A hidden gem of a family-run cafe! We stopped by Norwegian Wood Cafe for brunch and were genuinely blown away. I had the deluxe brunch and my wife went for the cheese omelette—both dishes were beautifully presented, generously portioned, and absolutely delicious. The bacon in my brunch was perfectly crisped, eggs spot on, and everything tasted fresh and lovingly cooked. Special shoutout to Tara, who is clearly a brilliant cook! You can taste the care and quality in every bite. Warm atmosphere, attentive service, and real heart behind the food. A perfect local spot for a relaxing, satisfying brunch. Highly recommended!
Paula and I have been coming here since we met back in 2019. We have enjoyed everything we have ever had there. This is the best value for money in Bournemouth by far. The staff are more like family to us now. A warm welcome and good food.
What a little gem. A lovely cafe with decent food, great drinks and fair prices. A well kept secret in Bournemouth Loved the Beatles theme.
My wife and I were looking for a nice place for Breakfast in Bournemouth and this was just round the corner from where we were staying. The vibe was lovely and the breakfast was spot-on. Service took a while, but that was only because the place was so busy - which no doubt was because the reputation was so good, so can’t complain! We’d definitely eat there again if in the area, as the Omelettes others were having looked awesome too!
We sat outside and had a fantastic breakfast here on a hot sunny day. There is plenty of parking outside, we were greeted with a smile and a welcome and ordered some coffees which were absolutely brilliant. We ordered a veggie and traditional breakfast, both of which we were granted to swap an item on each. The atmosphere was great, peaceful outside with some gentle music in the background. The prices are reasonable and the service is fantastic, both ladies who served us were very hospitable and pleasant to deal with
Very nice breakfast. Reasonably priced and very good service.
Amazing quality large portion best cheese n mushroom omelette I've had with loads of freshly fried chips ooh and a salad . Great pot of English breakfast tea to accompany... Was just over a tenner , beautiful surroundings genuinely friendly people that care about what they produce on a plate for you . Can't wait to pay them a return visit. I'm a hungry large person this did the trick
Absolutely amazing breakfast! Delicious food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. My friends and I had the best time can't wait to go back! Thank you so much
