Last year I posted about my favourite place to fill my sweet tooth cravings, lulubelles. Since then they've purchased the shop next door and out of the builders rubble blossomed a gorgeous, kitsch little tearoom. You probably don't know much about Canford Cliffs but it's a gorgeous area and was long over due a cosy little cafe for locals and passers by alike and I now find myself battling to not pop in every day on the way past. Louisa has carried the Lulubelle's look through in to the tearoom, it's pink and girly and a little bit shabby chic, perfect for little princesses and wise queens alike (boys are welcome too!), the window seat is my favourite place to grab a drink with friends after a shift and indulge in something naughty. And for those of us who are a little bit too naughty, there's a naughty stool. There's bean bags and colouring in for little ones and a book swap shelf filled with amazing books for grown ups, but if reading's not your thing make sure you browse all the lovely trinkets and homemade goodies for sale.
I feel rather qualified to talk about how perfect the cakes are now, I wouldn't be suprised if I've tried everything on the menu in the past year or two! Today we didn't have long so we grabbed a slice of coconut and lemon layer cake to share & it was amazing as expected, the sponge was deliciously moist and bursting with flavour and the icing was gorgeous. We washed our slice of cake down with a vanilla milkshake and a cup of hot chocolate which was quite possibly the richest cup of hot chocolate I've had in my life, I'm not complaining though!
If you're in the area Lulubelle's tearooms are open Monday - Saturday 9.30-5 & Sunday 10-4
If you dont have time to stop in for a drink you can always pop next door for a takeaway.

p.s lovely readers if you've got a spare moment I'd be over the moon if you nominated me for a cosmo blog award in either the travel or lifestyle category!
