Fantastic! Visiting area, went for very cold cycle then headed towards village to find somewhere. Coffee great, cake great, Service great, atmosphere great...... so much so we took takeaway cake too! Following day couple of friends joined us on bikes.... we just had to go back!!!!! I can vouch....blueberry muffins, carrot cake & salted caramel brownies.....perfect! I need this cafe where i live! They are an independent company & so welcoming, DONT throw your money to Costa etc..... support The Absent Pony..... cake portions are huge🙂. Thank you to the very chatty lady on Tuesday & her colleague on Wednesday. Loyalty card will be ready for next visit! Good job girls. Thank you!
Great coffee, cakes and toasties. Easily the best coffee in Brockenhurst. Highly recommend 👍
The Absent Pony is an absolute delight! Conveniently situated near the rail station, bus stops and bike shop in Brockenhurst, the coffee here is superb and there is an excellent selection of cakes (I've tried several of the vegan options which are all delicious). The staff are all lovely too, really welcoming and friendly. In fact, I'd say it's worth visiting Brockenhurst just to have coffee and cake here. Such good coffee!
Great selection of cakes and pastries and sausage rolls. Coffee is great too and always happy!
A Hidden Gem That Feeds Both Body & Soul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Absent Pony in Brockenhurst is a revelation. As someone who spent 44 years adamantly avoiding coffee, their Coffee has achieved the impossible.
While other cafés still fail to tempt my taste buds, I now find myself craving my daily coffee fix from this New Forest treasure. That alone would be worth five stars, but it's just the beginning.
Their cheese toasties are pure food perfection, they are made with love and I've made it my personal mission to sample every cake in their display (purely for research, of course!). The extensive vegan selection is remarkable.
But what truly sets The Absent Pony apart is its soul. Run by an incredible family who clearly pour their hearts into every aspect of the business, this café feels more like being welcomed into someone's home. Every single member of staff is a credit to the business and to themselves.
The Absent Pony is not only serving exceptional coffee and food – they're serving joy, one cup at a time. This is a New Forest treasure that has transformed both my coffee drinking habits, and my definition of what a good coffee hut should be like.
