Neighbourhood gem

Our store in Wimborne, Dorset, breathes life into a beautiful Grade II listed building that once housed The Bell Hotel, a local landmark since the 19th century. The patio space, once home to an old glassblowing building, is the perfect little sun trap to enjoy a coffee, a bite to eat, or a cocktail or two.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or staying longer for brunch, our Wimborne store presents the perfect blend of heritage and modern comfort in the heart of this historic town.

The food was good, the service friendly. It was relatively quiet whilst I was at the Bear but if it was busier I think it could get quite lively.

Great menu, catering for many dietary needs with interesting options for food and drink. I loved my beetroot oat latte, the coffee was apparently very nice and our meals were all really tasty.
