  “Fantastic service and atmosphere! The place smells amazing, the background music is pleasant, and the decor is beautiful. Both the food and drinks were delicious and presented beautifully. I enjoyed everything so much that I completely forgot to take a picture! Highly recommend.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the best coffee I’ve had in Bournemouth. I ordered the Colombia Geisha, and it genuinely took me back to Colombia where I first tasted coffee like this. The flavour was incredibly clean, fruity and full of character. You can tell they really care about sourcing and brewing their coffee. The atmosphere is calm, the staff are friendly, and everything feels thoughtfully done. If you enjoy specialty coffee, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back.”

  “I went to Live on cafe for my birthday and had the greatest time. The coffee was exceptional and the owner was so welcoming and friendly. He even played a song for me without requesting it, so kind of him. The owner of this place cares to give his costumers a personalized experience. I could clearly see it in the way he treated everyone in the cafe. I cannot wait to come back to this place during my time in Bournemouth 🤤”

  “I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment on two occasions. Typically, it tends to be quite busy during weekend lunch hours, but fortunately, a Christmas market was taking place this time, which may have contributed to fewer customers. I must say, this place is a tranquil, hidden gem nestled in the bustling city center of Bournemouth. Every food item I have sampled has been delightful, but the highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional coffee prepared by a rather stern-looking barista, which I consider to be among the finest I have tasted in the UK. Although my visits to Bournemouth are infrequent, occurring only once every month or two, I certainly intend to return.”

  “The staff are very friendly, a bit disappointed on dessert though. I ordered a cake, and the staff said it was a cheesecake, but it tasted more like a mousse cake. It didn’t have much flavour apart from the Biscoff biscuit, though the portion size was good.”
