I'm not a fan of coffee snobbery, or bitter tasting Coffee. Thankfully Reads is neither! Super smooth brew, with welcoming and warm staff! Thanks team! See you soon for another morning 'pick me up'!

Tasty coffee beans! Making some wonderful V60 pourover coffee with the Columbian roast. They offer whole bean or ground, with decaf options (bought the sumatra decaf for my parents). The water in this area seems to make a great cup as well.

Been ordering their Sumatra Bourbon espresso beans among others for a while and very happy with the excellent quality. By chance on the way back from a trip to Sherborne Castle, I happened upon their premises. Very friendly and helpful, and bagged some up to order for me. Top notch all around.

Well we didn't believe there was a coffee stop here but low and below there is. What a great excuse to have a walk in that direction just so you can have a great cup of coffee and a hot chocolate, a friendly service and a nice stop all set in a rural location.. 🙂👍

Absolutely fantastic coffee! Always fresh roasted and packed with flavour, with a great selection. Nicaraguan is amazing. Packed well and delivered quickly, Reads is the only place we’ll buy from in future.

Great experience learning some new games with the staff speeding up the process by explaining the basic rules to us. Incredibly delicious pizzas - classic options like pepperoni and BBQ chicken and other more unique ones such as Mediterranean and spinach and mushroom. Booking is a must as it's a very popular venue and 3 hours is recommended as the time flies!!

UPDATE: Since I wrote the review below, Board Cafe have started doing food, and it is excellent. The sourdough pizzas are among the best we've had anywhere. You're here for the games, and they have a super selection of quality games in very good condition. You want to be guided in how to play new ones, and the staff are genuine enthusiasts and generous in the help they offer. You'll sustain yourself with decent drinks at a good price, and they've got that covered - the coffee is barista quality, and friends who like that sort of thing said they love the milkshakes. There are alcoholic treats, too ... perhaps for customers who aren't as competitive as us! They are building a kitchen upstairs to do food in future, and in the meantime they have been inventive with the cake selection and snack menu. We got the "three bowls for £5" offer this time - sour jelly sweets, chocolate buttons and Doritos, which helps create a party atmosphere. We've been here with a group of 10, twice in a group of 4 and today as a couple, and each time we've had a great experience (see picture of Wingspan, a lovely game based on the idea of building a bird reserve). Book your table in advance - this is a very popular place.

This was an incredibly fun and entertaining experience. They have every board game you could possibly want from quick casual games to prolonged involved experiences. The food is also good and sold at very reasonable prices. I can wholeheartedly endorse this location and I will be returning in the future.

The best place to go for a lovely morning of board games, coffee and cake. All of the games are in great condition, such helpful staff who explained all the rules and beautifully decorated. The drinks and cakes were also delicious. Will definitely be back!

Popped in for Brunch with 2 friends on a Friday afternoon. Fantastic and friendly service, food was amazing and a great selection of drinks. We sat outside as the sun was shining and it was truly a lovely place to be. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to anyone to go and try.

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!

Found by chance when perusing the menu of a more expensive establishment. Inside was too busy for nine of us but in the small yet quaint courtyard we managed to shuffle a few tables together to accommodate our needs. The food was delicious and reasonably priced... the pot of tea was enormous and required a strong arm to lift and pour! The staff were very friendly especially one gentleman in particular who instigated much banter. Would definitely visit again... highly recommended.

Just had another fabulous breakfast with my husband. Salmon and scrambled eggs were superb! Staff friendly and welcoming as always, making a point of chatting to every customer...... even the teenage lad serving today. We'll definitely visit again. If you're ever in the vicinity you must give them a try.... but be prepared to wait for a table.

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

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for months. We’re regulars here because it’s fresh quality food served by lovely people. When we moved back to the UK from California we were pretty down on the healthy food options locally, but then we found Healthy Habits. So glad to have this on our doorstep and will keep coming back for the food, superb coffee and top notch service.

Came for a leisurely coffee but ended up treating myself to the Rarebit! It was DELICIOUS! 😋 The only negative thing was there wasn't more of the tasty side salad (so so good ) 😁 I am super happy to have found such a gem in a local area 🙌 Ps the service was so friendly - thank you

We visit Café Gardenia frequently and always enjoy it. The food is lovely and the service is always great and with a smile. When my daughters visit they enjoy it and love the selection of meals available. Having an outdoor and a covered outdoor area is really good as you have plenty of choices of where to sit.

Very nice layout of the tables and also a lot of seating area, I don’t think this place will ever be fully full! Garden area is quite large however is surrounded by buildings. Service was fast and food came quick, pancakes were very tasty and ciabatta was nice however a few more crisps and salad would’ve been nice. Staff were kind and showed us a table and welcomed us nicely. Went during eat out to help out and was nice and cheap.

Potters cafe is easy to miss, tucked down a side street off the main drag, but it's a bit of a hidden gem. There is seating upstairs as well as a beautiful garden. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and prompt with serving. Their is a selection of regular lunch time options as well as cooked breakfasts and a ever changing specials board. The food is always excellent quality and large portions. I ordered the batters cod with chips and salad (see photo). The fish was good, fresh and the batter was wonderful, chips were pretty good too however could have done with a few seconds less in the frier. Prices are on the more expensive side however I think the food warrants it. Over all great place for lunch after working up and appetite shopping.

Really excellent. As someone who also owns a small independent cafe, Potters is one of the best I have visited. Lovely food( club sandwich) almost too much to finish, and I’m a big eater. Very attentive staff, and extremely good value for money. All round an excellent little cafe.

Beautiful place with a lovely bustling quirky atmosphere. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Managed to find us a table for breakfast inside on a busy Saturday morning, and provided us with a take out cup for my coffee which I hadn't finished by the time we were leaving. Lovely outside seating area. Lots of choice for breakfast. When the full English was brought over it looked like something was missing, we checked the menu and everything was present that was advertised. We then realised it was missing Baked Beans!!! We feel this is a staple element of any Full English, and wouldn't cost much for them to include this. The poached eggs were on the under side of perfectly cooked, so was just edible. An enjoyable visit.

An incredible hidden gem! Staff were so helpful and friendly. Having a large booking they rang the day before to confirm brought over extra chairs when required as well. The food was incredible the portions don’t look big but I left so full and having had the best time! The dishes were so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and had one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. Only criticism is for the scones more jam and cream required on the afternoon teas but it was still delicious nonetheless.
