    Location is good. It doesn’t have much variety in terms of cakes but for pastries, croissants, muffins etc it’s good. Staff is very nice and helpful.

    I have been a great fan of this cafe with its large croissant and coffee a great start to the day. Alas they have succumbed to the rip off Ireland culture. Prices up and quantity down. A double whammy. Not content with adding 20c to the price of a croissant, but they half the size of them. Are customers being asked to pay for the rapid expansion to three stores.. I was a daily visitor and regularly bought €25 plus in cakes, I won't be going out of my way to get my coffee and croissant here anymore.

    Wide selection of delectable cakes, pastries and croissants. Had a black forest cake, cheese and spinach croissant and a lemon tart. Scrumptious food and great coffee!

    Taste is Okay same quality as LIDL patisserie I think it is bit over Pricy but people queue outsides and buy it, No other bakery in that street

    In my opinion. Best bakery in the city. The staff are so polite and great at informing you on where the produced has come from, how it was created and recommendations. I'm yet to try the desserts but the bread is made with a lot of love. I adore the flavours especially of the tomato bread! All the sandwiches have been filled- no worry about being hungry after this. This place excites me and would for anyone that sorts good, crusty, flavoursome bread!

    It is perfect and the cakes all tasted very good. I especially love the chocolate tart, which is sweet but not greasy!

    I ordered a Fraisier and I got a sponge cake with strawberries. Unfortunately the overall quality of Cameron bakery fell to the ground over the past few months but the prices are still the same. 40e for a sponge cake, never again. Please bring back original staff and management.

    This bakery seems to be the most famous in Cork, and the bread and desserts are really lovely, and I want to stop and look at them every time I pass by. Ate chocolate waffle and croissant, soft and sweet moderately.

    Camerons bakery is simply the best. The selection of baked goods is amazing. The staff are so sweet. The prices are super reasonable. Would highly recommend 😊

    I'm updating my review as I feel like the quality of their products has gone down a lot in the last few months. The croissants are often greasy, the lamination and layers aren't what they used to be. It's a pity because I would always have rated them before. I hate to say it but recently when I've dropped in, the staff haven't been as nice either, even when it's quiet.

    The pastries I got - cinnamon bun - were nice. I recommend them. But I also ordered a sausage roll and they asked if I wanted it heated. A few minutes later I tried it and although the outside was warm the centre was as cold as a fridge

    Food is very good. Lovely sandwiches. Female staff members always very nice and friendly. I can't say the same about male staff which sometimes behave like they don't like to work there. Overall recommend. Edited: They have smallest double espesso in the whole Ireland!!! not nice.

    Delicious food and fantastic service. My wife and I ate here both mornings on a recent trip to Cork. Wonderful selection of baked goods!

  • 2/5 Nadia A. 1 year ago on Google
    I was so exited for finally foind a french bakery.. Asked right away for a dallette de rois, it seemed more that i said the most ridiculous thing ever. They didn't understood so, they kept saying they didn't had any. Bought 3 croissants anyway, awfull taste. It seems the dought was made with a forgoten in the fridge butter, not good at all. Disapointment

    As luck would have it, I got a parking space. The Bakery was lovely, served by Lucas a very Friendly Guy. Bought a few things, including the best Caramel Tart ever. Boxed beautifully, presentation is key. So very well done. I will be back. 👏

    Good coffee and delicious pastries/ sandwiches in there 🥪🥐

  • 4/5 Dean 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice pastries with a good selection, we got the almond croissants which were really good, plenty of fresh bread and pastries to choose from to suit everyone also have sandwiches and wraps available. There is also a reduced section beside entrance which has good deals. Seems well kept and clean. Staff were friendly

    This was one of my places that I extolled about to other when they were in Cork. They used to do amazing sourdough and no longer do it which is disappointing given it is called Cameron Bakery. Now when I go in for one of their baguette sandwiches they either don’t have the sandwich filling or they run out of the baguette or they are not ready! Nice people and servers but unfortunately service is falling apart here!

  • 3/5 Flavio A. 4 months ago on Google
    The bakery has some really gorgeous and attractive pastries and baked goods but it kind of stops at it, I have tried several different options but it always looks better than it tastes. At the end of the day I would still prefer something from Lidl bakery.

  • 3/5 Martina D. 9 months ago on Google
    Used to love the place, sadly lately I tried it after a while and was kind of disappointed, the filling of the almond croissant was way too sweet, the cinnamon roll grew bigger lately but the ratio of filling to dough is way off, tried one of their New York wraps as the looks was good, but the wraps just coming out of the fridge are almost inedible, the wrap it self is so chewy it looks raw. The coffee is always good so that’s one thing I am gonna be back for.

    So today I finally gave Cameron "french" bakery a go... As far as I know they are actually french, but what a bunch of muppets... Nothing I bought was fresh. Flan still frozen inside. Éclair less than stellar and tasted frozen too. Almond croissant at least 2 days old, will go for the gulls later. Can they actually bake or do they just buy it frozen from people who can? But apparently they feel ok charging 10 euros for that. Disgraceful!

  • 1/5 Tanguy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Just bought a small galette des rois 18€ 💀 they don’t even furnish the crown! It better be excellent but I doubt it as it doesn’t even look nice. Cameron Bakery is way overpriced and the quality is not there, very disappointing.

  • 4/5 Ana Contreras N. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing choc almond croissant until I bite the undercooked bread. The first half of it was fantastic, absolute deliciousness

  • 5/5 Bushra Alam (. 4 years ago on Google
    Great bakery within walking distance from The River Lee Hotel. Lots of delicious pastries to choose from and there are sandwiches and other items as well. Good service in a pretty good location as well.

  • 5/5 Dave O. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. Great pastries, excellent sandwiches - everything to eah here is delicious and satisfying*. Fantastic. *I cannot say the same about the coffee but there are plenty of coffee options on Washington St.

  • 5/5 Kieran Kevany M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Gem of a bakery product range is superb quality tastes amazing and picture perfect. And the staff are just as wonderful to deal with. Always worth a visit if in the city and now has 2 locations

    You are looking for more of a continental bakery experience then Cameron's is the one and only place. Heck, i even found "Galette des Rois" this year (which was really good) ... anyhow this is where i go when i want a different/specific cake. I have never been disappointed with any of my orders either. Good up the good work Team.

  • 4/5 Maria Cristina R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place if you want to spoil yourself with desserts and pastries. French style. For my taste some are too sweet or buttered but that’s my taste! Is plenty of things you will get confused and you would try all! A bit expensive in my opinion… for very small portions…

  • 5/5 Sara J. 2 years ago on Google
    Expensive, but literally the nicest éclair I have ever had. I went to the one close to parnell Place. The staff were lovely too!
