  “Lovely coffee and food, including nice vegan options. Very busy but staff are always friendly. Honestly some of the best coffee in Dorset. The Avocado and Bacon bagel is delicious. Personal favourite coffee is the Dirty Chai - always get it spot on, consistently good.”

  “Amazing vegan ice cream milkshakes (my faves are Oreo and biscoff), you can even get some whipped cream on top. The music is great . The cafe itself is beautiful and has a lovely coastal vibe.”

  “Lovely coffee but slightly on the pricey side at almost £10 for a brownie and an ice latte. Decent drink size as well compared to other places. Would return when if the area again.”

  “Great choice of unique sweet treats flavours and matchas! Tried the Caramelised Banana Matcha and Cookie Matcha, both were great, though the caramel one was definitely on the sweeter side. Also got the Honey Nut Crunch (a sweet golden syrup cornflake flapjack) and a Cookie Munch Bar (a crushed cookies, condensed milk and chocolate concoction!!). The whole place had a stunning aesthetic and a record room upstairs!!”

  “A clever combination of coffee, food & vinyl, situated in the pedestrianised high street of Poole. A bustling popular shopping area, with plenty of regular and niche shops, as well as market stall traders. The Quayside is a short walk and there are some quality pubs. Plenty to do if you have arrived early to use the ferry. Plenty of parking options, but ensure that you have the appropriate parking app...we spent 20mins trying to download the app, it failed on 2 phones and we later got a fine in the post....”

  “Place was asthetically nice and I really liked the vibes but unfortunately my caramel latte wasn't that good 😭 There's too much milk and less espresso in my opinion :( Would try the other menu next time :)”

  “The chai latte was honestly amazing not overly sweet like it is in some places, just perfectly balanced. My friend tried a sip and immediately regretted not ordering it 😄 The café has such a cute and cosy vibe. Seating is a bit limited, but it really adds to that lovely local atmosphere. Would definitely come back!”

  “A great coffee shop for a relaxed and comfortable get together with your nearest and dearest. The coffee is good, strong in flavour which I love, fantastic texture and complemented by some delicious and attractive cakes. The cortardo is wonderful, just as it should be. The latte is smooth and the milkshake was balanced between sweetness and a refreshing experience. Friendly staff in an environment that inspires relaxation and leaves time unimportant.”

  “We had a great experience at this café! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I especially appreciated the generous serving of halloumi – so many places skimp on it, but not here. It really felt like great value for money. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends!”

  “Great bagels and sourdough toasties. Small but cosy. Efficient staff. Food is really good with quality ingredients. Nice music, not too loud. Few seats on ground floor, more in the room above.”
