The best thing about this place is the food, which is terminally average…read more The decor is dismal, the service is mediocre, and whatever charm it may have had in the 1980s has long since vanished. We visited because we'd seen a nice-looking ad in a "Visit the New Forest"-type brochure. But we were deeply disappointed. The decor is gloomy, and the massive teddy bear in the window was probably cute when originally bought but is now just a bit mangy. There's a weird system of attracting the attention of waiting staff by hanging a small wooden teddy on a pole on your table - an explanatory note on the door gives instructions, but there's no real reason for it and if anything it makes the staff less attentive. They don't make eye contact with customers easily. We had some sympathy for them though - they are dolled up in an almost 'Allo 'Allo-style get-up with silly headdresses and aprons. Some explanation may be found in the personality of the manager, who at one point burst out of the kitchen, patronised a teenage boy who had come through to ask whether his family's ice creams were on the way, and didn't wait for an answer to his question "is anybody waiting?" (which we were). He seemed more interested in talking loudly and ignorantly about hospitality than actually doing any, and certainly didn't create a good impression for customers or role model for his staff. When our order arrived, we were still unimpressed. A banana milkshake was mainly warm froth; the cafe latte was metallic and tasted suspiciously like Kenco; the treacle tart was doughy and unappealing and the carrot cake appeared to have had a bite taken out of it before it got to us. So much for an afternoon tea. Anyway, the details are mostly by-the-by. The upshot is that Brockenhurst is a beautiful little town, so don't ruin it with a visit to this shabby, poorly-run, unimaginative and slightly creepy little disappointment.

If you a teddy bear addict stop here. They have many examples for sale. It is a busy café serving above average meals. A lot of the food is made in their own kitchen. It is the sort of place where you can just have a cup of coffee or a tasty lunch, or an afternoon cream tea. The staff are friendly, and there always is a good atmosphere.

The sandwiches are very cheap except they are expensive. And the cakes, are really a bit ropey. Well, I guess these guys have a monopoly and are using the cheapest ingredients they can make and charging a bomb. I don't really respect this kind of attitude frankly, there is no love in it it's just about the money. The banana / nutella milkshakes are good I guess they can't cheat on those ingredients easily.

Nice coffee, and excellent sandwiches to eat in or take away.read more

Went here with 2 friends today. No menu just a poor selction of cakes. Opted for some freshly baked scones (only one each) which turned out to be heavy and so flat we couldn't cut them open. No jam was offered just a roll of butter and the staff seemed totally disinterested. Also ordered 3 cups of tea. Couldn't believe I was charged £21.50 for such a small and poor quality offering. They wont accept cards - just cash. I thought there must be a mistake with the price! We frequent high quality tea shops and live in Oxford now but I have never paid so much for so very little. Don't waste your money or your time. There are better tearooms closeby. Very disappointed....
