Bean Shot

A cozy place with great coffee and delicious croissants. Busy scene with a friendly atmosphere and probably the best coffee in town.

The smoothest coffee I’ve ever had, finished my 1st one and was so tempted to immediately buy another! They allow dogs inside (just understandably not on the sofas!) and have a little jar of free dog treats on the counter too. Their decor is eclectic and a lot of care has clearly been taken into the branding and aesthetic with coasters, wall hangings, and pillows. It would be nice to see the menu a little clearer and maybe some explanations on what some of the drinks they offered are for us casual coffee goers :) The music that they were playing was great too, not too loud or too quiet so I’ll definitely be coming back to study with my laptop at the bar table. They’re also very clearly supportive of other local businesses and it’s a great place to come and see the flyers on the wall about what’s going on around town. Plus it’s great to see the pride flags so proudly displayed in the window alongside their daily whiteboard display :) The guy at the counter was very friendly and kind, we couldn’t spy a tip jar anywhere on the counter but left it on the tray anyway!

The best coffee house in Sherborne….maybe the whole of Dorset. G and Alex are wonderful blokes who are chatty, friendly and really know their coffee. I’ve never had a bad cup and have been coming back for more for three years. The vibes are immaculate too and this cafe is dog and child friendly making it the perfect place to relax and catch up with friends or even make new ones. Highly recommend!

So I enrolled myself in a barista course to learn some new skills before starting a new job , great communication from the start and directions on how to find the shop . Alex gave me a warm welcome and was a great teacher , very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient with me as I needed to start from scratch . I would highly recommend this course for anyone from complete beginner to brushing up on existing skills .

Very friendly owner, good coffee and great atmosphere. Very good prices too.

Easily the best coffee shop in the area. Each style of drink is delicious every time since Alex and G know their stuff from buying, to roasting and ultimately brewing. The atmosphere is friendly and the guys are always happy to answer questions and have a chat. Amazing coffee, incredible customer service

Probably one of the best coffees in Dorset. I had a double espresso and a iced coffee, both were delicious

Hard to find a better coffee shop than Bean Shot. Fantastic coffee. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic people. Would highly recommend.
