A popular coffee shop has closed its doors for the last time.

Coffee lovers were disappointed over the weekend to discover that Coffee Saloon in Seamoor Road, Westbourne had closed.

With the doors firmly shut and lights out, the owners had placed a notice in the window.

It read: “After six fantastic years we are sadly saying goodbye to our Westbourne Coffee Saloon.

“Our lease is up on Friday, August 25, 2023, and we are not renewing.

“This is a massive thank you to you all for your loyalty and custom over the past six years, it’s been a lot of fun.

“Please come and see us in our Canford Cliffs Saloon, you can be sure of a warm welcome.”

On a mission to serve “awesome coffee” wherever it can, it was rated as one of the top five coffee shops in Dorset by Echo readers.

The Westbourne site boasts a 4.5 rating on the review site Tripadvisor, with one fan commenting: “We come here often before going to the beach and it’s excellent every time. Lovely vegan options. Coffee is perfect. Outside has a chalk board to keep kids entertained. Perfect stop for breakfast first thing in the morning.”

Coffee Saloon has another store Haven Road, Canford Cliffs, which remains open.
