If there’s one thing Cornwall does exceptionally well (other than provide magical seaside holidays) its bakeries. Take a stroll down any Cornish promenade and you’re bound to find a plethora of baked goods from succulent pasties to fresh loaves to scrummy choux.

But what is a baked good without a creamy latte to wash it down? If you’re looking to refuel in Newquay, here’s your guide to the best cafes & bakeries

A legendary spot among locals, overlooking Crantock Beach and the Gannel Estuary. Offering both traditional breakfast favourites and real treasure for those who love seafood.
