What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Nile's Bakery & Cafe is celebrated for its authentic Cornish pasties and hearty breakfasts, using locally sourced ingredients. Reviewers often praise the friendly service and the quality of their baked goods and sweet treats.

"Each year, when we visit Cornwall, we do like a visit to Nile's to pick up picnic food! Today I had a cheese pastry, which was absolutely delicious, followed by a Kinder Slice which was divine, and my choice was supported by the lovely lady who took our family order. A return trip is needed to get another Kinder Slice. Lots of other takeaway food available including a vegan pasty. Also a busy looking cafe."

"The Vegan Pasty was incredible. The best pasty I’ve ever had!!! Service was friendly and quick. Atmosphere is a busy and noisy cafe. Great for a quick bite or a grab and go."
Emma Jones
"Nile's Bakery offers a true taste of Cornwall with their exceptional Cornish pasty. The star of the show is the Cornish skirt beef, which brings a rich, savory flavor to every bite. This traditional cut is tender and perfectly seasoned, making it a standout ingredient.
What really sets these pasties apart is the attention to detail in sourcing. The potatoes, grown by the Dustow family in Fowey, are a testament to Nile’s commitment to quality. They add a subtle sweetness and hearty texture that perfectly complements the beef. The pastry itself is golden and flaky, holding everything together beautifully.
Each bite of Nile’s steak pasty is a delicious nod to Cornwall’s culinary heritage. Whether you're a local or just visiting, these pasties are a must-try for an authentic Cornish experience.
I was gifted this from a relative that recently visited the area."
