The Cornish Bakery

good coffee and a proper pastry in the same stop is rarer than it should be. the cornish bakery on millennium walkway has built a quiet reputation around getting both right, which in portsmouth's harbour-adjacent stretch of the city centre is no small thing. you don't have to go far to find a chain doing the same combination badly, so a place that handles it well tends to stick. the walkway itself is a bit of a thoroughfare, people moving through rather than lingering, but this one pulls you in. come for the coffee, stay because the pastry situation gives you a reason to.
