Cafes & Delis

From a tea bus to a terrace overlooking the sea, if you’re looking for somewhere to grab a hot drink and a light bite, there’s no shortage of options here in Bournemouth. Our cafés, coffee shops, delis, and tea rooms are dotted all around the resort, so if you’re looking for somewhere to hold an informal business meeting or an impromptu stop between shops, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

As well as coffee shops in Bournemouth’s bustling town centre, there are rustic brasseries and delicatessens lining the stylish suburban streets of our coastal villages. So, even if you’re not on a mission to shop ‘til you drop and you’re simply popping out for a few essentials, you can catch up with a friend over a Ceylon blend or an Assam roast. While Bournemouth’s cosmopolitan vibe lends itself to the continental café culture in the town itself, there are plenty of places dotted along our award winning beachfront so you can sit back, relax, and drink in our sea views.

Bournemouth’s Victorian heritage has inspired coffee shops and tea rooms to spring up in period properties with cosy décor and plush interiors. While our growing population of foreign language, arts, and media students means that ever more stylish and contemporary venues are setting up across the resort, with clean lines and minimal fuss, these spaces are conducive to stimulating the minds of our young creatives.

If you’re craving your ‘go-to’ high street favourite, you’ll find the biggest high street and global brands throughout the town. Or, if you’re keen to immerse yourself in the local way of life, you can try something new from one of our independent, Bournemouth-based suppliers. There are also some quirky locations and even mobile venues for a taste of something different, all perfect choices for a celebration or special occasion.
