Such a great mid-ride stop, where almost everything is made fresh on site or sourced locally, the cafe at the Blue Egg is a real institution for cyclists and a regular haunt for southern road cycling pros in the UK. It's open daily from 9am to 5pm, but closes at 4pm on a Sunday. Three days a week there's fresh sour dough bread so try and time your ride appropriately ;) The cafe also does its own super delicious, natural energy bars with dates, oats, and nuts so no excuses if your energy dwindles on a long ride.

Blue Egg cafe. Excellent food, lots of choice if you are coeliac, including beans on toast and cake. Warm welcome with bike parking.
