The Quay Cafe in Poole

So glad we kept walking down that end of quay .lovely coffee and gluten free carrot cake and Apple cake was a treat .definitely my place from now on ! And reasonably priced.

Rather than purchase a gunky pub chain breakfast we tried this small local cafe. Staff provided a professional service with a smile and breakfast was made of quality produce. Impressed! Well worth a vist.

Visited on 3 separate occasions and had breakfast. Good menu selections and in every case the food was cooked to a high standard and was piping hot when it came. Also popped in for coffee and cake - some great selections available if you like a slice of cake. A very popular quayside cafe open from breakfast but closes around 4pm’ish

Wonderful fresh crab at a very reasonable price with generous salad and jacket potato. Very pleasant efficient staff. Plenty of indoor seating, some with quay view. Pleasant vibe inside.

Popped in for an iced coffee and sat outside to enjoy the sun. Nice sun trap by the harbour. Staff friendly and attentive.

The quay cafe is a wonderful place for a spot of lunch. Amazing views as it’s right on the sea front. The food was excellent and the staff were so friendly. The younger manager was so bubbly and very chatty when she brought our food over. Altogether our experience was great and we definitely will be returning.

Dog-friendly cafe on the Quay with plenty of food options for the super hungry visitor or the dainty 'fussy-eater'. We had a fab breakfast in this wonderful cafe, which gets busy (be warned). The staff were jolly and bubbly (even) at 8 am and made us feel very welcome, even when we re-arranged the furniture to suit ourselves. The food was well cooked and the whole atmosphere was clean, fresh and welcoming. Thank you.

lovely spot to sit and relax. ordered prawn granary sandwich which came with a generous amount of filling plus crisps salad etc with an espesso. well worth the money. nice waiting staff. would go here again.

Visiting Poole in the pouring rain is not ideal. Making the most of it we called for a cup of tea here. Great tea and fabulous coffee and walnut cake. The Staff were lovely and so obliging . Thank you for bringing by a little sunshine to our day

What a great cafe for breakfast along Poole Quay. Food was all cooked fresh and top quality, along with great value. It was so good, we came back 2 days later and still everything excellent. Will definitely be back again when in Poole next.

Popular haunt of ours when visiting Poole Quay. We had 2 x prawn & marie rose sandwiches and a pot of tea for two followed by 2 pieces of lemon drizzle cake which were both excellent. We then worked off our lunch with a walk back to the car which we parked near Baiter.

I called in here with my daughter and granddaughter for a treat breakfast from them, I ordered an americano coffee with hot milk on the side, when it came, I went to pour the milk in and just a lump of froth fell into my coffee, I went and asked if I could have a top up of milk and was told it would be 30p, I explained that the “”milk” I had was in fact was froth, but was again told it would be 30p. This was the manageress/ owner. We regularly visit here with our family as they have a large table that accommodates the 20 of us, but if 30p is more important to them than looking after their customers, then I’m afraid we will never set foot in there again. Their loss is THE DELI ON THE QUAY next doors gain. Lovely service and great food.

we were in poole to get some shoes. needed somewhere to eat. found this cafe what a super place. staff very helpful and cheerful. superb scampi. will be comming back next time we come to poole.

Went to the cafe for a cream tea as part of a tour with GB tours .the first thing is it was very well organised 40 people coming in all at once our cream tea was really lovely best scones I've eaten in ages .allthough I did have to pay extra for cofee as I don't drink tea !!! The staff were really amazing so friendly the cafe is very clean and we really enjoyed it .we'll done to you all and many thanks x

Having, thankfully, not checked in for breakfast at the hotel (it looked very bland and expensive), I ventured along to this café for a great breakfast of 'smashed' avocado with poached eggs on granary toast and a large cup of coffee. The service was good, and the food was excellent, albeit, I think, that they 'forgot' to 'smash' the avocado They are 'forgiven'

If you're on Poole Quay and wasn't the best breakfast ever then stop by here!! We managed to get breakfast just before they started lunch and it was absolutely delicious. The team were super friendly and efficient. This restaurant gets super busy too from the time they open so be prepared to wait for a table at peak times.

I visited this café on Saturday with my partner and a friend for some brunch. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who explained the system of ordering and invited us to take a seat wherever we liked. We sat outside with a gorgeous view of the quay and even had blankets incase we got chilly. The chairs were really comfortable and made for a relaxing visit. The menu was broad and had lots of different options for both smaller and larger appetites. We ordered 2 of the eggs Benedict and one full plate breakfast, which were all delicious and good value for money given the location of the café right on the quay. The only downside to our visit was a long wait for our coffees, which arrived after our breakfasts were served. Having said this, it was a busy little establishment and the staff were apologetic for the delay, which was nice. The cakes inside looked absolutely gorgeous but unfortunately we were too full from our brunch to try them this time, so we will definitely be back for a coffee and some cake soon. Thank you!

Truly awful made on cheap bread using bacon instead of ham was like eating cardboard. Was told by waiter they make in the morning and reheat so not even fresh. Was offered refund.

Very nice place to eat. The food is delicious, you get what you pay for. Not the cheapest cafe but the food is high quality and cooked well. Staff are friendly and helpful. The interior is stylish and clean.

Polite friendly staff but unimpressed with the food. The special soup of the day was in fact a tin of lukewarm mushroom soup - this should be specified on the menu. Will just stick to coffee in the future if we return.

Visited many times … the fish and chips are absolutely amazing . Thank you to JJ and Adam great service from everyone . Thoroughly recommend a visit .

This is a lovely cafe with lovely staff. I had Fish and Chips which were beautifully cooked. Definitely right up there with the best I have ever had. No doubt about that. Please come and visit as you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to coming...

This has now become a must stop for lunch when we are in Poole. Great choice on the menu, very good young staff and great food in a nice comfortable environment.

Only the second visit here but still great service, lovely breakfast - Full Grill and Eggs Benedict - and great coffees,

Stopped here for a mid morning coffee and the bonus was their gluten free apple cake, it was amazing. Service was friendly and efficient, certainly worth a stop if you are walking along the harbor at Poole

Food very tasty and hot service was good food came quick no faults there. I did have a problem with table sanitizer after each table was cleared I never saw it being wiped down and even the wipe down menus not touched not good

First time of visiting. Went for a walk along quay & stopped for breakfast. Although busy service was fast, friendly. Lovely cappuccino with a sausage bap. Definitely be back to try the full English. Thankyou

Excellent for Gluten Free and dog friendly. Staff super friendly and really relaxed. Highly recommended for coffee and cake or a meal

Friendly staff and good variety of food ideal for a good breakfast, nice eggs or full variety of cakes. Tried Florentine eggs as vegetarian option and royal (salmon) and good quality and price. The capuccino was not the best but good enough and plenty of dairy free options. Also the location is ideal, just in the sea front!! Good energy charging point if you are passing through the small town of Poole.

Walked past a couple of times whilst on holiday. Popped in for breakfast. Mushrooms on sourdough bread was gorgeous. Just a shame that the mom bubble and squeak had bacon in it. Great cup of coffee.

Beautiful location and very welcoming cafe. Came here for lunch and it was so lovely we came back for breakfast the next day! Both visits the staff were very professional and attentive and the food was exceptional - better than your usual “cafe” standard. A large selection of cakes and pastries and lots of choice on the menu. Covid measures in place were good and the staff were always cleaning and busy. Will definitely be visiting again - thank you!

I'm so happy to be able to offer this cafe my support during such a difficult time for them. I have a coffee and lunch each weekend and the service and quality of food is impeccable. Social distancing is enforced well and the views across poole harbour are wonderful. The walk across Whitecliff to the Quay is the highlight of our week.

We stopped off here on our way back from a long walk, it was warm, comfortable and clean. We chose our food and I changed which cheese I wanted which wasn’t a problem to the chef atall. The drinks came out first and was lovely followed quickly by our lunch.I throughly enjoyed my Brie, mushroom and onion marmalade baguette, it came with a small salad garnish which was delicious too.My husband enjoyed his tuna baguette too as he asked for no cucumber and he didn’t get any! (Lots of places forget) so all in all just a lovely place with great service, comfortable and tasty filling food.Thank you and we will be back!

Cold over cast day but that didn't spoil our lunch time visit. Dropped in for coffee but decided to try the Eggs Benedict . Both agreed it was delicious. As regulars here I can thoroughly recommend the Cafe which is spotlessly clean and table service friendly and efficient

On a weekend trip to Poole and stumbled across this cracking place for breakfast. We both agreed that this is one of the best breakfasts we have had in a long time.

Ordered their Christmas special turkey, stuffing and cranberry baguette for £7.25 only to be disappointed to receive turkey slices from a packet!!

We found this little gem by chance whilst looking for brunch in Poole. It has a wide ranging menu of breakfasts, snacks and light meals and is quite spacious and right on the sea front, so excellent views from the outside and window tables.Our food and drinks were all good, but we were most impressed by the staff who were friendly and helpful, much appreciated in these difficult times, and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. It made for a thoroughly pleasurable experience in a traditional seaside cafe.

I visited here with my friend and little boy for lunch. Food was lovely although a little over priced. They had some things in place to ensure it was covid safe such as the one way system, different doors to enter and exit by, and most tables distanced. Was surprised though that we had to go and order at the the counter as this meant going to join a queue which in a small space was hard to distance. Table service would have made this much better like most other places are doing to be even safer.

Nice place to sit on an autumn day overlooking the harbour. Staff were efficient and covid measures were in place. Can’t say anything about the food here as I didn’t eat but they do a wicked cup of hot chocolate. Not too sweet but just right. Yummy!

Lovely lunch on a sunny Sunday. Attentive and friendly service and tasty food. Payment taken on ordering which made it much quicker to depart once lunch was finished. Only comment is that it didn’t feel particularly socially distanced and there was no QR code or details taken for contact tracing purposes.

Ordered a couple of meals, one didn’t turn up so I mentioned it to a member of staff twice, it finally came out ( my husband had already eaten his) but I was made to feel like it was my fault, I then asked a member of staff for something else and she slammed it down in the table asking in the most sarcastic way if we needed anything else! Yes an apology wouldn’t have gone a miss! If you’re unhappy in your job I suggest you don’t take it out on your customers!! Train your staff better! Jobs are hard to come by in theses trying times. I’m all for supporting local businesses but would never go there again!

Quay side cafe offering all the usual all day menu. Covid aware, friendly staff, brisk service. Table service good and takeaway service also very good. Tea comes in a large pot for two but takeaway coffee could be more generous to allow more than a sip. Food fresh and generous portions. Looking forward to our next visit.

Grabbed a takeaway bacon bap and cappu before Brownsea ferry. Both delicious and prompt service. Cakes looked delicious too. Shame it closes at 5 pm, would be nice for dinner. Will be back.

We had full grill breakfast with coffee it was excellent quality and cooked just right also the coffee was excellent and the setting sitting across from the boats with the sun out what more do you want first thing in the morning and the staff were great This will be our first call when visiting Poole again ve y soon I hope

Arrived sat down and they have one way in and in same way out. Eating in was ordered in same quay as takeaway so takes ages to order and you mix with too many people. Other restaurants are doing table service to keep you safe. They have changed nothing. Food wise, although my scrambled egg on toast was lovely it cost £5.20 and included one piece of toast. One friend had eggs benedict which she said was nice. My other friend had soggy toast and poached eggs and this was snatched my a staff member and swapped for another soggy toast. Food is under generous here for the price. Ordered 3 seperate pots of tea for £6 got one pot and three cups. So £2 each and we got one dainty cup of tea. Lots of people customer wise and it didnt feel covid friendly. Lots of staff seemingly walking around doing not much. Yoi cant just go for lunch when working as takes too long.

Friday 14 August and Poole was rammed. Lucky to get a seat outside, they are well spaced out and distanced. Manageress very particular clearing the tables and carrying out hygienic cleaning.Great Burgers and lovely pot of tea. Helpful and friendly staff.Give it your support!

A lovely cafe on the quayside near Old Poole Town. Not your typical “greasy spoon” but a classy establishment run by polite, attentive staff. Lovely outside seating area and the inside is lovely also.The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious and nicely served on the plate.The price reflects the quality and quantity of the food.

Went with a colleague for breakfast, arrived at 9.30am. Sat inside the Cafe, there was a piece of paper on the table with the name and contact details of the previous diners from 9.00am - 9.30am which obviously hadn't been collected by waiting staff, as from a gust of wind it landed on the floor. We were not asked for that information ourselves., nor it appears were other diners coming into the Cafe.The only protection from the virus provided it would seem was hand sanitizer positioned near the front of the Cafe and some of the waiting staff wore masks, but not all of them. Our table was cleared of the previous occupants plates etc., but we still had to ask for the table to be wiped clean. We promptly ordered our breakfast and paid for it up front as required. We ordered two cappuccinos which were delivered to our table. After 30 minutes or more we noted that other table occupants who arrived after us were getting their food, we duly asked a waitress who returned almost immediately with our order of a full English and Eggs Benedict. The full English was hot, but sadly the Eggs Benedict was not, nor was the toast that accompanied it. With this we called the waitress over and she took the Eggs Benedict away and promptly returned almost immediately with a hot fresh order; however she had duly taken the cutlery away and my colleague asked for some new ones. We waited, and waited and then saw the same waitress head for the toilets, my colleague then proceeded to eat his Eggs Benedict with his spoon wiped after after using it in his cappuccino as no staff came near us., and he did not want me going up to chase them. Finally a staff member came over and we were able to request some cutlery for him to finish his meal. Overall this whole breakfast experience proved to be very disappointing, we are local people and the message is "Eat Out to Help Out" but sadly this establishment, albeit practically full both inside and outside proved to be a disappointment with both the quality of food and the level of service it provided, and in light of these establishments being closed for many months due to Covid-19 you would have thought that they would be providing diners and patrons with a much better service, and as a result we will no longer be supporting them in the future due to our bad experience.

We had brunch here a couple of days and were very pleased with the food and quality. Staff were friendly, a few were still learning as they were new but all very polite and helpful. Lovely views of the harbour. Toilets very clean. My husband had the salt beef sandwich which he said was excellent. English breakfast was very good value and hot baked beans, my bugbear as so many places just serve them lukewarm.

Expensive, weak coffee, horrid cake with that icing that tastes fake and nasty. Mega hot chocolate is far from it. Gets poor rating rather than awful as there’s a nice view.

We had decided to walk, via Baiter, to the quay.Usually when in Poole we use the high street and a favourite cafe there.However, for a change, we decided to have our coffee on the quayside as it was a beautiful day.We selected the Quay Cafe because of its position and the plentiful tables outside facing the water.I went up to the counter and was served by a pleasant gentleman.I ordered a latte for Jean and a double espresso macchiato for myself.I was surprised to be asked how I would like my macchiato? I explained that it was a double (size not strength) espresso topped with the froth from the boiled milk.I paid and was told to take a seat and the coffee would be served to our table.The coffees took rather a long time to arrive but the view was lovely.The latte turned out to be ok but the macchiato was a different matter.The coffee was in a cup and the milk froth in a jug alongside. This was, to me, unusual but, I thought, quite a good idea, as it is difficult to judge how much froth each individual likes.I added my sweetener and several spoons full of the froth. I then picked up the cup, by the rim, as I am used to doing. The cup was ice cold. Not just cold but freezing cold. Italian coffee machines are designed with a ventilated top where one stores the cups so that they are warmed by the rising excess steam. This is done so that the hot coffee does not suffer by coming into contact with a cold cup. Obviously the “barista” was unaware of this way of pre warming the cups. This cup felt as though it had come straight from a fridge!Needless to say the coffee had not fared well with this treatment and was also ”stone” cold.I took it back. The gentleman was not there so I explained carefully to the waitress and a lady who I presumed was the barista.They started afresh on my coffee.Soon a cup arrived. But no milk froth! I was getting a bit fed up by this time so told the girl not to bother and I would drink my double espresso as it was. Well, as it turned our, I would not!Firstly there was only a small puddle of coffee at the bottom of the cup, certainly not the double I had paid for. Secondly, as I picked up the cup I almost burnt my fingers as the cup was almost too hot to handle. It had obviously been filled with boiling water or, worse yet, microwaved. Strangely the coffee was still not very warm.I can safely say that this was the worst attempt at making and serving coffee I have ever come across in over 55 years of coffee drinking.I went to complain to the gentleman but he was nowhere to be found so we left in disgust.This review does get two stars simply because the staff I met were charming and tried to be helpful. However, the “barista” if in fact she is qualified as such, needs retraining. If she is not a qualified barista then they need to get one as soon as possible.Not at all impressed.Peter. :o(

We took the grandchildren in for lunch and whilst the staff were very helpful the food was overpriced and poor, the food looked and tasted like it had been cooked a while ago and reheated.

Stopped here for a drink and some cake on a day trip with my family, excellent service, drinks/food were perfect and the location is great ..... would recommend :)

The croissant for our kids was lovely, the full english for myself was ok, and my wife's croque Madame - well, I have no words, it was weird and not at all like a croque you might see in any other establishment...

Stopped here for a light lunch whilst out and about in Poole Quay. We decided on stopping here because there were free seats outside and it was dog friendly. We were told that there would be a half hour wait but we were in no rush and was just happy to people watch and enjoy some of the fabulous yachts moored up.We just had a couple of baguettes and a bowl of chips between us and the food was very nice. Loads and loads of filling! With drinks the cost came in at just under £25 which we thought was good value for money. They also do doggie treats which is a great thing.

Came here for brunch back in January, and it was great. Lovely location, and not too far from the train station. Food was great quality, one of the best places to eat in Poole. Would come again.

Open for take away during lockdown. They had a good safe system for ordering and receiving food. My bacon bap was superb. All food looked superb

Really lovely cappuccino, nice complimentary biscuit to go with it. The cafe was clean and tidy and the staff were lovely. Will be coming back to sample the food, which looks incredible!

My favourite haunt. Best place on the quay for a morning cuppa or lunch. Great options for breakfast, with reasonable prices.

We have visited twice recently and on both occasions both the service and food has been good. Dogs are allowed at certain tables. The entrance is flat and the cafe contains a disabled toilet.

What a find in Poole! The food was lovely however Scott who worked there went above and beyond helping us with local knowledge of attractions, bus routes and to top it all as we left he had taken the time to write everything down for us. He did all this while ensuring that all the other customers were well looked after, what a superstar!Also compliments to the chef as the food was delicious.Great place and we will definitely be back when we next visit Poole.

Our second visit and we thought it was excellent.There is a very good choice on the menu and the menu makes it easy to identify which dishes are suitable for Vegetarians, or which are gluten free.The place was reasonably busy, but service was friendly and efficient and the food was very good.

thought this place would be really special to have a cream tea. very disappointed, poor quality scones, same pots of cream and jam we get in Yorkshire but higher price

A nice interior and I liked the setees and comfy chairs. But why is tea £1.90 but a herbal tea £2.50? You haven't even got milk with the herbal tea. I asked for some honey to go in the fruit tea and was going to be charged an extra 70p. I also didn't like the catering tea cups, I want to drink my tea out of a nice cup. I noticed the coffee was served in a nicer cup but the coffee cup was too small for a decent cup of coffee, so won't return for coffee.The food menu was full of really boring catering food and the cakes on offer were unapetising bought in catering cakes.

Second visit for a coffee. Both times the flat white was weak / milky and absolutely no texture to the milk. Not a place for coffee lovers.

I ate here at lunchtime today with my wife, daughter and in laws. Although busy the service was friendly and quick with a massive choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks and the bonus was having a few dog friendly tables inside. We all really enjoyed our visit and will be back next time we are in Poole.

Yet again good food, great service and a warm welcome. We have eaten here before mostly for an English breakfast before shopping in Poole,but had lunch today,just as good as the breakfast 10/10 .

I have to admit to not being a fan of the big coffee chains. The Quay cafe is definately not one; I think it is a husband and wife concern. Their coffee is always very good. Have also visited there for breakfast and lunch at various times. Recently had Christmas there as part of a fairly large group. As well as the food being good; the table was laid out nicely for Christmas, the food came out promptly and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Called in today for breakfast for my wifes birthday. The food and drink was really hot the service was fast and extremely polite. The place itself is clean, warm and very friendly.

Smart and friendly staff, good service very clean, extensive menu. visited twice over three days. will visit next time in Poole.

A lovely environment to spend time having breakfast or just a coffee. Very comfortable surroundings and a warm fireplace and sofas.

We popped in on a wet windy day . Great cooked breakfast bought to our table quickly..... Friendly efficient staff ... Will definitely visit again :-)

Lovely cafe with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Ideal for a spot to eat when visiting the Quay.

Always a treat when in Poole - the coffee and scrambled egg muffins are fantastic. Opens at 8 so perfect for breakfast

4 of us went in for lunch on a wet Monday lunchtime.

With my wife we ordered 2 Americanos (1 white and 1 black) together with a slice of cake and a fruit scone and butter. Total cost £10. When the coffees and the slice of cake were brought to our table we realised that we had been charged 40p for a small jug of milk. The scone was not brought to us, this we queried with the waiter but he knew nothing about it. He went to find out. About 10 minutes later I went to the servery to inquire about my scone. I was told that it wouldnt be long. Another 10 minutes later I again inquired about the scone, it was still not ready so I asked for a refund for it. This was begrudgingly paid back.
