Absolutely hit the spot 👌🏻!! We ordered the steak sandwich (wife) with beans and chips (daughter), and a tuna melt with scrambled eggs on the side (for myself)—and every bite was a delight. The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned, tucked into a fresh, toasted bun with just the right amount of sauce. The beans were rich and comforting, and the chips were golden, crispy, and not greasy at all.
The tuna melt was a surprise standout—creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavour. Pairing it with scrambled eggs was a genius move: soft, buttery, and cooked just right. You can tell they care about the little details here. Great portions, friendly service, and a cozy vibe. Will definitely be back for another round!- Meal type

Very relaxed atmosphere, the staff are polite, patient and helpful. The choice of food is good and prices are fair. The food & drinks we ordered arrived promptly, they were delicious and piping hot. Well-behaved dogs are allowed, which was actually nice to see. It's a busy café so space is limited, but that just shows how popular this place is. Lovely setting, we would definitely return & would also recommend this place. Many thanks to the staff 👍 😛. Please see my pictures.- Parking

An excellent café, can highly recommend it to others!😊 Excellent food, a very friendly and warming team always. Been there several times and have never found any grounds to fault in any shape or form. It’s in a lovely location too, it’s great to walk down your food with the view of Poole Harbour less than 30 seconds away.😊😊😊

Try the breakfast bap or the granola. Good coffee, relatively high price but fair given location. Overall recommended as a nice stop during a long seaside walk

Visited this morning , as soon as we came in was greeted by a very happy lady , she said we could seat anywhere . Menu looked lovely , this is a dog friendly restaurant. Gentlemen came over to take our order . Food was amazing , gets very busy in this place . Lovely staff , lovely food . Plenty of parking across the road and down the street. Would definitely come back when visiting again.
The food was good, the staff was amazing always checking in with you, a very nice small place unique with an early welcoming charm quite busy for such a small place, I'll say quite local and very hospitable.

Every time we visit Sandbanks, always stop here for breakfast or lunch or both 😆. Food is always fresh and tasty, with no frozen food here, and always tastes like farm bought food of a high standard. Also, I ALWAYS have a decent coffee. They actually do a proper cappuccino, Lots of FOAM, not like a latte like other places do it. It's a small restaurant so it can sometimes be busy but it is worth it. Wide range on menu. Staff super friendly, and you feel like you have been there loads of times before as they make you feel so welcome.- Service

We ordered Full English breakfast, a Veggie breakfast, Fish finger sandwich and Nutella pancakes. All the items were really good especially the veggie sausages- the best I’ve had till date. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the location is also just opposite to the Sandbanks Car Park. Exceeded our expectations.

Ok so considering this cafe is next door to Rock Stiens fish shop, you would expect small portions, huge prices and snooty service. OMG soooooo different, Huge portions, reasonable prices and sensitive customer service. I had intended a pick nick on the beach, but will return to this place every time now!!!
