Well worth popping into the Projest Climbing Centre for an awesome Lookout Cafe brownie. They and all the cakes are delicious along with the best coffee I have tasted for some time. The staff are jolly and friendly and there is plenty of places to sit soft and relax. You can even enjoy looking out onto the climbing walls and watch others do the hard work. Well done Lookout Cafe.
The food is really good, probably one of the best options in Poole. It would be great if more people knew you were here!
Gaby the owner of The Lookout Cafe was very helpful today π€ I am Coeliac & it's very difficult for me to find a place for lunch. I am still struggled to find "A Cafe/Restaurant with nice atmosphere & good quality + quantity food" (even in 18 years that I have been living in UK, things have been improved a little bit) until today when I came across with this LOVELY CAFE. I chose a gluten-free "Chickpea & Leek" Soup. It was delicious, warm & very tasty π following with a Lovely Capuccino & a gluten-free Orange & Polenta Cake (My Spanish Aunty used to make this cakd for my family but especially for my sister & me as we both are coeliac). Highly recommended for all the good reasons: Fantastic food (quality, quantity & affordable) and fantastic staff. Well done to everyone. I will definately coming back very soon πβππ²ππ°π
Always love coming to the lookout cafe after climbing. It's a great place, even if you're not a climber. A wide selection of teas and cakes, the fruit flapjack is delicious. Their home cooked dinners like chilli's, soups and curry are delicious and there is always variety with vegetarian options (and increasingly vegan too).
The atmosphere itself is lovely, often quiet it's a great place to take yourself away for a quiet lunch or to go to read and drink tea. They have a selection of boardgames and books to keep people entertained.
The coffee is good and not too expensive and the home made soups are lovely! It's not usually very busy and it has a great view over the project climbing centre so you can watch people climbing while you have a break. Only problem with it is if you have kids the lift doesn't go all the way to the cafe level so you will need help with any prams you may have.
Secret space right beside Poole Central Library and above the bus station. Great coffee, a huge range of speciality teas and the most delicious home-made-on-the-premises food you've ever tasted.
You don't have to be a climber or member to enjoy the views of the climbing rolls through the floor to ceiling glass.
There are comfy sofas, upcycled tables and chairs and a library of books to browse while you enjoy the cool and friendly ambience of this place.
Family run and super friendly, you couldn't ask for a better rest and refuel stop when shopping in Poole's Dolphin centre.
Large open cafe but still cosy with nice sofas and a little book nook. Great for people watching at The Climbing Centre. Lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options, including vegan sausage rolls (they were doing them before Gregs, just sayin'). They always champion local suppliers, including their coffee beans. A great small business run by great staff.
Situated within the project climbing centre the lookout cafe is a small cafe with a very homely feel. Great drinks and great food for a reasonable price. The lookout cafe is a must for anyone looking for a small quiet cafe that opens late in the middle of town.
This is cutest little cafe. It's so cosy and the staff are really friendly. Their selection of tea is really great, can't find another cafe with one like it! It's myfavourite cafe. This place is also great for working on laptops and chilling. They have board games and books you can read too. Definitely recommend.
I love this cafe! The soup is always delicious and the brownies are ridiculous. It has lots of games to play and the place looks really pretty with fairy lights. Always super friendly service too!
I started climbing at the project climbing centre just over a year ago, after I fell in love with the sport and started to become more of a regular. I then found the gem that is the Lookout cafe, just above the gym looking out at all the climbing. Always such a cosy and relaxed atmosphere serving delicious food, and a special menu that changes every week giving you something new to try.
P.S. The humous, falafel and sweet chilli jam wrap is my fave. ;)
The Lookout Cafe is spacious yet heartwarmingly cosy. The menu boasts some of the most delicious "home baked" cakes I have ever tasted in a cafe and the food selections stay in keeping with the home-away-from-home feel.
For all the Lookout's homely charm, it is also an excellent place to hold a meeting or for remote-working. The internet connection is free, and fast enough for most digital nomads. But, for those that need an office space, the "Project Co-working space" is on the same floor where you can pay-as-you-go for a modern workspace with lightning fast wifi.
With a great menu, fantastic and friendly service, The Lookout cafe is my favourite in Poole so far. Top Marks!
