Baker Tom's Bakery Shop & Takeaway

the pastries at baker tom's are the reason to show up before you've figured out what you want to drink. pool isn't a destination people talk about much, but wilson way has a way of surprising you, and baker tom's is part of that. it sits in a part of cornwall that's more working town than tourist trail, which means the regulars here are actual regulars, not people ticking boxes on a holiday itinerary. the focus is tight: baked goods done well, coffee to go alongside them. that combination, unpretentious and consistent, is what keeps a place like this locally regarded rather than just locally known. go mid-morning, when the pastries are still fresh off the day.
