Boscanova is one of Boscombe’s best-known independent coffee houses — the sort of relaxed neighbourhood spot that regulars return to week after week. It has helped shape Boscombe’s reputation as Bournemouth’s creative, café-loving quarter.
Coffee and brunch
The draw is proper speciality coffee alongside a generous brunch menu, from big cooked plates to lighter bites, with vegetarian and vegan options well catered for. It’s an easy place to settle in with a flat white and the papers.
The setting
The mood is unhurried and independent, in keeping with Boscombe’s high street and the nearby Royal Arcade. It’s a natural stop before or after a walk down to the seafront.
Nearby
Pair a visit with brunch-with-a-view at Urban Reef by the pier, or a stroll along Boscombe Beach. For more of the area, see our guide to Boscombe.
