Came here for a breakfast bap before work, I usually go to Greggs but heard good things so thought I’d give it a go. Was amazing yet still affordable. So good I went back a few days later to try the chicken burger with all the extras which was delicious 🤤

Really Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere inside. Food is also absolutely delicious. Great prices for the quality of the food. Only spent £18 on two meals two drinks and a brownie! I asked for ham on my Croissant instead of tomatoes as I don’t like them, they remembered this and put no tomatoes on my salad too! The little things made my experience great.

What a lovely little cafe, made even better by helpful and attentive staff. They were able to accommodate dietary requirements without fuss and were so nice! The people here clearly enjoy what they do and it shows.

The food was lovely. It was part of a party group I joined in with to celebrate a friends 80th birthday, which, while I was their, went very for everyone. We were all looked after, very well.

Absolutely adore this place. Makes our favourite chicken and bacon hot wraps, which are sublime and gorgeous cakes and tray bakes. Such a good range of fillings for baguettes too. Oh, and good coffee, tea AND smoothies too. Small place, but big on value and service. A gem of a place.

Hurrah for local Bakeries, They have more than one store in the area & like this unit are well staffed with charming people ready to share the tasty products. They have wonderful hot or cold savoury pastries. Pre or made to order sandwiches. You can get regular or artisan breads, wonderful cakes & sweet pastries & doughnuts. Oh and the tastiest lardy cake in the area, a rare delight not often on offer. You can order wedding & celebration cakes & hot & cold drinks. A must when in Shaftesbury.

My friend and I were new to English bakeries, so we sampled two items...each....then returned a day later and tried four more: a buttery chocolate twizzle, a glazed donut oozing custard, a flaky Coventry pasty, and a loaf of sourdough that was still excellent three days later. A kind server named Lisa attended to us with utmost patience as we scanned the large assortment of sweet and savory items with the decisiveness of children in a candy shop. Queuing next to us were a couple of cyclists who rode up all the way from Weymouth for a bacon bap.

Passed thru Shaftesbury today, stopped for a walk around and saw Reeve The Baker. Went in just after a snack, saw a Pork and chorizo sausage roll and a pasty. The super friendly guy at the counter asked if I needed a hand and I mentioned my conundrum. He said he recommends the sausage roll. So I got it. I also got the pasty.... 👀 Coming all the way from New Zealand, I never thought I'd find the greatest sausage roll I've ever had. But gosh darn, my mind was blown at how good it was. The pasty was also amazing. Would definitely return here if I pass thru town again.

A delicious mix of many yummy cakes, just too many to choose from but places the perfect setting while eating a scrumptious cake 😍 and walking down or up gold hill. This is after all the home of the Hovis advert.

Lovely that you were open Boxing Day to grab a tea and snack , the young man working is a real credit to your team, he was very polite and helpful, and he was working very hard keeping everything lovely and clean, ...Only one complaint there was a customer sat with a large red parrot ( no, not a joke ) ! And as someone who has had psittacosis , this is not exceptable when people are eating...

Thank you to the young men working today in Shaftesbury Costa today. I went in to buy two hot drinks for myself and my partner. It was my first day out since having COVID for the second time. While trying to order I completely got my wording wrong ordering the wrong drink! The gentleman taking my order was so kind as I got all my words wrong and forgetting the name of what I wanted. The kindness shown in the end by both of them was amazing. I hope you pass on my thanks. Claire

I am giving this five stars as the Store has been here from the early days of the chain. It has kept the Mission statement of the Company loyally since it opened. The Owners keep it well maintained & fitting to Shaftesbury. The HR seem to have a talent for selecting the right staff for the area. Inviting food greets you as you enter & keeps going until you reach the counter. Free news papers to read while enjoying your favourite beverage. The bathroom are well kept & there is seating outside. All together a nice coffee break from exploring this historic town.

The 2 guys working on Saturday at 4.50pm were extremely patient and helpful when we ordered 3 drinks just before them closing. Nothing was too much trouble, great people, 10/10.
