I went there quite a bit ago, just forgot to post it 😅 The Art Bank is a great place to bring the community together! Its food has a taste i cant forget, and the way they have designed indoors is a 10/10. Would go again

I'd award fifteen stars on each measure if I could. Beautiful place, we loved the home produced look, Cuban music or similar, and everyone was relaxed. Even the young person serving late Sunday afternoon who wasn't familiar with a machiatto. From a little description she cheerfully produced a perfect coffee. I wish we lived nearby

Ah the place is quite special. Beautiful building. Big windows. Sense of spaciousness. Smiley people who make your coffee. They love my dog Daisy. Sipping coffee under a tree, in a cafe, in Shepton Mallet, was not quite my plan this summer but has proven to be my favorite ritual of the day. Beautiful, artistic, open, relaxing, character, colours, creation, music

Wow how have we not been here’s before We had tickets for Patrick Callum Hughes - Thirst. We arrived an hour early to enjoy a meal but only vegan sausage casserole on offer so tucked into cake. 3 drinks on tap both opted for the pale ale very nice and a mixture of nuts. Love the decor which used to be my bank. Good night of laughter/ music/tears. Most seats taken so a good turnout for a Thursday evening We’ll be keeping an eye on future events

A great quirky cafe/bar/art gallery/performance venue. Sit amongst various art installations, enjoy a cup of tea, great cakes, soft and alcoholic drinks. This (you may have guessed) is an ex-bank building with much of the traditional high-ceilinged and high windowed character retained. But unlike banks, it is the venue for many alternative, off-the-wall art and cultural events and workshops. We'll worth a visit to see what's going on.

Fantastic gem of a cafe located in the old bank in the heart of Shepton! I knew from my first peek around the door I had to enter for an explore! From the fabulous recycled artwork on the walls to the mobile phone screens leading to the art exhibition, the whole place is a delightful and colourful feast for the eyes and really (if you are like me!) gets your creative juices flowing! The tunes playing were a delightful mix of upbeat melodies without being too in your face! Friendly smiley staff and a wonderful selection of reasonably priced drinks (throughly recommend their oatmilk Orange hot chocolate!) Will definitely be returning!

Very relaxed & comfortable atmosphere, staff were friendly. However they got our order wrong when we asked for a coffee & tea, only to be served with 2 coffees, they had no pastries or cakes available. They explained they had only been open that day since the weekend, so you would have thought they would use that time to make some knowing they were open on the Wednesday.

My partner and I stumbled across Art Bank Cafe whilst visiting Shepton Mallet and were so glad that we did! There wasn't a great deal going on in the town itself but this place really redeemed it for us, so much so that we returned the next evening. The cocktails were fab and most importantly it has a great vibe. The owner Dmitri was really good fun and made us feel very welcome, he has a great passion for art and has some really interesting pieces on display. I highly recommend a visit if you're in town!

Brilliant meld of interesting art, delicious cafe food & drink and wonderful hospitality from everyone who works there. The food is vegan, which could put off carnivores but it really shouldn’t as all the food, sweet and savoury, is delicious. I’m not vegan but I love it all.. and the coffee is the best coffee I have had anywhere.
