Went to Old Harry Rocks, after the walk we stopped off at Joe's cafe South beach with lovely peaceful beach views, ordered 2 cheese burgers and an Americano and a latte 24, food and service was good, I could have had another coffee as it was small and morish, home made onion relish was yummy too would recommend after a lovely walk xxx

Lovely beach shack cafe, our lattes were really good - took a while to make, but definitely worth it! Served in proper cups rather than paper ones which is nice. My son liked his hot choc too. Raspberry croissant was delicious & husband enjoyed his pasty. Young lads serving were nice & friendly. Cost about 20 in total. It was quiet when we arrived but getting busy by the time we left. Some long tables for seating, but can take food/drinks to the beach too. Great location, can recommend

Fantastic service, so friendly & knowledgeable regarding the ingredients & great prices too. I should also mention the fantastic idea of free use of deckchairs . Doggie ice lollies on a hot day, absolutely fantastic idea & loved by outlet cocker spaniel Loki

Perfect setting overlooking the bay. Really enjoyed our sandwiches and tea and a chat with the owner. Highly recommend a visit if you're up for a short walk from South Beach NT car park or a longer walk from Studland beach.

Lovely beach hut cafe with outdoor seating in a terrific location. Lovely large mug of tea in ceramic cup-,,-no flimsy paper cups and a limited choice of brownies or flapjack -both delicious. It's just off the coastal path and is well signposted
