The Cake House in Purbeck

Lovely setting fantastic range of cakes for elevensies. Godd car park and extremely clean toilets. Made a lovely trip out for coffee

First visit to this little gem surrounded by yhe purbeck hills. Lovely lunch , nicely presented, a good size portion. Clean toilets and pleasant staff . This place closes for the winter of November 4th this year

Off the beaten track cafe. Had a really nice lunch which was a generous portion for the price and had some excellent cakes. Would recommend

You order at a closed window which was as inviting as a fast food drive through. You then have to wait until your number is called to collect your food, so just one star for service - very impersonal. The field that you eat in has a lovely ambience, however it was full of wasps; as far as we could see, there was only one makeshift wasp trap for the entire dining area. There is also a covered area (also with wasps), all of the vacant tables needed cleaning. We had cream teas - the scones were good, however we had to abandon one to the wasps - very disappointed.

I cycled 20 miles to the Cake House at East Creech to only find when reading the menu that all 5 sandwich and panini options were not vegetarian friendly, and when I questioned it at the counter, I was informed that they could take the meat out of one of the options and renegotiate the price. This really left me feeling weird and in 2024 surely there should be at least one option without having to barter and beg, very poor.

This was the best cream tea, we have ever had. The scones were freshly made, light and delicious with very generous portions of both jam and cream and incredibly good value. The garden setting is beautiful. We had a walk around the ponds and enjoyed seeing a whole variety of farm animals. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had visited Tyneham village and were on our way home when we saw the sign to the tea room. We are so glad we turned off and found it. We’ll be back and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

The coffee and cake were excellent as was lunch we have had in the past but I feel I must point out certain issues I have with the service .The poor service begins at the tiny enclosed counter on the roadside ,the young lady who took our order could not hear what we wanted to order got it wrong and had to be corrected several times.Then when you go into the garden and take a seat inside, the assistant calls your number from the serving hatch . Unfortunately you cannot hear them calling and other customers help each other out by repeating the order number,When you have finished your food you take your own tray back toward the kitchen.Never once do you have any interaction from a staff member Where's the Customer service ? ITs very poor

What a lovely place in a beautiful location. Friendly service and very efficient. We enjoyed the food. Lots of outside tables and a wooden inside seated area. There were lots of families enjoying the outside freedom and the farm animals.

We have stopped here many times now and the quality of food and service is simple amazing. Whether its an ice cream, cake or lunch the food is always freshly cooked and tasty. The staff are soooo friendly so thanks Amy and team. The location is lovely and can highly recommend the East Creech campsite too!

Have lived in Swanage for many years but not heard of this little tea room. Wanted a place to visit with our Austin 7 and this is perfect for a drive out in the Purbecks. Very nice coffee and cake, too many to choose from! will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu items.

Sumptuous homemade cake and tea, very recommended! Welcoming staff and fast service, we will be back!

Excellent cream tea. Lovely tea served in a large tea pot, plenty of milk as requested. Beautiful big, fruity scones served with rich clotted cream and jam. Delicious. The seating area is nestled in a clean, comfortable large barn style shed, with garden. The day we visited it was raining otherwise we would have happily sat in the garden at a picnic table. Staff are friendly and polite. Thank you.

I was very disappointed with our trip here recently and this was solely down to the cream tea I ordered for myself and my daughter. The scones looked impressive but I only had one bite as sadly the texture was like a sponge and had lots of cinnamon in. My daughter had started eating before me and had a few bites but said she didn't like it either. Then I realised the clotted cream we were given had gone off and tasted absolutely disgusting, even smelling the pot made your stomach turn. Luckily the young lady I told didn't hesitate to change it for a slice of cake and an ice cream for my daughter. The grounds are stunning and the staff were all very nice but I definitely wouldn't recommend the scones which is a shame.

Literally stumbled across this having seen a small sign on the road from Corfe to Wareham. Persevered with the 2.5 mile drive and glad we did. Picturesque location, good food, reasonably priced, clean and tidy with very courteous staff. The owners are succeeding in offering something worth travelling to. Noticed a busy campsite there as well and the emu’s in their petting zoo had me hooked. Well worth a visit, the kids there all seemed to be enjoying it.

Visited on a weekend lunchtime with the family. Menus very easy to find, and ordering at the serving hatch is simple enough. We had 2 ploughmans, a panini, and jacket potato, 2 milkshakes, 2 coffees, a slice of cake and a pot of tea for a little over £50, which I though was very good value. We had about a 25 minute wait for our order to be prepared, but it was quite busy. They call out your order number and you have to go and collect. The portion sizes were excellent. The ploughmans coming with cheddar, brie and ham, and the cheese was in decent sized chunks too. The jacket potato was huge! All served with a really healthy salad garnish that was closer to a full salad than a garnish. Nice to have the animals for the kids to visit too, an interesting mix, some of them being animals you might not expect to find in the Dorset countryside! Toilet facilities somewhat on the basic side (2 stalls in a small portakabin) but I guess it is about the best that they can provide at the venue.

Despite informing staff on arrival there was no way I could walk from the car park (75 yards down a rough steep road) and had to park adjacent to the pick-up space, when I returned to my car they had moved the pickup bay sign to obstruct my exit. Despite ours being a simple order ... a tea, hot chocolate, bacon butty with extra bacon, and two flapjacks, staff struggled to find right price. Then you have to go back to the hatch to pick up your order when your number is called. If my wife had not been with me I could not have collected the order. When it arrived the extra bacon was missing as was one flapjack. To be fair they did redo the butty and provide the missing flapjack but it involved two walks to the serving hatch. And don't think about getting to the toilets. Another 75 metres over rough grassy terrain with a gate to negotiate half way. Food was good... but able bodied or rough terrain wheelchair users only. And it would be so easy to dedicate part of the paddock to disabled parking with a little thought. Disappointed....

This is an excellent place for Tea/Drinks and a bite to eat whether cake or toasted sandwich. The staff are very polite and helpful. If we came into the area again we would definitely visit.

Quick and easy service. Really good selection of cakes. Milkshakes were very tasty. Coffee was good. Toilets welcome and very clean. Eating area outside very nice. So good we went back a few days later! 10/10

I came with my family for a dessert night - lovely cafe with nice garden on a farm. It was a bit chilly so we sat in the covered barn. Delicious cakes, sundaes and drinks. Wish I lived nearer to visit more often!

Found this place by accident from a road sign saying ‘tea room 1 mile’ and what a great find! We parked in some kind of farm yard across the road and ordered at the counter. Portion sizes were BIG and didn’t stand a chance of finishing any of it: Delicious food and reasonably priced. We sat in the beautiful garden and soon discovered there was a range of animals to visit too! Would highly recommend

Food and service is great. I had Dorset Apple Cake - lovely! The gardens are well kept with beautiful views of the Dorset Countryside. The toilets are very clean and spacious with disabled access.

A must to visit this wonderful tea room. Great place to stop for morning coffee or afternoon tea with a delicious selection of cakes and pastries. Beautiful location with lots of outside seating with a newly constructed building with lovely furniture to provide shelter. Very impressed with the facilities, completed to a very high standard. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Thank you we will visit again soon hopefully.

A hidden gem. Lovely rural surroundings and views. Great to sit outside with chickens wandering around. You can see their other animals, donkeys, goats, turkeys, ducks. Great cakes and good coffee. We always visit here when staying at our caravan near Wareham.

We bought 2 pieces of cake and 2 drinks for £9 which I think is a great price. A chicken was gently bullying us for some cake crumbs but we resisted. We had a nice short walk around the ponds and saw the donkeys and...

We had a lovely lunch here sat out in the sun with our two dogs. The portions are very generous. Our meals were really tasty and service was great. The cakes were soooooo good too!

Stumbled (literally!) on this lovely little lunch spot after descending from a walk along the Purbeck Way. Decent prices for a reasonable range of sandwiches etc. Impressive range of smoothies/ milkshakes. We didn't have any but the cakes looked AMAZING! Various farm animals for kids...

Now I have discovered The Cake House there is no other place I would rather go for tea and cake or a delicious Cream Tea. Everyone is so friendly and I love the farm setting. It’s an fantastic place to escape to and feel relaxed...

I agree with everything others have already written about this gem of a place! However, l do wonder why they can't return to using china and proper cutlery please?

Found this beautiful place during the last couple of days of our holiday. I wish we had found it sooner. Beautiful location with lovely food, so much so we visited again (the very next day) before we left for breakfast. The forest apple cake is...

Visited the cake house a number of times during our stay at East Creech . - Excellent food , service and well priced.

Found this place by accident but so grateful. Service was friendly and quick. Scone and Hummingbird Cake were lovely. Reasonably priced as well. Couldn't fault it. You will not be disappointed if you give this place a visit.

Visited twice in the space of a few days as once was just not enough. Been here on previous holidays to Dorset & it was just as perfect this year. All cakes are just delicious Lovely to sit in the garden & be entertained by...

Stopped by for lunch and cake, lovely food and very reasonable! Excellent little spot! As a local I will be returning through out the summer!

We stopped off for a late breakfast/ brunch before heading back to London. Having read the great reviews and seen the photos we were not disappointed. It was also very covid safe. The garden was pretty and the added attraction of the farm animals made...

Came across this place accidentally and glad we did. We had ham and cheese toastie and a hot drink each which was very enjoyable. The toasties were made with thick bread and they didn't hold back on the filling either and I must say it...

Visited after reading other reviews and wasn't disappointed. Great coffee and cake. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, freshly cooked lunch and homemade cakes. Covid secure in a lovely outside setting with beautiful views. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.

As locals to the area, we were told by Wareham friends not to miss this little gem for “Coffee during Covid”, situated off the beaten track! We have always liked to drive a short distance from home in our beautiful county of Dorset in order...

First visit walking from Norden Farm. Good selection of home cooked cakes.garden has lovely veiws of beutuful landscape . Now on my list for another visit. What a find.

Our family caravan at east creech every year and our stay isn't compleate without a visit to the cake house. Delicious bacon sandwiches and croissants for breakfast. My girls also loved the toasted sandwich for lunch whilst watching the roosters strutting around the seating area....

Went to The Cake House during August for after dinner cake. Lovely selection of cakes, reasonably priced and well organised.

We stop here frequently on bike rides, had a amazing Humming Bird cake! All cakes are freshly made by the owner and the staff are lovely. Felt very safe with their set up for coronavirus, definitely visit again soon.

We came to have breakfast at Amy's Cake House. Service was efficient and food was tasty. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a beautiful place to eat breakfast!

What a great find! Dropped on this place by accident. Such lovely staff and food. Cheap too. Would definitely recommend this. Was a nice change from hotel lunches or pubs. Loved the farm animals around us too!

The Cake House is situated on a working farm, when you visit you benefit from getting to see some farm animals along with some amazing cakes and lunch. We took a walk round the ponds and enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea. The bonus is everything...

This place is absolutely amazing, the cakes are fantastic and service is great. Plus the farm animals are enough to put a smile on anyone’s face. If you’re visiting or live locally you need to visit for yourself!

Visited here for the first time this year due to lockdown and glad to say as good as always. Great home made cakes, lovely Dorset Tea and a delicious ploughmans. Will be back and will always recommend.

Stopped off here on our cycle ride yesterday as was such an unusually warm Autumn day. I had cheese on toast, my husband, beans on toast; all served with a smile and friendly service from the two young female assistants. Couldn't resist taking home a...

For mum's 85th birthday, the family (8 adults and 2 kiddies) took her for a cream tea lunch. Fantastic food at a really good price in a great environment. We were in the barn, so undercover, which was not a bad thing with the dodgy...

A beautiful rural location at which to enjoy afternoon tea. Delicious cakes, reasonable prices and friendly, welcoming young staff.

First time visiting this place with my 2 and 4 year old. They LOVED seeing the goats, chickens and other animals. A really chilled vibe and excellent cakes. I’d say there is room for improvement with the coffee but still definitely worth a visit.

Fleeing from thousands of people at Durdle Door we found this little place by chance. After a fine Cream Tea, surrounded by animals, friendly staff and silence, we recovered immediately. This place is absolutely recommendable. Enjoy!

We’ve been here quite a few times and absolutely lovely it. Part of me wants to review it to let you all know about it but the other part of me doesn’t. I’d like it to remain hidden away. The staff are always polite. Couldn’t...

The Cake House is amazing. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a warm friendly smile, the place is spot less, and the cakes and food are fantastic. A wonderful hidden gem only a short drive from Wareham.

Lovely little tearoom with an excellent choice of food, friendly efficient service and good value for money. Plenty of seating outside. Will definitely be back!

This lovely cafe is situated in East Creech which is not far from Corfe Castle. There is a free car park opposite. Whilst the cafe is small and you go inside to order and pay the majority of seating is outside including a covered area...
