Stop for coffee and cake. sit both inside and outside with table service. the waitress was very friendly and fast. Cappuccinos were strong and hot and cake very nice. the atmosphere in the inner was pleasant and did not feel crowded. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Old School Cafe:
As regular customers of Costa we thought we would give this a try but we will not be returning. The coffee was just about warm enough but devoid of any real flavour as was the cherry Bakewell cake. The first time we have left both...coffee and cake. A shame as we prefer to use independent where possible but will be using Costa in the future. View all feedback.

We enjoyed our soup, curry and drinks. Flapjack a little underwhelming, and may have had dessicated coconut in which is not my favourite.

The cafe at the St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery in Lymington offers delicious coffee and food, with quick and friendly service. The steak pie is particularly recommended, fulfilling the promise of quality at a slightly higher price. The atmosphere is bright, airy, and welcoming, with a wide range of food options. Customers can enjoy everything from cakes and scones to sandwiches and Buddha bowls. The staff are helpful and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. Overall, this independent cafe stands out from the usual highstreet chains and is definitely worth a visit for great coffee, food, and service.
