James’ patisserie & sandwiches - Honiton

We asked James to make a three-tiered cake for our wedding, and from the outset we could tell he was passionate about his work, and his flavour ideas were excellent.

When we saw the cake on the day we were blown away with how pretty it looked, it was exactly the picture we had in our mind’s eye. However the taste was absolutely out of this world. On the night and in the days following so many of the guests said it was the best cake they’d ever had, and they all wanted to know who made it.

Thanks so much for all your hard work.

James has made several birthday cakes for us and recently has made our wedding cake which was an absolute delight! All of our guests absolutely loved it, it tasted amazing and looked stunning with edible flowers on it too. James has also made a few birthday cakes for us which have also been spot on, including a tractor being driven by a dinosaur cake for our son which was very impressive! My personal favourite from James was a pavalova he made which was just to die for, I have been dreaming about it ever since! Very very talented man, highly highly recommend

Came across this little gem today. All the food is so reasonably priced and was ready in a couple of minutes! The staff were really accommodating and friendly and the place was really clean. Will definitely be returning 😊

James baked a spectacular cake for our grandmother’s 100th birthday. It was absolutely beautiful and incredibly tasty -everyone was impressed and asked for his details. Communication was super easy with him and he did exactly what we asked for, and the result was even better than we had expected. Absolutely recommended. Thank you very much, James!

Edit: 28/09/91 this image is a perfect example of what makes a truly wonderful and delicious cake. It's fair to say I will be going to James in the far future for any cake occasions. I teared up at how beautiful and delicious this cake was. I'm only. Sorry I couldn't post more than one review about this place 😊😊We've gone to James for ages, great place for lunch and a wonderful selection of naughty sweet treats. We got married last year and we commissioned James to do our wedding cake and it was more than what we expected and tasted sensational. Wonderful person and wonderful food. If you're ever in Honiton, give this place a visit you won't regret it 😊

What can I say?

My man James makes cakes and biscuits like Chelsea blow money on mediocre footballers!

We had sent to us a Blackcurrant & white chocolate yoghurt topped flapjack, these were bloody unreal, genuinely the best flapjack I've had in a long long time.
A Kinder beuno brookie (I thought Brookie was a naff soap featuring a load of jobless scousers but there you go) which was so rich and chocolately it was an absolute dream and finally one of the best caramel brownie slices I've ever had, I'd happily eat three or four of these and fall in to a diabetic coma.

If I'm ever in James' neck of the woods I will 100% be visiting his cafe and trying some more of his delights.

Anyway I'm off to order me some more flapjack, I advise you to do the same!

I had to leave a two star review as both times I have been in James Patisserie and had to give up waiting again. Today I was standing in the front of the queue and I wasn't acknowledged whist I waiting patiently to be served. I felt it got to almost 10mins and I gave up, the lady making other people's sandwich could see I was waiting but just ignored me. The other server went on lunch so I gave up. When I got back home I spoke to my husband and he said he had the same experience himself. So feedback is please acknowledge those in the queue and or let them know when they will be served.

Having read previous reviews we stopped here to buy food to take to our Airbnb for an overnight stop en-route to Cornwall. Greeted by a lovely friendly lady and James who was happy to chat despite being busy cake decorating. Purchased 2 baguettes, one coronation chicken and 1 bacon, lettuce and sun dried tomato plus 4 cakes. All absolutely delicious and fantastic value, the amount and quality of baguette filling was superb. Huge slices of lemon and blueberry gateau and 2 smaller cakes, all delicious. Back in Honiton for a week next spring and will definitely be calling in again. Well done James, hope you have huge success with your business going forward.
