We came here for breakfast for my mum's birthday and it did not disappoint! The ingredients are of the highest quality, everything was cooked perfectly and the coffee was great. We were a table of 7 adults and a highchair, and the service was incredibly friendly and professional. The outdoor tables with a view were a perfect way to finish our morning with a coffee and a cannoli. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we look forward to returning soon!

Fabulous! One of the best coffee stops for cyclists in this corner of Dorset. We're always made very welcome. Great service, great coffee and a lovely selection of food. Great coffee and pastries. A lovely friendly atmosphere, I keep meaning to visit when I'm not on a bike.

Fantastic local cafe, primarily for train users but can be used by anyone. The set breakfasts are very good value, including tea/coffee. Lots of options and the ability to take away the breakfasts to have elsewhere. Great find with friendly staff.

This is an absolute gem of a place. If you like a good fried English breakfast this is the place to go, although not much indoor seating.

Regularly choose to grab breakfast here when going into Sherborne. As reviews have stated it’s a small cafe but easily the best breakfast and prices for this area. Personally I cannot understand the review saying the sausages and bacon are “tasteless”, I can only assume that reviewer was suffering from COVID and had no sense of taste as the bacon is always thick sliced and unmissable and the sausages are great, not seasoned/specialty sausages but they are better than many of the other venues I have visited. Breakfast options are great and are very filling, but if your in a rush a hot coffee and an excellent thick-cut bacon sandwich is an awesome choice to set you up for your trip.

After fighting our way through Bradford on Avon traffic we decided to stop off and have a quick coffee. Great service from happy and smiling staff. The coffee was really nice and made with freshly ground beans, the kids warm hot chocolate was exactly as described so no worries on the little one burning themselves. The cakes didn't just look amazing they tasted it too. Finally, the sausage bacon and egg bap is well worth it, the extra thick crispy bacon really made it. Would highly recommend and we'll be back when next travelling through the town.

I went for an all day breakfast with my dog Izzy and my dad and had the best time. Everyone was so so friendly and welcoming, so lovely with Izzy and kind. Compassionate and polite, I couldn't give them enough praise. The food was great and I was comfy. I suffer from anxiety in new places but I was instantly made to feel welcome and will be going back...maybe tomorrow for the hot chocolate 👀

I stopped by for breakfast with some family recently, and was very impressed. It’s a very busy place, but they were efficient so we’re clearing tables and resetting quickly. The breakfast menu is huge, with a wide variety of dishes - so it was hard to choose. I was in the mood for a Full English and it was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and was piping hot. The service was friendly and it was a nice buzzy atmosphere. It’s clear to see why it’s so popular, and I will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes.

Went here with my partner for brunch on Friday - It was extremely busy but the service was truly exceptional. Every member of staff were just brilliant, from the initial welcome, information on the waiting time, flexibility with seating, taking the orders and then bringing the drinks and food. The staff here are truly a credit to the cafe. The food was excellent - I went for the potato hash which was delicious with the perfectly seasoned potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach. I didn't need to add any salt or pepper as it was just perfect. My partner had a traditional breakfast, which was again perfectly cooked, including her eggs. We ate outside with an outstanding view, the food was brought to us far more quickly than we had been told was the estimated time. There is a lot of seating choice - it was a hot day but great inside choice, seats in the sunshine, seats in the shade and the huts which we were informed on arrival do get hot on a warm day. We felt this was reasonably priced, the chefs are clearly talented and every member of staff were working hard in a busy environment to be welcoming and efficient. Highly recommended and we will return.

I have never seen a Christmas display as good as this, there was so much choice it just went on and on, the words amazing and outstanding, just don't convey how good this is, must have taken ages to put this together. I would have taken loads more pictures but you just need to go. 2024 update gone again will make this a yearly visit, another amazing set up, this is the best Christmas display I have seen anywhere, just go and see it, by the way there are some lovely cakes in the cafe there as well.

Visited quickly to get out of the cold weather and I'm so glad we did! The Christmas display was open, which took about 29 minutes to walk through with only minimal browsing, but you could easily spend an hour in there looking at the various displays they have open. Dog friendly and free to enter.

An amazing maize, maze one of the best around. What a pity it's the final maze this year. A wonderful attraction for all the family with all the usual facilities including a superb little cafe. Play area for younger children and very reasonably priced. Staff extremely friendly and helpful adding to the experience. The maze is open all summer until early September so get in there quickly for a brilliant day out!

I love this little place that has a larger personality especially around the holidays, nice food, nice helpful staff, and full of friendlyness. It gets bigger and louder during the holidays and summer months when it opens the play area and the maize maze. Lovely for families and children. I have to say it pleases my heart to see this place set up for children's outside play, they certainly keep you on your toes, even when you are not part of that group or party, it has a little downside life everywhere when is busy hearing can be an issue even when sat face to face, so if you're expecting a wee cuppa or coffee or lunch in peace or relative quite here, you honestly won't know until you get there. It's just lovely hearing the children and youths being a play outside and not attached to their phones or computers.

Went with my sister ( a local ) and daughter and granddaughter. Food was really lovely. Highly reccomend the quiche. The play area is safe and really well laid out. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit. We live over an hour away but do make a beeline for Blackmarsh Farm when visiting. Staff are lovely too.

Short but sweet visit. Great food and drink. Nice and quiet when I went, just what I wanted. Second visit, I had the full boatman. What a treat! I'm sure I ended up with a full tin of plum tomatoes! There's a huge choice on the menu, including lots of choice of what items to have for your breakfast. Great service. They prefer payment up front, which is fair enough these days.
