The 30 best coffee shops and best cafes in New Milton

Classic barn style tea room interior but modern function. Food was delish and surprisingly fast service too and yet the quality didn't suffer. The food choices where plentiful with a wide variety from vegan to carnivor. Highly recommend a stop here for lunch will come again. Thank you very much

We stopped here on our way to Dorset. Parking is close by, and it's very close to the main route. This is a classy, sustainable eatery, with a great menu. The service was very quick and the food was excellent. Ordering and paying is done by QR code, a little pricey, but probably worth it. Very enjoyable!

very nice cafe/eatery, coffee is exelant, and they have a varied and interesting menu. the staff are very friendly, quick and efficient service. plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. only thing is, the toilets are upstairs so not accessible for disabled. but there are excellent public toilets just around the corner. I must apologise there are toilets downstairs at this venue. Which makes it a perfect spot. Called in again today, yet again first class, friendly service. No hesitation in recommending this place. 🥰

Lovey Brunch! Tried the Mexican Eggs and was lovely! Always have to have the Hash browns they are so so good! Great service and to wait for a table of 4 for only a few moments. Speed of food was really quick. Lovely.

Stopped in for brunch, and received a delightful spread of pancakes, eggs and avo! All the staff were fabulous and so friendly! Amy was especially helpful!

This is a decent local coffee shop with plenty of seats. Ordering can be done at the till or via a QR code. My Americano coffee was decent. The cake was good too but I've docked a point because it was a bit on the small side.

Popped in on a Friday morning, it was lovely and sunny and there was option to sit indoors or outdoors. The food was delicious and came quickly. The service was incredible and attentive, Amy helped us and was lovely!

Like other reviewers we enjoyed our visit. Very popular in summer with New Forest visitors and dog friendly. Very nice people, they are attentive and welcoming. Varied menu to suit all tastes with good vegetarian and vegan options, and of course excellent bacon sandwiches! Came back for another lunch and had the Station Master Welsh Rarebit. A real treat, the menu said a slice of ham hidden underneath and I guess you would expect the thin supermarket stuff but what I got was a thick hand cut wedge of juicy baked ham , just outstandingly delicious!

an old station of the former railway is now a wonderful tea room and pitstop in the New Forest. Excellent array of cakes and savoury .Staff friendly and welcoming with prompt service. Worth a visit if in the area. I would reserve for large tables so they know to expect.

Me and my wife went there for breakfast on a Sunday morning before we went for a local walk in the forest. The full English breakfast was high quality and reasonably priced for the lovely produce. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the station setting was awesome. We will definitely come back when we return to the New Forest.

I've been coming to homesley tea rooms for many years now it's a absolute gem the food, staff, are outstanding there's a vast menu the cream teas are out of this world I don't think you could get better keep up the outstanding service you provided can't wait until my next visit.

Fantastic place for lunch. We've eaten here several times over the years as a family. Good quality food, at a reasonable price, served with a smile. The cakes and pastries are worth a visit alone, particularly the rather excellent Lemon Meringue pie. Decent coffee! Dog friendly as long as you're sitting outdoors, not quite sure if they're allowed inside. Ample parking, although sometimes it's very busy so can be hard to find a spot, ditto for getting a table, but you can make a reservation on their website.

Very good sandwiches and cake. Lovely staff. Railway memorabilia galore.

As always a pleasure to visit. I visit mostly with my mother who has dementia and however busy it gets there's always a warm welcome. Food consistent high quality, atmosphere and background music perfect for the feel of an old station. Love it.

Popped in here on a recommendation from a friend who stayed here. Didn’t have nothing to eat but Everyone was happy and the staff were really helpful and courteous. Around at the back is where you can purchase the Cider, which is recommended. Reasonable prices considering its home grown produce. Plenty of parking. Came here again in December 2024 the cafe is now closed but the pantry around the back is still open.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast stop. The food was amazing. Plenty of choice catering for all tastes. Staff very helpful, plesent & the place had a very warm & welcoming atmosphere. Also enjoyed our look around the shop, purchased some lovely ciders, juices & honeycomb some as gifts & some for home consumption. Would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely visit again when we holiday in New Forest.

Went here after taking a cycle ride around the forest. Situated just up the hill from the cycle hire hut. Blink and you'll miss it though. We sat outside to catch some sun. We both had the cream tea with mixed scones. Tea and scones were good. However, the public convenience (male) was not clean, I think someone had had a misshap and it hadn't been seen to. The food and cake were a fair price and good price. I would recommend a stop here after a bike ride for a refreshing cupper.

Lovely cafe and cider shop just a short walk from Burley village with great food and cider, nice outdoor seating and friendly staff. Our go to cafe in the New Forest.

Tasty new Forest cider, (other drinks are available, as well as soft drinks and tea & coffee) plus a good selection of meals and snacks. Particularly liked the fact you could have a large or small portion of each meal, which is usually lacking in other venues.

Nice location and an interesting shop. Lots of interesting animals to see, such as geese and Guineafowls. Even made friends with a New Forest foal. The pot of tea for 2 is the best pot of tea I’ve ever had. It was a proper teapot with tea strainer. Heaven for somebody who enjoys a proper ‘cuppa’ Points deducted for certain soft drinks not being available on the menu. One of our party had to settle for third choice. The outside tables and chairs looking a bit ‘tired’. However, overall definitely worth a visit.

Lovely visit to The Cider Pantry We had the cream tea which was delicious. The scones were still warm and very light and fluffy. The tea was very nice, served in a large teapot and made from real tea leafs. Was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the sun whilst eating our cream tea, fab little treat.

We were lucky enough to win a voucher for this place, else we may not have known it existed! I had the bubble and squeak and it was absolutely delicious, my other half had the ultimate breakfast and it was huge! Not only was the food amazing the staff were really lovely and just a great atmosphere, will 100% be returning.

I loved how cute this place is, the red door leading into the staircase took me into a a big room full of happy people enjoying what looked like delicious meals. I wish I hadn't eaten before visiting! The staff greeted me promptly and we're so friendly! I took away a very tasty slice of carrot cake. Next time I'm in Romsey I will be stopping by for a meal.

My 90 year old mum wanted to come here as one of her first times out for something to eat since the pandemic started 2 years ago. The LTS is a well decorated clean tea shop. Its upstairs so hidden away. The stairs are steep but mum managed as there was a rail. Good strong cups of tea and an excellent breakfast choice with many variations possible so it worked well for the 4 of us .Prices are good and so exceptional value especially as the breakfast was good.

Great little find in Romsey. The food was good quality and tasty, lots of options and the cafe seems to cater well for Vegetarians, Vegans and GF. Kids options were a good size, and you can't beat bottomless tea for £1 in 2025!

Lovely tearoom, with friendly staff. Food was really good and there was plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices too. The table on the far side is on the uneven part of the floor which gives a strange dizzy feel (similar to the upside down house we recently visited! 😅), so we asked to be moved, which they kindly did.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch followed by great capacinos for probably the most reasonable price in Romsey. Where other cafés in the locality have over-inflated prices- this is good value for money, with friendly staff too!

Always a lovely experience, cater well for Gluten free/ Vegan and other allergies. Unlimited tea for quid!! What's not to like. Note Cash only so visit Atm before visiting.

Very delightful garden centre with a great cafe.

We had an excellent lunch at this cafe, which had a lovely atmosphere and many happy customers. I enjoyed the Brie and Cranberry sandwich, while my wife had the egg and cress sandwich. Both came in generous portions and were served with a delightful salad, crisps, and a large pot of tea. I highly recommend this cafe for its great service and friendly staff!

Excellent lunch here, a lovely atmosphere, lots of happy customers. I had the tuna melt panini with a side of fries, all generous portions served with a lovely salad, crisps and coleslaw. Highly recommend this cafe. Great service and staff too!

Lovely little cafe in Redcliffe garden centre. Excellent cakes and coffee. I had the vegetarian roast lunch as it was a very good Brie and Mushroom Wellington for a very reasonable price. Service was excellent. We were a large group and the server was very friendly and helpful. Well recommended.

Ordered ‘Rise & Shine’ breakfast disappointed with cold beans served in silver cup, mini sausage and 1 slice of bacon. The mushrooms were all diced up to look plentiful but honestly I doubt if there was more than 3 on my plate. The toast was hot but not toasted bread. £8.99 not good value for the money. Cup of tea was extra!! Would I have again? Honestly not.

Set in a garden centre, this cafe really has some good tasty options. Breakfasts are available for mornings, but since we arrived in the afternoon, an afternoon savoury scone tea was ordered, with some coffee and walnut cake. The scones were cheesy, yielding and delicious, served with ripe brie that benefited from the sun. Massive slice of delicious walnut cake - the tame sparrows enjoyed what we couldn't finish. And the bonus is that you can wander around looking at lovely plants, and things to put in your garden. Clientele were of the 50+ age group - wouldn't have thought it would be that suitable for children.

The old is excellent in flavour and quantity. Staff very friendly. Best to book.

Amazing little take away spot by the harbour! Sweet and savoury breakfast treats and lots of vegan options for my wife! Puppacino and treats for our fluffy chow dog Martha! Great tasting coffee! My flat white was perfect! My granola bowl was the best I’ve had since a holiday to Mexico or Costa Rica! We were so impressed! Make sure you stop here if you ever visit Lymington 😍

Wonderful menu of healthy options as well as delicious bakery items and hot food. Highly recommend the granola bowl - looks beautiful and tastes great. Generous portions! Dog friendly also. We had our two pups dine with us indoors. Quite small so there are limited tables indoors but we were able to sit as a table of six as we arrived at opening.

Coffee & Drift is a lovely coffee shop in a lovely town. The service is fantastic and nothing better than to enjoy a coffee in this beautiful town on a warm sunny day.

The ice cream sundaes are amazing and such good value for money. Very generous with the flavourings. Had to go back the week after for another one 😁 The place is very small so you order and wait outside for them to bring your order to you.

This is the best place in Lymington for breakfast, their bfast sandwiches and granola bowls are amazing. BUT - there is a real rude and horrible woman working in there (she may be a manager) and her attitude simply stinks. The young people working there are lovely but she's not at all. They really need to focus more on their customer service skills. At least 2 other people walked out saying exactly the same thing so this wasn't just my opinion either.

Never had a bad experience here. The club bagel is INCREDIBLE as are the iced matchas. There's usually a queue to order but it moves quickly and the food and drink are worth it, always super fresh 🙌🏼

We stopped here for a bite to eat and a drink. A great menu with a range of delicious cakes and bakes at the counter. We had the Chicken, Cheddar and Chilli Jam toastie, Avocado & Halloumi Bagel, and a Mango Lassi. The food was yummy and the Lassi was delicious. Service was fairly slow but due to high demand and staff were busy and apologetic for the wait. Outdoor seating ideal on a nice day and for us 🐕 walkers.

Unfortunately when I visited with my 9 month old, there were multiple children in the baby section for under 18 months who were alot older. I ended up spending most of the time moving my 9 month old out of the way as she was getting knocked over etc. The space was also very bare in comparison to the pictures I'd seen online. It's a shame as my 9 month old loves soft play but it's just not safe when older children are in the baby section.

It was our first visit and we loved it. Soft play is great, food delicious, although quite a long wait, service and atmosphere very good. We will be back soon.

Lollipop's Cafe provided the perfect setting for our 5-year-old's recent birthday party. From the moment we arrived, all the arrangements were beautifully executed, leading to a fantastic time for all. The vibrant ambiance, complete with disco lights and music, really made the celebration special. It was great to see the kids so happy, energetically playing in the soft play area, while we adults could unwind in the cafe. The entire event, including the efficient handling of the cake and party bags, was wonderfully organized. If you're looking for a stress-free and enjoyable birthday party venue, Lollipop's Cafe is an excellent choice.

We had our twin daughters 5th birthday party here this weekend with their friends and they had the best time! The party package included food too so they took care of everything for us. Would highly recommend

Very good soft play areas for different age groups. One for babies to 18 months, up to 3.5 years, and then older children. The cafe does good coffee and hot chocolate options, and also hot food. There are toasted teacakes, pastries, or toast, bacon sandwich, and jacket potatoes.

Specialised soft play area for young children with informal cafe on site where (grand)parents can keep an eye on their offspring. Well organised and equipped and run by friendly, efficient staff. Well recommended!

Top-notch as always 1 year old and 3.5 year old love it! Staff friendly and helpful! Big enough for running around and climbing but small enough so you can keep an eye on them and the little one can explore.

I popped into this shop on a friend’s recommendation to try their matcha latte, but ended up going for the macadamia soya latte instead—and it was impressively good! The flavors were smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. What makes this place even more special is that they sell unique Indian pea-shaped beans, mainly harvested in the Karnataka region, which adds a lovely touch of authenticity for coffee lovers. Their pastry selection is also worth exploring—plenty of tempting choices to treat your taste buds.Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in Eastleigh. Cozy, inviting, and definitely worth a visit!

This is one of if not my favourite chain coffee shops. Unlike Starbucks, Costa and Nero I find the food here tastes good and not all similar like the others. The sandwiches for me are a particular highlight, always delicious. As for the coffees I would say it's comparable with other chains and a lot of that is preference based so my rating is mostly on the foot quality in comparison to leading chains.

Not many there, as before 9am. People a plenty but getting takeouts, I'm guessing to take to work. Staff very pleasant & I had a raspberry croissant which was delicious 🥰

Good coffee and hor chocolate. Cakes OK. They were short staffed and so most tables had cups and plates on them as they could not clear them and serve customers

every time I come to this coffee shop it seems very discombobulated. The staff are really slow and don’t listen to the orders they’re told to make. They constantly make mistakes with drinks. There’s always a queue as long as the Great Wall of china because the service is so slow. There’s never enough staff. The shop always feels cramped and over packed and full of loud uncouth people. The cakes are ok but 9/10 there are stale from the day before. Their matcha latte is appalling. My list of complaints goes on. I avoid this place where possible.

Lovely coffee shop - went in today and the stuff was so attentive that I've decided to leave a 5 star review!

Great service all round, thanks to the blonde girl for recommending a great cake to go with my flat white

Brilliant day out at New Forest Cider festival. £4 advanced tickets or £5 on the day for Adults children free. Parking in field next to Queens Head Burley £5 for the day.. Tractor trailer ride to event. Wonderful day , hubby really enjoyed tasting all the ciders. Nice craft stalls, Blacksmith, Steam engines. Woodwork. Local products. Food & drink stalls. Live band what more do you need. Fantastic day out.

Had a late lunch here and had a wonderful time. The staff were busy but super friendly and really helpful in pointing out the vegan options for me. Had the veggie pattie which was to die for. Decor is plain, nothing fancy but overall had a lovely meal and will certainly be back.

Nice place, wild ponies and great service. But the perry is not cider, its vineager. Otherwise amazing

Excellent if you like traditionally made cider. This is also a Brit stop so great for a night in pleasant surroundings by the New Forest, interrupted only by wild horses hoping for something more interesting than grass.

This weekend sees the cider festival. £5 grants you access to a set of pleasant food and country craft stalls and some old cider presses run by steam/diesel Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely little place, tasty cider and apple juice..will be back for more of the other product's...thanks

A lovely place to stop off after a long walk on one of the many walks through the new forest. Don’t be deceived by the size of the front of the building , as you walk through it opens up and you enter into a fabulous outdoor eating area. A great choice of cakes , sandwiches, coffee, teas and local produced cider. A small shop to the rear of the garden where you can buy cider and other locally produced goods . Highly recommend the toasted sandwiches and a glass of cider

We had my Grandaughters 1st Birthday here today. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time here. The atmosphere was great, with music and plenty of toys as well as the obvious soft play. The food went down well and Paula our host was amazing. She helped with the cake , and even cut it all up and wrapped in the napkins, which was super helpful when coming to the end. As well as the gorgeous toasties she made during the party 😋 Thankyou Paula and The Little Pickles Team. Summer had a great 1st Birthday Party .

Perfect for my 1 and 2 year old. I could actually sit down and have a drink whilst they played as you can see them at all times. Lady who runs it was also very welcoming and friendly. Will visit again soon

I booked the soft play for my son’s 4th birthday party. It is a fantastic venue and perfect for young children. The lady who worked there (sorry I can’t remember her name!) was really friendly and helpful when it came to getting all the children together for the food and cake! She also helped cut the cake up for the children and was really chatty to all the parents there. My son had such a wonderful party and I would highly recommend for a birthday party venue!

Really great place. After reading some reviews I was concerned, but you can only find these things out first hand. Everything is reasonably priced. You can sit down and see the whole play area so you know your pickle is safe. I don't see any problem is having to purchase food. Especially when it is not expensive. For 5 stars I think some extra different things like book and colouring boards maybe some interactive toys. But I think it's a great place.

We come to little pickles regularly. Started coming when my daughter was about 1 years old then fell pregnant with another so both children been going now nearly 4 and 2 years old both my children love coming here all staff are lovey welcoming and very chatty and supportive. Food is always lovely especially the toasties me and the children used to go every week but since moving further away we try and go as much as we can best soft play and staff!! Highly recommend to anyone with young children.

Such a great little soft play. Enough to keep the little ones entertained and run around. A nice little play area with a selection of toys too. Been going here for over a year now and my little ones confidence has grown so much with climbing and the slide. It's not too overwhelming. A nice selection of snacks and drinks at a good price. You open a tab on arrival and pay at the end. Hygiene is always really good. Parking can be tricky as it is on the main road of the highsreet but there are spaces on the side roads. Overall a lovely place to spend a few hours.

We had my son's first birthday here and it was brilliant! Marketa the host was great and it felt very low stress, all the kids had a brilliant time and it was priced very reasonably 🥰 We love coming on normal days but it was the perfect party location too and having exclusive hire was great :)

Lovely small museum about the founding of the 900 year old New Forest and key components of its history and life, such as Roman and World War II involvement, Alice in Wonderland connections, a small cob house replica, and why there are roaming horses (to name a few of the topics). Museum is free though donations are very appreciated. They also have a nice gift shop and cafe on site. Toilets adequate and free. Car park immediately next to it is from the city and costs a small fee.

I made a short stop in this small town on my way north, and visited the Heritage Centre. There was not that much to see, although the few displays were interesting enough. I guess the centre is more useful as an information centre than a museum.

Great museum, donations welcome. Set within the carpark. Cafe is relaxing with music in the background. Plenty of cakes for Gluten free diets and something for vegans. Both cakes In photos are gluten and dairy free. Top marks for the caramel one. Lots of choices for food and drinks. Prices are average for the area.

A small museum depicting life in The New Forest for its residents. The museum is free with a card point asking for a voluntary donation. There’s a cafe & shop within the centre. Doesn’t take long to go around the exhibits but is a nice way to see forest life.

This is a centre with a cafe, gift shop and a small museum about the New Forest. It's really interesting and explain a lot about the past and present of the forest. It's quite small but you can easily spend 30 minutes inside. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the village.

Excellent visitor centre for those wishing to find out more about the New Forest and its history. Upstairs is a long tapestry created by local people showing key events.

Lovely food great staff, had a lovely staff member called belle looking after us all. Great food, lovely setting. Thank you.

A very enjoyable breakfast served on hottest plate I've ever felt! And if you ask nicely then you can have alternative items than listed on the menu. Great service from the wonderful staff. Still have the hottest plates, hotter than the polls this 4th July.

Went for a simple bite to eat and ordered a bacon baguette, it took very little time to be seated and served and upon receiving my food, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food served. Lovely calm and quiet establishment with very friendly and charming staff members, I’m going to make this one off trip a regular visit. 10/10 if the chart allowed I would go higher.

What a beautiful place for a cosy seat out of the rain! Superb, friendly staff offering the personal touch which is hard to find these days. Even my children ate their meals - equally rare! Next time you’re in New Milton, be sure to visit for an excellent-value, hearty and tasty meal.

Very enjoyable breakfast here. Nicely cooked. Service was good overall a good little cafe with a good selection of food and drinks.

We are Dorset & Hampshire man v food so we dropped in to this cafe this morning ( undercover) The Bacon and sausage were pre cooked,( under cooked) it was warmed up for serving, only serves black pudding and hash browns on Saturdays, plate was piping hot this is so it don't go cold . £9.15 was above what we expected to pay without hot drinks , we are looking for the best English breakfast in Dorset/ Hampshire I'm afraid this didn't come close . 🙃

We had a lovely salad and a sandwich sat out in the sunshine last Friday. Great service and food. Thank you!

We arrived just before 9am, there is seating inside & out. Very clean and welcoming. Good breakfast menu, they also do lunch & cake! Very reasonably priced, would recommend.

Such a great Costa in Totton. Staff are always warm, welcoming, friendly and efficient. They all have excellent barista skills and coffee tastes amazing. Here is an example of my husbands flat white by Vicky, No wonder it is always busy! Thanks all for all your hardwork!

We were served promptly and by helpful friendly staff even though it was fairly busy mid afternoon. Coffee was good and as per our order. Not the cleanest tables etc. The toilet was disgusting!! Atmosphere not great but that was down to other patrons being loud/disruptive and in the case of more than 1 group, lacking in personal hygiene......which explains the lack of cleanliness perhaps!

Honestly, the most friendly guys work here. Always brightens my day with how I'm greeted. So thank you! 😊 Lovely atmosphere. Lovely selection of drinks, always clean. Highly recommend

Very pleasant staff and great coffee

Staff more interested in running down a staff member infront of customers ! Than serving us, that was unprofessional. Had coffee remade as was 50% froth shame as this shop is normally good. Maybe this was a one-off. The second attempt was better, and a nice coffee

Lovely staff , great service lovely latte

The best coffee shop by far.

Hi, I'm nicely surprised. I've pop up there for a quick brunch. Service was really quick, personel kind. Food was really tasty however my chicken in grilled chicken wrap was slightly too salty. My wife's mozarella,tomato and pesto panini was really good. We also ordered freshly squeezed orange juice which was really good. We'll definately come back there to try something new when we'll be in the neighberhood.

Had the New York breakfast, wasn't loads of food for £15 but was really tasty and high quality, then another £3.50 for coffee, thank god it was payday.

Stopped off here for a quick drink and it was very welcoming. Staff were very friendly and we were seated quickly. The hot chocolate was amazing and you must try it. Although we didn't have time for food the menu looked very nice with a great selection available. We'll be back for food next time.

Always happy to help you in cafe aroma Totton. Lovely and tasty food using top quality products. Prices are very reasonable. Staff never rush you into ordering and food always comes out fresh and hot to your table, at busy times there may be a wait but it's worth the wait as the meals are the best just like your mother makes if not better.

The Turkish breakfast is well worth a try, if you fancy something a bit different!

Great service & friendly Enjoyed the omelet, food portion is very good Coffee was one of the best I’ve had

I attended this cafe for the fourth time recently. On all 3 previous occasions I was allowed to change 2 items on the menu as I do not like them as well as swapping fried toast for regular toast. On my 4th visit I was met with a rather angry server who informed me that I couldn't change 3 items although other staff had previously done this kind gesture which is why I returned. The woman telling me this was very rude about it indeed! She stated i could only change 2 items. How petty can one person be? It's literally toast instead of fried bread!!!. I eat out Every day due to disabilities & not being able to cook my own. Food. I will NOT be returning here again. I discovered the woman is the owner so well done you've lost a Daily customer for your rudeness & on a second note it's a cafe not a kinder garden! Leave the kids at home. EDIT..... I have just visited this place again for a pot of tea £3.10. As I sat drinking a male member of staff approached me & spoke to me about this review. He was Very polite & assured me the staff were working on the issues raised & said if id like to return as a daily customer it would be appreciated. I paid for my drink & left a 10p tip. Less than 60 seconds & the Woman owner came out & gave me my 10p back stating they dont want my tips....... Of course my friends & fill visit this cafe regularly..... Well they won't be returning now!!! You've lost several customers now!. The ATTITUDE of the owner is just disgusting & I will NEVER spend money there again!!!!.

“Visited The Captain’s Table at Bucklers Hard on May 5, 2025—a great stop for ScapeSeeker explorers! The food was okay, but it took 30 minutes to arrive, likely due to the bank holiday rush and possibly understaffing. Prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes. Seating includes indoor tables and outdoor picnic areas, perfect for a break. Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside on leads, with water bowls and refills provided—great for pet-friendly families! The main entrance has a good ramp for disabled access. They offer a solid selection of hot/cold food, ice creams, and hot drinks. A handy spot, though service could improve. Seek landscape adventures, pin by pin! 📍 – ScapeSeeker”

We visited here today after coming here about 6 months ago and were extremely disappointed! The scones were burnt to a crisp, the food was all displayed but we were told we couldn’t have it as they couldn’t heat it up! There was no jam or cream available and we were charged £20 for two soft drinks, a dry scone, ice cream and packet of crisps!! The tables in the courtyard were not cleared so there was a swarm of wasps around. It’s such a shame as this used to be a lovely place to stop for a drink and cake after a long walk.

The Captain's Table in Beaulieu is a delightful spot, just moments from the river where the boats moor, offering a lovely atmosphere. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the views. We had a coffee and paninis, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. Whether you're enjoying a casual bite or just taking in the surroundings, this cafe is a great choice for a peaceful break by the water.

We visited Buckler's Hard yesterday and needed a light lunch so went to The Captain's Table. It really wasn't an enjoyable experience. We asked what "soup of the day" was, and strangely were told there were 4 different ones! Which rather suggests they come from a can. Anyway, we went ahead and ordered the soup and farmhouse bread. Firstly, although the place was almost empty, it took forever for our soup to arrive. When it did arrive, my vegetable soup was almost cold. My wife's leek and potato soup was hotter at least, but tasted very strange and not nice at all. The "farmhouse bread" turned out to be a thin slice of cheap brown bread. If you're at Buckler's Hard (which is interesting, by the way) and fancy a tasty snack or meal, I'd strongly suggest giving The Captain's Table a wide berth if you can.

I'm giving this 5 stars, not because it is anywhere fancy but because it had everything we needed and really lovely staff. We visited Buckler's Hard as 3 families, after a long walk with 5 teenagers and each one of them smiled at some point. Enough said? Great value for money (especially compared to the fine dining pub/restaurant down the road), a simple menu but something for everyone - panini, jacket potato, burger, scampi and fries, fish finger bap, that kind of thing, beautiful flowers, really well maintained cafe/tea room with indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of muffins and cakes, slush puppies, ice creams, etc. Toilets and carparking right next to the cafe. 2 minute walk to harbour and all attractions. Crowd pleaser. Dogs allowed outside but not sure about indoors. Dog water bowls outside.

Went here on a Sunday for breakfast- we ordered two - the vegetarian and meat full breakfast. We were told there were no eggs due to breakages - we opted to still have the breakfasts but were not offered a reduction in price. It was basic, mean portions and overpriced. The service was fine but I would prefer not to hear a generic “enjoy” after every delivery.

Went as a birthday lunch treat. Hard to find a table that wasn’t full of dirty crockery. A pot of tea for two was served in two paper cups as they’d run out of teapots. The food was cold and insipid. £32 for two baked potatoes and filling, two teas and a piece of cake. We sent the food back. Will not bother returning.

Seems to be a relatively new Costa, staff were friendly. They did have non-dairy milk but no non-dairy whipped cream for the hot chocolates we ordered. It appears that you need to register your car registration at the till for the parking (a separate tablet on a podium which you fill out yourself), there were signs but the staff didn’t point this out, so someone could miss this. Overall a very nice visit, easy access from the M271 which is handy for meeting friends away from the more complex roads nearer the city centre.

I visited them today with a great team, fantastic and friendly people. I definitely will come back if I will be in the area and I would recommend it to anyone. Thx guys Instagram: michaelqmul should you wish to see amazing photos from my travels

Yesterday morning I had the best latte I have had in a very long time made by a friendly female barista. It was before midday I think but she was amazing . It was smooth creamy on the top . I did ask for whole milk too but it was exceptional.

I’ve been to this costa a few times now, both driving through & popping inside. The place is lovely & clean. The staff are friendly. Lots of parking. The drive through is always quick & the microphone is clear. The Coffee/Mocha/Hot chocolate are all perfect! The Sausage Baps are sooo good for a brekki! :) Great Job!

Staff at the drive thru are miserable and left us sat there for ages before acknowledging that we were waiting to pay. Ordered a tea to be given a cup that was full to the brim, that much so that the lid popped off, tea all over the car.

Costa as it should be! Greatly decorated, new, always clean!great place to sit down for a coffee!lots of seating area, with a relaxing atmosphere!great job👍🏻

Asked about the gluten free toastie sandwich, after being very excited to finally be able to eat something for lunch from Costa as it’s super convenient. I kid you not, I asked if they had the gluten free toastie, and the guy behind the counter literally laughed at me multiple times, and took great delight in telling me that he had thrown them all away the night before due to them being out of date, and said he regularly throws them away. Laughed some more, then asked me what I wanted to order ?????

We celebrated our daughter’s 1st birthday here and it was absolutely perfect. We chose the Magical Picnic Party package and Becca was amazing — she made everything easy and seamless. From the food to the balloons, every detail was taken care of, and our little one had such a fun time. The venue was a great size for our party of 20+ guests, spacious, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate their child’s special day in a stress free and beautiful way!

Little play cafe. Very welcoming, wider range of food compare to some other places we have been, similar pricing. So far this is the most beautiful set up for toddlers play i have ever seen in my life. It looks like a photo studio for photosessions. Absolutely amazing. Very well maintained, clean, light. And here they don't have "only food purchased here can be consumed" policy. But instead they got a lovely polite message that all purchases will help them running the business. Your own snacks can be fed to kids. Definitely will return and recommend to others. Thank you for running such a lovely place.

Thank you so much for hosting Theo’s 1st birthday party we had the best day making memories with close friends and family we are so grateful to Becca and Caroline for making the process so easy and straightforward always responding to messages quickly and being so helpful! The food was amazing they put on a beautiful spread for adults and children and it was plenty for everyone! Thank you so much for having us definitely recommend having a birthday party here! X

We’ve been going to Wild Ones since it opened and it feels like a second home! Becca is so friendly and always takes the time to chat. My girls have the best time and the toys always feel interesting and new. Today we have our youngest’s first birthday party there and it was the best afternoon we could have asked for! Nothing was too much, no question to tedious (and there were many!!) the food was great and I have already had so many thank yous and praise for the venue. Thank you so much for making the perfect home from home for our little people!

The most perfect setting for my best friends baby shower! I hired Wild Ones Cafe for my friends baby shower back in December and it was the perfect venue to host a baby shower! My friends and I were struggling to find somewhere that was adult and child friendly, private and offered catering. Becca and her lovely mum created the most gorgeous afternoon tea buffet for us which was so delicious. They even created a separate kids buffet which also went down very well with the little ones! The space at Wild one's was just perfect for what we were looking for to keep the kids entertained whilst all of the ladies chatted, caught up and exchanged presents. The kids absolutely loved playing in the ball pool! and everyone has said what a lovely venue it was. Thank you so much Becca! You offer a really lovely community hub where families can feel relaxed and at home.

We had our little ones 3rd birthday today at wild ones, we had so many compliments from the guests on how welcoming and friendly Becca was. We knew the play cafe was the right place for us but it made it when people who didn’t know the place said how they would return. It’s a lovely, clean and very fun place. Thank you Wild Ones!😁🥰

Me and my toddler love it here and go most weeks. Now I have a newborn baby as well, it's the perfect place to take both of them. Because of the layout (tables next to the play area/ toys, it being fully enclosed and being able to see the whole play area from the tables), it's ideal for if I need to feed my baby but occupy my toddler and the only place I have managed to sit down and have a hot coffee with the two of them! Toys and equipment is suitable for newborn babies all the way up to preschoolers. The lady who owns it is so lovely and welcoming and the cakes are delicious! It's always spotlessly clean too. Would really recommend :)

I’ve been here around 4 times in the last two years and it’s always a positive experience for me and my toddler. We love the cake, coffees and baby chinos, however I wish they made them in a mug to have in instead of a takeaway cup as to save on plastic and waste. It’s a great soft play and I love the added under 2’s area but I’d love to see some sensory toys/books for the under 2’s which could be put on a shelf by the fence or in a basket for those children who perhaps aren’t big enough for the softplay or want a little break from all the running around. I think we’d come here more if we had some toys to play with that were regularly rotated to make it more interesting and enjoyable.

Our new favourite soft play! You have peace of mind knowing that there won't be any big children pushing your toddlers around (under 5s only), and the pricing is very reasonable! It is small but compact and has plenty for the little ones to do, we spent a good 3hrs in there one day without them getting bored. The young lady that has served us on numerous occasions is always so sweet and kind. A lovely place.

I have visited Little Bugs a couple of times since it has opened and I’ve been so impressed on every visit! I have 2 young boys, 2&1/2 yrs and 1 yr, so often find going to soft play venues a very hectic & stressful experience. Little Bugs has a big under 2 area with such a variety of age appropriate activities and the bigger play area is a perfect size for my 2 year old (small enough for him to go and play independently and not feel overwhelmed, but also big enough to keep him entertained for our 3 hour visit!). I also like the open plan style and find it very reassuring that I am able to keep an eye on my eldest son, whilst sat in the baby section with my youngest. The venue (inc the soft play equipment and toilets) are very hygienic and clean. I was also very impressed with the variety of drinks and snacks on the menu, not only for adults but children too. Great atmosphere & very friendly staff. We will definitely be visiting again soon!😊

I had my son’s 3rd birthday party at Little Bugs and it was the perfect venue! Rachel was incredibly helpful, she made suggestions about where to put things out, hung a banner and blew up balloons for us! It was so unexpected but much appreciated to have her there as an extra pair of hands 🥰 All the kids had an amazing time on the soft play. We’ve been lots of times before and will continue to visit! Thank you 🫶🏻

Little Bugs was the perfect venue for our 3 year old’s birthday party. The children loved the soft play area, but also the under 2 section (I was surprised how much they liked throwing a few ballons to each other and playing in the ball pit). It allowed the adults to chill. Music was played throughout the whole session, giving a great atmosphere. The cafe was open to buy hot drinks- perfect for adults. I loved being able to hire the whole place, as some soft plays don’t allow this. The lady working was so helpful, and friendly. It was so easy to book. I’d definitely recommend this venue.

Such a brilliant place. My toddler loved it. I loved it. It was fun, clean, and the owner was so considerate even down to the forgotten essentials. I would DEFINITELY recommend Little Bugs and we are DEFINITELY going back.

Great soft play for little ones. My 8 month old enjoyed the bubbles, toys, and ballpit.

Amazing little cafe and play area! Had my little one’s 3rd birthday party here and we all loved it! Kids were safely entertained while adults got to chill and socialise-great coffee too! Best venue for a kids party! Looking forward to going back! Thank you for a lovely day and for going the extra mile with all the help and support provided!

5* for cosy village cafe. I’ve been here lots with my little one , she absolutely loves it! so much for her to explore. and I’ve been a handful of times with her older siblings they love it just as much as her, so many things for the kids to do for all ages.(up to 8) We’ve also been to a few birthday parties held here for their friends been a lovely space made to celebrate birthdays too! Coffee , cold drinks and food are good value for money and the entry fee is a great price too and the fact adults are free is amazing! We will be back for sure! 👌🏻

Montessori inspired role play cafe visited this afternoon. Lovely play cafe for children. So much fun with different play zones. Such great and cosy atmosphere. Staff are super friendly . Best kids place I have been to in a long time. Will visit again soon . Thank you very much for such a wonderful place for our kids 🤗🫶🏼

I recently visited the new roleplay cafe with my son, and it was a fantastic experience. The Montessori-inspired atmosphere and attention to detail are simply enchanting. The food and coffee were delicious, and the welcoming staff made us feel at home. We had so much fun that we're already planning our next visit. This cafe is a true gem for families and anyone looking for a unique, enjoyable experience.

What a fantastic setting for young children, welcoming, homely. Great staff and most importantly a fantastic expirance, not just for as a one off. All the time, we're really pleased to visit regularly. Kids love it!

Our visit to this roleplay cafe was an absolute delight! Watching my 2-year-old's eyes light up as he explored different areas of the cafe was priceless. The staff's kindness made the experience unforgettable. It's a haven for imaginative play, and we can't wait to return! 😍

Our 2 year old had a great time, he didn't want to leave. A wide variety of toys available, a friendly atmosphere and clean.

Very cozy coffee shop with professional coffee baristas. The staff are very friendly and nice, and the coffee tastes great. I would highly recommend this place and I would go back there again. I wish there had been more tables and chairs, so we didn’t need to wait so long.

Excellent coffee and friendly service from the baristas. A great combination of cafe and bikes, well worth a visit! Highly recommend the flat white, one of the very best I've had in ages!!

The staff were really helpful and friendly, especially when I was torn between different options! I followed their recommendations and the coffee was seriously good. On impulse, I got one of their biscoff buns to take away and that was also delicious! Would absolutely recommend this place for anyone in the area who enjoys quality coffee and/or pastries. Thanks so much, guys!

I wish I lived nearer to this gem. So many tempting ideas for bike accessories, upgrades and more. I will spend a lot of money here if not kept on a short leash. The cafe is an excellent bonus and my coffee and sandwich were excellent. What really makes this place is the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too.

All round great little coffee shop. Great tunes, amazing coffee and the variety of cinnamon buns is awesome! Can’t fault it. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. 10/10

Our favourite spot in Lyndhurst, always an amazing checkpoint for one of the best coffees in east Dorset. Never tried a food but bet its amazing as well. Super nice staff too.

Literally the rudest staff I ever came across in my life. It was absurd. I’ve been served by a guy with long reddish hair and she is not fit for working in a front of house role. I should have asked for manager really but it was a sunny Sunday afternoon, place was really busy and didn’t want to cause a scene. Maybe my accent was a trigger, or it was their last day working there..who knows.. never again. Fenx.

Brought my son here for the first time and he loved it! He has so much fun and there was more then enough play and resources to keep him engaged and entertained. The ladies running it where super friendly and it got busy quite quickly only proving that its obviously popular with the little ones. May even consider my sons birthday party here. 100% recommend!

Really lovely play cafe! Super friendly staff, lots for the kids to play with, plus you can see them from most areas of the cafe, which is great for the littler ones who need more watching, and the mum's who need to sit down and enjoy a coffee! Feels really clean and homely with a good selection of snacks, coffee's etc.

I have been to Mini Monsters many times with my son Bertie. It’s a great place , especially for those rainy days or even the hot days when you need something to entertain the children . Clean environment, and lots for the kids to do .Added bonus of the cafe too , so can have a lovely coffee while the kids play , and also a range of food available to keep the little ones happy and the grown ups too . My son is 5 now So he’s sadly outgrowing mini monsters , but we still go , and enjoys every time we attend . Staff are so attentive .

We had a lovely afternoon play date here. Lots to do for the little ones with soft play, toys, hide out houses. All clean and in great condition. Very relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and great coffee. Easy parking and near local amenities. Will be revisiting!

One of our favourite soft plays. Always clean and tidy. Lots for the little ones to do, nice variety. Good amount of space to move around and adults to sit and relax. No shoes once you enter which just makes sense, all soft plays should do this. Lovely Friendly staff as well. Good little coffee as well.

Had a great time at Mini Monsters today, even in the heat! Owners are very lovely and welcoming, and extra touches like spare nappies and clothes are always appreciated. My kids (4 and 3) had a wonderful time exploring the pretend play and soft play, only stopping for a little drink and snack. We’ll be back!

We visit Mini Monsters nearly every week and I can highly recommend! We travel from Poole to come and it is so worth it! The fact it is soft play as well role play areas is absolutely brilliant as it meant my daughter was playing the whole time and mostly on her own so that I could enjoy a sit down and a drink! Everything is super clean and the food options and drink options are brilliant - my daughter is super fussy with food but there was plenty of option that even she could eat! The toilets were super clean and the baby changing was great with packs of wipes and spare clothes in case of emergency. All in all we had a great time this morning and Will definitely be coming again next week!

Such a lush & wonderful café!! Kia and Tali were amazing, good value for drinks and food, and great music!! Will defo be comming again soon!!

Lovely cake treats and proper pot of tea at very reasonable prices in a spacious area. Well worth the walk through the shop and up the stairs where even more gifts are displayed. Very friendly service as well.

What a great little stay + play and roll play place, my Grandson had so much fun there and equally we had food in the cafe which was really nice and so reasonable , lovely staff, also they have Vegan options which is great to see!!

Such a lovely place to meet up with friends with children. The coffee menu is great with plenty of different options to choose from, including a long list of coffee syrups! Food is great too i had such a yummy and fresh toastie (I'm pretty sure they do vegan and gluten free options too). The play area is beautiful with lots of lovely wooden toys and different themed shops. It seemed well suited to a range of different aged children. My friend said it was nice and easy to book online and such a good price for a morning/ afternoon out! Will definitely keep returning! Oh and nice and easy to park with a car park right next door!

We had our son's 2nd birthday party at Little Treasures and it was fantastic! The whole experience was completely stress-free, thanks to the lovely and super friendly ladies who went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly both beforehand and on the day. The play area has a brilliant range of clean, well-maintained toys that were all set up and ready to go when we arrived. We had ages 6 months to 4 year olds at the party and all of them had suitable toys to play with :) The party food was great too, food served at a toddler-sized big table so the little ones could sit together, and they were brilliant at catering for allergies, including providing dairy-free options. Parking very close by in Saxon Square Car park. Would definitely recommend :)

Very nice coffee and hot snack .will do be popping in again .my dog liked it aswell lol

Our favourite play cafe! Kia is so welcoming and the toys and equipment are always meticulously clean, my daughter loves it there. We come at least once a week and the food is great too. Kia is always updating the play cafe with new toys or adaptations to make it even more engaging for the kids.

Great location to stay to visit the New Forest. The room was clean and on the large side. The continental breakfast started at 8am. We enjoyed the stay.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The room was very clean but a bit tired looking in places, in need of tlc. There was also an old fridge just hanging around in the grounds. There was a children's play park, but again it needs some refreshment and the grass needed cutting. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and well prepared. I would go back.

Two separate ratings on this post - the venue and the accommodation. 5⭐️ for the venue! The place is beautiful. Beautifully decorated, a really relaxed and cozy feel. I came here for a wake and I have zero complaints. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. I felt at ease here and the pleasant atmosphere and kind staff really pulled into this. 3.5⭐️ for the accommodation. The room was very basic, the continental breakfast was the bare minimum and there was no option for any hot food - in my opinion it was not worth the £100 price point. The beds were not very comfortable and the room was kinda outdated. However it was spotless - hats off to the cleaners. Overall, my favourite part of this place was the staff. They were incredible. They were very friendly, kind and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they were more than happy to help and assist. They served us well and attentively. Plus they didn’t force us out when the place was closing - which we really appreciated. You can tell that it’s a nice environment to work in as this reflected the staff! If we’re ever in the area, we’ll gladly come again.

The food was delicious. It was the first time I didn't need to put salt on my roast Sunday, very tasty. The service was also very good, very kind and cordial.

A great stay! The owner Robert was a real pleasure, made us and our dog feel so welcome. Would definitely stay again and the food was fantastic!

Ample parking for a great overnight stay in the back garden of this beautiful listed barn conversion. 1.5 mile easy walk to the beach and spectacular view of the Needles. We were too late to eat on the Sunday but Rib knocked us up a Chicken and fresh ham salad to die for. Two nice reds to wash it down followed by Apple crumble to make your Granny proud. A lovely place and so friendly. We’ll be back for sure.

No more Sunday Carvery, just a choice of roasts and vegetarian options. Find a table and wait for table set I e which was a bit slow, had to keep asking for order to be taken, apparently 3 waiting staff down. Food came out promptly after order placed and was presented really well and was very tasty too. Finished plates could have been taken away quicker, and were done so by a waitress attending to an adjacent table who then noticed the empty plates. Let's hope they get their staffing problems rated as food was excellent. A saxophone player played in the background.

It's in a Tesco so atmosphere is limited but food always good, drinks good, and Sam and Kati are fantastic! I'd totally poach them for my cafe if I had one

Great little Costa in a Tesco, Kati the manager is wonderful. Great coffee

So slow. One Barista on a Saturday morning. Trying to serve several customers at a time. Ended up getting my coffee several minutes after customers who arrived and paid after me. All I wanted was a americano so not complicated. Coffee was cool when I got it. Not the Saturday treat I was going for.

staff very helpful and friendly. bring your order to your table. regular staff means they know the customers

Terrible customer service - three staff on shift on a Saturday milling about, talking amongst themselves whilst queue gets longer and tables disgusting state. Clueless.

Clean with friendly, polite service. Oh have witnessed the staff going out of their way on more than occasion to help less able customers.

Really nice staff lots of seats and they good a good coffee to

Very nice café. Beautiful cakes etc..Very comfortable and lovely atmosphere welcoming staff. Good coffee ☕ would highly recommend a visit

great place to stop by for some tea and tasty apple cake

Rubbish!! I am giving Bake a 1 star review. My sausage roll was microwaved, warmish, so it was really chewy. My drink was a quarter full under the cream, lad needs barista training! Over-priced for what was given. The girl behind the counter was lovely but the lad needs training in customer service as he was abrupt and rude. Spoilt our lunch. Will not be going back!

Popped in this morning for the first time, mid-way on my bike ride. The lady that served me was new on the till but was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. A lovely coffee and cake (coffee and walnut) was had sat outside. As an unexpected bonus the owner came out to me and produced the last piece of cake in a takeaway carton saying it was too small to sell so would I like to take it with me! Thank you for great service, I'll be back again 100%

Absolutely the best Cafe in New Milton. Great staff and coffee and yummy cakes.

Beautiful cappuccino and very generous slice of cake. Staff were very pleasant and complemented the experience.

Great little cafe with outdoor seating. Recommend the selection on panini’s- especially the tuna melt! It’s was delicious, also comes with some crisps and side salad for £6.50. The coffee was also lovely! Parking available on the road outside. Staff were very helpful and friendly

Nice clothing lines and good quality too. The store is let down by the staff both on the ground floor and 1st floor. We were spoken to as if we were unimportant and insignificant, even though the 2 ground floor members of staff were just stood chatting about their dinner the night before. It's a real shame as both my wife and I were looking for a complete new summer wardrobe. Felt like we were unwelcome so we went elsewhere

Loved New Milton and Bradbeers. Also see X1 bus goes there on way to Lymington. Plenty of parking, lovely cafes.

After looking forward to visiting your store my friend and I were so shocked and disappointed when in the ladies clothing dept we asked to try on some clothes and firstly were told by the shop assistant she had 5 mins until her lunch so loathed to open up the changing cubicles, but eventually did. We then moved to the other end of the shop and went to the til to pay for an item, the shop assistant there had her back to me and clearly wasn't going to acknowledge me. My friend was trying on a jacket and asked if there were any more sizes and she replied quite rudely, if its not there then no. Terrible customer service, a smile and a willingness to be helpful would have been nice. Needless to say we left our items and left the shop. Such a shame as had to drive some distance and we. were looking forward to a lovely day out with a friend in need of cheering up. Would not recommend if you need a little tlc!

Quaint department store. Helpful polite staff. Lots to choose from. Stocks quality clothes and other items so if you want to go up market and can afford it you can

Smart store with very good ranges of clothing for men and women. Friendly helpful staff.

We have visited for afternoon tea for myself and visiting family from Germany. It was outstanding, both food and friendly service. The staff were so nice, I regret not knowing their names, but was a flawless lovely experience.

My daughter and myself visited the store today,and,as usual,the staff were welcoming and courteous. However,they,and us,were so cold- with some staff wearing coats and scarves! No way was I, or anyone else going to strip off to try out your clothing-I’m sure that your staff and loyal customers are worth more than this rather shoddy treatment! Am sending this with great optimism !

Lovely cafe with quality food. Very friendly welcome by the accommodating and approachable owner. Each of our breakfasts were cooked to taste with no trouble. It was great that we were able to bring our dog in too. Good choice of vegetarian and vegan options and fab coffee. Would highly recommend.

Superb , can't rate this wonderful coffee shop highly enough. After a bad coffee experience at another cafe (not a million miles away!) I was in search of a real coffee and Bijou certainly offered that. A cappuccino with depth of flavour and a silky smooth top, made with care and attention by the lovely owners. Another treat was the delicious cinnamon buns, only available twice a week and freshly delivered from a bakery in Ringwood. Can't wait for my next visit to Bijou, will time it for lunch as the selection of filled brioche look amazing. If fact visit anytime you will not be disappointed.

Very safe little cafe, one person allowed in at a time, great service and even greater food! Had a lovely brioche sandwich on the cliffs and was served by a friendly pair. Good food with a view. 5 stars.

We live at Barton and commented on how we never buy a coffee from the cute little shop and walk along the beach. So we did! Inside the shop is small but looks lovely, really nicely decorated and the counter is filled with a selection of nice looking cakes. We ordered a latte and chai latte and they took a while to prepare. The chai latte was quite sweet, which was fine for me. My partner had the latte, and he was not pleased- he said it was bitter and had a Bovril taste! It's a shame to say we won't be rushing back.

A nice little takeaway. When we visited it didnt seem busy but we did have to wait a while for our three drinks. Longer than i would have expected. The piece of dorset cake was a generous size and tasted delicious.

We decided to grab lunch here as it was one of the few places open, when we came off the Beach. Firstly they are operating very well under the current guidelines with a great screen up between you and a one in one out policy, nothing was to much trouble I asked that my sons luxury hot chocolate be made but with the treats in a separate bag and this was no issue for them. I order the new York Ruben Sandwhich which was awesome, this place is well worth a visit, oh and try the coffe and walnut cake, I left mine in the shop but when I popped back they had it ready for me

Mixed review: Coffee delicious and hot. Brioche roll very nice, (small though and very little filling - bacon and brie). All in all too expensive at just pennies under a tenner.

Popped in for a light lunch. Lovely having a vegan menu 😊 Tapas tasty as well. Busy and buzzy. Friendly staff. Definitely a welcome addition to New Milton and Barton area😊😊 Definitely returning 😊

Had brunch today. Good choice of dishes. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Good atmosphere. Very busy, and unfortunately the food order was slow, and when it arrived it wasn't very hot. I suspect at the moment they're a victim of their own success! The Lounge has certainly made a difference to New Milton. Never seen it so busy on a BH!

What a great place. New Milton needs a place like this! 100% recommend as the staff are fabulous and the food is excellent.

Love Espino Lounge so much, I usually have the sandwiches as they are so tasty and good value. The burgers are also really lovely, I like how you can add extras onto your food with the online app. Always feel much happier after taking a visit. It definitely adds to New Milton, and hope for as much success as it rightly deserves, thank you!

What a great asset this is on our High Street. Polite and helpful staff. Great coffee and lovely food.

First 3 times we came it was great. The food was lovely. Got the tapas and halloumi. Today we went back and they had just changed the menu. The halloumi was covered in a different harder cover like panko breadcrumbs where before it was lovely batter. The chicken used to come in 3 and came as 2 pieces and had a load of spices just dumped on top. The cheesy garlic flatbread was raw and overcooked in places. See the menu has got rid of any quesadillas too which were nice. Such a shame. Thought this would be our new place to come eat but right now very disappointed. Why change a good thing?

Popped in for lunch today with my son & mum. Ordered online, delicious food and drinks, prompt delivery of food, lovely decor, so great to have this in our town! Also I drove past on opening night and lovely to see all tables outside full!

I recently visited Oslar Coffee in Barton on Sea with my dog, and it was a truly delightful experience. The café’s welcoming atmosphere made it the perfect spot to grab a takeaway coffee and a bite to eat for breakfast. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring both my dog and I felt comfortable. It’s evident that Oslar Coffee values its customers and their furry companions. The coffee was exceptional — rich, smooth, and expertly brewed. Paired with a delicious breakfast option, it made for a perfect start to the day. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Oslar Coffee offers a cozy, dog-friendly environment with top-notch coffee and service. Highly recommended!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 BEST COFFEE in HAMPSHIRE . Fabulous independent coffee shop 😍😍 Aug 2024 THE BEST COFFEE SHOP IN HAMPSHIRE🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Oslar Coffee in Barton on Sea. We’d have visited every day had we had the time to. Went here twice, Jay is fantastic, informative, passionate about coffee 👍🏻😃 chirpy and we felt very welcome and at home. It’s a wonderful place, with the most extensive selection of DELICIOUS COFFEES, loved the house special, butour favourite was the Ethiopian 🇪🇹 roast , OMG . Also lots of beautiful homemade bakes, especially Apple Cake and the Almond and Chocolate Cake, great pastries, we had the spinach and feta also a classic sausage roll on our first visit. Cakes galore on the second 😉😋😍 We will be back Jay, don’t know how soon, but if we’re anywhere close we will be dropping by for sure. FANTASTIC INDEPENDENT COFFEE SHOP.

Really nice coffee. Various choices of bean. No extra charge for oat milk. Met some lovely dogs. The guy serving was very welcoming and kind. Would recommend the oat iced mocha. More vegan cakes/pastries would be my only change.

Without a doubt, my favourite coffee shop in the area. My little family and I have become regulars, and my partner often grabs me the best Dirty Chai Latte from here. I can honestly say they serve the most delicious gluten-free cakes I’ve ever tasted. It’s always such a joy to be greeted by someone so down to earth—the kind words shared by you today truly made us smile Lucy, Toby & Nora

Just what a little cafe should be! Fantastic coffee and tea choices, the best latte ever! Great Cakes and pastries and a warm welcome by someone who is obviously passionate about what he provides to his customers! Top notch!

Simple the best coffee you'll get on the south coast and points north. We always stop/detour here for coffee when we head this way. No other coffee (or cake for that matter) comes close. First class drinks and service.

Excellent quality coffee and service! Better than any coffee we found in London. We bought Americanos the first day we were visiting and then came back every morning for our 4-day stay!

Popped in a couple of times while surveying in Hordle. Cute cafe with very friendly staff. Always up for a chat. Good time vibes and positive attitudes. Do a great Full English Breakfast.

Finally popped in having driven past so many times. Couple who run it are very friendly. Lovely place. Breakfast was top. Awesome :)

Nick is so friendly, he always looks after us! A great cup of coffee and the bacon sandwiches can be a life saver...

Nice friendly staff with free WiFi
