Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Traditional beef pasty was okay, we didn't quite get used to the taste of the vege pasty. The pasties were warm and inviting in the chilly windy weather. We liked the cruffins, especially the apricot (think it was) jam one.

Excellent traditional pasties together with other superb treats like their cruffins, Brownie bars and Rocky Road. An essential stop.

We were led to St Ives Bakery by the reviews on here and it lived up to expectations. The Cruffins, Cinnamon Buns, Pain Au Raisin and Portuguese custard tarts were unbelievably tasty. We will definitely be returning here on our next trip to St Ives....Get there early to beat the queueMore

(Yes, I know Hasty doesn't rhyme with Pasty.) The pasties from St. Ives Bakery cannot be missed. Stay in the queue at lunchtime. It's so worth it! We ordered a Beef and Stilton and a Veg. Both were chock full of deliciousness! We also went...back for breakfast for a Cruffin filled with jam and custard. (Add sound of licking chops here) and the wholemeal bread we took back to the cottage was not only beautiful to look at, but it was devoured with relish.More

Incredible pasties! We ordered a flaky steak and a cheese and vegetable fresh out of the oven. We walked around to Porthkidney beach which took us over 1 hour and a half and the pasties were still warm and flaky by that point! Maybe the...best pasties we’ve ever eaten!More

Stayed for a week in St. Ives and tried the infamous cruffins from St. Ives bakery. They did not disappoint! Large buttery croissant shaped like a muffin with delicious strawberry jam and fresh custard in the center. Need I say anymore. We went back almost...every day for our breakfast cruffin. Delicious!More

Amazing bakery! My friend recommended and it didn’t disappoint! If you’re going to visit a bakery, visit this one! I ordered 2 x pasties and the owner recommended the flaky pastry versions. They had lots of options available. Be prepared to queue as this is...very popularMore

Bought traditional cornish pasties for the family as it was a requirement of our first cornish holiday. We were served quickly. Pastie was the best I've had. Pipeing hot tender beef chunks and soft flavoursome veg in a moreish pastry.

The quality of the food is exceptional and made even more special by the fact that it is a family business. Easily my favourite bakery in St Ives

So it’s our fifth pastie on five days and by far the best. 2 veggies had one each - one with cheese and one without - both hoofed down with gusto and both very flavoursome. The steak and Stilton pastie was excellent. However…they paled into...insignificance when the “Cruffins” were bit into. These were and are to die for - in fact, we actually detoured our walk back to the car to try and buy more, but, unsurprisingly, they had sold out. YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM!!More

I just paid £4.10 for a vegetarian pastie only to discover that it contained a bit chunk of meat. First and last product I buy from you.

It's worth a visit in to St ives just for the bakery! We bought cruffins, sourdough bread, focaccia and pasties, and everything was delicious! We made 2 trips here whilst on holiday to Cornwall. Staff were very friendly and helpful
