We popped in for a mid-afternoon snack. Service was great, a lovely lady behind the counter, friendly and welcoming. Two of us had apple pie, delicious, one of the best apple pies I have tasted. The coffee however, wasn't great. it couldn't really be called coffee to be honest, it was worst than an instant coffee. I would return just for the apple pie.

Went to Cappuccino on Tuesday lunch time. Very busy. The lovely waitress lady trying to serve everyone at once. Then a lots of aggressive shouting coming through. Atmosphere absolutely not acceptable ! The owner needs to control his temper and respect his staff. The shop was closed just after 2pm on that day. The owner needs to employ more people to meet the demand. I will not be returning again.

I have been here twice before in 2017 and August 2019, just before the outbreak of the Virus in March 2020. I had done some shopping with my Support Worker and i told her about Cappuccino's and she had been there too, by saying how nice it was in there. We sat down and Caroline, told us about the special menu, but i wanted the ordinary menu, which my Support Worker read to me. After hearing the choices, i decided to have Sausage, mash and peas with gravy. Caroline came over and my Support Worker, told her what i wanted and asked if they did a children's menu, as I'm not a big eater? Caroline said "yes and there was cabbage and carrots, as well, but i just wanted one sausage, mash, peas and gravy. I ordered a bottle or Sprite and when the meal arrived it had a little gravy on the mash potato, which tasted very delicious. Last time, i went to that cafe, i mentioned about the toilets and how it was suitable for disabled people in wheelchairs, mobility issues and the visually impaired. I would be going again, if i'm in the Boscombe area, as that is reasonable in price and my Favourite place in Boscombe to eat and drink. See you again Caroline and staff?

My wife andI reguarily drive down to Boscombe from Andover on a thurs to shop, eat and walk the prom if the weather is good. We had finished shopping and looking for somewhere to eat, found a table at the end of the market. The staff immediately came out with a menu. We ordered tea and Special House Burger. The service was quick and the young lady attending was very friendly. The burger started with a burger, topped with bacon, cheese, onions, tomatoes and mushroomsin a soft bun, asmall side salad with chips. Well it was delicious with a strong cup of tea. We will be returning again

Really warm welcome - lovely staff. Coffee was delicious. I find in some places a cappuccino can be more 'warm', however here was really hot! Will definitely be returning.

I came to this café back in 2017, on a rainy Monday lunchtime and it was a lot different than today, as the toilets were upstairs which was hard for disabled people and people with babies. I arrived with my friend today and was desperate for the toilet, so a kind lady greeted us and helped me to the toilet, which I thought was upstairs like before, however, now they have got two toilets downstairs at the back of the café and one is for everyone and the other toilet is for Disabled people and parents with babies. I went into the toilet and it was laid out well with different colours on the wall and the floor was a different colour again, which is very good for visually Impaired people. I went back toward the table my friend had chosen for us and the owner Caroline asked what I would like after giving the menu to my friends to read as they didn't have a braille or large print menu, however, I knew what I wanted and the Baguette was lovely and just what I wanted with a bottle of diet coke and it was good on price. My friend had a chocolate milkshake which was out of a bottle and it looked okay to me and we then saw some other friends we both know and the owner knows them too since three of them go into her café regularly for a drink or a meal. it is a drink place with lighting around the sides and nice comfortable chairs at the white tables. I would go again with friends or on my own again if I am in Boscombe shopping or meeting up with friends.

After the market my wife and I needed break. We stopped here as it was no-frills and basic. We didn't want to go somewhere with dozens of varieties of drinks each with its' own anecdotal story set in some far-off country. We can get allegedly South American back stories from almost every eaterie in town. We needed to somewhere unpretentious. Great fresh sandwiches, a lovely welcome and we are coming back here soon as.

4 friends and I came here for a light bit of brunch, however we were appalled at the service that we were greeted with. The staff overcharged us for the coffee and teas and were rude when we brought it up. All of the food came out at different times, with the toast coming out AFTER everything else. Does it take longer to make toast than a breakfast? They also brought us a lambs liver by mistake. The food was not even worth all of this hassle, and we were shocked at how rubbery and disgusting the meat was. Stay away from Cappucinos! Its one of the worst places you’ll probably go.

My partner and I visited this establishment for coffee and toasted sandwiches. I had to send my first filter coffee back as it was so strong that it tasted like rocket fuel. The second coffee arrived after a wait of about 15 minutes, looking very milky and anaemic and was only lukewarm. Then when my toasted sausage sandwich arrived, it was literally dripping with grease. My partner's sandwich was equally as vile. The noise from the comings and goings to / from the 'soft play' area, and the mothers yelling at one another to be heard, made the atmosphere more like a rowdy kindetgarten, and we ended up just leaving and going elsewhere. What an awful experience!

Visited for coffee and snack. Place was almost empty (soon found out why) yet rather noisy. Seems to be a meeting place for single mums with their babies, all shouting to be heard over one-another. Serving staff were very friendly, but slow and inefficient. Had three goes at making coffee. Failed. Failed. Failed badly. Served 2x toasted sausage sandwich. Both much too greasy, with poor quality sausage that left a funny taste in our mouths. Couldn't wait to have a breath mint when I left just to get rid of it. Would rate 0/5, but 1 is lowest rating possible on this website, which is certainly as much as this cafe deserves. Such a shame as welcoming attitude of staff whilst good is the best feature of this cafe. Note to self: Always beware of establishments where the model is pay before you eat. Once they have your money, there is no incentive to provide a good catering experience.

We went in because I had my little boy with me and I wanted him to have a run around whilst I had my drink. However, it was the worst soft play area I think I've ever been into (I've been to a lot!). It was absolutely freezing cold as the radiator wasn't working and it was absolutely filthy. The chairs were stained, the floor had brown stains everywhere, the play equipment had crumbs of food and other yucky bits on them. I actually felt dirty myself. So we stayed long enough to eat the tea cake and made it out of there. Even my son wasn't bothered. Normally he'd be running off, but he refused to go in without me, refused to go down the slide and when I said it was time to go, he quite happily waved to it and said 'all gone' . I won't be going there ever again!

This is a sweet and retro little cafe, tucked away in Boscombe amongst all the other vintage finds. Food was simple and well done. Nothing fancy, straightforward old school full English, burgers and toasties, chips, piping hot tea, but absolutely what you want on a cold and busy day. Service was really friendly and helpful. The icing on the (not homemade) cake was the lovely upstairs soft play area, so we could eat and drink in peace and quiet while rampaging toddlers threw soft blocks and pushed over giant towers. The vibrant wall mural is pretty eye catching. Nice toilets, luxury baby change. There should be more places like this. Well done to the owners.

My friends and I go here often. Excellent coffee and the staff are lovely and friendly! Food is what you would expect for the price and although it is not healthy, I wouldn't expect any cafe food to be!Could do with a little refresh outside and the furniture is a little outdated, however the decor inside is really cool. I love the paintings. And in the grand scheme of things, how the place looks doesn't effect the atmosphere and quality of product.

Just ok. Food is not overpriced, unfortunately though we found it lacking in flavour...quite bland. Table servers and food servers were all really nice, a credit to this business. Definitely plenty of customers frequent the carvery, maybe just a bad day or quantity over quality. Will maybe try again next time I'm in the area.

We visited as a group of 7 for a birthday celebration, as were arrived early for lunch we were quickly shown to our table and drinks orders taken. Part of the group arrived a bit later and by this time the restaurant was getting busy - The lady was trying her best, but they were woefully understaffed for a Saturday lunchtime.Drinks were particularly slow arriving, but the food wasn't exactly speedy either.The starters were very nice (I can recommend the Chorizo & Sweet Potato Croquettes, the Banana Blossom Croquettes were nice, but probably not worth the cost (£7) and I wouldn't go for them again).After such good starters the mains were a bit disappointing - I went for the BBQ chicken melt. It was nice, but it wasn't amazing. There are a LOT of possible combinations of food so anyone could find a meal to suit their preferences.I would visit again, but I hope the short staffing was a one-off situation during our visit and not a normal occurrence.
