Fabulous Addition To Swanage

Don’t live too far from Swanage, however not visited for a little while & on noticing this new addition thought it looked good enough to give it a try. Good kerb appeal from the outside & once we’d found out it was doggy friendly decided...on a sit down lunch (we were just going to grab a takeout) Inside is very nicely decorated with comfy seating areas. Staff really friendly & helpful throughout our visit. We had a homemade sausage roll with fries & a chicken caesar salad with a couple of coffees. Coffee was great strong & flavoursome. Sausage roll & fries ( I was told were excellent) Salad was outstanding a huge plateful & a great sized pieces of chicken & croutons on the top. I also asked for the dressing to be on the side, which they were happy to oblige with. Really excellent value for money. There were constant queues for bread & takeaway food while we were there, which is not a surprise as it all looked excellent. Wishing the owners every success.More

Excellent bakery

Wow what a fabulous bakery! We stopped by chance for lunch on a day trip whilst on holiday and we weren’t disappointed. There was a little wait for food as it’s freshly cooked. We had a chicken wrap and an omelette and both were excellent,...lots of taste and good quality ingredients. The atmosphere was relaxed and staff friendly. Such a shame this isn’t near to where we live! Highly recommended.More

Warm welcome from an excellent bakery

We were on a day trip to Swanage and were attracted by the display of cakes and bakes in this lovely clean and welcoming bakery/cafe. It was worth the 80mile drive for the warm welcome we received from the staff and the excellent coffee and...cake. The breakfasts looked good too. We’ll be back.More

Lovely bakery. Worth a visit.

Lovely bakery. Nice and clean. Cakes and bakes well displayed. We bought a couple of batches of Dorset apple cake, courgette, coconut & lime cake and chocolate & banana cake. Some interesting and unusual cakes to choose from. At very reasonable prices for the size...of cake you get. Very friendly staff. Hot tip - if you want to buy Dorset apple cake - get there early as it's very popular!More

Tasty breakfast

We have been here quite a few times. A sign of a good breakfast is a tasty good quality sausage which is what they serve here! Efficient, friendly service. Not hurried but equally we were not left waiting.
