Filomena's Cafe in North Dorset

We came in for a cuppa and a snack, we found the prices nice and affordable. We had a cheese scone, lemon cake and tea cake with teas. Can't grumble at all! The man serving us was lovely and paid good attention to my son asking for 3 slices of cake (the man cut his cake into 3, the 5 year old was most pleased thinking he'd got 3 slices) Only down side is its not wheelchair accessible, not really the cafes fault but I would have loved to had fetched my family in who don't visit that often for a lovely brew!

Nice breakfast at reasonable price and very friendly staff.

Loads of 'oldy-worldy' atmosphere on two floors - Americans would love it. But being an ancient building the tables are small and close together. Window seats can be chilly in winter. Food good and portions large. Service was poor and the need to go to the counter to order drinks and food and pay in advance was disappointing. In Summer you can sit outside and watch Shaftesbury and the tourists go by. For atmosphere it is on a par with the conservatory of the almost adjacent Grosvenor Hotel which on balance I think I would prefer.

Food is amazing and staff are attentive Never had a bad meal here
