Moore Than Tea in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Delicious lunch enjoyed at this independent cafe. I had the ploughman's baguette, one friend had a veggie pasty and the other a cream tea. Service was friendly. Food portions generous and Service very friendly.

Stopped off here whilst walking round Bridport on market day. Was absolutely superb. A generous sized mug of tea and one of the biggest tea cakes I've seen. Well worth the trip.

We always try to go in independents rather than chains and Moore Than Tea was a great find. Very friendly staff and delicious food. I had a chicken and sun dried tomato toastie and my husband had a New York deli toastie. Both were excellent. The cakes looked scrumptious but we were too full up of toastie to indulge! We will definitely go in again if we are in the area.

A nice place, with a very good position on the main thoroughfare, slightly quirky interior decor and a decent brew to refresh on a chilly November morning. But the question remains, is “Moore” an intentional spelling mistake, or the name of the owners? Major Credit Cards are accepted.

We walked from West Bay, via Eype into Bridport early one morning. Looking for somewhere for breakfast I got my phone out to peruse the reviews on Trip Advisor. Much to my horror, my wife said, “put your phone away, let’s just go in this one!” Her instinct was spot on! A friendly welcome and a charming interior boded well. It was quite busy- a good sign. We ordered hot drinks and Full English breakfast. Unusually, the breakfast followed the hot drinks soon enough that both could be enjoyed together ( a rare thing and very appreciated!) Couldn’t fault the breakfast at all, it was perfect. I also enviously gazed at the pancakes(?) ordered by the next table. The staff/owner found a few minutes to have a chat despite being busy, which was nice. Toilet clean too. All in all a very pleasant experience and an establishment I would recommend… if you stop to read the reviews that is!

Gorgeous cakes, fabulous sandwiches, very pleasant staff, Covid aware, what's not to like about this lovely cafe. Come on people, support your local businesses. I wish we lived closer so we could make this a regular haunt! Highly recommend.

We visited Time for Tea on 7 September, so as you can see, it’s taken me forever to post my review. However, I feel that the fact that I am still writing this after so many weeks have passed, speaks volumes about our experience! Customer service was excellent, as was the coffee. The homemade cakes were served in very generous slices and the coffee and walnut cake was totally amazing. Next time I’m in Bridport, this lovely cafe will definitely be my first port of call!

This was a great find as we strolled down the high street trying to find a nice cafe for a cup of tea. Good choice of sandwiches, baguettes and jacket potatoes. Good service too

Popped in here for a late afternoon snack - we had already been to West Bay and then spent the afternoon on Bridport High Street and just needed a small 'something' to tide us over until supper. We had between us a variety of sandwiches and a few hot drinks. The sandwiches were lovely and fresh - full of whichever filling we had chosen. The drinks were equally good - my Mum especially enjoyed her tea which was hot and strong - with an extra jug of hot water to top up the pot - friendly staff - good service. I think we caught them close to closing time to be honest - but there was no rush to get us out - we enjoyed a nice relaxed time and enjoyed/soaked up the writing on the walls.

Excellent quality food but portions could do with being a bit bigger. But that aside all was good and hot and very fresh. On a plus they got the hard egg bit right

Last visited here in mid-March during a shopping day in Bridport; it was good to return in the post-lockdown world...and to sit outside in the sun, watching the world go by. We enjoyed quiche, a cheese and caramelised onion toastie and salad, together with drinks. All absolutely delicious, with friendly and very good service and good value for money.

Lunchtime visit on a cold March day; friendly welcome, cosy atmosphere. One home made soup with bread, one cheese and tomato toastie, both truly excellent, and the soup really is home made and superb. Great service and value. Would call again, thank you.

Great staff, the most creative and delicious cakes in town, good value, extensive menu for brekkie, sandwiches, soups, meals etc, all very lovely.

Popped in at 2pm on the way to our holiday on South Coast. Was pouring down! Had a lovely small English breakfast (lovely sausage) & cake. Really hit the spot & staff were friendly & nice.

Lovely little cafe with a lovely welcome and ambiance. All the cakes and savouries are made on the premises. Great range of drinks are an extensive menu perfect for a stop off when in Bridport.

Came across in passing, but really glad we did, lovely friendly atmosphere and food to match, nice and traditional.

Yeah nice but paid more than we would have in London, £7.50 for a jacket potato with tuna, make a profit fine but that’s not right.

A tea shop that you eat with your eyes as you gaze upon the delightful array of choice spread before you in the glass counter and staff to compliment the atmosphere with humour and friendliness mismatched,aeclectic vintage setting and the food and refreshment was local and some maybe homemade well that's how it ticked the taste buds...twice we visited in the same week and both times it agreed with us as a family...

Me and my family went in to treat our children, my daughter couldn't stop looking at the amazing selection of cakes and was spoilt for choice. The scrambled eggs I had where most defiantly locally sauced. the service was brilliant, we ordered and took a seat and quickly all our food and drinks where delivered to us. lovely shop, great staff and tasty food.

Really enjoyed the quick stop off. The quiches and pies looked delicious so would be tempted to go back.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Staff were so helpful, and everyone in shop couldn't speak more highly of them. We knew we were on to a winner! Had homemade quiche warmed through with a salad, a big mug of tea and large portion of yummy cake. Sat outside and watched world go by. Thank you for a super lunch.

We had fritatas, quiche & salad for a late lunch and so very sadly had no room for cake.

Lovely little cafe with varied menu, interesting decor and friendly staff. Would definitely have to come back next time I’m here.

We went there for lunch and had a full Englisch breakfast (very good, great portion), a jacket (also very tasty) and a frittata (fresh, great flavors and a mixture of vegetables in it)

We were looking for a place to have a coffee, and found this wonderfully different cafe! Absolutely great.

On a drizzly day I found refuge in More than Tea, a friendly cafe with comfortable sofa and WiFi too

This is a very quaint and tastefully decorated café. A beautiful display of cakes, pastries and other delicacies made it very hard to chose what to eat.

Really friendly and accommodating staff. Very nice cream tea which had mini quiches and cheesecake, as well as your usual sandwiches/cake/scone.

I love a friendly welcome but when you get to have a dance as well, well that's what I call customer service with a smile The cream tea was amazing, big fresh scone with lots of strawberry jam and thick Dorset clotted cream, lovely We will definitely return when we're in Bridport again and will probably try the Malteser cheesecake (there's no probably about it) Well done your cafe is spot on

We visited for a second time and we were not disappointed. Delicious cake made by Sarah for me and a full English breakfast for my husband. Drinks were served just as we wanted. The staff were friendly and were a good team which created a comfortable atmosphere. We will be back again.

Great food cooked by chef daughter of owner. Healthy fresh produce and good coffee - six stars . Family run business not a big chain, family grown produce and cakes made in house.

There are more cosily appointed tea rooms - but then they are just eat in, not also take away, which always creates a 'sitting in the back' feel. But I enjoyed a lovely cream tea with freshly baked scone and generous portions of jam and cream, and I cannot recommend them highly enough for the friendly welcome. We arrived quite late in the day, having found several other places closed, and they could not have been more kind and accommodating, above and beyond the call of duty. (If you are, reading this, MTT, thank you!)

I'd not tried this café before, so thought I should. Sadly, I won't be going back in a hurry. The service was friendly but appeared quite disorganised. I asked if I could have a cheese and ham toasty and was told they did ham and cheese; I hope this was an attempt at humour, but doubt it. On the plus side, a toasted panini was suggested, which sounded good, plus a cappuccino. when it eventually arrived, the cappuccino was probably the most disappointing I've had in Bridport; the only good point was the temperature, otherwise the coffee itself was weak and/or lacking flavour. The foam was thin and, quite, frankly, looked more like that produced from a sachet. The toasted panini was also disappointing: the ham was clearly that processed / reconstituted type and lacking flavour and consistency; the cheese tasted average supermarket fare. The panini itself was quite nice, though. If you're looking for good flavours, there are other places nearby who pride themselves on good (usually local) ingredients and flavoursome food and drinks. If all you want is to take on fuel, then this place will work for you. If you want a delicious snack/meal, don't bother.

Wherever I go I always try out the local cream tea. I visited this place back in May and quite simply it was streets ahead of the others I've tried. I will be back, as they say!

Having tried some of their delicious cakes as a take out, my wife and I decided to try a breakfast this morning. What a great decision it was too. Really good produce, well cooked and presented by lovely staff(think it was maybe the owner). I don’t think there is much more I can say other than that we definitely recommend trying it - I mentioned to my wife that it’s now my new favourite place for breakfast in town.

Visited Bridport and popped into this delightful cafe whilst dog and child free! Lured in by a mouthwatering selection of fresh cakes and cheesecakes displayed in the window, we found a cheerful, welcoming interior completed by signed Johnny Wilkinson photos, perfect for my Rugby mad husband! We chose homemade quiches straight from the oven, which were superb. Service was cheerful and efficient and even accepted American Express after a delicious light lunch, we left complete with three delicious cheesecake slices to share with our son later

Stopped here today with a 3 and 6 year old for a quick refresher. Looking through the window the cakes looked amazing!!! We went in and were greated by friendly staff who were brilliant- we were about to buy milkshake and cake for the kids but the girl behind the counter swiftly advised against this due to the richness of the milkshake!! Glad we took her advise. They were lovely but cake too would have ended badly!!

OMG so much choice and sooo scrummy I didn’t know which cake to choose. Just love this place it’s so friendly and cosy.

Lovely little place. Very friendly despite being busy. We ate outside and there was plenty of space for the bikes. Smashing homemade cake. Great gluten free lemon drizzle - don't be put off by how it looks. Next time we'll head in doors. Comfy looking seating area in the back. Enjoyed it - Thank You!

We had a quick lunch here whilst exploring Bridport. The staff were charming and helpful and, on a very hot day, it was lovely to be able to sit inside and enjoy a cool breeze from an open side door. We both ate different quiches and pronounced them tasty and well cooked, washed down with good juices and an excellent coffee - what moore could one wish for at lunch time. The proprietor started her life in catering with a grant from the Princes Trust - what an excellent investment that organisation made in her.

All home made food great atmosphere we had home made quiche with potato salad and rice, a real treat, we will visit again treat yourself if in the area what a great find!

When me and my wife fancied a cream tea we decided to try this place. When ordering the cream tea we were asked if we would like a drink with it which we both found odd seeing as a cream tea generally comes with a pot of tea. We sat down and waited for our cream teas to be delivered to the table and when they came, much to our disappointment, the cream and jam had already been put on the scones for us! Part of the enjoyment of having a cream tea is putting the toppings on yourself in the specific order that you respectively have them. This may seem like a petty thing to complain about but it really annoyed both me and my wife. The experience was only made worse by the mediocre tea and awful décor of the café. Needless to say, I will not be going back.

We were on our way to Sidmouth and stopped for some Hot chocolate and cake. What cake it was, nice large fresh slices of cake. The Hot Chocolate was to die for as well......

As my wife and I live nearby we often drop in to a local café for coffee or lunch. This was our second visit to Moore Than Tea in Bridport, on this occasion for a spot of light lunch.

If you are looking for a place to eat in Bridport and want a change from the usual toasties and paninis, More Than Tea offers something different from the 'cafe menu' with a choice of delicious, fresh, home made dishes and lovely cakes. Combine that with friendly service and a relaxed environment and you have a perfect place to indulge!

This cosy, plus an display of different amazing cakes was a real find for me on a wet cold day while walking the coast path in Dorset. The staff allowed me to stay after closing, as my bus was some time later, so loved the comfy sofa and smell of baking more cakes.

A lovely cosy place on a miserable Good Friday afternoon to enjoy a delicious cake and hot chocolate. Friendly staff too. Can strongly recommend the lemonade cheesecake with Cadbury creme egg!

How can anyone ever fault this lovely little cafe in the heart of Bridport. Love the banter and friendliness of the staff which includes the owner, Sarah. You are a great team.

It was gone 2pm when we arrived. The placed was empty and we were hungry. Much of the menu was sold out as they'd been busy all morning. We did though, mane to get the last of the tomato soap & a bacon baguette. It was freshly made and hit the right spot on this cold February day.

A really nice place to relax with coffee and they do a good range of homemade cakes too. Full of character.

Charming and quirky cafe. Much more inside that you would think and very quirkily decorated. Cakes and other food looked very good though I was only in the market for a coffee on this occasion, and very nice coffee it was too, served with soya milk which is something I need. Friendly proprietress and a peaceful retreat from the high street. I'll be back.

Went there with family 3 adults and a baby (15 months), made very welcome all food looked to me ether home/freshly made or from local produces lots of different options for food on offer from sandwiches to soups and salads.

We were tempted in by the food on display in the window and weren't disappointed. It was a bitterly cold day and we wanted something warm to keep us going during the afternoon.

Went in here today have passed it a few times but never had time to go in. It looks really small from the outside but when you go in it is like a tardis. I had an Americanism with hot milk and a toasted tea cake both excellent as a coffee only person I found the coffee excellent. On talking to the owner who was discussing which soup some regulars would like, she told me it’s home made and all the cakes are home made. On aTuesday & Thursday mornings ( until around 11.30 am a coffee or tea plus a toasted tea cake is on offer at £3, marvellous. I will be calling in some lunchtime soon to try the homemade soup and I am sure I will be really tempted to try a slice of homemade cake. Next time your in Bridport try this lovely eatery you will not be disappointed

The 'Moore Than Tea' rooms immediately caught my eye, the cakes in the window looked delicious, and the coffee machine was spectacular, clearly not an automatic one, so I had really high expectations for a great cup of coffee. It was reasonably priced too, at £2.00 for a take-away latte.

Popped in for a cuppa and a sausage roll with my partner and son. Quality food and coffee, locally sourced ingredients, lovely communal feel to the place, and service was fantastic... all at a really good price too.

Third visit to this delightful little cafe with a lot of good and delicious food - mainly cakes! Always a smile from the staff including the Boss. Keep up the good work, ladies. We will be back! You won't forget us. Watched a young man with his little girl. He had an enormous and delicious looking breakfast.

Having visited Bridport when on holiday for many years, it was such a welcome surprise to find a new tea room that we had not yet tried. We did think about sitting outside but were unable to find a seat - due to the popularity with families with young children - a lovely sight to see in this day and age. Fortunately for us, someone had just vacated an area at the rear of the shop - and we are so glad that they did! The decor was well thought out and impressive, plenty of light and lots of lovely things on the walls, including the well deserved recognition of the owner from HRH Prince of Wales!

Went in for lunch with my mum and loved it. Home made. With fresh ingredients from what I understand was the owners dad's garden. Have been back a couple of times (for cake) and all I can say is yummy.
