Feed The Soul in West Dorset

Lovely friendly space to eat and drink. Sadly the Buddha Bowl was so full of spicy fermented vegetables that it made it hard to enjoy. Too many different textures and tastes competing with each other. At £14 for a medium bowl it was also a little over priced I feel.

My mum and I came to the feed the soul cafe for lunch today and it was a lovely place to eat. I had a buddha bowl and my mum had the Jackfruit masala hotpot. The food was delicious and I love the Organic Ethos of the cafe. Being vegan they also made me an oak milk chai latte which was really yummy and appreciated 😊 the organic sourdough that came with lunch was delicious so I had to buy a loaf to bring home for my husband to try! Really lovely staff I will definitely be visiting again thank you 😁

We've been here a couple of times now and it's an absolute gem! Gorgeous food, freshly prepped and offering styles of food that you'd find impossible to compare with anywhere else within a long distance. Cheese and kraut toastie with homemade sourdough, Buddha bowls, homemade peanut butter, kombucha... I could go on. And there's a great little shop too, and beautiful fresh flowers. The staff are lovely. It's a joy and really deserves my 5* rating!

Amazing tasty food, beautiful ingredients and presentation, resulting in a great experience. Also, lovely people😊

A genuine and warm welcome with some fantastic choices for a meal or treat. I had the creamy mushrooms which were delicious with a silky cashew sauce, my partner has the avocado toast which she loved too. Washed down with very good coffee too

Went for lunch and had mushrooms on toast. I have to say I thought it was genuinely horrible. The mushrooms were served in a thick, glutinous sauce that looked truly unappetising and tasted even worse. Overall, very sickly. As I was hungry I managed to eat about half but left the rest. My wife had a salad, which she enjoyed, and after seeing and tasting my meal told me I had ordered badly. We finished with cake and coffee. The cake was very sweet but otherwise unremarkable. Quite expensive for what we had so I shan't go again but my wife will probably go with friends/a friend when the weather's nice and they can sit outside.

We could not fault this venue. Deliciously fresh food (avocado on toast with an egg) in a cool location. Scrumptious sour dough doughnuts with cinnamon and plum puree. Delightful staff, dog friendly. These people deserve to do well

Delicious food. Really great cafe serving great coffee and tasty food! Have been here once before and will return whenever I am in Dorset!

Absolutely delicious fresh food. Could eat kimchi cheese toasties like that for the rest of my life. Great ethos. Gorgeous flowers. Fab coffee. These guys are nailing it.

We came here for lunch today for our anniversary. Amazing organic food ! We had the buckwheat pancake with avocado, kimchi and all sorts of other loveliness on top. The sticky chai tea was also soooo good. We bought the cakes to take home... can't wait to try them. There is a well stocked shop too. We will definitely be returning.

Had an amazing gluten free and vegan lunch here. An absolute hidden gem. So many flavourful options. The cakes were too tempting so had the cookies & cream cheesecake to take away and it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back.

Dissaponted that they have now decided to serve animals. Won't visit again. New cafe in Dorchester called Vibes in genuinely veg/vegan and highly recommended alternative

On a cycle ride Dorchester - Cerne Abbass - Dorchester and came across this little gem of a lunch spot. As three hungry vegans we were delighted to find a place serving exciting vegan food. The Buddha bowl was one of the best we've eaten and the raw chocolate cake was stunning (and huge!) A touch expensive for lunch, but worth it. Pleasant outdoor space with comfy cushions for the benches. Ethical toiletries in the washroom, and a health food store!

On arrival on A wet day in May we were greeted warmhearted Lee treated to some amazing vegan gluten-free food one of our party is strictly gluten-free and was catered for handsomely we chose to both eat the mushrooms and potato balti one of which was served with an onion flatbread the other with sourdough rye and it could not be described as anything more than impeccable

This is a great little treasure outside of Dorchester. Very relaxing, great coffee and food. One of my favourites is the Chocolate Brownie but I think that the Chocolate Cheesecake is now my favourite.

Walked from Cerne Abbas (about an hour) and sat outside on really comfy cushions to eat our lunch. The Buddha bowl (£10) was fantastic- colourful, extremely tasty, lots of fresh flavours and textures. Initially I thought it was quite expensive but I was nicely full by the time I’d eaten it all. My daughter had the sweet waffles (also £10) which were also delicious. As someone who is normally a meat eater I was very impressed. Would highly recommend although it is quite expensive.

The coffee and food is great (although I only had coffee today) They roast their own coffee. Nick is always on good form, as are the other staff. Very relaxing atmosphere and great music.(Not loud), Love it here.

Feed the Soul was a treasure of a find - the food was all absolutely delicious, the setting was inviting, beautiful and clean, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. It felt as tho there was no compromise at all in their impeccably high standards. We would definitely recommend!

Met friends here for lunch. Between us we had a mix of salads, vegan burger and a curry. All meals full of flavour. Cakes were particularly yummy for dessert. Tables are long with several parties eating together. This made the meal very convivial. The cafe also stocks a variety of organic foods and eco household items so we were able to do a spot of shopping afterwards. Would recommend.

Stopped off today and had a wonderful flavoursome lunch of salad and curry Brilliant selection of foods and for a fair price

Stopped for a late lunch. The soup was great and the cake afterwards even better. Very good coffee with a wide choice of milk types. Excellent staff.

We have visited Feed The Soul during a holiday in the area, after seeing an article about it. We were not disappointed it’s small but very friendly and food which is plant based was delicious and couldn’t be faulted. If lived locally would be frequent visitors but as we don’t will have to content ourselves with the occasional visit.Would love to see a recipe book when have time. Many thanks and wishing you continued success.

Wow wow wow! I am trying to find the words to describe the amazingness of this place. The food is not like anything I have tasted really anywhere before. We ate here over a few days while we stayed in the neighbouring campsite, and we dined on inspirationally cooked, freshly prepared, delicious delicious meals. Every ingredient tasted wonderful, and the meals tasted vibrant as well as being super nourishing and definitely good for the soul. Add to that Alex and Nick, who run the cafe, who are so passionate, creative and knowledgable about all aspects of the food. It was a total treat to eat here, to meet them. We were genuinely sad to leave. The cafe could not be more aptly named!

We visited this lovely little gem on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. Beautiful food and people, lovely location, Organic, vegan, tasty...We had the Veggie burger, with all the trimmings. The Kombucha is also a must! (On tap)

I visited Feed the Soul with my husband early on Saturday morning which was just as well as it became very busy very quickly. I had avocado on sourdough toast which came with masses of tasty leaves and my husband had creamy mushrooms. Both were delicious and the portion size was large. The rest of the menu looked pretty appealing too and I'm very keen to try out the Friday evening menu as well. Staff are lovely and there is also a small Farm shop selling organic produce and groceries.

If you want to drink the best coffee and eat the best vegan cakes in Dorset... this is the place! Nick's barista skills are second to none. The attention to detail with Alex's raw ingredient cakes is just amazing. Combined with their farmshop and countryside location, it is a must if you visit Dorset!

So great to see such passionate people running a cafe ad health food shop. The food was truly delicious, the burger and salads not to mention the fermented ketchup. The raw beetroot slice and cardamon cheesecake were out of this world. Make sure you visit!

Great little find, well thought about food choices, very friendly staff. Serving great coffee. Will definitely be returning

Really amazing place. Super delicious food and very welcoming staff. Highly recommended. I’ve been to dozens of brunches in London and this place is way up there as one of the best. Very healthy and delicious food as well as excellent coffee!

This has become my favourite place to eat and drink coffee. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Love, love, love it💕

Fabulous place which we visited every day for our morning coffee whilst glamping at Green Valley Yurts. Very friendly owners, amazing little store, delicious brekkie and the coffee.....the best we had had in a long time.. Must try the Brazilian Flat white.....

Been planning to visit for such a long time and I wasn’t disappointed what an amazing space with such a warm welcome and brilliant service! I decided to have the vege burger which was a explosion of flavours, it was served in a beautiful flat bread and every aspect added to a flavoursome mouthful! I was so full but couldn’t resist a rum and raisin cake!! Sooo glad I decided to squeeze it in!

Dropped by for lunch. Tried the Buddha bowl; great mix of salads - so fresh tasting and real flavor. Couldn’t fit any cakes in so bought some to take away - just tried them and they’re amazing. Didn’t get chance to try the coffee but I’ll be back to try it soon. Compact inside and you might share a table with others but great service and friendly environment. Highly recommended.

A visit today to this amazing place. Wonderful coffee and cake. So good we stayed for lunch.All so delicious.The staff are so warm and friendly. Today this became my favourite treat place. Love it ❤

We called in on the way back to Dorchester from Cerne Abbas and we had seen the sign on the way out. The food looked delicious and there was a big choice but we only wanted drinks so ordered a tea (excellent) and a latte (a bit strong and only just warm enough). The staff were very enthusiastic and it was a joy to see them at their work.

This small restaurant is run by Alex and her brother Nick. It is located in a beautiful part of Dorset, not far from Dorchester. There is also a small shop selling organic fruit and veg and many other products within the premises.

My friend and I have been meaning to visit here for a while now and it more than lived up to expectations!

But I've been here a few times when in the area on business. Each time I've been wow'd by the food, coming away full, satisfied and energised; not tired and stuffed after a typical roadside cafe meal.

What a fabulous find this cafe is. The food is delicious and healthy. Friendly staff and efficient service too. Love their ethical ethos. I wish there were cafes like this in more places. Our new favourite place to eat.

First visit and we were not disappointed. Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. The food has to be some of the best we have ever tasted.....We will definitely be returning and highly recommending you.....

A lovely little café with fantastic food. My wife and I both had pumpkin and carrot curry with raw onion flatbread and shared a Buddha bowl. I'd eat here every day if I lived locally! The raw cakes we took away were a delicious treat later in the day too!

'Shiny Happy People', by R.E.M., is the song that comes to mind when I visit this charming little place. The young people running the cafe are SO friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Their 'good vibes' seem to rub off onto me :)

Delicious nutritious vegan food. Burger and large salad bowl was Without a doubt the best burger we’ve ever had and the salad was no ordinary salad . We will definitely be back. #vgang !

Nick and co are geniuses, there's no doubt. Everything offered is fresh, homemade and oozing with flavour. I tried Kombucha for the first time- which in Dorset is still a relatively new concept. We were given an entire explanation of its origins and were even shown how it was made (and got to taste a new Summer sample!). I personally felt like their passion of new science-y ideas were inspiring, shown in their expansive drinks menu.

Having sat navved our way here on the website’s promise of it being open, we were dismayed to see ‘closed’ on the roadside signs, but then relieved to find it was open after all, with an elderly but friendly dog there to welcome us.

Feed the Soul is like a little oasis!

This place is just wonderful. The food really inspirational, great coffee all prepared and presented with love and passion. You feel you just want to stay all day. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Visited on a friend's recommendation, intending to have a coffee and a cake. On seeing that the cost of a small piece of tray cake was £4.50 - £5.00 (!) we settled for just a coffee. Service was very friendly and late was served in a glass with the usual pattern in the foam top. Sadly, the coffee was incredibly bitter and not really a pleasure to drink. Lunch 'special ' was being cooked and smelled good. Salads looked good. However, £7.50 for a lentil curry seemed over the top, so we didn't try. Numerous high-priced SUVs arrived for lunch and drivers seemed to be know to the owners, so they clearly have a regular customer base. I would strongly suggest that the person making the coffee tries a cup, every day, to ensure that standards are being maintained. This cafe is rather out of the way and we have not been given a reason to return. If you're hoping for 'a nice cup of coffee' you may well be disappointed.

great service, lovely staff! The most amazing delicious food ever!!! Could of eaten all the cakes! The ultimate veggie burger- Dahl- Avo on toast is just Fab! Think the menu is just a winner all round. Cheers!!!

Well this is a very boho place to eat but glorious food and such friendly staff, we felt welcome and enjoyed a pleasant 2 hours just chilling, eating and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. Coffee and cake, shakes, glorious, freshly prepared vegan food, and reasonably priced,

This really is a wonderful cafe tucked away, but not difficult to find and definitely worth a detour if you're passing nearby. The food and drink are fresh and delicious, full of flavours and colours to match any mood. The staff we've met are helpful, friendly and seem to radiate happiness. It's got a warm and relaxed atmosphere, heart in the right place. Neither of us are vegan or even vegetarian, this is just a lovely place to eat.

Feed the Soul is tucked away at Godmanstone but you must go there. It is such a lively place to visit. The food and drink is fantastic. The shop is full of stuff you’ve always wanted in one place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Perfect.

A lovely visit as always. Very helpful and welcoming staff, delicious food and a warm atmosphere. I love coming here as the customers are always friendly because good food makes everyone feel great. The Love kombucha was particularly tasty.

Honestly couldn’t praise this place enough! I put off going for a while as healthy and raw food is normally not my thing, however everything here is absolutely spot on. As a junk food lover, FTS has completely converted me! The sticky chai is amazing and I’ve never enjoyed a salad so much in my life, plus the waiter was also lovely. 10/10 would recommend to anyone from meat lovers to health addicts!!

This is somewhere I visit regularly and can recommend without hesitation.

Popped here for our anniversary lunch and was not disappointed. The welcome was brilliant and really friendly. The burger was out of this world.

This wonderful cafe is amazing. The food is incredible, beautifully presented and so delicious. The staff are really friendly and helpful, I highly recommend a visit. I was staying at green valley yurts where this cafe is situated and felt the combo of the yurt campsite and feed the soul’s food made me feel I had found the best blissful holiday retreat ever ! The shop in cafe has great produce, a lot of it homemade by feed the soul. The kombucha is a particular fav of mine , gorgeous flavours, I loved the ‘ love brooch ‘ one . Love this place!

My husband and I used an opportunity to stop for lunch en route to Dorchester having viewed their website. And thankful we were too, as the menu was interesting and looked particularly moreish as we espied other diners’ fare arriving whilst we made our choices. Not wanting to feeling like we’d ‘missed out’ we both ordered the same; beetroot latte made with soy milk and and the full works salad, a selection of everything. We both agreed that the food and drink were delicious and some of the best vegan food we’d tasted for ages. Worth a detour!

Great little vegan cafe and deli. Great looking salads and freshly made cakes. Freshly ground coffee, squeezed juices and smoothies are available, along with a choice of meals and snacks. There is also a small selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, laundry products along with a selection of oils, nut butters herbs and spice mixes along with a selection of chocolates.

What we had was very tasty although the potions on the small size and quite pricey. We had cake after which was a bit too rich for me. Would like to have something like a Date Slice or Sponge cake

Great little place which you must visit when you are in Dorset. Close to Dorchester this place is a hidden little gem . Totally vegan ,with amazing coffee and really tasty cakes and fresh salads .

Went for Saturday lunch with my daughter & sister (both vegans... I’m not) lovely drive through the countryside & the most fabulous food & drinks... veggie burger, Buddha bowls, mushrooms on sourdough toast, avocado, houmous, tasty salads, ... everything homemade & all beautifully presented & sooooo tasty. We left feeling very happy & healthy! Will definitely be returning again soon

What an unexpected find. A friendly vegetarian café and wholefood shop, with the best cake ever. We had snickers cake - I'd order this for my last meal on earth. I'll be looking for an excuse to drive past and call in again.

This is a must to go and have a bite to eat and have a coffee. The team are friendly and know there food, so tasty and the deserts are to die for. When we move over to Dorchester this will be our local eatery.

I can not praise this cafe enough! The food is spectacular, original and beautifully presented. Alex and Nick are passionate about what they do and it shows! If you love healthy clean vegan /vegetarian food this is the place for you, you wont find much better!

Great to find a vegetarian cafe and small deli/shop amid the seemingly herbivore free hills of South Dorset. Yes, vegetarian, but not niche just a lovely cafe, super nice owners/staff and a slighly interesting take on coffee. Coffee in pots - yep. What a nice idea - locally made earthenware pots to sip your latte from. Btw soy lattes available too. We didn't eat - had other arrangements - but we'll definitely be back - interesting and simple at the same time. How so? Well, take homemade beans on toast. Yum and not a can in in sight. There's other more sophisticated and intricate concoctions to sample too.

This cafe is a bit of a hidden gem. Nick (barista) and Alex (chef) are the most friendly people you could hope to come across. The coffee is excellent and the highlight is the food. There is so much flavour, I couldn't believe it is vegan.

What a wonderful little place. The welcome is warm, the food delicious. Great ambience. Couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back.

If you are vegetarian, vegan or just a plain old foodie then look no further than this little pitstop. Only 2 miles from Cerne Abbas and 5 from Dorchester, very conveniently placed for the cyclist walker or explorer.

Everyone is so friendly and the food is both delicious and healthy - it's great knowing all the ingredients are natural! 😊

Who would have thought that you could get raw food in the middle of nowhere?! We found this restaurant in the Cerne Abbas flyer and drove by. Really great raw cakes! Unfortunately we were not hungry so we did not have anything else.

We just popped in for a quick drink but got tempted by the beautiful food on offer. It was early so we all had toast - 2 of us with the home made peanut butter that was incredible. The coffee, the latte and the fruit drink were likewise amazing. As a bonus we got to sample the delicious carrot cake - so yummy!! The salads all looked so fresh and exciting. I'm not vegetarian but I could so easily be now!

Went for a spontaneous coffee down this cafe. Heard good things and was not disappointed. Very friendly staff who were more than accommodating and was nice to go somewhere different. Has some homemade peanut butter on toast with a coffee and a fruit juice which was great. Defiantly pop back when in the area. A must try!!!

Just an incredible find. Plus I'm not vegan vegetarian but think I'm turning!!

This is a new vegan café and farm shop in Godmanstone Dorset (The Cerne Abbas Road from just outside Dorchester take the Yeovil road). We received a great warm welcome when we arrived, this café has a good selection of food, it does breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea. They are sourcing their veg and bread from the best local suppliers. We had a Thai style curry and a Mezze salad bowl. Really looking forward to going again soon.

Fantastically friendly vegetarian/vegan organic café. Lovely coffee and amazing homemade peanut butter. Salad bowl is highly recommended freshly made on the premises. Peanut butter and raw chocolate slice was delicious.
