Our Guide to Finding the Best Breakfast in Poole 

You’ll find the best breakfast food in Poole around the quay area, but there are a few secret spots up in town that serve some delicious cooked meals early on in the day.

However, you might want to take a look around some of Poole’s popular shopping precincts for the best quality bread, pastries, and sandwiches – such as the Dolphin Centre, for example!

That said, we’ve been careful to visit a variety of different cafes and bistros across the area to really get a good idea of Poole’s breakfast scene.

So, without further ado, here’s where to get the best tea, coffee, and breakfast service!

From fresh arabica coffee and classic flat whites to breakfast wraps, sandwiches, and pastries, Wenzel’s serves up an excellent range of savoury and sweet treats to get your morning going.

A huge selling point here is just how fresh the bread is – it’s delivered daily, meaning you can always expect a crisp crunch!

La Mia’s 

You’re in great company if you head down to the Poole Quay for breakfast at La Mia’s. The breakfast experience here is a little different to most – it’s a Meditteranean restaurant offering authentic continental mid-morning bites!

Head along here for some tasty coffee and tons of coastal charm. You don’t have to leave England for a taste of mainland Europe!

St Tropez Lounge

Elsewhere on Poole’s High Street is the fabulous St Tropez Lounge, a genuine hotspot for meals across the day – but a particular favourite with Bournemouth and Poole locals for a delicious breakfast.

Tuck into pastries, croissants, and – for a change – even a seafood brekkie. If you’re looking for something more than tea and toast, there’s lots to explore near the High Street.
