The Cornish Bakery in St Edmundsbury

Watched them make and bake Cornish pasties. Served fresh and very warm.

I recently visited this lovely bakery. The staff were friendly, and they offered a great variety of food. I particularly enjoyed their mocha, which was very nice.

Having been disappointed with the service at Pilgrim’s kitchen we settled for the cornish bakery. Very busy as it was lunchtime, but we managed to get a table for four. Lots of dirty dishes on most tables but they were soon cleared away and the staff seemed to be working well as a team. Food was delicious and hot and atmosphere was chatty and friendly. Would recommend the pasty, very filling.

Easily the best place for a coffee and a small bite to eat in Bury. We’ve visited multiple times and we’re always very impressed. Plenty of room for our pram too. Staff are great, food selection is by far the best in town; far superior to any other coffee shop.

Cool place, nice pastries, coffee was great and Karine was fantastic and she knows how to make a coffee!

Great coffee and baked goods with lovely and helpful staff! Love it!!

Lovely bakery located in an amazing spot with a range of delicious goodies and attentive staff that are always friendly and willing to help! Definitely recommend to anyone who has not been and has been interested to go here

Very impressed ,service was very good . Staff very kind and helpful and polite.

Lovely place for a coffee & chat with friends & family. Always Lovely latte & scones.

Cash only despite no signs stating this, queued for 10 minutes to find out, massive waste of time.

Coffee is pretty bland and flavourless, could be hotter too. Cashless business which is always a minus.

Only had a hot chocolate. Female staff handling croissants & then putting them into display cabinets - gloves would be appropriate.

Good selection of fresh made cakes and pastry we loved the sausage rolls !! Will be back as tea served in china. Staff friendly and helpful.Ps: it does get very busy.

Delicious pastries and good coffee. Gets crowded and layout is a little tight.

Great food and coffee. Good prices and friendly staff

lovely food and great service, harriet was very helpful!

Food and drink were OK I quess. Possibly a little bit pretentious. 🤔

Very friendly staff and lovely food! Would highly recommend.

Girl with red hair serving coffee and drinks extremely rude. Slammed my coffee on the worktop and left a carton of milk by it and said “anything else” in a curt manner then gave me a stern look. Not impressed!

Came in for a coffee and some cake with friends it was delicious, would totally recommend

great food, as well as friendly and welcoming service !! Would recommend :)))

Popped in for a quick bite, did not disappoint :) great service and great food.

The food is lovely, although the restaurant is very noisy and the girl who attended us, it looked like she didn't want to be there. She wasn't rude or impolite, but not the usual chatty, smiley face that you see in other places.

What a delight the Cornish Bakery is! Lovely and delectable pastries accompanied by caring and intricate service! I will return without a doubt

Excellent service, the coffee is outstanding. Lovely place

Staff were so welcoming and friendly, had a great iced coffee! Got me through the summer!

Great food and coffee and lovely atmosphere! The staff are always lovely.

Lovely pastry and coffee with really good friendly service.

Amazing coffee - 10/10 everytime. Love it so much I buy the Union coffee beans at least once a month 😁

Coffee was pretty lit if you ask me; Dad seems to love it more than me - he buys roughly 2 bags per month! 20/10, would buy multiple lattes everyday if I had the funds!

On appearance, it looks lovely with its selection of pastries and pasties. What's served isn't impressive. The pastry looked squashed and obviously been caught in the oven, very sorry looking. The coffee was very watery and flavourless. I left feeling very underwhelmed and wish I'd gone to a generic chain.

Great place with good selection of food Food was served punctually. Was very good Not just Cornish Pasties they do rolls and cakes Clean and well presented Staff were very polite

Really yummy food and lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back for great coffee and more treats 😊

Really nice traditional pasties and sausage rolls

Friendly staff, good coffee and probably best pasties in town

Unbelievable food, pasty absolutely slapped and the coffee was excellent. A huge number of options all of which are delicious!

Great coffee and great pastries at reasonable prices. Good value for what you get.

Nice food .helpful staff and great service 👍

We are so grateful for the help given to my somewhat frail husband who had trouble to get from sitting to standing in the cafe today after we had enjoyed coffee and pastries. My husband struggled to stand up and we were so grateful to a member of staff who came over to us and put great strength into lifting my husband to his feet . The young gentleman also considered alternative seating next time we visit the cafe and we will try his suggestion.

Lovely atmosphere with amazing coffee. Absolutely LOVED Jen’s coffee art. Would definitely recommend 🫶

Lovely place with a lot to choose from . We were travelling around enjoying the surrounding and the town, saw your place with such tempting display and we could not miss it. Absolutely loved our croissants and coffee, the atmosphere was so warm that we didn’t want to leave. We definitely will be back for more 😋😊😊😊

A really lovely new coffee shop , all food home made, yes bit pricey but delicious, and now get free coffee on a reward card, always nice and clean , we choose to go there now rather than our usual Costa Coffee. Well worth a visit great place.

Lovely friendly staff, clean front of house area, perfect americano with a pastel de nata, as good as I've had in Spain!!

Good choice and quality. Service slow with increasing queue

Pasties not much filling very disappointing

Lovely staff and the Cornish pudding is lush x

2nd annual visit to the Cornish Bakery and still as amazing as their opening week! Bring on my next trip to Bury!

Really enjoyed my time at the cornish bakery in Bury st edmunds, Very kind staff, nice atmosphere and great food. Would recommend :)

Great atmosphere and customer service; perfect place to take the family.Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks, will come again.

Great bakery. Enjoyed the food and great service, will come again!

Great Place to go, friendly service and good food :)

Great pastys nice environment, nice selections available plus cakes Recommend the pastys

Nice place to sit and watch the world go by. Counter service only, which was a bit slow. Food and drink on a par with similar establishments. Main criticism is that they don't take cash - think about your older customers please, @CornishBakery

After 5 there is a discount on baked goods. We took it for a picnic in the park, it was delicious

We paid just over £14 for 2 cloudy lemonades, a small piece of carrot cake and a doughnut (advertised as a bronut). The lemonade appeared to be just syrup with fizzy water and half full glasses. The carrot cake was ok but nothing outstanding and the doughnut was nowhere near the quality compared to the price paid. A tiny portion of filling and the rest just bread. Far too expensive for what you get.

Liked it. Nice ambiance, clean with good selection of snacks and cakes.

Extremely clean and tidy with friendly staff and comfortable seating. Coffee and cakes very good and sensible prices.

New addition to Bury St Edmunds. Quite spacious and light. Accostics were a little disappointing and loud. Strawberry milkshake actually tasted of Strawberry 🍓. The cloudy lemonade was lovely. We had a cinnamon bun, cornish pudding (like bread pudding), and pain aux raisin. All fresh.

First visit, good selection of cakes, from modest size cinnamon buns to traditional pain aux raison and cornish puddings. Drinks available were fairly varied and custom-made Acoustics were not so good with ambient levels too high, as the soundproofing of the old style department store is sorely lacking. I might avoid on busy days

The best coffee in town by far. All the food is incredible too and baked freshly in store. The staff are so so helpful when I visit on my own with my newborn, bringing my order to the table when I’ve got my hands full and offering water when I’m feeding.

Love it here!! Grab my morning coffee that always comes with cute latte art and tastes amazing.Jen always has a smile on her face and brightens up my morning <3

Amazing place. My favourite. Tho staff immature and little manners sometimes

Popped in for a mocha - not the best I have ever had but still decent. The smells from this place were absolutely incredible and the food looked really nice. Plenty of seating, music at a good level, facilities were clean, staff were nice!

First time visit this afternoon, just after 2:30pm. Judging by other reviews about friendly staff, we must have visited on a bad day. Unsure how things work, we waited in vain for a few minutes but were not acknowledged. Despite nobody ahead of us and a staff member behind the counter appearing to be unoccupied. Earl Grey and pain au raisin for two at £11.70. Both good quality. The really should have blinds on the outer windows to half draw. When the sun is out and the only choice is the window seats, it is like sitting in a greenhouse - not nice. We left early, abandoning any thought of buying another drink or anything. Not we would return.

It's really lovely and the food is excellent but tables are often a mess, the staff need to clear down more often.

We had the veggie options . Absolutely delicious

The best pastries in town! I love going here every Sunday for a pasty and pastel de nata, they're great! :)

A very good place to go with speedy and nice service. The food is really good. I love the cherry almond croissant it is my favourite.

Really nice coffee, pastry was lovely and a really nice space to work or relax

Lovely place to eat service was amazing, Harriet was a delight, very attentive and helpful. The best pasty in bury :)

The normal and raspberry croissants were great and my dad thought his coffee and sausage roll were good too. I liked the fancy water toooo!!!! Overall Great place for a meal with family or friends. From Kyle. G 13yo

Favourite place in Bury St Edmunds. Staff is so lovely and the food and coffee is just as good!

We had a little tea break and a pasty... It was delicious.. perfect place to sit and people watch

Real good experience with family would recommend

Ridiculous prices - and miserable staff.

Very good, will be coming back again! Great food at great prices!

Wonderful service. Joel was very kind and helped me when my card didnt work. Food was amazing I highly recommend the hot savoury croissants!

The staff are always amazingly helpful, so chatty and friendly and the fresh food is always top tier

Lovely cosy café! Great selection of savoury pastries/pasties and lots of window seats to watch the world go by

Though they looked understaffed the guy who served me was wonderful. I think he had a mullet. Anyway he was so helpful! I’ll definitely be back again, the staff are so friendly

Great place. Excellent service and very helpful and friendly staff

Nice enough place to grab tasty pasty snack / lunch and a drink. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon.

Tried a chicken bacon toasties, it was ok, but i tried it.

Amazing coffee, great service and lovely staff. Always helpful, pasties baked to perfection!

I love this place, food is alwa6s good

Delicious bakery, I love going here for some nice treats

Really good food service was great

Both Service and food were great

Great cafe/ bakery with fab homemade pasties. It not only does tasty traditional Cornish pasties but also quirky veg options like cauliflower and coriander. Yum.

The cappuccino is ok but expensive. To charge £1.40 for an extra shot is excessive. The chocolate cake was ok. We overheard the discussion between the customer in front of us and a member of staff. It shows how this company sees it's customers. The customers had bought two pasties and drinks. The bill came to almost £20 and he paid. He then asked for a tomato ketchup sachet. He was told that he had to pay extra for that sachet. I don't know what other customers would think if they had heard that but I won't be visiting Cornish Bakery again.

Generally all good. Good location

A busy spot brimming with pasties and queues for pasties. While the sweet pastries were good, not great, the pasties rightly stole the show. Of the 4 I tried, the best was the Beef & Chipotle (too many tame fillings within the most robust of jackets in my opinion). Service was confused. I could sense rage within the queue for hot drinks, which couldn't keep up with the pasties being dashed into paper bags. 15 minute wait for a cappuccino. Others in the queue waited a similar amount of time. The Christmas spirit softened the blow, fortunately.

FINALLY SOME GOOD COFFEE IN BURY ✨ tried Edmundos, John’s, Wright’s and this is the best so far by a mile - thank you! My only critique is that it was perhaps a touch too hot, but it was very rich & flavourful nonetheless!

It wasn't my first visit and every time it is as good as the first one 😊 great coffee and tasty croissants in a nice place, made feel welcome by everyone ☺️ good start to a new day

Really disappointed that when I found a large piece of paper towel cooked into my food the staff were apologetic but not concerned about how it might affect someone wanting to eat anything there again. What's it worth to them? The cost of the item apparently, and not a penny more. I would want to make sure anyone that had had that experience left the shop properly compensated and happy. I left hungry and slightly sick. An odd experience.

Coffee lovely - cheese scone served cold and butter much too hard to spread so ended up with a pile of crumbs on my plate which I could not eat sadly- maybe offer to warm scone when ordering !

I might work here but this looks the best place ever.

Overwarmed pasty, rock hard, tables not cleaned, dirty toilet and not enough staff, clearly the problem for most of the above. Will not return.

This photo was taken mere seconds before the packet of brown sauce exploded under the merest hint of pressure from my clumsy hands, coating the pasty, the table, my phone and anybody else who happened to be in a nuclear blast zone range of Bury St Edmunds. On the plus side, the staff were brilliant at helping get me cleaned up, the pasty was delicious (if a little brown saucy) and the hot chocolate very nice indeed. Go on. Treat yourself. Just go easy on the sauce...

Great place to watch the world go by, study or meet. Food is what I call proper pastry!
