Popped in for a coffee and a bacon roll on my way back to Lymington from Southampton. Easy free parking and the biggest bacon bap ever. So much so I had to take some home with me. Lovely small cafe with a great atmosphere and fab service. I will return.

Popped in for breakfast when staying at Ashurst campsite. Service was really friendly, breakfast baps were made fresh and the cafe was really clean

Small but perfectly formed little cafe. Spotlessly clean and really welcoming. We ordered rolls to go and made it a very busy morning as there were already people sitting in but nothing was too much trouble for the lovely cafe owner and even the other customers were friendly - a great atmosphere. More importantly one of the best bacon rolls I have ever had. Massive, well priced and so so tasty. Honest fare, well served.

Food was delicious, i ordered coffee, a bap and a millionaires slice, all of that for under £10. The bap was freshly made in front of me and was full of filling, made to exactly how i like it. Nothing was too much trouble. The cakes were made locally too

Best bacon bap I've had for 24 years. Truth! And the most adorable owner and friendliest atmosphere. Super sweet to my dogeven a doggy treat jar was served with my hot, perfectly brewed cuppa. 100% faultless and will definitely make an excuse to return. Must mention the excellent old fashioned prices too. My hot, perfect tea and large, fresh baked bap with a generous amount of tasty bacon crisped to perfection was only £7, Heinz ketchup... Everything spotlessly clean. It was more than good food, and good service, and fine company, it was... truly lovely! and it made my simple walk in Ashurst into a memory that'll make me smile each time I think about it.

Tasty food, friendly service, very welcoming, clean and tidy. Lots of filling in our baguettes and my husbands breakfast bap, would highly recommend. Will go back when next in the area.

Fantastic food. Ordered the breakfast bap and it was packed with sausage, bacon and eggs. Really generous portions and great customer service. Didn't realise that they allow dogs as I would have brought mine. Totally recommend this x
