Table for four, two with large breakfasts, one with medium and one with omelette breakfast. The food was fresh and very well presented, service excellent and prices less than most of the alternative cafes. Definately a great addition to our breakfast list.

What a great little find this cafe is. Excellent food at really great prices. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff are always friendly and attentive. That fact that some items on the menu come with free coffee or tea makes the value even better. The sandwich fillings are a lot more than other places. Pictures of a breakfast wrap and a cheese and ham toastie. I cannot recommend this cafe enough.

Wonderful, old school cafe. Delicious food, and friendly, not to mention quick, service for a great price. Took the option of upgrading to coffee, although tea was included in the price of the Breakfast.

Very welcoming and friendly service, child friendly too. Lovely freshly made full breafasts and kids loved their sausage barms. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely finishing touch- free sweets for the kids at the end of our meal. Will definitely go again next time we are passing through. Highly recommended.

I’ve taken my Grandad to The Hungary One here in Ferndown a few times now, and once again today we had an absolutely brilliant breakfast to kick-start our dayWe both went for the medium-sized brekkie with a latte, and it hit the spot perfectly! One of the things I really love about this place is the choice of portion sizes...a small, medium or large, which you don’t often see elsewhere. It’s great to have that flexibility depending on how hungry you are! Our breakfasts were delicious as always, and the service was just as lovely. It was friendly, quick and welcoming. We’ve noticed they also serve fish and chips, so we’re already planning to come back and give that a try. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a tasty, no-fuss breakfast in a cosy setting.
