Have been going to this cafe for years. Was taken over and renamed db's. Significant improvements. Cafe has good standard of cleanliness. Good range of food products and drinks. Space for mobility scooters and walkers etc. Very good hardworking staff who are polite even with rude customers. Will bring drinks to tables and take further orders without having to request. Located in centre of sovereign centre close to major retailers. Has sister cafe 'the garden cafe located at the bus station entrance which does a wide range of cooked meals which can be enjoyed in an outside private space Happy to give a 10?* rating

While the food is overpriced, compared to boscanova, Poppins, and in cups. The staff, look really grumpy, no smiles, not interested in even saying hello. It looks like they don't like each other. With really funny polite engaging staff at in cups and Poppins, I can't think why anyone would want a coffee from here

EntrĂ© aquĂ para tomar un cafĂ© mientras compraba a mediados de semana y lo encontrĂ© tranquilo y limpio, cĂłmodo y convenientemente accesible para mĂ usando un andador. OptĂ© por una oferta de cafĂ© y panecillos que tenĂa una buena relaciĂłn calidad-precio, sabrosa y servida muy bien. UsĂ© mi propia taza pero eso no calificaba para el descuento anunciado, ÂĄnecesitabas usar sus propias tazas para la venta! Ninguna de las camareras se ofreciĂł a llevarme la bandeja, asĂ que luchĂ© por llevar mi pedido, mover mi andador y conseguir sillas / mesas redondas. Normalmente pedirĂa ayuda, pero como era mi primera visita, querĂa ver quĂ© hacĂa el personal para los clientes con menos capacidades. La magdalena era maravillosa, pero el cafĂ© era un poco dĂ©bil para un barista. Es un buen lugar de reuniĂłn y adecuado para socializar, aunque es ruidoso en las horas punta.

Casi todas las mesas estaban llenas de vasos y bandejas sucias, y el suelo tambiĂ©n tenĂa que limpiarse bien, segĂșn se decĂa, las dos señoritas de guardia eran encantadoras. Es una lĂĄstima que el propietario no emplee mĂĄs personal para mantener esta salida limpia y ordenada. AsĂ que por ese motivo dale a este lugar un gran escaño.

Encuentro que este lugar es difĂcil de usar si hay demasiados haciendo cola, de hecho, incluso si el personal supera en nĂșmero a los clientes, todavĂa habrĂĄ una cola (entonces pasee por las tiendas que rodean este lugar un poco mĂĄs, mantenga un ojo en la cola) POUNCE). jaja - todavĂa estarĂĄs esperando, porque el personal siempre parece estar ocupado con 'otra cosa'.Un montĂłn de asientos, los precios de los alimentos (solo picaduras de luz) bastante aventurero, super cafĂ©.

Justo cuando las cosas habĂan empezado a mejorar con el comienzo de un nuevo miembro del personal que realmente lo habĂa tenido (Janie) visitado hoy y de vuelta a un servicio terrible, un gerente que no parecĂa tener ni idea ni realmente Cuidado y personal que parecĂa perdido ! La zona de asientos estaba sucia y ni siquiera la excusa de estar ocupado. Recupera a la nueva chica! ! ! O mejor aĂșn, ÂĄhaz que sea su manager!

The muffins are good problem is they run out early and don't restock. I want Bb's to bring back the nice smarties muffin kids liked it. Bb's has room for improvement and I hope it does.

Tuvimos tiempo libre antes de la cita en Boscombe, llamado Sovereign Center y BB's estĂĄ situado en el centro para tomar un cafĂ©. Fue justo despuĂ©s del almuerzo y solo una niña sirviĂł. HabĂa un par de otras personas antes que yo, pero tardĂł años en preparar cafĂ© en la mĂĄquina para ellos. Finalmente me sirvieron con mi pedido de cafĂ© Latte para 2. 45. ÂĄEl cafĂ© estaba muy amargo, asĂ que dejĂł la mayor parte!No volverĂ© a llamar allĂ.

QuerĂa almorzar con mi mamĂĄ y mi papĂĄ para el cumpleaños de mi madre, vi que habĂa mucho para comer con los sĂĄndwiches. Lo cual fue bueno, sin embargo, incluso antes de llegar a la caja, la chica de cabello rubio era muy grosera. Ella no tenĂa cara de emociĂłn como un trueno que hablaba a los clientes frente a nosotros como una mierda, asĂ que estĂĄbamos un poco listos para ir a la caja. Luego estaba siendo grosera con el chico nuevo que estaba entrenando frente a los clientes. Lo encontrĂ© muy profesional, lleguĂ© a la caja y ella todavĂa tenĂa una cara como un trueno que no tenĂa emociĂłn para ella.Ella fue grosera preguntando quĂ© querĂamos entonces la cosa de la tarjeta de toque no funcionaba asĂ que dijo sin rodeos que puedes usar efectivo. Entonces eso es lo que hicimos, no se disculpĂł ni nada. Luego, mientras esperĂĄbamos a que nuestro bien permaneciera allĂ por un tiempo mientras esperĂĄbamos a una anciana detrĂĄs de nosotros, recibĂa el servicio del nuevo tipo que atendiĂł su pedido y ella no entendiĂł nada de lo que Ă©l dijo y ella dijo eh.Luego, la chica rubia que trabaja allĂ, se da vuelta con el mayor problema de actitud y le da a la anciana la mirada mĂĄs sucia y dice: "EstĂĄ entrenando desnudo en eso y camina para hacer algo". La anciana estaba conmocionada y no sabĂa lo que estaba pasando. Era repugnante la forma en que hablaba con ella, no deberĂa estar trabajando allĂ en mi opiniĂłn. Fue vergonzoso que nunca tuve un servicio al cliente tan pobre en mi vida. ÂĄNo conseguirĂĄs personal con ella estando allĂ! ! ÂĄNunca volverĂ©!

Como he dicho ha sido dos veces esta semana, muy buenas ofertas que tienen allĂ.La señora a cargo muy bonito, el personal siempre amable y servicial.Solo una cosa que decir, es la señora es un solitario en la noche, y ella utilizarĂĄ es estar rodeado por grupos de niños.No es una buena situaciĂłn, y por quĂ© la seguridad de tener problemas.Creo que la policĂa debe estar llegando a mĂĄs a menudo.ÂżPor quĂ© es el lugar sigue abierto hasta las 20. 00, causa de lidl, donde la mayorĂa de los alcohĂłlicos conocidos en Boscombe vaya a, para conseguir sus botellas o latas de bebidas.Los niños sentados en los muebles de BB's vandalising los muebles.Fumadores, y probablemente las malezas tomando otros medicamentos, asĂ que, Âżpor quĂ© la policĂa no estĂĄ haciendo algo al respecto.Ya sea cerca de lidl y cerrar temprano el lugar, o conseguir la seguridad para estar en guardia si abierto hasta las 20. 00:00 h. Y mas ayuda con seguridad.Por eso es llegar mal Boscombe y consejo de nuevo, ademĂĄs de la policĂa debe saber lo que estĂĄ sucediendo.Lo preocupante es algo malo podrĂa suceder a esa señora en BB.Espero que ella estarĂĄ seguro. Este debe ser abordado, persona mĂĄs arriba que dirige el BB's, su personal necesita cuidado y atenciĂłn peligro ella deberĂan recibir dinero.

Food was OK, the service was poor. They forgot to give me milk so when I asked they just poured milk and put it in front of me without saying a word. Then later when my food was ready, they couldn't find us sat at the table and then blamed me and asked me where I had been in a very accusing manner. Finally when the food was served it was again just placed in front of me with the person speaking despite me saying thank you. I will not come here again!

Visited a few times last few weeks and will continue to do so. Coffee is good and the people behind the counter are polite and friendly. Not tried the food but what's on offer looks very nice and I will sample soon:) If you want a break whilst in Boscombe this is a good place to take it.

It's a lovely spot to relax whilst shopping, you can have a hot snack to just a drink and a muffin which are so lovely and many to chose from as well. So enjoy I did.

I had a very bad coughing fit and happened to have a plastic glass in my bag. I asked a staff member if she could give me some water and she appeared willing to do this but it was snatched by another staff member who thrust container back in my hand. She said not allowed to give me water 'for health and safety reasons' and directed me to Costa.

Good site right in the middle of the sovereign centre. The Cappuccinos are always good and muffins are tasty, I usually grab a cappuccino here when I'm in Boscombe.

My daughter and I stopped for a coffee and milkshake yesterday, it was a quiet afternoon, not many shoppers, and the smell of coffee draws you in..

This coffee shop is open-plan in the middle of the Sovereign Shopping Centre and very convenient to stop for a coffee. We visited today and waited ages to be served as only one member of staff on duty at the time, dealing with a queue. Several of the tables had not been cleared and the place seemed to need a good clean. I asked for a serviette to wipe our sticky table and seats, which needed a good wipe-down. I also mentioned that several of the tables needed clearing, but apart from the lady serving she didn't seem to have any other staff to help and she was busy serving the queue at the counter. The lady serving was doing her best and was pleasant, but she had too much to do on her own. Management need a shake-up. There is a Costa nearby!

308th out of 500 on 4 reviews. Sadly I have to give a thumbs down to the cleanliness of the entire eating area on my third visit here. I only came back because my wife like to grab a drink and it's convenient. On all 3 occasions the dining areas have been a total shambles. This time I counted 13 tables with debris on them from the last visitors. The time before it was 10 and similar before that. Food is so plentiful on the floor that pigeons stroll around pecking it up, I'm not joking and god knows how they get in. There are cushions dotted around that have not been washed for months and trays littered on tables, seats and floors. It is a very small food prep and dish washing area but that can't be used as an excuse to leave the customers wallowing in a sea of other peoples leftovers and washing up as they try to enjoy the experience of coffee and cake. Owners get a dedicated member of staff just to clear and wash-up. There must be enough profit in beverages, bread and cakes to warrant it. On a more positive note the food and drink is ok and the staff are friendly and polite. What the owners must remember is that good food served by polite staff in clean and attractive surroundings is the MINIMUM standard that todays customers expect. There are plenty more coffee places within a short walk so see this review as constructive advice and not criticism and maybe take a visit yourself unannounced and see if you would be happy with the presentation of the seating experience.

We went to The Four Horsemen as I had read they did a great Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and lots of it. The barmaid was very friendly and chatty. Will be definitely going back.

We are just so pleased that my wife's lost purse was handed in and the team at Beach House kept it safe and waited for it to be claimed. Good Karma goes a long way. Eternally grateful that my wife was reunited with a purse that has huge sentimental value.

Loovvee this store, staff know us well enough (especially my mum) to know our usual drinks order although mine changes a lot đ€Ș The staff served quickly, have a chat and always POLITE, I don't think anyone has ever been distant or rude. Only thing I'd say is AlWAYS check babyccinno temperatures, there are a couple of staff who consistently make them with HOT and I mean like 160°f milk, I forgot to check once and it burnt my 2yr olds mouth đđđ I still feel awful and it was months ago, don't be afraid to go back up and ask for another one, they are always apologetic and rectify immediately. Always a pleasant experience. Toilets and furniture need a massive upgrade though

I was very disappointed with my visit to Cafe Obscura only just half a hour ago. When I asked if they had gluten-free options, I received a curt ânoâ without any further assistance or alternatives suggested. The staff member was reluctant to even check when I asked. The staff were generally rude and dismissive, which made the entire experience unpleasant. Itâs clear that they donât prioritise customer service or accommodate dietary needs. I wonât be returning and wouldnât recommend this place, especially to those with food allergies or specific dietary requirements
