Reviews
Went on an adventure for a birthday trip and came across this little cafe. The staff were so welcoming, the cafe was clean bright and tidy. Only had cheese scones and a cuppa. But I can’t put into words how delicious the scones were! Would have bought more to take home but they sold out within an hour of baking them!
My wife and I called in for morning coffee and did not have to wait for a table. The waitress was polite and friendly. My wife had a flapjack and I had the best cheese scone I have ever tasted - plenty of cheese, not too doughy, a real treat. You can pay cash or by card and covid measures were in place. Whilst we didn't have anything more substantial, there was plenty on offer, both to have in or to take away, as well as other things you could buy.
I visited for the first time last week. Having recently had a kidney transplant and being on some pretty heavy meds, I was exhausted and more than a little out of it. I kind of half fell through the door and said 'I need a drink and a sandwich or something', I must have looked like a mad woman. The staff barely batted an eye and were so friendly and accommodating.
I got a delicious sandwich and drink to take away, served with a smile, and at a very reasonable price considering the quality.
The sandwich was really yummy, and I'm not just saying that because I was hungry.
I'll definitely be back, hopefully a bit more together in myself and I highly recommend.
Lovely place. My new fave in Sherborne.
Picked The Pear Tree for breakfast on the strength of its reviews and found it fully deserving of its 4.7 average rating. The service was great and the staff exceptionally friendly. The scrambled eggs and croissant above average and the coffee excellent. I will be back next time I need breakfast or coffee in Sherborne.
Fabulous gluten free pear & ginger cake plus 3 other gluten free options. Dog friendly. Quick and friendly service. Open on a Sunday. Small deli counter selling local cheeses plus takeaway cold drinks & a frozen deli cabinet. Table reservations possible. Local artwork for sale on the walls. Small seating area outside. Very handily placed just across from the Abbey.

"The best coffee house in Sherborne….maybe the whole of Dorset. G and Alex are wonderful blokes who are chatty, friendly and really know their coffee..."
