Baker Tom's

The awarded bakery is run by Tom Hazzledine who first opened his business in 2007. Tom’s passion for traditional baking and excitement for new flavours has gained him major popularity leading him to have three shops in 2024 and a fleet of vans, delivering bread to businesses across the South West of England.

St Agnes Bakery

Opened in 1905, St Agnes Bakery is one of Cornwall's oldest bakeries, the pastry shop shared: "We are so proud to be one of the oldest bakeries in the country still working from its original site. The joy of baking is deeply rooted in both our own childhood memories and experiences."

The pastry shop aims to bake all their bread, cakes, Cornish pasties and giant sausage rolls using "time-honoured methods, tried and tested recipes and only the highest quality of ingredients," just like their mothers showed.

St Ives Bakery

St Ives Bakery is an independently owned and self-proclaimed unique bakery. The pastry shop has a wide variety of artisan bread including traditional, sourdough, long fermentation bread, focaccia and a range of delicious patisseries.

Da Bara St Mawes Bakery

Da Bara first opened their original site, the IQ café, in November 2019 but then moved into its flagship bakery in Indian Queens at Grampound Road. However, the St Mawes café is the newest of our café locations and opened in May 2021. At this café, they offer Da Bara ice cream which is churned by "talented chefs," as well as fantastic breakfasts and light lunches.

St Mawes Bakery

St Mawes Bakery is a unique pastry shop that even delivers fresh Cornish pasties to your door. According to its flagship website, the bakery shared: "Over the years the shop has sold everything from our own homemade ice cream to cigarettes. You will now find our tasty Cornish pasties, moreish cakes and a nice cup of coffee to wash it down."
