We came here for breakfast for my mum's birthday and it did not disappoint! The ingredients are of the highest quality, everything was cooked perfectly and the coffee was great. We were a table of 7 adults and a highchair, and the service was incredibly friendly and professional. The outdoor tables with a view were a perfect way to finish our morning with a coffee and a cannoli. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we look forward to returning soon!

Fabulous! One of the best coffee stops for cyclists in this corner of Dorset. We're always made very welcome. Great service, great coffee and a lovely selection of food. Great coffee and pastries. A lovely friendly atmosphere, I keep meaning to visit when I'm not on a bike.

“Very rarely write reviews but I just had to say what an amazing lunch I’ve just enjoyed. Feeling the need to treat myself I bought a roast beef and horseradish sandwich and a piece of Bakewell cake. The beef was slightly rare (just how it should be) and just melted in the mouth, it was a very full sandwich. The cake was moist and absolutely delicious. £9 for the two items for the amount and quality was very good value. This deli is exactly why I like to support independent shops. Thank you for making my lunch time treat exceptional.”

“Amazing place to eat for a special meal or to find great seafood. We had the chowder on special for starter which was insane! Fish pie was lovely but the prawn curry was to die for. Will be returning 10/10! Also lovely interiors, nice atmosphere and staff were lovely, attentive and ensured we had enough room with our dogs”

“Excellent find!…came across this farm shop by chance…well stocked with lots of fresh local produce and wide range of chilled food items. Helpful staff who go above and beyond. Full covid19 precautions are in place (masks required upon entering). Cafe adjacent to the farm shop offers a reasonable menu including all the usual favourites such as cream tea. Coffee tasted good and the Dorset Apple Cake was first class. Play area for children and stunning uninterrupted views across Dorset. Family run business which shows. Ample parking and full disability access. Outside portaloo only available at this time which would not be accessible for disabled customers. Highly recommend. Will visit again. 😀”

“This is easily becoming my favourite cafe in Weymouth. The location is great, just moments from the harbour side in the bustling brewers quay area. They have a sizeable outside seating area for those dry days and a cosy dining area inside. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and lovely with our children, they are always offered colouring books and numerous high chairs are available. Now the food...it is lovely. It is all vegetarian or vegan, but even as a meat lover I always find something to eat. A personal favourite is the poutine, fries with melted cheese covered in the most delicious mushroom gravy - it is gorgeous! The extensive waffle menu is a firm hit with all ages, with choices to suit all. From waffles doused in chocolate to lovely fruit toppings. If you are in the area, I would wholeheartedly suggest you pop by for lunch.”
