White Stones in Weymouth and Portland

We are regular visitors to White Stones and you are always guaranteed a good lunch. Staff are very friendly and helpful and there is always an interesting selection of specials as well as the main menu. The cakes are great, especially the Battenberg which is a thing of beauty! The café itself has a great atmosphere and a really lovely outdoor seating area. Booking is advised as it is very popular and always busy.

Popped in for coffee as we been here in the past (few years ago . ) It's a great venue with beautiful garden and artwork. However, the large cappuccino and americano coffee did not taste of coffee! Very disappointed. Mine tasted like warm milk. Won't be going back.

Fantastic place for lunch - we all really enjoyed our lunch - place was clean/really welcoming - a gem of a find. Staff were really friendly and very accommodating to our requests to slightly change a few things (salad instead of coleslaw, and requesting crispy bacon)!

Lovely frothy coffee and the cakes are just as delicious. The staff are very friendly also. Note to tourists sit out the back in the lovely garden.

Delicious coffee and great cakes in this lovely neighbourhood cafe with a quirky secret garden. We loved our outside table surrounded by mosaic benches, bamboo and Buddhas. Wonderful friendly service too.

Lovely cafe with fabulous decor. Daughters especially liked the denim cushions & coffee sack seat covers. We all had regular breakfast including best tasting mushroom I have ever eaten. Kind staff replaced my coffee for free after I accidentally put salt in instead of sugar.

I brought my 12yo daughter for a weekend away and we stayed in 'Sea'. I booked us both in for the mosaic workshop with David on Saturday and we had a fantastic experience, led by a very knowledgeable artist, and the end result was 2 pieces we were extremely happy with. The accommodation was perfect for our needs. Compact, but with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the whole unit was well thought through and was a good use of the space available. The host, David, was excellent regarding communication and ensuring we were happy. I will be returning with at least one of my other children for some awesome and valued one to one time. Highly recommend and the isle of Portland has many features for visitors which can be easily accessed from this lovely airbnb. Thanks David. We'll see you again.

Lovely little cafe in the middle of Portland with lots of art pieces dotted around the cafe. The cakes looked delicious and the food we had was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean toilets and lovely small garden with art installations. Would recommend of in the area.

Wow very friendly cafe with amazing food in lovely surroundings. The garden is lovely. Highly Recommend can't wait to come and visit next time I'm on the island.😊

Great food and a very friendly service. Saturday afternoon treat, our son had a chocolate milkshake with a chocolate brownie and myself and my partner had the warmed scones. All were absolutely delicious Would highly recommend.

On a recent visit to Portland I visited this most unique café. Only a small building from the front but what lies behind is unbelievable. The indoor area had old beams & really nice furniture. Through a small door it took you to a gem of a garden, full of seats & tables which were decorated in ceramics. Beautiful plants, shrubs & trees lining a small winding path. It was absolutely fantastic. What I must remember to review was the coffee & homemade cake’s we had were first class. We didn’t have any cooked food but what we saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. A big thank you to the owner’s/staff for being so friendly & helpful. Definitely well worth a visit.

We have just returned from a fab long weekend staying in the fab little eco house, one of 3 David has. Hard to explain how unique this place is. Fab host, superb accommodation and amazing art cafe right by you. Would recommend to anybody. Parking adjacent too, we will return!

The venue was highly recommended, and it was one of the hottest days in August. We noticed locals booking tables for lunch/tea, so it can't be bad. From the front it appears to be just another coffe shop, but it has a large seating room behind, and a superb garden set up as a grotto - lots of shade and shelter. The food was excellent, and the staff attentive and helpful. Looks like the proprietor is a local artist/sculptor and his son was on the counter. We even recovered a lost sun hat. On streett parking, or car park round the corner. The dogs were welcome. All in all a deserved winner. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Visited for breakfast whilst on Portland. Service was friendly, quick and food was delicious. Can recommend the breakfast. Very tasty and a good size. Nice place to sit and eat with all the art displayed around the café.

Had a lunch here and returned for coffee and cake. As I’m vegan I wasn’t hopeful looking at the online menu as it doesn’t mention vegan options and it mentions “no substitutions”. However, there were good choices. Vegan cheese to put in a panini or jacket tato. Choices (yes, choices!) of vegan cake. Reasonably priced. Lovely setting. The garden at the back is beautiful, tranquil and quirky. Lots of beautiful mosaic work to buy by artist David Nicholls. I had a vegan cheese and bean jacket which came with a lovely fresh dressed side salad. Possibly the best jacket tato I’ve ever had. Cooked in olive oil and sea salt with a lovely chewy skin. Also had an oat milk cappuccino (only mentions soya on the menu). Returned for the almond orange slice which was lush. The staff are very accommodating and friendly and the food was great.

Called into White Stones tea rooms. Rather disappointed.. No crab salads available. Standards appear to have slipped since our last visit.

Our family group of six called in for a late lunch after visiting the Tout Quarry Sculpture Park - very comfortable and welcoming, lovely food, finished off a great day out, thanks

Really nice little space with multiple rooms and outdoor seating. The aesthetics turn the area into a really lovely creative emporium. Tasty food with plenty of GF options as well. Excellent prices.

Such a very lovely place, with excellent staff and in a quirky setting brimming with art and handicraft. The garden is superb on a sunny day, and very sheltered. The food is imaginative and delicious. Apart from a pasty I ate today, which was an awful gristly thing. Just an aberration. Order with confidence, but maybe not the pasty

Lovely venue, always something new to browse, beautiful gardens, friendly staff! Would recommend a visit and of course try the panini - Tuna and cheese personal favourite, but they've all been delicious!

Having come back to Portland for our annual stay, we always drop-in to this delightful cafe. It's a real treat to sit in (or out) as the case may be. With the weather having now improved since our last visit, and as we're allowed to visit again due to restrictions lifting, this made our break that little bit more bearable. Thanks Whitestones. See you again soon.

Being in the construction industry I have been to countless cafés ect. This is by far the best for quality and the price is unbeatable. Really friendly staff and a lovely location. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious homemade bowl of roasted red pepper soup served with a sourdough roll. This cafe has inside seating and a pretty arty garden with a pond . The cafe has covering outside in case of rain. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful cafe with great breakfast and a friendly service. We also had the pleasure of staying at the eco pods at the back of the garden. Spotlessly clean accommodation and lovely friendly owner on hand to answer all my questions. Can recommend both the cafe and the pod. Thank you for a great stay.

Such a lovely place for breakfast!The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent - mushrooms to die for - and the coffee was just fantastic, as always. The best coffee for miles around. Great covid regs in place - and adhered to! ❤️

Nothing too much trouble for the lovely waitresses here. Didn't mind us moving from an inside to outside table when one became free. Service with a smile. We had coffee and a teacake and both were perfect. Beautiful art cafe inside and out, but the outside courtyard area was very atmospheric and cosy with so much to look at.

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Lovely art cafe with a pretty garden & always clean and tidy. Cosy atmosphere Smallish menu (which is often a good sign) the food is always gorgeous, generous amounts of cheese on the paninis & the homemade coleslaw that comes with them is delicious. Cakes and coffees are also great. Staff are brilliant & can’t do enough for you All in all a great place to go for breakfast/lunch if you’re on the island :)

called in twice after work .. Coffee/ Hot chocolate and a cake in a nice little cafe with excellent Covid controls ... Spot on !!

We visited Whitestones cafe today. It’s our first visit to a cafe or restaurant since before lockdown so we were a little wary. We were put at ease straight away by the lovely staff. We gave our details for the track and trace, used the hand gel station and found a table which were all spaced out perfectly.Gianna came and took our order and she was so friendly and helpful and had the most fantastic customer service skills. We thoroughly enjoyed our milkshakes and will definitely return soon!

Lovely staff, fabulous food, welcoming atmosphere and amazing art work! I often pop in here alone (which is something I rarely do elsewhere as I suffer from social anxiety) and the staff are always friendly and kind, it's clean and well kept, the food is fab (especially the prawn jacket potatoes)! and the garden is both interesting and relaxing. Highly recommended.

Delicious breakfast ranging from egg on toast to a full English. Must try one of their special milkshakes made with fruit or your choice of chocolate bar plus ice cream and cream. Lots of lovely cakes unfortunately we were too full to try one!

Popped in for a coffee and piece of cake .Friendly staff and great choice of cakes. I have had soup and sandwiches here before but today it was a coffee and cake

Lovely cafe quite quaint with lots secluded seating areas and beautiful garden also with seating very good variety of food

Loved the Gallery, Loved the Food, Loved the Service and above all Loved the Garden. The Garden (WOW) What can I say about that. Its beautiful. Love how the artist (the owner I do believe) knows what others will enjoy looking at as well as creating things that is maybe very unique to his own emotions and feelings. Small yes, but so nice to eat outside in such an envioment as this garden with all the art work around you. Nice to see and I will vissit again.

Just popped in for lunch while visiting Portland. Had a lovely filled roll with homemade coleslaw and OH had a panini. Nice friendly service and delicious food, would definitely visit again

Had breakfast here. Lovely place. Great food reasonably priced. Friendly staff and a secret garden out the back. What more could you want?

Being local, we have called into White Stones on a number of occasions now and on each occasion both the service and the food has been excellent.They have a lovely garden with many unusual features within it.If you’re feeling really hungry, go for the club sandwich, you won’t be disappointed!

We visited for a cuppa feeling parched and were all tempted by the delightful homemade cakes. Yummy, if everywhere was this good I would be impressed.

As a local, I've visited this cafe a few times now. They have a selection of cakes, homemade milkshakes, smoothies, sandwiches and main meals. The cafe itself is very pretty and clean, with an interesting little courtyard garden full of sculptures that you can also sit in. My only comment for improvement would be more vegan options on the menu please.

Visited here with my wife and 2 girls (13 and 2). We only had drinks and cakes/scones. Very good prices and lovely food!!! Very happy local who will revisit!

Very nice cafe with a garden that is a true hidden gem. Had a crab sandwich that was delicious. Looking forward to come back!

the white stones restaurant is so relaxing in the back garden area with lovely sculptures and greenery giving it a peaceful and tranquil surrounding to enjoy your food and drinks, the breakfast was delicious, accommodation is available in the back of the gardens with wooden huts which are very well equipped.

This is one of my favourite places. a good varied menu. helpful re gluten free meal. inside and outside seating. Garden is a joy to look around. sculptures etc inside and art and jewellery on display by local artists and available to purchase. trhe staff are friendly and efficient. You are never rushed. certainly a place to visit if in the area.

Colleagues and I used to regularly lunch at White Stones when we worked up the road . The food is freshly prepared and good value.

I visited the white stones yesterday for a quick iced coffee and cup of tea with my mum.

Very friendly team, lovely food. Always have a lovely time, really enjoy the breakfast, panini and tea.

Take my daughters here for a nice milkshake and hot tuna panini. I always have cooked breakfast but they never have black pudding when ever I eat here : (. When busy the service can be slow but on the whole good clean and very nice place.

Always a great little place to stop whilst on Portland. Friendly service, good coffee and cakes. Art on the walls and in the garden.

Great place to meet friends for coffee and cake. There’s a lovely atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful. Delicious food whether savoury or sweet and coffee or a pot of tea.

We love coming to eat here. We often come with our three kids for lunch and there's always a warm welcome even tho they can be a bit much sometimes!

Today myself and my family visited the White stones café and gallery on Portland Dorset.

Had our full English breakfast here every day we were there. Please don't be put off by "full English" as this café is quite classy.

This is a bolt hole for me, my place to unwind and enjoy some excellent food. I can especially suggest the bacon butty on sour dough, the garden is wonderful as is the gallery.

We popped into here for a light refereshment stop and after seeing the extensive menu choices we decided to have tea and cheese scone. Unfortunately the service was not very forthcoming as once our scones had arrived there didn’t seem to be any sign of our tea for a further 15 minutes, we don’t mind waiting and understand that in the summer season places can get very busy around the local area, but when I went to request our teas there was no apology for our wait and again a further 5 minutes wait for these.

We have been going to White Stones for a number of years , so much so that we regard it as part of the holiday.

I popped in here for a quick bite to eat on recommendation from a friend while I was in the area. It’s a great little place that offers a simple, uncomplicated menu. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly. There’s some great local artwork on the walls available to buy. I’d definitely visit again when in the area.

Back again for coffee and elevenses. The 'artistic' garden area is always pleasant but appeared to be under alterations at this time. Wall art and crafted accessories for sale. Roadside parking is usually easy in Easton. Nice homemade and local food.

A brilliant find for lunch, food excellent, staff attentive and you are surrounded by art as you eat, including in the garden. The owner is an enthusiastic ambassador for the community and sustainability, using local suppliers where possible and with all waste from the kitchen composted on site. A quirky place well worth seeking out - you won't be disappointed.

I stopped in here during a downpour and a the most wonderful bowl of carrot and courgette soup which was a meal in itself along with fresh sour bread. I love the little garden at the back which winds a long way back. Also love the pictures on display by a local artist and may go back and buy one before i leave Portland. Would definitely recommend.

Waiters very nice, food so good, and the place with the garden is so rest, everything is perfect! Try a complete breakfast to be ready for the day!

A fantastic place for a good coffee with a beautiful garden at the rear partly covered for the typical British short sharp shower.

We went in there and immediately greeted with a rude staff member. So seemed bored and when we ordered she just mumbled back. We had a piece of cake about 5cmx5cm which cost £2, and the cake was boring. Absolute rip off. Don’t recommend.

Freshly cooked food it had a very nice atmosphere the garden is like a hidden jem very pleased will be back soon

We eat here often, favorites being the brie and bacon pannini, generous fillings with great quality food. Service is good, it's always busy here but you can call in advance to book. I rang yesterday and booked for 4, the girl on the phone was rather grumpy though. Child friendly, but they serve herbal tea just in cups with hot water and not pots. You do have to order and pay before you get the food though rather than full table service.

We visited from work for lunch especially as there was a Gluten Free food available. It was a busy lunchtime but we were served quickly and the food was plentiful and very tasty. The bonus for me was the GF food and the bread was at no extra cost which is not heard of, usually 50p is added for GF bread. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

I have been visiting Whitestones for many years, having a holiday home in Easton.

We popped in whilst driving through the Isle of Portland. We parked on the street in a space permitting an hour only. We rang to check before hand if they allowed dogs inside as it wasn't clear from the website or trip advisor reviews. They said yes...no problem!

I had a voucher for a cream tea so popped in to enjoy it! The scones were lovely and served warm with clotted cream but unfortunately despite them claiming they focus on local produce, the jam is Duerr’s (made in Manchester). Personally I feel this lets the place down as it isn’t difficult to source local jam and it isn’t costly. To say you focus on local produce (and art) but to offer little plastic tubs of jam like this is a disappointment! Other than that I liked it the cream tea.

Lovely interior, with gallery and sculpture garden. Scone and tea reasonably priced. Staff were pleasant. Table very clean and comfy sofas to sit on. Central location. Worth a visit.

Always go here when visiting Portland for breakfast. Love the garden and art. Really nice and welcoming team. Thanks Dave

Gluten free bread available for toast, great breakfast quickly served, lovely coffee, nice environment, quick service.

Out walking on sunday morning we are staying round the corner in holiday cottage just decided to pop in for...

Fantastic cafe for those who love good coffee and like a relaxed, stylish and comfortable place for some down time....

En un día muy caluroso, encontramos el jardín secreto en la parte trasera de Piedras Blancas, y tenía un delicioso café en la sombra. Gran arte en las paredes, e interesantes esculturas en los jardines.

Visitamos Piedras Blancas principalmente porque figuran en el Portland abierto para la temporada de arte. El arte era realmente bueno, pero el café también era muy acogedora y muy buena relación calidad-precio. El menú es bastante amplio para un pequeño café, y los niños son obviamente bienvenidos. Muestra de Arte durante todo el año, con cambios cada tres meses o así. Muy bien merece una visita.

Visitamos el café un domingo por la mañana con la intención de conseguir un desayuno caliente y luego pasar el día explorando la zona. Estábamos bastante hambrientos.

Desde la parte frontal, parece un lugar minúsculo y nada especial, así que cuando entras en una agradable sorpresa. La comida era fresca, local y muy sabroso. Recomiendo encarecidamente que se visite y pruebe lo que ofrece! El arte es peculiar.

Very local welcoming cafe, good value, lovely food, amazing atmosphere and customer service. Very impressed.

White Stones is situated in Easton Square on the top of the island right next to the bus stops so perfect for both visitors and locals alike.They sell a wide range of drinks as well as cakes, panini's and sandwiches (and their cooked breakfasts are pretty special too!) The decor is what makes it special though - it show cases a lot of art work in a beautifully decorated environment. It's feels both modern and rustic all once. I like the quirky environment- it makes the cafe stand apart from others.The food is good however I feel that the prices are a little expensive in comparison to other cafes and bars that that sell similar food in the area.I definitely recommend visiting here if you want good decent food (although my husband wants to stress that one half of his brie and bacon panini was just bacon) and a chance to see some of the fantastic arts and crafts from the local area.

Lovely lunch with colleagues, I had a toasted sandwich which was delicious, colleagues had a variation of paninis and jacket potatoes, all fab. Service was brilliantly quick and staff were friendly and helpful . We liked it so much we are all going for lunch again on 5th April, this time I'm having a breakfast with extras .

Family lunch on Saturday afternoon. Greek salad was good. Cooked breakfast was tasty. Nice atmosphere in here and the place got busy around lunchtime. Lots of locals visiting. Friendly and efficient service. I like the new cushions and upholstery. Cool place. Interesting bits of art around inside. Relaxing.

We called in 2 consecutive days for coffee. This is a very relaxed place, very popular with the locals. Lovely staff and also there were some interesting art pieces being displayed in the gallery. The wooden art was reasonably priced but felt some of the other landscapes were too expensive. I would have bought a couple of pictures, if the price was right.Next time in Easton we will order food.

A favourite place of ours at any time. Lovely ambience. Unhurried. The art displays change regularmy and are always interesting. In the summer the garden has secluded seatingarden in amongst the plants answer sculptures. Sun and shade. A real gem.

The atmosphere here is very artsy but also chilled. There's a nice choice of food and drinks, both hot and cold, for a good price too. The staff are friendly and nice. My only criticism is that the service is sometimes a little slow

Visited here with a friend for lunch. Restaurant was very busy but we found a table for 2. We both ordered lunch and drink. Both meals came out together within a reasonable time. Our lunch was very tasty and a great price. We will definitely be returning.

It was nice when we walked in but there was a long wait which we were advised of before we sat down, but the food which did take an age to reach us,and was disgusting when it came ! I am being bias my food was disgusting my children and partner seemed quite happy with what they got ! i'm not sure how many people deep fry veggie fritters i certainly don't ! . I cant speak for my partner but i will not be eating in there ever again.

If you love home cooked food served by warm friendly staff then you should take the time to pop in to Whitestones. The atmosphere is lovely and it's always great to see the different pieces of art on display around the cafe as well. I can't recommend this place enough and I've now become a bit of a regular. If you do go then you must make a point of walking around the sculpture garden out the back, oh and keep it a secret or I might not be able to get a seat!

From the outside this cafe looks quite small but there is plenty of seating inside and in the little garden at the back. Really good hot chocolate and coffee and super crab sandwiches. We saw an afternoon tea being served and wished we had room for more to eat.

We've called in twice the week during half term and what a cracking, friendly place it is.Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

Great little coffee house that exhibits interesting art and jewelry. Lovely coffee and delicious snacks for breakfast or lunch. Really worth a visit.

Sat in the gardens out the back , breakfast and coffee X friendly staff X also went back for coffee and cake later in the afternoon X lovely place to sit chat catch up X

This is a great place to start your day! Breakfast is really good quality and the atmosphere perfect. You can watch the world go by sitting in a comfortable sofa, or sit in the tranquil garden. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Only went in for coffee which was reasonably priced and very hot.... if you have black coffee ask for a jug of cold water to go with it. Did not have food but it looked very nice and the staff were friendly.

Popped in for a quick meal before a family wedding. There were four of us and we had two vegetarian breakfasts and two normal ones. The service was quick and friendly. The price including one cup of tea was £21.The place is clean, has a courtyard and there is some nice artwork on the walls.All in all, very good.

Lovely place for good coffee, a bit of a 'tardis' as the front looks small but it goes back a long way. The garden was a revelation (as a local, had only visited in winter before!) - loads of little garden 'rooms' with sculptures. Lovely to see local artists displayed on the walls inside and the whole place looks clean and fresh with white walls, traditional stone, tiled floors - reminded me of Spanish & Italian cafes rather than English! A little oasis in Easton.

The cafe has multiple rooms for sitting, but the garden in the back is beautiful. The food was good and affordable.

Unassuming entrance leading to a lovely light cafe out the back with some wonderful artwork to buy. The real star of the setting is the fabulous garden out the back with lots of nooks and crannies with tables under trees and pergolas, lovely plants and sculptures in amongst it all. Food is varied and very good. Cake especially good. Staff extremely friendly and helpful often anticipating your needs before you even knew them (eg offering to wrap up a doggy bag of our 4 year old not finishing his sandwich). Very kid friendly as well, kids can run around the garden freely. Dogs welcome and water bowls available too!

Don't judge a book by its cover!!Lovely inside including outside courtyard and dog friendly too. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Found this place by chance in way to Portland bill. Highly recommended and thanks for the extra scones!!

We stopped here for lunch, and were very glad we did. They have good sandwiches and delicious cakes. Also free wifi.

A mixture of art and yummy food. Lots of locally baked cakes to choose from as well. Staff are really friendly too!
