The Grasshopper

you're on bournemouth road, which is the kind of long suburban stretch that doesn't announce itself as a destination, and yet here's the grasshopper at 139-141, pulling you off the pavement. poole isn't a city that shouts about its coffee scene, so when something local builds a genuine reputation quietly, that tends to mean the work is actually good. the grasshopper has that kind of standing, the sort you hear about through word of mouth rather than a press release. espresso is the throughline here, and if that's what you're after on this particular road in bh14, you're in the right place. come for the espresso.
