Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Swanmore, Barnaby’s is more than just a coffee shop – it’s a community hub where you can connect with friends, savour delicious treats, and support local causes.

Originally built in the Victorian era as the Old School Room, our building has a rich history in education. After a period of neglect, it was lovingly restored by village volunteers in 2014 and transformed into the welcoming space you see today.

We’d love to welcome you to Barnaby’s. Please note that our opening times may vary depending on volunteer availability and seasonal schedules.
