Polperro Bakery & Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We ordered 3 pasties, traditional, cheese bean and bacon and cheese and bacon. They should have been investigated under trades description as the meat in the traditional, beans and bacon were noticeably absent. We’d had pasties a few days earlier from another establishment and these weren’t a patch on those. Have to say the staff were super friendly and the water pistols for the pigeons were a fun touch.

Delightful staff, extremely dog friendly, the lady who served us even gave our two pointers a biscuit each. Delicious pasties and flapjacks, visited twice during our stay.

Great cheese pasty !!!!! And friendly staff . Lovely coffee too . public toilets 50p Not alot open in January Village Car park £6 for 3 hours , very expensive 🫰🏻

I agree 100% with the avoid review below. Pasties have undercooked pastry, hardly a hint of beef and veg so undercooked it was crunchy. AND it was served lukewarm . At £11 per person for a pasty and coffee avoid like the plague. There were other choices that look good in the village and we wish we had chosen one of them. Service was slow too

If you enjoy your pasty filled only with potato and swede, then this place is perfect for you. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for both my partner and me. I ordered a bacon & cheese pasty, and my partner had the steak one. Neither of them had even a hint of these flavors. It was just two lumps of salty pastry with undercooked potatoes. Absolutely dreadful and a waste of £12. Avoid.

Disappointed by Polperro’s lack of toilet facilities (if you don’t carry cash or happen to have a 50p) I stumbled across this bakery as a very distraught mum with a 7 month old baby who desperately needed changing. A very lovely and kind lady let me change him on a table which was a redeeming factor of my visit to Polperro. Thank you very much to the staff here

Loads of potatoes and swede but a little lacking on meat and seasoning. I suppose it didn’t help that we had an excellent, and less expensive, pasty from Chapmans in Perranporth yesterday.

The customer service was really poor, the lad behind the counter was unhelpful and out of his depth. Over charged, items missing- it wasn’t a good experience. When the food arrived it was better than I expected. Warm and fresh, but, it arrived in dribs and drabs so some of the family could eat whilst the others waited. I’m bemused that if you order “quiche” you are presented with an entire quiche- no side salad etc. The menu is basic so I’m shocked the service was so poor. There are a lot of lovely looking cafes and restaurants in the town, I’m disappointed I chose this one. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

We had a lovely cream tea here fruit scones where lovely.All the pasties look ummy good price 😋 also

We sat out the back which was very pleasant and had a lovely cup of tea. We also had a slice of coffee and walnut cake . The sponge was ok, nice walnuts but unfortunately the icing was very, very synthetic tasting which ruined the cake and not what you expect at a bakery.

Have visited many times and always have a pasty. Today we tried Chicken & Leek. Was fabulous. Also bought sausage roll and pork pie plus's scones all for tea later. Can't fault anything. Yes prices are slightly higher than would like to pay, but hey, we were on holiday and this was our treat. Pasties were hot, well seasoned, well filled and very enjoyable.

Found this open place to eat on 28th December one of the few places open in the whole of Polperro. Good choice of pasties and cakes. Decent seating area, friendly atmosphere.

We visited most days for a lovely bacon ciabatta and coffee. Staff were really friendly and helpful too.

We first found this cafe because our little dog loved their little dog. We had a great full English yesterday. All the trimmings. Sat in the pretty garden. Very good service and friendly atmosphere

Pasties were really tasty and the cakes in the bakery looked delish. Kids had a slice of chocolate cake which was lovely. Staff were very friendly and it was good value too. Would definitely recommend

We had 4 piping hot, straight out of the oven traditional steak pasties. (Takeaway) Very tasty. Also, the apple and almond cake not only looked great but tasted amazing ( and I usually don’t go for cakes with fruit!) Good value too.

Why when there are still loads of vistors to your town do you stop serving at 4.00pm on the dot We were met with no we stop at four - no sorry no reason given and as ee walked away we heard another couple ask

Didn't realise the steak pasties were predominantly potato with the smallest amount of steak in.There were 6 tiny pieces of steak in this well sized pasty.Very disappointing

It’s so convenient to be able to pop round and pick up some soft breads. The only downside is that they run out of certain items early. And there are very slim pickings after 3-ish on a weekend. They also open a bit later on a Sunday.

Called here for breakfast, what a great choice. Friendly staff, great service and a satisfying start to our day. Called back later that morning for two traditional Cornish Pasties, another good decision. All food cooked fresh by this family bakery.

Looking at the reviews now, having bought pasties from this bakery today, it seems they haven't listened to the reviews as the quality of the pasties have not changed for years! So if you want a pasty made up of mainly potatoes, a couple of bits of suede and what little meat there is being grey and chewy, then buy! If you want a decent pasty, avoid! We had to throw most of our pasty away, it was inedible. Total waste of money. The cake we had was lovely though, but won't return!

I’ve been going to Cornwall for quite a few years Polperro and now are my favourite is never but if you ever in Polperro popping the pasties are marvellous and the beef and egg pies are supreme to be fair it’s all very good keep going

Friendly staff with a good selection of food and drinks to eat in or take away. Lovely pasties, sandwiches and cakes

Pasties galore! Great choice and good taste. We managed to sit out back on the veranda. Nothing to do with the Bakery, but why does Polperro charge 30p for a pee? And that's on top of £5 for 3 hours parking which you need to enjoy the scenery and amenities in Polperro.

Great pasties and pit stop. Nice little veranda to sit and eat. Would recommend the steak and stilton

A dog friendly cafe & bakery. Lovely friendly staff & great cakes!! We ate in on a rainy day & i can definitely recommend the scones with jam & cream!

I have to disagree with previous reviews about the quality of pasties from this bakery. I had a delicious steak and Stilton pasty today. It was served piping hot. It was full of ingredients including vegetables and meat. I cut through the pastry and the contents filled the casing. Pasties are made by the bakery, not brought in. Very enjoyable.

I've seen a couple of previous reviews which have decried the pasties from these premises. Went in today with my wife and a couple of friends who were down on holiday. I had the Cornish pasty which was delicious. Full of meat, with swede and onion and lovely pastry. No complaints from me at all and I am a Cornishman. I can only surmise that these other visitors are used to the G***sters excuse for a pasty. Others had the beef and stilton and bacon and cheese panini. All were well satisfied with the food and service

The staff are very strict and will not allow you to come near them and they deposit the food on a table for you to then collect when they have left. We had a couple of simple paninis and drinks, all was good with the service.

Avoid the Cornish pasty it’s the worst you’ll ever have, mainly potato and swede with hardly any seasoning and raw grisly meat hence stone cold in the middle which made my partner ill for the rest of the day. Cutlery was not cleaned properly and all of the costumers were complaining whilst we were there about their orders ☹️

Unquestionably the worst pasty I have ever eaten. The content was mainly potato, no swede and the smallest amount of meat imaginable; add the fact that there was no seasoning and you have the full picture. I would even suggest that to call it a pasty was stretching credibility to the limit.

We walked to Polperro from Looe with the reward of a pasty and scone on arrival. Sadly I think we picked the worst place in Polperro. The pasty was dry, very little chewy meat and mainly full of potatoes. The scone was even worse. We were gutted. Don’t bother

We ordered three bacon panini’s. I can’t even be bothered to explain how utterly rank they were. Maybe other things are better...... but the bacon sarnies are gross. Advice. Poop or get off the pot. A soggy fatty insipid bit of bacon, sticking a mini french stick into a panini maker does NOT a panini make. Top half crunchy bottom half as soggy as your lack lustre can’t do attitude. Glad I spent my £20 with you

Lovely fresh bread, great hot very yummy pasties. Very warm and welcoming. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best places to eat in Polperro we go once a year and all head for this bakery as the food is very tasty ...

Called in on New Years Day morning for a coffee - was so pleased this place was open! One thing we find in lots of the cafes we stop off at is that Lattes are served Luke warm. This cafe got immediate thumbs up that coffee was piping hot - although local to area this was first time we'd cycled into Polperro, will definitely be back and this will be our coffee stop - fingers crossed they serve coffee early on lighter mornings when we get there and leave again before the traffic gets busy!As for service - this was great - happy and friendly staff (eg an immediate offer to refill water bottle).Parking for bikes is easy around the back and there is a toilet to.

Always visit this bakery when I’m in Polperro. Lovely croissants and breads in the morning and pasties for lunch. Recently took home 16 mince pies for a family party and I could’ve bought double as everyone loved them and even went as far as saying “the best mince pies ever”!! See you again at Easter

Struggled to find the meat in the pasty, way to much veg. The parking cost for a few hours made me think I was buying the car park.

We bought some lovely pasties and cake from Polperro Bakery. It was just what we needed after a long journey from Epsom.The food is delicious and I would thoroughly recommend the bakery.As well they sell fresh sandwiches. They are very well situated right in the heart of Polperro.

Lovely cream tea's to take away, vanilla slice was to die for, all fresh and served with a smile, highly recommend.

A lovely place for a special cream tea, also great range of takeaway cakes, pastas and bread. Nice pato area

Whilst in Polperro, we popped in for some bread and pork pies, I asked the lady if we could leave them there whilst we went round the village. On the way back we popped in for a cuppa. All the staff were very friendly

Stopped at the bakery to get out of the rain and ordered a cornish pasty - first time having one in Cornwall. It was quite tasty and delicious. There was other tasty treats at the bakery but as I was in Cornwall - needed to taste one of the originallocal delights - was not disappointed.

This is a nice place Polperro Bakery and Cafe. Right in the heart of Polperro is this wonderful bakery that make fresh Pasties. You can sit out the back if you can find a space. You just cant beat local food.

Bought some bread and a couple of steak and kidney pies while on holiday in the village. Bread lovely and pies delicious, packed with meat and very reasonably priced. Will be back next time we are in the village.

Nice welcoming bakery and the cream teas are good. Lovely assortment of cakes scones and breads. The coffee is exceptionally nice.

A great traditional bakery. Bough a couple of pasties en we visited which were huge and great value. We got there early and they'd just come out of the oven. The minted lamb was particularly good. A lovely little sun trap terrace at the back of the bakery is worth checking out...

We needed a quick light bite to each for lunch.The smell of the bakery tempted us to eat here .We sat outside and it was pleasant overlooking a little village square with seating.Unfortunately dogs had been allowed to foul here.

Attracted in by the sign saying patio seating at the rear. Pleasantly surprised. The outside area looks out on a lovely village square type area, with quaint old buildings and a pub. The coffee was good. You have to order at the counter inside and are given a table number. The service was friendly and efficient and everywhere looked clean. Only had coffee, but the cakes looked delicious.

Popped in here to get out of the rain, we only ordered tea. the crockery and spoons we were given were absolutely disgusting. I'm pretty sure they had not been washed. Wont come here again.

We visited here a couple of time and had a scone and a pasty very fresh and tasty you could also sit in or out side the staff very friendly

Simply brilliant. That cherry cheescake could not taste better than it looked, but it did. Scone nicely warm and just soft. All eaten very quickly.

A lovely bakery with a good choice of savoury and sweet food. The coffee is very good too. Visited several times, and consistently good.

Stopped here as we were struggling to find something somewhere to have a late breakfast. Ended up having pasties, sausage rolls and cakes.

Family of 5, not enough pasties for us all to have and the pasties were nearly all potato with very little seasoning. Considering they were advertised as steak pasties I hardly saw any steak, just lots of bland potato.

prices on display are "FOR TAKE AWAY". I ordered 2 pasties, a latte and a coke. £15.25. when i queried this i was told bluntly eating in prices are on the menus on the tables. NICE! I said it still seemed a lot. when i got to our table I found that not only had VAT been added to the prices but extra as well. standard pastie (£3.20 take away £4.40 eat in!) when checked my bill against the menu prices I found I had been charged £3.60 for a coke! (there was not prices for soft drinks on the menu. I queried this with a different member of the team and she said that not right. I was refunded the £1.85 I had been wrongly charged but when this was pointed out to the lady who served me .. no apology! as for the food.. my steak and stilton was OK apart from little or no stilton r food .. the other pastie was OK.. WILL NOT RETURN

Excellent pasty choice and pleasant seating area. Coffee good too served by pleasant young staff. Will visit again.

Great little bakery with cafe attached. Good service and top notch pasties. Also good cakes! We sat in and had some pasties. They offered table service once we had ordered at the counter.

Fresh and lovely cream tea and latte on my first visit followed by cream slice and Americano on my second visit. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Seating outside with umbrellas.

Great time he'd by all including the dog who had her own sausage roll 😁 service great and the food was excellent. Cheers and see you next year.

Stopped here for tea cake and hot chocolate and it was very nice. Staff weren’t overly friendly and no disabled toilet so made the visit difficult. Took pasties and sausage rolls home for tea and these were very good.

Large pasty’s are exactly that. HUGE. Scones are beautiful too! Nice patio seating outside the back which is lovely on a sunny day. Friendly staff.

If you visit Polperro & like Pasties, you have to try this bakery. The Pasties & Bread are gorgeous & home made.

I just had to leave a 5* review because it was the nicest cheesecake I've ever had the pleasure to eat!

We only wanted a drink each but it took in excess of twenty five minutes, and staff having to be reminded twice, for the drinks to appear on our table. Granted, the place was busy but such a long wait for drinks alone is a bit ridiculous. My friend had paid when she’d ordered so we’d got no option but to wait. We sat outside on the patio area where, thankfully, the sun was quite warm. There’s one toilet which is no great shakes but, still, it’s better than nothing. The coffee was pretty decent but service was so poor that I wouldn’t return.

Escaped into here to get out of the rain and glad we did, food was very tasty and they had a covered outdoor seating area (beware of the seagulls). Just a watch out, the prices listed are takeout prices, it all costs considerably more if you are eating in.

Right from the front door the smell of baked goods greets you. Comfortable seating, dog friendly, free wifi. Sweet and savoury treats are delicious and well priced.

There are loads of places to eat in this area. We chose here because it had minted lamb pastys. It cost £31 for 5 pastys with drinks. I feel it is slightly expensive but the food was so tasty.

Family of 4, saw the pasties and went in. lovely seating area at the back. Nice and simple and not overpriced. Large pasty 4.95 and medium 4.50, they were big so do think they are worth that.

Had a very tasty pasty here for lunch, staff were friendly and helpful and we couldn't fault it. And the pasty was delicious.

It was the only place that we thought would be quick bite to eat and a coffee.

Warm welcome, wonderful Pasties and cakes. Bread pudding very good. They will even mail a box of pasties home for you!!

Nice bread and nice pasties!!!! Its a bonus on holiday if you find a good bakery and this one is lovely. Im going to miss the bread! Until we return to the area in the next few years.

Been visiting for fifteen years, lovely choice and great value! Thank you for the good opening hours and choice.

Called in sat lunchtime for a quick takeaway snack. Service wasn't brilliant but the takeaway cakes , Carrot cake, cream bun and mince pies were very reasonably priced and very tasty.

It was very busy but we were dealt with very efficiently and did not have long to wait for our order. We had the cream teas which were excellent and enjoyable

Good food but all prices on display are take away prices. No eating in prices which are very expensive

Just had cream tea for 3 people, the scones were lovely and the staff very attentive even though they were ran off there feet! Looked lovely and clean from outside, wish we had tried their pasty’s.

Our lovely trip to Poloerro was dampened by our visit to this tea room. Trying to order an afternoon tea and pastie turned in to an inquisition! The lady who served us clearly didn’t listen to what I was saying and tried to confuse and complicate things! She clearly found it highly funny as she asked the next customers “are you able to understand instructions!” This I found totally unprofessional and embarrassing, maybe a refresher cause in customer services or basic politeness is required!

I visited with my family so we could have a traditional cream tea while we were down there!

Great place for coffee and cream teas. Table service is available after your order has been placed at the counter.

Our favourite pasties and amazing pork pies- and believe me we tried many! Great cakes too and a nice little outside seating area at the back if you want it.

As soon as you entered the bakery, the waft of freshly baked bread, cakes & pasties hit you. The staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful, and the food was great value for money.

Whilst staying in Polperro we decided to pick up a couple of pastys for our tea. We were limited in choice as my research suggested another retailer in Polperro would provide a better experience but unfortunately was closed.

Beside the funny title of dogs I mean ACTUAL DOGS! Furry animals in the Caffè right next to us as we eat which put us off of our food. The pasties were ok but nothing to shout about I was served a spilt coffee by the waitress and you could here the very loud staff chatting the whole time....not somewhere I would want to go back to really.

Tried this pace when we first arrived and all three of us were disappointed in the lack of tastiness in the pasties. Perhaps worth noting that other pasty shops sold off their pasties for £1.50 late in the afternoon whilst this place did not do this.

As title says, pasties were microwaved and came soggy, surprising when it’s a bakery. Steak and Stilton but couldn’t see any Stilton and was more Stilton flavoured. Two pasties and two bottled drinks almost £12! Waitress was nicely friendly however.

The pork pies in this place, take some beating. They are the best. They also have a large collection of home cooked pasties too that also get some credit. Their cream teas are great and the staff are very courteous. It's very well situated in the village and looks to be a hub for people wishing to get some well baked produce.

Beautiful little town, fantastic architecture and tiny roads. Make sure that you that you park in the parking lot, the roads in the centre of town are narrow and difficult to navigate in a car bigger than a Smart Fortwo.

Beautiful little Cotnish village next to the sea. The lityle gift shops are cute and the locals are so polite. The scenery is absolutely incredible and the gift shop is stocked full of local things. I loved it here and vrry higjly recommended.

Dropped in after a day trip to Polperro and the service was fab, spoke to our children about pirates and unicorns so naturally. Pointed out the WiFi code without any prompts. On top of that the selection of food and drink was fantastic. Worth a visit for definite.

As we stayed in Polperro we went here many times for the bread and Pasties. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pasties are awesome and cake selection are good. The selection of pasties is great hot and cold and very big. As are the sausage rolls and cakes all large, so if you want a real cornish pasty I would strongly recommend here.

Pasty und Pie konnten mit den umliegenden Bäckereien nicht mithalten. Preis Leistung Ok. Ein Plus ist der Gastgarten und der nette Service.

We stopped of for a coffee and cake here while on a day trip to Polperro..we chose the chocolate and the cherry cheesecake! Wow they were huge slices! We could easily have shared a slice..coffee was good too. Definitely great value and delicious!

Wonderful bakery with cheesecake thats to die for. ( Look to the bottom shelf ) we are here for 2 weeks and order teacakes most days that are lovely. Prices are great.

Ate a few Cornish from this place. Nice but glad I’ve stopped now! Seemed very popular with locals and visitors alike.

We decided to have a cream tea whilst on a day out to Polperro and because we had the two small dogs we sat outside the back on the patio which is partly covered if it's raining but we sat in the sun. You order at the till and they bring out to you. The lady on the till was very friendly and when i asked if we could upgrade the free tea for a latte she said no problem at all. The waitress made sure the table was clean before we sat down and also showed us the wi fi password on the back of the menu which was a nice touch and she was very friendly and accommodating. The cream tea and Cornish coffee were lovely and would match any costa coffee. All in all a nice place. We purchased some fresh bread and pasties to take back to the lodge which were freshly made that day. Theres a lovely choice of huge cakes but we decided to be good. Only downside only one small toilet out on patio so quite a queue formed at one stage but they are very old buildings so to be expected xx

We visited the bakery frequently while in Polperro. A couple of times we ate and had coffee in there, other times we taken away. It's quite expensive, probably due to portion sizes but good quality and lovely food. A portion is definitely big enough to share. The only negative is that it's noisy sitting in however there is outside seating which is more peaceful.

We bought some fabulous bread for our sandwiches and the staff were friendly and helpful. We returned the next day and although they’d sold out of our favourite they offered us a delicious alternative.

Extremely rude and blunt staff. As we ordered our drinks and waited for them to be made there was very little communication. Whilst we waited a member of staff rudely said 'right excuse me.' My elderly mother moved aside to which she then said 'no im going that way.' No please or thank you. The de-caf tea is quite expensive and the teabags were very weak. We sat outside the cafe to drink the tea and watched as the owner sprayed a seagull with a water gun because it was on a table. We will not be returning. We have been coming to polperro for years, however, this has put a very down perspective on polperro overall. We will be passing this information on to our friends and family so they can avoid the same experience.
