  “I only had a coffee (which was delicious and the staff were lovely and friendly) and wish I had taken a picture of the outside space that has been newly decorated with flowers and some lovely planter! So happy as it was looking quite sad and has really made a difference to that area! Enjoy!”

  “Walking through the town with our dog and when the staff saw him they all rushed out to say hello. So lovely. We came back the following morning for a delicious and reasonably priced brekkie. The staff not only remembered our pup but were …”

  “Really good friendly attentive service, with the food options and dietary options all fully explained along with selection of what sort of bread you’d like, gluten free etc Really well presented nice indoor and outdoor area to sit in The food was excellent ! We had vegetarian breakfast and poached eggs on toast The vegetarian breakfast just looked fantastic and was to a excellent standard I noticed there’s a small selection of toys to keep your small children occupied while you eat, so great option for a family I really highly recommend you choose this cafe for breakfast or lunch when visiting Dorchester, after our great experience in this cafe, we will now make it our first choice to eat when we visit Dorchester Well above and beyond expectations, so much better than your usual coffee with a piece of cake experience in the national chain cafes !”

  “Met with friends for a mid-week lunch. Great service, lovely veggie food choices. We enjoyed jackets + sandwiches, coffee, teas + cakes. All tasty. Gluten free choices too. Dog friendly, accommodating my little spaniel. Pleased to have visited this cosy, independent, cafe.”

  “Popped in to try the new menu, I’ve just had a fabulous English breakfast. Absolutely loved it, sausages were fantastic not over herby ones just proper pork sausages. Actually decent value aswell at about £12. Highly recommend. I’m sure you will get some backlash from the vegan community but let’s face it……if there were enough of them and they ate more food…you could make a business model work……. But facts are facts and cafes and restaurants ts etc are hard enough to survive, you can’t cater for one community unless they wanna pay £20 for a toastie as that’s only way ends could surly meet. But for me, No issues at all with these meat additions to the menu, it means I can now have somewhere else to go with veggie and vegan mates where we can all enjoy something as the veg options are still plentiful, but now I can actually enjoy something with bacon aswell. I shall be back! 100% quality breakfast”

  “A lovely little cafe hidden away off Charles Street, very handy for the car park. Mid morning we went in for a drink and cake. I had Black Americano and my wife black tea. Both were excellent, the tea being leaf tea. Dorset apple cake and coffee and walnut cake were our choices. Both were excellent, freshly made and light. The breakfast and lunch menu is Vegan and vegetarian,with some appetising choices, even for us carnivores! Not overly busy at 11.30am but there is outside seating in the finer weather.”

  “Oh wow, where do I even start. The vibe of the cafe is quaint and cozy. Stunning architecture. Staff are lovely and incredibly helpful. We first stopped in to try breakfast. We both got cappuccino with oat milk, which were absolutely perfect. My fiancee got the full vegan breakfast, and oh my gosh - stunning. The tomatoes were so bright, plump, and flavorful. Roasted veggies were also delicious. She added the scrambled tofu, and we both thought it was incredibly delicious. I got the avocado mushroom toast and added a piece of vegan sausage. I adored my toast. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The vegan sausage had a very nice flavor, we both enjoyed it! Our next stop in was for lunch. We got nachos with bbq jackfruit and vegan cheese and a bhaji burger to share. Oh my goodness. The flavors were unreal. The burger came with the most amazing chips and some mango chutney. The burger was huge and super filling. The nachos were out of this world. The jackfruit was nicely sauced. The guac was very good, the chips were nice and crisp. The 3rd time we went, the goal was to have a small snack and waffles. We got the strawberry lemonade tea to share. We absolutely loved the flavor. It was incredibly nice. The Poutine with vegan cheese was OUT OF THIS WORLD. We can't stop thinking about it. And the waffles...oh my. They sent us to waffles heaven. The vegan ice cream was so wonderfully creamy. And the waffles were just so delicious and flavorful. We got they're signature banana waffles vegan style and ugh. Amazing. AMAZING. We will be back for more. Our most recent visit we got cappuccinos and nachos again. We tried the Quiche this time, and honestly didn't love it but the flavor was quite nice! Can't wait to come back (which we plan to on Tuesday haha)”
