The Best Cafes in Arne, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Amazing ! Super staff and food is just flawless. It is what it says : Healthy and also super tasty. Little one says : Delicious ! Truth comes out from children's mouth.

First time here and had the eggs avocado and feta absolutely delicious

Fantastic coffee made by super friendly, smiley staff. Huge range of tasty and healthy menu options.

Discovered this place for the first time and treated myself for my birthday. Avocado Bruschetta with Superfood Hot Chocolate was amazing. Also ordered salad to take with me. Everything fresh, made to order and so tasty. I cannot recommend this place enough and definitely will come back again... And again ... And again xx

A food stall at the end of the beach, about a 5min walk. Outdoor seating but sometimes not enough as it gets busy, beware of the gulls!! A great view out over the beach & water. We had a bit of wait because they were flat out. It provides breakfasts up to 11am but you can still buy baguettes. Usual hot n cold drink, & other food, not cheap but you’re paying for the location.

Perfect breakfast experience. Very nice staff. Great food. Couldn’t be better

Highly recommend! Wide variety of burgers, seafood, and bites, as well as beers and local ciders available. Beware their hot food service ends at 3pm but if you're a few minutes late they're really nice and can make select menu items. Loved the chicken burger here after finishing a long hike from Studland

Had a nice egg baguette and a coffee. Unfortunately a seagull got half of it! A warning would have been nice, but the gull enjoyed it eating it in front of me.

I passed this place dozens of times over the years not knowing about it. today we stopped for a quick breakfast. Friendly service, fast delivery, and low prices. However, the most important thing is the quality of the food, which is also very good. I will definitely come back here again.

The Aroma cafe were superb. Exceptionally friendly, welcoming, eager to serve and deliver in customer service. The food is great, good sized portions and fairly priced. Always drop in when I'm over Poole way.

Without a doubt this is the eating gem of Poole High street. The range and quality of food is excellent, it is hot and fresh, and always very quick. The staff are efficient and friendly whenever we visit and the desserts are gorgeous. I would highly recommend this for singles, couples or families. The children's menu is also very good. The smoothies and milkshakes are a favourite with our kids and the tea is good too. Give it a try!

Birthday breakfast with my daughter, first time here but it most definitely won't be the last time I come here as its amazing. Breakfast was so delicious, so flavoursome and fresh and the egg was cooked to perfection, I'm normally funny with eggs but these eggs were just divine. My only criticism is to have the toast the same time as the breakfast, but I will ask for that to happen next time I order.... #SeeYouSoon. 😊

Hands down the best cake I have ever eaten! Purchased entire cake ! Cost was super! Got home and absolutely smashed it!! Wow Thank you so much for sharing your amazing culinary skills with the world!!

Came here to get out of the intense heat at a shady table outside and were really pleasantly surprised - lovely coffee, good value, excellent customer service. One of our party didn't want a drink but was offered a glass of iced tap water all the same - so kind and thoughtful. Recommended!

Amazing little gem of a cafe! We were very impressed with the quality of cakes, drinks and actually the prices were really fair too! Super friendly service as well 😊 Vegan food options on the menu. Vegan chocolate cake and vegan treacle tart available on the day we went but sounds like the cake options change regularly (lots of other options too). I had an iced oat milk coffee with caramel syrup which was amazing! And the treacle tart with soya cream which was equally amazing. Dog friendly at the outside seating and dog treats brought out your pooch 🐶

Called in today for some lunch, pleasantly surprised 😊 my husband and I had a panini and a doorstep sandwich WOW it was massive, biggest sandwich ever with loads of prawns and a side salad. All this plus drinks for under £18 a bargain. Will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Wonderful & fast service, quality food, clean & homely & very reasonably priced for the portions! Will definitely be back.

I am currently visiting my sister and was looking for somewhere to have some lunch. I am very pleased the Bay Leaf cafe was just around the corner. Wonderful coffee and food at a really reasonable price and friendly staff. If I was local, I would be a very regular customer! Thank you

Popped in here whilst my car was being serviced nearby. They offer a good value tasty breakfast with plenty of options. Nice clean tables and quick service.

The best cafe for breakfast I recommend this place I've been here 3 times I can't fault anything it's spot on place 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 cheers lady's and chef for the breakfast happy Xmas and new year 🎊👍👌

Very lovely! Had a breakfast burrito and a latte, was fast and hot, the staff were so lovely too:)

Cozy and fab. Drink, all day breakfast and services are perfect. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely little café, great food amd friendly service

Lovely little cafe by the BU uni! Loved the ambience and lattes with lovely playlist of good music and chill vibes

So lovely! They put it on the sign that they serve decent coffee but honestly it was one of the best cups of coffee we had in a while!!! The views are spectacular and the service was great. Felt like a rare gem find!

Went to Old Harry Rocks, after the walk we stopped off at Joe's cafe South beach with lovely peaceful beach views, ordered 2 cheese burgers and an Americano and a latte £24, food and service was good, I could have had another coffee as it was small and morish, home made onion relish was yummy too 😍 would recommend after a lovely walk xxx

Nice sandwiches, ice creams and drinks. Surprisingly really good coffee. Always stop off there on the way to Old Harry.

I arrived before the cafe opened but was given such a warm welcome by Josie and her mum. The whole atmosphere was extremely friendly and beautiful. The views were that good you could have been anywhere in the world. On top of that the food was really good and not overpriced. Everyone needs to visit this place!!!!

Lovely little cafe, reasonable good prices Toasties were great

Popped in for an 'emergency' late lunch (3:30pm!) after being on the beach - friendly helpful service and the food exceeded my expectations. Prices are very reasonable (especially for the area). We had hotdogs, chips and baked potatoes with tuna mayo and salad- all good. Thank you!!

Lovely ladies who served, oat milk provided but no cappuccino option which doesnt matter as the coffee was lovely and the tea cake was beautiful! Thank you ladies i appreciate the rest stop! Lovely cafe and clean and friendly

Haven Ferry Cafe is located right by the Ferry. I chose to dine in but there are also takeaway options available. A welcoming team helped me with the menu options for vegetarian and gluten free. I chose the Vegetarian Breakfast; it was nicely done, a good fulfilling portion to start the day. I had black tea ( Yorkshire) with it. There are options of cakes. The place is very cute, cosy, clean and obviously well looked after. They are also playing nice songs. You have wi-fi available. Enjoy!

Beautiful and relaxing cafe for breakfast. Staff were absolutely lovely. The service really was excellent. Good quality local ingredients. Delicious coffee. Very clean. Loos are immaculate. Seating outside right by the water. Loved it.

I had a really good lunch here last Saturday, just me on a terrace table watching the world go by... first time in Poole! Excellent food, with super friendly and efficient service from Lucy and Charlotte who definitely deserve a shout out. Scallops and Chorizo starter, Moules Mariniere main and a shamefully rich Sundae to finish, I could barely stand up.... Great place, highly recommended!!

Great meals, chose from Vegan and Gluten-Free menus, oodles of choice and Maria our waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and prompt. I had the Mediterranean Appetizer and Mediterranean Penne (a theme here)! Glad booked as restaurant packed out from 8ish, there's an upstairs too. Bravissimo!

Had a great lunch with a group of friends today, such a lovely environment to sit back and relax in. All the food was excellent, and well presented and served at the same time for such a large group all ordering at different times. The staff were a joy it was most definitely service with a smile, Thank you Aunt fanny's for a great afternoon. Special thumbs up for the American lady on the till, superb!

Definitely worth a visit. Breakfast menu a wide choice of delicious foods, home made cakes and very yummy. Service impeccable from being greeted on entry., to great service when ordering food. Food delivered quickly on hot plates. Wide choice hot and cold beverage. Quirky place to eat out with light music. Very popular hidden away professional place. Even better when warm as can sit outside.

Visited a few times and never been let down. Very friendly staff, amazing food, lovely laid back environment with lots of different things to look at. Had the homemade quiche, amazing. Fully recommend you visit.

Friendly welcoming staff that couldn't do enough for you. The food was well presented, and very tasty- The Timmy (fish finger sandwich )was delicious, one of the best I've had. The decor was spot on and there was so many things to look at. The latte was slightly watery tasting- but minor compared to the experience overall. A new favourite.
