The Cornish Bakery in Braintree

Brilliant food and excellent coffee. Fresh and very affordable. Staff were very helpful and polite. Will definitely use this bakery again. Very pleased with the cleanliness of the premises, the food and the helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Absolutely! Amazing service Thank you ☺️☺️☺️. Customer approach 10out of 10. Food prepared with care. But the coffee is out of this world 🌍.

I visited the bakery this morning with my sister to get a cup of coffee and some breakfast. The coffee was exceptional and I particularly enjoyed the bronut. The staff were very attentive and quick to clear tables for us. Will definitely be back in the future!

Excellent service , delicious food . Amazing Coffe :) ☆ The best pastry I ever had , top class coffee and very quick service.

Had traditional pasty and latte! Coffee is amazing. They also have a great selection of delicious-looking pastries. Will definitely come back. The staff is lovely. Thank You

Lovely coffee and croissant this morning and great pasty for lunch. Would definitely recommend a visit during your shopping trip at Freeport.

Lovely place to take a recovery break after the whole day around especially when the weather is not so good 😊 we been met by a very friendly team with delicious hot chocolate for my daughter and a coffee for me . We will definitely be back 😀

Great coffee and delicious pastries.. We love the almond croissant!! The staff is lovely and welcomed us with a smile. Thank you

Amazing place . Amazing staff . much better than Costa !!!! the best food and coffee I've ever had. we will definitely be back ❤️❤️

Excellent customer service, very friendly and delicious sausage roll! Would definitely go back again to try more of their pasties and cakes

This was a takeaway service. The counter staff seemed a little fed up and had difficulty coping with customers who looked different from the overriding demographic.

We are fans of this franchise, seeking them out wherever we go, since they serve, in our opinion at least, really good examples of Cornish pasties, with moist, firm pastry and a range of traditional and more imaginative fillings, with the pasties packed full. This time we also bought a couple of pasties to take away and have the following day. It would have been good to be able to buy the takeout pasties cold, rather than warm, as then we were reheating them yet again to eat. Just a thought. My other half was feeling hungry so had an extra large traditional pasty, lots of meat, potato and swede (the magic, authentic ingredient) and I went for Bacon, Leek and Cheese - creamy, unctuous, with just the right amount of seasoning. For home eating we tried the Chicken Tikka and the Spiced Cauliflower - and they do heat up well (wrap tightly in foil and be sure to put them in a pre-heated oven at around 175 c for no more than 15-20 minutes). These are substantial pasties, serving their original purpose of being a complete meal in a single portion, hold it in your hand or use the cutlery provided. The environment at Freeport Village is in line with other branches, a variety of seating, well spaced out. Only one general loo though - Ladies, Gents, Baby changing and Disabled access all in one. Well worth a visit. One day we might just summon up the appetite to try the cakes and pastries.

Not a great experience very poor gluten free selection, staff were unfriendly and coffee cold will not return. Allowed pets in cafe which in my opinion is not very hygienic.

felt very welcomed and had great lunch here. enjoyed the sausage rolls and freshly brewed coffee. Very nice place to catch up with friends and family

First visit to the Cornish bakery in Freeport. Had pasty/sausage roll. Really lovely with a nice pot of tea. Very cosy and lovely staff. Will definitely return, although the toilets need a bit of a clean.

Great tasting pasty , wish they could serve the coffee quicker. A great place to eat at Freeport Xxxxxxxxxxcccxxxxxxxxcc

I really fancied a Cornish pasty and I really wished I didn’t! I’ve been sick since having it, as it’s laid on my belly a few mins after having it and I can’t stop throwing up. The coffee wasn’t great either….so wished I didn’t have it. It’s put me off so much, I won’t be going back in a hurry to have one

I called in for a 'quick bite' and coffee at lunch time, was served very efficiently by a pleasant young lady, the Cornish pasty and coffee were excellent. Will return whenever I'm in the Village

The pasty was great, amazing coffee, just as i like it! Will be going back for sure. Service always friendly

This is an amazingly efficient and friendly place for a snack or meal when out and about in Braintree Village. As well as the considerable range of pasties and other baked pastries that you see on their web the coffee is excellent. And, getting on a bit in years now, I have tried most of the coffee houses in the area and beyond. If you are rather short of time or don't wish to be away from the shops for too long, I never cease to be amazed at the speed at which the hard working team can clear a line of waiting customers. I am lucky enough to live nearby and able to enjoy a break here fairly often. I highly recommend a vivit.

Tasty fresh food and delicious coffee. Welcoming staff was a lovely addition to our experience. We'll be visiting soon again :)

Excellent sausage rolls. Very, very good coffee and apparently the breakfast tea is pretty good too. Always looks clean and inviting.

Delicious pastries and great coffee. First visit and looked after very well by Ionie. Will definitely come back.

Always come here for coffee when at Freeport! Lovely food, coffee is great and decor is a tiny feeling of Cornwall. Naomi served me today and was really friendly. Recommend!

Quick service. Lovely food. Place was really clean and tidy. Lovely friendly staff. Was served by Naomi who was friendly and efficient

I was served by Naomi excellent customer service as I am profoundly deaf we want to sit outside she carried my tray and was so polite and nice. We had a breakfast tea which I must say was one if the best I have had in ages my husband had a latte and she his was lovely smooth drink. May I say he is sometimes hard to please with coffee. We also had a traditional pastie and a pastry which were both very good. We will definitely return

Quick service and very polite staff. The coffee is superb, and the food is excellent too. I will definitely come back here. The perfect place to drink good coffee and hot chocolate.

This spot it’s great for lunch, busy Saturday but everything was quick and very good service, nice place with good vibes

Lovely place and lovely food!! 😍 I went this place with mu friends to get some snacks, we left cornish bakery with bag full of goodies😊

Sensational restaurant delicious food lovely service all at the highest level recommendable for demanding people.

My experience with them was amazing. Really good food and amazing coffee also great customer service. Will visit them again.

Selected all our food, went to pay with a £20 note. The cash was refused. They do not accept cash. My wife and I left immediately. These businesses I believe are dangerous. Its a slippery slope we are on when we cannot pay anonymously for...

Best flat white that i has in a while, lovely pastry as well. Me and hubby are looking forward to be back soon

Came in for a quick coffee, offend Summer and came back for pasties and Summer was incredibly helpful and happy to see me. Great coffee and pasties.

Awful food and even worse customer service, coffee was burnt and cold, cake was dry and Cornish pasties were Luke warm. Staff couldn’t be bothered and seemed to much trouble serving the public! Would NOT recommend!!

Best coffee I've ever had! Staff are very welcoming. Even when super busy, the staff are very attentive. Would go again soon :)

Anjali was very very friendly and welcoming staff. Was confused to choose pastries she helped us to choose pastries which was yummy. Definitely visiting again.

Visited with my kids on Sunday. We love your fresh pasties and kids love the chocolate twist!!! And the best oat latte! Well done :)

Amazing place . Amazing staff . much better than Costa !!!! the best food and coffee I've ever had. we will definitely be back

Such a lovely place!!! Had a pasty and the best coffee around! Also staff is very friendly ..We will definitely come back!!

Every time we shop at Freeport, cornish bakery is a must stop!! We love your fresh pasties, delicious coffee and the most friendly staff around!!! Thank You!

Visited bakery for a quick breakfast before shopping. Best coffee around and super friendly staff!!!

The best staff in the World ,great coffe and food love this place always back here very recommended 😍

Normally ok staff friendly. This time we stopped for coffee we were told that they were serving take away cups even though there were plenty of china cups on view. The pastries were served on a paper bag. I am one for saving the enviroment...

Went in for lunch today, and we were served by 2 wonderful staff members. They asked us about our day and engaged in conversation rather than just taking our order. The coffee was amazing and although we had to wait for the table, someone quickly...

it's always the best place to go for a short break. special coffee made by iza . impeccable and fast service. time to wait, because it's always busy . but if it is there will be a reason( becose is very nice!!).

Quick service and very polite staff. The coffee is superb, and the food is excellent too. I will definitely come back here. The perfect place to drink good coffee and hot chocolate.

We went last week & queued for ages before being politely served with good coffee. We still can’t believe that this café refuses to accept money, our national currency unlike most other establishments. Most of the other café’s welcome our custom without having to whip...

Although the food is tasty, I found the staff to be indifferent to customer needs to the extent that a dairy free coffee was prepared with full milk - a potential problem for customers with food intolerances.

I love these guys so much! The most wonderful staff, always smiling and talking to me, making me laugh. I work near by and go in for coffee and snacks twice a day! Great prices, delicious sausage rolls and cornish pasties plus plenty more, cakes...

The Cornish Bakery Braintree Village Outlet Shopping Centre, I was very pleased with the service received at this outlet. friendly staff. The food was good and fresh. The coffee was very good

Went today queued for ages, slow service. Refused to take cash. Cornish Bakery will not receive any business from me until they change this, I will not shop at any business that refuses our national currency. Plenty of other places out there that will take...

Great place for a snack, inside and outside seating, good place for people watching. Always seems busy

Was shopping in Braintree Village. Went to eat at the Cornish Bakery. Picked out our food. Went to pay at the till, offered a £20 note, which was refused. Was told they only take cards. Left immediately.

I visited here this afternoon My nephew is very hard to please( food phobia) Dan went above and beyond to help. What an amazing young man! He eventually sorted my nephew out with a roll snd some jam, thank you so much for your patience...

Always best coffee and best shop❤️❤️ always a nice place to eat and drink.!! clean and tidy place. happy to come back again.

A cafe without any tea available. Someone could literally go to a shop and buy some. There's even a specialist tea and coffee shop at Braintree!

Today I visited the cornish bakery while browsing the shops at braintree village. I was greated by a lovely chap (tall with coloured hair) he directed me to his colleague to have my order taken. I really wanted a traditional pasty and the display was...

Really nice place to meet friends for coffee 😊 I had white chocolate to drink and that was the best chocolate which I every had. Amazing service as well

The staff were very pleasant, I was served by two gentlemen who were very welcoming and helpful. My family and I brought some pasties and pastries which were delicious! Would highly recommend if you love your food like me.

Nice coffee and food every time I’m going to Cornish bakery . after shopping it is always nice to come and stop here…❤️❤️…..

Decided to visit the Cornish Bakery for lunch on Saturday. Was served by a lovely lad who was very welcoming. As always the staff were friendly and the food was delicious.

I visited today with my family and witnessed a member of staff be extremely rude towards another family with a disabled child. I tried to speak to the manager but she said she didn’t understand English Appalling service and to be honest pasties we’re awful...

Last week early morning we popped in for a coffee and fruit scones. The bakery had run out of jam for the fruit scones and as a result the service was slow while the staff tried to locate some jam. The staff are always polite,...

exceptional place if you want to have a coffee break 'yummy and fantastic service !!❤️❤️!!!!amazing place ….🥰🥰🥰!! I'll be back soon

We stopped off late in the afternoon on yrh January for a quick snack and drinks. The drinks were hot and the rhubarb pasty and cornish pudding were yummy. However it was obvious that at least half of all inside and outside tables were covered...

Popped into Braintree Cornish Bakery with my friend for lunch. Food was delicious and staff were all friendly and welcoming despite being very busy.

Service was good, staff were friendly but food and cleanliness really let it down. Crumbs and rubbish left everywhere. Pasties were very greasy and salty, left an awful aftertaste. The cloudy lemonade was more like fizzy water. We were told to give it a stir...

what a lovely coffee and chocolate torsade but not matched by the service! a bleached blond tall server looked very grumpy, borderline rude and with an attitude as if he was doing me a favour. fortunately the rest of the staff is lovely and so...

Normally pop in here for a snack. Not sure if its changed hands, the whole place needed a clean. Service and food were all very good.

Really yummy food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They allow dogs too. Will definitely go back.

Outside tables not wiped down between customers. Told TWO members of serving staff that flies were settling on food that was not covered i.e.spanish omelette , cheese scones and other food in the window. No one removed or covered food or did anything to get...

Very clean and very hygiene conscious. Had a flat white, a regular pasty and a Portuguese custard tart it was very busy and very noisy. The music was too loud where I sat. The coffee was absolutely foul..... the girls making it spent do much...

This was the first time that we visited this establishment & weren't disappointed. The service welcoming & quick. The tables & chairs were clean & separated by screens. We enjoyed 2 decaf coffees, a fruit scone & a pan au chocolat. We'll certainly repeat our...

Stopped for quick respite on a shopping trip, we chose pastries and hot drinks and sat in a clean COVID booth, enjoyed our break, didn’t feel rushed out. Friendly staff that place a recommendation if you haven’t visited before.

Very covid aware which made me feel at ease and comfortable. Friendly staff, excellent food and coffee

I went in with my family there was a long queue but the staff crack though it quickly very friendly staff and I had a fantastic grain salad. And my dad had a Thai chicken pastie which was nice and hot. We found it very...

Very COVID aware . Seating areas very well organized . Opted for pork and apple pasty but it wasn’t very tasty and to make matters worse I sent it back because it was A bit cold. Another came out slight improvement but still not hot...

This was the first time I had visited the Cornish Bakery and it will not be the last. It was very clean and properly set up to socially distance under Covid rules. When walking in the you are immediately impressed with the range of products...

Every time time I go to Freeport I buy a couple of these superb beautiful beasts. Why... having been to Cornwall many times they are close, very close and very,very good to to the local treats you get in the local bakeries in the Seth...

Bit strange due to COVID and restrictions on seating. Also took a while to do some table cleaning. But the staff were lovely and the sausage roll and croissant were very nice.

We visited here a few weeks ago for a quick drink stop. This place was perfect! Felt very safe right from walking in, all staff were wearing visors and there are screens up all around dividing the tables so you have your own space. Staff...

Very poor experience here today ,tables uncleared and dirty even after asking staff to clean and them thinking they've done it. No organisation did not feel safe here today real shame as the product is excellent in every other way

Lovely pasties. Popped in while out shopping Cornish pasties were lovely piping hot and tasted great, can’t say the same for the pizza panini’s they were only just warm. Stick to the pasties they are well worth having.

Lovely lunch here on Mon 24th August. We ate lunch here on Monday 24th August. Had originally planned to eat outside but there were a few pesky wasps about. The restaurant inside is quite small but a few tables were marked out of bounds and...

I really enjoyed my visit to the Cornish bakery today, I was greeted by a young chap on the door with a lovely smile, and I was served by two really polite and helpful girls! The food was excellent and I will definitely be returning...

Popped in on the way to get trainers as Costa was shut! Thank god they were! We had the most amazing almond brownie and the two young girls serving were absolutely lovely!! Thanks girl! People - get the brownie!!!!!!!

The premises was exceptionally clean and tidy, with each area being cleaned when customers left. The food was excellent, very fresh and tasty, the small custard tart had a lovely light crisp pastry and deep filling. The staff were friendly and obliging. Will definitely visit...

Beautifully baked Cornish Pastry ... I love the crispy edge on the pastry with such good flavours . Absolutely Yummy !!! Service was good and very good atmosphere . No wonder it was full of customers . Will go there again on my next visit...

This is fairly new to Freeport so as we passed we spotted some lush looking cakes, so upon doing a full circle of Freeport, we went back and grabbed a latte and two cakes, they had some lovely looking salads and pastry’s so will more...

We recently visited Freeport at Braintree and were looking for a bite to eat. The food looked amazing so we decided to go in. I am glad we did as the food was delicious. The restaurant was clean, plenty of social distancing and the staff...
