Reeves the Baker in North Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have been going on and off bakery very good i just love the cheese straws . Its always very clean , very helpful staff as i am deaf . 5 stars for reeves

Many a recent visit. Very friendly staff and always helpful.. The only issue is the queue can sometimes be out of sync, as people just won’t move up the counter when served, causing people to block the doorway.. So people then have to leap frog those already served etc….. Not the shops fault, just people without a care for others……. Shame there isn’t that little bit more internal seating. All in all I’m a fan!

After a below par visit to Costa and a walk round some of the shops on my stroller, a shopkeeper told me, I must go in to Reeves, they do amazing cheese straws. Well I spotted Reeves but with my stroller couldn’t get to the empty table but along came a lovely assistant who moved a table and got me through. Well yes the cheese straws were amazing but we also had a sandwich each and a lovely cuppa. Unlike costa this place was clean and tidy and the staff friendly polite and helpful

Appetising cakes. Savouries and bread as well. Friendly cheerful service. Just a few tables to sit at and look out onto market place. Obviously very popular. Delightful stop whilst shopping.

My sister and I ate in for lunch on a Monday and even though they were busy we received our food and drinks quickly. The sandwiches were delicious and the coffee excellent! We also bought cakes after to take away which were similarly fantastic.

Having moved from Emsworth Hants I am still trying to find same quality and price of pasties from a baker as I had done from Westbourne bakery.I thought of trying Reeves as they looked the same and ordered two, I couldn't see the price clearly as it was low down and tiny but was shocked to find that the final amount was £6.50. I still thought I would give them a go as they must be good-I thought!!They were sloppy and mostly pastry Yuk!Last time I got same from Westbourne a couple of years ago they were only £1.09 so I expect they have gone up a little. How Reeves have got the audacity to sell this rubbish at that price, words fail me.

Visited reeve the bakers at Blandford forum whilst on holiday and was shocked and disappointed at the service received there. Was totally blanked by the staff and it was only thanks to the gent behind me in the queue who pointed out that I was first,that I was served at all. I have no idea why as I was civil at all times,which is more than can be said of staff. I am from Wales and I certainly hope that my accent didn't influence the staff there,but something certainly did. I have awarded one star because we ate the food that was served,will definitely never visit again.

My partner does respite care at the weekends and we visited the shop on Sunday together. It's worth noting one member of our group has additional needs. We arrived at a fairly quiet time and there was no one else queuing or waiting to be served. We allowed ourselves some time to look at the sandwiches and food. This gave sufficient processing and decision making time for our friend with additional needs. I looked up at one point (we had been there for about 2-3 minutes at most) and all three members of staff were stood at the till looking at us. As I looked up a member of staff asked if we needed anything. I replied by nodding, saying 'yes' and turned my head to see if everyone else in my group was ready. I heard a member of staff very snarkily say to their colleague "for the third time...".I turned my head and looked at them very confused by the way we had just been spoken about. I am sure they were aware that I had just heard them as two other members of staff moved away and one served us.I decided against calling it out and making a fuss at the time as I didn't feel our group member with additional needs would cope well with leaving and choosing another place to eat since he had already chosen his meal.I felt very put out by the situation and would have been disgusted had the rest of my group heard this. How rediculous that staff working in a public environment have little consideration for people that visit their establishments that may take a little longer than expected to choose and order. I did not catch the name of the staff member who made the rude comment but it was an older lady with short hair and glasses. I can confidently say I will not be returning Reeves any time soon.

Popped in for two small lattes and a small sausage roll. First "server" unable to understand order necessitating raising voice to request. Second server decided this was "being sharp".Eventually managed to get someone to understand but before we were served we noted price as bring in access of 9 pounds!When this was questioned we were told that "if you come down here you must expect to pay these prices". We pointed out that we came from London and travelling the length of the UK motorway network we have never paid that ever!The reasoning was that we were ,"eating in". This was two cardboard cups not finest China sat on the pavement seating area.Needless to say the coffees and the sausage roll are still there. We eventually got a snack at M&S for much less.Be aware that Blandford Forum is closed on Sunday and the odd shop that is open want to rob you!HR ake your money elsewhere.

Great to be back in Winchester and the bakers is just as good if not better. The service was excellent and also the selection of products

Fantastic bakery in Shaftesbury, Dorset, the best stollen I've ever tasted and wonderful artisan bread plus really good quiche, cakes etc. Called in and the place was packed with people awaiting takeways obviously local lunchtime workers - a good advert. So good intend to re-visit before too long. Extremely friendly staff and good service too.This particular branch is just a bakery and not a cafe as well.

If you want a quick bite to eat. This is the place for you.You have to try the pasties! They are fantastic. Always just right. Friendly staff too.

An excellent bakery. Great bread and delicious cakes. Sadly the coffee didn't keep up with the high standard set by the cakes and pastries.

We were passing through and found this bakery. There was a good selection of breads and cakes. The staff and service was good.

Visited recently for a quick bite to eat. Bottle of water cost £1.90! Had the Worst sausage roll taste like paste with no flavour. Better off going to Greggs for cheaper and better tasting pastries etc....

Stood at counter waiting to be served then carried on to serve two customers who arrived after me ! Shocking customer service

Excellent bakery offering a cafe service that is clean, fresh and consistently good. Staff are really helpful even making what you want on the spot if they have run out. A wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by with good coffee and tasty food.

Nothing special, but a very pleasant place to sit outside with the dog and enjoy a jacket potato (me) and cheese on toast (him). However, the wild garlic and emmental sourdough loaf which we bought to take a way was SUPERB! Top tip - if you sit outside you can pick up the wifi from Lloyds bank opposite.

Always visit Reeves when I'm about and yesterday it was just a coffee but bought a cake to take home. When I'm there longer I have a coffee and their sourdough toastie. Blandford are so lucky to have a 'quality' baker like Reeves. Always a joy to eat there, inside or outside at their tables facing the sun. Thank you.

Level is better than most chains. A Greggs for those with taste buds? Subway round the corner is empty. But not quite the level of a good independent artisan Baker so 4* not five. Counter staff and service not split in this branch as in some others so a bit chaotic when we were there.

Busy town centre bakers and coffee shop. Excellent coffee, and splendid sourdough. Sandwiches and cakes looked very enticing.

Called in for tea and cake late afternoon on a Tuesday and the place was really busy.

Can’t fault there, pasties, rolls, bread and cakes, all taste good. The service is very quick always enough staff. I make a special trip to get my bread etc there as I can reply on it being fresh and tasty.

We had coffees and a cinnamon swirl which we could not bite through. We asked for knife but still had trouble. We wrestled with the said item for 5 minutes until the table and floor were covered in bits of icing and pastry flakes.

We have popped into Reeves many times on our visits to Blandford. However the last couple of times there have been no jacket potatoes available, despite being only around 12.30 The staff lately seem very sloppy and the whole place has gone down in our estimation. Not sure we will bother again.

Popular stop for tea, coffee and more substantial snacks, frequented mainly by locals. As a traditional baker we would recommend the sourdough farmhouse loaf, lardy cake and raspberry and almond tart.

Reeves has scored an own goal. Increased its in-store coffee and croissant price from £2.50 to £3.89! A 55.6% price hike, apparently because of VAT. I thought VAT was 20% Reconsider Reeves or loose your regular custom.

A lovely bakery serving fresh cakes and hot snacks with excellent coffee,right in the marketplace of Blandford Forum

I use this place to meet friends and have coffee, pleasant and comfortable, lovely coffee and tea. I also buy the baguettes which we like.

Bought tea for 2 and a breakfast roll £4.70 approx) which was two sausages on a roll, one croissant nearly £9.00,! Toilets were smelly and not welcoming, door and handles not clean.. not impressed . Nice staff but not worth the money, when you can get a better deal elsewhere. Onlynstopped as passing through .

Reeves supplied a lovely picnic for my hen do. It was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, and delivered to our door! I would highly recommend them.

Stopped for a quick bite. All the food looked delicious. Magnificent pasty, flapjack and latte. Yum!

Blandford forum is a quaint old Georgian town on the banks of the river Stour well worth a look round. We were in need of some lunch and found the Reeves Cafe Come Bakery Pleasant staff nice food and not at all expensive

Lovely little bread and cake shop where you can eat in or take away,great choice of cakes and pastries including hot drinks

This is a real bakery with quality bread and cakes. I particularly like the sourdough. Not cheap but you have to pay for quality.

Nice coffee and tea, it is nice to sit by the window because the seats are more comfortable. always a lovely smell of the pastries.

My husband and I popped in for a light lunch and were not disappointed. He enjoyed his coffee, and I enjoyed my tea (though the teapot spilled a little in pouring). His lardy cake was simply huge and he said it was delicious. I had a cheese and bacon puff pastry, which was also a large portion, though wasn't provided any napkins for the inevitable grease! The iced bun I had was a delight. Service was reasonably quick, and the seating is comfortable. We'll definitely return, even if just for take-out!

Consistently great food and wonderful coffee too. Enjoyed a breakfast here sitting in for the first time - good atmosphere.

Arrived after a very early trip to Stonehenge where we were soaked by rain showers, so looking forward to getting warmed through. Seated upstairs at a single table for 6 which made things easier. Drinks were quickly provided and our food orders all arrived together. Our meals were enjoyable and we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves.

Nice range of breads and ready made foods, good service but compared to other places the bread (Which is all I bought) is a bit pricey. I tend to prefer sourdough which I know costs more but it was dear considering this is a chain albeit a small one.

A nice friendly place to have coffee and fresh pastries, also with it being a bakers you can purchase items to home for later

My Daughter & I were shopping in Salisbury through we would goto Reeves for lunch for a change as It was quite busy had to wait to get a table when we got seated we still had to wait which was fine as we could appreciate they were. Busy we place our order when are food came I. Had order a quiche & salad the salad was just mainly little bites of cuecumber &onion; Hardley any lettuce very disappointing my daughter had a chee onion toasting which came with a small side salad coleslaw was extra that was not very good service was very slow would not go back had been there before but this time found. It had really gone down. Hill

Quite good range of foods lovely cheese straws!! Not much in there for my mum who has dairy and egg allergies. No soya milk available. So good and bad points. Quick service. Certainly not a local cafe feel in there. Good for takeaway.

Qué lugar tan encantador. Mi en las leyes viven en Blandford y parada aquí cada día. Mi suegro solo tiene que aparecer fuera y a pocos minutos hay un café para él y un queso de paja para el perro. Me encanta este lugar como hacer que cuando nos visite. A mi hijo le encanta la rollitos de salchicha. Bien hecho

La comida bien poco caro, mi ensalada era preparada con mi sándwich sentado en cosas lavavajillas e al lado de un spray químico y platos sucios no genial. Sólo un inodoro suficiente es grande, así que es genial para un cliente discapacitado sin embargo las bisagras de la tapa del inodoro tenía restos en la zona asqueroso pan sucio en la mayoría se vuelve un polvo pero no regularmente. Como fui de los aseos para clasificar a comer mesas vi izquierda sucia para edades cuando finalmente aclararon que no limpie y luego por completo cubierto de migas. Si quieres comida para llevar que me gustaría parar. Tienen una calificación de 5, pero la higiene si visitamos hoy me pregunto de que cayó. Es una pena realmente, ya que teníamos ganas de esta visita.

A menudo pop en un café y tarta. Es básicamente un panaderos con una zona de cafetería. Normalmente se pueden conseguir un asiento en aquí, pero puede ser especialmente concurrido jueves aunque debido a que es día de mercado. El hacer una buena variedad de pasteles y panes panecillos llenos. También hacer panes artesanales, aunque tienden a ser caros de £3. 00 Un pan.

Popular entre los lugareños como un lugar ideal para un té o café rápido basado en el mercado. Asientos básico pero adecuado. Ideal si sólo quieres un café rápido y una tarta o un bocadillo. Pasteles siempre están frescas y sándwiches son bien llenos. normalmente están ocupados, especialmente los días de mercado.

Tuvimos una deliciosa ensalada de atún y roll además de café blanco cada una, hoy aquí. Personal encantador que señalaron el té para 2 oferta a £9. 95 nos pareció demasiado para comer, pero ojalá hubiéramos llevado a la oferta y lo haremos en nuestra próxima visita. Recomendaría a todo el mundo a visitar. Maravillosa selección de deliciosas tartas, pan y mucho más.

Cada domingo nos prueba y tome un paseo en bicicleta, en nuestra 50 todo engrasado uo, en nuestro equipo de slim, con racor lleves nuestras condiciones cardíacas. Algunos requieren de caf y algunos no! Tenemos otros pero nos llegan triied en Reeves, apoye nuestras bicicletas en la ventana y escriba ese meca que trabajamos para un café decente y bollos! Olvide las condiciones de corazón, hemos tenido un trabajo y nos merecemos barbaridad de pasta fondant y rellenos chocy. Niños pequeños que nos convertimos en una pastelería. El personal bastante razón ven y lo 'Oh mi palabra por favor ehen llego a esa edad le permite ser un poco más digno, por favor - le permite envejecer graciosamente 'bien no permite preocuparse en todos nosotros. Reeves ofrece una gran café, bollos de gran y personal agradable. No me puedo quejar. Marcas comida y Hall spencer cerca, pero simplemente no puedo mejor Reeves.

The cheese straws are delicious, my husband rates the Jam Donuts as the best ever, the sandwiches and rolls are delicious

Have visited Reeves in Blandford quite a few times. The young guy working there who I believe is Connor is very friendly and helpful. When we sat in the cafe having food and drinks it was so nice that Connor brought over the coffees to the table. So lovely to have a bit of personal service. The sandwiches are always yummy and I particularly like the old fashioned currant buns and Eccles cakes....love this bakery and will return again very soon..X

Cold, this is not the sort of establishment I would expect from a lovely hamlet like Blandford. The staff are cold and so is the hot food!!!

Flagging, arrived to friendly welcome and coffee with a kick - nice buzzy eating area within a high street bakery. Comfy chairs and great ambience.

Nothing better with a breakfast coffee or tea. If there at lunchtime a good range of sandwiches and rolls.

This is a lovely bakery and café. Nice staff. Exceptionally clean and well run. All their food offerings are very nice. Will definitely visit again.

I like in Blandford & Occasionally use reeves, It has a great location in the town centre but it ends there. The old fashioned selection Of cakes are small & ridiculously over priced, This café / Bake shop has No completion. & trades on the lack of it.There is a Morrison near by but it has a rubbish bakery, A Tesco { Little bit better } is a couple of miles away , So reeves survives on the fact that there is no real competition,I have even written to Greggs to ask them to consider putting an outlet here in Blandford!.... No Joy!...Shame coz with a little work & a bit of realistic re pricing it could be so much better. I consider it as somewhat of a rip off in its present form....

Always buy my take away cakes from here yummy and big! Always very good service, clean and welcoming .

A useful bakers with a range of breads and cakes. Also has a small cafe. The main problem is that the staff is always changing so you never know who your talking to. Not a good idea for a small town.I try to order my bread every week but it's not always there.

Superb range of cakes breads snacks etc. Staff always friendly. Not too expensive. They will take orders.

This is by far the best bakers I know, not least because they have the imagination to add tomatoes into the cheese and bacon turnover. That adds a bit of moisture and a nice tang. The bacon is well cooked and they are always tasting fresh and hit.Their cheese straws are also hot and very flavoursome.For the sweet tooth, very sweet tooth, the Lemon tart will give you a real hit...And that is just the start...the selection will take you a long time to work through!Why do so many bakers fail so spectacularly with heavy, dull, tasteless food when Reeves get it so right.Add that to pretty good service even when it is busy, and it justifies its place I divert to visit, in Salisbury, Romsey and Ringwood.If you haven't, you need to!

Visited again this Sunday for bacon rolls and coffee and sat outside. The coffee is really good and they put 3 pieces of bacon in a roll..very yummy!..I absolutely love this bakery as Emma and Sam are such lovely assistants. Nothing is too much trouble. They are attentive and very helpful. The cake selection is amazing especially the lemon curd Swiss roll. We bought some cheese straws to take home together with their amazing cheese and marmite bread. In fact this is the best Reeve bakery around and is worth a drive from Bournemouth anytime....Keep up the good work you lovely people at Reeve bakery in Shaftesbury..x

Reeves is a traditional master bakers with an up-to-date twist. The bread is of exceptional quality and the sit-in area is very welcoming. Great prices too.

Hi. Driving by on a Sunday afternoon looking for somewhere to have a cup of tea when we saw this bakers was open . We stopped and had a lovely cup of tea and the best eccles cake I've eaten in years. Staff were so friendly and helpful.There is also an outdoor space if the weather is good enough.Worth a drop in if you're passing.

I had a day off so I decided to pop into blandford fourm with my wife and pop into this small bakery to have a quick drink and a slice of cake the staff were pleased to have our company nothing was too much trouble the home made cakes looked so good would most definitely worth another trip back

as i am a constant weight watcher when we come to blandford forum for a holiday all i think about on the journey there is the cakes from this bakers especially the chocolate topped custard doughnuts, they are to die for, yum yum, this is not a cheap bakers but at the end of the day you pay for what you get, so spending a little extra for these yummy cakes is worth it.

Recommended by a friend. Wonderful Reeves the Baker in Ringwood en route to Bournemouth for 2 day break.Entered Ringwood 14 April, little sleepy town during the week with a lovely old fashioned high street. Big car park.Past the car park, head to shopping centre, then turn right at the high street to Reeves the Baker.We had hot (baked on the premises) Wiltshire Pasties with mince veg and beef together to a smooth feeling (my favourite) and a leek ham in flaky french pastry (for my wife) and coffee and tea in the cosy place at the back of the shop (about 9 tables). Some freshly baked cheese straws to take with us to the hotel. Tasted really home made, and not thirsty after eating as not heavy on salt.Two days passed and on the way back to London on Saturday we planned lunch in Reeves this time very busy town busy with shoppers.You had to order quickly as the hot pasties display was getting smaller by the minute as two counters (take away counter and eat in) were serving at the same time two long queues .They did Tea for Two with finger sandwiches on their own baked bread but we chose leek and potato soup, beef pasty, ham and mushroom pasty.At the same time we bought our take away for London - Beef pasties, mushroom and chicken (filling reminded me of chicken supreme - popular dish in 70s) and cheese and onion (good but least favourite).Sorry shoppers it was us who cleared the hot display of pies and cheese straws from the window at lunchtime on Saturday!

Great place to pick up some fresh sandwiches, cookies or a bacon bap.They start to run out of things after lunch, so get in early for the tasty things,.

Nice atmosphere and selection. Staff bit abrupt on our visit. Food was of good quality but expensive given its a ca k e shop.Nevertheless would visit again.

You know when your a tad hungry in town but don't fancy a pub lunch or your normal fast food, sand which bar, or pizza.This is the place to go. There is a small snag! There is far too much to choose from, you could eat yourself silly.The chap on the till was clearly on his first day but had done his homework. He knew the different filling and different breads you could have, was very attentive and very polite. We had to find the manager and tell him as we were so impressed.The food is lovely. When you go into salisbury from Somerset you go past what I think is their main bakery, they should open it for visits as I bet they make so many items per hour there. The smell inside would make your mouth water.Fresh bread, lots of filling, crisp pastry on the pasties, local pasties, great choice of seating.Reminded me of 30 years ago as an apprentice and the pay day trips to the bakery. Great memories.Thank you all.

As a baker for over 40 years I can thoroughly recommend the bread on sale here. Also the Dorset Apple cake.

Lovely food decent prices go there quite often. My kids love it as well. Not normally a lover of sausage rolls but theirs r gorgeous.

Quality and Service excelled, Try a 'Tea/Coffee for two'. The coffee tasted like coffee, the sandwiches and cakes were freshly produced on the premises. Part of a Bakery!

Visited for coffee in the morning every table had dirty dishes on them. All the staff were stood behind the counter talking, had to wait for them to finish personal conversation before they eventually served me. I then had to clear a table so I sound sit and have my coffee. I was there for 15 minutes and the tables were still not cleared when I left. Obviously customers are an inconvenience for this cafe. There is no way I will return.

Expensive bread and cake but all very tasty. Had a coffee in the cafe but not very good. Mince pies are fabulous and can't wait until the season when they start making them again especially the mini ones.

We followed the lovely smell of fresh baking to this bakery cafe in Blandford's main square. We bought fresh rolls for our lunch but were also tempted by the fresh coffee and apple pies in the cafe for breakfast. The pastry was delicious - it melted in the mouth and the coffee was fresh and piping hot. Thank you to the manager and her busy team.

Me and my 5 year old daughter loves this bakery. Cheese straws are yummy. My daughter enjoys the gingerbread biscuits. Personal choice is the chicken and leek pasty!! Devine

If you are in need of a sit down or even if you are too busy and need a quick snack on the go, Reeves is a fab place for a pastry, sandwich, soup. jacket potato or even a take-away cuppa! It has a deal on selected cake and hot drink too if you are stopping for a rest. I am local so maybe a bit biased, but I always find the staff to be very friendly. It can get quite busy especially on a market day so sometimes there are trays on tables that need clearing but this is done as quick as possible when seating is needed. All in all, a lovely welcoming place with yummy food.

We wanted a few items for a picnic whilst out for the day and were recommended to try Reeves. We had the cheese straws, sour dough rolls and a large swiss roll. They were all amazing, but the Swiss roll was something else! The best I've ever had - and I've had a few! If we'd been staying in Blandford Forum for the whole day we would have had a coffee and cake or maybe a sandwich in the seating area - it looked great. Maybe next time!

If you're looking to satisfy a pastry craving or a fresh sandwich snack do NOT go past Reeves. I had a brilliant fresh baguette with local Wiltshire ham, and a sneaky sausage roll too. Quick service, no fuss, and just delicious. Nice to see an independent bakery shining amid so many chain stores.

Can't say I'm a fan of this bakery, the staff will continue their conversations before serving you and can be quite rude. The tables and floor are always dirty and the continually serve milk for teas in a takeaway cup, many times I also haven't even been given a saucer. Also the food is over priced, you'd be better off in one of the other local cafes in the town.

In an area in which value for money seems hard to come by, the presence of this eatery on the main street is particularly welcome. On the day we visited, the caffetiera had broken down, so I made do with an Americano rather than a cappucino; but it was very good, and the baked goods with which it was served -- a spinach pasty, a piece of cake -- were tasty and very reasonably priced. The staff were alert and friendly and related well to their clientele — something one might not expect from a chain establishment

We were cycling through and wanted somewhere we could sit down for a quick lunch. We found Reeve by accident and as it was sunny, took advantage of the outside seats. We were served quickly once we made our minds up on what sandwiches we wanted - a good choice when we arrived. The two we ate were very good. Eat in prices were reasonable. Two cups of tea later we were ready to leave. Toilets were clean.

A super bakery around. Good choice of bread, rolls and cakes. Speciality bread always available. A welcome little coffee shop set to one side.

Have not long been in to the shop and I feel my experience deserves to be shared. I walked into a rather busy looking shop but straight away I noticed the fun and customer focused atmosphere. I was served rather promptly and politely. The staff were very friendly. The food itself was fantastic. Having the choice to have my fresh panini toasted made it even tastier. I will definitely be returning again in the future.

The food is fantastic!! Really tasty definitely recommend the Wiltshire pasties and cheese straws, everything is baked fresh, you are hit with a wall of amazing smells as soon as you get near the door!And the staff are amazing bend over backwards to help you, Tanya and Sarah are the best servers I have ever had the privilege of getting served by, always very welcoming always massive smiles great place to visit!! Overall rating 5*******

Monday 4th 14.00pm. Straight to the point. Flies crawling all over the uncovered cakes and pastries. We then sat at a table by the window where you could see all around the entire floor area crumbs and spilt drink. All the table surfaces had not been wiped clean. Then asked for someone in charge. There was no one! I complained about the poor standards and got no apology but to my shock a level of backchat that was impertinent to say the least. I cannot believe that there is a level 5 award on this place. To cap it all there is a vacancy for a cleaner notice on window! Shocking! Need's Gordon Ramsay to kick some butts!

always busy and normally there is a que which I means the food is good ! I generally purchase bread here but I can recommend the lardy cake

quick service and the coffee was good also the cake was nice and fresh. environment was good and clean.

For a budget stop and a nice view of the High Street and lovely friendly ladies, an excellent choice in Blandford. Fresh Chelsea Bun and tea was less that three pounds, and a window seat in the sunshine. Very good.

I often pop into Reeves when I am working in town. They always have a tantalising selection on breads and pastries on offer. The service is always good and very rarely have to wait long to be served. Definitely worth popping in for a nice lunch

The bread here is good, the hot food (like pasties) very good and the cakes are also very good.I've always found the staff pleasant although you can wait some time for order-in food.There is a fair selection of sandwiches, cold drinks and some salads. Gluten Free options are a bit limited.It can get very busy at lunchtimes.

Such a great choice of goodies, sit and enjoy a drink and one of their yummy cakes or pastries. Could spend my holiday in there.A must for all visitors to Blandford.

Lovely little tea room bit but unfortunately the veggie options are lacking. Was wanting a root vegetable pasty they used to do but have stopped making them. Apparently other people have said they miss these pasties but Reeves haven't listened. They do spinach and ricotta ones, but this is an English bakers and I wanted an English pasty.

it is a lovely bakers the sour dough and mexican tear share are to die for and the staff are very polite and courteous,the coffe is the best in town it is lovely to sit in the window seats watching the world go by

I regularly go here to get my lunch when I'm at work in blandford. The bread is always fresh and a lovely choice of fillings in different types of bread and rolls. The donoughts are a lovely treat the apple ones being my favourite!!!

This cafe has prime place overlooking lovely Georgian market place but is really dull with rather old fashioned cakes etc. - aren't the days of Chelsea buns gone? Staff show no enthusiasm or knowledge, could be so much better. Need to make far more effort by providing quality products and beverages although there are some nice types of bread for sale. Tables just get piled up with used crockery and the chairs and tables are cheap, nasty and uncomfortable, crammed far to close. Yuck!

My mum and I came here for an afternoon break and had two coffees and a chocolate shortbread (for £6!) which we thought was slightly pricey, but it all tasted good.The cafe itself was unclean, lots breadcrumbs, sugar bits over the floor and tables.The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was simple - but nice. There was a huge amount of fresh bread, pasteries and doughnuts etc and they also had some soft drinks.

Blindfolded has a number of options but this is clearly the best option. Lovely fresh bread that is not expensive.

Always pop in here for a take away sausage roll or some cheese straws and am never disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious.

We called in to break a journey and enjoyed two lattes. Unfortunately I discovered later when I got home to Stafford that I had lost my glasses. I rang Reeves and they confirmed that they had a pair of glasses left behind, and then took my address and very kindly packed them in a stronger glass case and a Jiffy bag and sent them in the post, without any complaint. I call that excellent service!David Dominy
