We stopped in expecting more—we saw recent posts on their Facebook page showcasing an autumnal loaf slice and a pumpkin spice latte as well as photos on Google of full English breakfasts, but none of these were options and the waitress seemed really confused that I'd excitedly asked to try the pumpkin spice latte..! The menu was very limited—just a breakfast bap, avo toast, pancakes, bread and jam, or eggs Benedict (although they seemed to use local sausage and bacon, which we were pleased to see). They did hot chocolates for the kids and the grown ups had flat whites, all of which were proper and delicious. The food was alright, but super basic for the price—certainly not outstanding, considering you can get so much better (and more!) for less at several other places nearby. The decor was lovely and cosy, the loo was clean, the little outdoor seating area was really cute, and it's clear they're putting a lot of effort in—but the atmosphere felt a bit flat for a Saturday morning and it seems like they're missing a trick as they could be bustling if they filled a few gaps. It feels very much like it's trying to be the Pudding Pantry, a bar, a coffee house—it's nearly there, whatever it's trying to be, and it would be lovely to see this place do really well long term, but it hasn't quite nailed it down just yet. It feels more coffee house than anything, despite seeming like a cafe online (which is why it fell short of what we expected when we walked in with hungry kids). It's more dog friendly than kid friendly, I'd say—there were other kids there at the same time we were, but there's no sign of anything specifically for kids to eat or drink (they made it seem like they were doing us a favour when I asked for "kids" hot chocolates). We'd consider grabbing coffees to takeaway in the future, but won't be going for food again unless it levels up beyond just a basic coffee house x x

I cannot fault this lovely cafe, wonderful ambience and extremely tasteful decor. The service was excellent, very friendly and efficient. We had brunch with sparkling wine, both food and wine were delicious. I had smashed avocado on rye bread with poached eggs and bacon, the quality of the produce was superb. I would recommend Dandelion cafe to anyone, we had such a fabulous time and were made to feel special and valued. Top marks to the chef and serving staff, we'll definitely be going back! Many thanks.

I had the pleasure of attending a friends birthday brunch on Saturday. It was so lovely. The food, decor and atmosphere was amazing! Kerry and the team really looked after us and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended for a delicious brunch and private event.

Called in here today for lunch after seeing the newest cafe, popular with mums and babies, was full up. Dandelion cafe has nice comfortable seating and friendly staff. As we were going on to swimming afterwards, we shared a tuna sandwich, and seeing the size of it, were glad we did. Bread was fresh and soft, with lovely coleslaw and salad. We shared again, a lovely fresh slice of caramel cake. Flat white coffee was hot, strong and smooth. We will be back......😊

1st-time visit. Met by friendly staff as we entered. Whilst taking food order, my wife was able to order a panini with her own choice of filling. Staff very obliging and happy to accommodate. We ordered 2 paninis (Bacon, brie and cranberry & wife's Ham, Halloumi and red onion marmalade) with tea and black coffee. Panini was served with a small dressed salad and fresh coleslaw. The food was beautifully presented and tasted great. Drinks were hot (huge selection available) Overall extremely impressed with the whole visit. Would recommend and will definitely return. 🙃

Lovely cafe, great coffee. We had lunch and the soup was homemade and fresh, lovely chunky bread and the panini’s were all great. Friendly staff who gave us a warm welcome. If we lived here this would be a firm favorite. Highly recommend

Normally keep my reviews quite neutral but I have to admit that I have known Kerry since we were teenagers and I Iove to see a local girl doing well with a business she loves. Located on the main street in Kimberley with easy access to the bus stops nearby. Lots of car parking available locally all within 5 minutes walk. As a word of warning just check the time limits as you don't want to end up with a ticket. I have visited several times for breakfast lunch and a hot drink with cake or snack, but not all on the same day. Good selection of teas and different coffees are served all freshly prepared . I really don't like coffee that's made in a jug and kept warm but that's not served here. I love the smoked salmon breakfast again freshly prepared to your order . For lunch I usually choose the soup again which is freshly made from scratch no tins or packets here. The other thing that I like is the cheese selection which can be purchased to eat at home. Toilet is accessible through the rear door. Lovely staff who are friendly and attentive but not overbearing.

Nipped in for a coffee ☕ after a walk around Kimberly n Swingate (near the water tower) .. Great service and kindly allowed me to sit with my dog.. Nicely decorated and 'warm' in temperature and hospitality.. Recommended and will visit again. 5 🌟.. Thanks, Tim
