It was a while ago that i visited, but i once came for a milkshake on a hot day and lets say i was not dissapointed! The man who served me was incredibly kind and made polite chat whilst i waited, making me feel very welcomed. Then i left with my milkshake (i cant remember the flavour too well but i want to say it was caramel) and it was amazing! This was the first milkshake i had had in a while so i cannot compare it to many, but i loved it and would come back here again.

Worst Flat Whites Ever!

Ordered 2 flat whites. One Decaf and one regular.

Got charged £9.10
Every time I’ve had a Flat white previous they always come in a smaller cup.
They came in large cups and tasted of nothing.
Will not be going there again. Nearly £10 for warm milk.

Almost £10 for 2 coffees to take away ? But a £1 cheaper if you stay inside ? Bewildering .
Furthermore the service was abysmal. We were charged a large flat white when we didn’t even ask for a large . Flat whites only come in 1 size?

The decaf coffee tasted like dirt. They are truly taking advantage of this tourist destination . How embarrassing .
Hopefully the owner checks the reviews to make some adjustments… we don’t usually review but what a thorough disappointment

Absolutely awful man who served us, complained about the way we were sat and then put our hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows on the table making a derogatory comment about our appearance and advising we may want to see a GP about it, for info we are 2 size 14 ladies! Got a refund and left. Rude.

Stopped here on a cycle, for a toastie and coffee. Delicious toasty, came with our choice of chocolate and crisp. And the man running the place was extremely lovey and attentive. Would recommend!

Very attentive but low key service. Fantastic coffee, pannini and best of all dorset apple cake
Would thoroughly recommend, a little independent gem, thank you for your hospitality

Food ok, order taking man seemed like I was inconvenience. Similar when another chap turned up later. Maybe he was having off day as reviews I read pre were better

Very disappointing meal.

I ordered open sandwich Satay chicken. It was 5 sticks of clearly ready-prepared, supermarket-bought Fridge Raiders. Normally I eat anything! However The texture was horrible (not like normal chicken), incredibly salty and basically indelible...cost £9 for reformed chicken!

Fish fish sandwich was 2 deep fried, greasy, squashed fish fingers on a piece of bread with a bag of crisps for around £9

Cheese and tomato toastie was fine. 2 slices of bread, 3 tiny pieces of tomato and bit of cheese and a bag of crisps £9. The highlight of a disgusting meal

The woman working on the till was helpful and friendly. The man in the kitchen was rude.

New forest strawberries were amazing

Would definitely not return.
