Originally just popping in for a cuppa, but the bacon smell was too tempting, had a small breakfast, it was very nice and the mushrooms were lovely. Nice bright and clean establishment. Friendly Staff.

Food was terrible. Straight from Iceland to the fryer. Waitress was very rude making comments about my son. Manager didn't want to know. Absolutely fuming about the whole experience. AVOID AVOID AVOID

I had a bite to eat and a drink in Poppins today while I waited for my bus. I was greeted by a proper hand sanitiser station that actually had sanitiser available (so many are empty these days) and a really friendly waitress. Throughout, the restaurant was spotlessly clean and there were good covid protocols in place. As each diner left, one of the waitresses would properly clean the tables. I'm a cleaner myself and, in this restaurant, even the corners on the floor were absolutely spotless - how it should be. I had a cheese burger and chips with a fizzy drink, which was good and it was also excellent value for money. Will be going there again when I am next in Dorchester.

Popped in for a light lunch for two, dessert and coffees. Expected to have cheese on toast, but the comprehensive menu tempted us with cheese omelette and chips, coffees followed by apple tart with custard, All food prepared quickly and arrived on the table hot, surroundings clean, light airy and spacious. I personally find it bizarre that many restaurants do not offer simple cheese on toast (they do here) and although not offered or supplied when I return I was offered that if I supply Worcestershire sauce or danish blue they will be happy to add to cheese on toast. We were very impressed by everything, food quality, service and cleanliness… including toilets. I am registered blind and found the access to table and chairs particularly easy and it had very good lighting including natural light. Very highly recommended, I hope this establishment goes from strength to strength.

Not Vegan friendly but told yes by server. Only has 2 fryers Sausages are fried in one Which fryer has fish🤔 So fries and hash browns are cooked in what ??🤔 allergy to fish or sausage but only order chips how will the customer be aware? Blow torch used on eggs 🤔 You can see as you pass cooking station on way to toilets. They need a sign saying not Vegan friendly and server never asked if any allergies. Are staff trained to be able to answer questions in relation to Vegan, Seagans and Pescetarians for example. Obviously not. Food very bland. Sausages poor quality No fresh cakes to have with coffee or tea which is a disappointment Lovely clean cafe/restaurant but my opinion it lacks of vision. Half empty but could be buzzing. Is it a cafe or a restaurant as it feels a bit of both rather than one identity.

Good friendly service from new waitress then had to wait 15 minutes for basic breakfast of egg, 1 poor quality sausage, 1 bacon, half tomato, beans and 1 round of toast plus pot of tea. Asked for another 2 rounds of toast and served 4 slices! When I went to counter and paid £10.40, yes that is correct! I was told one round of toast was 2 slices in there by an offish female. I would not visit again and know there are plenty of eateries around offering better service and much better food.

Lovely little restaurant, perfect for breakfast - especially with the family. Service is brilliant too. My daughter loves the pancakes.

We arrived at Dorchester wanting to get a few bits for our camping trip, we decided to have breakfast, we walked through the high street and came across Poppins, we looked at the window menu and then through the window it was spotless, we went and sat in the seats that are like an American diner, very comfy. I ordered the vegetarian and hubby had mega breakfast, it was all cooked fresh on the open kitchen, i had a veggie Pattie with my breakfast which was delicious, hubby’s looked fantastic, he was very happy and stuffed!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant 😊

I dont know what the quick bite review was complaining about as it is clear fish is fried and with chips as stated on menu. I had the fish and it was lovely and not dried out. Food was very hot, peas good quality. Service brilliant and prices good. Restaurant is decorated well and very clean. Will highly recommended to others.

Very clean and quick friendly service. Good value light lunch and generous pots of tea were just what we needed. You get the price of your car park ticket back too as a bonus.

Popped in here last wee for a quick midday lunch. Would not really recommend. It was clean and staff were pleasant but the food was pretty dire. I hade the fish and chips. Fish was a cheap Iceland type frozen thing deep fried - Yuk...

Walked into the cafe and took a seat as no signs or people around to say otherwise. Upon sitting down we were approached and told that we should have waited to be seated very rudely and rather aggressively. It would be ok to say that if they had a sign saying so on the entrance we came in which they didn’t. The way they said this got my back up instantly and if not for having a young child I would have used a few choice words. The order was taken incorrectly so we had to make sure at the end we had been charged correctly. The food and drinks are nice but we just didn’t have a good experience with the service.

I regularly visit here. Always friendly, kind and helpful staff, that go the extra mile to make my visit nice. They always welcome my dogs (often giving them a treat or 2). Can highly recommend 😊

Whilst the food and service was good it was overshadowed by the thundering banging of a child running in what I can imagine is a corridor upstairs right over the tables other guests on neighbouring tables also commented on the noise.
