The Cornish Bakery in Lancaster

I go there twice a day get a sausage roll betta than greggs ! Breakfasts very expensive ! I went for a pie on my way home the said pie was on show on the shelf for sale as normal I was told I I I couldn’t have as someone in the cafe was getting it ! Service awful today ! My last visit ! Plus the steak pies have no steak it’s a pastry DISH of gravy ! Gone down hill a bit !

I’ve visited a few times when I’ve been in Lancaster and wanted something quick for lunch. The pies are brilliant and have always been perfect (especially the steak one)!

We took our family for afternoon tea and it was superb! It was so tasty and fresh, the cakes were amazing too! The service was fantastic and everyone was so lovely and accommodating! We will definitely be back as the cake and pastry’s looked tasty as well!

Fantastic food and even better staff! We all felt so welcome. Plenty of room and a lovely community feeling, whilst being modern.

A year since our last visit and the great news is everything is still 100% spot on. Great food, friendly staff, quick service and a reasonable price . A lot of cafes could learn from the Cornish Bakery on how to look after customers and provide 1st class food. Highly recommended if you are hungry and in Lancaster.

Called in on our way to a Marks and Spencer, fantastic little find. Friendly staff, spotless and hot chocolate that was out of this world. Enjoyed a couple of the wonderful pasties this cafe had on offer.

Myself and a friend arrived at 940am today, and were seated straight away. A drinks order was taken and they arrived very quickly. We ordered big breakfast and avocados& poached egg on toast. The food took a while to arrive however it was very busy. Definitely worth the wait! I couldn’t fault a thing, staff were lovely! We’ll definitely be back!

Went in for a coffee during a day trip to Lancaster. Friendly staff and nice coffee. When i got home realised I had lost an earring, so contacted them. They were so kind and helpful. It wasn't there, but it meant a lot that they searched for it and responded even thought they didn't find it. Thank you x

There for brunch on the 27th and 29th. Lovely food, great value. Good service. Will go when next travelling ro Scotland.

My partner and I are vegan. We sat down and ordered the vegetarian breakfast (no vegan) and asked if the egg could be substituted for more mushrooms on one and an extra hash brown on the other. Was advised they don’t do swaps… at the weekend - because they get busy! Looking around, place only half full. How hard is it to add more mushrooms to one breakfast, that already had mushrooms, and an extra hash brown to the other breakfast, that already had hash browns. In this day and age of businesses going out of business, we walked out and spent our £25 elsewhere. What a pathetic ‘rule’ - no swapping to accommodate. Also, removing one egg from the breakfast would not result in a price reduction! Bad experience - will not return.

We visited a few days ago and whilst it’s a lovely place a few things need addressing. Looking at the reviews I was expecting so much more! The pasties we had were tasteless and the edge was so hard it was best to be left on the plate. The portion of peas is hilarious and the gravy tasteless. I’ve had a pasty in Cornwall and they definitely aren’t like these. No swede and just generally bland! The toastie for a child is a joke. Hardly any cheese and nothing else to make it tasty and appealing. So on to the next thing which left us all surprised in fact I’ve not had it happen before. Two of us hadn’t finished and one of the waiters ( a young Irish lad ) appeared at the table and put the bill on the table and said “are you paying cash or card? ) We all just looked at him and said we hadn’t requested the bill and we weren’t finished. Our child hadn’t finished also! Totally unprofessional and he really needs some more training in customer service and attitude. What I will finish off by saying is that the waitress we dealt with was lovely but I think a staff training course is desperately needed.

We love this place whether it be for a good cooked breakfast or a cornish pasty it won't dissapoint.The service is great,the girls who work there are so nice and the place is nicely decorated and is always clean.The prices are good.It always seems busy with people whether eating in or taking out.We always call in now when we're in Lancaster shopping.The custard slices are delicious by the way.

I stumbled upon the Cornish Bakery whilst walking down Penny street . It was lunchtime so after quickly scanning the board menu, I decided to eat in. I was seated very quickly in a cosy corner and given the menu. Within several minutes, a friendly waitress came over and took my order . I ordered a sparkling water and cheese and onion pie with mushy peas and beetroot. The food arrived much quicker than expected (restaurant was full) and was exceptional . I cut into the pastry, and I was surprised how much cheese and onion filling there was . The pie was delicious and the mushy peas tasted exactly how they should ! Both restaurant and toilets were spotless. Service was excellent and to top it all it was great value for money . Would definitely recommend.

Not the Best I ordered a large Cornish the filling was nice and tasty but pastry was soggy like it was warmed up In a microwave.

Another visit here and pleased to say the service,the staff,the menu, and the prices are just as good as my last visit I am happy to recommend this business to customers who are looking for good food.

Iiam, lucie, fran, chole we so very friendly. The food was especially delightful. Service was very fast. Thanks! for visiting with OKIE's. Give yourself a treat and enjoy the atmosphere.

Recently bought pies from this company on Chorley market and the Gentleman told us they had a cafe too so we visited Lancaster and were pleased we did - I had a breakfast which i really enjoyed - the place is rteally busy but the staff crack on - we were served by a pleasant Spanish lass will for sure return and buy more more of their lovely pies and pasties

Came to the Cornish bakery for breakfast it was fantastic good quality ingredients at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning

Full English breakfast with a capacino Great staff very friendly and attentive Quick service Will come again

I wanted a great little cafe where I could sit in and eat a pie, now that may not seem and unreasonable request but in Lancaster it is nigh on impossible. I had always walked past as I thought that this was part of a chain but I now find out that it isn't and it is one of the great independent businesses of Lancaster. I have enjoyed several lunches and a breakfast in here in recent weeks. Always great value and the staff are brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly recommended!

Loved this place. Looks amazing, foods amazing, staff great ❤️. Emma and team are brilliant knowledgeable, helpful kind. New girl steph seem get flustered and confused but I'm sure she'll get there 😊 she seems lovely

Absolutely awful staff experience. The staff member had no respect and was very threatening and trying to be intimidating. I'm not a big scary guy and I had two toddlers with me.

We had lunch at the café and the quality, presentation and choice is just outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. It's best to reserve a table at lunchtime, as it gets busy.

The worst pie I have ever had. Late lunch - was starving. Ordered the Potatoe and meat pie mushy peas and gravy. I should have photographed it. When I cut into the SOGGY pasty, this mushy mess ran out that was supposed to resemble Potatoe...

Amazing Place. So reasonable in price. Food delicious and service outstanding. The waitress was so attentive to make sure my daughter knew what choices were available. Will definitely be going again and will recommend.

I’ve been here 3 times in last 2 months and it’s clean with a decent enough menu but maybe I’m ordering the wrong thing as I feel a bit let down each time. Staff nice, venue lovely and clean. Prices reasonable. The pie on the...

Day trip to Lancaster, popped in here for a coffee. Enjoyed so went back for lunch. Very good food, friendly and helpful staff. Clean smart establishment. Very reasonably priced. Can get busy so may have wait for a table

Decided to pop in for a Saturday breakfast since they have done up the shop. Must admit was not disappointed! Atmosphere, service and food were all brilliant. Had one large breakfast and a bacon sandwich. Food was all cooked fresh, nicely presented and amazing taste....

Popped in here this morning for breakfast, quite busy which is always a good sign. Hubby had the full English breakfast which for the price is an absolute bargain- beautifully cooked and served with crispy toast. I opted for the Veggie Breakfast Wrap and OMG...

We enjoyed lovely food here. The cheese and mushroom omelette was delicious, as was the cornish pasty. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was very good. A very nice meal indeed. We also had strawberry milkshakes which were very good.

This is one of the best places to eat. Clean, pleasant staff and value for money. Good varied menu. We come on a regular basis and will continue to do so.

What can I say. Excellent surroundings. Friendly staff Great food. Reasonable prices. It's been a while since we were here on holiday and thankfully nothing has changed at the Cornish Bakery. When you have something good you don't need to change. Good food is the...

Lovely place, right in the centre. We both had a sandwich and a coffee for our breakfast - both delicious and very good value for money. They were very busy but served everyone efficiently - great, friendly staff. On the way out we bought some...

By the time I reached the cafe straight from the station, most of the pasties had sold out. But available still was the large classic, which I ordered with gravy. Excellent as always. That and a latte was enough to get going again. First stop...

We went yesterday and had a light lunch. Second visit . First was good and we went back . Second yesterday was even better. Young male server very good , very polite , very good. Young ladies also very good . Great food, great price...

Weekend away with family and stumbled across this wonderful bakery. Children enjoyed hot chocolate and pastries and we had coffee and pasties. 10/10 for food and the manageress Natasha was excellent with our children, talk about service with a smile! Thank you

We were in Lancaster for a couple of days while enroute to Scotland and were recommended to try this place for breakfast by one of the pleasant locals that we had met. We were lucky because the cafe hadn't looked an obvious choice for breakfast...

Last visited in 2019 whilst on hol. So it was nice to revisit. And all I can say is WOW. The whole cafe has changed and is absolutely fantastic. And the great thing is the staff, the food and the service cannot be faulted.

Friendly staff shown to our table it was upstairs (the stairs were a little steep) we were left.a short time to decide what we wanted after ordering we waited about 5min the food was very tasty and fresh (my husband had a large breakfast and...

Visited around 11am for a late breakfast, served with a smile and all the staff seemed genuinely happy to welcome us. Generous menu and quick service, we had a full English and eggs with Avo on toast. Staff were flexible in removing and adding ingredients...

Small cafe in centre of city. Staff lovely and the place serves light meals and snacks. I had the largest Cornish pasty which was lovely.

God awful stodgy pastry all served by a woman with the personality of a cardboard box. Rushed oaps out of their seats when they had finished their drinks and not their meals. Overpriced and rude customer service. The whole place looks like it needs a...

Went in today for a spot if breakfast.. service was top notch friendly and efficient.. food was lovely i do have to say was a little disappointed with the sausages i like a nice meaty fat sausage but at least they were local. Couldn't resist...

We were given a recommendation for this cafe and were not disapprointed. Staying at a nearby Travelodge we went for breakfast here, both chosing the full english, which came with black pudding, mushrooms and hash borwn as well as toast. The food was very reasonable...

The cafe was very clean which we liked and the menu and choice on offer is good. We were a bit shocked by the difference in price between eating in and taking away, over double the price seemed strange to us. Service was fine, food...

Great breakfast and good service so would definitely recommend this place. Nicely designed decor, fresh and clean and everything wiped down between customers. Had the big breakfast and everything was well cooked and decent quality sausages, bacon etc. Some customers at the next table were...

Great offerings. The Cornish pasties are just perfect. I’ll have mine in giant. Good menu for breakfast and lunch or just a coffee and snack. Seating much improved with the cafe expansion. Must always drop in whenever in town.

Really nice little cafe. Pasties and toasties are lovely, tasty and excellent value. Coleslaw was flavourful and nicely balanced too, but the salad garnish needs a dressing (or even just some lemon to squeeze over). Chocolate milkshakes were divine and very reasonably priced for the...

Visited the Cornish bakery regularly for a few years and it's great to see it continually expanding and doing well. The food is great, there is a good selection at very reasonable prices. I've never had a bad meal there and the staff are always...

10/10 breakfast, quickly made and service with a smile. Will definitely be coming back to the Cornish bakery!

I have been a customer of Cornish Bakery for the last 7 years and have always enjoyed eating there or just a cuppa at times. Service has always been of high standard and good quality, Though Disabled access wasn't available then. Since the recent refurbishment,...

Get yourself a menu, hop upstairs and find a table. Decide your meal and go down to the bakery to order. The pasties are outrageously good. There’s small, large and giant. I would go for the giant next time, it was that good. A pasty with some gravy and a nice latte is all you need.

Two of us visit most Saturday dinner times to eat in, never had a bad experience. We have pies and coffee. Sometimes we have to wait for a table but not for long. Ground floor seating struggles for WiFi.

Been here a few times to sit in and take out, the breakfasts are not that good definitely cheap and cheerful, Sausage are like mush and the mushrooms where not cooked. The pies are lovely. The staff make you feel uncomfortable and don’t ever say hello or good bye apart from The young lad in there he is so pleasant and can’t help enough. Definitely there just to make money and not to bothered about the customers. Gutting really because it looks nice from the outside then soon disappointed when you go in.

We holiday in Morecambe 4 times a year, and each time one day is set aside for a visit to Lancaster.We always stop off here for a light breakfast and have never been disappointed.The food selection caters for all needs, it's served fresh, fast, and represents excellent value.The staff are friendly and go out of there way to provide good service.The good reviews speak for themselves.And I honestly believe the odd bad reviews are uncalled for and most probably totally unwarranted.

Not the first time we have been here. Love the food which is reasonably priced. From the outside it looks like a bakers that sells pastries etc. but once inside there are 3 floors of tables and chairs. Great menu with specials board. Good service.

The staff spent more time talking amongst themselves than addressing their customers. I felt very unwelcome and the cheese ham and leek pasty I had was horrible. Felt like a complete waste of money and have no intention of returning.

Popped in with my son for a bite to eat,The cafe at the back was clean and fresh,The staff were lovely, attentive and looked like they enjoyed what they were doing - so important .Had a selection of fresh sandwiches and a pasty, freshly prepared and reasonably priced.Will go back

Dropped grandson off at University, had a few hours to kill. Came across this cafe old style, clean cafe at rear. Just made the breakfast special (b4 11oclock),ordered tea, coffee and 2x bacons & sausage barms. Service was quick, polite & friendly. Everything was perfect, couldn’t fault anything. Very reasonable pricesThanks to the staff keep up the great standards.

WE called in and had breakfast very reasonable price - great staff good service and fresh food delcious just what we wanted - served quickly .. and tasty !

Popped in for a quick bite and chose a meat and potato pie and an egg custard tart. The tart was still warm and was honestly the best thing I’ve ever eaten! I wish I could go back for more but it’s a tad far from New Zealand :)

Visited here after being appalled at the grotty wino-ridden Wetherspoons in Lancaster. Very busy Friday lunchtime but despite that, the service was quick with very friendly staff. Pastie, peas & gravy was tasty and very reasonably priced.

This little Bakery/cafe is about as good as it gets. Comfy tables, a great menu amnd really good value food Top Marks

Went to this cafe for the second time as went last year while on holiday . Food is amazing and really fresh. Very busy but well worth the wait. Staff are very courteous and friendly. Such great value for money. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place, looks small from the outside but plenty of room with tables in the courtyard and upstairs

Really good place with excellent staff. They are all so willing to please.

This place had super friendly service and top quality products for vegetarians. I tried two different vegetarian pasties and one sweet fruit one. They were all fantastic and honestly priced.

First thing is the price, very reasonable I even could go as far as saying its very cheap to eat here and the food is very good. Would definately pop in again next time we visit.

We popped in here for a quick lunch on the way to a meeting. There’s a sweet little seating area at the back of the shop, plus an upstairs area. The service was excellent with extremely attentive staff. Our rolls were fresh and the filling delicious. Very inexpensive too.

Came in here today after being recommended to.Food was delicious and pricing was great , the staff were lovely and the waitress was very polite and welcoming upon our arrival. Would definitely recommend this cafe to those wanting quality food for decent prices.

Best sausage rolls, pies, pasties in Lancaster. So full of flavor and real meat. Always happy to pay to support this business and their amazing food.

Literally had a drive out for the pasties! So, so, good! We ended up buying loads for family as they wanted some too! First time we’ve sat in to eat and has seating over 3 floors, plus a small yard with a few tables. I personally love the lamb and mint pasty, but we also got some steak and ale, cheese and onion, and of course traditional. Friendly staff, great prices, extremely tasty food! Recommend a trip out!

Wow this was lovely, piping hot food and delicious, they have a wide range of items on the menu not just pastys but I would recommend the Pasty. We had spicy vegetable and I took the Apple, sultana and custard one home. This has to be the best place to have lunch whilst shopping. Service is helpful, friendly and

Been a few times and always the staff are polite and efficient , it's only small but does have a few tables upstairs , the pies and pasties are lovely , soup and panini are also nice , will definitely be going again

Nice little place with upstairs seating toilets,home made pastry, friendly staff, clean, hot and cold drinks

4 adults and a child visited here on Saturday (26/10/18) we found a table with enough space for us all. The first thing we noticed is how quirky and delightful the whole place is, we felt as we'd been invited into someones home kitchen!, Perusing the menu took ages as all of us, even the 9 year old felt we were spoiled for choice. The waitresses were lovely and the food even better. It's the first time my Husband has eaten a Cornish Pasty since we left Cornwall and he was very impressed. We all enjoyed our various meals and the value for money. Love it and it will be our Go To Eat place when we go to Lancaster again.

Day out in Lancashire when decided to get something to eat. Saw the Cornish bakery was very busy which is a very good sign. We found a spare table and ordered at the counter. Had full English breakfast which included drink and toast. Was served quite quickly very hot and the food was delicious. Fantastic value for money. We purchased cakes on the way out also. Staff very polite and attentive. Would definitely come here again if in the area.

Popped in here for a breakfast. Small quaint place but on 3 floors so plenty of seating. Staff very friendly. Bacon was a bit salty for me, but personal preference. Service very good. Busy place.

Popped in for tea and cake. Make your choice then order at the counter - don't forget your table number. Choose from a pot of tea or a mug of tea depending on your preference. As there was only five people in the cafe, service was slow but both tea and cake was good when it arrived. Will certainly visit again.

called for breakfast to eat inside this shop front to take away and also a lovely café to eat in and their is another floor all served beautifully staff all very smart same uniform pies and pasties are gorgeous they also do outside catering so very well organised and is a very busy place and i always think that goes to show the food is good

the food is very fresh and tasty we have called a few times for pies and pasties the cakes are very nice

Visited on a rainy day in Lancaster. Ordered 2 pastys with gravy, peas and red cabbage as well as 2 cappucinos. £12.40 on total. Bargain! Very tasty pastys, large sized and full to the brim! Highly recommended.

Highly reccomend it. The place is very cute and the food is great but most of all the people are incredibly kind. We had a problem and they let us store some stuff in their warehouse when we had nowhere else where to leave it, without expecting anything in exchange. Pure kindness.

Such friendly staff and good choice of food on offer,we sat out the back in the sunshine on a day visit to Lancaster. The food was promptly served and very tasty. Recommended

I have frequented this cafe since it first opened with my daughter or on my lunch break. It was always my first choice as the food and staff are excellent and always provide excellent fast service. Unfortunately for the staff the Manager / owner's customer service skills severely let them all down on this occasion. It was to be fair very busy when i last went ( but being from within the hospitality sector myself) i waited patiently for my order which took a lot longer than usual. Food was great as always but when i got to my cappuccino ( which was ordered specifically no choc or cinnamon for health reasons ) it blatantly had cinnamon. I could have lived with this just make me another or refund me !!!! But no the passing KP said he would ask one of the front of house staff to see to my query. The lady that came to see me was aggressive and rude, claimed i was lying and embarrassed me in front of a full cafe, She insisted she made the cappuccino herself ( well sorry to say, if this is the case you need to re do your barista training of which i am happy to pop by and give you some tips as this was the worst looking coffee i have ever received in your establishment ) and no cinnamon was added " It would have had brown spots on top " she said which i pointed out it had 3!!!! so she reverted back to there was no cinnamon in it at all. Her customer service is shocking, in 21 years i have never spoken to a customer the way she spoke to me regardless of how stressful a shift is.

We came across this little bakery/cafe whilst on a quick visit to Lancaster. Cannot recommend it highly enough, we had a fantastic toasted club sandwich with salad and coleslaw and tea and coffee, all for less than £10 for two of us. The food was delicious and the service amazing.

Saw this café and fancied trying the attractive sounding breakfast, what a monumental mistake. Sausages were cold, when replaced very poor quality, eggs over cooked to the point they were like hard boiled eggs, the rest was very mediocre. The only hot items were the baked beans and tea. We were told that the meal was prepared and left until the soup we ordered was ready, 10 minutes the manager said. The only saving grace was my wife's toasted sandwich which she said was fine. The, who I took to be the manager, on our leaving said she had tested the temperature of the sausages and they were o.k. but to leave a meal 10 minuets before serving is not a good idea. All in all we will not be visiting this second rate place again. Stick to what you know "Pies and Pasties"

Having read some of the poor reviews of this cafe, I can't believe that I'm visting the same establishment. It s a great little eaterie hidden behind the pie and pasty shop facade.

Another shopping trip to Primark with family and needed something to eat. Found this place by accident, but our lunch was great. Bacon baguette, egg mayo, bacon and brie with crisps, side salad and fizzy pop! Went down a treat, good size too.....we were all full. Would go back.

A great little restaurant. In fact not so little as it extends to 3 floors. Tasty food at very reasonable prices. Staff very efficient and friendly.

Went in for breakfast on a friends recommendation - hot fresh food quickly presented by pleasant professional staff and very reasonably priced- the seating area is small and you have to order at the counter but 2 big breakfasts ( and they are big) toast and drinks for £11 is great value ! and they do smaller and veggie - excellent! will be going again!

Found this place with my cousin when we were looking for coffee, and cannot wait to return! Lovely breakfast, really reasonable, and we loved the quirky seating with rooms on different floors. I will enjoy bringing my son here so we can hide away and not be overwhelmed with noise/ people.

Located in the main shopping street of Lancaster. Not immediately obvious that it is a café with seating on two floors as well as a pasty and pie shop.

Visited here on a lunch time, all ordered different food and all came around the same time. Big breakfast, brie and cranberry toastie, chicken toastie and pie with peas and all was hot, fresh and lovely.

regular visitor to lancaster,handy base for the lakes,always go to the cornish bakery for breakfast,the standard never drops,staff very friendly,food excellent,and,always piping hot,and the best part,it is cheap,great value for money. highly recommended,enjoy.

I had a very nice light meal here. You have the choice of taking baked items away or eating on three different levels. I sat in the ground floor area which is a little cramped but there was more space upstairs. I tried twice to have the lamb and mint pie but once was out of stock and a second time they were cold and needed time to be heated. What I did have I enjoyed though. Only warning ... the bakery closes at 4 pm to my surprise.

Called in on my own for lunch, the staff very helpful and cheery found my table and then ordered at till. The price was reasonable and the menu selection not bad, service was pretty quick and the place was clean and tidy. I had a club sarnie which was very nice but didn't like it served on a wooden board. Coleslaw was an extra as were the crisps shame really as some places do one or both inclusive. Had a latte which was really good too. Toilets spotless. Well worth a visit

Situated in the middle of busy Lancaster street, the young breezy ladies could not have been more accommodating. Although it was very busy they opened up the wee courtyard at the back of the shop which had a couple of tables set out, it was a lovely suntrap, to enable us to be served.

Just in Lancaster on a day shopping. Love the main street with all the charity shops etc. Have been here a few times before. Pie with mushy peas and gravy is to die for. No where is better. served with a proper pot of tea and lovely service from the staff what more could you want. Well I will tell you - the total bill for 2 of us was £8 something. What a bargain for such a traditional English Lunch. We have eaten all over the World so trust us ignore the negatives this is the place to be! Pie and Pasties at their best. Treat yourself. One last thing and probably the most important the toilets are spotless!

Lovely omelette of bacon and cheese. Tasty pot of tea. Daughter and hubby had great breakfasts and mother in law said lamb pasty was nice. Fruit pasty looked awesome but was too full to eat one. Also serve soya lattes.
