  “Firstly - dog friendly so big bonus there. The staff were absolutely lovely. You can reserve tables, it is right by the sea, nice menu. Reasonable prices, the portions were not the largest but then it is much better to have a smaller nice portion..... There is a slope and a step in but there is a rail and we found it fine, nice and clean, wish then all the success.”

  “Large step to get in and no ramp for wheelchair access so not accessible at all. No attempt to provide access. Our group went somewhere else. Food maybe good who knows. Was empty so maybe needs a rethink.”

  “I had the best coffee I've had in the whole of England here whilst I've been travelling. The woman that works there is lovely and has great, organic service. There is free street parking there (if you can get a spot!) and is in a cute, less touristy part of Bournemouth. I would highly recommend!”

  “Came here as part of a Christmas lunch with my mum's writers' club. Haven't been before and didn't know what to expect. The husband and wife team were lovely, warm and welcoming. Thankfully this place is licensed and shared a locally produced bottled beer with my mother. Menu was pre-ordered and it was good, home-cooked food (the veg could've done with a bit of something). I had the fish and it was really tasty served with a lovely sauce, everyone else enjoyed their meals too. Portion sizes were a bit too big for me and hated having to leave food on my plate. Coffee was excellent. The prices were extremely reasonable. Nothing was too much for this lovely duo. Unsure what they normally serve during the week but if you're passing then call in. You'll have an amazing welcome.”

  “Having lived nearby for a few years now im embarrassed to say I haven't been here sooner! The lady running the place was so friendly and makes the place feel like its being run by a real mum figure. This was only reinforced when those of us who didnt order drinks were given water 'just in case', which is truly caring service. I will absolutely be back after all future beach walks.”

  “Always a great welcome and lovely food. Whether you are popping in for a coffee and cake, or a full roast dinner, the food is always freshly prepared and tastes amazing. Their range of puddings are a personal favourite 🥰 I highly recommend trying it out, you won't be disappointed.”

  “Right then. Lets start with this. Where can you get a good British cooked breakfast for £6,95p. That has a butchers sausage and a free range egg. Your not going to. I had the big boy one today. It was fantastic. I think we as a nation are loosing our way when it comes to price and quality. The breakfast down the road from us is good to but just around the corner they're charging £15.95 for a small one. I just don't get it. Lets keep this cafe going by just popping in every so often. I live 35 minutes away and will be popping in every couple of weeks.”
