Norwegian Wood in Bournemouth

Love this place. Just hidden around back of the high street , this cafe certainly offers the best fresh cooked food . Great feel to it with the history and staff are so polite and friendly I can't fault anything it's what most town's should have , no franchise chain . Prices are really worth what you get. Thanks guys always great to see you .

The food was lovely, staff was very friendly. The food arrived very quickly and was so good. Easy 5 stars

My family needed a place for a good brunch and have been meaning to go here for ages. It did not disappoint them or me. I got lots of fuss and an offer of a free sausage made me very happy! I even got my own napkin. My family all ordered the breakfasts, with my Dad's "Gut Buster" being just that. I got lots of treats from their plates. Best bacon I've had in ages, proper crispy black pudding that was good and soft on the inside, great sausages, and perfect eggs. They couldn't fault it and neither could I. Cool place as well, strongly Beatles influenced of course. Some of the portraits on show were quite funny, lol. Superb service and the radio playing softly in the kitchen just added to the ambience. I'm going back as soon as they'll take me.

Really good breakfast, very friendly service, good atmosphere. I recommend it and we will be coming back!

Super cosy and tasty. Had the latte with the Bacon baguette. Large portions with proper bacon and perfectly toasted. The staff were incredibly kind and made the place really inviting. It's a hidden gem in Bournemouth and will definitely be coming in again.

Best Cafe for a full English in Bournemouth!!

Cute place, good breakfast. I wish I could give the lovely ladies 6 out of 5 stars for the service. The latte was not great but all the food was yum!

This has been our regular for years. Always amazing service, the ladies here are lovely. The best breakfast in Bournemouth. Always recommend to everyone !

Delicious food and a very nice atmosphere. Staff were also really friendly!

A lovely hidden gem in Bournemouth. This was my second visit, taking my Dad and son and once again we loved it. Full plates of delicious food, perfect coffee and desserts that were beautiful.

What a hidden gem, a cool cafe playing great music, super friendly staff and great food. Prices very reasonable.. The restaurant has decor featuring some of greatest bands.

we had such a nice time eating in the sun on their tables outside and the hostess was so accommodating, making little changes here and there to make our experience perfect. i would definitely recommend and will be back the next time i’m in bournemouth!

Came here for a cuppa and catch up. Friendly and helpful staff, old school creative Beatles themed decor. Great hidden gem! 😀

There is no other place that can beat this for the fresh quality of food, service and friendlyness and most importantly for the price. I was invited there by chance and I was amazed at everything they did from. Excellent place....

Great food and coffee! The breakfasts are really good, in fact the food in general is. The owners of the place are super friendly and accommodating.

Not expensive. Attentive and pleasant staff serving wholesome food.

great prices and food, the owner is lovely. been twice and was happy to see she remembered me :)

Good place staff very friendly realy good well priced food

Nice and cozy breakfast café, amazing quality food for a good price, lovely staff members, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast!

Good food, nice coffee. Friendly staff.

Great English breakfast 🍳 a true hidden gem. Must try if you are in the area.

I used to visit nearly every weekend when I studied in Bournemouth. Used to struggle getting a seat at times. Feel like it's kinda lost it's mojo after visiting recently. The quality of the food needs to improve *(IT HAS) and please go back to proper HP Sauce and Heinz Ketchup. The cheap versions really are awful. *( SADLY STILL SERVING AWFUL KETCHUP AND BROWN SAUCE).

Small & intimate. Great food, lovely atmosphere

An amazing out of the way cafe. The food the service everything was fantastic, I can't wait to go again.

I gad a very nice cup of coffee, it was warm inside on a very cold day.

Not very nice at all. Had to wait a long time to get our food and no apology. Won’t be going back there again.

So disappointed. A table of undesirables swearing and carrying on. There were young kids around! Food was worse, it was cold & greasy. If you had told me it had been there since this morning I would believe you. Staff weren’t bothered about us and clock watched more than serving customers. Don’t go

Breakfast was OK, staff friendly and helpful

The baked potato with tuna mayo was absolutely delicious. Can't believe such a humble dish can be made so tasty!

Great place! I just tried english breakfast here and I really enjoyed! Suggested! :)

The food was delicious and the service amazing! Just a small cafe a stone throw from the centre of Bournemouth, definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous all day veggie breakfast surrounded by Beatlemania

Norwegian Wood has simple, lovely food and is not over priced. The staff are hardworking, friendly and courteous and the atmosphere is agreeably retro. In a world of fast food and impersonal service this experience is more personal and refreshing.

This is such a lovely little cafe. It’s a real throw back to the sixties/seventies. Good cafe food, great value and the owners/staff very friendly and efficient.

If you're a Beatles fan this is the place. Plenty of choice for breakfast/brunch. Staff kind and attentive

Found this little gem because of its reviews… fantastic breakfasts at such good value!…. Has to be up there on my post hangover noshups!!

Came for breakfast on a family trip to Bournemouth. Highly recommended this cafe. Good food, service and setting. Value for money as well.

Servicio más amable que he visto en mi vida, la comida estaba buenísima y muy barato para lo que dan, 100% volvería

I ADORE this place ❤️ it literally feels like u coming for breakfast to your family. I paid no more than £8 for veggie breakfast with coffee and it was the biggest breakfast I've had eating out ☺️ so yummy! if you're in Bournemouth you need to go there and say thank u to ladies who are running this for a beautiful job 🥰

Amazing food and experience. Owner very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Quirky layout. We visit almost every week and have never had a bad experience.

What a find. Fantastic, best breakfast, friendly happy staff. Highly recommend. When ever I visit here this is my go too.

Loved this cafe since university 30 years ago, great hangover cure!

Been coming here for a full English breakfast for five years now! Love it with all my heart ❤️ I make sure to bring all my new friends and family here whenever I am in Bournemouth. The music, the people, the food, the portions, the taste, the posters, the vibe and the satisfaction: 10/10! Don't miss out!

Wonderful little cafe with amazing food. The staff are very friendly. I recommend it to everyone who’s near by.

Amazing in every way if your in the area definitely go food was perfect same as service defo coming back when down south again

Original café style with great value for money.

Great little cafe tucked away off a side street. Veggie cooked breakfast is ridiculous good value at around £6-7 including a pot of tea! Piping hot and cooked fresh to order. Good menu choice and great Beatles memorabilia around the cafe. Service is attentive, kind and friendly. Definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed the Avocado Sandwich. Staffs very welcoming. Would recommend!

Can highly recommend the vegetarian breakfast :)

Went here for breakfast and it was a really good breakfast, staff were friendly and it was a reasonable price. Would recommend

Very tasty breakfast. Food took about 40 minutes from ordering. Cool decor

Good all day breakfast and coffee, but we waited a bit for our food to arrive. Enjoyed it when it did come though and would visit again.

Very friendly staff..very clean ..staff very attentive...2 cups of tea at least out of one pot..great quality food ..great quality food

It was great value for money. The place has not changed much in the last 10 years. Wooden tables and chairs. Very good size portions at a low price. The menu has not changed much and it's packed with comfort food and traditional dishes. I would recommend the English breakfast options. They are not fancy but they are well cooked and filling. Coffee was not too bad either.

Fantastic place to it. Very friendly services and food cooked to prefectiin. Me and my family enjoyed eatinjng and the atmosphere. Higly recomended and will go again

Amazing freshly prepared breakfast with fresh orange juice. Great service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Lovely veggie breakfast, got charged more because I swapped a pot of tea for one cup of coffee,,,,,

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service and an interesting history 👌🏽

Thank you for a lovely breakfast. The food was delicious with very generous portions.

Slightly pricier than the average breakfast but enjoyable and a nice atmosphere. Beatles inspired decor and friendly staff. Would return.

Great breakfast and very Friendly Staff! Highly Recommend!!!

Nice Beatles Atmosphere, nice Service and affordable price. I had the Bonanza Breakfast. Thank You

氣氛十足的地方，放鬆享受餐點，服務態度極友善，食物質素好好；一間享受悠閑生活的好去處

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff, great music 🎶 Can't fault it.

I love this place. My friends and I have been coming for breakfasts every month for the past 2 years now. The food is amazing and the cafe plays the best music.

Lovely service, great breakfast, great prices, thank you!

THE nicest fry up! Highly recommend.

Excellent service, friendly staff, very clean, nice portion size. Food is delicious too.... Highly recommended you pay a visit.

The staff were super nice and friendly. This place could be exceptional with a few tweaks: 1. Cook the breakfast to order. To charge almost £13 for a breakfast, I would expect it to be cooked fresh. Everything on the plate was precooked and reheated, which is weird as it wasn't busy at all. It also arrived covered in oil, similar to a typical buffet breakfast. It was unpleasant. I'd prefer to wait for a freshly cooked breakfast, than 5 mins for reheated, precooked, borderline inedible food. 2. Source local produce. At the very least the bacon, eggs and sausage should be good quality, locally sourced produce when charging London prices. The eggs were cheap (a light yellow colour), the sausages were the cheap, chippy type sausages and the bacon was so overly done it was tasteless and beyond dry, it was splintered. 3. Clean restaurant. This place was quite dirty and could do with a deep clean. There was inches of dust hanging from these very strange ceiling beams (left over floor boards randomly hanging). The toilet area was awful, having to squeeze past an open window covered in dust and a very untidy cleaning area. This place was such a disappointment. We were so looking forward to an epic breakfast but instead left feeling rather ill. The one good part was the two female staff who were friendly and welcoming. This place could be exceptional but failed miserably to hit the mark.

Such a lovely cafe with the most wonderful friendly staff, we order the vegetarian breakfasts each time we visit which include a pot of tea and everything is always cooked perfectly. Can’t recommend enough and always look forward to our next visit.

easily one of the best fry up's I've ever had in a cafe. discovered by accident. a true greasy spoon without the pretentiousness of most 'gourmet' or 'bistro' style cafes you get these days.

By far the best breakfast in Bournemouth! Staff are friendly, cafe is themed and has character and food comes out quickly and delicious!

Good service. Beautiful café for breakfast! The Norwegian Wood cafe is a landmark of Bournemouth! Please visit and support!!

Lovely staff, good food, and amazing prices :) Always happy to return <3

Best breakfast in Bournemouth for sure! Staff are lovely.

Amazing cafe. Best place for a fry up , clean and staff are very helpful. Opposite a small carpark

Best place in Bournemouth to get breakfast. Greetings to Mark from the Germans… :-)

Love this cafe! Such a great atmosphere and service! Prices are cheap and food so tasty! Will definitley be visiting again

Fatty breakfast to recover after a night out! Unfortunately, I did not go out last night. Cheap sausage, tinned tomatoes. Friendly service.

This is a place you shouldn't miss when in Bournemouth, the best breakfast in town that never disappoints along with the most excellent services. We keep coming here over and over, love the atmosphere, great coffee and delicious food for all tastes.

Really good food very nice people working there

Two lovely Ladies working there, great breakfast and fast service for myself and a friend.

We loved the homi atmosphere and the marvelous owners who served us. The breakfast was fabolous!

Me and my boyfriend visit here most weekends not just for the food, but for the incredible, friendly service you receive here. Food is always on point, fast, hot and delicious - great value for money. Staff are so lovely and friendly, always happy and smiling. They are always accommodating and get you served quickly no matter how busy and swept of their feet they are. Very hard workers.

Nice quiet Cafe with some Beatles memorabilia but the Breakfast itself was a let down.

After reading some positive reviews I thought I'd try this place for Breakfast. For some unknown reason it was shut on the Wednesday so I popped back on the Thursday first thing. Decor of Beatles memorabilia was good but only local radio being played, would have been nice for a Beatles playlist on the go. When ordering I stated I didn't drink hot drinks and asked for a cup of juice instead. But when I got the bill I was charged for it anyway. The breakfast itself was the most disappointing one I've had in ages. The baked beans were awful, the bacon just about cooked and the sausage must have been cooked form frozen as it was pretty hard. Bread & butter came with it but toast would have been much better. A tiny part of the egg yolk was ok for dipping the bread. At least the tomato was ok. All in all I wont be returning here, don't believe those hyped up reviews.

After 20 years of not being in the town, this was our student go to breakfast spot. Was wonderful to still see it operational and still the same great standard as we remember. Simple food, freshly cooked at a great price. If you are visiting for the weekend and want either a breakfast, omelette or panini, this is the place to go! You won't be disappointed.

Went here for breakfast with my wife and young children,was very pleased we did. Great breakfast ,good portions and very good value for money .Service was superb very friendly staff and nice quirky ambience. Make the effort and visit this place you won't be disappointed.

Lovely little place. Friendly staff great food at a great price. Highly recommen ded

Lovely friendly service, went for breakfast good big portion size and great value. Highly recommend.

Staff very friendly and food very nice

I found this coffee shop on my way to the centre. As a fan of the Beatles, I recognized the title of the song "Norwegian wood", and I was curious to see whether this place had this name by chance. I absolutely loved the decoration, full of Beatles paintings and the music was great. The food and coffee were delicious, and the prices very reasonable. Favourite place in Bournemouth 🙂

Just had coffee and dessert, but it was nice! Its a nice cozy cafe and friendly host.

My girlfriend showed me this place just over a year ago, and now it’s become our most frequent and returned to cafe in Bournemouth. Excellent staff, excellent food and excellent price. 5/5 every time

always cracking food, staff are lovely, couldn’t really ask for more from your local cafe!

Delicious toasties! We also had the homemade tomato, basil and lentil soup and it was incredible!

Su h great memories of coming here with friends in the 1960's.

The best restaurant i ever seen in my life.. I ordered scrambled eggs it's was delicious 👍🏻 thank you Fatima

Me and my partner come here most weekends, staff are so lovely and welcoming. Food is always quick and 10/10! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a breakfast

Just popped in on the off chance to see if they sold take out which they do. Very friendly team working there and the coffee was excellent
