Cafe on the Quay in Poole

We try to always eat here when we visit Poole. The fish and chips were great and service was good, friendly and prompt even though it was very busy.

A really great spot for fresh tasting food. I had a lovely sausage roll with a side of a homemade salad which was so tasty and fresh with mandarin in it which is something I had never had before! Great service and really nice coffee too.

I have a sister with learning disabilities and dysphasia and ask for soft food no matter what the time is there always accommodate.We live in Oxford and not one cafe accomadates us like this cafe..The staff are super.

We ate here a few times while we were in Poole. The restaurant is clean and bright. The food was delicious every time, well cooked and tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Good coffee and great location. The muesli and fruit were nice but the cooked breakfast was fairly average.

Beautiful setting but disappointed with smoked salmon & scrambled egg. Two very small slithers of salmon, dry scrambled egg & soggy toast. Queuing through the cafe, to order, table service would be far better. I'd visit Oriel or even Wetherspoons for a full English instead.

Fish is always absolutely delicious and fresh from the sea. Having fish from them since lockdown in March, never let me down, absolutely wonderful

Had lunch recently, the food was good and not unreasonably priced and the staff were very helpful. Easy wheelchair access throughout.

Great breakfast all day - fast table service, really good food. Lovely views across the harbour and outside seating. Amazing for hot and cold food - and cakes too! Loads of room inside but it’s always busy :-)

Always a pleasure to come here. Good food, good service and right on the quay. Just wish the owner would find somewhere else to do her paperwork when it's busy. Sitting at a prime indoor table when customers are looking for any spare tables.

excellent all round.good views,great food.good service,polite,friendly.well worth a visit.had a delicious breakfast.thankyou.

We stopped here after walking the dogs from Lilliput. Had a lovely cake and dogs were offered water.No dog biscuits though. would recommend

Had a wonderful breakfast and coffee in the Cafe on the Quay today. Great service and perfectly cooked breakfast... well worth the extra few pennies compared to many other places I have eaten before.

Had a takeaway breakfast here Saturday morning, Ni complaints, freshly cooked, great service, nice atmosphere and a delicious looking display or cakes etc.

Visitaremos Poole sobre 3 veces al año y siempre nos visita el muelle para el desayuno. Fuimos el domingo 26, sólo un puñado de gente como muy temprano. Pedí un desayuno completo y huevos revueltos con bacon pan tostado en un orden lateral. como Nos dimos cuenta de algunos desayunos izquierda bajo las luces en el hatch, este fue nuestro desayuno! ! ! Pan empapadas, secos morcilla y un huevo tirado en el plato, me fui más de la mía y mi marido se puso, sin duda, no volver, no me importaría, pero un montón de personal, nunca se quejaron de lo que es el punto!

Después de una noche decepcionante en el Hotel du Vin nosotros mismos con una construcción de inglés en el café en el muelle. El servicio fue excelente y la comida de alta calidad y bien presentado. Incluso pedimos otra ronda de bebidas porque el sol salió y el ambiente amable hizo difícil salir.

Very good coffee, excellent service, nice and sunny, the Quay was very busy. Reasonably priced also.

I visited this cafe for brunch and chose the eggs benedict. Absolutely delicious, so much so I've been back twice since. It is reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and on a summers day, the view of the quay is lovely.

Only wanted a coffee, but machine and man slow, so had to leave before we got a parking ticket. Good location and brunch looked good.

The food was nice, but we asked to share some chips, and then got charged £4 for a handful of chips each, which seemed a bit steep, so we won't be rushing back..

Stopped for cake mid morning a family of 5 7 yr old teens and adults

Great cafe by the quay, we sat outside and had a lovely half English brekfast,freshly cooked to order, fresh orange juice, a nice little place to start the day

We had a craving for cream tea, the the Cafe delivered rightly. The food was enjoyable and the atmosphere was relaxed, especially on a sunny (although windy day). Service was good and with a smile. Had a quick look at the rest of the menu and noticed that for a place so close to the sea. Their selection of seafood was quite limited and disappointing. But overall, a pleasant meal we had.

For the cost of £3.95 for a bacon sandwich, you would expect the use of decent, farmhouse bread (as stated on the menu) and bacon being cooked crispy as requested.

The breakfast was served cold, not what we ordered, bacon cooked only on one side, so perfumed sausages where was the meat, egg cold and pre-cooked .... butter and toast turned as greasy marg smeared over toast - not asked whether we prefer brown or white - fairly crumby experience and will not repeat - corkers down the quay is better!

We visited Poole last week and stopped off at the Cafe on the Quay for lunch. After clearing down a filthy table covered with dirty plates and food, we sat down on the rather uncomfortable cheap rickety chairs and ordered two beers while we took a look at the menu (which we had to go and get ourselves). The beers arrived and were horribly warm...not a good start.

Visiting The Cafe on the Quay this month I found same premises, same pleasant owners, but they have changed the name to The Little Tea Pot. Perhaps the previous name was misleading as it was near, but exactly on, the quay. Otherwise every bit as good as when I wrote a review a few months ago and an excellent place for tea -- or coffee -- and delicious snacks.

My family took over the cafe on a wet Sunday afternoon - the cafe is small and seats 10-12 people. The owners were happy to accommodate 7 adults, 2 babies in prams and a 2 year old.

We were visiting Poole for an hour or so on our way back to Devon from Bournemouth.. we walked down the high street towards the old town, needed a snack and found this lovely place...

Just behind the quay in Poole, at the end of the High StreetI is Cafe by the Quay. It's tiny and you may have to search a little to find it, but it's worth the effort. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable.
