Like Mum Makes is a small, family-feeling café tucked into Wonderholme Parade on Kinson Road, in the Wallisdown & Winton West area north of Bournemouth town centre. As the name suggests, the whole idea is comfort over fuss, home-style cooking that leans on classic recipes rather than trends.
What's on the menu
Breakfast is where the café makes its name, with fry-ups built around sausages, bacon, eggs, black pudding and all the trimmings, priced from around £5.95 for a smaller plate up to £10.95 for the full works. The café says its ingredients are locally sourced, and it caters for vegetarian and gluten-free diets alongside the standard menu. Beyond breakfast, it's also served up daily lunch specials, past boards have included a Chinese-style chicken curry and a beef stew with dumplings, so it's worth asking what's cooking on the day.
Eat in or get it delivered
It's a genuine neighbourhood café rather than a destination restaurant, with dine-in seating at the parade plus its own delivery run and a listing on Just Eat for anyone who'd rather stay in. That mix of sit-down breakfasts and takeaway comfort food has made it a popular local spot, reflected in strong feedback from regular customers online.
Good to know
Opening hours are shorter early in the week, Monday and Tuesday mornings only, 9am to 1pm, before stretching to 8:30am–2:30pm Wednesday to Saturday and 8:30am–1:30pm on Sunday. As with any small independent café, it's worth ringing ahead (01202 920337) if you're making a special journey.
Like Mum Makes sits a little away from the seafront, but it's a solid option if you're exploring north Bournemouth. For more café and restaurant options, browse our food & drink guide, or see our things to do guide for the rest of the area.
