Lovely location and lovely food! We ordered a crab sandwich, homemade quiche and sides. All were really tasty and fresh. There was so much choice it was hard to decide what to have! The pastry section had a great selection too. The Victoria sponge cake was very light and moist - highly recommend. The decor inside is cosy and they allow dogs which is great!

This is a nice cafe on the harbor at Poole. The place is a quaint little place next to the waterfront on a busy stretch. It’s a cafe but it also sells some products. So you might have some people looking at the shelves around you. They also have some nice outdoor sitting. We ordered coffee and a goat cheese and sweet potato pie and Beef and Stilton pie. The pies were both served with some salad and were both good but not amazing. The coffee was fine also. It’s a good place for a brunch after a walk around the harbor. Overall a nice place sitting next to the harbor with some decent food

We had the full English breakfast it was just amazing... we both do not like beans, so when ordering, we told the waitress who very promptly asked what would we like extra of instead of beans we told her in a short space of time our drinks were brought over to us closely followed by our breakfast Thank you

Great cafe in such a lovely location overlooking Poole Harbour! If you manage to get a seat outside at the right time of day, this can be quite a great little sun trap! My family and I had coffees and cakes and personally the coffee was spot on and the blondie was one of the nicest I’ve ever had! The staff are also very friendly and are accepting of your four legged friends! Would recommend giving this cafe a try even for a cake & coffee or perhaps even a bite to eat for lunch! Very nice!
