The Crooked Book - Bournemouth

Amazed at how brilliant this little gem is! Be warned you will need at least an afternoon of browsing all the books, plants and quirky vintage finds! Luckily the coffee is excellent and the relaxed inclusive atmosphere is a breathe of fresh air oh and did i mention that the prices are so reasonable! We will be returning , only wish it was nearer ! But still well worth the trip

I’m just having coffee and the freshest cake ever in tbe crooked book, Boscombe! Guys playing chess. Full of vintage bric a bac for the home or props for your paintings x

We hadn't been able to visit for 6 years since we moved away, but the Crooked Book was still as fantastic as ever. The atmosphere was wonderful, the coffee and cakes were great, and there was an amazing selection of vintage items for the home, as well as a wide variety of books in all genres.

I absolutely LOVE the Crooked Book! I actually live in Sheffield but visit Bournemouth whenever possible and always make time to visit The Crooked Book as many times as I can whilst in the area. This place is just so warm and welcoming with lots of fabulous vintage items books for sale within a heavenly café and welcoming team of staff! There are chess mornings and knitting club mornings and even though I am into neither the atmosphere is always so lovely and it attracts so many interesting people I absolutely love it here and can't wait to visit again as soon as possible!

We were drawn to this charming cafe with a vintage feel and ended up staying for coffee and cake. The Victoria sponge was fresh, tasty, and generously sized. The cappuccino and latte were also very reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend this place.
