Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Weymouth Harbour

"The Oceanarium, located right opposite Bournemouth Pier on the Promenade, is one of the town’s best attractions for kids – and one of the UK’s best aquariums!. Much more impressive than a standard aquarium, it’s home to penguins, sharks, otters, crocodiles, jellyfish, piranhas, stingrays, turtles and much more. It’ll be a real underwater education for you!"

"Boasting a 4.1-star rating on Google from almost 2000 reviews, Urban Reef undeniably has a stellar offering on its menu to go with its impressive location and famous views. Their breakfast menu is served until 11 am, and on it you’ll find their Surf’s Up breakfast featuring Dorset pork & leek sausage, smoked back bacon, two free-range Flambard’seggs, New Forest mushrooms, roasted tomato, baked beans and lovely buttered toast for £8.50, or if you’re in the mood for a treat you can go for a fresh stack of thick and fluffy pancakes topped with real maple syrup and smoked bacon for a mouth-wateringly tasty sweet-and-savoury contrast. As they say on their website: you can’t beat it!"

"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!"

"For food fuel by day, we recommend homemade soups and super sandwiches at Flirt, a perfectly quirky cafe that also sells bubble teas and healthy smoothies. Post-lunch, you can also enjoy a glass of wine. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is also a favourite with groups."

"Every May some 600 free-flying swans choose to nest at this swannery, which shelters in the Fleet Lagoon, protected by the ridge of Chesil Beach. Wandering the network of trails that winds between the swans' nests is an awe-inspiring experience that's punctuated by occasional territorial displays (snuffling coughs and stand-up flapping), ensuring that even the liveliest children are stilled.The swannery is near the picturesque village of Abbotsbury, 10 miles from Weymouth off the B3157."

"The bold, brash Slug & Lettuce chain is the antithesis of the ‘best kept secret’ or ‘this little place I know’. It’s ..." Read our full review"
