Norwich Branch: My first time going to the Cornish Bakery, the Shakshuka Croissant was lovely and so was the coffee (latte). However, I found the customer service let my experience down. Queued at 8:3... See more

The food and service were outstanding.
The fruit pastie and fruit scone, delicious.
Nothing too much trouble. Even pouring cream for the pastie. Not on the menu, however when custard was requested, cream was offered as an available alternative option.
Great place to take the weight off for afternoon tea. Gloucester Quays
Overpriced for a dry pasty
Overpriced for a dry pasty. Always chaotic service and have to wait ages. Staff are friendly though even though they run like headless chickens. Coffee very good.
The best coffee shop in Dorchester
The best coffee shop in Dorchester. Mike and the team always are very welcoming and deliver a great service every time. Lovely cakes and pastries too. Wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else for coffee!
Norwich cleanliness issue
Visited Norwich branch for first time. Staff seemed friendly, but didn't look very happy, coffee overpriced and bitter. Ordered black americano and a mocha.
Worst was the state of the shop. Were there about 45 minutes at mid afternoon and at no time were any tables wiped down. Had to do this ourselves. Floors hadn't been swept and were sticky. Wasn't so busy that these things couldn't be done. Crumbs were built up on the floor around the edges of the counters and furniture.
Bathroom had standing water under dryer and sink.
People seemed to be enjoying the food, but won't be attending again.

Ordered online 8 large Frozen traditional pasties on Feb 5th. 2024
Arrived 2 days later in packaging I would only describe as a work of art. All 8 were still froze solid so straight into the home freezer.
Cooked my first one the following day..Wow it really took me back to my MUCH younger days when holidays in Devon & Cornwall were a regular treat. The traditional pasty was fabulous and VERY filling, no need for any extras on the plate. Cooking time was about 1hr ish ( until a lovely brown crust
had appeared. For me these are a real treat and they will last at least 3 months in the freezer. Looking forward to Tomorrow!
Thanks guys..

Just visited Stamford branch at 16.30 and told no hot drinks or sit in service as they had switched everything off and done the last pot wash. Questioned why as they shut at 17.00 and just told sorry there’s nothing they can do. Absolutely disgusting!!! Chairs and tables also packed away.
Delicious!
Delicious pastries and the best cornish pudding ever. Food always fresh and tasty with good selection. I would definitely recommend :)

Incredibly overpriced on just about everything. Seems to be geared up more so for visitors. They also refuse to take cash, on the written note near the tills it states that it's takes longer using cash yet I've seen their excuses of distance to banks within these poor ratings. Well most other small businesses manage to still use cash! Will not use again.

One of the most racist experiences ever
The pastries were not that bad but the service overall was horrendous. One of the staff simply ignored me and gave me a dirty look due to my skin colour.
