The Paddle in the forest

A lovely little coffee shop, but it was fairly small inside, the tables nearest the front have seats pretty much on the windowsill. Lots of drink options but not as many for the very small kids (never confident they will finish anything we get them!) I think I paid about £20 for two adult drinks, two juices and a couple of slices of cake to share - not sure if that's good, I don't go to coffee shops enough to know the going rate! The cake was nice, a piece of caramel slice and a blueberry and lemon coconut cake. It was a nice stop to slow us down a bit whilst visiting the area.

Always a real value-for-money treat! The creamy garlic mushrooms on sourdough and shakshuka are absolutely sublime!! And such a warm, friendly welcome from the chef and colleagues too, making it a 'must do' every time we visit - thank you. Five stars - I'd give six if I could!

A fantastic little coffee shop that serves fantastic food. We went here for breakfast twice during our stay in the New Forest and everything about it was delicious. The coffee was just arrived. The pastries were fresh and delicious and the yoghurt dish is based with banana bread and the bowl with granola were awesome

Sat outside on the deck at the front of the store, after ordering at the counter. It was a beautiful day and there was a nice buzz around the place. Food was delicious, freshly prepared and the coffee was delicious too. There was a steady stream of customers which made me realise I'd made an excellent choice.

If you're ever in Brockenhurst, this charming little cafe on High Road is definitely worth a visit. With a few tables and chairs outside, it's perfect for enjoying a coffee on a sunny day, though there's also cozy seating inside if you prefer. The coffee here is fantastic—super strong and full of flavor, just the way I like it. They also serve a delightful breakfast menu and a selection of fresh pastries that pair perfectly with your drink. A lovely spot for a quick break or a relaxed morning!

A nice but small cafe in Brockenhurst, serving all manner of delicious treats. Although I only stopped by for a coffee (which was great) all of their cakes and sandwiches looked fantastic. The cafe gets busy very quickly and only has a handful of tables, but there’s a reason why they are so busy. The staff are friendly and efficient and I will certainly be back to sample some of the lunch items on the menu.

My partner and I had lunch here when hiking around Brockenhurst. The food was AMAZING! I had the new forest mushrooms special, which I hope they make a part of the permanent menu, because I would take the hour-long train journey necessary for me to eat them again! Great veggie and vegan options and good cakes too.

Stopped here for lunch as part of a walk from Lyndhurst to Brockenhurst and back. Cosy seating inside and some available outside also. Wide selection of brunch, lunch, cakes and drinks. Had a lovely bacon bap which was like something id never experienced before with smashed avocado and harrismo mayonnaise. So tasty. Gf had a nice brunch with eggs, sourdough toast, avocado and beetroot humous. Recommended for a nice stop rest in Brockenhurst. Thanks for the refuel.
