What customers say?

“ Lovely little spot! A great option for brunch in the area. Offers an amazing breakfast especially if you’re staying at the campsite. Offers a wide range of options. Small but great! ”

“ Tucked away on Lyndhurst Road, this charming little spot is everything I needed and more. The moment you step in, you’re wrapped in a warm, homey atmosphere, vintage chairs, lush plants, and the perfect window seat for people-watching or simply enjoying a rainy day. Every single thing is homemade, and trust me, the cinnamon-glazed cake? Easily the best I’ve ever had. Moist, rich, and dripping with creamy glaze… just look at the size of that slice! (Yes, that’s my hand for scale!!). I could honestly spend hours here just soaking in the peaceful vibes. A place where time slows down. Can’t wait to come back ”

“ Merritts Coffee Lounge is a friendly cafe in Ashurst. With its roaring fire and comfy seating, it’s a great place to have a coffee and warm up after a winter walk. The menu offers a range of homemade brunch items, as well as delicious cakes. Although it didn’t look exciting, the omelette I had for lunch was absolutely fantastic. My husband had the skillet crumpet with trout, and raved about it. The service was very friendly and welcoming, and it was a great place to start or end a range of lovely New Forest walks. Overall I had a great visit, and if in the area again I would 100% return. ”

“ Really special coffee at this super friendly coffee lounge. Also, the food is top quality - I'm particularly partial to the bacon waffles - a very naughty treat! It's 5 stars from me ***** GREAT WALK AS WELL! - to compensate for the cakes there is a beautiful walk just up the road... turn left when leaving the lounge and keep going straight- you end up entering the beauty of the new forest! ”

“ Delicious, quirky cafe with a lovely 50’s theme decoration. Food was exquisite and the coffee was excellent. Vegan and vegetarian options available, which are always appreciated! Very good sound track as well and the staff was very friendly. I’m definitely coming back when in this part of the world again! My eggs florentine were novel and delicious! ”

“ It was a coincidence we dropped by and took a seat. I bookmarked it as my favourite cafe straight away! I just love the environment and how friendly the staff was. We had the best ever Egg Florentine and crunchy waffle with bacon. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone :) ”

“ A hidden gem on the edge of the New Forrest. Love the artisan decor, the warmth from the log burner and the wonderful food aroma. The food that we ordered was wonderfully presented and truly tasted as good as it looks if not better! Apparently the homemade doughnuts are to die for, though the cakes at the counter looked totally scrumptious. A grear place to dine with lovely owners who make you feel very welcome. ”

- Kevin Bridges -

“ Visited today for the first time. Lovely little cafe with beautiful decor and excellent service! We tried their English breakfast and egg & bacon waffles, as well as the cherry raspberry tart and brioche slice. Everything was made on the premises and the quality was superb! The only downside was that we couldn't eat more of the food We will be back soon to try the rest of their menu! ”
