The Best Cafes in Kington Magna, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

An unplanned lunch stop as the local pub, The Jolly Huntsman is not open lunch times (our fault we should have checked more closely and we had walked from a local camp site). The cafe was busy and the atmosphere lively. Had a lovely lunch of toasted Panini’s and chips. Food was good and luckily sold alcohol. Food was an excellent price. Staff were lovely and we enjoyed good service. We were quite glad that the pub was shut for lunch in the end.

A really lovely cafe, freshly cooked quality ingredients! 2nd visit for breakfast worth making a detour for!

Really lovely cafe, with a great atmosphere. The owners Gavin and Lisa do a fantastic job. The food and coffee is always amazing!

Stopped and enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch and were even able to accommodate a vegetarian meal at short notice. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly.

Great place and wonderful service. Nice and cosy.

A superb Cafe adjacent to the Green Man Pub serving great coffee,cakes and light bites. This is a regular stop for many, myself included. I can thoroughly recommend it to one and all.

Popped in on my way back home great coffee and cake to accompany me on my journey.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident - a new, beautifully designed coffee shop added to the local pub. Perfect coffee and cakes and lots of outdoor tables so dog friendly, and super friendly service. Recommended!

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

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.

Good food, great location just be aware of seagulls! I wasn't but when half my burger was eaten by one it was replaced free of charge which was very nice. :)

Perfect breakfast experience. Very nice staff. Great food. Couldn’t be better

Visited today for the first time and it exceeded my expectations! The layout is comfortable and it has a really cosy atmosphere. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The menu options were varied and prices very reasonable. The food came out quickly and was presented really well. Great portion sizes too! Very delicious and would highly recommend!

A lovely small cafe, lots of seating inside and a menu full of delicious things! The service was great and food didn’t take too long to arrive. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic staff, nice menu with good range and plenty of gluten free options. Well worth a visit.

The feed station team did an amazing job with hosting my mums surprise 60th Birthday, Amanda and Chris were super helpful and were very accommodating to what I wanted. The food was delicious and the Venue beautiful, they made a beautiful birthday cake especially for the occasion decorated to how I wanted with flowers. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job, I would highly recommend and will be back again soon!

My god, this is a find. My husband loved the breakfast wrap and I had the biggest most tasty salad ever, you basically pick from a list to make your perfect salad. It's in an odd place, in an industrial estate, but once you're inside, the atmosphere and layout makes you feel you're in a farm shop. Gentle music, comfy well spaced tables. We will definitely make this a regular visit and add it to our "places" for lunch or coffee and cake.

Had some lovely food here after browsing in the Grainstore emporium. A good selection of homemade cakes and hot drinks, with hot food on offer too. I had the vegan breakfast wrap which I can definitely recommend.

Stopped here unexpectedly for brunch. Ordered meaty breakfast wrap and bacon sandwich and 2 coffees. Asked for bacon to be well done and no problem. Everything came out beautifully cooked and very tasty. Only let down were 2 families who deemed it totally acceptable to let their young children run around screaming whilst everyone else was trying to enjoy a nice brunch. Totally ignorant.

Wonderful little place to stop for breakfast. Food was tasty and decently priced!

Our top breakfast choice when we’re around Boscombe. There’s plenty of choice on the menu, with options to suit meat eaters, vegetarian and vegan guests - I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve had at Boscanova, but it’s their American style pancakes that keeps us coming back! Never had anything elsewhere that even comes close!

Staying over in Bournemouth for the weekend so came here for a good morning breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed, lovely culture and good food! Tried the London Fog and it actually surprised me - a one of a kind drink!

Fantastic local cafe with super friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and a chilled yet vibrant atmosphere that you feel welcome in instantly. On a Sunday morning you may have to wait for a table as they are super busy but it’s worth the wait. My husband and I both went for the Full English, the produce was of great quality with full flavour, cook very well and served with a smile, you can’t go wrong. We will be back for the pancakes next!

Food was lovely, staff are friendly. Only reason i am giving 4 stars is because they brought out my family’s food then I had to wait for mine & then they got my order wrong and brought out the wrong food, so I had to wait even longer, whilst my family had already eaten their meals. That’s the only negative. Food was still tasty & I wouldn’t let this put me off returning

What a gem of a place! Friendly staff, great coffee and breakfast and stunning venue/ atmosphere.

Best coffee for miles, in a county where it’s tricky to find a decent flat white. Coffee is advertised as ‘Aussie style’. At least four types of hot chocolate, made properly. Dogs and kids welcomed. Nice staff. Outdoor and in-barn seating

Such a lovely cafe with the most friendly staff. Dogs are allowed and the Olympics was being shown on the TV. Our food was alright, but there wasn’t a huge choice on the menu. It looks as though the weekends have a bigger variety for food if that’s what you’re planning to come in for.

Such a beautiful place. Most delicious full English brekkie (smaller options also available). Super friendly for people and doggies. Cakes looked amazing too though far too full to sample any.

I live 1hr 30mins away and had earmarked it as a stop off after a walk along the Ridge. The service was great from the off; friendly amd welcoming, and the full English breakfast was the best I've had. The sausages were fantastic and everything was cooked perfectly. Great coffee too..so much so I had a second. The Cattle Shed is a beautiful building, the log burner was on, and it was tastefully decorated from Christmas. I wouldn't hesitate to pop in again next time I'm out that way, and perhaps an overnight (or 2), stay would be on the cards...

Visited while on a local motorbike ride with my daughter. High quality food and friendly service. At the end of the meal we were not asked at the table whether we wanted anything else (I fancied another coffee!) but that's nothing major. Great atmosphere in a lovely setting and prices are reasonable for excellent food. Will definitely visit again.

First thing to say is, certainly on a Sunday, book. We were fortunate to walk in and get a cancellation but saw a few people turned away as booked up. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the setting is great and the food was fantastic and more than enough!! You have the Python's Arms (Google it) next door if you fancy a drink.

We had a baby shower for my sister at The Cow Shed in their Barn area on Saturday, and it was perfect - everything we had hoped for! The staff were so helpful, both in the lead-up to the event and on the actual day. The barn itself is really picturesque, which was perfect for photos. We opted for a cream tea with both sweet and savory scones, and it was lovely. We paid per head for drinks, which guests could get from the private bar as and when they wished. There was plenty of room for games ect too. We couldn't recommend it more. We had the most special afternoon celebrating our new arrival with family and friends. A big thank you to The Cow Shed Team 🤍

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.

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.

Really delicious cake and the best Vanilla latte, childrens hot chocolate served child friendly. Definitely a find

Little community cafe. Friendly staff good price we had to cheese and beans baked potatoes and a fizzy drink £14. Happy days 😁

Stopped at this lovely cafe 110km along my bikeride from Bristol to Manchester. The staff were very kind, and the hearty food sorted me out on my travels for many miles. Thankyou very much from Bristol:)

Great coffee and flapjack after walking in the hills. Carpark nearby.
