Absolutely adorable little cafe with the sweetest service, great prices and really yummy food! Forgot to take a picture of my BLT but my partner had mushrooms, eggs and avocado on toast and we both loved every bite! Will definitely be back :)

Had some delicious food here for brunch , made by chef Maria. Was extremely tasty!
Rating: 4 / 5
Friendly accommodating staff were good about my girlfriend's allergies and swapping ingredients round. The food was also good and tasty. Only gripe was the full breakfast coming with only one slice of toast which wasn't anywhere near enough to soak up all the breakfast goodies - surely 2 slices a minimum! Offering breakfast with a hot drink like some places do would have definitely got 5 stars. Would go again.

Market Cafe in Dorchester is Great for a Breakfast but Awesome for the Sunday Carvery. Great Portions and tasty plus Hot with Super Friendly Service
Rating: 5 / 5
Tried this cafe for the first time yesterday. Probably one of the best breakfasts in Dorchester! Wherever I go my wife and I always like well done bacon and there’s only a few places that actually understand what well done bacon is, so we always go overboard when asking for it to be very very very well done. The chef overheard this and assured me the bacon would be nice. The bacon was perfect, and the rest of the breakfast was lovely. Top notch breakfast and a proper cafe. Well done everyone involved.

Best cooked breakfast in Dorchester. Make sure you go and try it. Ordered a small breakfast and everything was hot and cooked to order. It all tasted great. The people running the store are very welcoming and checked that we were enjoying our meal. You can have toast or fried bread. You can also add a few extras. If you like a big breakfast then you’ll want to order the bigger one. The cafe is freshly decorated and extremely clean. We will definitely be back for another breakfast, and try more of the menu.

Called in today with some mates on motorbikes, it had been raining and we were soggy. We were made very welcome by the staff and after some good food and coffee we were warm enough to carry on. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Plenty of space, plenty of parking, good food and a warm welcome. What more could you ask for.

Coffee and cake stop with granddaughter while visiting the adventure playground. Really good coffee and tasty cakes.
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent place to go for warm and freshly-made food and drinks. It's at a great location and when the park opens up, it will be the ideal spot for everyone. Definitely recommend going. I also work here and the staff and the customers are always so friendly and both parties are always so understanding no matter the circumstance.

It is great, service can be slow, especially if unexpectedly busy in town. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Cakes are great. The specials are always lovely, and made with care, which adds to the slower service.
Rating: 5 / 5

We've been visiting here a lot recently while we refurb our cafe and the staff are all very polite and friendly. Depending on who's working in the morning, you may even get to start your day with a motivational speech too 😆😉
Rating: 4 / 5
Very nicely decorated Nero with some lovely comfy seating in and near the windows at the front. A lot more seating at the back too. Staff friendly and both our coffee and hot chocolate were hot and beautifully made. Very happy with our visit.

Our normal go-to for familiar coffee when in Dorchester town. Often a fairly long queue even when not full up, but coffee and other drinks are always great. Staff are friendly, and always seem to be working through queues as fast as they can. Tough to use the app at times due to bad signal in Dorchester. Not staff's fault, but annoying that many promotions are app based, but tough to be able to use.

Coffee#1 Dorchester

Great coffee, friendly service and really yummy cake. I had coffee and walnut cake and it was perfect. Staff were very helful and order was ready very quickly. Be sure to check out the wall of fame.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great little coffee shop, staff are very pleasant. There is a good loyalty card/app scheme. Fabulous choice of beverages and even has its own *secret" menu. Good selection of items to choose from. Nice to see that calories are available next to the items, making it easy to check if you are on a specific diet. Meaning informed choices than trying to second guess, which meant my friend was able to enjoy their sweet treat even more as they were able to factor it into their daily requirements. The triple chocolate brownie is exceptionally tasty if i say so myself and a fiem favourite for me. Only downside because Coffee#1 is so good, you find yourself having to clear a table to sit at. Which is why I've marked it as a 4 star for atmosphere. The tables need clearing and wiping down more frequently as it is sometimes a struggle to get a clean table to sit at. Small, but a pleasant outside area to sit and watch the world go by.

Cheerful, airy café restaurant right by the Trinity Street C2 bus stop. Good, plain food - excellent, friendly, very fast service. Quite wide choice of dishes, with just enough veggie options. Recommended for a quick bite on a shopping expedition!

My wife and I Had a lovely afternoon In Dorchester on Friday. Made even more special by the lovely customer service we received when we visited Poppins Restaurant. Everyone was lovely. Food was great we went with a jacket potato for lunch followed by a slice of lemon meringue pie. We have now visited 16 of the Poppins restaurants out of the 34. And this is the best yet. Xx

Costa Coffee

Rating: 4 (478) Price Level:
Set on the corn Hill , which is the fully pedestrian street in Dorchester,this Costa is the one diagonally opposite the large Boots chemist store. More seating than the premises looks like from the front...past the counter there is a LOT of seating, also huge upstairs that's spacious,calm. Toilets clean . Would I go there again...yes.

Costa’s coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops. One can find them in every corner of UK. The coffee here was as good as it is at Costa coffee and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The newly renovated shop is clean and hygienic and looks very decent. Costa serves one of the best coffee.

Very quiet as I went in early but the service was excellent and my sugar free gingerbread, decaf, oat milk latte was delicious. I also ordered a mince pie as, well, it is almost Christmas! Very good around, competitively priced but not cheap.
