The brunch café Swanage queues for — creative breakfasts, proper coffee, and a room that glows. Open every day, 7am to 3pm.
Tucked just off Kings Road East, Burnt Toast is the room Swanage wakes up in — Edison bulbs, warm wood, and a menu that treats breakfast like it matters.
French toast with berry compote, burrata on toast, hash brown pile-ups — plus proper coffee and, on Sundays, a roast worth planning around.
Tucked just off Kings Road East, Burnt Toast is the room Swanage wakes up in — Edison bulbs, warm wood, and a menu that treats breakfast like it matters.
The brunch menu is where the creativity lives: French toast with berry compote, burrata on toast, build-your-own brioche, hash brown pile-ups. Nothing here is an afterthought.
Coffee is proper — flat whites and lattes done right — and the hot chocolate comes with a toasted marshmallow on a stick.

— Visit DorsetCome for brunch, stay for the glow. And if it's Sunday — the roast.
Burnt Toast opened in 2024 with one idea: Swanage deserved a brunch spot as good as the town itself. Creative plates, proper coffee, no shortcuts.
Edison bulbs on black cords, warm wood, an orange-framed shopfront on Kings Road East. The room glows — morning light through big windows, and the smell of proper coffee.
Light and airy at the front, more tables tucked at the back, and a door out to the shops of Commercial Road.
French toast with berry compote. Burrata on toast. Build-your-own brioche. Hash brown pile-ups. This is not a fry-up with delusions — it's a menu with ideas.
Generous portions, fair prices, and gluten-free swaps on request. The regulars' verdict: worth the wait at busy times.
On Sundays the kitchen does a proper roast — pork, lamb, all the trimmings. And beyond the café, the team cater weddings and events across Purbeck.
Seven days a week, 7am to 3pm. The kettle's on.
