Best proper bread, pastries and pasties in St Ives! The bread is made with slow fermentation giving it the best possible taste. The cakes and pasties are just amazing too. It's a small business owned by two local siblings with a passion for all things baked...

City/town information

St Ives is a small seaside town, and it's very safe. There are lots of restaurants, cafés, galleries and shops, as well as beautiful beaches. It is traditionally a fishing village, although nowadays there is no fish landed there anymore. St Ives is also known for its art scene, as the light here attracts many artists. Pay a visit to some of the galleries and you won't be disappointed. There are several beaches around town, all are fantastic, make sure you explore them! And don't be surprised to see surfers walking around to or from surfing. Maybe have a go at surfing yourself? Please be aware that most roads have cars driving, so don't walk in the middle of the road. It does get very busy during the summer months, so booking places in advance is recommended. Be kind to everyone and you will have an amazing time in our beautiful town!
