A lovely little cafe with loads to offer. I'm a gluten free customer who finds it hard to eat out. This little cafe offers a gluten free breakfast and a scone tea. The breakfast was served hot with a slice of gf bread and butter. Bacon was of good quality with the egg being cooked perfectly, beans were hot and the mushrooms were fresh, the sausage was of good quality also. Overall the breakfast with a pot of tea was lovely.

We came here to celebrate my Mother in law's 80th birthday. We had a great meal, and were seated in a curtained off private area, that made it feel extra special and intimate. We had a combination of meat, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes, which the staff explained very carefully to us. It made for a very special evening.

Amazing experience, friendly staff, lovely food and catered for my vegan and dairy free needs. Soup was delicious and my husband enjoyed the fish, saying he found it more yummy than Tandy's fish in sandbanks. Would recommend and come back. Decor is also so great and chairs comfy. Only feedback is gluten free bread could have been more healthy (wholemeal/seeded).

Fantastic place, lots for the whole family if paying for adults to play. Free to spectate. But I'd say treat yourself to at least one hour of play and play with the kids, challenge them. Eve time is over 18s. The food and drinks are fab. My only complaint is not enough gluten free, just fries. Suggestion would be a Sen hour at weekend or one eve where machines are quieter and less people Can't wait to go back.

I love it here! I had a superfood hot chocolate & a slice of homemade gluten free cake. It is so nice to finally have a place like this in Poole where you can get healthy food options that cater to a range of diets. I have already recommended it to friends and family members and will definitely be going back again!

Was a really great experience! We went there as a group of work colleagues. They offer starters, mains and dessert and it's a real eye catch. The taste is really awesome!! I had the prawns as a starter and lamb shank as main and it was absolutely delicious. 🤤 Big bonus as well that the whole menu is glutenfree unless a dish has a "g" attached. I'm coeliac and have been okay afterwards, however always recommended to check with them in person, so they can advise you on the dishes. Staff has been very friendly and helpful in explanations. Toilet is in a good condition as well, so overall 5/5 experience, would always go again here!
