The staff were super nice and friendly. This place could be exceptional with a few tweaks: Cook the breakfast to order. To charge almost £13 for a breakfast, I would expect it to be cooked fresh. Everything on the plate was precooked and reheated, which is weird as it wasn't busy at all. It also arrived covered in oil, similar to a typical buffet breakfast. It was unpleasant. I'd prefer to wait for a freshly cooked breakfast, than 5 mins for reheated, precooked, borderline inedible food. Source local produce. At the very least the bacon, eggs and sausage should be good quality, locally sourced produce when charging London prices. The eggs were cheap (a light yellow colour), the sausages were the cheap, chippy type sausages and the bacon was so overly done it was tasteless and beyond dry, it was splintered. Clean restaurant. This place was quite dirty and could do with a deep clean. There was inches of dust hanging from these very strange ceiling beams (left over floor boards randomly hanging). The toilet area was awful, having to squeeze past an open window covered in dust and a very untidy cleaning area.
This place was such a disappointment. We were so looking forward to an epic breakfast but instead left feeling rather ill. The one good part was the two female staff who were friendly and welcoming. This place could be exceptional but failed miserably to...

The quality of the food was excellent and they even let me swap mushrooms (which i dislike) for something else which not many places do and that was a pleasant surprise. Good and affordable prices, very unique place. If you live in bournemouth and haven't been there I do not know what you are doing with your time! Very convenient location situated next to a car park, I don't write many reviews but this place most definitely...
Read moreA hidden gem of a family-run café! We stopped by Norwegian Wood Café for brunch and were genuinely blown away. I had the deluxe brunch and my wife went for the cheese omelette—both dishes were beautifully presented, generously portioned, and absolutely delicious. The bacon in my brunch was perfectly crisped, eggs spot on, and everything tasted fresh and lovingly cooked.
Special shoutout to Tara, who is clearly a brilliant cook! You can taste the care and quality in every bite. Warm atmosphere, attentive service, and real heart behind the food. A perfect local spot for a relaxing, satisfying brunch. Highly...
