The Courtyard Tea Rooms

A little gem of a cafe, tucked down a narrow alleyway in Poole's old town. You could easily miss it - look out for the sign up high that says Tea Rooms. There are a few different places to sit, 2 tables by the kitchen, the courtyard and the Snug which has 4 separate tables. There is an array of delicious looking cakes - we had a Dorset Apple and Chocolate Brownie, warmed up with a choice of ice cream or clotted cream. Yum! This cafe is only a 5 minute walk from the Quay but the prices are much better. I look forward to visiting again next time I'm in Poole.

Just re-opened under new ownership, Penny and her team have made this wonderful tea-room breathtakingly perfect. I hired the Snug for a 50th Birthday breakfast for my best friend and Penny her team couldn’t have been more accommodating or welcoming. The food was incredible. So good we double breakfasted haha! The menu is varied, traditional yet unique and the food absolutely gorgeous. Feel emosh from such an extra special experience. It’s lovely, absolutely perfect. Oooo, they even have hot water bottles and blankets incase people want to sit outside on cooler days. Toooo cuuuute. Thank you both for the best morning xx

Yet another fantastic celebrity afternoon tea in The Courtyard. This place is a hidden gem and is like it's own oasis off heaven. The food is exquisite and all made fresh to order, from the tea cups and tea pots, to the pretty decor made our afternoon tea just amazing. Jane and her staff were as always very polite, helpful and went out off their way to make our visit a very special one. Myself, my sister celebrated our Aunties and our Mum's birthdays and we all had a wonderful time. The food was just divine. I can't wait to return. See you all soon. Kind thanks to Jane and her staff. Your really special people.

FOR ALL TEA LOVERS.. come here and you won't be disappointed. From a unassuming entrance you enter a lovely tearoom with room inside and out plus a little snug, with a great choice of tea leaves ( Yunnan is my new favourite) to accommodate most people. All the food looked great and the cake are to die for, I went for my favourite a cream tea and wasn't disappointed the scones we light and broke perfectly (well done chef).. Great staff, reasonably priced and we'll be back for sure 👍👍
