No.8 Cafe in North Dorset

Can't recommend No.8 Cafe enough. Friendly staff. Nice inside and out. Off the East Street so nice and secluded. I had the Little Breakfast - which was enough and very tasty. Every element well made and sourced. I especially like the mushroom with thyme, cooked for a perfect amount of time and not swimming in butter like usual. Bang on! Had a really nice coffee too. Go!

Wow, big shout out to Lucy at Cafe 8 for the most amazing afternoon tea for our big family. Sandwiches and cakes were delicious and lovely friendly service. 5 star service and very highly recommended. Thank you we will be back very soon 5 Sta

Fantastic service and amazing coffee, will definitely be back for more!!! They also deliver and the food is home made, thank you.

Popped in here for lunch on my work break, owner and fellow customers made me feel very welcome. Had what I can only describe as one of the best toasties I have ever had on fresh sour dough bread, and a home made slice of cake which was to die for! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, you won’t get better service anywhere else!

On New Years Eve we found this little gem of a cafe tucked away and one of the few that day that was open for lunch. The owner was very friendly and welcoming given we were probably the last customers of the year! This is a great place - small and perfectly formed, it has everything you need from a cafe. All the other diners seemed to know each other and the owner so presume they were regulars which is a good sign. We enjoyed the coffee and the sandwich, soup and jacket potato. Will definitely be returning visitors. Highly recommend.

Ok so you know that old pair of shoes that just won’t throw away, or that armchair because you love the comfort, familiarity and security they provide. Well that’s this place. If you want to meet people from all walks of life what ever class. And if you want kind considerate service from local people and also learn about the area then you have to go here! This place is a hidden GEM and close guarded secret of the local people but as it’s only me and you reading it I’ll let you in on it lol! Honestly though Lucy’s (the young women who runs it) Toasties are famous in Blandford town. Everything here is either homemade or locally sauced and nothing’s to much trouble for these lovely people. If your visiting Blandford from out of town then head here for real authentic Dorset experience. The only downside is that it’s tucked up a little alley towards the bottom of the town so if you don’t know it’s there you’ll miss it. But when you fund it and taste the great food you wont, want to share it anyway it’s really that delicious. Try the Brie and bacon toasty on sourdough with chilli jam I’m a real fan.

A lovely little cafe serving top notch food and great coffee. Dementia friendly and very dog friendly. The owner is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Well worth a visit.

I love this cafe. Lucy is welcoming, friendly and has great ideas for good combos. Her bacon and cheese sticks are seriously more-ish but nothing hits the spot like her cheese and chorizo toasties. Thank you!!

I came here with my sister and I had a nice tea and chocolate milkshake🍫Amazing, definitely going again.

Today I went to No.8 Cafe, Amazing it was brilliant chocolate milkshake and some toastiy. I recommend coming to this place

I look forward to visiting and delivering to Blandford on Monday mornings as I happened across this charming cafe.. I get bacon roll nd latte coffee.. With an extra shot of coffee... Perfect and Lucy is fun to chat to.. I'm looking forward to trying her cakes!!

8 am on the dot,great coffee fresh home made cake all local food salad grown outhe back, good banter I looked her up on the chat natter table scheme which is great as the banters all ways funny.

Visited No 8 cafe initially to set up dementia friendly status and it has ended up being one of my favourite cafes! The cheese scones are fabulous and the sourdough toasties are amazing. Well worth a visit!!

Googled & messaged 1st as wanted a dog friendly cafe to meet family member for a quick catch up . Served coffees while deciding & had amazing toasties -all different & all very appetising . Had more drinks & all bought to table . Cakes also looked good . Very friendly service . 😃

Had a lovely lunch here and sat outside. Lovely little sun trap. Decent coffee and lovely fresh bread for sandwiches. Very reasonable price. Sometimes forget its here as hidden off the main street.

Went for a coffee and some brunch in number 8 after walking round blandford struggling to find somewhere that took my fancy. When I browsed across their menu I saw that they had an extensive brunch menu with lots of variety. When I walked into the cafe it was very clean and tidy and really welcoming especially from Dave the manger of the cafe who welcomed me in quickly and sat me down. We were quickly served by a member of staff named Lucy who took our drinks order whilst we made our decisions about what to have to eat. Once we decided we quickly called Lucy over to put in our order and just like that we were all done, I decided to go for a mozzarella and bacon toastie served with chilli jam which was made by Jayne the amazing baker and in house chef. The toastie was full of flavour and nicely toasted which was nice to see especially with the size of the toastie and the amount of filling inside. Overall I would rate the cafe 10/10 and would recommend a visit and might say it’s the best cafe in Dorset

We walked through town looking for a cafe when we came across a board for No 8 cafe. We could have missed it as we were about to turn around to walk back. I am very pleased we didn't. A small cafe but very clean, friendly staff and lovely food.

Very good friendly, efficient service in an easy atmosphere where you can chat to the local customers and proprietors and enjoy tasty, well prepared and presented food and drinks. The business is truly a family one and customers benefit from the thought, care and hard work that the proprietor and her family put into the business. The premises, cutlery and crockery are spotless.

We had flat whites and shared a piece of cake, which was a lemon and blueberry sponge. The coffee and cake were top notch and beautifully presented by Lucy, who also made the cake! It’s a small cafe, but well organised AND dog friendly; we plan to go back soon and sample the breakfast menu.

Really enjoy every morning, as a veteran with a small dog and health issues its great I meet another veteran in there nice and early others come later great banter, food to die for I can't keep my hands off the cake, very friendly and dog friendly so perfect.

Lovely owner who remembered my order after only a few visits! Lovely coffee, prefer it to Costa coffee! A local business that deserves your support!

Just popped in for coffee this morning. The cafe is small and the girl in charge friendly and efficient. The snack menu is small but varied. Would recommend this little tucked away cafe highly

Really lovely cafe, great food and atmosphere, super friendly staff and owner. Would highly recommend to anyone in Blandford Forum!

I've visited No.8 Cafe a few times and it is now one of my regular places to go for coffee. Toasted sandwiches are delicious and there's a good choice of homemade cake. The service is good, nice to be greeted by a friendly smiling face. Toilet is spotlessly clean. Definitely worth a visit.

No.8 may be one of Blandford's smaller cafes but it's big on quality, with delicious home made food and great service. Lucy always makes sure there's a warm welcome and has put a lot of thought into making sure there's something for everyone, including gluten free, veggie or vegan customers. This family-run cafe is one of our favourite places to go and is well-worth a visit.

This place is tucked away but worth finding! The food and drinks are tasty and Lucy the owner is lovely!

I stopped at this rather hidden little cafe for lunch whilst visiting Blandford on a scorching hot day in May, the first time I have had a browse around this lovely town since the bypass was built. The menu is not vast but there should be something for everyone. I ordered brie, bacon and sweet chilli toastie with a cappuccino which came to a reasonable £6.70. The food was excellent and the service good.

Have eaten at this lovely little cafe a few times now and it’s always been fantastic!

Was passing by this quirky café and decided to give it a go one day last week. I received a lovely reception from the young lady behind the till and another lady working in there (after having a conversation I learnt they were mother and daughter). I ordered a latte which was bought to my table and I can honestly say this is the best coffee I have ever had! I was so impressed I visited again later in the week with my mother, we both decided to try one of the toasties and were amazed at how they tasted, they also came with a healthy lump of crisps-which is rather unusual in most cafes. I finished the toastie with a milkshake and absolutely adored the chocolatey taste!! What a lovely, friendly, family run café with great homemade food and service with a smile! would recommend to all ages as there is something on the menu for anyone! the only problem I now have is trying to decide what to have off the menu whenever I go there...

No. 8, is hands down the best café in Blandford, its beautifully decorated with great coffee. The toasties are amazing, and the homemade cakes really are divine. I wouldn't consider going to a different café after discovering No. 8. Lucy is incredibly friendly, and doing an amazing job. There are toys to distract the children which is a great benefit. Cannot wait to visit again!

A new little Cafe that has a lovely friendly atmosphere. The food is all freshly prepared and can highly recommend the home made cappacino cake and the chocolate brownies. The lattes are my favourite and the hot chocolate my children's favourite. Best latte I've had in a long while. Extremely clean.

Amazing cafe. The toasties are very tasty, would recommend the brie and bacon as well as the milkshakes. Fast service and lovely friendly staff who are always smiley and chatty. Cannot fault this place.

Had a lovely lunch at the No.8 Cafe yesterday. My toastie was very tasty, hot chocolate was beautifully done & Lucy was very friendly and made us feel very welcome! Will definitely be returning
