The Cornish Bakery — Restaurant in Gloucester

it was a cold and rainy Saturday and I, like just about everybody else in Gloucester Quays, craved warmth and sustenance. There was a queue into the shop but I was drawn in by the delicious smell of pasties so decided to try The Cornish Bakery.

The staff were all working like crazy, trying to keep up with the demand. I had been going to order a pasty but when it came to my time to order, found myself ordering the goats cheese and chorizo Spanish omelette. I don't know what possessed me when the pies were clearly very fresh and looked so enticing, but it just felt more brunchy. I asked for it to be heated. I also ordered cappuccino and Portuguese custard tart.

By the time I sat down, the omelette was nearly cold. It was kind of ok, but I didn't feel like finishing it, despite being hungry, and have to say it's still repeating on me five hours later, which doesn't seem right. The custard tart tasted nice but had an eyelash in it, which was a bit off-putting. The coffee was disgusting - very bitter (and lukewarm). I do know my coffees, having brewed my own for thirty years or more, so it wasn't that it was too strong; it just had a most unpleasant flavour and I left it after a couple of sips.

So, although this place is clearly popular, I'm afraid I won't be...

I used to be a regular customer at this place, but now I will need to find another cafeteria to sit in and enjoy my coffee. I am extremely disappointed with the behavior of one of the staff members that occurred on Sat, July 8th, around 11 am. The curvy lady with blond hair in a ponytail and glasses was acting very strangely. I felt sorry for the other staff members because she was throwing plates and other items around aggressively, and her vibes were really negative. She may have held a higher position than the rest of the staff, but that doesn't give her the right to behave in such a manner. The whole situation looked really bad, and I don't believe this kind of behavior should be allowed. Other customers seemed to be a bit...

Not bad, popped in during Easter holidays.

A traditional Cornish pasty accompanied by skinny hot chocolate. The pasty wasn't quite seasoned enough for me, not enough pepper, plus not enough swede or turnip for my liking, still not bad. Tried my oqsty with a little briwn sauce for a change, which was nice though it wasn't piping hot; I do like a really hot pasty.

The skinny hot chocolate was good, probably the best that I've had this week.

Five members of staff. Clean tables, no dead cups, trays or plates, so that was good.
