St Mawes Bakery in Cornwall

Sat outside for a quick lunch and had a really nice 'Cheese + Onion Pasty' and an 'Egg + Bacon Slice'. Friendly service and decently priced too. Would certainly recommend to others.

Small shop with selection of baked goods. I'm told the pasties were lovely, but didn't have any vegetable ones left, so can't comment myself.

We approached the St Mawes Bakery and asked them if they would be able to provide some mini Cornish pasties for our wedding day in the evening. We spoke with Oliver who was very friendly and more than happy to help. As expected if you know the St Mawes Bakery, they did not disappoint and there wasn’t a single one left at the end of the night! They were delivered on time, hot and tasted delicious and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much Oliver and team!

Tasteless veg pasty. Its the same as a normal pasty without the meat. No flavour. There was potato. A hint of onion and swede. I also missed the hint. £4. Vegetarians give it a miss.

Working very closely to the bakery I am always so tempted by the lovely freshly baked aromas coming out of the shop. The bakery is extremely popular and a big draw is the wonderful quirkiness and good humour of the staff... It's not often you see anyone leave without a smile on their face! It's reassuring to see how strict they are being with Covid practices with their masks, screens, one, in, one out system. Such a wonderful little family run business who have hearts of gold and do so much for our village.

Best pastie of our trip, and I tried a few! A proper pastie with lots of steak and swede. Always a favourite in St Mawes! They have a few outside tables perfectly positioned for you to enjoy the comings and goings of the harbour.

I am sorry that this is such a negative review which I really should have posted a few years ago but I have to be honest. Having visited St Mawes for a number of recent years we began by purchasing pasties and cakes from the bakery. However, I was always very uncomfortable by the fact that they would handle the unwrapped products by hand and then take money and move on to the next customer. Surely as a business you must be aware of all the germs that are carried and can be transferred on money. I have to confess I cannot recall whether they wore gloves or not but either way there was no change from handling the products to taking the money i.e. either they had gloves on for both or used bare hands for both. This swayed us from buying products from there over the past few years. This year I wanted to have a look to see whether they had changed any of their processes for the better because of Covid. I walked past the shop to see (I think) the owner standing in the doorway, about to serve a customer who was outside. She was not wearing a mask and actually coughed into her hand as I happened to walk by. I was quite appalled. Health and hygiene is massively important when serving food generally never mind in the current climate. Very small changes would make this a better place to buy products from.

Pasties were unfortunately not as nice as last year. A couple of bits of meat and mushy vegetables. Actual pastry was very nice. Had the scone this evening and it wasn't cooked in the middle and it just crumbled. Was looking forward to it 😔

Stopped for pasties for the four of us after a cold windy dog walk. The lady working was welcoming and helpful and the pasties were spot on, hot , tasty and proper traditional style. They were freshly preparing made to order sandwiches for other customers while we were there. Being honest, the place doesn't look.a lot from outside but I would 100% recommend it. Lovely!

During a recent trip to the west country I had a personal quest to eat a pasty a day as I don't often get the chance to have the real thing. The pasty from St Mawes Bakery was the best of my trip, I watched them get delivered hot and had to have one. The pastry was crisp with nice chunks of steak and vegetables and a good amount of seasoning. The seagull next to me was also rather interested too. So if you're ever in the area make sure you grab yourself one of these!
