normally is service but he has no clue what they doing today. Not answer I was hoping for. The entrance to the main lounge also been blocked off for some reason. Luckily the wait at bar was sufficient enough to pass the time for a table to become vacant. In previous visits, a relaxed table service was offered but not this time for some reason . Guess it’s an informal 5 star service.. , had to ask for bar menus as neither been on the bar or tables to see what’s on offer. ( also no usual complimentary nuts that used to be offered ) Restaurant We arrived early to our Booking at the samphire and were delighted to be able to be seated, unfortunately without any menus. It took about 10-15 min of us staring holes into the warm air, when I lost my patients and had to get up from the table to ask for menus at the entrance of the Restaurant. Yet again it took quite a while for us to order drinks and food as it seemed to be a chaotic service with everyone doing everything and no restaurant Manager nor head waiter in sight ( please note.. all evening ) . The lack of attention to detail was incredible .. table settings with knives to left and forks to right on every table .. just wow - giggle Food and drinks order done. ( ordered a glass of white wine with my mains, which never arrived ).. Drinks arrived what seamed ages. Overheard table next to us complaining about the slow service too, which been given a small apology but no solution to increase the speed of service ( yet again a lack of management ) Noticed the young waiter being unfamiliar on how to correctly present a bottle of wine and opening it, which I thought should be a training standard for a 5 star establishment. not only did he seem untrained, he also dried his hands in a used napkin left on the table next to him where diners just left. The pork belly starter , was below luke warm which was shame as its been rather tasty. I guess if a portion of this size is sitting on a kitchen pass for mere 3 min, it naturally will loose its core temperature, suggestion.. Next time use a cloche! I wanted to point this out to the service but yet again no manager or headwaiter to be seen and the waiters seem too busy to be bothered. Once they did ask if everything is alright, but by that time we finished what we had on the plate ( which is not a lot if you are hungry ) Unfortunately the main course of the hen and the monk fish not been any better and yet again being luke warm. Dessert of the frangipane tart and pineapple been ok, but yet again no attention to detail, as the dessert been bought out without cutlery being replenished prior. Ordered coffee to be served in the lounge, which arrived with no sugar or spoon and had to be asked for separately. When I paid my bill, I mentioned that the wine I ordered with my main course never arrived. No apology was offered.. A "informal fine Dining " experience. 95% informal - 5 % fine Dining. :-( Over the past 20 years I always chose the Headland hotel for its perfection, attention to detail and impeccable service, this time it's not delivered to its promise which is a shame cause that's what I will remember.. Coming from a 4 to a 5 star .. I expected more ( go back to 4 stars !!! You been better then
