Cafe Boscanova in Bournemouth

Always love to visit Boscanova, beautiful cozy atmosphere, big portions and very tasty, hearty vegan food :)

It is always enjoyable to visit, great for kids and staff have always been friendly.

Best English breakfast in town, quality super and excellent customer service

Llegué aquí poco antes de Navidad con mi pareja y nuestro cachorro para una pequeña cita y café caliente. En primer lugar, las vibraciones aquí son inmaculadas, súper acogedoras y frías. Huele fuertemente a buen café. En segundo lugar, el personal era tan acogedor, que suele ser extraño en boscombe. Mi compañero tenía una niebla de Londres, que era completamente nuevo para mí, pero delicioso. Tenía un chai sucio que es un chai latte con expreso. Genio! También coge el pan de plátano. Era tan esponjoso y agradable y tenía un poco de sal marina crujiente allí con mantequilla de arce batida. Lush Oh también como se ha dicho amigo de los perros, le traje un poco de agua, una salchicha y un montón de scritches c: lugar encantador, echa un vistazo!

Lovely friendly place. Great coffee and lovely fresh food reasonably priced. Recommend it.

Such a lovely brunch spot, staff were super friendly and very attentive. We ordered the avo toast and the price was so reasonable for the amount given, we ended up ordering an extra place of toast for the amount of avocado received. The coffees were so lovely with a variety of alternative milks and syrups available. A very cosy and clean location and would recommend a visit.

Loved it, not my 1st visit. But always good. I just had a cuppa and toast. Staff super friendly.

Best cafe in the UK, stunning coffee, Great food, love this place.

Gorgeous little cafe with really friendly and helpful staff. Lots of vegan and gluten free choices.

Happy staff Chilled vibe Good quality products 10/10 breakfast

Perfect place to enjoy a delicious Full English Breakfast!!

Great breakfast service and atmosphere

Great vibes, great food and great coffee! 😊🥞☕️

Waiting for 45 mins for my order is way too long !!! Plus I didn’t like the fact that other customers had to squeeze past you to get to their table Sort the seating please ! Wouldn’t recommend !

You really can't go wrong here! The food is always amazing, and the service is on point. I will definitely be returning.

Fantastic place to dine, great healthy food, happy to swap items and very considerate of dietary requirements

Lovely little cosy vibe friendly staff delicious and good sized cappuccino and the food

Had my first taste of Cafe Bosconova today, and enjoyed every mouthful...avo on sourdough toast with poached egg, followed by slice of banana loaf, warmed and served with a delicious brandy butter. Forget Costa, and the rest....I will be returning to Cafe Bosconova in the near future!

Cafe Boscanova serves amazing pancakes and their apple juice is really fresh and tasty. Highly recommend!

Cozy little place with a great atmosphere. Food was delicious and coffee was awesome.

Siempre vengo aquí cuando me alojo en Bournemouth, pero estaba tan decepcionado esta vez alrededor de la tarta de patata no tenía ningún sabor en absoluto y las judías horneadas tampoco tenían sabor y simplemente sabía muy barato. Las tortitas y el café seguían siendo muy buenos

Best coffeeshop is Bournemouth bar none. The coffee is always excellent and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. There is also a nice community of regulars that add to the feel-good vibes when popping in.

Staying over in Bournemouth for the weekend so came here for a good morning breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed, lovely culture and good food! Tried the London Fog and it actually surprised me - a one of a kind drink!

Fantástico café local con personal súper amable y atento, deliciosa comida y un ambiente frío pero vibrante que se siente bienvenido al instante. En un domingo por la mañana puede que tengas que esperar una mesa ya que están super ocupados, pero vale la pena esperar. Mi marido y yo fuimos por el inglés completo, el producto era de gran calidad con todo el sabor, cocina muy bien y servida con una sonrisa, no te puedes equivocar. ¡Volveremos a por las tortitas!

Fantastic local cafe with super friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and a chilled yet vibrant atmosphere that you feel welcome in instantly. On a Sunday morning you may have to wait for a table as they are super busy but it’s worth the wait. My husband and I both went for the Full English, the produce was of great quality with full flavour, cook very well and served with a smile, you can’t go wrong. We will be back for the pancakes next!

Not from the area but was looking for a breakfast/brunch spot. Food was tasty. One of the orders (the special of the day) came out burnt, BUT the staff were all friendly and attentive to rectify the 2nd time. Would be nice to see some more sausage and Bacon alternatives for those that don't eat pork. Overall a nice experience - would recommend.

Fantastic breakfast for 4 amazing coffee and great service! 🙏

Everything is perfect. Very nice service and the food is high quality.

A lovely place, I was very impressed. It was fantastic to be able to have gluten free pancakes as it's not often you find it. Look forward to come back and try other dishes!

Increíble desayuno en la cafetería, gran servicio y una selección realmente interesante de comida y bebida. Gran lugar para que la gente vea también!

Paramos a desayunar un lunes por la mañana y encontramos este café que parecía completamente fuera de lugar para un lugar con tan mala reputación como Boscombe. El servicio fue muy amable y a diferencia de nosotros, ambos optamos por el desayuno vegano. Fue nada menos que impresionante en términos de sabor. Después de haber comido alimentos veganos bien cocinados durante largos períodos de tiempo mientras trabajaba con activistas ecológicos internacionales de acción directa que contaban con chefs veganos profesionales, es seguro señalar que este desayuno está allí con los mejores, a nivel mundial. No te decepcionarás. Vaya a Boscmbe solo para esta experiencia de café si nada más. Gracias a todo el personal y en particular al chef!

Just visited the escape room which was a street away and as always on the hunt for good coffee....Googled best coffee near me and literally was across the road. Visited on the strength of the great reviews. Lovely friendly and attentive service, loved the funky interior and lots of information relating to coffee.....Great menu and fab to see lots of veggie and vegan options....really enjoyed.

This is probably the best venue in Boscombe. Menus are imaginative and varied. Food quality is fresh and faultless and the service is fantastic. Sylvie in particular is an extremely professional and friendly individual who is making a great effort here with the customers. Her bubbly and likeable character is matched by her efficiency and attention she gives people. This is a very nice place to stop for coffee, breakfast or lunch. There is a dish for everyone here regardless of your tastes. Also ha e a good veggie menu. If you are in Boscombe this is well worth a visit and it is surprisingly well priced too especially for a high street outlet. Nice to sit outside if weather allows but also has a nice atmosphere inside too. We simply can't fault this place!

In Boscombe, you won't find better than this. Last went some years ago and was in the area again so popped in for lunch. It's just as good as I remember. Great menu, lots of specials, staff are on it. Fortunately I was early so it wasn't too busy but it did fill up while I was there. Not a big place but worth the wait if they have to queue you. I'd go just for the proper freshly squeezed, right there on the premises, Orange Juice. A delight. Let's face it, Boscombe isn't a great place and over the last few years has got worse. This cafe has kept going and is worthy of your support. Well done to them.

The atmosphere was great, the food was excellent and the service was absolutely second to none.

Attended with my vegan friend Alex for lunch

Great coffee great food great atmosphere and really nice with the dogs - offered them water straight away Thanks so much

I had some breakfast and coffee some days ago. It was a great experience, I will return soon.

I came here recently and there was a wait to enter the premises, they operated by taking your number and then calling you when a table was free. I ordered a vegan breakfast, I thought it was good how you could exchange items you didn’t want for something else as usually when I remove items and exchange them in other venues it adds on a charge. The food was nice however the beans were stone cold, they geninely seemed like they had been taken straight from the can without being heated. I was a bit confused about the vegan bacon which was literally cold dried coconut with seasoning- something I have never been served anywhere as a vegan of 7 years! I would love it if in future there could be some vegan / vegetarian meat substitutes as I plan on coming back in future. The main highlight was the fact the staff were absolutely glowing humans, all so chatty and friendly. Took the time out to come and chat to me as well as every single person who came in and out of the venue, I saw them going out of their ways to open the door for people coming in and out and just over all smiley kind staff, especially the waitress with the brown hair and bob - who made my visit! They made nothing seem too much hassle and the fact that they all showed so much kindness with their service made me want to come back in future

Very, very popular for Sunday brunch! But once you do get seated you can see why. The food was delicious and so was the coffee.

I haven't been to this place in years, loved my last experience.but even though the coffee was good, I was shocked at the price, the mugs were like builders mugs with chips all around the bottom of the mugs, my fault, I should have read the menu properly and wouldn't have had such a shock, it fact I would have had tea alot cheaper, my Latte with oat milk was £4.25 ( surly posh restaurant prices) and my son's Americano £3.30. I thought the place looked cheap and cheerful, I usually go to places that look a lot classier and have comfortable chairs that don't catch your clothes on the splintered chairs, and don't charge that sort of price, I am a pensioner and even though the menu looked tempting there's no way I can afford to go back,

Popped in for a bit of lunch. Waitresses very welcoming. Had a coffee & poached eggs & bacon on avocado on sourdough toast. Food was very good. Cafe is very nice.

This was our first time here, we both went for the specials. The food was so good. I can highly recommend the sticky peanut and tofu wrap and the peanut butter blondie, absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!

Very good vegan food, great staff, friendly and very efficient. Huge portions (great)!

Wonderful breakfast had to come back the next day! This cafe had a lovely variety for meat eaters, vegans and gluten free. Great prices, amazing food and an all around cute place to be. Staff are all so friendly and welcoming and help you find a seat once you enter. You can have food/drinks to eat in or take away and the service is fast too. Perfect vegan/gluten free find when you’re staying in bournemouth❤️

Yes! Vegan breakfast was lovely, would definitely eat and drink here again. Staff friendly and a nice buzz, quirky decor.

Great food, friendly staff well organized, prompt service, crowded but pleasantly busy, defo will come back!

Here's a top tip: When a customer is placing a takeout order and it takes double the time specified perhaps don't leave the coffee sitting around and being lukewarm! Also, getting the cutlery is right is quite important, apparently there is something called a knife and it goes with a fork!

Great food, stingy on portion, only 1 slice of toast on an order of avocado on toast. With the fry up its 2 slices of thin streaky bacon. So I ordered extra bacon, so 5er for bacon alone, bumpz up price of a brekky (small) to near on 15quid. I saw a review say best coffee they had in the UK! Well, the coffee is slightly better than costa and I can honestly say there's better coffee for sale within a 2 min walk from there. I'm not trying to badmouth bn, but I will say it's a Shoreditch wannabe, hipster centric, drinking out of jam jar vibes and it's massively overpriced. 4:50 for a tomato juice cos they whack a bit of celery init. All that being said I'll still go there, so im part of the problem!

One of my favourite Cafès in Bournemouth, if you're lucky enough to get a table, it's definitely worth the wait. Freshly cooked healthy breakfasts, served with a friendly smile. What's not to love?

Love it, pancakes are superior and staff are lovely

Do not bother. Waited 45 minutes for a table then a further 40 minutes for food. It wasn't even worth the wait. Wish we'd gone elsewhere.

My favourite cafe in the area! We’ve been here several times now, and the staff are always friendly, the food is always top notch, and it’s got a lovely informal, funky vibe. Please open another one on Southbourne Grove!

Nice welcoming staff and good food

Very welcoming and good food. Not a lot of options on the menu and a big emphasis on veganism which I do not approve of. Very loyal customers though. The call back system for a table works well.

Really friendly service, great food at fair prices.

Really, great quality food and impressively efficient, friendly service. I arrived at peak brunch time on a Saturday, and it was full. The woman on the door took my phone number and called me when a table was ready, which worked really well. Once I was seated, there were multiple people offering to take my order at regular intervals. I really liked that because often, as a solo diner, I get forgotten, or if I'm not ready to order straight away, I have to wait for ages for someone to come back. I ordered the avo toast with a poached egg and sausage. Even though the place was packed, it turned up quickly, was nicely presented and and very tasty. Overall, this is a fantastic place that I will definitely go to again in the future. There's a reason why this place is busy, and it's well worth the wait.

OMG - this is my favourite cafe. The food is always exceptional, staff are friendly, helpful and makes sure you have what you want. We are regulars here in the weekend and the vibe is awesome. Very clean healthy food.

If an Italian wants to have an English breakfast without surprises he absolutely must go there, excellent food, friendly and fast service, excellent prices.....a great surprise

Went there for a breakfast. It was probably one of the best english breakfast we have had in a very long time. Big portions, with a proper sourdough bread and fresh ingredients. Also, great coffee too and very charming place 😊

Always good, always very friendly staff, food always tasty and the coffee great. If you’ve never been you should! It’s a little different, a little funky, a little different but awesome!! In fact, don’t go! I don’t want it to be so busy I can’t get a table 😂😂

Wonderful place to come in Boscombe to get great food & drinks. All the staff are so welcoming and very accommodating for our little dog too. Will be back again!

Went Last week with some friends and would highly recommend great food and excellent coffee. Staff were friendly and very knowledgeable with the menu. Will definitely be back.

Best vegetarian English breakfast in Bournemouth!

Really disappointed been here a few years ago and was great so wanted to take family for breakfast/brunch but saw online on their website no bookings. Arrived and it was fairly quiet clearly about 3 free tables and a big group just left. We're told we couldn't have any of the free tables but could call us in 30 minutes. Very odd and didn't make sense. Maybe it was personal and we didn't look right or something?! I wouldn't visit again on this basis a real shame.

Came for a coffee an hour before closing time and was barked at the moment I got in there by the lady ‘you taking away’? As we tried to enjoy our coffees once sat, she kept staring at us and we became uncomfortable and were made to feel unwelcome and she just wanted us out so she could get out.

The best breakfast we've found around Bournemouth, I can see why there's often a queue for a table. So worth it though! The service was lovely and attentive, and the food super fresh. We're looking forward to bringing friends here when they visit next week.

I’ve been to Boscanova so many times, and every single time the food is a 10/10 The cafe is super chilled in terms of the environment, but the food is faultless. The quality is amazing, portion sizes great, and it always comes out super hot. We’re really harsh critics of breakfasts, and there aren’t many food places in Bournemouth! A must visit if you want to not be disappointed 😄

Food was lovely. Service was really rude and disappointing. After we had finished our food (but still had drinks left) we we asked if we’d like the bill or to order more. We didn’t want to do either. We were then asked 5 minutes later if we were ordering more items which we declined. Then, 5 minutes later again we were asked if we’d like the bill. It was obvious we were being pushed out as the waitress was standing over us with the card reader in hand. I’m get it’s a popular spot, but being pressured to leave is incredibly rude.

I love the food here they welcoming to family and have warm greeting staff, and they get your food to hot and fast even when they are busy

Lovely little warm friendly place with a nice vibe ; ) Been on a couple of occasions and always enjoyed the food !

Lovely quirky little place ! Had a lovely coffee and delicious breakfast. The place was really busy and i felt bad taking up a table for 4 when there was only me, however the staff were super friendly and didn’t make me feel rushed. I will definitely return x

Fantastic service and delicious quality food. LOVED the Christmas baguette with the pig in blankets - so good! Highly recommend.

Terrible service. Dirty cutlery and plates. Latte came in a mug with a lipstick print on it- disgusting

We sometimes come here for breakfast, the staff is super friendly, breakfast is always good

To the rude girl that just told me to wait outside for my drink... If I say no I'm OK as it's raining out, then you say, "cool, no worries I totally get that".... NOT a very long OOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKK with attitude and confusion in your voice... Your attitude today was unacceptable. If customer service is not your thing then may I suggest you get a different job.

Come and visit the place where pirates rest arrrr👻💚🤏

Very nice place for nice coffee and breakfast, totally recommend 👌 👍 proper service, good quality healthy food 👌

One of our favourite local spots .. always a winner with friends and family when they visit. Cook vibes, great service and the food and drink is always delicious .. love the dirty chai !!

Absolutely best place for a coffee or a bite on Boscombe. Excellent breakfast, coffee baguettes/sandwiches and sweat treats, cake etc. Love this place been coming here for years bit realised I've never left a review! 5 stars all round, highly recommended 👌 🙏

Best cafe in Bournemouth hands down! Top 3 coffee places I have ever visited in the world

Best breakfast and coffee place.

Very tasty breakfast, very good coffee, very nice service. And most importantly, the place is open from 8 a.m., which gives it an advantage over other places. I will definitely go back there for another meal.

Great service. Very friendly staff that tried to look after our needs despite being a busy day (weekend). The pancakes were delicious, although I'd rather have my coffee bit hot and on time with the food. Overall, it was a good experience. Will visit again soon.

I had a vegan breakfast.. which I would go back to eat again.. and again... decent size, fresh , and delishous... the staff were all really nice and attentive.. and I loved that they used no fake meat substitutes.. I'm not knocking them, it was just a nice change... well done

Hospitality at this establishment was excellent the food however was very disappointing and over priced… We had researched best breakfasts in Bournemouth as we were visiting for the weekend and found this restaurant. To be fair the photos we had seen of the food looked really good. However, when our plates of the meat breakfast option arrived we weren’t very impressed. The hash brown was like mash potato in the middle of the plate - if you like hash browns as your favourite part of a fry up you’d be bitterly disappointed. The sausage was pretty tasteless… the extras were extortionate. For example black pudding - £3.50! The coffee is served in big heavy mugs. Not nice for something like a cappuccino… I would try somewhere else if I were to ever visit Bournemouth again…

Going to be bold and say it's probably the best coffee I've had in the UK. I'm Australian and a coffee snob :P it's really very good! The staff are always lovely

Service excellent especially as we had a little one with us

Great choices especially for vegetarians, portions sizes are great, food is really tasty. Would definitely recommend the vegetarian breakfast (apart from the potatoes), friends had the meat version which looked great as did the baguettes. Juices were delicious and coffee spot in. Only downside is the wait for tables but that shows how popular it is.

Хапнахме авокадо тост и багета с халуми,наистина впечатляваща храна. А и кафето определено е едно от най добрите в Борнемут.

Love this place Highly recommend for anyone as best cafe in the boscombe area

Always consistent, always spot on, always such a lovely experience, my favourite eating destination!

Awesome, we’ll worth the visit. Great vibe

We visited here twice on our weekend stay.. 1st we had breakfast and pancakes! Absolutely amazing (more nuttella maybe but I'm greedy) coffee is amazing. 2nd visit 2 breakfasts and I swear it was so yummy. The service was great. Such lovely women working there! Gave us a recommendation to go to a beach where she grew up and we enjoyed our last day there! Will 100% be coming back again!

Great coffee and delicious brownie

This place is amazing everything fresh❤️❤️

Loved the vegetarian breakfast here, it was so lovely to be able to eat one that didn't rely on fake meat and used normal vegetarian items instead. The service was great and our food came out quickly, the staff are very sweet. I would definitely come here again.

Really good for anyone with allergies!!
