Waterstones bookshop in New Forest

Lovely atmosphere, quick service and tremendous coffee art from the barista, Dan was his name I believe. Will most definitely visit again!

This is a lovely little cafe. The coffee was made extremely quickly & the service is prompt. The tables are cleared quickly. I would recommend the vegan mocha slice. Delicious, moist sponge with the right combination of chocolate & coffee flavour. There is a nice relaxed atmosphere, so good to have a coffee & read a book, or chat with a friend.

Friendly and informative staff. Excellent organic Americano and espresso located inside a lovely bookstore.

Nice place, books and newspapers to read, cakes really lovely coffee only so so! Plus they've recently raised their coffee prices, so not such good value now.

Lovely place for morning coffee, friendly staff, great coffee, free papers and wifi, clean toilets and even noticed dog treats for those who had dogs. Nice selection of counter food. Set in among the book shop what a perfect partnership.

Called in for a coffee on a Wednesday morning. Service was good and plenty of places to sit. Coffee was nice and the whole place has a relaxed atmosphere. Handy toilet at the back of the store.

Good selection of books, obviously. Small children's play area. Nice cafe with a few tables outside which is nice to people watch in the Furlong on a sunny day.

本屋ですが、店内にカフェスペースがあります。そこまで混んでおらず、お茶もスイーツも美味しいので、New Forest散策帰りにおすすめです。

Nice little cafe adjoining the book shop (always a real benefit). Cakes etc are always yummy and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Can sit and read magazines and enjoy people watching

Gave me crap tea and turned the air con on and I came in from the cold to the warm and it was turned on. Furious.

Nice bright area by the large windows opposite Waitrose. Coffee & teacakes good, free newspapers & very pleasant ambiance. I often park my husband here & I go shopping after coffee!!

Had coffee and cake during a shopping pitstop. Nice flavoured lemon and raspberry sponge but a bit dense - maybe because most of the cakes seemed to be gluten free? Served quickly, but a shame the tables weren't cleared as fast. Had to move tea pots and cups out of the way before I could unload my purchases. Still. Had a restful time recharging batteries eating my cake and drinking coffee while starting to read one of the books just purchased.

This is a real gem of a cafe Such good food Staff really really nice Love the tea and cake And so cheap

the staff here are really helpful and always have good suggestions for books for my various family members. good selection of toys and activities and they also make a good tea and coffee and a range of cakes inlcuding a gluten free option

We popped in for a drink and to purchase some books to read whilst holidaying in the area.

I wanted a nice cake and the only choices were gluten free. When I asked about the lack of choice, I was told that gluten free cake, means all needs are being catered for. I explained that having cooked gluten free cake I was not keen, I was told that these were professionally made so would taste nice...which without doubt was a slight on my baking skills!!!

The coffee shop at the local waterstones have a quite a bad service and the staff are quite rude and not very cheerful. There is a very small choices of food and some drinks on the menu. The seating area is quite small and cramped. What a shame and it could have been such a great asset to the local Waterstones branch in Ringwood.

looking for a sandwich and a cup of tea we were pleasantly surprised to find this delightful cafe in the middle of Ringwood and in our favourite bookshop. not only pleasant, but inexpensive and the staff were lovely. very good value and we will be visiting again when in the area.

I think this is one of the loveliest stores - great displays and friendly staff. I look forward to visiting when I am down from London

This Waterstones shop is situated in the Furlong Shopping Centre

I was browsing the books and decided to have a coffee, everything that i saw food wise go to other tables looked great I will return

This is a Waterstones bookshop and as such is very good but in terms of an attraction it is a bookshop and cafe combined which is often the way nowadays. I was here for books.

Call in for coffee most weeks after shopping, staff very friendly & efficient. Usually plenty of seating but when busy can be difficult to find a table. Nice to be able to browse in the bookshop as well.

Waterstones in Ringwood is worth a visit especially if looking for help with what book to buy ; extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff always go that extra mile. good for drink and cakes too with good Gluten free options

I've visited a couple of times for lunch and found it to be a really pleasant little escape, with a limited menu but nice food and good friendly service. Not bad value at all and it's a bit of a peaceful little gem in a nice environment.

Love our local Waterstones in The Furland a centre in Ringwood. The staff are so friendly & always very professional & helpful. The shelves are well stocked and the feeling in there is one of comfort & relaxation. The cafe within is always lovely with good coffee. The book selection is excellent but wish their were more they could house, perhaps they could expand upstairs? It would be really good to have a bigger section of audio books and I'm hoping that will happen. Recommend a trip here but be warned....you can't leave without purchasing a book or 2/3 each time you visit

Small shop so stock to appeal to the masses rather than anything different or unusual. Coffee area chairs are extremely uncomfortable and poorly designed.

Inside this Waterstones' book shop is a hidden gem of a café.

Such a great atmosphere in here,great smashed avocado on toast. Good coffee too . Always busy.Good selection of cakes.

Often meet girlfriends here at Waterstones in Ringwood for coffee because it's attached to a book shop which I love! I think every time I have coffee I buy a book or visa versa.....Nice flat whites & good array of cook books make it a perfect spot for me

i wish this place was near me when mine were younger.books in a fun relaxed shop, where you can get a coffee and cake and browse the books,large chalkboard so kids can play and choose a book/game/gift great selection

Unenthusiastic service, items listed on the menu unavailable, so called peanut butter, banana & honey sandwich arrived as a collection of ingredients (minus the honey) from which I had to make my own sandwich, staff seemed more interested in chatting (loudly) amongst themselves that making sure customers are happy.

Waterstones is always an interesting place to be and this one is obviously very popular and the cafe side v busy. Staff were very helpful when we asked about places to eat and even looked up the menus at the one we decided on and gave us very clear directions on how to get there.

Great selection for a small shop, helpful staff, and coffee not bad either. Had just what I needed for Sons art homework

Firstly I so pleased that there is now a Waterstones in Ringwood!It was a right pain travelling all the way to castle point to get a book.Now I have all the books I could want-fiction,fantasy,sci-fi thriller,history,baking and much more;all on my doorstep!As well as books this quirky Waterstones presents games,calendars toys etc,it really is the place to go!

Lovely little café to stop for a quiet Coffee and a giant sized slice of cake, all at a fair price. and the service is fast and friendly. Its the perfect place to go for a leisurely drink and snack on your own or to meet up with friends.

After a visit to the bookshop what better way to take the family to the cafe. Excellent frappes and capachinos, and free babychinos for the youngsters.

This is a very nice bookshop of which about a quarter is taken up with a quaint cafe offering hot and cold drinks, cakes and light snacks.

Great last minute holiday shop, soo happy Waterstones is in the Furlong Centre in Ringwood now, it's really added so much value & happiness to the area. Great selection of books, always updated & well stocked shelves, they can order most books in for you as they have for me. The staff are knowledgeable, presentable, friendly & helpful. Having the combination of books and an informal relaxed fab coffee shop is just great

As a bookshop Waterstones can't be beaten - relaxed atmosphere, with its own coffee shop and plenty of stock to select your reading material. It fits in well in the Furlong Shopping area.

Tucked away in the Waterstones bookshop, this small cafe has a cosy feel to it. Sit and read a supplied daily paper while you enjoy your hot or cold drink. Selection of cakes on offer, child friendly, with young vibrant staff, it was a pleasure to visit.
