Went in on a cold Saturday afternoon when it was the only cafe open. Had the place to ourselves and had a good chat with the owner. Lovely scones and friendly too!

Arrived on our bi-annual visit to Blandford and headed for the Forum as our cafe of choice. Unfortunately for us but, no doubt, well-deserved, the owners are on a break until 13 Oct 2022. I hope they have a good holiday.(5 stars or else the information won't post. All previous visits for coffee and cake have been that good.)

Today I was introduced to this wonderful gem of a cafe, close to the centre of Blandford. The I only came in for a cup of tea and 3 cups of coffee, with me a two other gents. The gentleman behind the counter with a mostash was wonderful kind and polite. The service was simply outstanding. He was funny, polite and attentive. This is not the service you would expect in national coffee chains, but from a five star hotel. I purchased some fabulous bars of Love Cocoa with the words Thank You. I hear this place does great food. Try this place if you in Blandford, a real gem.Barry

Been coming here for years still the best coffee around and the most lovely staff Food is fantastic too Highly recommended
Having only just moved to the area we were in search of a new local cafe in Blandford. We tried most of them and the one we liked most was the Forum Cafe. It was only a ten minute walk in to town, it was clean, the coffee and cake were excellent and Ken and Terry were very pleasant and helpful.

My friend and I wanted to visit the museum opposite (alas, we picked the wrong day) but instead we enjoyed an excellent brunch with the MOST amazing savoury muffin, supremely good coffee and delicious cake. The food was scrumptious and the ambience cosy yet chilled. How did they do that? Fabulous warm, friendly staff who made us feel like cherished guests rather than bog-standard customers. If you find yourself in Blandford and The Forum Cafe is closed, go home and try again another day. (I think they close Mon and Tues). We'll be back.

On a cold Winter’s afternoon, one needs a hot brew and a warm welcome. Whilst other establishments had closed their doors at 4, it was therefore a welcome sight to spy the steam rising from behind the counter at the Forum Café and a 5 pm curfew. Bright - if a preponderance of a slightly garish green decor - friendly and welcoming with a good selection of homemade cakes and savouries (even at ten pst four on a Friday) and a bewildering array of teas, coffees and other beverages, The Forum is a gem of a café in what is a sadly dog-eared and slightly run-down looking town. The carrot cake and lemon drizzle cake were both excellent. The loose leaf breakfast tea strong and hot. Highly recommended.
