The Dorset Pantry - Bournemouth

BrillIantly priced. Solid coffee. Accommodated a custom sandwich. Very friendly staff.

My family have been regularly coming to the dorset pantry ever since Kasia took over ownership years ago. I have since moved out of the country but any and every time I’m in Bournemouth, the Dorset Pantry is always my FIRST stop. This sandwich shop has always been an amazing little hidden gem, and I’ve always recommended the place extremely highly. The food is always 11/10 and its always service with a smile! ps. her slices of cake are probably the fluffiest and tastiest you’ll try!!

Kasia is a lovely person, a hard worker and I recommend anyone and every one to use this small independent business. We should all be supporting local businesses in the community. The selection of rolls and sandwiches are numerous. I recommend her homemade cake, it is delightful.

The sandwiches salads have always been perfect for me, others I know have not always been given what they ordered, for example pepper added when requested without or extra different fillings which customers have not asked for (concerning for dietry requirements). However mine has always been spot on. My gripe is that as lovely as the owner comes across she always makes me feel like it is too much trouble even though I keep everything as standard. She does have a strange method of prioritising orders. My friend she happily does sandwiches for, but ignores me when I try to order, then when I got my confidence up to go back try to order again she explained she was too busy, I would have to wait half hour, I was prepared to do so, but then she said maybe another time. I was so hurt, she actually ruined my whole Friday, I've had a tough week this reduced me to tears. I don't understand why she really doesn't want to ever do an order for me if she can avoid it. I've always recommended how great her good is how generous the fillings are.

Love the coffee and amazing home made cakes! very friendly and welcoming ladies
