Devon and Cornwall have become real foodie spots over the past few years and despite producing amazing food for centuries, we’re perhaps only now getting the national and international recognition our culinary delights deserve. One thing that is certainly making us stand out is our coffee shops, so whether you’re looking for a Caffe Americano or some homemade shortbread, here’s 10 of the very best in Cornwall, as recommended by MiHi Digital’s Twitter followers:
Charlie’s Coffee House – Charlestown
Nestled in the heart of Cornish fishing village Charlestown is Charlie’s Coffee House. The family-run coffee shop opened in 2007 and is as popular for its coffee as it is for homemade cakes and sarnies.
