The Cornish Bakery in East Devon

Excellent food and coffee. Staff are very good and friendly. Excellent coffee again today Beth. Sausage roll and Cornish pudding today.

You can not beat "Cornish Bakery ". Best coffee Delicious pastries 🥐 and fabulous team. Where ever we go this is our go too seriously wont regret it !

Called in here whilst I was on holiday and I was self catering so took some sausage rolls away to eat and they were very nice as a treat and fresh - great service

Very friendly staff. The classics are available. Small downside which can improve the property of the sanitary facilities

They are in many places, great pastries.

Brought 5 different cakes/bakes, each one amazing.

A nice spot to stop for a coffee and a bite to eat - lovely comfy sofas. You can sit in the window and people watch whilst taking a break from the shops...

Great coffee and cakes, visited on a Sunday and they were open before 9:00 unlike other coffee shops, also closes at 18:00 on a Sunday in summer unlike my usual coffee shop. What I thought was an almond croissant turned to be a cherry and almond croissant, which was very nice…

Hands down the best vegan pasties and vegan croissants we've ever had. They had two vegan flavours, so we had one of each and the pastry was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. The raspberry vegan croissant was amazing. The member of staff who served us was really nice and friendly. We visited on holiday, so very sad we haven't got one in our home town!

Everything here tastes fantastic! I highly recommend a visit, the atmosphere is nice and chilled and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The tea/coffee is delicious and they have the nicest pastry I have ever tasted. We have eaten here wherever possible for both sweet and savoury.

Fast service and very kind patient staff. 6 of us ordering must be a head ache but was a breeze. Prices were great and food was lovely and hot delicious too. Thanks.

The best scone with jam & clotted cream I’ve ever eaten

Surly staff and an extremely smug and discriminatory sign saying you can’t pay cash. This is a bit much for a town so inhabited by the elderly and it really put off my grandparents. A shame as the coffee was very good.

looking for a great coffee and eats this is the place. good, well presented food, coffee served at right temperture and to the size I asked for. lovely lady behind counter who made my coffee who made polite conversation whislt she made my coffee. makes a change to some of the places you visit in town. would certainly go their again.

Really disappointed.... I was queuing by the till and I got completely over looked!!!! Eventually being served was then told "card only payment" not very friendly staff (young girl serving the coffee did have a smile and pleasent nature)

Average seaside cafe nothing of note. Staff didn't seem to know much about the food on offer - perhaps they were recent recruits?

Delicious coffee and croissants. Welcoming owner. Plenty of seating. Very well patronised when we were there. My less mobile friend had some difficulty in negotiating the steps.

Just two pasties available at 1pm lunchtime rush with a 30 min wait for new ones. Returned later and pasty was exceptional

Average food for the price, drinks were OK. The staff were not welcoming and not good that you have to pay by card, I prefer to have a choice as I wanted to pay by cash. To top it off there was no toilet roll in the toilet. Overall just disappointing. Won't be visiting again.

Was nice enough, some of the tables are quite high if sitting on the armchairs

Don't bother How desperate do they have to get to show them up They are posting fake reviews to make themselves look amazing. All the staff are rude disrespectful & don't care

Ignore the post below by Mary Edwards, I believe she is the disgruntled former manager. Lovely people, hardworking staff and over all really good coffee.

Lovely place to visit, staff are super friendly and delicious coffee. Will definitely be coming in 5-6 days a week. Was served by Beth and Issy. Lovely and friendly.

Food was okay and the sausage roll was nice. Cornish pasty was okay but not the best I have had. My only complaint was one poor girl serving which she was struggling to cope with during the lunch time rush. The window has a number of dirty plates that customers had stacked up because staff were not cleaning up. And yes there was more than one staff present.

They serve finest and delicious pastries. Loved it

Distinctly average pasties at fairly high prices. The staff were friendly and everything was well presented but the pasties and cakes were underwhelming with pastry somewhat akin to cardboard in the case of the chipotle beef pasty. I wouldn't rush back that's for certain.

Very slow service. I think the staff were tired..no durprise middle of Sunday afternoon. Coffee good but disappointing experience

Apart from very nice pastries and pies, if you want to see how to operate a safe environment during COVID take a look in here. Well done Cornish Bakery.

Great croissants. Great coffee. Great pasties. Friendly staff. 👍 Could do with being slightly more thoroughly cleaned though.

Great little place full of delicious baked goods and tasty coffee!

Great place wonderful staff 👏 shame not very Christmasy though some staff made an effort to dress up.will be back many thanks

Very nice and kind staff. They were always happy to help

Beautifully decorated welcoming cafe with a large choice of delicious pastries. Highly recommend. Also good service.

Nice location , Terrible Service , Order at the counter then go back up for drinks and food .The staff are rude and Shout at you too collect your order . The one member of staff didnt not what a cream tea was !!!!!! ITS DEVON , wouldnt go back. Avoid at all costs .

Very clean and presentable establishment. Was created by a lovely lady, I believe her name was petra. Very friendly and efficient. Made me feel very welcome. The butter croissant was delicious 😋 would definitely recommend to friends and family for a visit

Visit this place almost every morning for coffee. Just want to give a shout out for Lee. Always great service from him, very switched on young man, great customer care skills, efficient and makes a great cappucino!!

Reason for stars is that the atmosphere plummeted when I went to pay- they would not accept legal tender-CASH. Service was acceptable but not perfect. Just a pasty- I’ve had better and just fed up with the since “Covid” excuse for not taking my hard earned currency. I’m local as in I live in Seaton- this Card Only mentality from retailers need to stop- it’s a travesty. My cash should be welcomed not shunned- Utterly ridiculous. it’s quite embarrassing as I didn’t have my card-and had to turn to my partner to pay which deafeated the object of me offering to pay. Last time in this establishment and other unfriendly “Cashless” places for me .

I like to call in to this bakery at least once a week as really enjoy their tasty cakes/snacks. Just love the raspberry and almond croissants but so many other delights to chose from. Served by Nathan ,who is always so friendly and helpful.

Would of given it more. But they were over busy. Given that they coped very well.👍👍

Made the mistake of visiting this establishment during the busy Sidmouth air show. Hurried inside with the family and ordered. If I had known it was one of those snobby elitist 'cashless' cafes I would have steered well clear. I cannot stand a "you can only eat here if you have a debit card" attitude. Especially if you are selling low end pasties, beverages and pastries. Will never buy from these people while they refuse to take cash.

I visited Sidmouth a couple of weeks ago and would like to thank the staff for their great service. They were friendly and helpful and the ground coffee they kindly gave me for my son to try was delicious and much appreciated. I would highly recommend calling in.

Lovely little cafe. Very clean and all staff very friendly.

The coffee is amazing & staff very friendly & lovely air conditioned cafe a lovely place to sit & watch the world go by

We bought 2 traditional pasties. They were the BEST pasty we've ever eaten. Can I buy them to be posted to me.

Best coffee in Sidmouth Very tasty pasties and. Sausage rolls

Lovely spot, really busy at lunchtime so get there early!

We have visited this Cornish Bakery for numerous years. We visited 21st August and we can not believe how standard have fallen. The young lady who took my order could not understand what l was asking. Then the man making the drink was totally unorganized and so slow Then to add insult to injury no toilet paper in the single loo. Although l heard several people report it. Will not be back again to this branch.

The Cornish Bakery is a wonderful environment to get some work done, which is always accompanied by some lovely pastries and/or their delicious pasties. Jed and Nathan are the two stars of the place. They always greet one with a beaming smile, are always ready to help, and make one's day better by engaging in conversation. The atmosphere they create is truly one of the reasons why I set foot there. It really is the perfect place to stop by in Sidmouth.

Visited today, the first time at this branch, I am new to the area and based on my excellent experience today, I will most definitely be returning. Served by Charlotte, who was attentive and friendly from the get go, I was extremely impressed by how expertly she handled my order, which due to the sheer amount of food and drinks and the variety of items involved (as we were quite a large group), I was most impressed that she got everything expertly right and it was very much service with charm, patience (as we changed our minds a few times!) and most definitely a smile, a credit to the company! The branch itself is bright, modern and airy and my friend commented on how clean the facilities were which is always a good sign in an establishment. Well done Cornish Bakery as always, great staff, and a fantastic atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing! I had a delicious traditional pasty and my husband had a Vegetable pasty. We both really enjoyed are lunch and someone who I think was called Pheobe served us and she was really friendly and we had a lovely chat about archaeology which I loved (being an archaeologist myself). We will definitely be back again!

Popped in with a friend from London on Mon as we both fancied a pasty. They would not accept cash. It was gone 2pm and we were starving so gave in and paid cash. Meat in the pasties was a bit grisly meat. A flat white coffee was more like a frothy espresso. Would never go there again.

The coffee was very good not over roasted. The cornish pastry cauliflower and onion bhaji was better than from an Indian takeaway or restaurant. Not too salty just perfect. Sadly returning to London.

Came in, not knowing what to buy, but the staff member serving me (Jed?) suggested a cherry and almond croissant. Never had one before, but have been back multiple times since! Also, the milkshakes are very good. Thanks Lee.

Great coffee, hot tasty pasties served with a smile Will be back next time I visit.

I am a regular visitor for the coffee and pastries which are always freshly baked. Shout out to Suzanna and Abbey in particular!

This became our go-to placr for a light breakfast or a takeaway lunch. Fine pastries and pasties: excellent coffee.

A lovely selection of fresh pastries every morning which never disappoint, really great coffee and friendly staff! All you could ask for

Huge array of fresh pastries. Had a few throughout the week, can not praise the team enough for their friendly service under pressure, I have to add one of the best coffees I've had.

First visit, very pleasant will definitely visit again when in the area.

Awesome best coffee in the south west. Big thanks to Suzanna for the recommendations First time here but definably not last

Friendly customer service and lovely Portuguese tarts.

Pasties ok, coffee ok, coffee service VERY slow

We've found another one, we always look out for a Cornish bakery where ever we go, coffee is great food is amazing staff are fabulous it's a must visit,

Service with a smile great coffee lovely staff

Excellent air conditioned and bright place to come work in Sidmouth. Top notch coffee . Highly recommended place to come whenever i'm looking for somewhere for a change of scene.

Coffee wasn't particularly wonderful and my sister ended up with breakfast tea instead of the Earl Grey she ordered, but the cherry and almond croissant made up for it!

Lovely coffee and great service! The server making the coffee couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.

Lovely seating areas. Nice strong but flavoursome coffee just as we like it, good selection of pastries what's not to like, highly recommend.

10/10 would go again! Loved the coffee and the staff were so lovely especially the lady at the coffee machine who had amazing latte art.

We bought two Cornish Pastys for our tea what a horrible choice. The pastry was so lardy dry and bland, the filling was seasond but the lack of meat or any other filling was ridiculous. Even the dogs wouldn't eat it. Give it a miss

Had a delicious coffee and served by very friendly staff will definitely return my husband had a scone which was made on the premises looked amazing

Friendly staff and excellent service and product's. Called in for a hot drink and a savoury,Many thanks Keith & Dawn.

The Cornish Bakery is one of my favourite coffee shop in Sidmouth. The service is excellent. The only thing I don’t like is the tables are not cleared in a timely manner. It is quite off putting to see so many tables with dirty cups...

Really excellent choice of cakes, hot pasties, sausage rolls etc. and coffee's along with great service and comfortable seating in the High Street about 10 mins. walk from the sea front. Reasonable prices and take away coffee and food.

The staff here are super friendly and accommodating. The bakery is situated in town, and is often very busy which speaks volumes itself! Pop in if you're nearby, you won't be disappointed. 🙂
