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
