Disappointed- the bacon/avocado sandwich was huge so I didn’t have space for the rocky road! Fantastic sandwich, really good coffee and when I find space for the rocky road I’m sure it’ll taste as amazing as it looks. Quirky place, nice staff, I’m only visiting but Lymington is v lucky to have this alternative to the bland coffee chains so please support it!

Beautiful traditional tea/coffee shop, with lots of food items and gifts to buy. Popped in for a coffee and a treat and according to my lovely Mum "the most delicious" gluten free victoria sponge cake. Would highly recommend and return.

Booked for afternoon tea and it didn't disappoint! Gorgeous little gem and will definitely be returning. Fresh sandwiches, fantastic selection of homemade cakes, scones, sausage rolls and quiche! Excellent service, clean and tidy and very friendly staff. Thank you for making our afternoon special!

Egg sandwich was very nice but it’s a tea room without any toilets which makes it hard to recommend as a place to chill out. They also charged me £1 more than it said an egg sandwich costed on the board. However the bread was as fresh as you could possibly get and the egg mix and tomato combo was very nice.

Very friendly, welcoming staff. Ordered a hot chocolate and fruit scone. "Have the trimmings" said the server, so I did! On such a wet and windy day so nice. Loved the mismatched crockery.
