A Parkstone café that keeps its coffee honest: beans from a local Dorset roastery, flat whites and mochas made properly, and an all-day breakfast and cake counter to go with them. Dogs get a puppaccino, which settles the question of who's welcome.

The Upper Parkstone café where a good flat white comes with breakfast and a dog.

Pastuzos Local★ Everyday

A tucked-away Upper Parkstone coffee shop that opens early, with a flat white locals rate very highly and a chilled, music-led room with its own merch. The right stop on Ashley Road when the morning needs a properly made coffee.

Pearhaus Coffee★★ Specialty

A roastery café on an industrial estate in north Poole, with the roaster in view while you drink. Worth the detour off the main roads for espresso or a hand pour from beans roasted a few metres away.

Grounded Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

Grounded roasts its own coffee in the back of this Kingland Crescent shop, so the roaster is in view while you drink. Coffee leads here, and the cold brew is the order.
