Popped into Cilla nd Camilla close to the closing time, however we need not have worried the staff were responsive and helpful so we were served before they closed. Its a bright little spot at the back of the shop with an external encloded area if the weather is good (wasnt for us so had to sit inside). They had very lovely looking cakes which we managed to resist but did go for one of the sandwiches which was tasty and very filling.

The food was freshly prepared, and as always delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. I met three friends for lunch and afterwards we had a leisurely browse around the shop which has an amazing selection of things to buy, from clothes, candles, cushions, scented soaps, gifts and cards, to glass ware.

Just good service with a charm and style. Great Dorset ham sandwiches and delicious coffee. Really interesting shop attached. Made most welcome.

I dropped in mid this afternoon for a quick coffee after a lot of driving. Beaminster is a beautiful village, well kept, surrounded by green fields and a magnificent church tower, with a wonderful town square. I found this gem of a local gift shop and cafe during my adventure. The cafe is hidden away at the back of the shop. It opens up to a nice court yard with head height views of the surrounding hills. I was under a large umbrella (plenty of shade for a hot day, or rainy one). Very friendly staff and good service. I had an iced coffee and a very nice lemon cake (the last slice!). Lastly a few locals were there, nice community.
