The Beacon Cafe at St. Mary's in East Dorset

Fantastic coffee and great service I had a lovely bacon cheese and tomato sandwich, it was delicious and well presented We also ordered a sausage bap , the sausage had really tough skin and was difficult to eat I think they need to source a different sausage. Everything was fresh and cafe was very clean , staff are efficient and pleasant Will definitely return but would order something different. Value for money as well

Very pretty. Has a Cafe open to the public for lunch. Great location for hikes.

Nice church, friendly female vicor. There is also a large cafe there if you just want a coffee and a snack.

One of the best coffees I have ever had. Very friendly people, very nice environment. You can have your coffee and cake just in the woods in the park! If you want to rest for awhile this is the best place. Five stars is too less :)

Everyone is really lovely and the atmosphere is great. I remember when I was younger, my friend and I asked for 1 slice of cake and two forks to share it and they gave us two slices of cake with no extra cost! I go there whenever I can and I have never been disappointed, the volunteers are so lovely and always have a smile on their faces

I always look forward to my regular coffee here. Food and drink is good value and served by willing and friendly volunteer staff. The Covid19 precautions are very well managed by the excellent manager, Paul.

Visited this morning, when there were 6 members of staff working and 7 customers...took over 15 minutes for two pieces of toast! Unsurprisingly the toast was cold but couldn't risk waiting another 15 minutes! Would also be nice if the people working there were able to smile once in a while. Won't be returning.
