Apple Tree Tea Rooms in West Somerset

What a delightful tea shop....I love to support independent shops... the homemade scones were amazing

Stopped whilst shopping for a pot of tea and a bacon and Brie baguette which was lovely. Dog friendly inside which is a massive bonus. Staff were very pleasant and overall a lovely and unique cafe.

I was delighted to discover this charming tea room after searching several towns, while on holiday, only to find the usual Costa and Cafe Nero. Tea served in a China cup and lovely home made cakes

This is a wonderfully quaint traditional tea room with the most fantastic savoury cream tea. I only give 4 on the food because although excellent they are a tearoom and so no chips or burgers. Also they are cash only.

Awful baguette, I think it may be a self bake one that they didn't bake off! Rubbery, chewy and stale tasting. Strawberry milkshake stated it would contain 2 scoops of ice cream. It was runny and about fridge temperature. They tried again, but I still maintain it only contained milk, as it should have been much colder and thicker. AVOID THIS PLACE.

As a local have used this cafe on many occasions but not again following a visit today. So very rude when I questioned the butter given for my scone which both looked horrid and tasted horrid, it was also completely different to that given to my friend. The older lady maybe owner became very sarcastic and was right in my face when visiting our table, very unnecessary. I'm sure you will have a lovely visit as long as you don't find fault!!

Great little tea room with a very good menu. Food was beautifully fresh and the service was super quick. There’s a nice garden and it’s also dog friendly. You can’t ask for more.

Was after looking and finding most places stop serving after 4pm. We found this place, we did get told no hot food options, so ordered 2 ham cheese and mustard sandwiches and 2 small bottles of apple juice. Food ok, not much ham but lots of grated cheese. Apple juice ( not sure of size but probably 250ml) was also OK Then the shock £20.70 of a bill. Ridiculous amount. If I recall the sandwiches was £6.50 each...so £3.85 for a small apple juice Would like to say staff great, but the feeling was we are intruding. And should go Overpriced

Not overly impressed with sandwich ordered. It states on menu granary bread... it was not even thick sliced bread and no granary 'bits' in it. See photo. Hubby ordered bacon only on farmhouse bread. Medium sliced white loaf, with thin rashers of bacon He was looking forward to thick farmhouse bread. The cost of this was £18.80 - £6.90 per sandwich and £5 for the tea, very expensive for what we received.

Overpriced, farmhouse bread with bacon, thin bread, not farmhouse, bacon ok, very thin, £6.90,

The food was lovely and the staff were friendly. The tea room was quirky . Will definitely go there again .🙂👍

Popped in to try a Somerset cream tea. It would appear that the cafe is busy for breakfast and lunch because at 3pm we had the lovely little tea garden to ourselves. We had both the sweet and savoury scones - both large and lovely ! Old fashioned, quirky little cafe both inside and out well worth a visit.

My wife and myself are currently holidaying in North Devon staying at the excellent Imperial Hotel in Barnstable (Review to follow) and earlier today we visited Minehead for a trip on the West Somerset Railway (Review to also follow). Before doing so, we went for a walk on the nearby The Avenue to find somewhere for some Tea and cake. There was no lack of choice but we opted for the Apple Tree Tea Rooms which is both cosy and comfortable. It also has no shortage of very interesting rtefacts and - perhaps specially for tea. - we were serenaded by Vera Lynn. The tea, cakes (we had some fruit cake and a scone) and service were also excellent so no problems in recommending others to do so!

Dog friendly. Beautiful place with amazing staff. Very welcoming.

Attended with a friend who has swallowing issues. The staff made scrambled eggs and very buttered bread for him. I had two savoury scones with cream cheese, butter, and onion chutney. It was very delicious and the price was good. Staff were very helpful and the cafe was very cosy.

Nice interior, staff friendly and excellent cup of coffee.

Such a great place to get something to eat while in Minehead. Recomend the cream tea which comes with warm homemade scones and homemade jam. Remember to bring cash. There is a cashpoint nearby. Also dog friendly

Visited here last September was so nice that we went back Sunday just gone for an afternoon cream tea scone only 2 of us had a scone each and a coffee was charged £19 which I think is very expensive! Says at top of menu drink and scone yet was charged £6 on top for 2 coffee didn’t want to question price as was busy and felt awkward as the lad that served us was nice. Nice but overpriced payed and left.

Great home cooked scone and jam. Delicious cream tea with so many options including oat and soya milk, three types of jam, different scones and a big list of tea, coffee and soft drinks. A truely customised and scrumptious treat.

After seeing that this cafe only accepted cash, I noted that I had £10 in cash. Myself and my daughter carefully calculated the total cost of the food we were going to order to ensure we would have enough to pay the bill. She ordered scrambled egg and I ordered a toasted teacake. After the server took our order, we were browsing through the menu and realised there was also a breakfast option for scrambled egg which included a hot drink. This being much more expensive. At this point, I approached a member of staff to confirm that we wanted a child's portion and that was accepted. Moments later, an older women came out to our table and told me that an adult portion had already been cooked. I responded that the more costly option was only served between 10 and 12 so I didn't know where the confusion was coming from (it being 1pm). This was met with "I'll have to adjust what else has been ordered to make up for it". Which made us feel like we had committed some kind of criminal act! After making us feel terrible for her server's mistake, she said she would let it go and maybe I could donate some money to a charity box! This service was absolutely disgusting and I wouldn't dream of visiting this antiquated establishment ever again. Also, I have been visiting Minehead for years and this cafe has never accepted debit cards, so the "at the moment we don't except card payments" is absolute rubbish!

A lovely little tea room, where we had a cream tea's 🍵 scones, jam & clotted cream were perfect. Two lovely ladies serviced us and its dog friendly

Lovely friendly little café.serving good food.xx

Great selection we had the afternoon savoury tea which was so tasty and great value paid less for that than a coffee in nearby chain restaurant only issue for me for the toilet there are so many funny signs in there that people spend too long, reading them and can be a queue. Very friendly staff would not hesitate to come here again. Well done ladies

We went into the tea rooms on Sunday afternoon and had lovely scones and a hot drink. The home made cakes looked delicious! Very quirky tea room with lots of pictures and items to look at. Waitress was very friendly and chatted about some of the items on sale in there. Will definitely return when we come back to Minehead.

Absolutely fantastic food, staff and atmosphere, served by the owner who made us very welcome. This is a cash only establishment but there is a cashpoint across the road. Well worth a visit and great value for money.

One of the best places to eat, especially if your gluten intolerant, they go out their way to make you welcome, even gave the kids sticker books to keep them happy whilst waiting for the food

Attention to detail everywhere you look. Charming staff, beautiful food. Yep! Nailed it!

Great little tea room. Nice fresh food made to order, lovely cakes etc. Very friendly staff and a very relaxing atmosphere. It is ultra dog friendly, providing treats and even dog towels on a wet day. We have visited about five times in the last couple of months and have always been made to feel very welcome.

Friendly warm and cosy atmosphere. Plus the meme pictures I the toilets are hilarious. Make sure not to miss them :)

What a gem of a place. So cute, and the best scones by far. Staff we're so friendly and chatty. You have to try the Whortleberry jam. Delicious. Highly recommended

The Apple tree tea room was our go to place when we were in Minehead but after our experience on my last visit we will never go again. On all our previous visits the food and service has been excellent but on our last visit we were left very upset and disappointed by the whole experience and the service we received. Me my husband and two friends attended 2weeks ago we placed our order with the waitress .. who read back the order which was correct however when the order came 2 of the sandwiches ordered were not correct however we thought anyone can make a mistake and initially accepted what we were given. on reflection we realized one of the party could not eat the bread given her and we had also been given two portions of crisps that we hadn't ordered at an extra cost. I called a member of staff over and explained the situation and he then asked an older woman to sort the problem. She very sarcastically said she would remove anything that we didn't want and would replace the sandwiches with the granary bread we actually ordered but did say as the had run out of turkey that they would have to use the same filling which we readily accepted. when the sandwiches came back there was far less than we had returned the sandwiches were much smaller crusts had been removed and instead of the 4 quartered sandwiches there was only 2 on each plate. My husband pointed this out and her response was "I will bring you a knife and you can cut them in half !!!! I wish i had taken photos of the replacement sandwiches received . It was at this point I was very annoyed as the woman's attitude had been very sarcastic and condescending all through and felt as though she was talking down to me .....whatever happened to being courteous to your paying guests. I then asked to speak to the owner as I was not a happy customer only to be told she was in fact the owner at which point I asked where was the usual lovely young lady who was usually in charge was as I had never previously had any problems...... apparently that was her daughter; at which point I did comment that it was such a shame that she didn't take a leaf out her book and treat people with respect. I was very annoyed with the way we were treated and although i told her so i was still respectful to her and was not prepared to be spoken to in that manner. At this point we left and told her we would only be paying for the food and drinks we had actually consumed and that we would never under any circumstances return. We left and went to the Wheelhouse and very extremely happy with our food and excellent customer service

We were visit the area and had sometime to stop for a tea and cake. I had read about this place online. Very easy to find. Public parking is available close by thanks to the park. My daughter had a slice of cake and I had a scone with tea. My only regret, I only had one scone! My advice, order 2! It was lovely and warm and with the clotted cream and jam, it was perfect. Loved the decor, very eclectic. Would go back again.

We must have been unlucky, given all the positive reviews! Sticky table, staff seemed disorganised and not working as a team, standing about and inattentive. Our waitress was sullen, unsmiling and careless… so we didn’t get what we’d ordered and what we did get was mediocre. The whole atmosphere seemed like nobody cared, including the older woman we assumed was the owner who didn’t seem to be noticing how her staff behaved. Very different from other cafes we visited where owners were on the ball and managing their staffs’ conduct all the time. Disappointing, and we won’t go back as there’s much better places and food in the town.

An attractive looking cafe/ restaurant in an avenue with an abundance of various types of food outlets This offers a rather traditional aspect of dining and I would describe it principally as being English cuisine. Moderately priced and efficient staffing, it makes a pleasant place to stop off for tea or coffee or light refreshment. Main meals are also available If you like a traditional tea room where you can take your time, this is a good place to try

Lovely place, very nice coffee and scone (my wife tells me) and a very good cup of tea and toasted sandwich for me. I can highly recommend!! The lady who served us was very polite and attentive. We really enjoyed our visit.

Friday afternoon around 3 pm and we were in need of a cup of tea (and hopefully a cream tea) on the last day of our holiday in this lovely seaside town. After walking up and down the high street and all cafes were either shut or shutting, we eventually found Apple Tree Cafe and were made very welcome. We both ordered a cream tea, mine with the famous Wortlebury jam, and hubby had strawberry jam. The staff were delightful, the tea was in a pot and the scones were warm and homemade. Well worth a visit.

Excellent service received by all members of staff at this lovely establishment would definitely recommend it to anyone looking forward to going back

This is such a lovely tea room, the staff are friendly and food is really nice home cooked and locally sourced. My husband and I had the scone with cream and wartleberry jam. The scones were so good and the jam is on another level. We actually bought some to take home. I would highly recommend.

Coffee diabolical. Tea acceptable. They really need to stop serving coffee! Would not revisit, once bitten twice shy.

Decidedly charming place with attentive and delightful staff. Food is freshly made and the whole place has a cosy, comforting feel to it. The soup was extremely good, the baguettes were fresh and crunchy, the whortleberry jam was unusual and excellent.

We visited the tea rooms whilst on a short break in Somerset. Jacky was fantastic and laid on a beautiful afternoon tea. It is a fantastic place to stop for a break, and we ended up taking some of the cakes back with us as we couldn't eat everything. They are dog friendly, and our little dog Vera said hello to the resident dog Pedro the poodle. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Minehead.

Fantastic place staff very friendly and helpful, dog friendly and greeted with treats and a blanket for our dog. Lovely atmosphere and surrounded. Highly recommend will definitely visit again when in the area. Forgot to mention they have a lovely garden area.

Very friendly and accommodating. Clean and tidy. Good food ,home made and fresh Nothing fussy just friendly service. Would definitely recommend

We visited this cafe on a rainy afternoon in April. The menu is cafe style, fresh, warm scones, afternoon tea, homemade soup, quiches cakes…. Dogs are welcomed with treats, water, towels, etc. Interesting mix of comfortable furniture, chairs and tables, pictures on the walls (you...

Sadly unable to make a proper flat white coffee, only milky coffee with no froth at all. I was informed that I was confused in that only cappuccino has froth! Suggest they visit a proper coffee place or stick to offering tea which by other...

After too many English Breakfasts I was searching for a salad lunch and found one here. It is a comfortable, quirky place. My quiche and salad were delicious.

Called in here with family, order was for crumpets; Toasted tea cake and toasted sandwich, also coffees and teas. Crumpets were like none ever seen before, poor quality! Tea cake was ok, however wrong toasted sandwich was brought out, so waited for another by which...

What a gorgeous tea room. Food was amazing amd beautifully presented. The staff were lovely. It felt so homely while we were sitting there. Amazing !!!

Nice food lovly place at rear for seating out. Friendly staff. We have been before and very impressed. This time however the disorganised chaos just detracted from the visit. One young lady was on the ball with orders. The lady who I suspect was the...

We have been coming to this tea room for many years while holidaying in the area, we visited in July and things were slightly different is it under new management as we missed the usual doggie comforts and we missed naomi

After a visit to Minehead via the West Somerset Railway, we walked around a lot looking for somewhere to eat. Suggested this place as it looked most inviting and welcoming. It's a lovely little gem with a quirky interior space, good menu and reasonable prices....

Dropped into Apple Tree Tea Rooms and had a beautiful cream tea with whortleberry jam, not had this jam before and wasn’t disappointed! Really friendly staff with cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Pedro the poodle also made a special appearance! Will definitely be coming back!

Had lunch here, very tasty bacon and egg mayonnaise baguette, freshly prepared and nicely presented. My wife enjoyed her baked potato with fresh mixed salad. Followed by a slice of delicious chocolate cake. Very happy to recommend and I’ll definitely eat there again.

Really friendly, prompt service. Good tasty food. Had lunch two days in a row having wandered up from the beach with the family. Pâté Platter very nice as were the toasties, children’s meal, all followed by excellent cake. Worth a stop.

Booked an afternoon tea for two, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Good food, which consisted of a pot of tea, two rounds of sandwiches, a scone and a choice of one of five cakes - a generous slice. Topped off with a milkshake, which was...

Issy look after us royally and was very attentive. All the food was lovely and fresh, the cake selection was extensive. Jackie the manageress is also lots of fun and heads up a great team

This tea room, is without a doubt, the best we’ve been too. The atmosphere, the decor, the crockery, the members of staff, everything was perfect! Very well priced, parking was on street, but they only take cash (there is a cash machine a short walk...

Stopped today for light lunch and we were overwhelmed by the welcome and service given. The menu was well set out and easy to understand our order was taken at the table and provided with minimum delay and all provided was fresh and plentiful

Popped in today for a quick bite to eat. My partner and I both had cream teas, our child had a jam sandwich with a glass of warm milk. The food was wonderful and the staff fabulous and attentive. They made us feel really welcome...

Service and food good, would recommend for a lite bite if in Minehead. Sit out front (if sun shining) and watch the world go by

A lovely traditional tea room. Sadly due to short notice staff absence the rear garden was closed when we visited but there are also 4 outside tables at the front so we grabbed one. Despite the staff shortages we were welcomed and service was good....

Spent a lovely quiet hour here drinking coffee and eating delicious cake. Beautiful garden at the back though we chose to sit inside on the comfy armchairs. What was most noticeable was how happy the staff were which made for a lovely atmosphere.

My friends and I decided to try somewhere different for our Saturday afternoon cream tea. Big mistake. I had the savoury cream tea, the scones didn’t taste fresh. More like “warmed up in the microwave”. Stodgy and uninspiring. Real shame as the waitress was very...

Lovely little cafe with nice garden area out the back. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit 😃

We visited this tearoom when we were staying in Minehead a couple of weeks ago. We looked on tripadvisor to find somewhere nice and decided to visit here as it seemed child friendly. We have a six year old and 19 month old. We sat...

Delicious food, great location and friendly staff

A lovely cafe with a warm welcome and friendly staff. Good choice of food and drink on the menu. Great attentive service. Choice of sitting either inside, at the front or in the rear garden available. We would visit again when in Minehead as we had done 3yrs ago.

This is the best place in Minehead without doubt. Great feel to the place, excellent staff, lovely drinks and cakes, including GF. Five of us , along with one cocker spaniel puppy, visited on Thursday and all six of us gave it a big thumbs...

Visited with four others plus our cocker spaniel...wonderful experience, as always. Highly, high recommend it.

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Kind staff. Hundreds of interesting pictures on the walls, both humorous and serious ones. Nice outdoor garden if weather good.

Exceptional service and delicious food. Will be back!

Great cream tea, excellent service very friendly staff.

Very welcoming to us with a dog on a wet day! Warm, comfortable, colour and quirky environment, 40's music, varied artwork on the walls, prompt and friendly service, nice lunch and delicious homemade cakes - highly recommend

Lovely place, We had a snack and a coffee Very polite and looked after well done to all.

Not having been to Minehead for a couple of Years (since before Covid) we headed to Apple Trees for a nice cuppa and a bite to eat. We knew the Cafe was Dog Friendly but we had forgotten how spoilt they are by the owner,...

Lovely friendly staff delicious food and reasonable prices. we'll worth a visit

Best pot of tea I've had in Minehead so far and the ploughman's was so yummy and everything fresh, seemed homemade and very tasty.

Always a welcoming place to enjoy a drink and a piece of cake Well worth a visit

We called in with our Daughter and Son in law and grandkids. The menu was good, food delicious, the staff were welcoming and the whole lunch was perfect and reasonably priced. There is a tea garden at the rear, a small terrace at the front...

Highly recommend, we stopped in today for afternoon tea. We didn’t realise you have to book, but the staff accommodated us at short notice, and were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Food was excellent, would highly recommend and if in area again...

A fair selection of tea rooms in Minehead and so pleased we chose this one. Cosy with relaxing nostalgic music in the background, dog friendly and friendly staff. So many tasty cakes, scones and biscuits to chose from to go with your afternoon tea. The...

Just finished walk up and down north Hill, and we had heard rave reviews of this little tea room... Pot of Earl Grey, and fruit scones with cream and Bilberry/Whortleberry jams... Absolutely lovely place, very quaint, great service, and good quality...

Beautiful tea rooms. Dog friendly too. Very quaint although there is also a tea garden if the weather is good to you. Been here many times over many years and my kids always ask to go back when we visit the area. Food is beautiful the staff are so lovely and kind. Hopefully back next year. Thank you.

Wonderful cafe with outside seating area,lovely coffees, great plowman lunch. If in Minehead go to be done. Very dog friendly.🐶😀

Visited with my daughter, both ordered bacon brie and cranberry toasty on white bread. It arrived on granary bread but we did both mind this although it was quite well done on top. The waitress apologized for the granary bread and offered to change it...

First time in Minehead and what a find! Naomi is just wonderful, as are her team. What a treat. This is a lovely tea room. We sat out front watching the world go by, but the inside is really nice and the rear garden is...

We walked the length of this tree lined row of cafes and shops and something about this cafe drew me in. I think it was the word soup though I had the Ploughmans in the end....as did my husband. The atmosphere inside suited us perfectly as I love music of the 30s to the 60s and my husband is mad about art. Not to say that this is a serious place..the staff are very cheery. A lot of the food is home made and lovely. I could tell this cafe had its fan club who sit and chat wuth the owner and extracare is taken to source great products and cheer up diners n doggies.

Great! Friendly service, fresh food and quirky decor. Kimber (our lab) fell in love with the manager/owner.

So pleased we stopped here for a bite of lunch. Warm welcome and a very cosy tea room. Delicious Ploughman's lunch and plenty of it. All staff friendly and attentive. A nice change from usual cafe types. Definitely recommend

Lovely, cosy, retro tea room. The owner and staff were very attentive and friendly. Worth a visit.

I was taken here for a 'sandwich' this lunch time. There was plenty of choice for light lunches and four of us had a very lovely time there. A bit quirky and a lot good.

Lovely little Tea Room. Friendly staff, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Even though they were close to closing. And the food was wonderful! Had a sandwich and a baguette and a cream tea. Really fresh and well presented. Highly recommended place to eat!!!

Really nice staff. Yummiest afternoon tea
