Gusto Coffee Sandwich - North Dorset

We stopped here 4 times during our 1 week in the area. Coffee was excellent as was the service with a smile. Friendly locals too. We didn’t eat here but the food looked great. The owners were lovely and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for anyone. Highly recommend this place.

What a great place this is. Found it as we were walking around Shaftesbury. Looked very homely from outside so went in met by a friendly chap and showed us to a table for two. We both had toasted sandwiches on the granary. Didn’t have to wait long for them, piping hot, I had cheeses and onion a hubby had ham and cheese. Very filling. I had hot choccie and hubby had tea. Great prices and personal service not like the high street franchises. Busy place with lots of people getting their lunch and they must be regulars as they were on first term names. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

We only get to Shaftesbury two or three times a year and found Gusto a while ago. Yesterday we visited twice, once for superb coffees and cake mid-morning (wonderful raspberry Bakewell slice); then back for paninis for lunch. Lovely atmosphere in Gusto, as ever, with friendly, welcoming owner working extra hard as some of his team self-isolating. But great service and value nonetheless. A footnote to the town council....the atmosphere in that end of town was much more pleasant when the road was closed and cafes, etc were able to put tables and chairs out. It really transformed the ambience of the whole area. You should close the road again, say after 10am to enable morning deliveries. A little imagination and flexibility would go a long way to helping traders and visitors in this part of the town and the visitor/ shopper experience as a whole. There are no good reasons not to do it.

We sat outside and savored a bacon baguette and a tuna melt panini with two flat white coffees. The service was friendly. We would recommend this place.

We absolutely adore Gusto's! Their coffee is fantastic and the food is amazing. Definitely better than any of the mainstream coffee chains on the high street. Thank you, Gusto's!
