Stopped in for our first experience of pasties from this establishment.
We purchased 2 x Large Original Cornish Pasties, 1 x Vegetable and 1 x Bacon, Leek & Cheese which was mine. The shop is small and busy, but that’s always a good thing! Sign of good food!
We ordered and I enquired if they take Blue Light Cards. I was told ‘Yes - but only the physical card’. This was quite frustrating as I don’t carry the card - the app issues you with a digital copy that can be verified through the live app service, so there’s no need for a plastic card. I was refused the discount regardless.
Despite this, we took our pasties to the nearby park and tucked in. They were absolutely delicious and piping hot.
I’d definitely return and purchase again.
A lovely place.
Welcomed through the door by the staff, always a good sign.
Had a light lunch.
Brie and Cranberry Brioche, cheese and bacon croissant and a pastel de nata.
All lovely. The pastel de nata was so creamy, one of the best I've ever had.
Took some cheese straws away, they were absolutely fantastic.
Highly recommend this tiny independent in a sea of big corporate coffee shops.
One note, they are very tiny so only a handful of seats and no customer toilet, but forgive them that, they are tiny!
We came by this lovely bakery and cafe by chance and it was a real strike of luck. The staff were simply the warmed and loveliest people (specially Lottie) and the baked goods & coffee shop as expectational. They were also very welcoming to our little puppy, offering some delicious treats and water. Highly recommended popping by you when in York- we will leave full and satisfied and with a smile in your face.

Really lovely, young polite lass working here, pleasant and welcoming. It was busy and popular when I called in with an ongoing stream of customers. Eat in or take out. Range of Cornish pasties and also some yummy bakes, very good range and tasty too. I was tempted by several but plumped for a hefty slab of Cornwall cake, so I'll just have to revisit to try their other treats, awww shucks, quelle chore, ha. This veggie friendly slab contained blueberries, raspberries etc and was good. Cinnamon on my hot chocolate too. Very obliging staff.
Just popped in for a croissant and coffee to take away. Lovely quality bakes, freshly served. Julia who served us was friendly and knowledgeable, we left with a fruit scone as well to eat out during our stay !
We only we into this cafe for coffee which was very nice but only warm I had a cappuccino and my wife had flat black . Her's was hot the pastries looked fantastic but we had only had a full English at the hotel. There were on 3 of us in the cafe / bakers and it wasn't too warm in there ....it was snowing outside and the main door was open because of safety regulations so the shop was cold inside and we were sitting at the back ...The 2 staff were very friendly only the cold made me give this cafe/bakers a lower score.
Omg! Cornish pastries were extremely delicious. I have tasted traditional and onion/cheese one. They are crunchy and also full of generous amount of meat. I wouldn't say no to another one 😊
Also I was like I'm drinking a coffee in any local coffee shop. Their black coffee is definitely over all my expectation although is not their main product
Besides, staff was friendly. Atmosphere is very cozy and music is very enjoyable.
Such a nice place to start your York trip 😉
What a little gem of a coffee shop! Coffee to die for and them gluten free brownies 😋 delish. Super friendly staff!
Came here a couple of weeks ago just for a coffee and cake to rest my feet during our day out.
The coffee was amazing and the staff were lovely.
We had such a nice coffee that we decided to go there for breakfast the next morning. The staff instantly recognised us and made us feel so welcome and valued.
Will definitely be coming here for a coffee for any trip to York in the future!
A must visit ! A wonderful warm welcome with scrumptious sweet and savory pastries, scones and hot drinks.
Came in with my partner. Greeted by Lottie who was lovely, polite and very friendly! Ordered, good atmosphere, Lottie again was polite and smiley! If we were here for longer we would come back again. Thank you Lottie!
Lovely little coffee and pastry shop to eat in and take away. Very reasonable prices and very tasty food. Friendly staff
Visited over the week and Cottie was a sweetheart, very helpful in deciding. Had the potato quiche type slice and vegetable pastry, both wonderful! Highly reccomend, Thank you so much :o)
We had a few take away items from The Cornish Bakery over the last few days and all of the pastries were great, the staff were chatty and friendly but served us quickly and the drinks were great.
Food is amazing. Our server, Lottie, was so lovely, she gives such a positive atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.
Had a lovely breakfast during my stay in York , cute and tiny shop. Excellent staff. I’d definitely visit more of its branches through England .Fair prices as well .
I found the cafe area albeit small to be clean and bright with a nice décor....
The staff were helpful with a fun side to them....
Next time I'm back in York I will definitely visit again...
