At Cornish Bakery, every cup of coffee we serve is rooted in care, from bean to brew. That’s why we partner with Origin Coffee, a renowned speciality roaster whose values and craft align perfectly with ours.

Stronghold — Our House Espresso Blend

• We use Origin’s Stronghold as our house espresso: a bold, traditional blend crafted for customers who love a rich, intense cup.
  
• Stronghold is composed of beans from trusted, long-term sources in Brazil (and sometimes Sumatra), blended to deliver a cup with dark chocolate, fudge and brown sugar notes, full-bodied, low-acidity, and with a long, sweet finish.
  
• Its darker roast profile brings a “classic coffee” feel: perfect as a traditional espresso but also ideal for milk-based drinks like lattes or flat whites.
  

Decaf Coffee — Smooth, Balanced, Approachable

• For guests who prefer little or no caffeine, whether evening visitors or those sensitive to caffeine, we also offer coffee made using Origin’s decaf beans. Origin treats decaf with the same care and standards as their regular coffees.
  
• The decaf roast remains versatile: you can enjoy it as espresso, filter or milk-based drinks, with a flavour profile that retains sweetness and balance without the caffeine, a thoughtful option for a late-afternoon or evening cup.

Origin Coffee was founded in 2004 and has grown into one of Europe’s leading speciality coffee roasters. Their philosophy is built on a triple-bottom-line approach: people, planet, and product.

Every coffee bean that arrives in our bakery is part of Origin’s Direct Trade programme. That means beans are sourced, wherever possible, directly from producers under fair, transparent relationships.

That direct connection ensures stability and fairness for farmers. It also gives us traceability and confidence, we know exactly where our beans came from, how they were grown, and that they met rigorous quality standards.

Origin defines “speciality coffee” as beans that score above 80 points on a 100-point scale, as determined by professional grading. That means these beans come from high-quality cherries, they’re sorted and processed carefully, and they’re roasted and brewed to highlight their unique character.

For you, that translates into a better coffee experience: more delicate aroma, deeper complexity, and subtle flavour notes removed from the flat anonymity of commodity coffee.
