This place is such a hidden gem! Had a delicious coffee and toastie made vegan especially for us. Thank you, can’t wait to come again! ��
Great place to relax over a coffee. They cater for all diets. Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian. On the plus side its dog friendly and tucked away from the main thoroughfare in Swanage. A Jewel in the Swanage Crown. I would heartily recommend

Very quaint and different, lovely teas and coffees with a big selection of home made food. Great, friendly staff highly recommend!
Visited here last week and love it, great coffee and scones and catered so well for gluten free diets. Highly recommend.
The cutest coffee house in Swanage - and a hidden food lover's paradise with a lovely warm welcome. Thanks so much to all the team there for providing a fab service - and fabber coffee �
I make a beeline for this amazing cafe each time i walk from Studland Bay, across the coastal path to Swanage. I consider myself a regular now as this is my 4th visit in as many months. What a great team, great food and great coffee!
Excellent coffee and cakes yesterday in great surroundings and with super - friendly staff. Wish we were round the corner to come here regularly!
What can I say. Purbeck Nordic Walking just loves this place. I may even be slightly addicted to the amazing coffee. As for the brownies and Almond Tarts. Lets just say we all need to do long walks after we have eaten xxxx
A high quality coffee house serving outstanding coffee, scrumptious home baked cakes and scones and with a colourful and eclectic interior. Friendly and coffee-savvy staff. Very fortunate to have such a place in Swanage. Grateful. :)
Best coffee in town without a doubt, friendly welcoming staff and cosy comfortable ambiance. My only request would be the option for a large mug of the delicious coffee. Look forward to my next visit. Thank you.
Lovely little coffee house - great food and cakes would recommend the Swedish Milk Cake.
Brilliant - there is no other word. One of the best for coffee and lunch in swanage
Those chocolate fudge brownies are amazing, we had them as a treat today.
Very unusual decor, great coffee and carrot cake to die for!
Not only is the coffee amazing! The food is delicious and the cream teas are to die for! Great service and a lovely welcoming atmosphere! Will be a regular
We visited 3 times during our weeks holiday. Lovely little quirky cafe with delicious homemade cakes, odd bits of china and furniture, friendly warm staff and something wonderfully lovely about it x
Very nice lovely staff food looks amazing will go back thank you
Recently discovered Java which was recommended to me. It’s fantastic, just off the main high street if you don’t know Swanage it can be difficult to find ( it was for me originally) the place has a real buzz out it and gets very busy
The cakes are the best around ( I’ve only tried the cakes) they are just way better than the mass brought offer in most coffee shops I believe most are vegan and GF not something that bothers me, but is a big plus for many.
Service is always warm and friendly. Coffee is excellent served in an array of decorative China!
Without doubt the best in Swanage by far
We walked past this place, taking a shortcut back to our car, just as it was closing, one Friday evening, and thought it looked worth a visit, so we called in the following morning, before leaving Swanage for home. It's decorated in a really nice, quirky style, and the coffee and cakes are next level. On a recommendation from the girl behind the counter, we shared a sweet potato, rhubarb and almond cake with a creamy topping. It looked good, but we expected it to be a bit full on, with sweet butter cream icing on top. It was better than that. The creamy topping was more like mascarpone - perfect with the rhubarb, and with a couple of fresh, juicy blackberries pressed into it that were a lovely finishing touch. We'll definitely be back!
A very enjoyable lunch stop, with good quality enjoyable food. A1 and ***** though I suggest that it would be sensible to provide meals as described on the menu, with the generous additions serviced up separately - to be added to taste.
Dedicated staff and wonderful decor.
Only had a latte and it was delicious. Staff friendly and so were some of the locals, highly recommended. Really nice to see an independent coffee shop doing so well and truly deserved.
Friendly staff and lovely food. My coffee was also great. Have already returned already and suspect we will go again before our Dorset holiday is over. The portion size is good which helps if you've done a morning walking. I was particularly impressed by the salad that came with each dish - it wasn't just a few leaves added as an afterthought, but really complemented the plate. Hopefully my photos do it justice.
Just updating my review on my return this year to Swanage. Java is still the best cafe in Swanage and possibly the best I've been in anywhere. Food is great, fresh and creative. Staff still super friendly.
We’re so glad we found this little gem tucked away in Swanage- my partner being vegetarian and myself vegan, finding good food we can enjoy around here has been a challenge, so we were delighted to find Java. Their food is delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality and portions you get! We will be returning
Wonderful find in Swanage and another great example of using Google reviews to find a decent place. £14 for 2 X coffees and cakes . Lovely courtyard and safe to put bikes in. Will return.
The place was full when we arrived for lunch, and for good reason! Delicious home cooked and healthy food, wholesome dishes and hearty portions served on crockery that reminded me of home. Great character and unlike anything else in the area. Pop in!
Nice little hidden gem which was full up and which offered some delicious cakes and great vegetarian and vegan options.
Main meal was the facon (vegan bacon) and mushrooms on toast which was enjoyable and the staff were very helpful and friendly when asked about the vegan options.
I woul definetly eat here again and would recommend it to others.
A little hidden away, but this vegetarian cafe is worth finding. All food is cooked fresh, and the portions are large. Very excellent tasting coffee. My only complaint would be the prices are a little high. But sometimes you have to pay to get something good.
