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

Wonderful cafe. Lo made us very welcome which is especially appreciated as not all cafes like mountain bikers. She set aside a table for us. The cafe was wonderfully warm, while the weather outside was freezing. The food was excellent & the coffee especially good. We had a great time and we will be back

Lo's Coffee Shop knows how to turn a Saturday evening into something legendary. We waltzed in as the Wonky Donkeys took the stage – I mean, talk about timing! The night transformed into an epic adventure, with food that could rival any gourmet joint, a great beverage selection and an atmosphere that had me wondering if Hogwarts' enchantment spilled over to this corner. The live music by the Wonky Donkeys? Let's just say they added more magic than a wand-waving wizard. And don't even get me started on the dog-friendly vibes – these folks deserve a round of applause for that. Oh, and the staff? Superheroes in aprons, no doubt. Seating's outdoors, but thank the coffee gods for those blankets that turned into cozy capes as the evening cooled. And if you think the magic stops at night, think again – they've got daytime delights too, from light bites to a coffee selection that could make a barista blush. Trust me, I've got my loyalty card ready because Lo's Coffee Shop just earned a top spot on my map of favorites.

Lo and her team are wonderful! Incredible venue, delicious pancake breakfast and unique cake selection. They also have a great music playlist! 🎶 Highly recommend this truly relaxed coffee shop! 🥞☕️🍰

Definitely the breakfast 🥞 🍳🥓 gem of Blandford Town. Great coffee ☕️, great service and wonderful food.

Brilliant service, bacon or egg roll great coffee, great atmosphere fantastic cake really good, nice and quite service with a smile.so 2 years on still fantastic Lucy has glided along in the lockdowns serving lots of takeaways and delivery were trying her curry tonight bought today keep it up.so 2 years on still fantastic great fun to start the day lovely coffee and the new menu awesome i would say if you do have a issue speak up Lucy will gladly look in to it or sort it out there and then rather than leave a moan where she has no idea what and who it was

Big breakfast 😋 excellent 👌 presentation & flavours mouthwatering and well cooked Lucy's is well worth a visit, off the high street in Tabernackle Walk 🚶‍♀️

I still think about the sourdough sandwich I had here! It was AMAZING! SO delicious. The sourdough they use is such high quality and the girl here was really nice and was happy to take out the mayo and do a tuna/avo sandwich for me. My mum had the cake which she said was great too. Best cafe in the town by far!

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.

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.

Great little place for a cuppa and a cake. Friendly and close to some nice walks. Chickens seemed to enjoy our company and there was lots of choice including lovely fresh produce and plants.

Very pleased we called in here whilst visiting local Abbey (which is excellent) and the charming Chapel in the woods. Good food and very nice hot chocolate. Marvellous selection of fresh food in the farm shop and lots of local products. Look out for the many cats. They keep the key for the chapel here and also have an informative folder of information on the history of the Chapel.

Great find, can't wait to return for the evening openings with my motorbike friends,bring it on..🏍️💯🏍️

Lovely home cooked food. Friendly staff, definitely worth a visit

Delicious food, coffee, and milkshakes. Friendliest staff and noticed they are breastfeeding friendly! Super cute inside and everything looked amazing.

Excellent cafe! Delicious food & drink and extremely friendly service. Great vegan options! Highly recommended 😊

The service was great and the guys are friendly and polite. The coffee was very good, the cafe is very clean and the loo is spotless, I did see the kitchen as someone came out, spotless (yes I’m nosey!) I had the Welsh rarebit I like a stronger cheese and my toast was cold, this is a personal thing, they did ask if it was ok and I said yes! Would I go back yes, would I recommend yes . Would I have Welsh rarebit again no ! The ice cream is delicious and would definitely have again.

Myself and my partner went to this lovely cafe in Blandford, Jackie was lovely and her selection of cakes 🎂 🥮 were really tasty. Well worth the visit.

Popped into this café for a coffee stop during the afternoon. I had previously visited maybe a year or two ago but the inside was not as I remembered it. It turns out there has been a new owner hence the changes. Whilst I didn’t eat this time, looking at what’s on offer, I will be back. Oh, and the coffee was great btw.

Great place for soup and a scone and delicious cakes, especially the carrot cake. Service lovely. Will return.

A beautiful little café which is bright, cozy and welcoming. The coffee was delicious and the display of cakes makes it very difficult to choose. We settled on the chocolate brownie and it was definitely a wise choice. The staff were friendly and helpful in their recommendations, if you are in the area this café is a must!

Highly recommend a visit here. Wonderful restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Staff are polite, professional and helpful. Food is absolutely gorgeous. Rich opulent flavours that deliver absolute joy on a plate. Fantastic place if you're on your own, having a date or meeting up with a friend or group to celebrate a special occasion. I always check out the toilets in restaurants because it says a lot about the hygiene of the place. I found them to be clean and tidy. I will be visiting again for some truly unforgettable pasta! Thanks team La Vita.

I'm from Australia and visited with local friends when passing through this part of England. I believe the restaurant is relatively new but it didn't matter as the service was first right and the food and beverage offerings were really impressive. A wide range of offerings on the menu and you won't be disappointed if you come here after authentic delicious Italian food.

The restaurant was nice and clean. The food was lovely, my pizza was delicious. The only down side is they don’t serve any ale! The parking was easy , just around the corner.

Absolutely gorgeous little local Italian restaurant. The staff are friendly and know how to deliver excellent service. The food was simply divine. This restaurant has luxury tasting food for a good price. I cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be back x

Amazing food, Amazing ambience and Great service. There was no waiting time, even though the place was filled on a Wednesday morning 10am. Great bunch of ppl running the place. The cowshed breakfast was a delight. The hash browns was one of the best i have tried in UK. Overall, it is highly recommended.

First visit to the restaurant. I was very impressed with our server, who suggested we could move to the adjacent barn where it would be leas noisy. He was right. It was😎. Food quality was excellent. Also, I was very impressed with the general cleanliness. Toilets were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this place. 👍

Had the pleasure of visiting here last Sunday we arrived just after 10 and there were already quite a few people here. Offered seating inside or out, we ordered coffees which were very good and then I chose the homemade granola bowl which was absolutely delicious (it was also huge!) my husband chose the Mexican open flatbread which looked amazing, which he said was really good. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The pub itself is a historic building, beautiful area and fantastic food and drink. Some might say it's expensive, but when you learn where the ingredients come from and the owners care and devotion it's a whole experience. I can't comment on the rooms as I've never used them.

We didn't stay here in accomodation as we stayed about a 5min walk away. The staff we excellent and the food was amazing. Although they run out of white bait as a starter the chef offered a mix of calamari and what white bait was left. Can't fault the food and the staff. As a table of 11 it was amazing and they were hosting a party also. Well done to all staff on Saturday night. Oh if you visit, I would recommend the scotch egg starter, stunning. Well done

We booked a last minute room last night as we were meant to stay at the Royal Oak but they messed up and sold our room to someone else. So we were panicking as we were 4hours away from home at 18:30pm. I found the Langton arms on booking.com and immediately booked it. We had a warm welcome and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay lovely. The food was amazing and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Thank you to everyone at the Langton arms for making what was stressed and sad night to a one that we will never forget. And we are truly hoping to be back in the future!

Decent food, excellent friendly service. Went here for group Sunday pub lunch following a walk. Food was cooked to a good standard and staff were very accommodating without being fussy. However the meal felt slightly on the pricey side (over £10 for most starters and £22± for most main courses) . Would otherwise be happy to recommend. Thank you

Stopped off on a whim having originally planned just coffee and cake. Ended up having a full roast each! Great portions, fantastic price and lovely food. Service warm and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Just had the most delicious Sunday Roast and Eton Mess. Amazing service and home cooked style food. My new favourite place! 🌷🌷🌷

Not fine dining.....but definitely good grub. Generously portioned homemade and homecooked dishes. Steak pie with veg and roast potatoes was more than I could finish and as a butchers son I'm picky about the quality of meat used. Great value at £10. Won't be our last visit..."we'll be back"!!

For me, it is an old school restaurant. Home cooked food . Special of the days, roast dinner daily. Fry up, pies. Fresh cakes, cheesecakes. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Even when I didn't get some I asked for, I said not to worry, they still done it. Pricing was good for this day with the cost of living. Sad, we keep losing these little gems. Great work, Sugar loaf.
