Waited there about 2 minutes to buy sweets while the lovely lady was handling some family. When I wanted to pay she said there is no need to pay just for waiting that. On top of that best sweets all week I stayed in Cornwall. The only way to repay in a way is giving 5 stars, but deserved for the sweetness of both staff and products. All the best.

Tried my first saffron bun here, authentic old school bakery feel.

I am not a fan of frontline cafes and shops as I normally believe they overprice and on top of that they sell more quantity than quality, so I normally visit an entire village before I buy anything...
This bakery is on the back street, please go there, what a lovely host: what made me go in was the eclairs on display...pretty irregularly shaped and the chocolate on top of them was was falling to one side because it was not in straight line...THE BEST INDICATION THAT THEY ARE NOT MADE BY A MACHINE!!! A HUMAN MADE THEM ONE BY ONE...and guess what...probably the best eclairs I've ever eaten. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME EAT YOUR ECLAIRS.

I have been visiting st Ives and the cornish Rivera for over 40 years and I have taisted pasties from many places but they never come close to theas, just the best, every time no competition 😊😊😋😋😍😍

Really good saffron Chelsea buns, and my daughter loves their chocolate muffins! The lady was very patient with my daughter who likes to help place our order but clams up in the moment.

Stunning old school bakery. Biggest pasty in St Ives and one of the tastiest. Sweet products also very good. We visit every time we go down.

Purchased a brownie, bread pudding and classic sausage roll. Remember Cash only and a wonderful variety to choose from.

Before he was famous, the singer Donovan was sleeping rough in St Ives and he'd cadge day-old saffron cakes from here. The song Mellow Yellow refers to that - I've posted a photo of him with one outside the shop where he was telling the story.

Bought the tastiest Cornish cream tea for two here today. It’s the lightest scone I’ve ever had. Shame I am going home tomorrow and not near St.Ives to pick another up to take home. It’s also the cutest bakers I’ve seen. Better than any chain
