Customer Review Summary

The full English breakfast is the dish reviewers raise most, with diners singling out the crispy hash brown, grilled halloumi, perfectly runny egg, and real sausages and bacon. Close behind are the eggs Benedict, the Turkish eggs, a fluffy cheese omelette, and the make your own breakfast, where reviewers like the choice of regular or sourdough toast. Lattes and coffee are called delicious and great. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and the menu earns praise for its vegetarian and gluten free choices, fair prices and generous portions. The complaints are minor. One reviewer wants sharper knives for cutting toast and bacon, and music that is more varied and at half the volume, noting it gets loud at weekends. Another would prefer butter in small individual portions rather than spread on the toast beforehand. One diner notes that on a very busy day the food was not rushed and every plate was cooked perfectly.

    “Went here for breakfast with my girlfriend which is my favourite time to eat out.Service was exceptional.Very friendly and attentive .Food was well priced and of very good quality .The bacon was the best I've had for a long time . Fantastic quality and cooked better than I've had in years .Sausage was very tasty and eggs cooked to perfection.Now I don't particularly like sourdough ( don't shoot me) so it was a massive bonus for me that it was proper white toast .Overall will definitely recommend and definitely be back .We both thought it was a place to recommend.Also the music and ambience were spot on .Cheers”

    “Fantastic place where to eat. Kind service, healthy food, freedom to choose various combinations. I can't wait to taste what I've already planned to order during the next two weeks of vacation in Bournemouth 😋”
  • Olga Delta
    “We love this place! Especially “make your own breakfast” with a great choice of options including regular/sourdough toast option. I believe we tried all sorts of options :) Delicious latte, which I strongly craved. One small suggestion - we would prefer butter in small individual portions rather than spread before on the toast. Service was incredibly good, smooth and pleasant! Felt relaxed and on vacation. Thank you very much 😍”

    “Had a lovely experience at Oliver Cafe Bournemouth! The food was fresh, tasty, and really satisfying. I tried the full English breakfast, and everything was cooked perfectly, especially the crispy hash brown, grilled halloumi, and the perfectly runny egg. I also tried the cheese omelette was absolutely delicious. The omelette was fluffy and cheesy. Definitely a great spot in Bournemouth for breakfast or brunch. Highly recommended!”
