I am sitting here right now, eating my bacon sandwich and drinking my can of pop and I could spend the day here. Good food, good prices, good service, cute and quirky decor. I even was one of those annoying customers who wanted her bacon fat removed (if possible, I asked) and boom, no visible fat in my bacon sandwich. Well pleased. I always rey to support local of I can and I was not disappointed today

This cafe is amazing, lovely happy staff. It was my 1st visit, I was waiting for my husband who was having physio in Roumelia Lane. I had a lovely hot panini. I get nervous when I'm out & about, but felt at ease here. My husband came in & had a sausage roll, he said it was the best he'd ever tasted xx

Being new to the area, I’m on a mission to try all the independent coffee places, and this one didn’t disappoint one bit. Bit tricky to find but really enjoyed my visit. Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of my food and drink but there are such cute vintage shops around it, and obviously so close to the beach

Staff were attentive and welcoming. I ordered the full English which came promptly and was very tasty. Clearly made with high quality ingredients. There's art on display and it's obvious this isn't just a café but a community and home for many people in the boscombe area.

How has this place only got 3 reviews? Lovely little place tucked away in a cool shopping arcade, away from the branded high street. There are real people running the place who offer a friendly welcome, some real chat and a relaxing environment; not to mention some great tasting coffee. There's a good selection of food, but don't tell anyone about the cakes, leave some for me :-) because I'll be back for sure!
