Today, I had the pleasure of visiting The Cornish Bakery, a delightful spot that never fails to impress. Known for its authentic local pasties and delectable French pastries, this charming café also serves hand-roasted coffee and specialty breads. With 45 locations across the UK, particularly in Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset, it’s a beloved destination for many.
Absolutely love this place! The pastries are always fresh and delicious, and the coffee is top-notch. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax while shopping. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Street!
Personal recommendation to try pistachio croissant and Cornish pudding!

Had lunch in here, ordered a cheese and onion pasty, can of coke and a raspberry croissant. The pasty was very full and tasty. I had to ask for a bag to eat the croissant at home as was full after eating. The service was good and surprised that it wasn't too pricey. Would come back again
My first time trying Cornish Bakery. I knew it is very popular and I didn’t know what was the best to have so I ordered a tortilla with a
cappuccino. Average food and environment, nothing special for lunch. The tortilla was a bit dry and just something that I didn’t quite enjoy. However, I will definitely try sausage roll next time as it looked delicious!
Really lovely place! The pasties are always fresh and tasty, and the cakes and pastries are great too. Staff are friendly and the service is quick. Definitely one of the best spots if you’re after something delicious on the go.
I loved 😍 their root vegetable cornish pasties. Delicious, scrumptious, delectible, yum! Tomorrow is another day for the same. I had the herbal tea in the cafe. They charge extra to sit and eat.
Line was continuous and fast. Someone cleared the tables often.
Bon Apetit!
Lovely bright atmosphere with plenty of seating. Lots of variety of food and everything we had was incredible!
Friendly staff, love the croissants and coffee. Only complaint would be that the queue is slow, the food is uncovered so can see flies buzzing around. And needs more seating and a better food collection system as everyone gathers at the end in each other's way. But lovely place
A five-star review for the Cornish Bakery in Clarks Village might look something like this:
Absolutely fantastic! The Cornish Bakery is a must-visit every time I'm in Clarks Village. Their traditional pasties are the real deal—packed with flavor and with a perfect, flaky crust. It's truly a taste of Cornwall right here in Street. The sausage rolls are also incredible, and the coffee is always spot on. The staff are super friendly and quick, even when it's busy. I can't recommend this place enough for a quick bite that's always delicious and satisfying.

Town Mill Bakery in Lyme Regis is a popular spot known for its French-style artisan loaves made with natural wild yeasts and no additives. The bakery's success lies in its unique formula of offering a do-it-yourself breakfast experience, unlimited toast, jams, boiled eggs, Town Mill muesli, hot lunches, afternoon tea with delectable treats like eccles cakes and apricot cranberry scones.
We always have breakfast here when we visit Lyme Regis.
The staff are so friendly and the food is wonderful .Both the full breakfast and the veggie breakfast are amazing, the mushrooms in garlic sauce are delicious and the veggie fritters are so tasty.
Lots of people visit the takeaway bakery and the bakes look delicious.
I would definitely recommend the Mill Bakery every time. 🙂

We found this place on Google Maps, so glad we went. We had our dog with us, so we ate on the outside benches. We had to wait a few minutes to be seated, but it was definitely worth the wait. The coffee was very good and we all enjoyed our food. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. It was very good value for money, we all left feeling very full.
They also have a little shop selling lovely treats
Fabulous!
What a wonderful place to enjoy lunch whilst visiting Lyme Regis.
Such a lovely buzzing atmosphere.
We were made so welcome by all the staff even though it was packed with visitors. We were with our two whippets and they were also made very welcome!
The cappuccino was the best I’d ever had, and the egg Royale was just fab.
We’ll definitely be coming back in the spring!
Just loved this place. Food is fantastic and the decaff coffee is the best had. Set down one of the side street of Lyme Regis. It's worth a visit but go early to avoid the crowds. Also has a takeaway service.
Stopped for a coffee and cake with our whippets. Very dog friendly, lovely coffee and the cake we chose was pretty spectacular. Nice sheltered seating outside with friendly welcoming staff. Foods are not the cheapest but what we had we were happy with.
I love a good bakery, so when we realised our accommodation was literally across the road from here, we visited a few times! Coffee and pastries were great. Lovely seating outdoors. Can be a bit of a wait for a table as first come first serve, especially in the morning, but totally worth it!
We had an amazing breakfast here this morning! Poached eggs on sourdough with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs on sourdough with sausage. Absolutely delicious and kept us full for our fossil walk and the rest of the afternoon! Definitely check it out if you are in Lyme Regis - but come early as it was already pretty busy by 9:30am.
We used it a couple of times and found that on both visits the staff were really friendly and the food was very good, with quite a few vegetarian options.

The cute French cafe serves an array of fresh breads, pastries, and savory items all baked in-house using locally sourced natural ingredients.

What a great find. A lovely place to relax. The choice of cakes and selection of food on offer was fantastic. Friendly staff with great customer service. Just a really nice place! Will definitely be coming back again soon to try out another of the lovely cakes!

We came for breakfast on bank holiday on Monday, which was lovely. There was plenty seating in the garden, which was cute, but a little overgrown. The food was tasty, although a little pricey; in particular, one slice of toast with some scrambled egg and mushrooms for £10 seemed a bit much. I also didn't love that all food was seemingly served on a wooden chopping board.. not sure how hygienic this was. The service at the till wasn't cheery at all, bordering on rude, which was slightly off putting.
However, the food was delicious and the coffee was good and I'd definitely pop in for a pastry again!
The desserts are divine... the staff is friendly, kind, polite, and attentive. All the facilities are very clean.
Visited for lunch, had quiche & salad and a cake, all were lovely. The furniture and decor is rustic but clean enough. There's a garden at the back which is surprisingly large and looks inviting on a hot day. Dogs are seemingly welcome.
Great little coffee shop in the heart of Wimborne. The rest of the food looked great . Really keen to try the bacon and chorizo baguette but we only had coffee and cakes so far . Decor is lovely . Staff are great , all very friendly .
Went for coffee and lunch. Great coffee made by Benjy and delivered with a smile. Then a delicious Prince's club sandwich. Good value to
Had mushrooms on toast but with seeded bread (not sourdough) + extra egg. Cooked and presented well with a touch of balsamic too. Delicious. 10.45am 25th Sept. 25.
Came in for lunch at 1pm and was pleased with the overall environment and quality of food. Staff were friendly and saw to us in now time. Thank you

Brilliant traditional bakers 👌🏻👌🏻 Huge variety and all yummy. The bread pudding is my favourite but I still have more to try:)
This is an awesome bakery. Seriously good popular treats. Not sure I would do an enormous detour to come here as there are many good bakeries in Dorset, but if you're in Bridport I recommend their date and ginger scones. So good I've been making them at home since I tried one!
Fabulous baked goods. Staff helped me order as so much choice, and she was super helpful and chatty.
Ordered
Goats cheese tart, I adored this, cheese, with more cheese, with onion, tomatoes and egg custard gumminess
Cheese straw, more cheese than straw excellent!
Cheese nut, onion pasty - definitely different, tasty and packed with flavour
Cinnamon pastry - as I love cinnamon, flaky and buttery
Apple Cake - delicious, hubby scoffed the lot in seconds, and is currently looking up recipes online.
Will be returning here.
A really nice bakery. Very tasty almond croissant.
The most amazing bakers ever. The staff are so helpful and friendly. But I do have to say, Their pasties are the best I've ever had. Being a delivery driver I've had a few pasties, but none that tasted as good as theirs. Highly recommend trying this bakers 😃
We had read many good things about this bakery and drove two hours to try it. We tried several items and all were pretty average. The brownie was our favourite but overall we weren’t that impressed. Nothing bad, just didn’t live up to the expectations we had. To be fair, it was also near closing time so it seemed many products may have been sold out.
These was one of the best bakers I had the pleasure of buying from. There products taste so good and there is certainly a great deal of choice to choose from. Well worth a visit. It most definately gets a 10/10 from me. I am also not easy to please. Well done guys, I will be coming back for more.

Additionally, the bakery serves cream teas, hot chocolate, tea and coffee at its National Trust tearoom. The bakery is well-known for its award-winning breads made using traditional methods with slow overnight fermentation. Guests can also enjoy British dishes at this charming bakery.
Love this place. Traditional bakery in the centre of Corfe Castle village. Always popular and very reasonable.
Today (Sunday) I went in just as they opened and had a couple of delicious crusty (yep, proper crusty and on a Sunday too!) rolls with sausages and a coffee. Absolutely lovely!
Mark G — Google review
Amazing local bakery in Corfe. The sausage roll and steak bake were incredible. We also bought a loaf of bread which was delicious and everything is very reasonably priced. If you’re around Corfe, get yourself down!
A good bakery is a joy and this is one of the best in Dorset. Despite being in the main tourist village their prices are normal and it's proper traditional cakes and sarnies all the way. You can get a full picnic and take it up to the castle. It's very popular and queues are out the door normally. But the staff are really efficient so you don't wait long. My favourites are the sausage rolls and scones. They definitely deserve all the awards they've won.
We have been here many times over the years but this year we came a bit earlier and there was no queue which was good for us.
We had the large Cornish pasties and they were very nice. Fresh and hot. The vegetarian pasties were not as nice with the wholemeal pastry. They would have been better in my opinion with the traditional pastry.
The cakes were delicious. Really fresh and tasty. The prices were reasonable with the large pasty being £4.50 and the cakes around the £1.10 mark.
The staff were friendly and it made a nice lunch for us.
We regularly visit Corfe and the surrounding area and whenever camping we arrive early at Corfe Bakery for a lovely crusty breakfast roll!
The staff are always lovely and we have never had anything but tasty goods both sweet and savoury , a smile and politeness.
I’d recommend arriving early so not to queue but the popularity of the bakery means an occasional queue.
Seriously the best bakery in the area. I had chicken and leek pasty, cheese and onion slice, florentine and chocolate/rum ball. The pasty… the best I have ever tasted! I recently visited Cornwall and was excited to try local pasties but honestly… none of the Cornwall pasties reaches anywhere near deliciousness of Corfe Castle Pasties. If you feel like I am wrong, please tell me where they have better and I am happy to go, thy and review. The cheese and onion slice…ulala…rude how good it is. Florentine was lovely and crunchy. Only the rum and chocolate ball was not up to expectations. There is no rum. Maybe you should change name to chocolate ball. It’s disappointing if one expect punchy rum taste and nothing happens.
Other than that, this place is definitely worth of visit with empty stomach.
Lovely village bakery. We have been coming for years on our visits to Corfe Castle and Swanage. Food delicious and the best filled Cornish pasties I haver ever experienced !
The premises are very small - to be expected in an old period building but I do wish people would not bring their whole family of 6 inside when they have already decided what they all want outside! They could see that it was already packed inside! Not your fault but just a reflection on people and their immediate needs!
Avoid going here where possible. Never have I come across such miserable rude women. At 8:30 am the woman opened the door and my friend and I greeted her with good morning and a friendly smile. Her reply was."well it was". I looked at her and said oh it was lovely until you opened the door to your clients? And she nodded!!! They were miserable when serving and I witnessed them serving people behind me in the same manner. If they are the owners, then there is no hope. If they are Staff and you are the owner sack them! Thank goodness for tourists otherwise you'd be closed. As a relative local, I will make sure I never use this bakery again.

Nestled in the heart of Sussex, the Famous Hedgehog Bakery is a hidden gem for bread enthusiasts. Although their artisanal loaves are crafted miles away, they stand out for their exceptional quality and flavor that simply can't be matched. Visitors rave about the delightful experience at their bread-making workshops, where a warm welcome and knowledgeable staff create an inviting atmosphere. The authenticity of their wood-fired oven adds to the charm, producing breads that are not only delicious but also deeply satisfying.
I live in Sussex. This bread is baked many many miles away but I honestly can't find another to come anywhere near it in terms of quality and taste. Plain gorgeous and so satusfying.

Yesterday I Purchased a White Loaf of Bread from Waitrose 10/6/2021. Time 12.44 Baked by Hedgehog Bakery the bread was marked best before 12 06 21, Had i wished to make some bread crumbs it would have been perfect, it was dry and really unpleasant, the following morning i made some toast with it and it was so crisp it made fine crisp bread.
That is the last time I buy bread from Waitrose, back to the Lobster Bakery Mudeford for me.
Great bread - but they do not have a store front. Order in advance before going to pick up.
Lovely bread, cakes, tarts. Excellent quality. Highly recommend.
In my experience, it may be the best bread in the world.
A joyful day spent at a bread making workshop. A warm welcome, knowledgable, friendly people. The bread is delicious and as authentic as the wood-fired oven. Highly recommended.
Tasteless doughy and very expensive avoid this place

The most amazing day with Rachel doing a Masterclass in cupcake decorating, so patient, talented, and kind. Came away with a new skill and fell in love with buttercream flower decorating. The best teacher - will definitely be doing more in person and on line
Karyn B — Google review
We were lucky enough to book Rachel to make our wedding cake and cupcakes. From start to finish, Rachel was very accommodating and amazing with communication. The cakes were absolutely incredible and exactly what we wanted - they were so beautifully done and the best tasting cake we've ever had! Thanks again, Rachel ☺️
We cannot recommend Rachelles cake decorating classes enough. She welcomed us into her home and was a great teacher, showing patience, motivation and encouragement, allowing us group of girls to create the most incredible flower bouquets to take away! We got so many great tips, individual and group help and shown a wide variety of skills to take away and keep for life. This workshop is a really fun way to spend a morning or afternoon. The cakes and icing products are great quality too. Thankyou so much for having us Rachelle!
I had a fabulous, fun morning with Rachel for a beginners floral workshop. Under Rachel's expert, professional guidance I produced a beautiful bouquet and I learnt a new skill which I didn't think possible when I saw the intricate and detailed examples on her website. I'll be returning in the future for the next level when I've had some practice. I highly recommend the whole experience, have a go, you won't be disappointed!
Thanks Rachel.
Unbelievably detailed cakes. We had a main cake and cup cakes for a 40th birthday and the cakes were a main talking point. They really were the most detailed cakes I've ever seen and everyone commented on them. They also tasted amazing which was great as I chose a lot of colour.
Rachel’s masterclasses are truly exceptional! I recently attended a 4-hour session with her, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. Rachel’s teaching style is captivating, enjoyable, and motivating. Her passion shines through, leaving me not only more confident in piping but also eager to continue practicing and explore her online cake school tutorials. Thank you, Rachel, for such an inspiring experience!
Just had the best face-face cupcake bouquet lesson with Rachel! She is patient and make you feel at ease. She is so talented and so lovely to share her passion with us. I would highly recommend her classes.
This is what Rachel taught me on my first lesson ever making cupcake flowers.
Rachel made our wedding cake and it was absolutely gorgeous and so delicious! She even matched the colour of the buttercream florals to our wedding flowers. We were super happy and would fully recommend ☺️

Caked Patisserie is a delightful haven for dessert lovers, specializing in creating bespoke dessert tables tailored to your unique events. From scrumptious cupcakes and elegant macarons to fluffy marshmallows, they offer an array of sweet treats that can be beautifully presented with hire items. One happy customer shared their experience of a stunning tropical-themed cake crafted for a 50th birthday celebration, highlighting the professionalism and creativity of Claire, who listened closely to their ideas.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Claire at Caked Patisserie! Claire created our stunning wedding cake back in June this year and we were over the moon with how it turned out. From initial outreach, to guidance with our design, as well as infinite patience with I'm sure my many silly questions, Claire was just wonderful to work with. Claire is obviously experienced and has a beautiful catalogue of work, her flavour choices are extensive with classics to more unusual flavours. We chose orange and elderflower, lemon and lavender, and black forest, and it was all devoured by us and our guests by the end of the night! We had some fresh fruit on our cake and when Claire had some trouble finding physalis, she went absolutely above and beyond to try and source it for us. Claire was lovely to chat to, very professional, and quick to reply to emails. I cannot recommend her enough. Claire, thank you for making all of our wedding cake dreams come true!

Claire was so lovely and helpful from start to finish, she replied quickly, did a video consultation and a couple of days later sent out the delicious tasters and a few design ideas. Claire set up the cake and decorated it with the flowers from the garden at the venue and did such a beautiful job.
I would highly recommend caked
From initial contact, Claire at Caked Patisserie was professional and helpful when liaising with us. Our tasters were received quickly, tasted incredible and our consultation was clear and was really tailored to us. We also ordered more tasters as they all tasted so good! We were provided with sketches of potential options based off our consultation and communication with Claire was always faultless. Claire partnered with our florist (so we didn’t have to) to arrange the flowers. The cake was delivered and set up on time and looked and tasted amazing with great compliments from our guests. It was exactly as described in our consultation and I’m so pleased we chose Caked Patisserie for our wedding cake. If you are thinking of used Caked Patisserie for your wedding (or another occasion) I wouldn’t hesitate! If I could give higher than 5 stars, I would. Thank you again.
Caked Patisserie gave us everything we could have wanted and more for our wedding cake! Initially, we were uncertain about investing in a cake, but once we discovered Claire, it became clear that a wedding cake would be an unmissable decision! We loved the process of selecting our cake samples and receiving them through the post to make our final choice.
Claire helped us design a cake that was personal and unique to us, expertly bringing our vision to life. She provided fantastic advice throughout the process, ensuring every detail was perfect. The cake turned out to be stunning and became such an exciting part of our day.
We are so glad that we chose Caked Patisserie for our wedding cake and would highly recommend Claire to everyone!
Having stumbled across Caked by chance on Instagram, I have been totally blown away by Claire's service in wedding cake planning. Claire was knowledgeable about different types of cakes and what would/wouldn't work with our set up, and even touched on weather conditions. She provided a delicious tasting selection pre-consultation and several designs post-consultation, was flexible with design changes, informative about flowers usage and transparent about her pricing. The 5-tier cake looked stunning on the day, tasted delicious and we received plenty of compliments. Could not recommend Claire enough - huge thanks!
Claire did an amazing job with my wife's birthday cake for her 40th. Exceeded my expectations and my wife was chuffed to bits with it. Delivery was spot on as well with great communication from Claire. Will definitely be using Caked again for future cakes.
I was absolutely delighted with the bespoke tropical themed Cake designed and baked for my Caribbean-themed 50th Birthday party by Caked Patisserie. Claire was professional, friendly and listened to my ideas, creating together a delicous beautiful cake with three different flavours, bespoke ombré buttercream icing and tropical flowers. It was absolutely delicious with plenty of portions to eat at the venue and guests to take home. I appreciated delivery to the venue to make everything stress-free. Highly recommended Claire for special occasion cakes!
Claire did the cake for our wedding cake in September 2019 and it was absolutely incredible.
We went for a tasting in the summer and all the flavours were delicious. Wedding cake has a bit of a reputation for looking great but tasting awful and that was definitely NOT the case with Claire.
Each layer we chose was a different flavour and decorated immaculately! I feel like I should also point out that the flowers on the cake were not real. They were all made from Claire's insane sugar flower work. We honestly couldn't have been happier with the finished result and all of our guests said it looked and tasted amazing.
If you're looking for a beautiful and fully bespoke wedding cake I would call Claire and I'm definitely going to be recommending her to everyone we know who gets married.

Wow , what a trip back in time.Pure nostalgia, a trip down memory lane when bakers were bakers.The smell of freshly baked goods was enticing. Bought their dorset apple cake which was without doubt the best I have tasted.Will be back for more and now my go to place for heavenly tasting bread and cake.
Thank you.
Great find - highly recommended 👌 Visited here twice during our week-long stay in one of the nearby villages. Friendly staff who were happy to take us through their variety of produce 🍞
Lovely country bakery. Really good scones, plain and cheese. The bread looks good as well.
We had seeded cob loaves, doughnuts and scones, all really tasty and at a good price. The bread especially was fantastic, 👌and helpful, friendly staff. Thank you. 😊
Really lovely bakery. Incredible smell as you walk by and lots on offer to choose from (we've tried the pasties and the bread). To top it off the staff are very helpful and friendly - would definitely recommend paired with some local butter!
Bread great. Jan doughnuts good, and iced bun good. Only one croissant left two minutes after they had opened, which seemed rather odd. Opened at 9am, although their web site said 8am, and owner clearly had no plans to correct this when I mentioned it to him.
We will return for more of the bread, though!
Very good. No filled rolls, but there are savoury pies and sausage rolls.

The service from Penelope was truly wonderful from start to finish, capturing our ideas perfectly, translating our vision into beautiful initial designs that exceeded our expectations. On the big day, we were blown away by the stunning cake – it was a true work of art that became a centerpiece of our reception. But the beauty wasn't just skin deep – the cake was absolutely delicious, with guests saying how amazing the flavours were. Penelope delivered on both style and substance, making our wedding day even more special.

My husband and I had Penelope make our wedding cake, it was absolutely gorgeous. From the design being everything we wanted it to look like to the fact she even included our dog taking a bite out of the cake. The cakes themselves were so tasty and we are so glad we have the top layer to ourselves.
Everyone was also obsessed with it especially the sugar lily.
Thank you so much for our cake.

We met Penelope at the Larmer Tree wedding fayre where we immediately fell in love with the delicious cake on offer. We ordered some tasters to our home and were spoilt for choice. We found it almost impossible to choose the flavours for our wedding cake as they were all delicious. After much deliberation we decided to go for a 3 tier cake with vanilla and malt, chocolate orange fudge and milk chocolate praline layers. We had a great video call with Penelope where she helped us get the design and look narrowed down. We wanted to have a bit of a Cornish theme cut into the side of the cake, which was no problem for Penelope. She sent us great drawings and we chose the design we liked.
The cake was an absolute triumph. The guests absolutely loved it and couldn’t get enough. Everyone told us how delicious it was and were blown away by the 3 different flavours. They loved it so much they asked for more pieces to be cut. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted.
We are already thinking of excuses to celebrate something so we can order Cocoa and Whey cake. We will definitely be returning customers. Thank you again Penelope!
Our cake was perfect!! It was the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen and it was exactly what we wanted. It was also genuinely the nicest cake I’ve ever tasted in my life. We had three different flavours for each tier, my personal favourite was the passion fruit and white chocolate. We highly recommend Cocoa and Whey!

Penelope made our wedding cake for our May wedding this year (2024) and we chose her raspberry and champagne and chocolate and vanilla flavours for our three tier case. Honestly the most delicious cake I have ever eaten it blew us away and all of our guests. It also looked absolutely stunning. Penelope has been lovely to work with is super calm and very organised. I would highly recommend couples choose Cocoa and Whey for their wedding cake, all of Penelope's flavours are absolutely dreamy. She also liaised with our venue for setup and decoration etc as well as our florist which made things very easy for us. Thank you Penelope, you are simply amazing and a star wedding supplier.
We could not have picked a better wedding cake supplier for our wedding. Penelope was fantastic at communicating from start to finish and understood our vision for the cake exactly. Not only did the cake look stunning but the taste was truly spectacular. We had three layers: lemon and raspberry, lime and coconut and chocolate orange fudge. They were all delicious flavours and we have received so many compliments about how tasty the cake was. Our only regret is not to be able to have eaten more of the cake ourselves because it got eaten so quickly!
Penelope created the cake for our wedding day. From the first time we spoke, she completely understood our vision for the cake and this shone through in the sketches she provided for us. The cake itself was perfectly set up, and Penelope worked with our florist to create a wreath of foliage and forget-me-nots for the cake to stand on. It was simple and elegant, exactly as we imagined, and absolutely delicious. We’d recommend Penelope to anyone looking for a cake maker for their wedding.
We ordered our wedding cake from Cocoa and Whey after doing some research online, and oh my goodness, words cannot describe how absolutely blown away we were by it!! It was an absolutely stunning presentation, and the flavours were just incredible! Penelope worked with us to design the cake of our dreams, and we could not have imagined a better cake. We had so many compliments on it! We really lucked out finding Penelope, and will be recommending her to everyone we know. There were a handful of people at our wedding in the process of planning their own weddings, that were already asking where we got our cake so they could book the same! We wholeheartedly recommend Cocoa and Whey to any and everyone needing a cake for any occasion. And she’s an absolute doll to work with to top it off!

I just want to say a big thank you Jenny for the amazing cake you made for Lucy’s birthday last Saturday. Lucy was pretty overwhelmed by it when we presented to her. The sponge was so light and it tasted delicious.
Did a Van Gogh cake for my daughter’s 16th birthday, one layer red velvet and the other coffee cake, her favourites! As you can tell from the photos, the design on the cake was almost identical to the starry night painting and tasted amazing! My daughter was thrilled. Was very accommodating, friendly and even walked the cake to the car for us. Top service. Would highly recommend.
Ordered a cake for my husband's 50th birthday. I found Jenny’s website by chance and decided to order a cake based on the excellent reviews. The cake was AMAZING 🤩 both by the way it looked and tasted ! My husband was delighted and we will definitely come back again . Thank you Jenny 💯
Absolutely perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and delicious cake for our October wedding! Jenny took all our wishes on board and went above and beyond - would highly recommend to anyone ☺️
Jenny Is a Fantastic Cake Maker. Jenny has made so many cakes for my Family. She is always particular to detail making sure that everything I design is put into the cake and always happy to give her advise when designing a cake, I will continue to use Jenny coast cakes indefinitely nobody else makes my family’s cakes except Jenny. Below are all the fantastic cakes she has made for me over the years
Coast cakes (Jenny) has done all my children’s mile stone cakes - my daughters 16 and 18th birthday and my sons 16th birthday .

If you're looking for a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, look no further than Coast Cakes and owner Jenny. I recently had the pleasure of ordering a cake from Coast Cakes for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the result.
Jenny is a true artist when it comes to cake design. From the moment I reached out to her with my vision for the cake, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating.
Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was also delicious. Jenny uses only the highest quality ingredients, and it shows in the taste. My guests raved about how delicious the cake was, and several even asked for Jenny's contact information.
Throughout the entire process, Jenny was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. She made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. I would recommend Coast Cakes and Jenny to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding cake.
Thank you, Jenny, for making my wedding day even more special with your amazing cake!

We hired Tash to make our wedding cake for us and I couldn’t fault a single part of the process. Tash is friendly and helpful, always made sure to keep us up to date and that we were happy at every stage of the planning. The taster boxes were amazing and there was such a variety of flavours to try (they were all amazing and I would have had a tier of each flavour if I could have!). The cake on the actual day was perfect, looked just like we envisioned and just like the design Tash drew. It tasted amazing - confirmed by the fact that we only had a few slices left after the wedding reception! Cannot recommend Tash enough - a lovely person and an amazing baker ♥️

Tasha did an absolutely amazing job of our wedding cake, she really listened to us and brought to life exactly what we wanted. Her painted design was Incredible and looked fab. Kind, friendly and professional at all times, we would recommend Tash to absolutely everyone! We will definitely be giving you a call Tash for our anniversary 😆
Thank you so much to Tasha & Lyn for making our wedding cake. From the start Tasha has been fantastic, responding quickly to emails, keeping us up to date, giving lots of helpful advice & designing such a beautiful cake. Our cake tasted amazing and there were lots of options to chose from. We also had one tier gluten free which tasted so good! We also hired a beautiful log stand which was made by Tasha’s husband. Amazing service, highly recommend! Thank you all again.
Tash made us our dream cake for our Mediterranean themed wedding day. From our initial correspondence up until the day itself, Tash worked so well with us to make the cake of our dreams. She took the time to discuss with us our vision and then created a beautiful design that was better than we even imagined. The cake itself was so delicious and we especially loved the cherry Bakewell tier and so did our guests, every slice was gone. We recommend Tash to any couple who are looking for a showstopper cake on their special day. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Tash 😊
Tasha was so welcoming and friendly. She made the most amazing wedding cake. Gluten and lactose free. Let’s just say that there was no cake left at the end of the night. Best cake I’ve ever had. Will be ordering from her for family events again. Thanks Tasha.
I would highly recommend Tash to anyone who wants a cake that’s tastes as incredible as it looks. Tash made us the most beautiful wedding cake that matched our wedding invites beautifully, it really did look too good to eat, and really was a piece of art. The flavours Tash has to offer are all delicious, we ended up choosing 4 of them for our cake. The tasting box she creates for you is beautiful, and was so lovely to try all the flavours she has to offer. Nothing was too much to ask and Tash made the whole process super fun and easy. Such a kind person who went the extra mile for us. Thankyou Tash, we loved having you create our wedding cake.
Absolutely amazing service. The Diamond Baker brings your visions to life and works so closely with you with her expert ideas. You can honestly leave it with her put all your trust and be so thrilled with the outcome. We used the Diamond Baker for our wedding and my 40th birthday cake and they are 100% the best cakes ive ever tasted in my life! Id only ever book with the DB, cant fault and Cant wait to order again with such unique beautiful designs and flavours.
I have had several orders from the Diamond Baker for special occasions including my wedding cake. I can honestly say that these are the most delicious cakes I have ever eaten. I was able to choose every aspect of my cakes to suit my taste. Not only that, every cake is a work of art, either made to your own design or from the ideas of the Diamond Baker. I would give an unconditional 10 out of 10 and guarantee that you will be delighted by these wonderful cakes.

Andrew B — Google review
Just had the pleasure of eating one of your brownies in a Taste of Devon hamper. Best brownie ever! Just had to find you on Google and let you know. Will be ordering more if possible . 5 Star!
Bought some of Jessicas Cakes & biscuits in a farm shop. They were absolutely delicious. I had a Cherry & Coconut cake ,a fruit cake and 4 packets of scrumptious biscuits. They are perfect for any occasion, Weddings, Funerals, Parties , Perfect for cafes to serve with beverages. We just had ours for a teatime treat! Excellent recipes & excellent Value for money!
I bought a chocolate biscuit slice the other day at a small deli near my office.
The description seemed enticing and for a reasonable price, I bought it in addition to my tuna and cheese baked potato (no mayo). Upon opening the packaging I found the cake crumblier than I anticipated, but took a bite none the less.
There are no words to describe how disappointed I was with both flavor and texture. Even writing this is forcing me to relive it in my mind. How it can be both dry and soft at the same time is beyond me, but the most disappointing thing was yet to come . . . .
As I neared the end of this dreadful mouthful, it became apparent that I would need some water to clear my throat as the bits of nuts and biscuit were catching, making cough.
Would I buy a Jessica's cake again? Probably not.
I've had the carrot cake, the coffee and walnut cake and some of the cupcakes from Jessica's Farmhouse Cakes. I have always been so happy with the quality! Great cakes for any occasion! Give her a try!
I attended a friends birthday last month and the celebration cake she had was amazing. Luckily, I hadn’t already arranged a cake for my 30th this weekend. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for fitting it in at short notice Jessica.
Highly recommend Dorset Apple Cake.
Brought a whole cake to take home from our holiday.
It freezes well,that’s if we haven’t eaten it all very soon.
bought 2 10" Dorset apple cakes to take home to Northampton recentlyand was dissapointed with both cakes as the apple had sunk to the bottom giving us the dreaded soggy bottom

Absolutely top class experience dealing with GC Cakes! Georgina is incredibly creative, a lovely lady to deal with and an outstanding cake maker! Our wedding cake was highly praised by our guests on the day and well into the days following! Being able to sample all the delicious flavours in the form of cupcakes before booking was a wonderful touch. They were all delightful, making it tricky to choose. A nice problem to have! Thank you Georgina for your excellent service. Worth mentioning here that GC Cakes also provided a superb cake for my Dad's 70th Birthday earlier this year. We were over the moon with it, it looked and tasted incredible. More orders heading your way Georgina!
Victoria P — Google review
Ordered a special cake for a 70th birthday. Georgina was brilliant made exactly the cake I wanted even down to the logo. She offered a choice of sponge which was delicious.Would definitely recommend.
Georgina made the most incredible wedding cake for us in June. From the moment we enquired with Georgina her communication was amazing, we picked up our samples from her lovely shop. There was a great choice of sample flavours to choose from, to be honest they all tasted amazing! We went for Raspberry & White chocolate, Lemon, Coffee & Walnut and Biscoff, every flavour of our wedding cake was delicious. We gave Georgina the brief of what we hoped our cake could look like, and it was even better than the photo we sent. We had and are still having compliments on the beauty and taste of our cake. Georgina also had a lovely selection of cake stands and knives that she lent us for the day, free of charge. Thank you so much Georgina!
So we didn't give Georgina any amount of notice really with only about 2 weeks. However! She absolutely pulled it out of the bag! Oh my goodness. The cake was for our 10 yr old son who is Minecraft mad and we/he was not disappointed. Exceptional. Everyone commented on how tasty it was and all appreciated the effort that had gone into making it. Highly recommended and very accommodating.
Excellent Service and delicious cake, I highly recommend GC Cakes. Georgina is very attentive to detail from how she deals with her customers to the detail on the fabulous cakes that she creates, nothing is too much trouble.
Georgina made 120 amazing cupcakes for my wedding. She was so easy to organise with, and I got everything I wanted (and more)! The cakes were absolutely delicious and looked so lovely! She even asked for my wedding colours so the buttercream could match. Georgina bought them on the day and set up without a fuss - she even provided the cake stand and a diagram of the flavours on each tier! Such amazing service at a such reasonable cost! I would highly recommend GC Cakes to anyone - thank you again Georgina!
Absolutely brilliant. Bought a cake for my mums birthday. It looked absolutely brilliant, I was very impressed with the attention to detail. Not only that, but the cake tasted amazing. Pricing was very good. 10/10 will be coming back.
Beautiful, affordable, delicious cakes, couldn't be more helpful from start to finish and very flexible with optional extras. Amazingly planned the whole thing via WhatsApp as Im not often in the country. Lemon and Elderflower sponge was to die for and perfect for our summer wedding! Thank you! Hannah and Luke

OMG - this was the best experience ever! I wanted a super special cake for my father-in-law’s 70th and Karen exceeded expectations by a million percent. I gave her a picture of his local pub and she recreated it in the most amazing detail. Brilliant service, amazing taste although he didn’t want to cut into it at first. Thank you so much! 🥰
Simon F — Google review
Kasserina Cakes made us an Apple & Cinamon sponge cake for my daughters 18th birthday & not only did it look stunning the taste was fantastic as well. We will definitely be going back for seconds, thank you Karen xx
You won't ever regret a cake from Kass. Not only is she the loveliest person, her talent is spectacular! The flavours are divine, and she really cares about delivering beautiful cakes . I've been lucky enough to sample both birthday and wedding cakes, both of which were beautifully decorated and scrumptious to eat.
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kass for many years. Her cakes have always been excellently executed and her attention to detail throughout the whole booking process is faultless, I know this from first hand experience as she designed and baked the most amazing cake for my sons 18th birthday.
I have also been lucky enough to sample many of her cakes and they are divine. You will not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to get a booking with this lady as I know she is always booked up way in advance so that should tell you something!
Highly recommend Kasserina Cakes. Kass made our wedding cake and it not only looked amazing but tasted even better. Kass sent us samples in the post with different flavours and even created a custom flavour for us. She also worked with our flourist, so that we could have real flowers on our cake. Emails were always answered quickly and she always made us feel at ease.
My wife was lucky enough to have a cake made by this talented cake maker. She made a cake that looked just like our dog! The only problem was it was so realistic (and such a work of art) we were reluctant to cut it! But we were so glad we did. The flavours were amazing, and it was moist and delicious and lasted for days afterwards. I can't recommend Kasserina Cakes enough.
Kasserina cakes are off the scale the best celebration cakes I have ever seen! Fantastically inventive, beautifully crafted and expertly detailed. I highly recommend you check them out for any special occasion.
Karen's cakes not only look amazing but taste fabulous too. Fresh, natural ingredients create spectacular flavours. Karen's creativity, attention to detail and talent shows through in all her cakes and the diversity of flavours and styles is mind blowing. 5 stars aren't enough.

The attention to detail in the presentation has also been praised.

Jenny made my wedding cake and it was absolutely gorgeous!!! She was professional right from the start sending me a taster box of different flavours. I chose the orange and elderflower as it was delicious. The guests loved it and by the next day, the whole cake was gone as it was so popular. We also ordered some tray baked which were equally as popular! Would 100% recommend Jenny for any baking!

So grateful for Jenny catering for our wedding!!! Had so many comments from the guests. My only negative feedback is that it was so delicious there was nothing to take home! Brownies also went down so well. Snapped them on my phone. They were perfect. 100/100. Thank you Jenny
You are truly missing out if you haven't already ordered Jenny's taster box!
From brownies to blondies to rocky roads to a delicious 4 tier wedding cake, I was in absolute heaven!
For future brides and grooms - Jenny is the only person you should be getting your wedding delights from!
Thank you so so much Jen for the absolutely scrumptious cake samples. We really enjoyed them and I was so gutted when we finished as they were all simply delicious. We really loved the attention to detail with the beautifully wrapped presentation box too! Very cute. The Earl Grey & Orange Blossom and Lemon& Elderflower flavours were out of this world. We're now really excited to have you work your magic on our wedding cake! Xx
Wow ive used her 3 times now, and her creativity is amazing
Absolutely divine! It was a masterpiece. Moist, flavorful, and beautifully decorated. Best cake I've ever had. 5 stars!
Jenny made us the most beautiful cake for our special day 🥰🥰🥰 we were so happy with how it looked but everyone was saying afterwards it's one of the cakes they've ever tasted. I'd recommend Crumbs N' Roses just for that but honestly Jenny made our journey of choosing a cake so easy, she was so friendly, helpful and full of ideas. We LOVED tasting the samples 😋😋😋😋 I wish I could do it all over again!
Jen baked the most amazing cake for our baby shower. She was helped us to design the cake and picked the flavours. The cake looked amazing and it was a succeed with our friends. The icing was so light and the cake moist that couldn't say no to a piece of the cake.
I'll highly recommend Jen's cake and treats; you won't regretted!

Asking Charlotte to create our wedding cake was the best decision we made. Charlotte accommodated our different ideas and made suggestions based on her vast experience. The cake was one of the talking points at our wedding and went down very well with our guests. Charlotte communicated with us every step of the way and made this part of our wedding arrangements completely stress free!
Charlotte made us an incredible 3 tiered cake for our wedding back in September on what was the hottest day of the year. She somehow managed to keep the cake looking flawless despite the tough conditions! We loved the flavour combinations Charlotte offered and found all the suggestions she had on the overall design of the cake really inspiring. We absolutely adored the finished result and so many of our guests went out of their way to comment that it was the most delicious cake they had ever tasted! We couldn’t reccomend Charlotte enough - thank you for brining our vision to life and making our day so special.

Love Cake Etc in Swanage, Dorset is a must-visit for a delightful afternoon tea. The portions are generous and the staff is incredibly nice. The cakes like passionfruit raspberry and white chocolate, hummingbird cake, and blondie with blueberry are soft, moist, and full of flavor. The venue is clean and cute with a fabulous selection of condiments to buy. It's also a perfect place for an afternoon lunch or evening tea with good vegetarian choices and hearty meals.
This is my favorite cafe. The portions are great and the prices are very reasonable! The service is always amazing. You need to try the Guinness and carrot cake, their cakes in general are amazing, some of the best I have tried and I have tried a lot of cake!! Dog friendly which is always a bonus.

Lush cake, good food and good tea. What more can a cake shop offer?
Warning - cake slices are not only really nice, they're really big.
Service has varied from amazing to ok.
Certainly back again.
Nothing to do with this place, but made me smile.....
Why did the cake go to the doctor?
Because it was feeling a little crumby!
Enjoyed our cream teas here immensely. Loads of raspberry jam, clotted cream and fresh scones. Very busy here but the staff were dealing with it very well. Will be back tomorrow for breakfast.
Omg this is a gem of a place 1 of best selections of homemade cakes I've seen! Party of 4 seated downstairs really friendly staff tried 4 dif cakes they were all 5stars-delicious!! Def recommend and return
What an absolute delight it was to have lunch here on a Saturday afternoon after a long hike nearby.
The staff are super friendly and attentive. Had a specials board sourdough toastie that came with a delicious salad. Finished with the most scrummy raspberry and coconut cake. There’s also some nice food bits for sale on the side. Coffee is tasty and very good quality.
You won’t find a better place for cake freshness and choice in probably all
of england!! I will make it my duty to return if I’m ever in the area again.
You can book a table in advance which I’d recommend as this place is super popular.
We had a very tasty lunch, the quiche was delicious and as for the cakes 🥰 the best cakes I’ve every had. Most definitely made with love. Friendly service with a smile. We’ll be back
Had breakfast here, toffee apple pancakes were great, Big love breakfast was fair, wife asked for just eggs on toast which was good. All around very good service.
A lovely Cafe/Deli. A superb range of cakes to choose from as well as good options for breakfast and lunch.

The Barn Cafe offers a lovely and bustling atmosphere with friendly staff and a variety of breakfast options. The full English breakfast is satisfying, and the cafe provides a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The food is delicious with generous portions, including great scones, making it reasonably priced for the value. It's an ideal place to enjoy a tranquil catch-up over cream tea in a well-kept environment with free parking.
What a joy to find an amazing tea menu including a choice of decaf teas - I had Kenya Decaf. Best of all, a large array of gluten-free cakes and melt in the mouth GF Brownie (Caramel Salted) I've ever had! Wish it was nearer, it would become a regular haunt.
Service superb, ambiance quirky with charming use of parasols suspended from the ceiling and little boutique type shops too. Great way to start my holiday break.

Visited for lunch today and arrived just before 12pm, the place was already buzzing! Despite how busy it was, the hostess was very helpful and managed to get us a lovely table.
Service started off a little slow, but we got our order in and I’m so glad I tried their meat quiche - it came highly recommended and definitely lived up to the praise. Absolutely delicious!
Ordering a coffee after our meal was a bit tricky, as it took a while to get the staff's attention and then another wait for it to arrive. That said, all the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout, and it’s clear the café is popular for a reason.
Looking forward to returning, and next time I’ll be sure to try one of the many amazing cakes they had on offer!✨🍰
Popped in for lunch on a weekend. Staff were very accomodating with our dog and super friendly. Decent menu and food presented beautifully, especially for the price! Our only issue was a distinct lack of chicken when we paid extra for it in a Caesar salad. Otherwise, highly recommended.
Food was reasonably priced, generously portioned, and high quality. Waiting staff were very friendly. Only reason for giving atmosphere 4 out of 5 is that the doorbell that goes off every time food is ready is very annoying 😂
We were looking for somewhere for breakfast as we were staying locally and found this little gem... Although we missed breakfast we had a lovely lunch instead... Service was good and our waitress was lovely and brought us a blanket as we sat outside as it was busy we sat outside... Great little place 👌
A fantastic place hidden away in a peaceful location. The building and decor is great, rustic and cosy. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food tastes fresh, with good quality ingredients and well presented.
I been here many times for cake and coffeee…. However I can’t leave a review for food as still waiting after 45 minutes ordered a breakfast! Just arrived, is it worth the wait? Sliced bread and pre cooked poached eggs! Service wasn’t great either! Won’t be returning no apology for the wait and cost £30!!
Lovely little place to go. Can get very busy. Food and drink very good service was good🙂

A Delightful Afternoon Tea Experience
We visited Frieda’s Tearoom for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. The afternoon tea was beautifully presented, with a delicious selection of sandwiches and cakes—each bite was so moreish and thoughtfully made. The tea itself was perfectly brewed and complemented the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. If we lived closer to Bournemouth, this would easily become our go-to spot for afternoon tea and catching up with friends. Highly recommended!
I went here for an afternoon tea on Sunday, the place is tiny and lovely! The afternoon tea is rich and worth the price. I absolutely loved it! +++
The scones were honestly some of the best we've ever had — fresh, warm, and perfectly crumbly, served with delicious clotted cream and jam. Every bite was a treat.
The atmosphere was cozy and charming, with a welcoming feel that made us want to stay for hours. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
The best breakfast and chats with the loveliest lady in Bournemouth! The food was delicious, perfect coffee and amazing tea. The place has a very charming atmosphere with great music. We'll definitely come back when we visit the city again
Amazing 💕 The sandwiches were delicious, tasted very fresh. Perfect warm scones. Super soft, fluffy cakes😍 Strawberry milkshake also super delicious. It's such a pretty venue. We did just walk in but it was early, just as we were finishing up someone walked and was told there were no tables but they could get take away, some tables did have reserved on them so I'm guessing the get booked up in the afternoons. We will definitely be going back to try more of their menu. The team working were very friendly and accommodating.
I was so hungry when we arrived I completely forgot to take a picture of the breakfast before I started it. It was very oily (see the pictures attached). The bread was soaked in margarine so I ate the edges only. The baked beans were really mushy. It wasn't value for money as we spent over £40 for two oily English breakfast and coffees. I wouldn't expect to pay more than £5 each breakfast as it was such a greasy cafe breakfast instead of a high quality boutique breakfast. I would not recommend to go here.
Cosy traditional English tea room with great food and delicious breakfast options. The staff are very friendly and I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone.

The Horse With The Red Umbrella is a lovely cafe in Dorchester which serves delicious food and friendly service. It is great to see that they still serve takeaway food in these tough economic times, making it a convenient option for visitors to the town.

A great cafe, lovely traditional British food, amazing cake and awesome service all for a fair price Their was a nice local feel with a really welcoming feel. I highly recommend The Horse With The Red Umbrella. I will be back.

I have left a review where we were very dissapointed with the Eggs benedict, paying extra for the salmon. And would like to give you a photo of what should have been served...
What a lovely little cafe on the High Street. The staff were so friendly and falling over themselves to be welcoming and accommodating, cleaning and sanitising the table best distanced from other guests. The food was freshly prepared and delicious especially the home made gluten free carrot cake. We will certainly make it a regular stop.
Unpretentious cafe with good atmosphere and excellent, friendly service. Menu choice was huge with lots of specials.
We popped in for breakfast and loved the make your own option, as someone who doesn't love bacon this was a treat! Service was especially good, friendly and quick but not rushed.
Cakes looked amazing too.
We popped in here for a cooked breakfast whilst staying at the Sleeping Bear Hotel, just up the road. The café had an extensive and flexible menu and was a nice place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Service was great and the food was delivered quickly. Everything tasted good and the price was decent as well, setting us up nicely for a day exploring Dorset.
Lovely old fashioned tea house!
The staff are lovely, the food is fantastic and it's a lovely quaint building.
The prices are fair and great for what you get; fresh tasty food...
My favourite Dorchester cake shop!
I was a bit dissapointed to be honest, we were just about to enter and was greated hastily, remanisant of a Majjorcan bar. We ordered Egg benedict with salmon x 2 plus a pot of tea for 2. We had customers climbing over us as it was tight seating. The cup and saucer served was dirty and changed immediatley, the tea was very good with hot water top up. But as for the Benedict, well, 1 overdone poached egg, should be 2 for the price, a white tastless sauce no cheese or chives, the salmon was sparse concidering we had to pay extra. Overall over priced for non quality ingredients.

Oh my goodness what an incredible place! Amazingly friendly staff and the BEST breakfast and coffee we’ve had in a long time. We tried the cuckoos breakfast and the big Scottish breakfast. Woweeeeeeeee. Absolutely scrummy. The girls were so welcoming and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you 🤩
A table is reserved, which we like but no time showing when the reservation is for. And old gentleman popped in and the reserved seat was offered to him, but he didn't take it. We were sitting behind the door. So, it's not the best experience. The flatwhite coffee was disappointing and doesn't feel like double shots. Foods average.
Always a good proper pot of tea and a great selection of cakes and bites to eat. Cake portions are very generous and I highly recommend the Dorset apple cake.
We’ve been a few times for breakfast and always amazing food. You wouldn’t leave hungry. High quality food and really substantial portion sizes. It’s great to have a different choice for breakfast. We’ve tried Spanish eggs, Scottish breakfast and avocado on toast. All delicious!
Well, this was a surprise and a pleasant one to boot. This is a golden nugget in Christchurch. The tea we had was very good and the cake my wife had was lovely. Everywhere else we tried had teeny tiny tray bake cakes "one bite and it is gone" but Cuckoo's have proper cake slices. And I found it very good value for money.
Really not what it once was. Unsure if it has changed hands but the quality of the food was nothing like it used to be. Staff were friendly enough but didn’t get the order correct despite it being reconfirmed and some of the food was inedible. You know when the mushrooms have gone a bit soft but you cook them anyway and then regret it? I don’t expect to pay for a breakfast and get served old mushrooms. We’ve been coming here for years now and this is the 2nd time recently it’s been below par. I hate to leave a negative review but it’s just dropped in quality so much and needs to up its game and perhaps move with the times. A veggie sausage wouldn’t be so difficult would it? Good luck I hope you can get back on track x
Always head here when in Christchurch. A good gluten free offering, tasty food and coffee, generous portions, great location and friendley staff. A lovely place to refresh & watch the world go by.

Nestled in the charming village of Cerne Abbas, Abbots Tearoom is a delightful spot for those seeking a quintessential afternoon tea experience. This quaint tearoom offers not only delicious treats like the renowned Dorset Apple cake but also boasts a serene garden where visitors can unwind amidst nature. While the indoor space is cozy and welcoming, it’s worth noting that dogs are not permitted inside; however, they are welcome in the tranquil garden area.
Lovely tearoom In Cerne Abbas. Simple menus of cakes, scones, sandwiches and everything needed for an enjoyable cream tea.

Nice little tea room with a pretty garden at the rear. Victoria Sponge was way too sweet. My Dorset apple cake was heated and came with custard. Nice coffee.
Fantastic tea room, the tea garden is also a peaceful place to eat and relax, great staff, brilliant food (lots of it) and very reasonably priced.. Highly recommend a visit.
Beautiful little tea room in the heart of Cerne Abbas. The menu is great and the cream tea wad lovely with warm scones.
The dog loved the doggy ice cream too.
Has WC, s and a lovely well maintained garden to sit in.
Just popped in on the way home and was happy we did....a warm welcome to a pleasant and well presented tea room.... We went for the Dorset Apple cake with custard as a treat and it was gorgeous. With gardens to sit in when the weather is good
I stopped by on a lovely sunny September afternoon and had a cream tea in the garden. This is a great spot, I received a warm welcome and the cream tea was everything it should be. I would certainly recommend a visit.
Tea room in the tourist hot-spot of Cerne Abbas. Park on the street nearby, if you can. The garden is not wheelchair accessible with many steps, even using the back gate onto the lane.
Small room indoors, dogs not allowed. Gardens are pleasant and there is good shelter at two double table spaces under a perspex roof. Dogs are allowed in the garden. The garden is very peaceful (it was empty when we visited, I expect it's noisy on a warm and sunny weekend).
We had sandwiches which come with crisps and a side salad. Not overly huge but very generously filled. Very tasty and the tea and coffee were good too. The prices are as you'd expect in a popular place, in these times of rising prices everywhere, £7.50-£9 for a sandwich so with a cup of tea that's more than a tenner each. You can have a baked potato at the same cost, with similar fillings.
We came here many years ago and it feels largely unchanged, the staff are friendly and service was prompt.
Helpful staff . Good cheese on toast excellent place for a quick snack while walking round a pleasant village.

Flirt Cafe Bar is a vibrant and quirky eatery located in the Triangle area, known for its colorful furniture and art. The cafe offers a unique ambiance that attracts trendy locals and is dog-friendly, making it a popular hangout spot. The menu features eccentric specialties such as bubble tea and the indulgent Sexy OMG hot chocolate, made with various delicious ingredients. The cafe's interior is adorned with kitschy decor, including vintage lamps and eclectic artwork.
Is this the best cafe/bar in Bournemouth?
Although we were staying in a hotel that does a very nice breakfast,we prefer to eat later without getting up too early.
Just a short walk through town and up to the Triangle.
The interior is bright and possibly a little camp.
Think pink & neon and maybe a flamingo lurking somewhere with a bit a glam.
There's wooden table's & chairs, as well as comfy sofas to sink into.
It's a very friendly and welcoming space.
You can just have a coffee,or choose from an array of freshly prepared food.
Whatever side of the fence you are,gluten free,veggie,vegan,they cater to all tastes.
But we're not any of those.
An all day breakfast is what we are craving.
As you enter,find an available seat to settle into and place your order at the counter.
This can be difficult at times,as it's a very sort after spot.
The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and arrives at the table in no-time.
The highlight has got to be the very tasty sausages. At £9.25,it's quite good value.
In fact all their prices are very reasonable for the quality and service.
In the evening they have different events as well.
Our only problem is,when we bring our boys,that's doggies. We can't get out of the place.
As so many people want to say hello to them.
This is truly the friendliest and best cafe in Bournemouth where everyone is welcome.
Oh,and our boys love all the attention.

Just popped in for lunch after a trip to the Oceanarium, well worth the walk up the hill! We were served by the owner who is absolutely lovely. I had the mac and cheese and my husband had chicken gyros. It was delicious food and the price was reasonable. Lovely atmosphere and space. We will definitely come back next time we're in Bournemouth!
Dog friendly & even more PEOPLE FRIENDLY.. situated in the heart of the Bournemouth Centre triangle, flirt amongst a parade of shops and clothes to a park. The atmosphere is very relaxed and warm, the service is very good and always with a smile, the menu is somewhat limited and moderate priced, but it’s obviously very manageable as it’s well cooked, well presented and in very quick time.. Ed the owner he’s so welcoming and friendly. It was so nice enjoying a meal in a relaxed atmosphere with our pet dog who was also warmly welcomed..
I love this place ! Stopped off for breakfast and lunch as well as supporting runner for Bournemouth 13k .top quality food, great welcome from owner Ed and his fabulous staff. Perfectly poached eggs and proper doorstop toast and plenty of butter. Great relaxed atmosphere loved offer fresh water on tables .
Come here a few times now and the food is always incredible and as far as prices in Bournemouth go, very affordable considering it’s an independent place and food is cooked fresh. Staff are always so nice too, especially the owner, and wait times are never long. Plus it’s a queer friendly space which is a bonus!!
Visited on a very sunny day, but inside was beautifully cool. Delicious cakes, fabulous coffee and a warm welcome for me and my dogs. We'll worth a visit whether you're on holiday or just need a break from shopping.
I spent the afternoon at Flirt today. I was looking for a LGBTQIA+ safe space with a relaxing atmosphere so I could enjoy reading my book for a few hours.
The staff were most friendly, who made sure I was ok, and don't mind a chat. Honestly, they couldn't have been more helpful and made me feel relaxed.
Besides a couple of cups of tea, I ordered lunch. A chicken and bacon wrap, which was huge and so tasty.
There was nothing I could fault with Flirt, and the next time I'm down in the south of England, I will be sure to visit.😘
One of my favourite cafes, breakfast this morning was fab. However the staff are so friendly and also so kind. Really hoping the fab peach iced tea makes it onto the winter menu too...

Nestled in the charming town of Bridport, Moore Than Tea is a delightful café that offers an inviting atmosphere perfect for enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea. Their menu features an array of homemade delights, including two flavors of sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with Dorset clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a slice of cake. For those looking to indulge further, there’s also the option to upgrade your experience with additional portions of cake or quiche.
Popped in on the spur of the moment from a recommendation from last in card factory. Lovely little cafe, feels really pleasant and friendly. No wait for a table and menu was surprisingly comprehensive & loads of things my partner (non meat eater) and me ( eat anything (as long as it has legs or fins) could have. Savoury Cheese scone cream tea 10/10, hot BLT with crisps 10/10, plus a great Latte and huge VIP of tea. Really enjoyed it and service with a smile. Highly recommend .

Always receive a warm and friendly welcome from the very attentive staff. We ordered the Cheese Toastie, that oozed with melted cheese and the New York Deli Toastie packed full of flavour, both were served with a honey glazed side salad, proper salad lettuce, not the usual pile of limp rocket leaves, delicious. On previous occasions we have just had coffee with a good sized slice of scrumptious cake. If you are looking for a good, freshly cooked to order lunch, then Moore than Tea comes Highly recommended 10/10
A family holiday bought us to market day in Bridport (excellent market) & we found this gem of a cafe for a late lunch. We were well looked after, there is something for everyone on the menu, the food portions were so generous & the coffee tasty. We took home some cheesecake & it was incredible. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks to the super team working there 😊
Came in whilst completing the weldmar elephant trail. Food was delicious, had two savoury scones as part of two cheese platters and a kids sandwich. Food was absolutely delicious, in the words of my 7 year old it was the best sandwich ever. Scones were amazing, perfectly baked and lovely flavours and textures. Cakes looked incredible but no space after the cheese platters!
Love the CAKE...Lemon & Blueberry.
Out of Scones, so Cream Tea not available. Dogs not allowed inside, but table outside & weather fine, so enjoyed a cuppa n cake .. lovely!
Hubby said Tuna Sandwich & Sausage Roll super duper too.
Table water provided, as was Doggy Bowl too.
Great service by a young blonde guy, thanks muchly.
Great little cafe with seating inside and out. Had a little wait but was worth it. Staff were very busy but we're still friendly and professional. We had jacket, hot sandwich plus drinks. High quality and definitely recommend.
We were recommended Moore Than Tea ...and Cake by a friend, so we stopped by to try out some of their home made food. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The service was very good as we decided to eat outside, and our order was brought outside to us. I went for the Custard Cream Cheesecake which was delicious, and liked the fact that it had biscuits added to the top and the sides. I would recommend a visit for a nice snack in the afternoon, if you’ve been walking up some of the coastal walks nearby.
What a gem. Went for coffee and had the most amazing carrot cake. Two days later went again and had full brekkie and coffee. Would def go a third time

Smashing little cafe run by lovely people. I was looked after for two whole days whilst i worked from the upstairs room. The coffee and tea is top drawer and the cakes, scones and soup were delicious.
Matthew L — Google review
This is such a cute place! The decoration is quirky and the staff were lovely. I had an amazing savory scone and the best ginger cake ever. Would definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back.
Always come in this cafe when staying with my daughter..the owner is such a lovely lady and her cakes and sundried tomato scones are the best ever also for me her loose leaf 🍃 tea is delicious 😋 if visiting Blandford this cafe is a must!!! Enjoy well done Jackie.
I love this Cafe. I usually have a coffee, and it's so enjoyable, but my love is cakes - and theirs are fabulous. A great price too. The owners are really friendly, and helpful. Plus, if you have a dog, they're allowed too. It's a lovely atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the soup had sold out and they were unable to make any amendments to the toasties, so we both had sausage rolls, which were fine for the price point, although we overheard the staff talking about how dense they were and struggling to fully cook them through, which was a bit off putting.
I was a bit disappointed as a lady came in later and was allowed to have cheese on toast, despite this not being on the menu. I would have preferred to have this if I'd known it was an option.
Excellent coffees & teas... delicious cakes & savouries... brilliant selection of chocolate etc to buy & take home... extremely friendly... cosy & relaxing atmosphere... highly recommended!!
A beautiful little café which is bright, cozy and welcoming. The coffee was delicious and the display of cakes makes it very difficult to choose. We settled on the chocolate brownie and it was definitely a wise choice. The staff were friendly and helpful in their recommendations, if you are in the area this café is a must!
Great place for soup and a scone and delicious cakes, especially the carrot cake.
Service lovely.
Will return.

Nestled on Christchurch Road in Pokesdown, M's Bakery is a charming family-run establishment that has garnered acclaim for its delightful array of baked goods. This award-winning bakery crafts all its breads and pastries on-site, boasting accolades including a gold medal for best sourdough at the World Bread Awards. Visitors rave about the impressive selection of eye-catching cakes, pastries, and freshly baked bread that make it hard to choose just one treat!
Recommended by our hungarian friends we visited the bakery just recently and bought a croissant and a sausage roll. I haven't had a sausage roll that good for years I have to say. And the croissant was a different level. We will be back to try more 100%

I always look forward to a trip to M’s. Great service and their pastries are the best in town. They always have a large selection of delicious treats to choose from, but a couple of my favourites are the fruit danishes (especially the recent fig danish) and the cinnamon rolls.
I surprised my best friend with a custom-made pistachio giant croissant, and it was a huge success! She was completely speechless — I definitely made her day with this unforgettable treat. Massive thanks to M’s Bakery for helping me turn the unbelievable into reality.
The croissant was enormous, perfectly crisp, and absolutely out of this world. You guys nailed it. Hats off and thank you so much for making this moment so special!
Phenomenal food! Every baked good—from the sourdough to the crinkle cookies and croissants—is absolutely outstanding. If you're someone who appreciates light, flaky, and perfectly sweet croissants, this place will feel like heaven.
I don’t quite understand the complaints about pricing. When you consider what chains like Starbucks charge for mass-produced baked goods—often lacking in both flavor and quality—the prices here seem entirely fair. At Ms, everything is handmade with care and consistency, which you can see!! There’s real craftsmanship and effort behind the scenes to maintain this high standard every day. In that context, ~£5 for a croissant or pastry of this caliber feels more than reasonable. Yes, £5 is money, but chances are we all pay more for parking places these days. It should be a reminder that quality matters more than quantity. I’d much rather treat myself to something truly well-made and support an independent bakery than settle for a dozen mediocre, mass-produced alternatives.
I love your work and will never stop shopping at yours! Keep up your great work and charge the sum that keeps your business running - anything else would be a real shame and loss for anyone who enjoys going to Ms.
Rant over ❤️
I love this bakery! Real bread and artisan pastries. The staff know my order when I come in! This is real food made with skill. I don’t think it’s overpriced. You are paying for quality and it my weekly treat. I will always come here - it’s the best. You could waste your money on many other bad quality products! Come here and then go eat it on the beach - that is the best way to live! Enjoy it.
Based on my experience, there is no denying that the pastries at M's are lovely and the coffee is also pretty good!!
However, with single pastry items priced at £4-£5+, two pastries and two coffees can cost almost £20 which is simply too much for a lot of people. (These prices could potentially be justified if there was an interior sit down area to enjoy the goods in—which is not the case here.)
If prices were a bit more reasonable this would be the perfect bakery! I'll continue to enjoy M's, but unfortunately for most of us visits will have to be sporadic!
I'd heard a lot about this place so I was keen to taste their produce. I bought a pastry with custard & Berry filling, this cost me over £4 for just 1! while I'm happy to pay more for a cake from an independent bakery, and this place bakes on the premises, I do feel that the price at M's for a cake was way over-priced. The pastry I bought tasted nice but in my opinion it definitely wasn't worth the price & I would not buy here again. A slice of cheesecake was over £5 Too!!
I would expect to pay no more than £3 for a pastry & maybe £3.50/£4.00 for a slice of cheesecake etc.
I recently purchased a poppy seed cake (makowiec) from this bakery, and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! As someone from Poland, where makowiec is a traditional holiday dessert, I can confidently say this was the best I’ve ever tasted. The perfect balance of sweetness and moist texture made it truly exceptional.
I’ve been a loyal customer for a while, and their other baked goods are equally amazing. I especially appreciate their sourdough bread, which is always fresh and full of flavor, and their sweet pastries that never fail to impress.
If you’re looking for the perfect makowiec for the holidays—or just a delightful treat—I wholeheartedly recommend this bakery. They truly know how to deliver quality and taste!

Feed The Soul is a health food restaurant that offers delicious and nutritious cuisine. The setting is beautiful, clean, and inviting, with friendly staff who go the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. All of the ingredients are quality assured, and there is no compromise in their high standards. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something special!
A cosy cafe on a quiet out of the way country road with ample parking.
We were greeted by Nick, very friendly and well informed on the menu's fresh & tastey items.
. Our hot drinks were perfect on this rainy day. The Golden Milk was mild and soothing, the Hot Chocolate was creamy and chocolatey - yummy.
The brunch items were amazing, with incredible blends of flavour, texture and visual appeal which made our mouths water. We were not disappointed.
It was a filling brunch, and we couldn't resist dessert to take home... More to enjoy later.
We highly recommend Feed The Soul - a wonderful dining experience with great value.

Been a couple times and quickly becoming my favourite cafe. Vegan and vegetarian menu. All home made and home cooked food which is tasty and good value for the ingredients used. The vegan cheese cakes are amazing and a must try item!
The only thing I have tried but not enjoyed so much was the sticky chai latter which for me was quite powdery/grainy texture which made me want to cough.
Sometimes service can be a little slower when busy but this is understandable as often only 2/3 staff working at a time.
Lovely relaxed and welcoming atmosphere
Really great find. 6* atmosphere: super friendly people (plus labrador greeter Poppy). This felt more like popping into someone's big farmhouse kitchen for brunch than going to eat out. Food was so great I forgot to photo it, just fell on it like a lioness. Delicious avo and eggs and a creamy veggie bean casserole, plus superlative coffee (and I'm pretty snooty about coffee). All with a seventies 6soundtrack, on vinyl.
I love everything about this place. Tucked away in the countryside in what feels like the middle of nowhere, the place itself is understated, beautifully peaceful and unless you already knew about it, you'd drive straight past. But I think that's part of the charm and even gives it an air of exclusivity! The food is incredible and you can taste the goodness in every carefully prepared mouthful. This was my second visit. This time I took my mum and sister for their first visit, who said they'll be introducing people they know to Feed the Soul too.
Thank you for a lovely lunch.
Was feeling thirsty on the way home and popped in for a cuppa and was glad we did.
We were warmly greeted and then helped us with our selection of cake and we went for the cake slices and they were lovely, you can tell they were home made as you can see the love and attention to the ingredients and looks..... We'll be back 🙂👍
Very welcoming hosts, very friendly approach. Extraordinary food. Everything simple and tasty! Recommend 100/100
Oh my DAYS 🤩 so much love for this place. It would be easy to drive past the entrance, so something to watch out for. The staff are all super friendly & accommodating.
Small shop attached which sells lots of local & health foods. Be sure to use the bathroom that has an array of hand creams and sprays. On the staff recommendation I have the Indian waffles for breakfast. It was everything I could ever have wanted. The mushroom coffee was earthy & calming. The space was relaxing, light & airy. A chicken made a break for it into the cafe which just added to the experience!
Have had take away ☕️ before when their barista Sean was there - insanely smooth coffee.
Ann and I come most weekends and can’t fault anything about the place. The friendly welcome, food and coffee is to die for. When we get the chance too, we always bring visiting friends and family. Keep up the good work guys. 🫶🏼
