Crusty Bread Artisan Bakery in Poole

Creamy milky coffee and salami toasties to go. I would have liked a bit of dry slaw on the side. Friendly people likeable cafe bakery on the corner with engaging fish tank.

Delicious food and drinks, served promptly by the loveliest coffee shop owners! I had the toasted seeded bagel with avocado & egg, and an oat latte. Both items were delicious; food is of great quality and evidently fresh. Whilst at Crusty’s, I saw other’s meals and that confirmed that standard is maintained with every order! Would recommend this to anyone looking for a coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch spot - have already promised the grandparents that I’ll return with them. Owners were sweet enough to let me stay a good couple of hours to write at my table as I found the atmosphere very calming and it inspired me. 10/10

Have passed by Crusty Bread many times and went in for the first time a couple of days ago and I am very sad I've not been until now. Everything was excellent; food top notch, coffee good, omelette superb, ambience relaxed and service impeccable. Thank you, Duncan.

Tasty fresh food and brilliant service! Would recommend One of the best fresh bagels I've had in a while!

Came in to buy a loaf of bread. Asked to use the toilet and was told rudely by a man behind the counter "its only for customers", told him i wanted to buy a loaf of bread but he ignored me. Wont be coming back again.

A fantastic local place that we have passed so many times, finally we made it inside for lunch shortly before closing. The owners are so friendly and helpful, if you need any advice on the breads or menu items then they can talk you through it all. My husband and I both decided to have Homemade Beef Goulash with Fresh Bread, the beef was so soft and tender and the goulash itself had a deep flavour with the right intensity of pepper, delicious. The bread was lovely and soft with a crisp outer, and you could ask for more if you wanted. We also had 2 Americano’s, a nice bold coffee… next time we visit we will be having cake as they looked incredible.

delicious food, really yummy, brillant service, love the fish, crusty bread is the place to go, 10/10 bread 🥯😍

Excellent little Artisan bakery serving delicious breakfasts. Service was excellent and very friendly, highly recommended.

I love love love everything! Never fails to disappoint

This place has absolutely delicious bread (sourdough style) selection. Bread is crispy on outside and soft inside. They will cut your bread on request. Owners wife now and them makes homemade cakes which are very tasty. I would recommend to try honey cake.

Fantastic little place for breakfast. Impeccably clean and freshly cooked to order. What more could you ask for? We had a large breakfast and a seeded bagel filled with ham & cream cheese. We also bought a lovely sourdough loaf to bring home too. Was great having a little bread menu to look at the choices that were available. Love the note about dogs getting a free Puppacino! Any place that is dog friendly gets extra points! Side note - the fish tank is beautiful!!!!

Lovely place with great breakfast/lunch options. Ordered the small breakfast and was very sufficient. Loved the Frikadellen sausage and crispy bacon. The owners are very nice. Will definitely return.

Great full English breakfast and coffee

My young son and I popped in for a bite to eat. The owner was very polite. I had a small breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly. My son especially loved the vanilla milkshake. We will be back.

Absolutely amazing food and service! Lovely atmosphere with food cooked fresh to order, the quality of which is outstanding 👌 definitely worth a visit 😀

I never usually write reviews, but for this bakery I had to! Amazing choice of pastries, cakes, and bread- but most importantly the staff are soo friendly and helpful I left with a huge smile on my face! Would highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Went for breakfast today, had the small breakfast. It was the tastiest breakfast ever, no grease on the plate, perfectly cooked food, beautiful presentation and fantastic friendly service. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back soon. Well deserved 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing place and food served there

What a neat little store. Sadly, I cannot always get there in the mornings, and I wished they did deliveries. ;)

Gorgeous food and lovely staff!

I love Crusty Bread because there are fishes to watch if I'm bored. Delicious coffee to quench my thirst and the perfect scrambled eggs if I'm hungry. Now with the new seating outside, my visits will be even more appreciated!!

Only buy my bread from here now. Problem is I can never resist the Dorset Apple slice! Haven't tried the cafe yet but looks very tempting

Lovely place went in first time today with my friends for coffee and cake really lovely would definitely go again and recommend!!!!

They were very friendly, I would go there again, I found everything very easily.

Amazing place! Great fresh food and the best coffee in Poole! Really friendly staff, will be back with pleasure! Come try and enjoy this place

You're not buying better bread in Parkstone. Great choice and very friendly staff.

Such a friendly place to have a coffee and cake

Nope not for me. Bought a cake and a baguette, prefer Tesco

Stopped here for some quick food at lunch time, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and the homemade bread lived up to the reviews! I would highly recommend this café :)

The olive bread from here is absolutely delicious, nice and chewy with a great flavour. My boyfriend and I love it so much, definitely highly recommended 👌

Local, fresh, tasty... what's more to add.

Found some amazing people at this bakery. Thank you Marcel. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Paul S.

Tuvimos un delicioso desayuno casero con el más hermoso de los cafés. Los panes y pasteles hechos en casa están fuera de este mundo, incluso compramos algunos para llevar a casa. Gran servicio amable, así que sin duda volveremos pronto. Muchas gracias por hacer de esta una gran experiencia para nosotros.

Lovely place, really good service, amazing cakes and breads, pancakes are to die for, totally recommend this lovely place.

Lovely place to have coffee and a snack instead of costa

He estado aquí dos veces para el almuerzo. Fantástica comida fresca. Gran servicio. El gulash El pastel de manzana Dorset. Sandwiches Todo muy sabrosoLimpio y amigable con un gran menú y comprar cosas como pan fresco para llevar tambiénMuy buen lugar de hecho. Ahora, cuando mi hija y yo estamos cerca, vamos a almorzar.

Nice friendly place and good food 👍😋

Hoy fue nuestra primera experiencia en Crusty Bread Bakery, y no será la última. Hemos estado buscando un panadero artesano por algún tiempo, y ahora lo hemos encontrado. Tomamos un café delicioso y un cruasán, luego compramos pan después. El propietario fue muy amable y obviamente orgulloso de su panadería (como debería ser). La calidad del pan fue excelente, ahora seremos clientes habituales. Gracias ?

Found this amazing gem! Superb vegan food so ending up having both breakfast and lunch here. The gentleman who owns the bakery is warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating, only wish we didn't live so far away otherwise I would genuinely eat there everyday! Excellent food, service and lovely environment. Thank you Sir.

Great food, lovely atmosphere! We ended up buying a bread for home, loved all the different types of bread, something for everyone. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Lovely little shop. Haven't eaten in here but bought their lovely bread. The staff are amazing too so friendly. I will be popping in for coffee though soon next time on there. Wish more shops would take a leaf out of their book and smarten their places up and be as friendly as these guys it's what is needed on Ashley road

Lovely little bakery with great choice of Artisan breads. Cafe serves a choice of baguettes and sandwiches. Light and airy located on the high street

My husband and I absolutely LOVE this little Artisan Cafe. We had been meaning to try it out for months but never got round to it....Then we did....Now we've been here 3 times within a month because the food and atmosphere is amazing. Twice for breakfast and once for cake. Their artisan bread is so fresh and delicious, it's worth every penny! I'm sensitive to gluten, so this 'tummy-friendly', long-fermented bread has been a blessing (because, let's face it....gluten-free bread is RUBBISH!) They have a great selection of cakes, including 2 gluten-free ones (carrot cake, and flourless chocolate cake) and a vegan option. Vegan options on the menu and a great selection of gluten-free ones too! It can get very busy on Saturday's as they get a special delivery of a more unique selection of breads. Which clearly goes to show how great this place is, because so many people go back for more. The owners are so, so nice as well. Very welcoming and make you feel more like you're visiting friends for breakfast than just going to a cafe...that is, when it's not so crazy-busy serving eager customers haha! We are literally counting down the days to go back there, definitely wanting to make them a regular treat!

This place sells the best bread I have found in Poole, by a mile. Cafe included also sells great snacks and coffee; friendly & helpful owner / manager. On and off-street parking available fairly close - worth a detour.

The menu has a wide variety of options. Vegans and vegetarians dishes are included in the menu too. Highly recommended, friendly staff. Homemade bread and homemade food is doing this place a whole difference.

Fantastic long proved bread (24 to 36 hours) with great flavour. Italian owner was very happy to talk about the process. Top bakery.

Great place for a light lunch in Parkstone

Wonderful lunch experience. Friendly and polite staff. Tasty food with a flexible menu, allowed me to swap out Cow Cheese for Sheep. Very good coffee too with a selection of dairy alternatives. Reasonably priced with a lovely clean dining area.

So was walking past this beautiful place and thought I will go in and grab a coffee to go! However walked in and was greeted amazingly and so I ordered my coffee looked in the cake fridge I looked in and saw a honeycomb cheesecake and I had to try that. I was then asked if I wanted to eat in or take away? So I thought I looked around and it was such a cosy atmosphere and amazing staff I thought I will eat in! To which I think was the best idea I had listening to the owner discuss how to make bread with a couple of customers! Thank you for an amazing experience I will definitely be back in!

After driving past this Cafe everyday I decided to give it ago. I was welcomed by the young girl with a smile and a friendly hello. The menu has a wide variety of options including vegan dishes too. The food itself is fresh and tasty. Most restaurants/cafes have the same low quality food supplier, however this Cafe doesn't! You can taste the difference and the quality. If you are looking for the best tasting food in the area and friendly service then go here.

Mnoho slovenských a českých výrobkov priamo v predajni, veľmi príjemná obsluha. Web stránky žiaľ nie sú aktuálne, najlepšie je si zavolať, obsluha vám povie alebo napíše čo má, podľa toho ako sa dohodnete. Majiteľ - obsluha je Čech, takže kľudne môžete zfleku začať po slovensky. Výborný chlieb aký v supermarkete nekúpite - naozaj! Ja som dlho hľadal až som našiel Crusty bread ,😉

A great addition to Ashley Road - relaxing with friendly staff and the delicious Vegan bruschetta is well recommended:-))

Lovely little shop, had a hot choc in the cafe and had a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Delicious bread. Nothing like supermarket stuff. Five star product.

An amazing artisan bakery and barista coffee house . Very passionate owner with great family values , a real hidden Gem in Dorset . I hope he opens up near Ferndown .

Лучший хлеб в Бормунте. The best bread in Bournemouth.

Quality bakery,and tea room.I was recommended it by a friend.You will find really different types of delicious bread,which are all baked on the premises.Well worth a visit.

Intenté realizar el pedido en línea, primero fue la entrega gratuita, luego en el momento de la salida, la entrega fue de 5, luego en el pedido de pago, el mínimo fue de 30, así que pasé de 8. 40 a 35. 00 por nada. Aconsejo no usar este negocio, todo lo que queríamos era artículos estándar, nada especial, desperdicios. Las revisiones anteriores parecen convenientes.

Fantastic coffee, cake & chat! 🙂

Five star customer service and brilliant homemade food! I am convinced people love this business even after first visit and will be coming back especially for very tasty food and bread selection. What I also like pretty much is owner's sea aquarium in store. Having a favourite cup a coffee and relaxed atmosphere makes this place very special.

Great bread, very welcoming, friendly business.

Panini was mediocre yet expensive. Took about ten minutes to get it to go. Artisan bread isn't really my cup of tea but co-workers admire it. Stick to the bread!

Delicious latte coffee, far better than any chain/franchise cafe, plus a slice of a delicious honey and walnut cake. Lovely atmosphere (including a marine aquarium) and friendly staff. This was my first time visiting but I’ll definitely go back.

If you didnt try the bread from this place you dont know what bread should taste like ! Friendly owner and great choice of beautiful and tasty bread, cakes etc made this place a MUST VISIT ! Highly recommend

Si simplemente pasa y quiere tomar un refrigerio rápido mientras almuerza o si desea sentarse y disfrutar de un dulce, este lugar lo tiene todo.Gran variedad de sándwiches y pasteles, bebidas frías o calientes servidas por Marcel, quien está allí para hacer que su tiempo en Crusty Bread Artisan Bakery sea especial.Servicio rápido y sabrosos productos.

I have passed by a few times but decided to order myself a sandwich today. I really wanted a BLT which is not on the menu, but the gentleman working there was happy enough to cater to my request. He checked ingredients were to my preference when he didn't have the sauce I wanted and the sandwich was just delicious, and I'm picky with my BLT's. Service was excellent and a array of different products and a charming atmosphere. I highly recommend

Malinky prostor, ale pan majitel super. Celkem hodne zbozi. Dobre jsem nakoupila

Lovely clean shop. Nice coffee. Although I buy any, the vast varieties of different bread available, some Ì hadn't of. These were take away, although they provide 3 different seating area's (One outside). Friendly staff. There is no roadside Parking. There is a multi-storey car park across the rd. Wheel chair access.

Best ever bread. Fact. Proper (!) Artisan sourdough, beautiful cakes and more plus great service 🤗

Since finding this place two or three weeks ago we will not buy bread from anywhere else. Trying to avoid additives in food and saw that their breads contain only a few ingredients and no additives. The bread is very pricey at just under £4 for the loaf we like but seeing as we don’t eat a lot of bread we can just about justify it! The bread here is better than any bread I have ever tried!

Big variety of fresh backed bred. Highly advised !

Amazing bread, owner has such great knowledge of the products. My friend who has been gluten free for 5 years had some sourdough from here and was absolutely fine (no tummy pains). Most delicious bread I've ever had, all vegan! Cannot recommend enough

We regularly buy our fresh bread from this place and its lovely!! The owner f the shop is warm and friendly too, with such great bread varieties, One cannot recommend this place enough, plus the small cakes they offer are super !

Absolutely loving it there... Thanks

Fantastic , a little hidden gem

My favourite food in the world is the olive bread in this place. It is BEYOND AMAZING. We have it with olive oil and it's the tastiest thing you could imagine. All their bread is incredible, and they also have a lovely wee deli and cafe with lots of Czech and Polish delights. The proprietor is great, really friendly. Roumelia Lane has a few hidden treasures like this, it's well worth exploring. A real local favourite.

Delicious coffee, bread and cakes. Perfect for VEGANS, vegetarians or people with special food needs. Artesanal bread.

Best bread in zone, friendly stuff and quality products!

Quality products very friendly staff

Nice bread, fresh everyday. Nice coffee and lots of other European foods. I like popping in there for cup of coffee and a sweet pastry
