L'arte Coffee House in Poole

Lovely, family-run business. Very friendly staff, great coffee and hand made rolls, wraps and snacks. Dan and Joe are top guys. Great atmosphere with a local vibe. 👍☕

quick service and nice little spot but your chai latte needs so much work it tastes horrible and bland! £4 on this is crazy work

Had a delicious breakfast and coffee here with family. Lovely atmosphere and nice staff, high recommend!

Lovely little café, great food amd friendly service

This is a nice little café near the university. It serves differents options to eat, different types of coffee and the decor and music in the background is good. I personally would use a different type of coffee but it's up to taste.

Incredible place, incredible coffee!

A very busy little coffee shop. 'Mugshot' coffee was extremely good! shabby chic with youthful energy. Diligent baristas that know how to extract, quite rare! and friendly staff. Table service. Really excellent Bacon bap.

Cakes are expensive . Closes at 4pm so if want something to eat get there at least an hour before

Dan and team were great. They did the catering for our staff training day. All the staff were so happy . The food looked great and tasted amazing.

My favourite spot to get coffee, food and drink very high-quality and Atmosphere is relaxing. Plenty of really good vegan options too. Definitely would recommend.

Cozy and fab. Drink, all day breakfast and services are perfect. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent coffee spot, great vibes, friendly welcome. Bravo

Lovely hangout for meeting friends.

My first visit today, having been told about it yesterday. What a gem! Beautiful place, lovely decor. really helpful and friendly staff and wow!. gorgeous hot drinks and vegan cakes 😋 Reasonable prices for quality produce, lovely atmosphere and really good service. Only did coffee today but saw lovely looking wraps and paninis being brought out for people and they looked delicious so definately a lunch next visit! What a lovely place 😊

Never left a review before, but felt I had to when I came here. I have never had such a good coffee or Bacon Sarnie. The service here is incredible, staff are smiley and friendly. The barista know how to extract and does great latte art. The chap cooking looks like he loves his job and the girl on the till is just so efficient. I’ve worked in the cafe trade for 20 years and wish I had these staff in my cafes. I hope their boss appreciates them.

This is a wonderful independent coffee shop. Great atmosphere, lovely food and excellent coffee. The staff are friendly and welcoming . What a refreshing change to the usual high street offerings.

Sorry but this place has gone downhill since it’s changed management. It’s freezing cold in there, with uncomfortable places to sit. The coffee I had was honestly the worst coffee I’ve ever had. So weak and tasteless, basically like hot sour milk. One lady sat there 15 mins waiting for her drink - there was nobody in there. What a shame that the coffee on AUBs site is now better.

Edit, The coffee house has undergone major reconstruction since my review last year. The atmosphere has changed and it's more minimalist and streamlined and much less comfortable. The rotating art from various artists has been replaced by grey paint. Long hardwood benches and small metal and wooden chairs compliment the minimalist look but are very uncomfortable to sit on. The actual coffee can vary depending on their supplier at the time. At the time of this review it's really not great. The staff are wonderful. Delightful snacks are available and they cater for most eating habits.

Absolutely love everything about this cafe. The food is delicious, the atmosphere and music. Staff is very friendly. Simply a perfect place to come for a brunch or a cup of coffee.

First time here, and did not know the place before this visit. Fab service and flat white for both of us. Sandwich wise, had brie abd cranberry was very good. Brie and fried onions was nice but no fab for my taste. Would def recommend if you are in the area.

Festive toaster panini was brilliant. Service was a bit cold and unsmiling, which is a shame

Nice enough, great for a quick coffee and a sandwich but they have a limited range of food. It would be nice to have an English breakfast rather then have it in a panini.

Once you've had your first visit you will go back again and again.

What can I say but everything from the service, food and comfort is above and beyond. I can't help but keep coming back weekly.

Great coffee, delicious! Friendly team, well priced. Great job 👏

The best, it's absolutely delicious

Manager Alberto was really professional and had brilliant service, Chef Leart cooked the best lamb i have had. Definitely recommend.

Amazing avo, halloumi, bacon and eggs on sourdough toast. Coffee was strong and flavourful and very reasonably priced. Yum yum! Also served with a smile and faster than I could cook it 😀

Lovely set up brilliant coffee and staff and a nice couple of miles away from Boscombe which is needed from time to time

Friendly staff, quick service, lovely interior.

Great little cafe. Clearly well liked by how busy it was.

A lovely little coffee shop with a nice range of midday snacks. I had a lovely brie and cranberry pannini, served with a small bowl of crisps and a rocket salad drizzled with balsamic dressing, all very tasty and only £5. We ate outside which was an added bonus on a sunny day. Will definitely go back again.

Coffee had a real sour milk taste to it, wasn't pleasant at all. Asked for some toast...got this warmed up chewy stuff instead. Staff seem more interested in their phones and mates, than actual customers. Only 4 mins from my house, so was hoping to make it a regular cafe to visit....but sour milk in coffee and chewy bread makes it a thanks, but no thanks for me.

Attended a book launch for a local author and had very nice coffee.

I honestly don't know how they do it. I love Bad Hand coffee, I've had it in several places as well as at home, but this little gem of a coffee shop just makes it better than anyone else.

Excellent friendly coffe shop. Great staff and cake. Warm atmosphere. Cool art on the walls.

Love this place. Friendly staff fabulous muffins and perfect coffee.

A superb vanilla iced latte, and I ordered a chicken caesar wrap to takeaway but received a mozzarella, tomato & pesto panini...not that it really mattered because it was still delicious 😂👌 Will definitely be back!

Brilliant food and great coffee!

Really good range of food and good service too!

Says open till 10pm but closes at 4pm

Local independent lovely coffee

Lovely place to drop in for breakfast, i always have the bacon mushroom bap and coffee. Highly recommended!

Terrible attitude by the guy making the coffee. We got served luke warm coffee and when we asked if it could be warmed up he told us quite aggressively that they only do coffee at that temperature. IF we wanted hot coffee it had to be asked for when orderered AND that they wont heat it up again in future. He didnt smile once and looked like he didn't want to be there.

Nice location on the campus, good atmosphere, gives culture a good name,well prepared food, drinks prepared with love and care.

Lovely decor. Nice enough coffee. Staff were so uninterested and so unenthusiastic it made us feel we were an inconvenience. Shame

Great coffee, nice atmosphere and delicious food

Very good they needed something like this in that area for studants

Wow!! We had a wonderful breakfast roll, cake and probably the best coffee I’ve ever had! Soooooo goood! Both in flavor and with the care and attention to the milk art! Fantastic!! Well done guys! We will return next time we are in town ! I just I didn’t live so far away! Thank you very much 😋

Great menu, a cosy corner and friendly staff.

Amazing coffee amazing food and very very friendly staff. My fav coffee shop

Wonderful little coffee place with good staff and a great atmosphere with arty students always in and out. Makemit your choice for coffee if you're in the area 🙂👍

Lovely little cafe, surprisingly busy, tucked away behind the Uni. Friendly staff, tasty paninis and good coffee. No website, so popped the menu on here for others.

Staff are super friendly and polite, I had a bacon roll and Pumpkin Spice latte and can honestly say well worth the price and tasted amazing, would highly recommend to everyone.

I came across this coffee house a few weeks ago and I have to say their food is outstanding! Today I ordered the toasted avocado, tomato and lettuce sandwich. It was exceptional to say the least. I also ordered the couscous salad, extremely tasty. Their overnight oats with coconut and raspberries certainly didn't disappoint. All totally fresh and reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Awesome little coffee shop in Talbot village doing a great job.

Wow, another treat from the best coffee shop in Dorset - overnight oats with a twist of peanut butter is taste sensation to set you up for the day. 5 Stars for L’arte, Dan and his team.

Great coffee and service. I regularly come here as I work at the University next door. Staff are welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable about the coffees they serve. Bad Hand is a definite bonus.

The coffee wasn't at all bad though I have had better. It's a bit shabby chic in quite a nice way, however, any shortcomings are made up for and surpassed by the very pretty young ladies serving

Great lunch options with vegan alternatives. The wrap or sandwich is served with chips as well. The prices are reasonable.

One of the best speciality coffee shops in Bournemouth. Staff are pleasant and cosy atmosphere.

Delicious lunch as always! Love it there 😋

Good coffee, good location, good service and in a very nice and quiet area

Superb place, calm atmosphere, great people, brilliant coffee. Exceptional bread/rolls used in their sandwiches…. makes a big difference. Nice to see an independent service thriving.

Very, very good coffee here. Lovely decor, nice staff

The pesto chicken panini was so good I visited three times in a week while on vacation. Coffee was also good! Both hot and iced versions. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. The wall art was perhaps questionable, but that's a part of the experience. Cozy place. Dog friendly as well.

Lovely place. Would totally recommend

Hidden gem serving fab coffee and freshly made food. Relaxed atmosphere with lots of artwork and the friendliest staff.

Molly was an absolute star to us today- cappucino tasted fresh and tasty!!

Cosy café walkable from Bournemouth university campus. Good price and coffee.

Great atmosphere, excellent food at good prices. Superb service.

Good friendly staff, very nice coffee. This will become one of our regular haunt.

Nice atmosphere, good food, great coffee - what's not to love about the place

Excellent place. Friendly staff. The best bacon roll I've tried in a long time

Very friendly and kind people working here, a relaxed environment with nice interior decor … but the coffee was truly perfect, it’s very difficult to find coffee as good as L’arte coffee, and I look forward to my next visit.

Nice venue, friendly staff and good coffee

A hidden gem in town. Local coffee with friendly staff, I always have a good coffe with a chocolate bar. A nice spot for a good coffe and ambiance

Amazing place,great coffee and amazing atmosphere to relax

Free parking. Taste good, must try! Staff is friendly.

Just popped in for a coffee. Coffee was good but not very hot. Background music was too loud so made chatting with friends difficult. Not particularly warm inside.

Lovely Coconut hot chocolate and a delicious Vegan sausage sandwich 😋🥪, good food, good drinks, friendly staff.

Best oat flat white in town! Great coffee art and customer service. Love this place.

Lovely coffee and food, excellent service.

I popped into this coffee shop on the 12th, it sells Bad Hand coffee now I love coffee and have been to tons of coffee bars but this was the best coffee I have ever had absolutely gorgeous will be popping up again even if it is 3 miles away well worth it .

Such a great little coffee shop. Good coffee and a simple menu of food choices. The vibe is peaceful and relaxed and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, friendly staff. Recommended!

Lovely little find... Great coffee and food.

Lovely coffee, food, and staff. Nice friendly atmosphere.

3 of us visited today and enjoyed delicious food and perfect coffee complemented by excellent service. A busy coffee house with a buzzy atmosphere and great artwork. Perfect!

Nice coffee and a range of other people's dogs to admire.

Love this place. Very vegan friendly and dog friendly :)

Amazing food & drink and excellent customer service!

Best coffee in Bournemouth hands down 🥇

Great little coffee shop, all the staff are lovely.

Killer coffee that is only a walk away. The cake slices (Peanut Butter M&M!) is next level.

I have no hesitation with giving L'arte 5 stars. Staff are always friendly, coffee is great and food is just what you want it to be. Keep it up guys!

This is my local coffee shop and one that I'll hope will continue for some time to come as the service, food and drinks here are all fantastic.

Nicely laid out, welcoming and pleasant, nice coffee too.

Lovely little cafe. Dog friendly which is always a bonus. Their chicken Caesar wrap is the best I have had and my husband assures me the coffee is also excellent.

Popped in for a cafe late and Victoria sponge cake. Also had a chicken pesto and mozzarella ciabatta thingy. There's parking right outside and they let us bring a dog inside. Really friendly staff. Unfortunately they ran out of avocado. Would be nice to see more freshly baked bitts to
