About Norwegian Wood Cafe

Norwegian Wood Cafe is a cafe on Glen Fern Rd in Bournemouth, decorated throughout with Beatles memorabilia. The kitchen serves English breakfasts, including veggie and traditional options, alongside cheese and mushroom omelettes with chips and salad, and dishes can be swapped to suit. For a quicker stop, toast and coffee cover the basics, with espresso drinks and peppermint tea also on offer. Background music plays gently through the room. Outdoor seating is available for those who want to sit outside, with parking nearby, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. There is no need to book ahead, as the cafe operates on a walk-in basis. It opens Tuesday to Sunday during the day, staying closed on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what reviewers return to most, with the cheese and mushroom omelette singled out for its large portion, freshly fried chips and salad. A veggie and a traditional breakfast, an English breakfast and vegan options also get mentions, and one reviewer says they were allowed to swap an item on each plate. Close behind is the coffee, called brilliant and excellent, along with a pot of English breakfast tea and a peppermint tea one reviewer says elevates the meal. Friendly, welcoming service comes up repeatedly, with owners and servers described as hospitable and caring about what lands on the plate. Several mention the lovely atmosphere, including peaceful outdoor seating with gentle music and the Beatles decor. The one caveat is speed: a reviewer says service took a while, but puts it down to the place being so busy. Others call it good value, with one noting a hearty omelette and tea for just over a tenner, and another getting two rounds of toast and a coffee on an early morning visit.
