OH and I chanced upon this gem halfway through our holiday, while visiting Christchurch. It was a…read morewindy grey day and the haberdashery I'd gone to visit had shut up shop, the museums we wanted to visit were closed. We turned a corner and found the Inside Out Coffee Co. OH ordered a double espresso and I had a black Americano on our first visit. The drinks cost £3 together. You pay at the counter indoors and the staff bring your order to you. There are tables and chairs out the front of the shop. They were clean. We were served by a man who appeared to enjoy his job, possibly in his early 40's, skinhead and tattoos, which made him an alternative breath of fresh air. Very polite and helpful man. Our second visit of the day involved going back for a 'Proper chip buttie'. Thick cut bread, white or brown, buttered with chips. All condiments are freely available on the side of each table. There is a toilet cubicle up a flight of stairs which was kept very clean and with a supply of toilet roll. I enjoyed the coat hook on the back of the door. We enjoyed it so much, we drove all the way from the place near Mudeford that we were staying to sample the cooked breakfast the following morning. I ordered the 'Bumper' (£6) cooked breakfast, OH ordered the 'Bumper Bumper' (£7) breakfast. Mine consisted of two double sausages, two bacon, fried mushrooms, beans, potato discs and two slices of buttered toast. I also ordered a pot of mint tea and he bought it out with extra hot water. The 'Bumper Bumper' breakfast consisted of three double sausage, 5 bacon and everything I had in my breakfast in the same quantities. The decor is of 60's origin, with posters of the Beatles, The Who, etc on the walls, and the Mamas and The Papas, Beach Boys and Kinks playing through the speakers as back ground music. There were 5 or 6 tables inside the cafe, seating from 2 to 4 people. The counter display looked really appetising with sausage rolls, teacakes, other cakes to be purchased by the slice. Everything was clean. The prices are reasonable, the coffee is good. We enjoyed our visit and will certainly pop in again in the future if we happen to be passing through.

Feel free to wander round the delightful well laid out garden. Sit and enjoy the beautiful bouquet from the roses. Dedicated team of gardeners. Top off your visit with a cream tea, scone jam and cream, with a pot of tea or a very naughty slice of chocolate cake. Very friendly staff and good facilites for those with mobility issues. Plenty of free parking.

We had a pot of Assam tea and scones with jam and butter, all very nice with jams and scones being home-made. We sat outside as it was sunny but the indoors part look very nice and there was an art exhibition on.

This place was snuggled in the middle on town - and it was here that I had some of the BEST clotted cream tea ever! The service was excellent, this place was very quaint and clean, and there's an outside patio too. Before arriving here we had sampled clotted cream tea at a few other places, but when we tried it here it was excellent - a cut above the rest. The quality was superb. Definitely one of the most memorable and enjoyable places I visited during my tour of England, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this town and their lovely tea room and restaurant.

My husband and I stumbled across this darling little place while out "rambling" in the New Forest…read morelast weekend. It's an old railway station and the walls are filled with old vintage railway paraphernalia; everything that accounts for it being "cute" and "quaint". The food is very good. We only got some baguettes and chips so nothing ground breaking (hence the 4 stars) but it certainly hit the spot after wandering around in the fresh air of the forest. I highly recommend the Twice-Cooked Sleeper Chips. They're fantastic! My husband had a cappuccino and he gave it a thumbs up (I don't drink coffee so you'll have to take his word for it). We also got some carrot cake and a piece of Millionaire's Shortbread to-go. We ate them later that afternoon and again: delicious! I suggest going and maybe trying something more interesting than the egg mayo baguette I ordered. While very tasty, they've got loads of other delicious sounding dishes on the menu such as gourmet burgers, free range omelettes and full English breakfasts. My whole family is coming over next year to visit the UK and my husband and I soundly decided that we will be bringing them out to the Station House so they can enjoy a truly English dining experience out in the very picturesque New Forest.

It is a happening joint on every evenings, and the Tapas Tuesdays are a must: any three tapas disshes plus a glass of wine, £8/person.

In all this is one place not to be missed if you are coming through Southbourne, or even staying there during summer.

Not everyone will like everything so you have to go there at least twice to know what you like. My friends didn't like their drink the first time that they went but when I went with them they chose a different one and it was a game changer. I had mango fruit tea with blueberry juice balls. Also, they do seasonal drinks so I can't wait to go there at Halloween! 10/10, 5 stars. Definitely one of the places you should go to before you die. Note: you should choose what you want before you go in because there will be a queue of people waiting and the staff need to have a fast moving line. +expect to wait 5-10 mins for your drink or food, maybe 15 on a busy day max because they make everything fresh and always have a lot of orders!!

Super impressed with this place…read more The main things I enjoyed about it was the ease of variety, and how they've used their space. The menu is broad without being complicated, messy, or overwhelming. Everything is really well organised and they've done a great job of advertising their range of products. Bubble tea is their staple seller but they also offer frozen yogurt with a choice of chocolatey/sweety and fruity toppings, and tear and share waffles. Savoury stuff is available too! You'll find Ramen noodles and Gyoza dumplings on he menu if the sweet stuff isn't quite doing it for you. This time, I opted for a pear green tea with mixed blueberry and cherry bubbles. Never tried the pear before and it was lovely. Slightly sweeter and a little more artificial tasting than I'm used to, though. Like I said, I really enjoy how they've used the space. The unit is really long, kind of white washed throughout including the wooden floorboards which gives it a mega bright and spacious feel and there's ample and varied seating before and after the serving counter. I feel like they've made the space really interactive which is great! Even though I was kinda in a rush, Yobu makes you take the time to appreciate it. There's a little wall of fame/fandom dedicated to its customers, a book case, some cute trinkets dotted around, and leaflets about the local area. I'd love to go back if I'm around B'mouth again! Frozen yogurt next time!
