My Wife and I stopped for a quick bite to eat and drink. Not at all disappointed at all. My Wife had a Cream Tea but with a Hot Chocolate which the staff were happy to change for her, I had a piece of the home made Dorset Apple cake and a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Excellent quality for... More

Having travelled to Weymouth for a meeting my colleague and I found this place when looking for somewhere to have lunch on the seafront. I was drawn to the general look of the restaurant, it's bright, airy and well decorated. Having opened the door the first thing to hit me was the enticing smell of freshly baked cake. A definite...

Without doubt the finest Homemade Apple cake in History, Fantastic service and great atmosphere. Simply a must visit for anyone who comes to Weymouth. Great family run business and service always with a smile. Every Seaside town should have one.

Came here with my father, had a tasty crab sandwich (which I thought though was a little expensive at over 6 quid), and a nice warm cup of tea. There were some delicious looking cakes on the side but was too full to indulge. The atmosphere was friendly, but as they were very busy they encourraged customers who had already... More

Living just 30 minutes away in Wareham we visit Weymouth at least twice a month and always end up having either coffee and cake or lunch at this lovely well run tea room. First visited 3 seasons ago and have never once had bad service or sub standard food. Having run pubs/restaurants over the years, the old test of the... More

I had heard that the very same place can get markedly different reviews so I thought I would have a look at the Cactus Team Rooms in Weymouth and write my first ever review. It's true!! I live in the area and have visited the place on a number of occasions for a coffee and a cake. These visits have... More

We went there after an Olympic sailing event (my 2 year old daughter, husband and I) yesterday. This place leaves me embarrassed if any international visitors ended up there. The food wasn't that bad, typical cafe food, and our waitress was doing the best she could. But the manager (I presume owner) was barking orders inside and the anti-child signage... More

We have had visits from famous sports people and their family’s, TV presenters, a certain famous Pop star and the BBC and ITV who selected us... More
