A warm and welcoming café in the heart of Dorchester

The Dorset Kitchen is tucked inside Goulds Lifestyle Store in Dorchester and is a much-loved spot for good, delicious food and a hot cup of coffee. 

Whether you’re joining us for a cooked breakfast, a light lunch, or a slice of cake with a cuppa, you’ll find plenty to enjoy throughout the day in a friendly, relaxed setting.

Freshly prepared, locally inspired

Everything at The Dorset Kitchen is freshly prepared to order, using good-quality ingredients and locally sourced produce wherever possible. 

We’re proud to support local suppliers, including White’s Delights, who provide us with a changing selection of homemade cakes and traybakes, with gluten-free options available. What’s in the counter can vary, but there’s always something tempting waiting.

Breakfasts, lunches and sweet treats

Breakfast is served Monday to Saturday, with a choice of cooked breakfasts, vegetarian options, toast and popular breakfast baps available until later in the day. 

From lunchtime onwards, you’ll find freshly made sandwiches, baguettes and ciabattas, alongside classic pies, pasties, jacket potatoes and daily specials. And if you fancy something sweet, our cake counter, traditional cream teas and afternoon cake offer are always worth a look. 

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or sitting down to enjoy a proper break, our menu has something to suit the moment.
