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

Had tea and coffee with a slice of cake vary pleasant

Such an inviting shop!! Friendly atmosphere and perfect for a drink and cake! Child was asleep so didnt have to share my gorgeous cake either!! Grabbed myself a bottle of wine and some beer for the other half too. Perfect!!

An asset to the village. A lovely friendly well-stocked shop, serving good tea and coffee, cakes and snacks, local fresh produce.There is also an excellent delivery service. They are happy to host a regular meat supplier on their forecourt. What more could a village want?

Wonderful village shop, selling local produce. Great friendly staff who also sell snacks & coffee. The cakes are baked locally on the village and are always fresh and tasty.

Margot has been running her cafe from this site about 8 years,so I have been many times in i think the last 7+ years... I live around 150 miles away,and hadn't been here since Christmas... So I got down about 06.30 this morning and had table booked for 09.30..... I can not fault this cafe,I tend to have the Spire Hill Grill and I have yet to have a bad bit of any meal. With the ever increase in cost of living,I was expecting it to be more expensive than Christmas 2022...but nope,same price,and I think it is amazing quality for a very reasonable price. I was with family that live in Dorset and visit this fantastic cafe often....in fact my sister was in the day before also. The staff are lovely...Margot (owner) is a true professional and has built her business up over the years,take look at the website,and the produce that have,home made jams etc etc,I understand they now have some of the produce selling in a local shop. The customers in the cafe are also friendly,and seem to know each other.... I did a review on TaT before,and I'm doing this update as and edit,my original is below. We had pot of tea and three coffees...the little milk bottles,the glass teapot are just examples of some of the things they do differently...and it all goes to show the love Margot has for food and service to her customers (friends) The head chef Eve (pink shorts ;) ) is also a little star,and has been with TaT from being tutored from as an apprentice to becoming head chef... And is a credit to Margot and to catering... We came away with a couple of pieces of home made cakes....and will enjoy later. I know before I arrive that the experience will be all I could reasonably expect,and could only ever leave a rate of 5 star.... Anything less...I'm my view is unjust. My original review below Brilliant cafe,I always try to visit when in area,it's a lovely place,great food,and staff are greatest

Fantastic gem of a cafe with a great selection of cakes and hot food. Margo the owner is forward thinking and the waiting staff Ollie and Gabby know how to make you feel seen and welcome. Will be back

A wonderful find hidden away at Stalbridge Dorset we have a warm welcome and could sit outside or in the restaurant area, the menu had a good range of meals and the homemade cake where to die for. I am fussy about coffee this was good roosted by readscoffee.co.uk.

We stopped off here for breakfast at the end of a weekend away as we’d heard from our hosts that they did good food and were dog friendly. The food was delicious and great value. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and we managed to pick up a couple of early Xmas presents for hampers as a bonus! Would highly recommend.

My family have stayed in The Farmhouse at Round Chimneys Farm several times now, it is amazing I can't recommend it highly enough, Rachel and her family are the best hosts, allowing my grandchildren to feed the lambs, collect the chicken eggs and have tractor rides! The Farmhouse is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, the house is spotless with beautiful white sheets and plenty of thick white towels, I have recommended many friends who have also been more than once.

Enjoyed a relaxed family stay cation is both the houses, it was A-MAZE-ING❤️All I can describe it was like being in a film. As a massive animal lover myself, I got to meet and greet all of the animals, they were beautiful and also a big thank you to the farmers/owners who were lovely and walked us around the farm. The cottage is clean tidy and always a joy to be in. Most definitely cannot wait to be back for next Christmas!!

A lovely laid back and helpful welcoming family that run the place. Thoroughly enjoyed staying there, stayed there with my family twice now and visited the cafe there once during the day. Ideal place for relaxation, scenery, and enjoying the cafe and seeing the farm animals. Highly recommend Edit. Clean and well equipped amenities too Thank you

Spent a long weekend here with my family celebrating a 50th birthday. Round Chimneys is a very well equipped, listed old period farmhouse situated on a working farm. Large bedrooms with really comfortable beds. warm central heating throughout with the added bonus of wood burners. The large kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. There are ample bathrooms situated over 3 levels with stairgates. There is a small games room with pool table and plenty of books, toys, games etc., free WiFi and the property is dog friendly. This house is hundreds of years old and furnished sympathetically. Don't expect the furnishings to be pristine, you could describe them as 'careworn' but I think it is in keeping with the style of this old building. There is plenty of parking close to the house which is set in stunning countryside. Owners are always on hand and are very friendly and welcoming. The small farmshop/cafe on site is worth a look. The lovely town of Sherborne is only a 15 minute drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

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! 🥞☕️🍰

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.

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

Nice little cafe serving excellent food and very friendly staff. The tables are very close to each other, so be mindful of that. Food was served quickly, and it appears to be a local favourite.

Good food, tea and scones. The staff are very nice and friendly.

Only had drinks here this visit. They were really good and we enjoyed our visit. Drinks were really worth the money

Delightful cafe with a good range of options on the menu and lovely choice of cakes. The quiches we had were delicious and I loved my mocha. Service is prompt and friendly.

What an interesting find. Antiques and other items displayed without the creepy feeling you get in some antique marts. The cafe is a real treasure - situate in this lovely old building. Good coffee, cakes and friendly, efficient service.

We came across this lovely place on our first visit to Sherborne. What a find! Fabulous and very interesting building with a cafe, beautiful shop, bar and art gallery incorporating an art school. We had lunch here and it was delicious. The staff are really lovely and efficient. The building is also dog friendly. We will definitely be back!

Delightful food and lovely atmosphere in this lovely old building. The Harissa chickpea salad bowl was tasty and well presented.

Incredible in every way. The building is stunning, the cafe staff are a delight from the welcome through to service and the food is second to none in Sherborne. The cocktail nights are also really fun, I can't recommend this venue enough.

Great coffee, pastries & sandwiches. Friendly staff.

A nice little spot to unwind, savor delicious food, and enjoy drinks if you’re in the vicinity.

Popped in for coffee with friends. It is run by a Master Baker and the photos of his cakes were amazing. If we get to move here, this would become a regular haunt.

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.

Good location on the edge of Sherborne to let the kids run and play while you sit comfortably in the old farm yard with a cake and coffee or maybe a light lunch.

Perfect day out with our grandson was made even more special by the beautiful food and lovely staff at Olivers. The clean counter was packed with fresh patisseries and we were pleased to see a selection of hot savoury food too because we were all hungry. The food was piping hot and I ordered egg salad/bacon on my jacket potato which was light and tasty and most importantly, the potato was not soggy and limp, but browned with a baked taste! The pecan slice was the best I have EVER eaten! Buttery shortbread and large, fresh pecans dripping in sauce! Extremely friendly staff - we will definitely go back.

Simply the best in Sherborne; fabulous host - Jane - great coffee, beer and cakes. Throughout lockdown they have supported voluntary organisations and diversified to excellent take away. Food is fabulous value and the surroundings are comfortable and staff welcoming; give it a try!

Only 2 vegan options on the menu, but they are really nice! Slightly on the pricey side but it's a lovely treat. I highly recommend their smoothies
