Stein's Patisserie in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It was pretty good for coffee and we got a few cannoli. The staff were very welcoming. Rick doesn’t really rip us off but he does charge top dollar. The problem is that the cafe is uncomfortable to sit within and the truth of it is it’s not really set up for comfort but it’s priced equivalent to places where folks can relax. I doubt we’ll return to Cornwall again but if we do we’ll give his coffee place a miss.

Good spot to hide from the rain. Good coffee and scones! Not a busy day which was nice as seats available in the window and staff bought coffee over, spoilt !!

I suspected it would be disappointing and it was. Average coffee and a below par cake. Very uncomfortable bench to sit on and a broken dishwasher meaning takeaway cups only.

Nice little place for a scone and a coffee. Clotted cream and Jam was perfect after a long day. Friendly staff too. Bit small inside.

Visited couple of times for sandwiches…at £11.50 out the chiller cabinet was expecting crab sandwich to be good…but turned out to be lots of shell in it and zero flavour - asked for lemon or salt to liven it up but none available - friend had ham salad sandwich which was totally tasteless as well - average quality ingredients at best no seasoning I’ve had better from local petrol station at half the cost - Given the Stein brand expect to pay but also expect quality , imagination and tasty result - would not bother again - ps staff very friendly tho

Really lovely lady served me but it went downhill after that. I paid £6.80 for the tiniest coffee I've ever had as a takeaway and the most burnt pain au raisin I've ever seen. If I had made it and it was as black as mine was today I would never have served it. The coffee tasted of fish! Very disappointed and I won't bother again.

Great coffee roasted locally and brilliant Barrista's. Friendly knowledgeable staff and good atmosphere. Very close to the sea front but not on it.

They always serve a quality cup of coffee. I brought a friend who was very impressed and had two! The staff are helpful and friendly too

Had as a family some grilled fish and some battered. The grilled hake was lovely-the best I’ve ever had. The battered cod was light, crispy and not stodgy at all. Delicious!

Great to see that you can choose your own coffee beans. The staff were super helpful and very friendly. Nice place to sit and have a coffee after a walk on the beach. The mocha was great.

Popped in for a coffee/tea takeaway with some lovely croissants. Staff helpfull and coffee was tasty.

Food was limited choice of three sandwiches sausage rolls or sweet cake but we were happy with our choices of food - hummus and avocado bagel and a ham sandwich. Not the cheapest but they were blooming marvellous. We got the last pastel de nata too... result. Treated our pooches like the Prince and Princess that they are.

Limited choice of food, but if a pastry or cake with your coffee is all you need you can’t go wrong. The coffee is exception and the lemon drizzle the best I’ve ever had. Great location for people watching

Great coffee and very friendly staff. Quick and efficient service. Helpful. Place clean a little hot inside

We nipped into the cafe to get a bit of food and a coffee and were very disappointed with the food and service. I myself ordered an avocado and hummus bagel, luckily I unwrapped it in the shop whilst waiting for coffee and found no avocado at all on the bagel, it was also very poor quality (see photo). Obviously this was false advertisement so I told the waitress very politely that there was no avocado to which she grabbed it from me and came back 5-10 mins later with the same bagel with some roughly chopped avocado on top. She was rude not offering an apology, just pushed it my direction and moved onto the next customer. Would definitely avoid, there were better options around the corner. We do like Rick stein however his establishments are questionable in my opinion.

You can’t avoid Rick Stein’s establishments when in Padstow, and this is one of his. So a quick coffee we thought…wrong. Whilst this establishment is very small and has no real room for numbers sitting inside, the option is really to take away. Which is no big issue. Well first things first, the coffees are excellent. Great taste, hot and not awfully priced. But, my, the staff really, obviously, don’t want to be there. On two visits, I thought the first might be an aberration, the coffees took an age to arrive, if they actually had more than 2 orders, I’m sure they would really struggle! Aside from the person on the till ( who found it difficult to navigate their system) generally surly and uncommunicative staff. If you need a quick shot of caffeine I’d go elsewhere!

Purchased the £10 afternoon tea which is jam, cream and 4 scones.Got back to our hotel and found the scones were just completely stale and hard.You could use them to prop open the hotel room door.Rick I know it has been a difficult year but you don’t see to care about the quality of the products you sell anymore. Will not be returning. Very disappointing....If you treat your customers like this then we will not comeback and repurchase items.

We called at this patisserie to buy something to take back to our air Bnb. I was not impresses. A lot of the produce looked like it had been hanging around and was past it's best. Very disappointing. Won't be rushing back.

Bought a chocolate and salted caramel tart and a lemon tart. Absolutely outstanding. Pasties have really great pastry and are well filled and well seasoned. Definitely will be back

We were in Padstow last week and popped into the bakery, tempted by the array of fantastic cakes and breads in the window. I bought a couple of cakes and a delicious focaccia. Pricey, but worth a bit extra.

Lovely array of pastries and tartlets beautifully displayed, impossible to walk past without purchasing. Not disappointed!

Everything we bought was delicious, service excellent, the shop was laid out smartly and it was impeccably clean, when we are in Cornwall always make sure we make several visits.

First visit had espresso and tiny eclairs... so impressed went back next two days and tried steak pastie and smoked haddock pastie, custard tart,strawberry tart, banoffee tart and blueberry frangipani tart.... all scrumptious of very high quality and travelled well... we walked nearly two miles back to our holiday apartment

We purchased eight scones to take home in Rick Steins Patisserie in Padstow today, we were really looking forward to our cream tea this afternoon. Sadly, this didn’t happen as the scones were like rocks and completely inedible. So we threw them in the bin. Shame on you Rick Stein you charge the earth for all of your products but don’t provide the quality we would expect that carries your name, in return.

We went in for a sugary treat after a bumpy boat ride. I ordered a cup of tea and the member of staff accidentally made it too milky for me. He was brilliant and made me a proper builders tea for me to replace it straight away. The cakes were delicious and the choice was really good.

Don't be put off by the name ...thinking you're going to pay extra because it's Steins . The scones were by far the best looking, largest and slightly cheaper than the other bakeries. And they tasted great. We enjoyed them so much we returned the next day for more !

On this occasion, we visited later in the day, the window display was a little bare, but what was there looked delicious, so delicious I had to have one, yes just one, and it was smashing, if pastries/ buns are your thing, then it’s well worth a visit.

Me and my husband stopped off in Padstow and stumbled across this place.. the window displays of freshly baked bread and desserts looked too amazing to not go in! We went for the salted caramel cheesecake and berry cheesecake... literally the best cheesecake I’ve had in a very long time. I could have easily had another slice. That good I’m debating going back tomorrow on our way back home to get more. Yes it’s more expensive than most places.. but quality is there and who wouldn’t pay extra for that.

Yes, this is the one....freshly baked breads and rolls beautifully displayed...that's wonderful enough but your eyes move onto the display of cakes and tarts...you can't resist...don't even try...sublime...

we bought so lovely pasties and little tray bakes to eat very nice even bought more for the road home.

We had Cornish pasties, lemon drizzle and sunken chocolate cake as well as Turkish style bread which were all nice if a little pricey. The shop was clean and service was good.

After a few days travelling round a few parts of Cornwall and trying several pasties we stopped in Padstow and had a pasty at this place. The pasty is the most superior anywhere, just delicious.

We stopped at Stein’s Patisserie whole visiting Padstow and brought cakes to take away. The patisserie was well stocked with plenty of choice. The staff were lovely, friendly and polite. The packaging was nice and completely recyclable and the cakes were amaze. One of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Excuse the nibble missing from the piccy of the cake - I got too excited and couldn’t wait for a taste

Custard tart tasted of a cross between scrambled egg and somehow bacon? Treacle tart was ok, pastry was undercooked. Doughnuts were ok. Had many better experiences at Greggs! And for a third of the price.....at least. Don’t bother and have something from the local bakers.

Been in Padstow all week and visited this place virtually every day for a white loaf.

We stayed 5 minutes walk from this little gem and so couldn't resist popping down for a breakfast treat every now and then. Prices aren't astronomical but you'll want to go steady (if not for your wallet's sake then certainly for your waistline's!)

We were recommended to try the Cornish pasties & were not disappointed, they were packed with meat & a few vegetables with nice crispy pastry.

Delicous food. Not bad value. We took ours over on the ferry and had a picnic Haddock was well seasoned, a little too salty if anything.

Fantastic cakes & bread - we visited several times during the week and would recommend buying some of the cakes. Staff very helpful and produce wrapped in little boxes

Bought some fruit scones and mini Éclairs to take home and enjoy. They were all lovely. I assumed the Éclairs would have cream inside but they didn't so that was a pleasant surprise. I just wish you could order food from here online.

Lots of lovely cakes and pastries, even some decent gluten free ones. Allergen information is readily available and the staff were very helpful. We had one of those huge meringues each and had total sugar overload for the rest of the day but enjoyed it massively.

Bought Strawberry Flan & a Frangipane, same quality as your average supermaket but twice the price. Very disappointed! Would not encourage you to go to one of there restaurants if this is the standard they aspire to.

Pasties are the best. I’ve tried many pasties throughout Cornwall.

Oh god, so just how many pasties can you eat in a week. On top of that they do some really delicious cakes, so I've been told. Will be getting on the wheel to lose the weight when I get back.

Another of Steins empire and like many of his establishments overpriced £1:50 for a croissant. Staff chatting and not serving

This shop has a great deal to offer from delicious bread and pastries, preserves and gifts.All of the produce would seem to be of a high quality but,as one would expect, rather on the costly side.

The window displays of baked goods are so tempting...breads, cakes, cookies etc.

On our last day we went to Stein’s Patisserie after having an amazing lunch at Stein’s fish and chips. We had some mini eclairs, treacle tart, lemon meringue tart and salted caramel and chocolate tart which were all so tasty! Couldn’t decide on one so thought ehh not get a few! The lemon meringue tart was definitely the best!!

Having spotted this Patisserie on our visit to Padstow we had a look in the window and saw some delicious looking focaccia.

a great choice of wonderful Patisserie, but not good for my sugar Levels. its a just have to visit and buy to try. good friendly service and great smelling shop.

Excellent pastries and cornish pasties, at very good prices. We had one smoked haddock pasty (excellent), one wonderful small cake made with almond paste, one large "cornwall cream tea" (four huge scones, one whole jar of jam and a very large quantity of clotted cream, very good). All for about 17 euros. Excellent.

Just found Stein’s Patisserie in Padstow with an array of mouthwatering cakes, desserts, pastries, breads , I could go on forever. All tempting but succumbed to the custard; bakewell tart and blueberry and almond tarts and a very large merengue for the family’s to try, all were eaten and enjoyed by all.

After a lovely lunch at Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, my husband and I had a wander around Padstow and fancied a take away coffee so I popped into the Patisserie.

The large pasties are stuffed full with tasty meat, potatoes, etc just as an authentic pasty should be. The pastry was lovely and thin and the amount of pepper was perfect unlike a lot of the tasteless versions I tried elsewhere. For a Traditionalist, born in the West Country, this was as near perfect as a pastie can be.

You'll struggle to make up your mind, as you'll want it all. The lemon cheesecake is the best. The salted caramel cheesevake is to die for, the strawberry tart is heaven and so on. I had just died and gone to dessert heaven. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. You must stop here for a surgery treat.

The lemon meringue tarts and the strawberry tarts from here were amazing. Little bit pricey but it's rick steins so what do you expect. Good quality ingredients are used, I will return.

We tried pasty’s in the bakery overlooking the harbour and they we greasy with a mushy filling.

I suppose you must visit a "Steins " when you walk around Padstow, and for a change" no queue " As always a mouthwatering selection,so to hell with the budget get stuck in ! delicious.

A reluctant visit to buy a present for friends...but a bit stressful! Tiny shop, long queue, one poor person serving. People were helping themselves, so I did too. I First, I had to first make up boxes for the cakes, then balance them on the little space available, and navigate the cakes into the boxes with the unsuitable implement provided. Then I had to queue, again balancing the boxes on any surface I could find whilst I fished out the thirty quid it was going to cost me...never have I paid so much for cakes, and expended so much effort!

We always treat ourselves when we come to Cornwall and have a cake from here.

Lesson to self always check prices before you buy or at least ask. I was caught for £1.75 for each doughnut that I bought.

Wonderful place to look at the delicious treats on offer - daughter liked the pain au choc with glaze and choc topping, and the macaroons. everything looks amazing and so tempting- and much cheaper than South-east prices too.

We visited here twice. The first visit was for ourselves. Delicious patisseries and the biggest meringues you have every seen. Also bought Chalky beers and glasses. Lots of great shopping ages too. Served by very friendly ladies. The second visit was on the last day of our holiday to take retreats home. The young man who served me seemed quite stressed and didn’t really pack the meringues well. Also I bought patisserie cakes and ready made cream teas, but I wasn’t offered a bag and struggled out with all my goodies. I should have asked but felt a bit stressed too so just left. Can’t say anything negative about all the products as they are delicious.

Really nice Pasties and refreshing that prices havent been hiked to reflect the celeb owner, all food looked delicious.

Purchased wonderfully huge meringues and tasty cheese and onion focaccia together with good quality takeaway coffees. Not overpriced in my opinion and lovely service. A very nice shop.

We called in for a loaf of bread and the beauty and quality of the the fresh goods on display made us stop and reconsider all our food plans for that day. Delicious products and great service

3 of us had a steak pasty each. Very tasty and at £3.75 good value. Good selection and would visit again.

Bought a loaf of whole meal bread and some meringues. Bread was still fresh 3 days later, meringues didn’t last that long. Yummy yummy 😋

Fabulous choice of fresh cooked bread and pastries spoilt for choice. Would highly recommend as a way of putting on weight

What a brilliant little patisserie. The selection of cakes and bakes is excellent as is the quality of the products. Rick Stein doesn’t put his name to poor quality and it shows in his patisserie. Lots of nice scones, cakes, meringues and pastries and not over priced. Recommend

When I first walked by this patisserie, I stopped in awe of the selection in the windows. The bakes are very impressive visually so we decided to buy a selection of treats to take back to our holiday bungalow. We loved the Meringues, the eclairs were great, the chocolate twists delightful and the cheesecake was fantastic. The only thing that let it down is the tarts. I had both a lemon meringue tart and a custard tart, both of which were rather bland. If it weren't for them this would be a 5 star review; but by all means don't pass up on the chance to taste the treats from this wonderful bakery.

Took away their lovely tea time packet and ate it on the train back to London. It was the perfect ending to our stay. The scones were fresh+jam and clotted cream! Who could ask for more!!

We had pasties from other shops but the smoked haddock and cream Pastie from Ricks is the best I have ever had. So tasty and perfect pastry. Delicious! It’s worth the extra pennies.

easily the best cheesecake ive had, superb macarons were nothing special meringue was good staff were nice

Fantastic products and cakes - but shockingly rude service from the member of staff (female) on the counter. We must have caused offence by our presence, and it clearly pained her to serve my wife. My wife was very upset by the time spent in Rick Stein's Patisserie. Suffice to say, when leaving, I politely wished the member of staff a happy new year, to which she replied 'and you'. The experience left a very sour taste in the mouth from our family visit to Padstow.

Not cheap but what do you expect, but must say very tasty. We took some back to our holiday cottage for breakfast still soft and lovely the following day

Very expensive and not very tasty. We bought a mixture of cakes. Two were reduced (I think they were yesterday's)...they were inedible. The others were not tasty unfortunately and after we'd all tried, with no one returning for seconds, they too went in the bin. The big raspberry meringue was a real let down. I was really surprised to see yesterday's bread being sold off too...who wants yesterday's bread!!? Is Rick really that desperate. His fish and chips were fantastic, so top marks to those guys, but sack your pastry and cake chefs!

Unfortunately our experience here was a very bad one.

Really expensive.... but never been disappointed. Everything from croissants to loaves and French sticks, totally amazing and great for breakfast. I also highly recommend the macaroons too

Stopped in here for a home made loaf , great quality at reasonable prices Cakes looked great too! Well worth a visit when in padstow

This in my view is the best cake shop I have ever visited. The Bakewell tart is light and a delight. We have brought home a Christmas pudding

The pastries etc. look lovely but taste only average. Very expensive as with all of Stein's outlets.

The quality of pastries, breads and croissants is exactly as you would expect from this signature brand. Fresh, wonderful aroma...

Walked into the shop and I really didn't know what to buy the merengues was huge but im a Danish...

The picture portrayed by the window doesn't let you down when you go in. The smell of fresh bread and pastries assaults your senses. The day we went it was raining outside and the lady that was serving us made sure that what we bought was well protected. A really enjoyable shop.Thank you to the lady that looked after us

Had a quick egg custard and my partner had a lemon tart, it's safe to say they were easily the best tasting I've experienced in a long time! 10/10

Fresh pasties! Cake ! Coffee brown walnut bread! Great coffee. Books and wine available all rick stein. Changing cakes all week! Opens at 9 in morning. Very clean,

we love this stop off on our trip to St Ives. The apricot danish pastries are the best. Lovely baguettes too. I love this shop!

This is one of a number of Stein shops in Padstow. It was clean and well thought out (although his fish shop on the front under his cookery school could be cleaner, lots of debris and dust are clearly visible under the wheeled display counters from the pavement outside and obviously hadn't been cleaned or moved in days). The cakes are self service and reasonably priced. The staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful.

Was okay, nothing to get excited about. Bit pricey, paying for the name rather than top notch patisserie.

As a treat, my husband bought us each a pastry as a mid morning snack. He chose two pear tarts and two strawberry tarts. They were gorgeous , especially the pear tart, which consisted of lovely crisp pastry, a whole pear with jam in the middle and lovely glaze. A bit more than we would normally pay but worth every penny

If you're in Padstow don't miss the cheesecake, it is fabulous! We shared strawberry and salted caramel. Just wished we lived nearer to Padstow!

I do love most things that Stein has brought to Padstow. The only negative thing I could say here is this - ( nothing quality related at all mind )Since the shop remodelled, the range of cakes has seemed to got less. Everything is very good. However, on holiday, everyone is partial to tea and afternoon cake! We always used to pop in to see what was available that day and make our minds up later. Treacle tarts, orange zesty things, proper eclairs, raspberry domes, bakewells, pecan tart and hazelnut dacquoise that was unbelievable! So if you're in Padstow for a while the limited range soon gets repetitive. My wife also asks to bring back the Sausage rolls! They were amazing. So very good! Two of those and a Latte would relieve any Rattler or Tribute induced silliness!

Well you sent go to padstein and not go in one of his shops. I had a steak pasty. I must admit it was good and couldn't really fault it other than the crimp was a bit heavy and a bit doey which gave me indigestion later on. My partner had an egg custard tart. She said it was nice but no better as Asda extra special ones. Soz Ricky!

Popped in for a takeaway pastie not expecting much. Bought one, went outside to find somewhere to eat it & not have to share with the seagulls! As soon as i'd finished it, I went back in for another one!! Never eaten two pasties in one sitting in my life!! It was simply the best pastie i've ver had (perfectly seasoned & FULL of everything you'd WANT to find in a pastie

Self service for delicious cakes and patisserie. Bought strawberry tart, treacle tart and lemon meringue pie - all to die for. For £3.50 each its bit pricey but a lovely afternoon treat nonetheless.

Having cycled a great distance up the Camel Trail we were ready for a much looked forward to Rick Stein Pasty. They can be purchased from this patisserie for £3.50 so not cheap; probably about right for a tourist centre. We took them away to the quayside to eat and had to run the gauntlet of the gulls. They can be kept at bay if you keep the food in the bag except when biting the next mouthful off.The taste was good but not above average. I felt that I had eaten my daily allowance of salt by the time I got to the end of it. The one gristly bit was one more than I would have expected from a Stein dish.Would I come back? Yes, probably. The pasty is a 'must do' dish when in Cornwall and these are amongst the best. Hopefully the Steins will check the meat quality before my next visit.

We selected the take out option for two - we had two huge scones and it was so so good! They kept us going for the whole night and into the next day and really reasonably priced xo

Food is great. Shame about the poor customer service. No acknowledgement but managed to carry on chatting when one person was serving a couple. The guy who eventually served me used no pleasantries and had an attitude. He did not seem to understand me and had to keep repeating my request. Despite this did not have a problem returning to his conversation before I had left the shop.

Had to go as we had eaten at the restaurant had a great meal but the Salted Caramel Cheesecake we to die for could not find recipe in any of his books so just had to buy more
