About The Garden Rooms Café
The Garden Rooms Café is a community café on Haviland Rd in Boscombe, Bournemouth. The kitchen puts a roast dinner on the menu alongside its freshly made food, which gives the café a hot, full meal as well as lighter options.

“Haven't eaten here but the chai lattes are delicious! Have given 5 stars for food as didn't want to leave 0 - if their drinks quality is anything to go by, a 5 is well deserved. Atmosphere is really lovely, calm but vibrant in the right ways. Staff nice and helpful and the whole café is clean and welcoming.”
- Richard Hales
“Wow! What a great place. Not what I expected when a friend suggested we go there. Plenty of space and seating inside and tastefully decorated. I only had a coffee so can't comment on the food. The coffee is Bad Hand which was very pleasant. Very reasonably priced as were the other items on the menu. Will definitely go back.”
