Cornish Bakery — Restaurant in England

While solace can be found in the soft light and cobbled streets of south Cornwall, life’s rich tapestry often demands that even the most tranquil landscapes are ruptured, and deep chasms are pitted in the pleasantries of the matching sea and sky. Such was my experience at the Cornish bakery. The customer service was akin to spilt ink on my quaint Fowey postcard. From the outside, the bakery is charming; occupying the corner of the street and painted a sweet pastel blue. But as Shakespeare’s Elsinore has taught us, appearance and reality can be vastly different. Like Theseus confronting the Minotaur of the labyrinth, I was greeted with a vicious scowl by the cashier. While initially giving her the benefit of the doubt, her attitude soon surpassed my capacity to be understanding. Indeed her sullen, miserable rudeness befitted that of a sinner on Judgement Day, and this gentle Sunday afternoon in Cornwall held no trace of fire and brimstone. Never before has ordering a simple pasty and coffee resembled a humiliation ritual, but my encounter with this cashier left me feeling belittled, ashamed and humiliated.

All in all a great place with a great team, totally worth a visit (a cracking...

My family, 4 adults and 2 children, have holidayed in Fowey 4 years on the trot. This is the first port of call for a great coffee and pasties or croissant after a 5 hour drive. And the last call before we drive back home. We call in here nearly every day for a coffee and a snack. My favourite pastie is the vegetable one, I’m not a vegetarian, it’s because they are nice and spicey. They serve sausage baps along with bacon baps in the morning till they are sold out. The rest of the meals are always first class. The staff are very friendly, and the premises are always clean. There is extra seating upstairs with one toilet. I thoroughly recommend Cornish Bakery for quick...
