Compton Acres Cafe - Poole

The vegan options at this restaurant are decent if you happen to be visiting the gardens, which are beautiful. However, I wouldn't recommend making a special trip to the café unless you have pre-booked the afternoon tea that others have raved about. The menu had limited vegan choices, but I opted for the pie which was tasty and came with a nice salad. The outdoor seating was enjoyable on a sunny day.

The café could use more variety in their menu. Unfortunately, there were no vegan sandwich options available, and only a few dessert choices such as shortbread instead of traditional cake. I ended up purchasing a vegetable pie, which was tasty but on the small side for the price of £8 and was not served with any sides. I noticed that other reviews mentioned their afternoon tea, so I might have to give that a try in the future. It's disappointing that they do not regularly offer vegan scones, though they are able to bake them for afternoon teas if requested in advance. Overall, this café has some options, but they are not nearly as extensive or satisfying as their non-vegan counterparts.

This restaurant offers great value with generous portions, including three different types of cakes, scones, and sandwiches. The price also includes a latte. The setting is lovely, with accommodating staff and a nice, quiet atmosphere.

Lovely cafe in a beautiful setting. There are vegan options on the menu e.g vegan Vegetable dish. But I had called ahead and ordered a vegan afternoon tea which was delicious! 3 types of scones, 4 different flavour sandwiches and 2 cakes. All tasty and fresh. Very pleased, as having searched for afternoon tea in Bournemouth/Poole there are not many options.

This café is located in a stunning setting and offers a variety of vegan options on their menu, such as a vegan vegetable dish. I pre-ordered a vegan afternoon tea and was delighted with the 3 types of scones, 4 different flavored sandwiches, and 2 cakes that were served. Everything was fresh and delicious. I was very satisfied with my experience, especially since there are limited options for afternoon tea in the Bournemouth/Poole area.
