Spent a day in Dorchester & after two cups of rather mediocre coffee I came upon this place. Lovely coffee that actually tasted of coffee rather than insipid brown milk. Wonderful homemade fruit cake. Forget the other cafes in town. This is the best by far �
Popped in for tea and cake yesterday afternoon. Delicious home made cake, friendly staff, all together a great place to go for a sweet treat when visiting Dorchester.
Lovely place � cakes are gorgeous and always made to feel welcome!
This cozy friendly place has the loveliest selection of home made cakes and a brilliant menu loved it x

It is always lovely to be in the little cafe.
Everytime we are on holiday we go to see John in his cafe and have really nice food.
Recently moved to Dorchester and came across this place. Brilliant atmosphere great food and fantastic service will defiantly come in again :)
A very pleasant experience. Good food and friendly service.
Excellent Homemade cakes and good friendly service.
Amazing food, great atmosphere would defo reccommend :)
Home made, good value & pleasant friendly staff
Lovely place for some lunch. Staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. Daughter was happy with kiddies menu too!
Very nice cafe, good and friendly service, nice menu. I had steak and kidney pudding with mash and green veg, very tasty. Staff and owner were very welcoming with our dog, too. Recommended!
What a wonderful find, we only happened upon the cafe by chance. The staff were warm and welcoming. Or food was of high quality and extremely delicious. We are aiming to go back soon and we would most definitely eat here again. There were also lots of homemade cakes, none of which we had however it looked like you may not stop at one (Even though you should). Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Last week I was wandering around Dorchester with my dog "biscuit" looking for a dog friendly place I could get a cup of tea and a snack while my car was being serviced. The lady's in this establishment are absolutely brilliant, so friendly, and couldn't do enough for the dog. An added bonus is that a pot of tea and a toasted tea cake were really reasonably priced. I will definitely be back, with or without "biscuit" thank you ladies.
Excellent cafe/tea-room in the historic town of Dorchester.
Breakfast, as it should be, served all day. Reasonably priced.
You can choose your own combination or go for one of their specials.
Various light lunches are available also, a nice selection of cakes to choose from for afternoon tea.
We really enjoyed our breakfasts with hot mugs of good coffee. I might have preferred to have a more meaty sausage.
As we were so well looked after by a lovely pair of such lovely young ladies, I couldn't complain about a thing.
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.
We always make a beeline for this place when we are in Dorchester, I first visited about twenty years ago and it has barely changed (in a good way!). The host is an absolute gent, one of the last of the old school where the customer is made to feel like the star and you can tell the business is his passion. The cakes are reasonably priced and the food is excellent, we're just sorry to live so far away that we can't visit more often! We look forward to seeing visiting again, whenever that may be 🙂
Wonderful atmosphere a welcome for small dogs and elderly people, mixed menu, healthy options and the direct opposite, as the owner tries to cater for all.Reasonably priced lunch lovely cakes. Don't miss out if you're in Dorchester.
We had a large group, were seated quickly by very friendly staff! Delicious chicken and good vegetarian options. The all-day breakfast really hit the spot! Definitely recommend the milkshakes :)
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!
Lovely little cafe, only had coffee and cake but was delighted with it. Good quality coffee and excellent homemade cake. Staff were all absolutely lovely. Will have to come back to try a meal sometime!
A good honest cafe, friendly fast service and a breakfast that fills the gap at a reasonable price. A nice touch was the specials board and the desert menu, but I had no room to try this after the eight item breakfast.
Amazing little cafè with all day breakfast. Lovely owners and staff, you will always feel welcome and the food, especially the cakes are delicious!
I really love this place. The breakfast is cooked perfectly and it’s great you can choose the elements of the meal you want. Accompanied by a mug of tea, great service and surroundings what could be better!
LOVE this place, as said before, all the staff are so welcoming both with ourselves and our dog. The menu is plentiful and a huge variety to choose from. Loved the Bubble & Squeak, bacon and eggs. We quite often travel to Dorchester and always come here to eat. Lovely people and were so lovely with Barney our Shnauzer and spoilt him with love and treats.
A little gem with wholesome food and the friendliest staff I've had the pleasure of being served by in a very long time. The amount of guests who were clearly regulars also speak to the quality of both food and people. Perfect place for lunch, or to try the many gorgeous sponges and cakes!
Walked in hoping for English Breakfast at 12.30, really pleasant guy met us at the door and took our oder, food was lovely and the staff were so friendly, dog treats given to the pooches...well impressed!
Wonderful tea room. Welcoming atmosphere, great food and cakes. Cannot recommend enough, so good we had breakfast and then went back for cake after our bimble around town. Thank you 😊
Lovely people lovely food we had cream teas and some cake ( for the cake lovers this is heaven) but portion size is huge still comes highly recommended
