Reviews of Coffee Saloon

It's a lovely place to get a nice coffee (a wonderful hot chocolate with creme in my case) after getting out of the water at Branksome Chine beach. After doing a water sport for an hour and half or so, it feel like getting into heaven! They have a fair variety of cakes to combine with your drink also, even hand-made ones. It's nothing posh, but definitely, it's cosy and the stuff are friendly. What else do you need to spent some time with your mates after a good working out in the water. Ah! Easy and free parking on the side/lateral road always seen to be available. Thanks for reading and enjoy your hot drink!

I’m going to be honest, I don’t like coffee. Or at least that’s what I say to people, considering what 99% of people consider to be coffee. From your instant Kencos, to your filter coffees, Nespresso pods or even your high-street Starbucks, Caffe Nero’s and Coffee Ones, it all tastes like different varieties of burnt marmite to me. But then there is that 1% of what us coffee snobs would consider “proper coffee”. You can make it yourself at home with some effort, a cafetière or an aeropress, the right beans, a coffee grinder, a kettle that heats up the water to 80°c specifically. A milk frother if you want a latte - it’s a whole process that I do not bother with as there’s too much clean-up to deal with. Once in a blue-moon you will find a location that serves this “proper coffee”. Coffee Saloon is one of these places. The fiancée and I used to go to the one in Westbourne fairly regularly and were devastated when it closed down recently. The staff there were super chill and friendly and the lattes are a solid 10/10. This morning I found myself making the trip all the way to Poole just so I can have a Coffee Saloon latte. Thankfully the coffee’s here are just as good as the ones in the Westbourne branch. If this place were to ever close down I will commit ritual seppuku. It’s so hard to find these spots that actually know what they’re doing when it comes to coffee.

We love this coffee shop. Always friendly service from the staff, and the lattes/flat white are first class. Reasonably priced for the area and a good selection of tasty snacks to go with your coffee (we've tried quite a few). Location ideal for picking up drinks before a beach walk. Always helpful when I bring the pram in, too! Highly recommend

We’re fanatical about this place. Every time we come down there it’s the first place we head. Muffins are amazing as is the banana bread which we still can’t get the recipe for!! 😀 Coffee obviously is lovely and good mix of options. Staff are just lovely and super nice with our kids. All round just a good vibe, good place to chat to locals and we hope they open more but near us! And ASAP! Thanks guys

Nice and cosy. Loved the coffee. Small place but the pleasant and friendly staff makes it a rich experience. I also liked the vintage interior. Highly recommended and will definitely visit then again. The garden in the back is icing on the cake. Oh, dog friendly too. A Sunday morning excuse if you're after a splendid avocado sandwich.
