The Raft CX in Christchurch

Wonderful place. Understated kindness and efficiency from the staff. Delicious food. Kofta 👍 toasties 😋 cakes 👍. Coffee is one of the best I have ever tasted. Loved the ambience too.

This is a great little cafe with a quirky vibe. Popped in for coffee and lunch. The falafel wrap and salad was just right and very tasty. Very welcoming with a pretty little courtyard.

What a delicious cooked breakfast at The Raft in Christchurch yesterday. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast for my wife, full "Breaky Pan" breakfast for me with extra toast. Tea, coffee. Just perfect and packed with flavour. Looked so good on the plate/skillet too. The small, quirky garden to the rear is so inviting, and we ate there, in the morning sun. Good value. Super friendly and efficient service. Plenty of smiles. We love it here - thanks to all, see you again soon guys!

Nothing in Christchurch beats the food, coffee, service and atmosphere at the Raft. Dog friendly, food and cakes all homemade. Prices reasonable, staff friendly. Quaint courtyard overlooking the ruins. Perfect.

Following reviews here, my friend and I decided to try this little place out. We weren't disappointed. A kofte wrap each went down a treat, the coffee was lovely, the staff friendly, the little garden outside was cute. All good!

Amazing food!! Ordered a wide range of wraps which are all incredibly tasty, vegetarian or not. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff are very friendly. The perfect dog friendly and vegetarian friendly place to take the family. Thank you for such a good meal!

We had the Grilled Halloumi with Fig Chutney and the Falafel with Chilli Jam Wraps. Both were delicious. We had chips too and a Flat White Coffee with Oat-milk. Lovely atmosphere and decor inside and outdoor seating too in the back. Excellent service and pricing.

Fabulous halloumi wrap with home made fig jam. Was delicious. Lovely teas in mismatched cups and saucers. Fantastic home made lemon drizzle cake. Well worth the visit. Quirky style and reggae music softly playing in background. Loving this place.

Best Coffee for miles around. If in Mudeford well worth a visit. Don’t bother with other places and so friendly.

Amazing as always. Very relaxed vibe , attentive service , great value for money and choice of indoor or outdoor seating too!

I've been here a few times with friends and family and it's always a good experience. Today, went with my husband and sons, my husband said the breakfast was amazing and I always have the halloumi wrap with fug chutney as it's delicious. When most cages are charging £3 and over now for s latte, the Raft still only charges £2.75 and use really good coffee. Brilliant service particularly as we all had something different! Highly recommend.

Stopped in here based on the reviews. They have a nice little garden area at the back. The cake and chai latte were the best! Also the service was really friendly and efficient. Would definitely return.

We went for lunch. The service was super friendly and quick (but not rushed). The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I had the scrambled eggs on toast and it was really good. My husband had the English breakfast and really enjoyed it. They also have an awesome selection of cakes! Highly recommend.

A wonderful local business. We stopped off in Christchurch very briefly. Lovely coffee, service was excellent, exactly the sort of independent that any community is fortunate to have. Many thanks.

Popped into this place on a sunny Sunday afternoon for a coffee and wrap. Excellent service, food and banter. See you next Sunday.

Wondered in here late afternoon hungry from a bike ride from Poole. The food was excellent. Got 2 meal deals. Great food, salad on side was excellent with drinks. Also got a 2.50 large portion of chips which is recommended. Overall great vibes, decent prices and excellent food! Would recommend.

Best breakfast and coffee I’ve had. Friendly service. Family run and nothing is too much to ask. Will be back

Came in for lunch with 3 friends and my dog. Lots of places to sit and a lovely decor. Really good menu with an £8 coffee and main deal which was amazing. A friend and I both had the shakshuka without bacon+ eggstra egg (cracking pun) which was amazing, another had the chicken wrap which she loved and another had cake which was gone in a minute. Good coffees and fast service. Can’t recommend enough!:)

Called in here on 8th Feb 2023, never been before, what a delight, funky relaxing , different in a great way not the normal rustic and lived in. Food choices were a good mix for all tastes and styles. Would recommend the bacon and brie toasty. Came with a nice side salad with a dressing. A must visit.

I visit regularly mainly for coffee and cake. Lovely staff, so welcoming. Great service and lovely atmosphere.

Found this cafe on route to the priory. Definitely worth a visit. Perfect stop for a light lunch, coffee and cake. Nice staff and one of the more dog friendly places we’ve been to. Willow was treated to some bacon. Very spoilt. Hoping everyone can get out and support local cafes and restaurants in what’s going to be a very tough winter.

Just popped in on the off chance, with the dog in tow. Dogs welcome. The Raft hosted by great, polite and friendly staff. That was a great start. The atmosphere is excellent, urban, shabby chic. Range of various drinks / teas etc. Presentation excellent and foody superb. Attention to detail brilliant. The lamb kebab.....5* Oh and the cakes :-)

Absolutely delicious lunch of freshly cooked lamb kebab followed by homemade cheesecake and coffee all whilst sat in the sun in a very secluded courtyard. Owners were very friendly and it was good value as well. Will definitely be returning.
