About Cantina cafe

Breakfast anchors the menu at Cantina cafe, a breakfast restaurant on Wimborne Rd in Bournemouth, where the kitchen also turns out burgers, including a smash burger and a hamburger with a house special sauce. Morning orders run to a full breakfast or a smaller version, with tea or coffee included in the set, and coffee sits alongside juice and other drinks. Food carries on later in the day rather than stopping after the morning rush. The team works table service, greeting guests and carrying plates out, and booking ahead is advised. Outdoor seats give the option of eating in the open air, and high chairs make room for families with young children. Doors open daily through the daytime. One point worth knowing before you arrive, the single toilet sits outside the café, reached by going back out and around to the rear of the building.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what brings most reviewers back, with several describing weekly visits and one calling the portion for a regular breakfast really generous; the sausages draw particular praise, and one couple singles out the larger set breakfast that came with tea or coffee. Close behind is the burger, named by one diner as the "not the same burger," a smash burger with strong cheese and a soft bun, and by another as the hamburger with the house special sauce. Coffee earns repeated mention, including from a reviewer living in Italy, and Venezuelan street food gets a nod. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and quick, even for a group of eight. The complaints are real: one reviewer reports the single toilet, reached from outside around the back, was unclean and lacked toilet roll and hot water, and two others found the food not to their taste, one noting cold coffee and juice that had gone bad, which was replaced.

  • Maria Gabriela Concha
    “The owner was very kind. I fortunately didn't have a good food experience for breakfast.The juice had gone bad, which was replaced, the coffee was cold and the rest of the food was not to my taste. The service was cordial hence the rating.”
