Went there this morning for brunch. I can hand on heart say they were the best poached eggs i have ever had. I come here with friends and have had variety of meals always cooked perfectly but these poached eggs with avocado and sourdough was perfection. Beautiful farm eggs with rich deep orange yokes. Had a lovely coffee too. Not to mention always served with friendly chat and a smile. Don’t go anywhere else for a lovely breakfast/brunch.

Came here for a late breakfast today after we were recommended it by a friend. Honestly blown away by the quality of food on offer for the prices they are charging! Chap who served us was full of beans and very happy to help. Music was a lovely change of pace with nice classics and goldies. 10/10 would come again and highly recommend to anyone local or passing through Dorchester. Will come back next time to try the Carvery!

This is the second takeaway carvery we have had in as many weeks. They can also cater for gluten free. Everything tasted amazing. Good choice of meats. Also good portion sizes, and probably the best gravy I've tasted. All the staff are friendly and it's also very clean inside. 10 out of 10

So glad we found this place. It's very rare for a place to really listen to specific requests for how you want your food cooked and your coffee. Everything came exactly as requested and truly delicious. Very impressed and will be coming as often as possible. Thank you for a fantastic breakfast experience

Best cooked breakfast in Dorchester. Make sure you go and try it. Ordered a small breakfast and everything was hot and cooked to order. It all tasted great. The people running the store are very welcoming and checked that we were enjoying our meal. You can have toast or fried bread. You can also add a few extras. If you like a big breakfast then you’ll want to order the bigger one. The cafe is freshly decorated and extremely clean. We will definitely be back for another breakfast, and try more of the menu.

The finest traditional cafe in Dorchester and in Dorset. Friendly, clean, welcoming and service to your table with no issues. The texture of the food is amazing no burnt grill tastes. This is our go to cafe.
