Teabreaks in Purbeck

A good traditional cafe on the High Street. On street parking or use a car park further up the road. Not a big place & not many tables & can get busy. Food is good & what you expect from this sort of establishment for a competitive price.

Best breakfast in Swanage by a mile

Proper English breakfast and lovely service :)

One of the best fry ups I've ever had. The black pudding is something else! Everything on the plate cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back. 👍

My favourite place in Swanage for breakfast, consistently good with quality ingredients, black pudding is the best I’ve had anywhere. Whether your eating in or taking away the foods always hot and fresh. Great selection of pies sausage rolls etc too.

I regularly go with a special needs client, who John and his team have always made welcome and go out of their way to accommodate his needs. They are very reasonably priced and the meal deals are excellent. The sausages and bacon are of excellent quality and portion sizes are very good also. He has a good selection of pies etc

Enjoyed a tasty full English breakfast at Teabreaks.

Superb breakfast 👌 Great value and service

Always stop off here during our visits to Swanage Blues. Absolutely love the freshly cooked food. Breakfast today was amazing. As are the pasties and pies. Will be back next visit 😊 Alison and Leroy

Got a nice breakfast would have preferred it a bit hotter but good ingredients and cooked perfectly,not greasy ,Good friendly service and it's dog friendly

Quick pit stop for a decaf coffee (instant) & a millionaires shortbread. It was ok, but over £7! Mmmmmm

Absolute gem of a cafe. We Couldn't resist popping in after seeing the pie and mash ad. Lovely staff and the grub was amazing just like my old pie & mash growing up in east London. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks guys.

Called in today for a meal. The cafe is small With limited seating but if you can get a spot I'd reccomend a visit. Worth nothing they don't accept sit in unless you are eating which is fair enough. I had a breakfast baguette with others having breakfasts and pie & chips. All were high quality ingredients cooked well and great value.

Amazing breakfast, great quality ingredients all cooked from fresh. We visited here twice for our breakfast during our stay in Swanage. The staff are all friendly & helpful, this was evident when an elderly gentleman came in who must have been a regular. His drink was ready for when he sat down, along with the morning paper. Such a lovely thing to witness. If we're ever visiting Swanage again, we will definitely be having our breakfast here.

Really great breakfast. Quality ingredients cooked right. Well done. I'll definitely visit again

Breakfast - English, simpel und genial. Die beste Adresse für ein schnelles Frühstück in Swanage.

Genau die richtige Adresse, wenn man mal eben ein typisches English oder Scottish Breakfast in Hafen-Atmosphäre genießen möchte. Die Einrichtung simpel-funktional, der Service etwas reserviert, was aber dem Gesamteindruck mitnichten schadet. Im positivsten Sinne ein netter real English Breakfast Place… Das Teabreaks Café besuchen wir gerne wieder.

Great little cafe in the heart of Swanage, all the food is freshly made to order (so expect a little wait at busy times) and the full breakfast is gorgeous, highly recommend a visit!!

One of my favourite places in Swanage, regularly eat in and take away! There's a great range of good quality produce but the standout offering for me are the items which they get from the Scottish butcher. I love the Scottish breakfast and I'm always delighted when I see the genuine lorne, proper black pudding and white pudding too - it's all just as good as the meals I've in the highlands. Having lorne, haggis and black pudding with onions in a roll for lunch is another favourite before grabbing a couple of Scotch pies to take home for dinner as well!

My favourite cafe in the area, but one that stands in strong contest against any cafe I regularly use (I work in St. James’ London), a proper cafe not a deli. The quality of the packaged products is second to none, the plated & takeaway food isn’t just great for the price but simply great, the chap behind the counter (owner?) is great; organised (rare in many places) & great to shoot the breeze with (interesting & funny), . If the locals are regulars it speaks for itself. AND check out the photos on the walls!

Had an amazing breakfast, freshly cooked and quality ingredients. Cooked perfectly by the owner. Highly recommend

We found the place smelling of old fat as if it hadn’t been changed in a long time . The chap was slovenly dressed, hair in a mess and would not have wanted him any where near my food. He was ignorant, uncouth and very rude. We didn’t even sit down we left . Ok for a greasy spoon for workmen. We didn’t dine , we were looking for somewhere to have lunch. So we didn’t spend anything. If l could give no stars l would .

A cosy cafe with good food. We had sandwiches which were well presented and with plenty of filling. Eat-in time is limited as it's takeaway only after 2pm (or was the day we were there).

Nice little place for a light lunch or takeaway.

Highly recommended. Good quality food at very reasonable prices. It is very popular with both locals and visitors to Swanage so beware you might not get a table, but is also very popular for takeaways. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Asked if they had room for two people and was welcomed with a frosty reception. There was definitely space for two but we were told there wasn't. I would not recommend this place unless you didn't mind being race profiled.

So nice. Well worth the 5*. The sausages are to die for.

Literally the best breakfast I have ever had, 100% recommend the breakfast special, the haggis sausages are phenomenal stuff

Best breakfast in swanage . Lovely ended up there 4 days in a row.

Had a very nice Bacon and Egg Baguette from here this morning. Good quality ingredients and super fresh baguette. Definitely recommend!

Delicious breakfasts before boarding The Flying Scotsman at Swanage Railway Station. Thank you for accommodating our family and baby on his second birthday 🎂

We spent a very nice moment yesterday at Teabreaks with my husband :) The food was super tasty, my husband loved the English Breakfast served there! The staff is very friendly, we had a nice chat with them, also their recommendations about our orders were correct and completed the experience. We felt very comfortable and welcome there, we will be coming back for sure next time we visit Swanage :D

A favourite spot to go for breakfast or get a good meal deal for lunch. A bit away from the hussle and bussle of the sea front so quite often overlooked.

Easy to find and central. The menu is varied and clearly explained. Clean tables, fair prices and lovely hostess. We would definitely return as the breakfast was tasty. Carrot cake not bad and cheap price. Do visit this establishment!

Really friendly and helpful staff That is really good advice on local attractions how to get there and other places to eat. and very good quality well cooked food Must admit the sausages were really good

Arrived just as they were opening but sat down and was surprised how quickly the breakfast arrived. Good size portion and tasty items. Reasonably priced and a good mug of tea to wash it down

Had pie mash and liquor today and it was lovely, even down to chillie vinegar, can't knock it, will definitely go back, service was great also, well done all thumbs up👍

Excellent choice of venue for breakfast. Quick service and very friendly. Would go there again anytime! Very recommended! A1+++

Ripped off here...no mention of price increase if you eat on...£7.95 for bacon baquette...instead of menu price of £4.95...no salad or garnish !!!

Absolutely top breakfast. Superb sausages, thick bacon and for those who like it, delicious black pudding!

Best pie and mash in Dorset. And why ? Its imported from London. Had a takeaway, double mash portion huge. Double liquer portion just righr. Pie, well filled soft underneath ( just as it should be) extremely nice owner. This is high praise coming from a" Bush" lady.

Lovely hot vegan pasties available!

Super fresh and really tasty. Excellent value for money and very friendly cafe. Will certainly be back!

Friendly service and fresh prepared baps/baguettes. Just a short walk up from the sea-front

I was going to order a Homity Pie & Chips but they were out of stock so I went with their suggestion of the Cheese & Onion Pastie with Chips instead. The Pastie was shaped like a Cornish pastie but with a different filling and was delicious. I think the chips were handmade instead of shop bought and were very chunky & also very tasty. The staff were all friendly and seemed to be rushed off their feet with a continuous flow of customers wanting to buy food & drinks to takeaway. There are a small number of chairs & tables inside which is probably reduced due to the Covid. I would definitely eat there next time I visit Swanage.

Stumbled upon Teabreaks on a recent trip to Swanage. We were looking for a good value breakfast as we didn’t want to eat in our hotel. Very friendly owner and staff, interesting music memorabilia on the walls which was a great talking point. We had a lovely bacon and tomato baguette which was stuffed with good quality bacon, and an egg and sausage sandwich made with fresh crusty bread and a fried egg that was cooked perfectly. Great value and excellent service, we will definitely be back on our next visit to Swanage. Highly recommended.

Called in at Teabreaks during lockdown for a take away sandwich and came away with the best Baguettes I've had in a long time. Lovely freshly made filling, fully loaded to the max and gorgeous carrot cake for desert.. Lovely friendly staff. If you’re in Swanage looking for breakfast or lunch look no further. Highly recommended.

Excellent food. Nice friendly staff.

The owner is very welcoming and polite, the food is amazing and all cooked fresh at a very good price it is a definite must go to place

Been staying in Swanage all week, and ate out every day. Have to admit, I was a little pessimistic about having something to eat here simply because the cafe is so small. But my goodness, both me and my husband were delighted. 2 x perfectly cooked breakfasts and the fantastic sausages...top quality! Highly recommend Happy friendly service from 2 young ladies. Thankyou. Highly recommended!

Was looking for a costa but couldnt find one and came across this little cafe.. Not very big but got a table ok. Good choice of menu and prices were not too bad. Wife had scrambled eggs on toast and i had a bacon baguette, both enjoyed the food but not over fussy with the drinks. Did have a loo. Chap serving was on his own and seemed a bit stressed with things and wasnt too customer service focussed.

Went there for breakfast this morning with my husband. My egg was overcooked, bacon and sausage okay. £1 extra for a slice of toast. Cheap brown sauce in an HP bottle. Mug of tea £1.50. Very cheap teabag.

Went to Swanage for the day and felt hungry so popped into teabreak. A small indipendant cafe. The customer service was warm and welcoming and all the food and drink is great quality and reasonable prices. I went there 2 times in one day. Highly recommended.

Found this little cafe in Swanage on the Main Street being Coeliac it was a lucky find, none of Public Houses serving food could cater for me. Went in and asked and they made me a Jacket potatoes with.Cheese and side salad, I enjoyed it very much. If you ever visit Swanage it may be small but the guy who ownes it, has a big heart, I can recommend the food.

I've been in the Teabreak several times now and I must say the impression is consistently top quality. From the friendly service to the very tasty breakfasts I felt like the chef and waitress really care about their customers. I've had their coffee too and found the latte well made every time I was there. It's more than worth a try.

I visited this cosy Café and was pleasently surpriced. Lots of great looking home made pies, pasties and sandwhiches. I chose a full English breakfast instead and yummy it was good!!

Went in for breakfast, great meal! Great service, high recommend. Give it a try if in the area you will not be disappointed

Excellent all day breakfast pleasant friendly service. Offer great daily special Always our first stop on arriving in Swanage. A few yards from Station and bus terminus Will continue to visit every time we go to,Swanage.... Thanks for opening Teabreaks. Great name great service

On our visit to Swanage, we drawn into Teabreaks by the pies, and we made the right decision! Delicious food, with good quality meat. The only negative thing is we couldn’t choose from the wonderful selection! The place was spotless and in a great location, highly recommend.

Chicken was presliced and packaged, with that off putting "crunch" you get from cheap chicken. My daughter refused to eat it so it ended up getting picked out of the bread. The bread was out of a packet too. To take this sandwich away was £3.95
