Frieda's Tearoom in Bournemouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just come home from a trip on Frieda's tea bus.I am gluten intolerant.Everything was excellent.Beautiful food,the best gluten free tea I have ever had.The staff were amazing,so friendly and helpful.The weather and the scenery were brilliant.Thoroughly recommend it.

We like to avoid the chains, where [possible, when on holiday. Frieda's was a lovely little find. Quaint.

We went there without a reservation on a bank holiday weekend. Fair enough, we waited around 30 minutes or so for a table. Got inside and were just charmed by the decor. Amazing breakfast and drinks. I would recommend it

Went here 3 times on my last week in Bournemouth last year. So keen to get back there this year, but really a bit disappointing. Cooked Breakfast was good again but service wasn’t as good, my cappuccino wasn’t a cappuccino and my partners porridge was half the size it was last year. Seemed others in there at the same time had the same experience.

Really beautiful looking tearooms. However we arrived 5 mins before 9am. After letting the waiter, chef, whoever he was, that the little display bike had fallen over in the street. After he picked it up. And we followed him into the shop. I know we were a little bit early. But no good morning. No we will be with you in a few moments. Nothing. It was as if we were invisible. Surely a good morning would be nice. Totally ignorant staff. Wish we never told him the bike on the floor now. If you can't be bothered to acknowledge your customers. What type of service would we have got. Won't be ever eating here

Using the tearoom Trip advisor rating to sell the tea bus tour is extremely misleading...The Bus tour is extremely poor value and the food provision is minimal and of very average quality. Book a restaurant in the evening as you will be hungry. No coffee offered, just tea...not even one round of sandwiches (ie the equivalent of 1.5 slices of bread) The driver was not wearing a mask or socially distancing. My advice would be to avoid and don't be mislead by the advertising using their cafe certificate of excellence...

Went there last minute for cream tea for three. Great friendly service everything was delicious and i loved the theme decor and music. Can't wait to go again!

Was.very happy paying a tenner for a decent full English. The. Manager was great Jon. Was perfect. Cooked perfectly.. Good quality too. Nice farmhouse eggs, proper sausages and perfectly grilled bacon. A pleasure walking in this morning. The chef was on top of his game today. Will be back for breakfast too.

Went here for lunch today, very nicely decorated inside, friendly service and lovely food!! Would highly recommend for breakfast/ lunch or a cream tea as the warm scones we had after were a highlight!

We had 2 americanos and one scone portion with jam . A cream tea is £6 but I don’t like clotted cream so didn’t order that. However when we came to pay he said is was £10 so £5 for the scone. I asked how that could possibly be as using the cream tea pricing it should have been max of £3.50 for the scone & was told they didn’t sell scones on their own!! This is a cafe .. he told me I should have ordered the cream tea. I explained I didn’t want to waste the cream but he was adamant. Surely a cafe should sell a scone without cream and he seemed oblivious to the fact I was trying to save him money and waste! Delicious scone but won’t be back as a pretty dodgy bit of town and crazy pricing strategy. He did only charge £8 in the end but still thought his logic made perfect sense ‍♀️

My friend ordered afternoon tea for my birthday. I asked for no margarine in the sandwiches because I am allergic to it and granary bread. The tea arrived. A quarter white bread egg mayonnaise sandwich with so much cheap factory mayonnaise in it that's all you could taste along with a quarter cream cheese and cucumber sandwich, again tasteless, and do you want cream cheese when there's a scone with jam and cream? I said I didn't want mayonnaise so asked for a ham and cheese sandwich. It took ages to arrive and then was made with that cheap tasteless cheddar. I tried one of the little sponge cakes but it was so full of sugar to be inedible. All horrible. Then the waitress came out and said she was sorry but the sandwiches had been made with margarine, the chef had made the other customers with butter instead. I started to feel sick and my face was burning. I needed to go home quick as I was going to be sick so my friend went up to pay and the cook from the kitchen came out and charged her £28 for afternoon tea for two. Absolutely discusting. I can forgive a mistake but to then charge this amount was an absolute insult. I went straight home and to bed. I felt ill for the rest of the day and couldn't go to work that evening so lost earnings, I'm so angry at this place.

Hidden treasure - Food was delicious. Sandwiches were super fresh , homemade bread ... Gusi was excellent, fruit cake was a real treat . 👍👍

We found this place on a trip advisor search, it has its own car park, if you want to have high quality food for your breakfast this is the place very good food nice service and attention to detail, we met the owner who was very welcoming and checked on all her customersIf your fed up with the average try this place its good

This was hands down my favorite place in Bournemouth. Had breakfast, cream tea and afternoon tea there. Best scones and cakes in town. I especially liked the apple cake and the fruitcake. Pretty good choice of teas.

I came here with my mother to celebrate her birthday as I'd heard good things about Frieda's from some family members who had visited prior. I am a vegetarian and worry about cross contamination and lack of options, however, fear not because Frieda's has options for you! Upon arrival, we were greeted and quickly seated with a menu and a smile by our waitress Leanne. She was nothing short of helpful and polite as she went through the menu to find something that met my dietary requirements. She was also very patient with my 80 year old mother who is partially deaf, and went through the offerings with her too. The food was delicious and by Leanne's recommendation we both ordered the pumpkin soup (which was absolutely lovely and would love to return just for this alone). We also had a slice of the raspberry and white chocolate cake which was so scrumptious that I took a slice home for my husband!Overall such a pleasant experience, if you're thinking of booking for a special occasion or just a treat, I would highly recommend for the warm hospitality alone.

I was with a friend debating where to best go for a last minute afternoon tea afternoon, and having rang several places in Bournemouth who were unable to book me in at such short notice, Friedas Tearoom was the final number I rang, and I was greeted with such a friendly and helpful service and were able to book me in within the next half hour - I was delighted. Upon entering, we were immediately asked whether we would want tea or coffee and within minutes the afternoon tea stand arrived. My friend who has an allergy to strawberries was completely catered to on demand, and the alternatives offered were so well thought of. The actual food itself was delicious and you could taste how organic and fresh the food/ingredients were. Having been to other afternoon tea venues prior to this visit, I could tell the strong difference in the level of care and attentiveness that was given during our experience there. All the staff were so lovely and the ambience of the venue itself was quirky and well thought of. Not to mention the pricing was so reasonable too! I would recommend this place to anyone and I am already excited to visit again!

A due passi dal centro della città una deliziosa e piccola tearoom in tipico stile british. Mi è stata servita un'ottima colazione all'inglese

This is a delightful cafe, quirky friendly and serving delicious food. We had the Queen's breakfast and the mini breakfast both delicious. We are glad we searched this place out during our weekend stay.

Frieda's tearoom is a gem. As other reviews have said, the food is very good and the staff are also very friendly. There is a great attention to detail.This is a homely tearoom with the personal touch - think vintage crockery, tea pots etc and freshly baked cakes and door step sandwiches. Lots of comforting food, plus a great little retreat on a side street near the Lansdowne area of Bournemouth. On a different note, it is well established and hopefully won't be vanishing anytime soon. Also worth looking out for is the afternoon tea etc on a Frieda's bus. Or ask Frieda's direct.

I got to know about Frieda’ Tearoom via TripAdvisor. My friends and I wanted to enjoy the typical English tearoom Aura before leaving Bournemouth and hence we ended up choosing Frieda’s tearoom. I really enjoyed having my tea and porridge (which by the way was amazing!! Was afraid that it might be too sweet, but no it was perfect!) my friend and i also decided to taste their homemade cakes, which looked and smelt amazing by the way. We decided unpin the white chocolate and raspberry flavor! The cake was amazing unfortunately we were already really full from the porridge or else we would have loved to take another piece. Other friends of mine, who also tasted the cake, were pleasantly surprised as well!!I can only recommend this place!! Definitely a place to visit while you are in Bournemouth. It just wins your heart with all the cozy decor and their lovely homemade food. And Frieda is simply an adorable lady, who makes sure that all the guests are enjoying their food or tea! Will definitely come back again!!

Hidden down a side road... a sweet gem of a place for a nice weekend breakfast. Good locally sourced produce, very clean and tidy decor yet homely and cosy. Staff are super friendly and really helpful with any swaps if you don't lole mushrooms like me... extra sausage etc no charge... unlike the usual bartering you get in some places. Can knly recommend.

Quite frustrating just walked all the way here after driving 2 hours to bournemouth and its closed! Looked at website when planning trip and no notice about closure posted. Quite frustrating.

Really good food, lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. I will definitely be back! The staff were so friendly and helpful, we all felt very welcome and the location is great.

yesterday a group of us had booked to have a cream tea as part of my daughters Hen Do. The staff could not have been more helpful, especially with me as I am lactose intolerant. I was given the vegan option and it was equally as good as the normal cream tea. The cakes looked fabulous and I can't wait to go back.

Found this on Google and wasn’t disappointed! It’s the type of breakfast that makes you feel good after eating and not sluggish! Went on Sunday morning with my brother and we didn’t stop talking about it! We were so surprised it wasn’t busier!

Me and my daughter was in Bournemouth for the day. We wanted to take a sweet treat home with us. We stumbled upon this gorgeous little find on Old Christchurch road. We just wanted some fresh homemade fare, we were not disappointed, we choose 2 slices of chocolate cake filled lavishly with fresh cream. If your passing by don’t forget to drop by, I can assure you, that you won’t leave disappointed!

We had a large party of ladies for a Hen party that came to the coffee shop last weekend.We had mouth watering cakes and sandwiches all homemade.This is lovely coffee shop of the beaten track,it’s a little gem.We all had a lovely time.

We had a nice welcome from the staff and were able to begin our weekend break with breakfast. Glad to have been able to support local businesses in the area.

My friend and I treated my niece to an afternoon tea here as a pre-baby surprise. The table was booked and we were asked if any of the party had special dietary requirements. When we arrived they were waiting for us and after taking our drinks order the stands were delivered. There was a nice selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. I don't like smoked salmon but did enjoy the sandwiches and my friend hates sultanas but really enjoyed the fruit scones. I guess we should have mentioned this when booking but it wasn't a big deal. The sandwiches went down very well but we started to struggle with the cakes as it was too much sweetness, having said that we did finish it all! We were offered top ups of the tea and the waitress was very attentive. It was good value and a nice experience but I think I would have preferred less cakes and maybe a mini quiche or something else savoury instead. The cakes on the counter looked lovely and maybe I will visit again for just cake and a drink next time.

I recently had afternoon tea at Frieda’s with a couple of friends. Due to health reasons I am gluten free. Although this wasn’t a problem I was disappointed to find that not only did I get less than my friends who had a normal afternoon tea but I was also charged more than them. I feel this is unfair as we wouldn’t have gone there at all if g/f wasn’t an option so they had gained 3 new customers. We won’t be returning.

Fan des salons de thé typiquement anglais, j’ai adoré celui ci. Très jolie décoration, très bon scones. Le restaurant propose également des petits déjeuners typiques, quelques plats pour le déjeuner et divers gâteaux. Les prix sont très abordables. Pour deux scones, confiture, beurre et un thé : 6 £ ! Je recommande et reviendrai avec plaisir !

What a find this place is. A lovely decorated tearoom with huge cakes on display. We went for breakfast and had the best eggs royals I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. The classic English was good too. Reasonable prices, highly recommended.

We booked for the Tea Bus that does a tour along the seafront while you enjoy afternoon tea. We paid extra for the VIP front seats which was completely worth it as we had the best view and lots of locals wave at the bus as it passes. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were delicious and the perfect amount of food to feel full but able to finish it all. Tea or coffee is served at the stopping points (toilet-break included) in pretty travel mugs. The bus is decorated beautifully and the driver was very friendly. Would recommend as a birthday treat, Mother’s Day weekend or hen party.

Went to Frieda’s for afternoon tea on a friends recommendation and certainly weren’t disappointed!! We were made to feel very welcome. The waitress was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had tea, sandwiches and scones which were very fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

I found this lovely little tea room whilst down visiting my son who is at Bournemouth uni Service was prompt and polite and the food was very good Would definately revisit when I am next in Bournemouth

I called in the morning to enquire whether we had to book for an afternoon tea, as my mother in law needs to have a gluten free option. They were very polite on the phone and explained I didn’t have to pre-book, and to just rock up. I advised I would come in the afternoon in that case. When we arrived there were other people dining but no waiting staff, we took and seat and then waited, a waitress came from the back and saw to the other tables but didn’t acknowledge us. We then waited again for about another 15mins. When the waitress finally came over with the menu we said we would like the afternoon tea for two with one needing to be gluten free. Off she went but then moments later came back and said we had to book for a gluten free one! I then explained I already called and said we would be combing in and that I didn’t need to pre book!! Then another waitress then came back and said there would be a further 20min wait while they defrost the gluten free option even though they knew we were coming in. We decided to wait and have the afternoon tea, when it arrived it was presented lovely, the sandwiches were lovely and on thick bread. The gluten free option however only had one scone whereas the normal afternoon tea had two. The cakes were also not very nice and tasted stale so we left them. When we came to pay the lady took the money gave me the change and before I could even ask for a receipt she turned around to go and sit out in the back, as I turned to leave none of the staff said goodbye, thank you or enjoy your day! They made us feel very unwelcome and like we were an inconvenience for asking for the specific dietary requirement. I won’t be going back.

So this review is slightly uncomfortable for me as I have loved coming here in the past. Thought we would drop in for breakfast this morning and arrived just after it opened. We ordered coffee and vegetarian breakfasts, you know the full English without the meat! The coffee arrived only warm, not enough warmth to melt the sugar. So we had them replaced with fresh ones which were better. The lady explained that the machine was a bit temperamental first thing in the morning. When the breakfasts arrived they looked good, but clearly on cold plates the food was not going to retain any heat. The food, for the second time in recent months has not been hot and has left us disappointed. The overall impression of the place has slipped and sadly we will choose somewhere else for the time being.

Took my friend and our kids on the tea bus and it made for a lovely afternoon. It was a bit expensive but the experience was great. Had a bit of trouble booking online with a US credit card but they took it over the phone with no problems. We booked 2 tables and asked that no sandwiches at my table have mayonnaise, which they greatly accommodated. The tea, the sandwiches, and cakes we all wonderful. My kids didn’t want tea and they gave them hot chocolate, which was great. I’d highly recommend this afternoon tea bus.

Had an excellent breakfast - twas good, coffee was in a quality good sized mug with friendly staff. Later on a rather nice Early Grey and carrot cake. I had about 4 hours when I needed to do some work before my hotel opened and it was exactly what I was looking for friendly, comfortable with a good wifi and tasty food. The kind of place I would def bring my wife out to for our regular coffees together.

I had a really good experience here. The owner was very friendly and helpful to help us choose suitable afternoon tea. The staff was a bit cold but it was toward the end of the shift so she got tired? Anyway, no big problem. The cakes and tea were all good. We ordered afternoon tea for 1 but it was enough for both of us (as light afternoon meal).

Lovely place . Great homemade food / lovely staff / amazing cakes . Best place to take your family and friends . Thank you for having us . Will be back soon . Defiantly recommend to friends

I visited the place lovely food and owner was very friendly . Unlike the staff .young man who were serving Us had no manners and he was cuffing in front of me and not holding his hand over his mouth when I asked him to do so he very rude about it . Shame I won’t be going back only because how I was treated .

Almost missed this experience as the door was locked and the place looked empty, luckily as we considered our plans we found another door to the "new" Frieda's and it was worth looking for. Start with a customer car park and walk to the second door, nice bright clean interior. Friendly, quick service with a limited choice of good fresh tasty food. Try and resist the cakes if you can, that's a challenge. Busy at three of the five tables on a February Wednesday lunch.

Visited here to share the Frieda’s cream tea one afternoon with 1 other person. It was probably the best cream tea I’ve ever had, the sandwiches were thick, scones were warm, and cakes were nice. All tasted amazing. Not too expensive either! The staff were really friendly. The only thing I would improve is that one of the waiters was a bit stressed and couldn’t seem to remember who had ordered what... maybe he was new? He was very friendly so it wasn’t really a problem I guess. He also needed a spray of deodorant... again, not a criticism, just a suggestion! The food made it totally worth it. I’ll be back.

Weekend in Bournemouth, it got to mid afternoon and needed a sugar fix as flagging from the night before. Googled tea shop and this came up with excellent reviews so we walked about 2 miles, it was so worth it! Down a bit of a run down street, we nearly turned back...but what a delight! The place was full and we got the last table. A tea shop how they use to be serving in dainty china..and the best home made cakes. I had Red Velvet and my partner Coffee and Walnut. Huge slices. Frieda came and introduced herself to us. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back on our next visit.

Quaint little tearoom with lovely cake. Staff were friendly and welcoming and although it doesn't look like much from the outside, inside is exactly what a tearoom should be.

Had a lovely tour on the bus . I'm sorry but the sandwiches and cakes were a bit of a let down . The sandwich fillings need a rethink and the cakes were a bit sickly . Of course that's just my opinion . I thought it was a tad expensive .

Way to ruin someone’s day. Say you are open until 5pm on your website, turn up at 3:50 to see a sign on the door saying it closes at 4pm. And then be told by waitress “it does say we close at 4pm on the door “. Not helpful. I’m sure this is a lovely cafe but please advertise correct opening hours.

We had a lovely Saturday lunch with the family. The homemade soup and tart were delicious. The rest of the family enjoyed their fry up. The highlight were the cream teas - wonderful scones!

Ben the waiter was rushed off his feet, but with astonishing charm managed to keep 20 or so covers entertained and happy until our delicious grub arrived. I had Eggs Benedict and the others had various other breakfast snack. Very nice indeed. Thank Ben.

朝は一人で来ているお客さんも多く、空いてはいませんが静かでおすすめ。店内は豪華ではありませんが、女子が好きなお花系デザインが多くかわいいです。閉店前に行くとお店に快くいれてはくれますが、お店を閉めたいオーラがすごいので時間には余裕があったほうがいいかと思います。ま、この国どこの店もそうなんですが。。。

Being a couple from London, usually spoilt for choice on Brunch options and menus we were perhaps sceptical on what Bournemouth had to offer. We braved the rain to get to Frieda's in search of eggs and avo. What a little find. Buttery eggs and door stop toast. Sausage so tasty and of butchers quality. Staff, James and Blossom super friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough to make sure our experience was perfect. No judgement on our particulars and plenty of genuine smiles. We spent the whole time eyeing up the home baked Scones and cakes on offer. Couldn't recommend this place enough. I would have paid double the bill for the service alone and I will definitely be back.

Friendly welcome. Generous portions of cake. Decent place for an informal meeting - business or social.

I would highly recommend this little tea shop.... Staff were friendly, decor is beautiful and the scones.... They were amazing. Served warm with clotted cream and homemade jam. I would highly recommend

We have been previously a year ago. Had classic English breakfast The egg yolks had skin, and the overall breakfast just doesn't taste fresh and greasy. Staff was very nice.

What a lovely place for breakfast brunch. I had scrambled eggs on toast - delish. Eggs not over cooked and real butter on the toast (you can taste the difference)My friend had eggs Benedict. And she said it was delish. Will definitely go again, but probably for tea as the cakes looked amazing. When we were there a few people were turned away as there were a couple of big table reservations. If you want to go at a specific time with a group, probably worth giving them a call first.

Lovely quaint cafe - few tables - so you may get asked to come back - do it’s worth the wait the food is fab portion are sensible and not to big Service is with a charm and sass at the same time

Estoy en esta ciudad y he ido a esta casa de té muy lindaNo es caro y además hay un bus q te pasea por toda la costa jurásica si queres ir tomando el te mientras paseas

lovely decor, great service but above all best vegetarian breakfast I've had all year. Serves damn good coffee besides.

I visited today with a friend for a lunchtime treat. The cakes were amazing! So fresh and moist. I had chocolate and my friend had coffee and walnut. There is a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Lewis was fabulous, a great host. Lots of choice for cakes. A place to visit regularly.

Had a wonderful cheese and spinach tart today for lunch, really enjoyed it. Will go again soon! Great!

Visited today as a group of eight from work for lunch. Staff very happy and accommodating. Food was lovely. Had the egg mayo doorstep sandwich. We obviously have big doorsteps in Bournemouth- it was huge! Came with salad and vegetable crisps. Also had a tea which came in a lovely bone china teapot with cup and saucer plus little china milk jug. They had some lovely cakes on display but was just too full to try those. Overall very impressed.

Highly recommended breakfast!! I had the full English one day, and even went back the next to have the Eggs Benedict. Both were exceptional and the service was fantastic, really friendly staff. Well done guys!!!

I visited Frieda's on the 2nd May 2018 and I want to go back already! Me and my mum always go on the search for cute, little tea rooms just like Frieda's. I loved everything about this place, the decor, the food and drinks.. and also the staff! The staff were so friendly and chatty, it's very rare to find that these days. The young lady and gentleman who looked after me couldn't have been better, thank you! I went all out and treated myself as it was my birthday, value for money here is great too! Would 100% recommend this tea shop. Great selection of food, daily specials, the cakes are amazing! Chilled out atmosphere and really, really friendly staff. Here are your photographs Frieda :) Thank you for having me xx

We are Grandparents in our late 40's and early 50's and consider ourselves foodies, who do a lot of home cooking as well as eating out reguarly. When eat out we do not expect 'perfection' (things do go wrong sometimes). We do expect friendly staff, a nice atmosphere and good food. We always try to be subjective and give an honest review.We went for a bit of lunch on a sunday and went to Frieda's based on their trip advisor reviews, and we are glad to report that the good reviews were well deserved. We were only looking for a light lunch and a decent cuppa, so we both opted for sandwiches. I had the BLT and my wife had a Ham and Coleslaw both on Granary bread. What came up was 2 doorsteps packed with lovely fresh ingredients. The bacon in my BLT was thick cut and really tasty, and the ham in my wife's sandwich was thick cut ham and totally delicious, the coleslaw was home made and tasted lovely. The only small criticism was there was a couple of 'stalky' bits in the coleslaw which were a bit hard, but they were easily removed, and judging by the effort that had gone into the food we guess this was probably an oversight and not normal for this place. I know we only had a couple of sandwiches, but they were generous and some love and care had gone into them, so we have no doubt that whatever you ordered at Frieda's would be of the same quality. The tea was good too!!Would definitely recommend and we will go back when we are next in Bournemouth.(They also run a 'tea bus' twice a week which gives you a tour of the local coastline whilst serveing a traditional 3 tiered tea which looked really interesting, and not bad value if you factor in you get a tour as well as afternoon tea. We will give this a go next time we are in the area).Bruce and Diane x x

There was 8 of us on a visit and whilst the food was delicious, service wasn't as great. We had to get up several times to ask for extra hot water for the tea, tap water for the table and more milk. There were a few times that we couldn't see any staff at all and considering we were the only other table in there and had booked, I would have expected better service. I have given them a 4 because the food was great and there was plenty of it so none of us could complain on that front and in the end that is the main thing that counts.

11 of us on the afternoon tea bus. Great food, tea was beautiful, the team on the bus were just great and very friendly, definitely recommend this for anyone who loves an afternoon tea.

Had a great ride on the tea bus for my hen weekend. Food was yummy, staff friendly. Dietary requirements were well catered for and the bus is pretty and welll decorated in the theme. Would def go again!

Had afternoon tea on the bus on my hen weekend! Friendly staff, good service, amazing food! Lovely way to see some sights and spend time with friends

I've been going to Frieda's for a few years and it is one of the best breakfast joints in Bournemouth. The ingredients are quality, the service is always great and the seating is comfortable. They also have parking round he back which is always handy for a town centre location. Their cakes are amazing too!

Just had a really pleasant afternoon with a group of girlfriends to celebrate two March birthdays. The staff at Frieda’s Tea Room were welcoming and attentive, the endless tea was refreshing and the sandwiches/cakes were scrummy. We had two different dietary requirements (veggie & gluten free) which were well catered for. Highly recommend the tea rooms, we might try Frieda’s Bus next

Second visit over a 6 month period, again having the Dorset Afternoon Tea. The sandwiches were fantastic, especially the egg mayo and chicken mayo, the bread was beautifully fresh and the sandwiches a decent size. Scones on the small side but wonderfully fresh and still warm. Plenty of cakes too, ranging from Lemon, Victoria Sponge and Chocolate, the latter being slightly on the dry side but cocoa does have a tendency to result in a drier sponge. A point lost only because there was a noticeable wait to be asked if we wanted any more tea, but they were very busy will a full tearoom. Would certainly go again, even if to try their breakfasts.

Had a lovely cream tea with two very special friends 😀 The staff were lovely 😊 nothing to much trouble. And proper cups & saucers I would highly recommend this little out of the way tearoom

Stunning breakfast and the cakes looked far to good to leave so we had to take some for later 😁 Wonderful staff Great decor..very relaxed!

We came here as a group of 4 adults and a toddler. I did not realise that they have expanded to next door and have more space to sit, So we were sat next door, which was good because the toddler had more space! And there was a piano there which we were welcome to play. Staff very friendly and attentive. The cakes were delicious. I would especially recommend the red velvet cake. We also had a Reese's Pieces cake and a salted caramel sponge, all of which were delicious. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Perfect Sunday morning.

I booked Frieda’s new room for my baby shower. We had 25 guests and it was a great venue as we had the whole new room to ourselves. The afternoon tea was great, really reasonable priced and the scones were amazing. The staff were really friendly and I would definitely go again.

I have been going to Frieda's for the past year pretty much every Thursday lunch time and have never been disappointed. My girlfriend and I love the place, it has great, friendly staff, a superb range of cakes and breakfasts and klunches and you are always made to feel welcome.We are extremely pleased that they have extended through to the next building as on occasions it has been full and we have been very disappointed when we have been unable to have lunch there.

I was wandering through Bournemouth on my way from the train station down to the centre when the cute pink vintage bike caught my eye.. I just had to take a wander to find what Friedas tea room was like. I just wanted a nice light breakfast and somewhere that I would feel comfy dining on my own.. it was perfect The staff where friendly And welcoming and I had a lovely pot of tea and a generous portion of toast.. the tea room has a really homey and cosy feel.There is a wide range of hot and cold drinks available including a great selection of teas..there is also a take away service if you don’t have time to sit and enjoy the tea room I would like to return again one day to try the afternoon tea as the cakes looked delicious.

I went to Frieda's for my 30th birthday with 16 other people. Staff were extremely helpful when I booked. Food on the day was amazing, had two vegans and a vegetarian and they were very impressed with the food they were given too. Lovely tea rooms will be visiting again

First visit , warm place , food correct , busy place. we will going back. the ambiance is agreable. i think the weekend , should be good to book before.

We were lucky enough to win a cream tea for two at a local raffle for Frieda’s tea room.On arrival we were made to feel so welcome, it is a lovely cafe with a truly homely feel.The cream tea was delicious, scones were warm with plenty of strawberry jam and clotted cream. We had five cups of tea from the pot between us and there was still some more left if wanted.We would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. They even have a tea bus that tours the local area whilst you are eating, is definitely something to look into doing.We would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

This recently opened shop is excellent - had lovely cake and tea, and a breakfast here. Freshly cooked food, pleasant service and that rarity, loose leaf tea. Will be back!

I went here a week ago for a baby shower. There were about 19 of us, we all had the afternoon tea for £15 each. The first thing I noticed was that the coffee was awfully week and had to ask to have it made stronger but was still so week. No one came round at all to make sure the tea was topped up if there was enough milk etc, we had to keep getting up and asking several times. The worse thing tho was that the cakes were all stale, which was so disappointing. Nearly all the girls had left there cakes because they were so stale. The sandwiches were lovely obviously made fresh, but having emailed them to let them know, they didn’t bother getting back in contact just to apologise. So no I wouldn’t waste my money going here again!

Lovely home made food with quick service. A cute English tea room for lunch in a quiet setting at good value.

Perfect white door stop bread, quality sausages cooked to perfection. Homemade cakes are also on display, they have at least 4 or 5 to choose from and the portion sizes on a slice is generous. A very friendly homely cafe, a little gem in central bournemouth. Tricia the manager is particularly kind, she will go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your food and the experience of Freida’s cafe.

The chocolate milkshake was amazing. My partner order the orange mocha and it was brilliant. The soup was also superb and very tasty. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend! 10/10

Very warm and calm atmosphere, energetic staff. Nice customers. Very pleasant sensation! Good breakfast tea.

I went on Frida's Tearoom to had breakfast, I ate two delicious sausages , bread with butter and eggs and to drink one orange juice , I loved these food !!!! This tearoom is special and beautiful , and the food is homemade! good food and good atmoshpere! perfect place

A great start to a hen party of 22 people. Plenty of food and the tea and coffee flowed nicely, the lady at the front of it all, never catches her name was lovely and made sure no one came through the door as we had the whole tea room for just us. Can't thank them enough.we even had boxes to take left over cake with us!

An amazing breakfast, lovely tea room, great food lovely people and coffee. Really good value, bit vintage and quirky really relaxing.

Well worth a visit. Such a charming little place. Very quaint with great customer service. My mom and I each had a cream tea which was delicious and the tea is served in little vintage china mugs. Even the bathrooms had actual hand towels instead of paper towels. They even let us park our car for free while we ran into town, which I thought was very kind. Recommended to anyone who likes a cozy environment to have a cream tea, although their cakes, sandwiches and afternoon tea all looked delicious as well.

Came there to have a decent breakfast and was happy with there Eggs on Toast with Smoked Salmon. It's simple yet tasty.

Had been meaning to visit for ages and finally got round to popping in with my Mum. We had heard about the amazing cakes so decided to share a sandwich so we had room for cake! The sandwich we had was great. Very tasty. We went for the brie and cranberry option. They had a great selection of cakes on offer so I tried the oreo one. It was great! Service was very friendly. I will definitely be back!

For a couple of Americans This step back into the Downton Abbey era of England was two hours of pure joy. China cups and teapots, melt-in-your-mouth finger sandwiches and cakes and scones with clotted cream and jam...heaven!

This tearoom is a little jewel which we visited having seen the reviews on trip advisor. It is just lovely, very quaint and cosy. The service was very efficient and the afternoon tea delicious. Not to be missed.

Stumbled upon this place completely by accident when wondering about in Bournemouth and its a real hidden gem. great food and the Scottish lady who served us was really friendly. We ate in the Tearoom but then found out about the Tea Bus!! Can't wait to get a group together to try this out.

Went to Frieda's on a Saturday morning for a big breakfast before hitting Bournemouth's shops. The place is tucked away off the Old Christchurch Road nearer to Lansdowne than the Square. It is worth seeking out. Breakfast was excellent, the sausages were particularly tasty. Service was efficient and warm. The cakes on display looked very tempting particularly the chocolate Oreo cake, but I had to restrain myself from buying a slice due to being full from the delicious breakfast!

Looking for some where to have a nice breakfast ,remembered having a lovely tea and cake here so de idea to try,wow,so glad we did the food was delicious, bacon tastiest we had for years,piping hot and doorstep toast,pot of tea for 2,we had the mini breakfast and we were both more than satisfied,thank you and see you soon

Das Cafe ist typisch Englisch eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Auch der Kuchen hat mir gut geschmeckt :) Nur leider war die Bedienung im Teahouse sehr unfreundlich und obwohl ich der einzige Gast war wirkte sie gestresst. Das ganze hat dann eine etwas ausladende Stimmung gemacht...

We came aboard friedas teabus as a special treat for my mums 60th birthday and we loved it! The bus is converted into a mobile tearoom! The food, homemade sandwiches, cakes and macaroons were all delicious and we have lovely scones that were served warm! We were even offered seconds of the sandwiches!! The bus takes you on a scenic tour along Bournemouth coastline and stops for a comfort break at hengistbury head. We were upstairs and had great views!! The endless tea/coffee were served in covered travel mugs which is definitely needed on some bumpy roads!! - but you do get to drink your drink when the bus has stopped! Fresh orange juice served on arrival was a nice touch! Mum had a brilliant time and we will be booking to board again soon! Big thanks to the lovely staff too, they were very friendly and took photos of us to help make memories of our trip!
