Soulshine is a heart‑warming dining gem—where lively design meets soulful cooking, excellent coffee, and an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. Whether you’re enjoying a slow brunch, an artisan coffee, a veggie feast, or a relaxed supper with friends (or four‑legged pals), it’s a place that fills the soul just as much as the belly. Highly recommended—Bridport’s finest.

What a little gem! Amazing coffee, really friendly staff along with great service. It was market day so they were packed but service was delightful and quick. We had breakfast (fried eggs on sourdough & buttermilk pancakes) and it was all delicious would definitely recommend and would love to visit again in the cooler months and try the soups

My favourite place to eat and grab coffee, have loved this place since it opened and it’s such a treat to visit, I’ve never had a bad experience here. The team are always friendly, accommodating, and appear to have great communication. It was a busy market day when we visited and yet the service was exceptional - food arrived quickly, and despite a constant flow of people wanting a seat, we didn’t feel at all rushed and enjoyed a peaceful, delicious lunch. Like the food, the coffee is always made to a high standard. Though some may think it a simple thing, the carrot sandwich is anything but, and I highly recommend! Always an insanely good selection of cakes/deserts (I love the basque cheesecake and chocolate brownie) and the decor and ambience adds to the great experience. I will continue to recommend Soulshine to everyone!

Absolutely love this cafe, the food is divine as is the welcome/service. Their soups are incredible and the Tortilla With Grilled Dalwood Asparagus & Wild Garlic Mayo looks like a work of art and tastes amazing. We can't wait to return again and again...Wonderful place

Stopped for an impromptu breakfast after a week staying in Salwayash. We had spotted the place earlier in the week but had not got round to visiting. Now we want to go back for another holiday in Dorset just so we can eat here again. Amazing staff, food and atmosphere!

A great place for lunch. The food is vibrant, thoughtful, and full of flavour without trying too hard — the kind of cooking that feels both generous and precise. Ingredients are clearly treated with care, and each dish arrives with a lightness that makes the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Service is warm in a relaxed, unforced way. Staff are attentive without hovering, and the pacing is spot on, whether you’re drifting through breakfast or settling in for a slower lunch.

We had a delicious meal last night. Great food and good service. We finished with a chocolate mousse and I had an affogato. A little bit of wickedness to conclude a lovely evening. Thank you.
