What TauntonBob likes about The Beacon Cafe At St. Mary's:
Popped in for coffees and a toasted teacake for me and a slice of coffee cake for my wife. This is a lovely bright and airy place with some seating outside, also, if the weather is fine. The volunteer staff are lovely; all very friendly. The coffee was good, there was plenty of butter with the teacake and my wife was very well satisfied with her coffee cake. We will definitely be visiting again! View all feedback.

"We visited around 2pm on a Thursday and got a seat for four of us. The service was friendly and relaxed and the menu had a good variety of breakfast and lunch options. We had a couple of toasties, a club and a happy little prints, all made to order. Ratios were perfect and included a fresh seasonal slaw, dressed in balsamic and sesame seeds. Drinks were freshly squeezed orange juice, chai latte and an apple juice. There are a lot of options on places to eat in Westbourne, but I'm glad we found this one and would highly recommend."

"The best pizza and customer service in town. We are regular customer and this Friday we had the wrong pizza given to us. Upon calling the restaurant and explain the situation, they were happy to rectify this. Not only did they deliver the correct pizza, they send both of the pizza that were originally ordered without accepting the other ones back. Excellent customer service, I definitely recommend this place for the best pizza in town."

"First time here and this place just does everything right. Fresh and flavoursome ingredients, friendly staff, fantastic menu choices. The most innovative vegan comfort food I’ve seen or had for a while but the novelty doesn’t eclipse the tastiness. Would give it ten stars. Loved it. Obviously. : Vegetarian options: All vegan vittles. Awesome. Meal type: Lunch"

"Every time I and my best half come to Bournemouth, we come to this coffee shop for a late breakfast. We love the variety of coffees, and other hot drinks, and the cakes are very delicious. The service is also very good, very high. In any case, you come back."
