The View Coffee Shop Milton Abbas Dorset
Discover a little slice of paradise at The View Coffee Shop, nestled within the scenic Sports Club at Hoggens Down, Milton Abbas, Dorset. This charming café is not just a place to grab a quick cup of coffee, it's an experience, complete with breathtaking views overlooking the Purbecks and Poole Harbour.
The menu is a delightful homage to simple yet satisfying fare, perfect for a casual brunch or a cozy afternoon in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Indulge in their selection of toasted sandwiches, where every bite is infused with local ingredients; choose from classics like the Cheese & Tomato or treat yourself to the richer Cheese & Bacon option. Don’t overlook the spinach and ricotta pastry affording just the right amount of comfort food satisfaction, as one of the delighted customers, Annie B, mentions. For those with a sweet tooth, the toasted tea cake is a warm, buttery treat that complements the café's inviting atmosphere.
Your drink options are equally impressive. Sip on a flat white or a richly flavored mocha, both available for just £3.50. Or if you’re seeking something sweeter, the deluxe hot chocolate promises a cozy indulgence at £4.00. For those looking to unwind, the café also serves a delightful selection of local alcoholic beverages, including Piddle Ale and refreshing Cranbourne Chase Cider.
The welcoming ambiance, as shared by satisfied patrons, is what truly sets The View apart. The café boasts a friendly team whose warmth brings a sense of community and comfort—an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

With both indoor and outdoor seating, you can choose to bask in the spectacular views while enjoying your meal—a sentiment echoed by Charles Fulcrum, who cherished the café's stunning sights and inviting setting. The café has become a sought-after destination not only for locals but also for visitors who appreciate fresh, homemade food and the joy of nature around them.
