The Squash Court in East Dorset

I go in most days and always have a good experience in there. Whether it’s the badhand coffee, the delicious homemade cakes or the friendly and welcoming staff I always leave with a smile on my face!

Always look forward to visiting the Squash Court. Dropped in yesterday for a snack . Sadly very disappointed . On a very damp Saturday the crumpets sounded just the thing. Sadly NO not toasted and cheese, so little you couldn’t taste it. Not toasted crumpets are dull & stodgy. Such a shame as I will probably never return .

My very first time visiting the court cafe. The tables were laid out with loads of space and a very kind young lady was in charge I chose the lemon cake with an early grey tea. The cake was one of the best I have had. I left at 3.45 and it was getting busier Obviously got a great reputation. Very pleased and will definitely return.

Bought some friends back here for brunch after raving about the Victoria sponge and Bad Hand coffee which i had on my previous visit. Unfortunately this time we left disappointed £10.50 for a standard bagel cut in half with one slice of tomato, a bit of ham and a slice of mozzarella with side salad drenched in unexpected dressing? This visits Victoria sponge offering was also disappointing and a measly slice. Cant fault the setting and relaxed garden vibe but value for money needs some serious consideration

The only thing I could recommend was a nice seat in the sun, dreadful overpriced food served by people who have no idea about customer care or attention to detail, had a cream cheese and smoked salmon bagel with chilli flakes, yes I know your thinking sounds nice, but sadly not, a bagel sliced in half with a scraping of cheese you could hardly see, or was it a spread, not sure tbh, served on a side plate with absolutely nothing else poor quality and poor in appearance, could you not put it on a proper plate with maybe a little bit of dressed salad? My partner had the same measly plate with a sliced bagel with melted cheese and drizzled with honey, that’s just a weird combination, obviously nothing else on the plate, I asked her if I should complain and she just said they wouldn’t care anyway based on the attitude when ordering the food, it’s no surprise they take your money up front when ordering, as I’m sure they would have lots of issues at the till. Both bagels a sparkling water and an apple juice, just short of £25. Would I recommend it? not in a million years, would I go back? same conclusion.

A great find. Enjoyed the best coffee in Wimborne and an excellent piece of homemade pear, chocolate and hazelnut cake. Service was quick and friendly with an atmosphere that was warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely locally sourced Bad Hand coffee, and delicious home-made cakes and quiches. Would recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a medium-priced lunch in Wimborne! I must also mention the friendly staff there as well who are always happy to help

Been here a couple of times recently and it's lovely. Quiet garden with varied menu. Excellent coffee and cake stop, plus some lovely snacks. First class service and easy to park once you find it. We go in every time we go into Wimborne

Vine aquí con mi hija, principalmente para discutir flores boda con una de las señoras que trabaja en la cafetería y funciona como una floristería para Dean Court. Nos quedamos encantados de encontrar el Cafe sirve café excelente, deliciosa y muy imagionative quiche ensaladas, tartas y bollos. Sólo tiene unas pocas mesas, así que me imagino que se pone un poco ruidoso cuando está lleno, sin embargo vale la pena el viaje ya que las comidas son todos deliciosos productos. Hay una pequeña tienda cruzando el camino de grava que venden cosas interesantes si estás buscando prezzies.

Me encanta este tesoro escondido, Cafe vintage con mesas interiores y exteriores que le da perros también. La comida es caseros y frescos y hay una fantástica selección de pasteles. Hay una tienda al lado donde puedes navegar por una variedad de productos, incluyendo ropa, artículos de joyería y vajilla.

Me encanta este café. Alimentación alternada, deliciosas ensaladas, pasteles y la gran moca más deliciosos en cualquier lugar. Té verde japonés. La música también es fantástica, el personal era evidente tener buen sabor. Algunos de Reproducción brillante. Es tan refrescante tener más de lo habitual muzak. Estupendo ver la Tutor disponible para leer el correo o en vez de Telegraph Avenue. Sólo un faro en un mar de mediocridad café escondido en un oasis de tranquilidad.

Bright cheery staff, lovely cakes and coffee, charming atmosphere, good communal feel. What's not to like.

Conversión pequeño garaje. Café muy amargo y fuerte. Me molesta mucho que ver mujeres trabajando en la industria alimentaria con pelo largo no negras, como fue el caso con uno de los personal! Un ambiente demasiado ruidosa como para mantener una conversación cómoda.Mesas bastante cerca una de la otra y sería difícil conseguir ruedas/carritos.Wc en edificio separado con paños para cortinas. Paso significa muy difícil para personas de movilidad reducida.

Cute little cafe hidden away in Wimborne. Worth looking for. Popped in for a quick treat after a stroll around with Mum. Lovely homemade cake and coffee.

We popped in here whilst out walking. Lovely cakes and nice friendly. Staff Nice to sit outside too. Lovely location down a lane just off the town

Mi amigo generoso amigo Pat tiene un don para descubrir joyas ocultas como este y luego aprendiendo a mí. Este es un verdadero hallazgo! Está metido en un patio pequeño. La última vez que me fui, los pasteles eran magníficas, una enorme selección de los apetitosos, incluyendo muchos que contengan ingredientes vegetales. . . Así que espero. Estos son más que mirar adelgazante primera vista! Este escondite parece popular con los residentes locales, que parecen llevar a sus perros al patio a socializar y hoover hasta migas, mientras sus propietarios chat feliz juntos y conseguir su ración diaria de café. - detrás de la cafetería/patio hay una tienda, que, entre otras cosas, cuenta con una interesante colección de libros, nick - tentempiés que, tazas y otros regalos posible pequeño. Esto es un lugar encantador, que bien merece una visita.

Had a lovely meal at one of there set meal evenings. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The Dry Ice Ice Cream was novel.

Me encontré con un amigo para almorzar hoy esperando para ponerse al día y almuerzo. El almuerzo era bueno pero caro. Actualizarse era difícil hacer con el ruido de la música espantosa de jugar tan fuerte que era difícil escuchar el uno al otro. Es realmente necesario infligir música en clientes que pagan no deseados? Si debe ser jugado todo el tiempo podría hacer algo decente y el volumen mantienen jugó en un nivel razonable?

Una joya escondida! Precioso, acogedor, lugar peculiar poco apartado de la carretera principal de la ciudad. Bueno, saludable, menú sencillo.Precioso patio y juego en el otro lado un maravilloso edificio convertido vintage cancha de squash que ahora es una tienda preciosa que mantiene la distribución y las características originales. Sin duda volveré ;)

Mi primera impresión fue la decoración. . . Yo realmente no shabby chic. No es chic. . Simplemente viejo. Basura de otras personas para sentarse y señales aleatorias en la pared. Había 4 personal cuando llamamos y parecían estar en su mayoría preparar bebidas y comida para sí mismos. Nuestra intención era comer, pero pensamos que 6 libras. 95 por un plato de sopa, y asimismo como un exceso de £7. 00 para una porción de quiché y algunas hojas. El café estaba bien pero nos fuimos y comimos en un local cercano que ofrecía una mejor relación calidad-precio, y una decoración decente. El 4 personal ni siquiera hasta decir adiós cuando nos fuimos.

Este es un lugar que vamos a regularmente cuando vamos a Wimborne. . Y hay un gran número de cafeterías en la ciudad, pero nunca nos ha decepcionado. . .Un lugar tranquilo lejos de la plaza principal de la ciudad. . Excelente capuchino y Americano (mi esposa sabe un buen americano cuando ella ve una, así que debe ser bueno. . . ! ). . . Y la calle fueron 1 clase tartas. . Una llovizna de limón. y un limón/los calabacines de esponja. . .A menos que sepas que está allí, un visitante de la ciudad podría perderse fácilmente. . Pero la molestia de aspecto tome y no te arrepentirás. . .

Mi tipo de lugar: té y pasteles, decoración estrafalaria, bonito jardín y personal amable.Mi única petición sería cualquier oportunidad de - camino pavimentado entre la grava para sillas de ruedas y carritos? Sin duda volveremos con madre en su silla de ruedas, pero ella no me gustó estar jiggled sobre las piedras.

We had a lovely lunch sitting out at a table in the courtyard. The vegetables mostly grown there were fresh and delicious. The halloumi salad was very creative in presentation and tastefully dressed and more importantly tasted good! Coffee was excellent.

Love this cafe and the shop. A beautiful spot. The salads are sourced from the house garden and the juices are particularly lovely. The shop has some interesting gifts, clothes and vintage pieces.

Enjoyed lovely quiche & cake in a beautiful quiet setting. The staff were delightful & friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Este lugar está escondido y lo que tienes que buscar, pero cuando parece que no te decepcionará. Las tartas eran deliciosos y peculiares, que incluso intentamos pastel de espinacas? Muy saludable y deliciosa y no un chip a la vista!

Lovely quiet place to enjoy tea, cake and coffee. Very friendly staff, always happy to see friendly dogs. If lucky I can find gf and vegan cake, but they do sell out quickly. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and a sun trap in the garden.

Un amigo me presentó a este café pequeño y encantador. Creo que es un garaje reconvertido, interesante decoración y servicio con una sonrisa. Sólo había café y pastel, pero era muy fresca y sabrosa. Al lado hay una tienda preciosa (una cancha de squash convertido) que está lleno de artículos encantador shabby chic. Un tesoro escondido en el medio de Wimborne

¿Qué puedo decir? La pista de squash es un pequeño oasis escondido de la zona principal de la ciudad y sólo puedo describir como perfecto! Haciendo uso de lo que parece ser un antiguo garaje grande al lado de una casa maravillosa esta pequeña joya se abre a un patio aislado donde sentarse en un día soleado de primavera la mejor plana blanca bebiendo en la ciudad es una gozada. Yo no puedo responder por todo el menú, pero por ahora el gigante ofrecen paninis junto con las ensaladas frescas han sido una delicia. El mobiliario es una mezcla ecléctica de varias mesas y sillas, etc. que se mezclan con su entorno que mejora su experiencia. Hay incluso un jardín de vegetales para estimular sus sentidos más! El personal es encantador y te hacen sentir como en casa y las tartas, etc. en oferta son para morirse (salida el pastel de chocolate y remolacha mmmmmm delicioso) soy local pero habiendo vivido en Wimborne durante los últimos tres años he descubierto recientemente la pista de squash, pero puedo prometerle es superior a lo que el resto de la ciudad tiene para ofrecer. So.. Por favor, no te conformes con la costa en la plaza de la ciudad encontrará la pista de squash y disfrutar... Pd. Después has comido, no te olvides de visitar la tienda situada en la actual pista de squash antiguo en la parte trasera de inusual mezcla encantadora detalles.

Hidden gem - cool surroundings, handy parking right in the centre of town, gorgeous food, great coffee. Soup is to die for.

A lunch time delight. Wholesome tasty food fresh from the garden kitchen. The squash court tucked down Deans Court lane in the middle of Wimborne is a hidden gem. Great lunch.

We have visited this place on many occasions for coffee and cake, very friendly staff, lovely home made cakes!

Compras en Wimborne, pasó por esta/almuerzo de cafetería con temática preciosa, gran menú y la comida está bien preparada y servida por el personal encantador. En la parte principal de Wimborne y bien merece la pena una visita, parking disponible que ayuda. Sin duda volveremos.Gordon y JulieBournemouth

Mocha served with Beetroot and chocolate cake, very very friendly staff played some great music have not heard for ages coffee was amazing, one of those lovely places where the tables have a slight wobble everything seems slightly out of place

Always a warm welcome, dog friendly too. There is usually at least 1 gluten free cake option, sometimes vegan and gf too. Lunch options, fresh and very nice. A little chilly to sit outside at the moment, lovely in the sun on warmer days.

A very quaint, friendly place to meet friends or just pop in by yourself! The food is excellent and the service was naturally friendly. The cafe has a great atmosphere, especially on a cold winters day!

Warm, lovely and welcoming staff and delicious vegetarian food make this our favourite place to visit in Wimborne!

Arranged to meet a friend for lunch. We chose a table and looked at the blackboard, then went to the counter to order. Unfortunately they had run out of what we both wanted so we had to re choose. The food was nice but my quiche was neither cold nor hot - it had either been inadequately reheated or wasn't refrigerated to start with, couldn't decide which. Despite us being the only customers and there being two members of staff, when we wanted to order tea after our meal, we had to go up to the counter as one was on the phone and the other texting. Likewise when we came to pay. I presume that counter service is standard but when the cafe is empty it makes you feel like you're being deliberately ignored. Overall the food was good and the setting was really nice, but we weren't welcomed with any warmth and the staff were indifferent throughout our visit. I left feeling they couldn't have cared less - probably won't rush back as a result, there are plenty of friendlier places in Wimborne.

Yo sólo fuimos para un café con un contacto de negocios, así que no puedo comentar sobre la comida. Aunque es un sitio bonito y las tartas parecía bueno, no había pasar la antipática recepción. Esperamos un poco para que se sirve en el mostrador, lo cual está bien. Pero cuando llegó nuestro turno, nos dieron un guiño cuestionar por el servidor. No hay 'Sorry para mantenerte esperando'. No se Cómo puedo ayudar?" no hay palabras. No sonríen.Las opciones de café se aclaró, de nuevo con ninguna sonrisa. No ofrecen ningún extra (por ejemplo Cuándo quieres algo más?) tan malo para el negocio.El pago no era igual de transaccionales con calidez. No molestar.

He ido a la vieja Pista de squash ya que abrió sus puertas por primera vez. La tienda es un gran lugar para navegar por si lo que quieres es encontrar inusuales regalos para amigos o seres queridos.La cafetería está situada en un garaje, ofrece apetitosos comida casera y bebidas.Recomendaría este lugar como una alternativa a las numerosas cafeterías en Wimborne.

Me encontré con el café por casualidad cuando compras en Wimborne. Situado cerca de tienda eléctrico holmans está situado en el casco antiguo cancha de squash.La cafetería ofrece una ecléctica mezcla de elementos antiguos y nuevos, que son inusuales y hacer un regalo ideal para seres queridos.La cafetería está situada en un garaje, ofreciendo deliciosas tartas caseras y comida. Visité recientemente con mi esposa y he vuelto dos veces desde entonces. Yo recomendaría la vieja cancha de squash como alternativa a las numerosas cafeterías en Wimborne.

Loved this shop and cafe so much…I'll be back soon! It has such a fabulous choice of unusual products!

La Pista de squash es una pista de squash, pero con una diferencia. Esta encantadora un tesoro escondido en una pequeña calle unos 2 minutos a pie de Wimborne Minster. Yo estaba allí para un evento Wimborne Literaria. La casa producidos pasteles son elaborados con ingredientes cultivados casa y servidos en estilo por un personal atento. La decoración es estilo retro chic y te puedes sentar en el pequeño patio, así como en la cafetería. Un Emporium que venden productos sofisticados retro que comparte el mismo sitio, un lugar perfecto para ir presentes tiendas!

I went to get a couple of sandwiches for our lunch and stumbled upon this tea house, I ended up ordering 2 cheese and ham paninis at the cost of £14!! They had tomato in which I didn't ask for and that my partner hates. This place has a very snobby atmosphere but saying that the ladies there are very friendly and polite.

This is one of WImborne's best kept secrets. A fantastic little location hidden just off the beaten path. We have never had food here (apart from the delicious cakes), but they do make the best coffee in Wimborne by a very very long way.The welcome is warm, atmosphere superb and although small in size we have never had to wait for a table. Seating outside in the pretty garden is an option in good weather.We regularly come back - simply as the coffee is perfect.The Squash Court next door is worth a trundle round and is full of fascinating stuff...Please don't visit this place as we can then keep it a secret.

Catchy music, happy staff and a gorgeous cafe with quirky industrial touches made my overall experience of a chilled out lunch all the nicer! My salad with edible flowers and haloumi looked lovely and was very tasty. Thank you Squash Court.

My partner and I had a delicious lunch today at this lovely cafe in Wimborne. The homemade quiche and homegrown salad made for an ample and very tasty meal. It was followed by their homemade chocolate and beetroot cake which was equally delicious. We also visited The Squash Court Store which always has a lovely little something to buy - this time their colourful glass tumblers.

On first appearances it looks a pretty little place. Once sat we gave our order and the drinks came first with quite a wait for the 2 salads ordered. Wasn't impressed with the same person plating the food with her bare hands and inbetween breaking off to handle money and constantly tucking her hair back behind her ears. Haloumi and avocado salad was minus the avocado and when this was pointed out the reply was oh sorry theres not enough left. (the bill was adjusted to allow for this). Had to ask for napkin but only 1 person was given one and it seems that unless you ask no one gets one.A plate of leaves and a few slices of tomato were not really what was expected. Needs to have a little more thought to make it a bit more interesting.And certainly a lot more thought about simple hygiene rules.Visited April 2014ValueAtmosphereServiceFood

Nice decor and menu, but there are are some basics to learn. We ordered salads, which arrived without all the advertised ingredients. Mine consisted of leaves, tomatoes, halloumi, but avocado missing. My friend's salad was leaves, tomato and ham. Not very exciting. To be fair when asked we were told an adjustment would be made to the bill, but I would have ordered something different. No napkins....when requested I was given one, but not my friend! On a hygiene side, there are a few issues, one being preparing food and handling money. I think they had been very busy and possibly need more staff, but we were both disappointed. Other food served to the next table looked nice, but the hygiene issues spoilt it for us. Not keen to return.

The Squash Court is a great little find in Wimborne - slightly tucked away from the main town but signposted with a couple of chalk boards, down Deans Court Lane ( at the side of Holmans electrical shop). Its well worth exploring as there's a lovely light and airy interiors shop which is full of unusual gift wrap, cards, present ideas and homewares. I bought 2 colourful coat hook men - perfect for children's coats and more likely to appeal than plain metal ones! They also have a quirky range of clothing so definitely worth a browse.Opposite the shop is the coffee shop, its quite small but would be lovely to sit outside once the weather improves. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the cakes were delicious! I had the courgette, lemon and poppy seed which was gorgeous and my husband had the banana bread. This is a lovely cafe to take a break in whilst shopping or meeting friends in Wimborne it has a very unrushed atmosphere and gives you a lovely different view of Wimborne on your return. Hope it goes from strength to strength!

I felt destined to find this place when I did. I had known of the existence of "something" here in late Summer whilst exploring with my parents, saw a sign for "eggs" but found no eggs, and walked away again. Glimpsing down the lane a couple of days ago I was surprised to see a sign for "Cafe" and "walled garden"....intriguing. What a lovely find!The Squash Court building is apparently the original private Squash Court for Deans Court, the owners of which own this complex or romantic buildings....and is now a lovely gift shop full of vintagey style things with a French slant and "interiors rustic" toilet...sweet.The Cafe, again vintagey, French slant, is my kind of place...old school chairs, an unusual counter reminding me of the fronts of harbourside houses I saw recently in Northern Spain.I had the place to myself and had tea, served in a teacup that is almost the size of a mug..great! And a delicious and well textured piece of lemon, poppy seed and courgette cake...which I chose because the courgette made it sound a bit healthy. Great "cafe" style music being played too. Price wise, at the higher end but worth it for the quality, ambience and friendly service,I understand this is a relatively new venture for Ali, the owner, well...it's a gem. Good luck for the new season!!
