St Mawes Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

First class in every way. Lovely customer service, absolutely delicious bread rolls, yummy breakfast filling and delicious coffee. Perfect. Going back tomorrow!

Best pasties and rolls in St Mawes,. When the sun is out nowhere better in St Mawes. The staff are lovely. Jane the owneris makes you welcome. I like seeing the pasties and bread brought on a large tray from the actial bakery round the corner. You can wait for the ferry to take you to Falmouth have a coffee or tea a bit of excellent food and then embark. A must go to location if in St Mawes

Visited twice recently. Once for cinnamon buns , second time pasties. Thought pasties were good - lots of flavoursome filling. Good value. Cinnamon buns were ok - a bit doughy for my taste but good size / value.

Delicious pasty , large, full of tender meat. Pastry perfect. Would definitely recommend. I love a pasty when visiting Cornwall and this best ever. Definitely recommend

I've eaten a lot of pasties in my time from all across the country. I've chomped on cheese and onion in Chingford, I've bitten into beef in Beamish, and I've polished off pastries in Paignton. I've also had a fair few genuine, traditional Cornish pasties, but the steak pasties I had here today was a clear winner. The crispy pastry was cooked to perfection, with no soggy bottom. There were big lumps of dark, tender steak that actually tasted of beef. It was packed out with tasty vegetables, that weren't dry, nor were they overly wet, causing that leakage issue you sometimes get in inferior pasties. For a quick snack, this became a highlight of my life.

We had stopped to ask if there was a butchers in the town, we was told no but you can order meat from here. On the Wednesday morning we went in and asked if we could order 6 beef burgers , and some chicken, the chap took the order and said delivery is about 4, we close at 4.30, I went back at 3 on the off chance it maybe delivered, was told no come back at 4, or you could come first thing in morning, i said we want them for today, he said “ they will definitely be in.” I sent my son at 4, the chap said “come back at 4.30. My son went back 4.29 he said “ we are closed,” we have come for the meat ordered, He said come back at 4.30 i don’t know where it is….another lady also had come to pick up some meat, and was also disappointent, so i wouldn’t order any meat from here, get what is in the fridge or go to the butchers.

Award winning Pasties were advertised. The only reason we came. They were the worst we had all week. Wrong kind of Pastry. No pepper. Mushy centre....very little meat. Will not be back.

Wow! Hands down, the best pasties we have ever had in Cornwall. Warm, tasty, crispy and full of tender meat. The coffee was also fab. But the best thing is the staff, the staff are so friendly. The owner gave us two free tea cakes for being kind and giving up our seats for an elderly couple, totally unexpected but so awesome. What a fantastic, family bakery. We will visit every time we are in St Mawes! Thank you for just being the most awesome bakery!

Family run business still the same as it has been for years , simple Cornish baking. Highly recommend fresh bread, pasties and sausage rolls. Thanks too all the lovely local staff for the chats and giggles

Absolutely brilliant pasties and the massive doughnuts are fantastic! This must be the best bakery in the UK and must’ve tried if you’re in St Mawes!

We have been staying in st mawes for a few days. Not quite sure what happened today . Pastry tough, not traditional filling. And jam doughnuts that looked overcooked but trusted experts however with a cup of tea later were overcooked and greasy. The plain scone was nice. Is it because it's the end of season.

The food is tasty here, the pasties are great and the round doughnuts lovely. I will be back to sample the other treats, Can’t fault it, probably ate too much!

Best Cornish pasty ever! Oh my what a delight! I’ve tried many a pie and pasty but this is up there with the very best that I have ever had! Freshly baked and the pastry was just the tastiest along with plenty of filling! Loved, loved, loved it!

Quite possibly the best pasty I have ever had. Lived in Cornwall for 50 years and tried them all. The only thing that could improve it in any way would be a greater generosity with the pepper. Pastry was flaky and tasted great. Filling generous, tasty and baked to perfection. If you try nothing else when in St Mawes, try one of these.

Great croissants and friendly staff - highly recommend. Watch out for the lady adding an extra £2.50 for an imaginary loaf to your bill. It happened to us twice and to a friend as well - sneaky tourist tax or a glitch with the till? Hopefully just the latter!

We came to St Mawes quite late in the day, and spotted this little gem, Jane was so friendly and welcoming, we enjoyed Tea and cake, also purchasing pasties, bread and baps.....this is an absolute little delight, traditional, independent and so delicious...definitely will be on our yearly visit list 😊

Tasty and filling Cornish pasty served warm, friendly staff in convenient location. Would use again when wr are back in St Mawes

Visited on St Mawes Town Regatta Day when there were lots of customers. I had to wait for the second batch of pasties to be cooked but they were delicious! I can also recommend their Egg and Bacon Baps.

Sat outside for a quick lunch and had a really nice 'Cheese + Onion Pasty' and an 'Egg + Bacon Slice'. Friendly service and decently priced too. Would certainly recommend to others.

Small cafe bakery ,family owned. Very friendly staff. Great products, can recommend the cheese pasties, sausage rolls and jam doughnuts. Good prices too and they will accept cash payments.

We took a ferry to St Mawes from Falmouth to do a round trail. We were really stressed for time as had a ferry to catch. However quick Googling recommended St Mawes bakery. It is very unassuming from the outside. Lovely lady assured us that there were still few steak pasties left, only 20 minutes from the oven. We bought one each. Oh my God! It was unbelievably good! Fluffy and crunchy pastry with lots of meaty filling. I can’t say I’ve had anything like that before despite eating pasties in many recommended places. Really regretted when consumed last piece!

I’d like to support a local enterprise, but these are not either the best pasties or the best scones in St Mawes. The pasties suffer from poor ingredients, which probably makes them more authentic (the pasties the tin miners ate originally were unlikely to have contained prime beef), but not as good as others you can get in St Mawes. Try Mr Scorse at the deli. He’ll heat them up for you. For scones, pay a bit more and get them at Da Barra.

Provides an eat in and take away service - the pastries we took out where first class. Not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for

Ideal for a Bacon roll or Pastry. Situated on the port right next door to the St Mawes Fish stall which fills the Bakerys roles with Crab for £7

I'd read a review somewhere about these, and by chance we happened to be at the quay at St Mawes at the time we were thinking about lunch. They had little stock left, but they did have their traditional pasties, which is what we would...

Coffee was bitter, foul tasting and undrinkable. Such a shame as it’s in a great location right on St Mawes Harbour. Very disappointing. We’ll go elsewhere on our next visit.

Was the most amazing pasties I've had . The staff was very friendly . Would recommend it. It's a lovely place to visit

Absolutely outstanding pasties from this gorgeous family-run business based on St Mawes pier. We returned today having enjoyed our first pasty there some 20 years ago! As delicious now as then.

Right in the heart of St Mawes on the harbour wall is this wonderful family bakery which has been around there for quite a few years, its charm is not only in its unique breads, pasties, scones, babs, croissants, tea, coffee, soft drinks etc, just...

I had a Cornish pasty and I have to say it was probably the best one I’ve ever had. Sometimes pasties can be overly peppery but this was perfectly seasoned with a good amount of meat. Ridiculously filling as well.

No rolls left at 11 am. Told they sell out after an hour after opening. Maybe make a few more? A few poor loaves left. Belgian bun type pastries were probably the driest ever .

Lovely pasties full of meat and vegetables right into the crust. We had them at a wedding at Place Estate they were so good I have ordered 10 frozen to be sent to me!

Poor service was told pasty would be 15 minutes wait decided to wait as good reviews actual time waited for one pasty one whole hour without a sorry you had to wait nice pasty but not worth an hour waiting time

I have made many trips for the family for a pasty pick up lunch, they always smell amazing and have such great crimping can never resist. The saffron buns are hard not to grab too as they are so juicy. Great place to grab a...

Absolutely beautifully tasty steak pasties from the bakery. Really highly recommended. Very fresh. Friendly staff serving. Really enjoyed. Another one today! (Calories on half rating while on holiday!!!!!!)

We had some pasties from here and they were lovely, great pastry and lots of filling. Very tasty. We also have a selection of their cakes where where very homely and lovely. We will definitely visit again if in the area.

Just eaten the pasty I bought this morning, after a long journey home this was a perfect reminder of a few days away. Proper, very tasty pasties, I will be back !

Lovely hot pasties, bread and cakes. Get there early as they run out quick. Was very covid clean and safe.

Scones were amazingly yummy. Fantastic size and very fresh. Recommend and will be back! Very fairly priced as well.

Really great pasty and great service. Loaf and scone went down well. Not the first visit and will go again.

We bought some pasties to take home; what a disappointment! the filling consisted of dry potato and cooked meat pieces - not even mixed together. No onion; no swede or carrot - essential ingredients. Not a good flavour overall, and very dry.The doughnuts and muffins were fine, nothing special.

A visit to St Mawes must include a pasty from this great little cafe, nothing better after a decent walk, a must

After 60 years of eating the St. Mawes Bakery pasties I declare they are the best in Cornwall - the original, with proper chunks of steak and delicious pastry. Any trip to St. Mawes is incomplete without..

Located on the harbour, next to the short stay parking. There was a bit of a queue, but worth the wait.We had a steak and cheese pasty. They were delicious!! £7.80 for the two pasty’s, but they were yummy, large, piping hot and more than enough food for a lunch. As they now serve at the door, bit more difficult to see what is on offer and prices. They make and bake the pasties at their nearby bakery and transport them to here. If you enjoy a pasty, would recommend.

Friendly service, great artisan bread, best pasties I have ever had. My favourite place for lunch in St Mawes. Consistently excellent service and food.

We popped by the St Mawes bakery more by luck than judgement but struck lucky - great pasties which were fresh out of the oven (literally !) and a cuppa. Nice to sit on the benches outside and watch the comings and goings of the harbour.

During lockdown, whilst we were marooned elsewhere, we kept thinking about Patrick’s wonderful granary bread and pasties.When we were finally able to travel we headed to the bakery. What a treat! The bread was just as wonderful as we remembered and the vegan pasties were freshly baked and delicious, as were the steak pasties. A real, traditional family business selling bread, cakes and pastries to eat on their terrace or take away. 10/10

Amazing freshly cooked cakes, pasties, freshly filled rolls. All cooked locally great friendly staff

We got soaked on our walk to the Castle and decided to stop at the cafe for a hot chocolate. We got talking to the owner and spent a very pleasant half hour. The bread and pastries looked delicious.

Wonderful pasties and a good cup of tea. Well worth a visit to this little bakery, with a great view of the harbour. :)

Well wasn’t really impressed.£ 7.50 for two pasties (steak) not much meat in them so thought they were overpriced. Didn’t try anything else so can’t comment.

A very friendly snack eating establishment, the sausage rolls are huge, a good range of other snacks. Great service with a smile

Starving on a cold wet day,just the job a hot crusty pasty it was delicious,not as peppery as I'm used to and had more gravy,also took some home baked bread which was lovely.

My husband has never been a pasty 'fan' until the owner walk passed us carrying a fresh baked tray of traditional Cornish Pasty's.. The delicious aroma got to us, we weakened and thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu purchase. The pastry was crumbly, cooked to perfection, the beef good quality - no gristle, and best of all the filling was made up of lots of potato, onion, a little swede & well seasoned. The centre was definitely NOT stuffed with an overload of cheap, tasteless root veg.Was so good we returned 3 times.

A trip to St Mawes is never complete without a trip to the bakery. Near disaster one year when we couldn’t get doughnuts due to a fire!! Anyway this year the pasties were excellent as usual as was the bread and rolls. But it’s the doughnuts we always treat ourselves to. Nowhere else ever comes close to being as good!

Every year when on holiday we kayak from Porthscatho to the Bakery for a pasty and sit on the quay to admire the views whilst eating it. These are without doubt the best pasties in St Mawes.

If you’re going to go anywhere to get a pastie - go here! Best Cornish pasty I’ve ever had. Flaky delicious pastry. I want another!

Spent a day in St Mawes with our family 4 adults and 3 children under 3 we tried their pasties and sausage rolls they came fresh out of the oven great timing, we have eaten many pasties in our time I have to say these are the best pasties we have ever eaten.The pastry was perfect we even ate the crimp not something we normally do, the chunks of beef were tender and generous (min specification 12%) the potato onion and sweed seasoned perfectly our grandchildren demolished their sausage rolls so I took that as a vote of confidence, so if you want to eat the best Cornish pasties in Cornwall visit St Mawes.

We only looked in on the first day that we arrived, because we parked our car there. On the Sunday when we went for bread and Pasties to take home it was closed sadly. Everyone told us that it was one of the best places, so next time we will make sure we go there first.

Delicious pastry and full of well cooked meat. Peppery and tasty, these pasties literally walk out of the small bakery on the quay at St. Mawes at an astounding rate.

We ordered our food inside the cafe but chose to eat outside as it was a lovely day.

These are by far the best pasties in Cornwall, and also the best quiche , full of ingredients and flavour

Our recent experience wasn't a great one. Fresh uncovered pasties handled by staff with bare hands that have also been handling money that has come out of customers pockets, cross contaminating directly onto the pastry.

You can always tell how good somewhere is by the ques at the door and it's always busy we have had all they bread in the last 2 weeks and all are wonderful

Friendly greeting and good coffee and cake. Also have charging units for your phone! spotlessly clean and lots of space.

The pasty, the service, the view. Gorgeous. Lovely staff, friendly and attentive. Pasty’s are to die for. Yum.

Pasties vary tremendously in Cornwall. At the St Mawes Bakery they were truly first class and the best I have eaten for a long time. Great views and good cofffee too

Situated right on the harbour with stunning views, we had cake and a coffee here on the most gorgeous day (20th May).

Went over to St Mawes on the ferry from Falmouth on a beautiful warm sunny day. Had breakfast sitting outside the St Mawes Bakery. Delicious sausage, egg and bacon sandwich with a good cup of coffee. Perfect!

Great quality and also a very good price.

Lovely little bakery, good selection, even takes card. Was probably the best cheese pasty I’ve ever had!

All the bread, really excellent. Pasties exceptional all the year round. Friendly service, what more could you want?

Lovely view,absolutely delicious pasties,a nice place to have a snack in St.Mawed.The lady serving us was so funny she made our day.

Took a day trip with my sister to st makes today , and came across this little bakery by chance , and I’m so glad we did , one of the best pasties I’ve had in a very long time , my only regret is that it’s so far away to go back on a regular basis , but will definitely be going back for another if I’m that way again

Very friendly welcome but the pasty was extremely greasy and the coffee was overly bitter. Such a shame.

Fantastic bakery. Their Cornish pasties are delicious and their squares amazing. Friendly staff who actually delivered to hotel so we could take their pasties home with us. Excellent bakery

Walked the kids down for a pasty and pastry . Warm friendly welcome and excellent produce. We will return!

Friendly staff.Worth the wait-due to the demand, piping hot, lovely pastry,plentiful, tasty filling,accompanied with a mug of tea, whilst enjoying the wonderful view. Chocolate cake that we had as take-away was also yummy.

Atmosphere was zero as the person serving was more interested in talking with her friends than serving a customer. This was supposed to be the "bees knees" for Cornish Pasties but their product was only average and I definitely experienced better pasties elsewhere in Cornwall plus the atmosphere was zero.

Stayed in St Mawes and called into this little shop a few times. The staff even opened up early when we wanted to call in early before a morning walk. Great pasties.

As a born & bred Cornish person, I absolutely love this little no frills bakery. The lovely lady serving is so friendly & serves with a local flare & accent! Part & parcel of visiting St Mawes. The scones, saffron buns & other local goodies are superb. To savour a saffron bun & mug of steaming hot tea, sat outside overlooking the picturesque harbour & river can’t be beaten.

Fab bakery with scones to die for and great pastries. Only problem is they sell out fast so get there early. They do need more selection for vegetarians as very limited.

I really cannot understand these places that don’t supply to demand. The Pasties here are lovely but our preference is chicken or veg. St Mawes bakery only does traditional or cheese & veg as we don’t eat beef & we have have been here on numerous occasions when the veg have sold out.

Great local small bakery. Whilst not a huge selection we all good quality .not a lot more to say now bla bla bla bla bla

This has to be THE worst pasty I have ever tasted. Bland pastry, bland mushy vegetables inside and inconsistent seasoning - in fact all the seasoning in my pasty was delivered in one mouthful. I returned thinking my first impression must have been wrong given the number of stellar reviews on here but my second visit was worse than the first. The one redeeming feature of the pasty is the meat but that’s not good enough for me to return a third time. Go instead to the cafe opposite where you’ll find a beautifully seasoned traditional pasty that is full of flavour.

Freshly baked hot pasties to take away. Meat and also a cheese and potato. They are make a great cheap lunch and keep hot for ages!

We love the pasties a Crispy crust with plenty of meat in the filling. A bakery run by local family, located on the quay . Ideal for eating on the beach or better still for the ferry journey over to Falmouth .

Il locale si trova al porticciolo di questo grazioso e piccolo paese

Amazing pasty’s here & great coffee. A young man served us and he was so friendly & welcoming. This place is busy and I know why... a must when in st mawes.

Love this small bakery especially for the Cornish Pasties! Also do great looking cakes as well. A must visit when in St Mawes!

Smashing little bakery for produce or a bite to eat. Very popular shop does good pasties & cakes which sell very quickly in high summer. Situated in a picturesque spot with plenty to watch.

Definitely recommend his bakery. The lovely lady and young man who serve are always chatty and friendly. My little boy went every day for a sausage role and we always bought our bread from there too.

Run by mum and son, we were amazed by the selection and hugely impressed by the quality of the fare here. Fantastic bread, cakes, pastries, pasties. They work very hard and make everything themselves which is pretty admirable when they are both in the shop all day, serving it too!! Not a single crumb is left most days, it’s the go to bakery for the holiday self caterers and the locals too I would imagine.

Do not miss visiting this Bakery..even if you have to queue for a while for access ! . The choice of bread, pasty and pastries is amazing .You will be spoilt for choice and the standard is wonderful

Non mass produced pasties, full of good quality tasty tender beef. One of the best pasties I have ever bought. Nice location on the quay with some tables and chairs for customers.

We drive down from Hampshire just to buy these (OK so we're also visiting friends in Portscatho!) - fresh out of the oven they're spectacularly tasty and you gotta be quick to get some. Top tip - ring ahead to find out when the next bake is on its way to the shop! Friendly authentic good old-fashioned service and quality - the bread and buns are fabulous too.

Great scones. Cracking cakes. Good value. "Proper job" as the lady in the bakery said! Nicely located on the seafront.

Popped in to get the evening meal. Opted just to buy pasties but there was so much more on offer. Hard to resist the treats. The staff were very friendly. The pasties were delightful. Warmed in the oven not microwave. Delicious

We only bought a few pasties here. Only traditional one was available but it tasted good! Service was prompt and good. A good spot for a cuppa sitting outside when the sun is out.

Sat outside with our dog , lovely. Had a cornish pasty which hit the spot! Friendly lady serving and bought a crusty loaf for tomorrow's brekkie. Will visit again.
