Great bustling place, easy to sit and chat away and you don't feel rushed by the attentive staff. Have visited twice and had to have pancakes both times!!! They're delicious. This time we had the specials - Tiramisu and Lemon Meringue. Last time I had the plain with the maple butter - all delicious!!
Great experience! Not sure if you can book, but prepare yourself to wait a bit before to be seated as very popular. The wait is definitely worth it! We both tried the pancakes and we did regret it Very fluffy, tasty and some of the ingredients are cooked with it (like the bananas in my case). We didn’t tried anything else, but looking at the plates were coming out from the kitchen, I must say that everything looked delicious at my eyes! Generous portions. Staff was friendly and prompt to help, obviously when super busy, you need to have a bit of patience (waiting time for the food was not even bad). Coffe - a bit burned (they offer different options for milks).
Such a lovely brunch spot, staff were super friendly and very attentive. We ordered the avo toast and the price was so reasonable for the amount given, we ended up ordering an extra place of toast for the amount of avocado received. The coffees were so lovely with a variety of alternative milks and syrups available. A very cosy and clean location and would recommend a visit.
Our top breakfast choice when we’re around Boscombe. There’s plenty of choice on the menu, with options to suit meat eaters, vegetarian and vegan guests - I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve had at Boscanova, but it’s their American style pancakes that keeps us coming back! Never had anything elsewhere that even comes close!
This was our first time here, we both went for the specials. The food was so good. I can highly recommend the sticky peanut and tofu wrap and the peanut butter blondie, absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!
Excellent experience and food. We ordered the fat American pancakes and a full english and 2 mochas. The full english was packed, generous serving, superb butcher sausage and sourdough bread, the rest on the plate were ok.. would recommend. The pancakes were thick and dense (to my liking) although I would prefer if they serve it with more of that maple butter, so if you are on a sweeter side additional maple syrup would be recommended. Coffees are excellent. The place is cozy, be prepared to wait when it's full, don't think they offer advance reservations but do take your number to call when a table is free. Wait is worth it.
Great cafe to meet family and friends, and the waiting staff are friendly and give good advice. I often choose the pancakes, they look like the American version, souffle style but better. You get two with your choice of toppings. though this is too large a portion for me, I was told I could order just one as they are nicer fresh. My guest had scrambled eggs (off menu) and they were just how she likes them. Not snotty or runny and not overcooked neither. Perfect start to the morning and at 09:45 is the only cafe open serving breakfast in Boscombe precinct. Good vibes, relaxed atmosphere and they serve tap water in a glass bottle on request, which is an added bonus for me because I'm always thirsty. Until next time, my favourite place in Boscombe to chill out with a cup of coffee made by local Bournemouth roasters Bad Hand. Amazing place!
Fantastic local cafe with super friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and a chilled yet vibrant atmosphere that you feel welcome in instantly. On a Sunday morning you may have to wait for a table as they are super busy but it’s worth the wait. My husband and I both went for the Full English, the produce was of great quality with full flavour, cook very well and served with a smile, you can’t go wrong. We will be back for the pancakes next!
