It’s always nice to have vegan options available at smaller cafes, and we definitely felt catered for here. Staff were very friendly, food was great, and service was fast! A great end to the cavern tour.

Nice little coffee right next to the cave entrance. Good prices, not the most delicious. But ok when you are hungry.

Nice and clean cafe with happy and cheerful staff. A good selection of sandwhiches and baps on offer and hot and cold drinks, all at reasonable prices. Shop and toilets onsite.

We came hungry to the café at about 11 am. Few guests, but we had to wait an eternity for breakfast, which was good value for money.

This is a lovely cafe, good food, and good value for money. Situated on the site of Poole Cavern. There are fantastic walks all around and some beautiful countryside and woodland to walk to Soloman's Temple.
