The Lost Mill Bakery

Named for the fabled Lost Windmill of West Cowes, this heritage-minded bakery and coffee shop puts the Isle of Wight firmly on Britain's baking map. Flour sourced from the island underpins everything, from standout sourdough loaves to slow-fermented croissants – a four-day process that shows in every buttery layer. Cherry and almond bostock and glazed cardamom knots are among the sweet highlights, while homemade buckwheat granola or soup with a sourdough roll will see you through from breakfast and lunch.
