Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Sandbanks

"Bill’s Southampton restaurant is in a fantastic location and provides a welcome escape from shopping. Feeling both urban and cosy, it's the perfect place for great food all day and into the night."

"The location of Urban Reef is the closest you can get to the lapping waves before having an actual picnic. It is my favourite within a small, but lovingly nurtured, group of restaurants known as the Urban Guild. All about nourishing, sharing and embracing, it’s the perfect setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the sunshine (all of which can be ordered off of the dedicated vegan menu) and they work with as much local and seasonal produce as they can, so you know it’s fresh."

"This restaurant’s idyllic beachfront setting means that diners here can enjoy a breathtaking vista over Boscombe Promenade and across Bournemouth Bay during their meal. Feel at one with the natural landscape as you tuck into one of Urban Reef’s delicious breakfasts. The sundeck is located right on the promenade, so diners truly feel a part of the natural landscape."

"Urban Reef is one unmissable place to eat, thanks to its stunning views of Bournemouth Bay, the Isle of Wight and beyond. Offering everything from light breakfasts and brunches through to romantic diners and takeaway pizza, it's got all you need under one roof."

"A spin-off from Boscombe veteran Cafe Boscanova, South Coast Roast is part third-wave coffee shop, part bright-eyed cult (everything's "awesome"; the beef sandwich will, apparently, change your life). It certainly justifies its self-confidence on the coffee front. A flat white (£2.50) was superb."

"Cool cups of locally roasted coffee await you at South Coast Roast. To complement their caffeinated offerings, this independent café also has an enticing breakfast and lunch menu made from locally sourced food suppliers. Their brunch menu is also quite impressive!"

"Whether you own a bar, restaurant, pub, club, private hire space, pop-up and/or run events, you can take advantage of our full suite of products. Explore one or more from the below."

"This is a big, busy space, with kitsch walls decorated with everything from vintage lamps to disembodied dolls' heads smoking cigarettes. Its massive menu is a little bewildering but essentially breaks down into a canteen-style counter of hot and cold dishes, and the usual cafe fare of soups, jacket spuds, sandwiches and, a Flirt speciality, topped waffles. My samples from the hot food were, like Flirt itself, a bit odd."

"Kitsch interiors and fascinating furnishings have made Flirt into the favourite watering hole of Bournemouth’s artsy crowd. Retro decor, the unique menu and ambient lighting from vintage lamps create an interesting and trendy atmosphere. The seats at Flirt is largely recycled, with some aeroplane chairs in a past life."

"From traditional English breakfasts to American waffles, the Duck has all the brunch classics you crave. Settled in the heart of urban shopping village, Westbourne, this place has a cool vibe and serves up all the avocado and eggs benedict you can eat. Boasting feel good vibes, a contemporary, cosy atmosphere and the potential to have midday mimosas, this is for sure a worthy member of the best brunch in Bournemouth’s hall of fame."

"Set just paces away from grand Christchurch Priory, Soho Lifestyle is a welcoming and stylish restaurant-café serving up lovingly prepared treats from breakfast through to after-dinner cocktails."
