The ViewBournemouth Review
A cafe that offers children something fun to do while the parents relax, making a family outing much less stressful.
The Venue
The concept of All Fired up is a simple one – create a cafe that families can enjoy together by giving kids a fun creative activity to do and parents a decent cup of coffee so they can relax.
The floor to ceiling windows not only allow light to cascade inside, but give passers-by a glimpse of pretty paints, ceramic trinkets and friendly faces.
The pale wood floors, orange pillars and white walls make the venue seem light and airy with a refreshing bright feel. Colourful examples of what you can do in the cafe are all over the walls, adding vibrancy and something to inspire the creative imagination.
The People
When you walk into All Fired Up there is a sense of serenity which is unusual for a family place. The staff are so friendly and helpful that they make sure that whatever you need, whether it’s a coffee or a paint brush, is calmly taken care of with minimum fuss.
Kids have a great time expressing themselves by painting ceramics (for only £3), or just enjoying making a mess and playing with pretty colours, while parents eagerly encourage and relax with a cappuccino, unless they want to join in (for £4.50).
The happy family feel makes customers feel warm and fuzzy inside as there isn’t any strain, just simple, innocent fun.
The Food
There are simple, freshly baked cakes for £1.90 that are sweet, moist and tasty and are a perfect treat for parents and kids. Favourites like brownies, almond cake and Dorset apple pie are all available.
The Drink
The selection of coffees is what you’d expect, with everything from a simple filter to a chocolaty mocha for £1.55 to £1.80 for a regular size, which is already generous enough. All teas are £1.80, including English breakfast and herbal teas.
To add some extra flavour into your coffee, Amaretto, chocolate, orange and hazelnut flavoured syrups are offered.
The Last Word
A place for all the family to enjoy, All Fired Up is a special cafe that adds a bit of fun to Bournemouth.
