The Bake House in North Devon

Excellent Cornish Homelands fresh from the oven Very affordable prices To go and snack on the port pier

Realy good food. For the vegies as well. And realy nice People

Absolutely PHENOMENAL pasties. We had a Traditional and a Beef and Stilton (although there were about fifteen to choose from - they're on rotation in and out of the oven so you may need to hang about for a minute or two and be patient - just sit on the wall and enjoy the view for a bit). Not over-priced (£4.95 each) and well worth the money. Piping hot out of the oven with thin, crispy and well-made pastry; the contents absolutely stuffed in! Such incredibly friendly and helpful service - marked up the bags so we knew what was what. If we didn't live four hours away, we'd be back to stock up the freezer!

We had the chicken with bacon and chorizo pasty. It was very tasty and spicy. Price at 4.95£ ok for a tourist hot spot. You can enjoy it while looking at Lynmouth harbour.

A small port that I stopped by. There was a bakery shop nearby that looked delicious. Kind brother. I ordered an Americano and a vegetable pie and had lunch while looking out at the sea❣️

It was the best pasty I've had in England, delicious and generously filled. It was fantastic.

Fantastic Chicken Pasty, beautifully baked highly recommended.

After a long walk to waters meet popped into Lynmouth. As we walked passed The Bake House and the smell was amazing. I just had to stop and test the pasties. Well I had the traditional steak pastie. I can honestly say it’s one of the best pasties I’ve had in a very long while and I’ve eaten a lot 😂. The gentleman serving was so polite it was a pleasure to talk to him. These pasties are not brushed with egg so safe if you have an egg allergy. The filling was just right good amount of steak and vegetables and not dry like some you get. I washed it down with a latte which was a perfect end to a loverly day. There was a queue but service was very good so we didn’t have to wait long but it was well worth the wait.

Gluten free Cornish pasties available! Steak or cheese and onion. I had the steak. Soo good.

Had a steak pasty, which was really delicious, and 100% worth the wait in the queue. The man serving us was also so welcoming and friendly.

My partner and I came down to Watersmeet to hike the trail to the hunting lodge, and afterwards parked in town and needed something to eat. We walked past the pasty shop thinking we’d get an afternoon tea, but the smell of this place was so amazingly good, we doubled back. We ordered the lamb and mint, ham and cheddar, and chicken, bacon and chorizo pasties. I think my mouth might be permanently burned because not only were they incredibly fresh and hot, I didn’t want to stop eating regardless of the heat. There are some 1* reviews on here but they are not fair, and are mostly from people whining about not being treated like royalty. They need to get over themselves cause these pasties are insanely good. I’d come back to Lynmouth just to sit in the sun on the rocks and eat these pasties again.

Needed an afternoon snack round here,saw this and decided to go in.They had gluten free pasty which I’ve never known anywhere to do nor have I ever tried it because of this.The steak pasty was absolutely delicious.Also the milkshakes were absolutely delicious as well.Would recommend this to anyone

Lovely chap serving. So friendly and welcoming. Coffee is brilliant. Highly recommended. We also had pasties which were lovely.

Brilliant customer service: kind and friendly. Have been there many times and have never been disappointed with the food or staff.

Brilliant chicken, bacon and chorizo pasty

We stopped to grab some lunch when at the beach. Thankfully we got the best vegan pasty ever! Dreaming of those flavours now we are back from our holiday.

Incredible pasties, sell out fast and you often have to queue but 100% worth it. Just the smell from the bakery alone is enough to get your mouth watering.

One of the best pastys we have had.

Absolutly amazing pasty.chick/bacon/chorizo pasty with cream tea deal £8.You cant beat that and tasty too👍

Gluten free pasty heaven! THE best gluten free pasty ever! How happy was I? The same price as a glutinous one and the same size!! Utterly delicious! Very grateful customer!

Purchased pasties for a group of 8, service from front of house was great, polite, patient and very helpful as some of the choices were not available. Pasties we’re very tasty, sausage rolls were ok. The thing that disappointed however, was the attitude of one of the more mature female staff members who had come outside for a cigarette break whilst we were all sat down in a public area eating the food just purchased from the shop they work in. Having just spent £45, we didn’t not expect to have to hear a very loud sigh and a grumble of “bl**!! tourists in the way” as the area with a bench and wishing well asking for donations was occupied with our group including 4 young hungry children! I’m very sorry that we were sat in “a staff” break area, but had we known that this was a space clearly for “staff” use only we would not have sat there, not that there was any indication that this was a private area owing to the fact of the well asking for public donations and a phone box library. We had, as tourists wrongly assumed that this was a public seating area! Obviously the lovely little shop here does not need to rely on tourists as would your wage! Yes, dealing with customers whilst working can be frustrating if rude or difficult and we all have bad days (8 years retail experience), but to be doing nothing more than eating, I think that is quite rude on your part and not a good advertisement for an otherwise lovely little outlet in Lynton. Sometimes it’s best to vent out of earshot of your customers or take a break away from your ‘much loved tourists’.

Specifically asked for brown bread - this was made very clear and I ended up with white bread which I cannot eat due to dietary requirements. This came to no surprise as the girl behind the till really did not appear to be listening to our order and didn’t bother repeating this back - basic customer service skills are not apparent here. We also waited for approximately 20 minutes whilst customers who arrived and ordered after us had their food made before ours. Very disappointing as the shop itself looks very appealing.

Friendly, efficient service, delicious pasties and cream teas. Lovely seated area, and dog friendly too!

I bought my children ice cream from here and they enjoyed it. One chocolate and one strawberry. We joined a queue that moved quickly and we were served fast.

I purchased a gluten free steak pasty from the Bakehouse on Thursday. After a long wait ( presume for it to be heated) I tucked in.The pasty was supposed to have steak but I only found one very small piece !! I would describe it as a potato pasty as that appeared to be its only filling. No onion or seasoning, nothing to give it any flavour. This pasty was just bland and boring potato !Would never purchase again.

Very tasty pasties! Lots to choose from; would visit again.

Really nice coffee and nice staff Pastes are pretty good nothing to complain about The chicken,bacon chorizo was more spicy then I thought it would be enjoyed it though.

We had the best vegan sausage roll we've ever had here (and we've tried MANY). The scones were lovely too, very light & fluffy.

Went to Lynmouth as part of our holiday in June 2021. Stopped at the cafe for an icecream and coffee, received absolutely wonderful service and a great advice which road to take to get safely up the hill out of the town.

We stopped for a pasty. We ordered a chicken and chorizo in one and a traditional (whispers ‘Cornish’?). Both were good with decent amounts of filling and sauce/gravy. When we walked back past we topped off a healthy lunch with an ice cream. Mrs B enjoyed Lotus Biscoff with a lump of clotted cream on top, while Mr B had double chocolate. Both were good and creamy. We just so happen to be passing again tomorrow!

We were surprised to find this open due to the current climate and had pasties, one of which was vegan (curry/mango chutney type) and was delicious, a veggie one (cheese and veg) which was also nice, and a meat one (chicken and chorizo) that was good. An option for everyone. A couple days later we returned for hot dogs, a vegan one which was incredible, a curry one also great and they were all served with chips, crisps, salad and the baguette. Well worth the money. Nice coffee too.

£7.40 for a luke warm take away pasty and a sausage roll !!!! I can go into a pub and buy a whole meal for that price!! They are ripping people off at those prices and taking advantage of the current situation.

Lovely cafe on seafront. Coffee tasts amazing and cream tea...omg, the scone was the biggest I've ever seen....and homemade in the cafe! Definitely recommend it!

Three and a pooch called in on a wet Wednesday, we were greeted with kind smiles and friendly conversation from Ian & Ben. We managed to get a table with a sea view, just opposite the door.All three of us chose the meal deal. (A regular size pasty, tea/coffee and a cream tea, all for £8.95)The pasties were fantastic! ( I live in the West Country and for a good sized, well filled, tasty hot fresh pasty £4.80 is a fair price! Not this mass produced Ginsters rubbish).The scones were massive too and tasted divine. Ben had asked for our opinion on the scones, as he had baked them that morning with a new butter and they had turned out slightly different to before.We will definitely be returning here, especially if Ian & Ben are working. During these difficult times, where everything is constantly changing, it is hard to find such good and friendly service.Cheers guys, you made our day trip perfect!

The best pasty I’ve ever had! I wasn’t all that fussed about pasty’s, I’ve always found them to be dry. But this one...my god! My husband was dying for a pasty and stopped off in Lynmouth for some chips so he was delighted when he also nabbed the last vegan pasty from here. It smelled so good, I was grateful he let me try a bit and then we ended up sharing it because I couldn’t get enough. I will be raving about this pasty for days and potentially the rest of my life. I don’t even care that it cost near abouts a fiver. So damn good.

... we were looking for a quick lunch to recharge the batteries. The Bake House has a great range of sandwiches, baguettes and panini that steers made to order and taste great! Well worth a visit

All four of us had the vegan pasty and agreed it’s the best pasty we’ve ever had. Really lovely staff as well. We’re going back today to get another 😍

Such a lovely place. Went with my whole family and my boyfriend to this small city just for this cafe. When we came they were literally closing but we explained how far we have come just to order from them and Mr. Ian decided to stay behind after closing just to serve us the food is excellent. We all had vegan burgers which are made of high quality ingredients and chips which are one of those that you remember for a long time thank you very much and will definitely come back again!!

The food was ok, but I'd it's extremely expensive for what you get

They do the most amazing gluten free pasty and have a great awareness of cross contamination so really good if you are coeliac- would recommend to any coeliacs desperate for a pasty

Amazing vegan onion bhaji pasty.!!

We visited The Bake house twice in one day as my son fancied ice cream to cool himself down.There were lots of flavours making it difficult for him to choose. The lady who served us was extremely friendly and actually took the time to speak to my son. He eventually decided on the double chocolate.Sadly,as we walked away the ice cream part fell into the road, we decided to go back to see if he could just get the ice cream part of the cornet replaced The same lady noticed us in the queue and very quickly replaced my sons ice cream with no charge. Lovely ice cream and lovely staff. Thank you

Stopped here for some great pasties, traditional and a lamb and mint one, both delicious. Plenty of others were available, lots to tempt anyone. On the way back, we thought we would try the ice creams and were not disappointed. Again, several lovely flavours to choose from, and we were well impressed. So, when you are in Lynmouth and you fancy a hot or cold snack, stop off at the Bake House and Ian and the crew will not disappoint you.

Ian gives service with a smile. My absolutely confirmed meat eater of a husband said that the vegan, onion bhaji pasty was the best he had ever tasted. We can also recommend the steak and stilton. Homemade cakes top it all off nicely. (Especially the bakewell tart). Wonderful

The door was open on our walk past so I popped my head in and asked for an ice cream. The shop was closed for refurbishment finishing touches but my request was fulfilled anyway! I left as one happy customer after a pleasant conversation along the way. Check out the clotted cream vanilla and Cherry Bakewell flavour ice creams! Yummy!

Highly recommend to go get an ice-cream. The Bakewell tart flavour is something special! The staff were lovely and very helpful.

We popped in today for a Cornish pasty with my family. The service was Very quick and the pasties were amazing! Staff were super friendly! We have a 1yo who is a little on the messy side. My husband went to ask for a dustpan for us to tidy up and they had said no because they were happy to tidy up for us. It’s the 2nd time I’ve been and would 100% recommend to anyone to visit.

A lovely place on the Harbour with a lovely selection of food and friendly staff.

Delicious freshly baked pasty, scones and bread. Highly recommended. The meal deal - pasty plus scone, jam and cream is excellent.

A great selection of pasties, sandwiches, baguettes or paninis to eat in and admire the sea view or takeaway

Our group ordered our food after one another and sat down to a table. 5 of us got the food at the same time while one had to wait another 10-15 minutes to get a tea. When we made a complain the waiter replied in a quite rude manner. Not to mention that everything is overpriced.

During my brief Devon, a trip to Lynmouth was on the cards.After pottering around many of the shops, the Aussie in me required shelter from the Autumn chill and a recharge for the body.The traditional pastie was good and the cream tea and scone fantastic.I don't know whether it's competitively priced, but a pastie with tea and scone were £7.95 when I sheltered here.

Lovely sea front position, helpful friendly staff. Dogs welcome. Lovely food, what more do you need😍

Great tasting pasties with a large range to choose from, friendly staff, great location with lovely scenic views

Stopped off twice here after the pastie smell from outside we had to. Not really cheap £4.45 for a pastie but they taste nice they do panini cream teas etc.

My wife and I stopped in for a bite to eat after the mammoth climb from the Lynmouth. The food was lovely and I would very much recommend the pasty! Was a little pricy though £4.50 for the pasty!

During our week’s holiday, we had two lots of pasties to take away. My son is gluten free and my daughter is following a vegan diet. We tried the traditional pasties and the lamb and mint- both delicious! The gluten free pastry on the traditional gf pasty was light and tasty. Each time we visited there were interesting different options for vegans. Today’s option was cauliflower, chickpea and onion bhaji in a verb crust. It was very tasty and meant that those on special diets didn’t have to feel that they were ‘making do’!

Our take away order was put into the queue for restaurant orders and we were therefore waiting a long time for our order. This also caused a long queue for all take out orders. Food good once we got it.

We had spotted this place on Friday of our visit and had decided to visit on Sunday. Our first choice was "sold out", our second choice was "out of stock" ended up settling on panini and sausage roll which were both average and they were even running out of orange juice which was clearly from a carton, from concentrate. Wouldn't really recommend. Was fine but nothing special.They should also consider proper table service as it's such a small establishment with quite a few staff working at one time.

Hier gibts frische Pasties und mehr. Wir hatten 2 Pasties und Cream Tea. Beides war sehr lecker, vor allem die Pasties waren lobenswert. Personal war ganz ok. Hatten nichts auszusetzen. Hunde sind hier willkommen.

The first GF pasty I’ve had and it was surprisingly good. Friendly little cafe overlooking the harbour.

After a long, tiring walk the pasty plus cream tea deal was just what we needed. We had a Spicy Chicken pasty and a Chicken Bacon and Chorizo pasty both of which were delicious and well filled. The scones which followed were fresh, warm and tasty with plenty of clotted cream and jam. Excellent food and great value!

Asked for a ‘cheese & onion’ pasty, was handed a pasty with the phrase ‘cheese & onion’?. But imagine my disappointment when later that evening I bit into it to find it wasn’t ‘cheese & onion’ but chicken & chorizo, and a very spicy one at that☹️

We didn't 'eat in' at the Bake House, just ordered 2 pasties to go, as I wanted to try a proper pasty when in this part of the country.

Lovely pasty with plenty of filling. One grumble... cheap sausages in the 'jumbo' hot dog. Also, they were served in massive plastic take away containers. Please, Please stop using single use plastics. No need.

I was completely shocked at the dreadful attitude of members of staff in this cafe. Our order was completely forgotten about and after 45 minutes the wrong order was brought without a word of apology. When I complained, I was told that no apology would be forthcoming and that I was the one with the problem! I asked to speak to the manager, to be told there wasn't one today! The place was clearly not looked after, tables not cleared, food debris all over the place. Clearly, inexperienced and untrained young people with no manners left in charge- abysmal!

Sorry, very nice staff but undrinkable coffee. I don't know if we are fussy but it tasted very cheap with no real coffee flavour. We left most of it and wouldn't visit again. Nice position right by the sea.

The homemade lemon syrup cake was excellent. The staff were helpful and kindly filled up my water bottles.

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday, we had a ploughman's lunch it was really tasty and worth the money. The restaurant was very busy but we were served quite quickly. Well worth a visit if in Lynmouth.

Very tasty pies Very filling Took some home for tea and reheated them and they where great. Will come back

Friendly staff Very helpful with regards to allergies etc Will not pretend that they know. Was honest and said let me check with someone. Can’t wait to try the pastry for my tea. A good range to choose from.

The vegeterien pastys were nice but not more. The coffee was wonderful and the service was good. It was good before the walk around.

Spending a week in Lynmouth,we had walked by here several times, but as we were late in day they always seemed to be sold out.

You can get a good pasty or cream tea here but as it is a small place with not many staff you have to be prepared to wait. There was a bit of a mix-up over our order but I think this was because the staff member was new.

Fresh crab sandwiches with salad..very tasty also homemade fish cakes & pasties of various fillings.cosy & friendly

Great pasty’s, very good for price. Staff were very polite and inside was clean and tidy, really glad we visited

Had a pastie and scone meal deal. Really hit the spot after a day of walking around the beach and up the hill.

After a quite frankly dreadful experience in The Ancient mariner our party of 4 decamped here. We were greeted by a lovely smiley young waitress who swiftly provided us with delicious cream teas with warm, fresh scones. This was not only much better but also significantly cheaper than the inedible fare we were offered earlier. A great experience after our earlier debacle!

Me and my husband stopped here between Christmas and new year as we were visiting lynmouth,it was busy but still a couple of tables available,we did have to clear our own table,my husband ordered us a pasty each and a cold drink,he was told it would be a little longer as the pasty’s needed warming,when they finally arrived my pasty was not even luke warm?

November is not the best time of year to visit as most places are closed and choice is limited. Popped in for a quick cuppa and a warm up having walked around. Quite busy and the lady behind the counter was on her own so was a bit rushed. This cafe is not up on fancy coffees - a flat white is a latte here (needs less milk and stronger).

We arrived in the middle of lunchtime to be told that there were no pasties at all! This was at 1.15 on a fairly busy Monday. There were plenty of people around in Lynmouth and the weather was beautiful so it was surprising that they were so unprepared. We returned 45 mins later when we were told that more pasties would be available. We ordered and paid as we were pretty determined to eat lunch by then. The eating area was a real mess. Every table was covered in discarded food, dirty plates, cutlery etc. Were the people serving bothered? No! Neither member of staff looked busy and one even went off for a fag break! I felt that they were quite happy for potential customers to take one look and walk out again as they wouldn't have to serve them. Bearing in mind that we had already paid and were waiting at a table one came over and asked us if we were waiting for food! Disinterested doesn't really do the service justice. Our pasties were ok. There is obviously a lack of competition in Lynmouth for 'sit down' pasties. Really poor.

We grabbed some pasties from here to takeaway and sat on the edge of the harbour and ate them in the sunshine. They were delicious. We had the steak one and spicy chicken one. I can honestly say they were one of the best pasties I've ever had! Definitely recommend.

Food was cold on arrival to us, wouldn’t allow us to amend our order. Didn’t have enough selection available as this was at lunch time. Not enough tea for two people. Wouldn’t recommend

I do not have much to say since we only took two Cornish pasties away when we were walking by and returned for a Cornish cream tea on the way back because the pasties we bought were awesome. But everything that I have to say about this place is just good and great! For the first time, I experienced such a cultural society (Cornish) and elements in England. This place was very iconic in that sense, and a must visit kind of a place while you enjoy the beauty around!

We had a great pasty each lots of flavours to choose from and a very good cup of coffee. Staff were rushed as it was very busy but very polite.

This is the most confused place you could possibly get a pasty from. Everyone has to go to the counter to order, so you have a mix of people waiting to for takeaway, have got a table and want to order and people wanting a table.

Drove down the sleepy hill road into the town of Lynmouth and was bowled over with the typical beauty of a coastal town. Absolutely spectacular. Decided we needed a coffee and went into the above and ordered two flat white coffees to be requested for payment more than a city centre multiple coffee house. I then asked for directions to the loo to be told that they don’t have any.

Heerlijk gegeten aardig personeel. Pas wel op voor je hoofd. En als je het vraagt krijgt je hond ook een bak met water

Called on a Friday lunchtime in Aug when the restaurant area was busy but not full. Our order of 4 pasties took around 30 mins to come but the food was only slightly warm. We also had to chase for our drinks to go with the food which then arrived a few minutes later.

Rude inexperienced staff who don’t really want you eating inside despite the fact they offer takeaway and table”service”. Filthy uncleared tables and offhand young inexperienced and unsupervised staff. Ordered two original pasties and paid for them . One was brought to the table but they told us they hadn’t got another one! Decided to share the lone one and requested a refund for the other. Took three requests before they finally, begrudgingly gave it us back. Don’t bother with this place there are far better places where your custom is valued. Need to pull your socks up and train your staff better or you will lose your reputation.

When eating in, you still have to wait in the queue outside. So, if you want an ice cream as well, you either order it at the same time as the pasty and have it melt, or go back outside after you've eaten the pasty and queue up again.

This place needs renaming as we were told it was takeaway only when we reached the front of a very slow queue! On ordering we were told they had run out of some pasties.

Visited this cafe on Sunday for a much needed snack, ordered beans on toast !! What could be simpler ? What arrived was 2 slices of drip white bread, no butter and clap cold beans on top !!!! When I returned it, the male that served me, wasn't very happy !! he actually said " some people like it like that " !!! , then took it and proceeded to make it again, when it arrived 2 pieces of perfectly toasted bread with butter, and a steaming pot of beans !!! so why didn't he do that in the first place ? I would not leave the 3 members of staff there, in charge of my cafe, they showed no interest, tables were dirty, they did more talking than anything else, therefore I would not go there for anything again.

Lovely pasties and great location. Pots of tea really only do 1 cup but come in proper china. Cups had tea stains and plates,cups had dried on marks and bits where dishwasher has not been effective. Good service.

Used it one evening with my wife and was impressed.Good food, and good staff. Found the prices were reasonable and the atmosphere lively.

It was a swift visit to pick up a lite bite for lunch on the go. I had a standard cornish pasty and the spouse a cream tea. The pasty was as nice as any other I have had. Big pieces of the veg content to compliment the meat. You can't make much of a mess of a cream tea but you can make it more memorable. This was with a great scone to complement the little pot of great tasting jam and the clotted cream. Great range of other offerings. Will be happy to make a detour to try other options.

My boyfriend and I visited Lynmouth & Lynton and followed the Watersmeet trail to Lynmouth and searched up & down the high street for somewhere to have lunch. We were exploring the area on our way home from staying in Bude visiting family, on our way back to Essex! We saw the bake house cafe and the meal deal sounded right up our street- a pasty AND a cream tea, which was great value for money and exactly what we wanted! We saw a sign saying takeaway only and asked if we could still do the meal deal, the young girl explained it would be difficult as she'd run out of containers for the scones, she offered us plates if we promised to bring them back! However, she had a change of heart and allowed us to have a table at the back, where we could eat our food with ease. She even put the radio on for us and served us with a huge smile. She made our day in Lynmouth that much more interesting and pleasant, and showed us true cornish hospitality! Thank you very much to that young lady, my boyfriend and I were very grateful for such a wonderful lunch after such a long walk!! It was a little harder walking back with such full tummys though!

We stopped by for some lunch and the food was lovely. We had a pasty each and they were delicious - I personally went for the veggie option and it tasted great. I would recommend taking away if you can as it is cheaper. They also sell lots of fudge which is also delicious!!
