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!

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.

Many thanks for your comment. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit. X
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.

Thank you so much for review. It’s means a lot. X
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.

Thanks so much Matt. It was a pleasure having you with us. If you’re ever in Dorset again come and say hi. X
Popped into this café for a coffee stop during the afternoon. I had previously visited maybe a year or two ago but the inside was not as I remembered it. It turns out there has been a new owner hence the changes. Whilst I didn’t eat this time, looking at what’s on offer, I will be back. Oh, and the coffee was great btw.

Thank you Paul. Your comments are very much appreciated.
Brilliant coffee and a good selection of sweet and savoury food. Nice friendly owner. Can easily hold a conversation without having to shout over noise . Probably my favourite cafe in town now

Quirky. Very welcoming. Excellent food & drink. Dog friendly..a great find on our road trip.
Good coffee, great cake, very welcoming. No outdoor seating but they recommended a beautiful community garden just around the corner to go & enjoy my takeaway 🙌🏼

Today I was introduced to this wonderful gem of a cafe, close to the centre of Blandford. The I only came in for a cup of tea and 3 cups of coffee, with me a two other gents. The gentleman behind the counter with a mostash was wonderful kind and polite. The service was simply outstanding. He was funny, polite and attentive. This is not the service you would expect in national coffee chains, but from a five star hotel. I purchased some fabulous bars of Love Cocoa with the words Thank You. I hear this place does great food. Try this place if you in Blandford, a real gem.Myself and my partner went to this lovely cafe in Blandford, Jackie was lovely and her selection of cakes 🎂 🥮 were really tasty. Well worth the visit.

Thank you for your review. It’s means a lot.
Arrived on our bi-annual visit to Blandford and headed for the Forum as our cafe of choice. Unfortunately for us but, no doubt, well-deserved, the owners are on a break until 13 Oct 2022. I hope they have a good holiday. (5 stars or else the information won't post. All previous visits for coffee and cake have been that good.)
Had a quick lunch here today with our small dog. Small but cosy. Staff were excellent. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. We had two different types of savoury tarts for lunch, heated up. Plus an excellent pot of tea (according to other half) and a good cappuccino. We also shared a generous slice of lemon drizzle cake. The other cakes looked yummy. Would definately come here again.
