Carve Coffee Roasters in Purbeck

Amongst the masses of coffee shops it's hard to find the good ones. Carve obviously have a love for making great coffee and this was clear from the black filter I ordered when I stopped for a mid bike ride caffeine boost.

I’d read this was the best place for coffee in Swanage but after trying it this weekend I have to disagree. Long wait once ordered, the cappuccino was tiny & both the latte and cappuccino were luke warm. The snickers traybake really just tasted of blended peanut butter. We’ll certainly be trying other places next time.

So Carve coffee now have an industrial unit on the hard standing below the amazing hungry shark on SWANAGE beach front. As locals we thought we would try coffee and cake. How many people does it take to order a coffee .. 4 apparently Person 1 takes your order. Person 2 (who clearly didn’t want to be there)writes your name on the paper cup. Person 3 makes the coffee. Person 4 puts it on a shelf at the end and shouts out your name to collect. There was no queue and still we needed to wait. The americano was ok not particularly tasty, the latte was lukewarm so we had to ask for another. Our cake was missing as was someone else’s (I believe this is persons 2job) so we had to go back and ask for it. We have been told in local publications this unit will be open until 10.00 pm I don’t think I have seen it open past 5pm and yesterday there was no sign of life at 3pm. I can’t believe this was the best proposal submitted to SWANAGE Town Council for the tender of the location in bringing something new, special and vibrant to SWANAGE. Have no idea how they will cope when it starts to get busy. Will not be using again.

Fantastic spot. Well worth the coffee which has been thoughtfully researches. Properly done with love! Great they had quite a few gluten free options too

Ordered some coffee upon a recommendation. Fast delivery which is always a bonus but the coffee was outstanding. If you are a coffee love then it’s worth giving this place a go. I’ll certainly be ordering my coffee from them in the future.

Great coffee, great location and relaxed atmosphere. I've been ordering the coffee online for a while but nice to have someone else make it!

It took me a long time to find coffee this good in Dorset but I’m glad I finally did. They have a blend to suit every pallet and the atmosphere of the place is fantastic too. The staff will help you pick the perfect coffee for you. The food was awesome as well.

Great coffee and great service, the brownies are out of this world. The coffe was so good I had to buy some of their roasts to take home with me

If you want a great coffee, then head here! Only place in Swanage to get a decent flat white! Cool spot with indoor and outdoor seating away from the hustle and bustle of Swanage high street. We had 2 coffees and 2 of the toasties, both excellent!!

Love Carve, great range, relaxing courtyard, tip top brownies and smiling faces. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I sat indoors as it was a little windy and enjoyed a flat white on my day off. However I usually pop over on a working coffee break for that extra special coffee fix 😍

Carve coffee is great, we have regular bean delivery for our coffee machine at home and most recently have been enjoying their freshly made coffee in Swanage. A hidden gem that's worth a trip to if you are in the area. Soph and Will offer a fantastic service and great cakes there too.
