Tangerine Cafe and Gallery in West Dorset

Great tasty late afternoon breakfast and toasted scones. Friendly service and ambience. The cafe is a family run business and is located off the main square in Beauminster so could easily be missed. It was a Monday and most of the cafes were closed and the few that were open had only cold food so it was great to find somewhere serving warm food. Look for the orange sign on the square or outside the cafe. The cafe has artwork and crafts on display as well as books and is light and bright.

Highly recommend this lovely cafe. Visited on our way home from the coast and was pleasantly surprised by the very pretty garden. Stopped for coffee and cake which was exceptionally good. The service and hospitality very good. Hope to return next time in the area.

If you’re in the area then this is a must visit cafe. The food is superb, the surroundings (both inside and outside in their ornate gardens) quite marvellous, and the service second to none. I visited with my family a few days ago and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks so much to the proprietors and staff.

Not being familiar with venues in Beaminster, I brought friends to this cafe solely on the recommendations on the internet. Unfortunately, although the food was acceptable, the service was extremely slow, and I mean very extremely. It was almost as if we were being ignored. I could understand this if the cafe had been very busy, but there were only three other tables occupied when we arrived. When asking for the bill we were told quite brusquely to go to the front counter as if we should have known already that this was the practice. I don’t think I will be returning here any time soon.

Hidden gem , cycled past it on our 20 mile cycle came back for a second look and stopped for lunch. don’t worry if your cycling you can take your bikes around the back garden . they open the gates for you , it’s so pretty we will definatly return. the food was exceptional and the owners lovely . 10/10 thank you so much for making us so welcome .

What a beautiful and relaxing garden to sit in and enjoy a tasty lunch. Friendly staff too! Thank you

The staff was accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious, great selectionbl and good size portions

Have been here a few times - lovely restaurant with a very cosy and relaxing atmosphere.. Really friendly staff and great food with lots of options for vegetarians/vegans/gluten allergies.... The cakes are amazing!

Think we went on bad, I mean very bad day. It was clean and airy. Food virtually inedible. Toasted cheese and Tomato sandwich burnt. Mine came out 10 minutes later, panini was very greasy. We both left more than half.

4 of us were so well looked after with a selection of cakes and teas for a special occasion. Sitting in the Orangery was so lovely, a very welcoming space.

Visited Tangerine on a first trip to Beaminster. Very friendly welcome on a hot day. Asked for an iced tea, and though it wasn't on the menu, the server said she would "see what (she) could do". A few minutes later a freshly made iced tea was delivered and very refreshing.

Popped in for a quick lunch - yum ! French toast, crispy bacon and maple syrup x would definitely recommend if you are in Beaminster x

Just a gorgeous cafe in beautiful spot. Home made delicious food and wonderful home baked cakes all served in beautiful garden complete with outdoor games for the kids. Lots of cosy rooms indoors for rainy days too and a lovely couple who own and run it - with a big open country kitchen where you can see food being made from scratch. Highly recommend!

Visited twice on a trip to Bridport. Wonderful freshly cooked lunches and delicious teas. Can recommend the harissa bubble and squeak. Orange and almond cake, Victoria sponge and homemade salted caramel ice cream; amazing!

Love this little place for lunch. Fresh and tasty food.. the best cakes! Kids and husband both love! Wonderful homemade cakes too.

Have often stopped here for coffee and cake when out cycling with friends and it is always excellent, from the welcome we receive to the great coffee and delicious home made cakes on offer. When the weather is fine there is a delightful garden to...

Really liked this cafe. It wasn’t just the delicious food and coffee, it was the warm and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Very tasty lunch in cosy atmosphere. A truly original place with a wealth of cultural activities going on plus some very good food. A must visit.

We had lunch at the Tangerine Cafe. There were a couple of things we really liked. First, the menu choices were very unusual. One of us had their take on bubble and squeak with harissa which was freshly put together and took a while. Others...

Lovely cafe with options for gluten free and vegan. Dogs are also welcome and there are plenty of places to sit! The food we had was home made and was delicious, couldn’t fault it and we would definitely return if we are in the area...

Visited this lovely cafe on a recent holiday in Dorset. Sue and Chris, the owners, are very much hands on and make you feel very welcome. They were very generous with their knowledge of the surrounding area. We had a light lunch which was delicious;...

Returned to the Tangerine Cafe after a year and it felt like visiting old friends. Chris & Sue were as welcoming as ever and, remarkably, Sue even remembered what we ordered last year! This quirky cafe, which is made up from a number of distinct...

A friendly welcome from staff before being shown through to the peaceful garden where the dog was given a bowl of water and we were given menus and excellent service. We only wanted a quick pitstop after a lovely walk, and chose cheese scones with...

Such a lovely setting and menu too. The food fresh, tasty and was delicious (we all had different things). Friendly staff.

Lovely few days at Tangerine as always-such friendly relaxed surroundings and the breakfasts are fantastic. Fast becoming a real favourite of ours.

This was our first visit with my elderly parents and daughter. My mum has recently discovered she is lactose intolerant and so has struggled to find anywhere that offers a choice of mains and cakes. Our experience at the Tangerine Cafe today was perfect! They...

Excellent cafe, Highly recommended, the owners and staff were so helpful and flexible when we stopped off during a planned group bike ride recently. The cakes were delicious and there was a great choice including vegan options. The garden is so serene and beautiful. I've...

Cake was very tasty and the garden was beautiful and very relaxing to have a cuppa under the shade of a stunning tree on a warm day! Great staff also made us feel very welcome!

This was the most perfect place to stop on our bike tour. We were recommended by a cyclist we had met that day, and Chris & Sue & their staff couldn’t have been friendly. Whilst they let us charge our electric bike batteries ( almost...

A Lovely evening with a great authentic food. Staff are friendly and helpful. BYO and excellent value for money. Looking forward tothe next themed evening in two weeks time .

Usually difficult to find delicious (or any) vegan, gluten free food, especially on a Sunday afternoon. This was the welcome exception. We sat in lovely outdoor space while they rustled up our delicious meals, cooked to order with friendly service. Great value and definitely recommended.

What a lovely find! Chris & Sue the owners are lovely and the fabulous food is all home made & delicious. They have a wonderful garden with plenty of shade! Well worth a visit

Lovely home made cakes & food. Chris, Sue & Unsung Hero Kellie make you feel at home. Wonderful garden. Best place for coffee in Beaminster & Bridport!

Omg the food was made with love and tasted amazing, the services was so friendly and welcoming... Sat in the garden and enjoyed a chat with my hubby and sue the owner..

Such a warm welcome in a town where every other cafe, restaurant and pub was closed. The service, food and setting were all brilliant. Loved our lunch in the garden. Sunday was saved by Tsngerine Cafe. Thank you.

Visited the Tangerine Cafe yesterday for the first time on our way down to West Bay (a short hop). The cafe is a perfect haven of calm with a cosy coffee shop, light and quiet orangery and a beautiful tea garden. The food is varied,...

The Tangerine café is lovely. We only had a pot of tea because were already full of cake, but the cakes looked good. There was a wide range of different teas to choose from. The owners have made a real effort with the garden which...

What an amazing coffee shop, located off the main high street in Beaminster - down a side road. Staff were brilliant, whatever we requested they were happy to do (we had the homemade soup with extra bread) - there is a wide range of hot...

Great coffee and home made cake, lovely service - very welcoming, friendly and efficient, and a delightful garden to sit in if the sun is shining as it was today. Lovely indoors too. Has become a favourite coffee stop for our cycling group.

Really lovely cafe, friendly staff, homemade dorset apple cake and fantastic coffer overlooing garden.

This is a lovely little cafe tucked away in a little side street. Lots of choice although we just had afternoon tea with freshly baked apple cake and lemon cake. It was a lovely afternoon so we sat in the garden which is just so...

We saw a sign to the Gallery in the market square in Beaminster and I popped down the road for a look as the pub we had intended to visit had just stopped food service. I am so glad we did find the Tangerine Gallery...

Very friendly welcome and great food, freshly prepared. Sat in the garden and enjoyed our food and drink before carrying onto the coast. Will definitely be visiting the cafe again next time we are in the area. Dogs are welcome, so a great place to...

Me and my family went here to celebrate my nans birthday and felt vary safe and the staff where very inviting. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants anything from a tea to a small meal.

Visited a couple days ago with my husband and returned this afternoon with friends. We had avocado with grilled tomato on a muffin and scones with great jam and cream............. just delicious. Were made very welcome. See you again very soon.

Had a great lunch here today. Food very tasty, lovely location and service superb. Will definitely be back!

With an extensive choice of locations to sit, including garden, orangery and snug; the delicious cakes available made a morning coffee visit a true delight. All the staff made you feel very welcome in the spotlessly clean cafe. A slice of Victoria Sponge tasted way beyond what you would normally expect! It was interesting to view the original pictures for sale, with prices as low as £40. Well worth visiting.

We stayed at the Tangerine Cafe for 2 nights whilst visiting family locally. The hosts are welcoming and friendly and the family room was clean and spacious. The freshly cooked breakfast was wonderful, especially the French toast and coffee. Excellent value for money, we shall no doubt be staying again. Thanking you for making us fell so welcome.

A beautiful find in the picturesque Beaminster. The world class service, cheery smiles and friendly manner simply add to the fantastic food. There is a reason so many of the locals were also enjoying the cafe and I'm extremely glad we stopped for brunch.When you do, try the French toast. You can thank me after.

Found this by chance down a side lane from the central square and open on a Sunday, Stopped by for a quick snack, ended up having freshly cooked scrambled egg with salmon on bagels. After chatting with owners, decided to stop and have a cake as well, but owner said she had just made fresh apple crumble from their tree in garden, served with clotted cream ! rude not too ! What a find, If your in the area check it out.

A gem of a cafe in a small town, made to feel very welcome by the owners and lovely staff member, the coffee is excellent and the tea is even better, the menu is superb, the setting is wonderful, the artwork and sculptures inside are amazing, and the outside seating area is like being in my Nans back garden, I can not fault this cafe at all, I will be returning many times

Tangerine Cafe is not only a great contemporary cafe but also offers a friendly and homely bed and breakfast. My wife and I had a wonderful 2 night stay at Tangerine Cafe using Beauminster as our base for a half day coastal walk and a full day’s cycling around the neighbouring villages and countryside.Sue and Chris were excellent hosts at Tangerine Cafe, looking after us wonderfully. We thoroughly recommend Tangerine Cafe - whether you want to pop in for a quick coffee and browse the gallery artwork, enjoy a tasty lunch or book in as B and B guests. We’ll be back!

Stayed Friday night, superb room, friendly staff, crackin breakfast, views over old tiwn Would use again no problem. Beaminster is a beautifully old town with amazing architecture, an unspoiled Dorset town well worth a visit.

Had coffee and delicious pastries here on the terrace today - a real sun trap. Staff welcoming and friendly. Do make the effort to walk down North Street (just off the Square) to this little gem!

A small but interesting menu; food excellent quality and reasonably priced. Bright, welcoming interior, and a gorgeous walled garden for warmer days!

Living in Beaminster it was great to see a bright, welcoming addition to the town. Tasty, reasonably priced food, good coffee and served by extremely friendly staff. Well done.

A friend and I went to Tangerine Cafe yesterday for afternoon tea. As it was a sunny day we were delighted to be shown into the walled garden where there were a variety of options for seating. We went for the summer house which is newly built - this enabled us to enjoy the peace and beauty of the garden whilst sheltering from the breeze. The owners are a delightful and very interesting couple and the tea and cake were first class. We will be back.
