Blue Note Cafe in Mendip

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited The Blue Note Café in Glastonbury, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Now, let’s talk about the food—it was nothing short of amazing! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you're a vegetarian, vegan, or meat lover, the menu has something for everyone, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients really shone through. The café itself has a lovely, cozy vibe with a touch of quirky charm that’s so fitting for Glastonbury. It’s clear that a lot of love and care goes into running this place. If you’re in Glastonbury, do yourself a favour and stop by The Blue Note Café. Excellent food, wonderful staff, and a truly memorable experience. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Coffee was ok but glad I had an espresso not an americano as I would have really had to rush it. I went into the cafe, couldn't see opening times so asked if they were still serving. She said yes but after 10 minutes was locking doors. Had asked earlier for vegan options but was given only food that could be adjusted and was informed that the dairy cheese was cooked on the same equipment as vegan so lactose intolerant and vegans beware. Next time customer asks I would recommend to cafe that they tell customers they are imminently due to shut.

Decent vegetarian food and coffee. Jamie burger and chips was most pleasant

We bought three drinks @ £3.60 each, one was a bit strong, we asked for more hot water and they charged us a £1 for a cup of hot water!. Also, it’s a vegetarian cafe, but they charge an extra 40p for plant milk. Disappointing.

Nice enough cafe, but very expensive. We were charged £3.60 for a very small cup of lemon and ginger tea. When I asked for more hot water to dilute it as it was so sweet I was asked for £1 for a small cup of hot water! My friend who had a coffee was charged 40p for oat milk- on what planet does oat milk cost so much more than dairy?! Also, the owner was quite rude because I’d bought some biscuits from the bakery up to Road as a gift. She asked me not to eat them there-which I had no intention of doing-no smile.

Excelente ensalada y precioso bollo de haloumi con salsa de chile dulce y papas fritas. Las bebidas eran muy sabrosas y todo el mundo estaba bien hecho. Recomendamos encarecidamente este café.

Visited today and was really shocked at how one of the waitresses spoke as she rushed around, we were collecting menus which are located right where the staff go behind the counter and she bellowed at us that she needed to get through where we were standing. We weren't the only ones who she spoke like this too, if you don't want anyone standing next to the entrance to the back of the counter don't place the menus there!!! It was very busy but that is no excuse for the way we and others were spoken too. The rest of the staff were really friendly and couldn't be faulted shame it was let down by just one person

Nunca tuve una mala experiencia en Blue Note y tenía otra comida hermosa allí hoy. Nos aprovechamos del increíblemente razonable acuerdo de panini. Tomé la sopa de puerro y papa más hermosa con panini de brie y arándano. Hubby tenía panini de queso y tomate con una montaña de patatas fritas. 50 cada uno y vale cada centavo. También tenía manzana, limón y té de jengibre - hermoso, rodajas de limón y trozos de jengibre en él. Quería una segunda taza, pero teníamos que irnos. No veo la hora de moverme para poder hacer de esto mi acecho regular.

Fuimos aquí para almorzar, ya que había una gran cola en el café Rainbow End al otro lado de la calle. Blue Note se clasifican como un restaurante vegetariano y apto para veganos. Las opciones veganas eran extremadamente limitadas. Tuve que preguntar qué opciones eran veganas ya que no estaba etiquetado en el menú como tal. Quería la hamburguesa más allá, que sé que es vegana pero me informaron que se fríe en la misma freidora que el queso. ¿POR QUÉ? Solo otras opciones eran ensalada aburrida de sonido simple o una patata chaqueta muy cara con chile vegetal. Optó por la patata chaqueta. Resultó ser un plato muy insípido. No venía con mantequilla vegana. Dejé la mayor parte como era tan soso. También tenía un brownie de chocolate, pero era la única parte agradable de la comida. No hay mucho servicio de atención al cliente ... no - uno preguntó cómo era nuestra comida. No me impresionó... muchos otros lugares mejores para ir. Si eres vegano prueba la Pirámide que recomiendo encarecidamente.

Siempre vienes por su delicioso café con cúrcuma cuando estoy en Glastonbury. Es un lugar encantador y agradable, y una mesa en el patio en un día soleado es un placer. El personal también. Sin duda mi café favorito de Glastonbury.

Buena comida, personal amable, precio razonable, buenos tamaños de porciones. Teníamos la hamburguesa vegetariana mexicana y nachos, deliciosos

We used to frequent the blue not a lot a few years ago and so when an old friend was coming down from Inverness we arranged to meet up at the Blue Note, for old times sake. My god, never again. The service was non existent, having to order at the counter, collect your own cutlery and report back on your table number. They did bring the food to the table. There the real disappointment started. The menu was frankly terrible. It was like a cross between a greasy spoon and a 1990"s version of a McDonalds veggie menu. Vegetarian food, one would hope for at least some interesting salads, falafel, hummus etc, and maybe more, given it is Glastonbury. Not at all it was bad veggie burgers the consistency of carpet, quorn from the supermarket, nachos and jacket potatoes. My burger and chips arrived on a side plate, the portion was so small. The burger bun was tiny and toasted but it didn't disguise it as stale. My companions nachos were just average. It is also expensive. Bad food, no service and a high price. If they stay open I would be doubtful in a competitive market. Oh yes, nothing vegan !

Lovely & friendly vegetarian place with loads of vegan options. My only constructive feedback would be that it would’ve been good to have vegan options marked on the menu

Not the most friendly staff. Went there for lunch. Was informed that since they had no vegan options suitable for me on the meny I was adviced to go somewhere else. I was in company among friends who already ordered. So decided to sit with them and skip lunch. No problem. When I went for a glass of water I was informed it was only for guests. Thanks. :) not coming back.

Buongiorno, sono stata qui a pranzo con la mia famiglia, il locale é molto bello e il personale molto gentile ed efficiente. Il cibo era ottimo.

Wanted to say that the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating to a small family. Good food, great coffee, and an atmosphere you’d expect at Glastonbury. Nice courtyard outside too.

Can i please give more than 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐? This is THE PLACE to be when in Glastonbury for some nice comfy food and the best terrace one could find here. The staff is AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY and the food is so good. My holiday starts the minute I Sit on the terrace with some nice food. Go there! You won't regret it!

Lovely and very friendly staff but unfortunately rather terrible/overpriced food - the sandwich and jacket potato we had were rather sad.

What a great spot in the middle of High Street.

A really great cafe in the middle of Glastonbury. The food is all vegan and super delicious. The staff is very friendly and always has a smile on their faces. I'll definitely come back here when I'm in Glastonbury❣️

Fairly priced. Wonderful staff who are always happy,even under pressure when they are busy. Well done people you're all stars!!!!⭐💯💜👋🖤

My favourite place to eat in Glastonbury. Food is delicious and the staff is so welcoming.

Had a gorgeous brie sarnie and chai tea. Delicious! Made even better by the lovely women behind the counter, good music and overall vibes. Will be back!

Such a lovely find. It was the day of Beltane and we thought we would never get in. We did get a table in the window. Food, service excellent, very friendly with a lovely vibe. Highly recommended. I think you can also reserve tables for lunch, which is ideal. The food was delicious, well presented, served with a smile, makes all the difference.

Lovely place to come for food. Space to eat inside and out back in the courtyard. Toilets are funny as you have to ask for a code to a little shack, but adds to the vibe of the place. Food is good and staff are friendly! Ended up popping in twice in one day as their coffee was recommended also.

Always friendly and nice! Very accommodating and delicious food. Very reasonable prices and great location. In warmer weather it’s lovely to sit outside too.

Two of us had falafel burritos, the other a beetroot burger, all with seriously crisp chips. Very tasty, freindly helpful staff, would really recomend!

The lady serving today was so bubbly and friendly💓 Atmosphere in here is welcoming and homely. Thank you for a beautiful hot choc x

Amazing food, Amazing place and Amazing service! Always my favourite when I visit Glastonbury 💖💖

Fantastic lunch,simply best veggie establishment been to .warm genuine welcome from Abbie who reeled off z long list of hot choc options...,finally drawing breath for "malteserz cream and flake."So no choice -,simply had to bre.(..& proved to be simply the best ever). ! Partner wowed by cheese nachos snd veggie chilli(extra jalapeños?.."..no problem"... My haloumi wrap and chips( calories mitigated by trluly fresh salad and proper coleslaw and beetroot. Setting,between typical Glastongury shops and on the high Street,with lovely back yard. Pretty darned perfect! Thankyou ladies.

Lovely cafe, great cake and dog friendly!

So welcoming and friendly. Really made very welcome. The food and coffee were really to a high standard. Service was fast

Stopped here on Glastonbury for coffee and cake. Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Nice cakes and well made coffee. Cafe was 100% vegetarian and the menu looked inviting. Well worth a visit if you're in Glastonbury.

I came here while looking for a place that did breakfasts, other cafes didn't have that appeal for some reason, I didn't realise at the time it was vegetarian breakfasts but glad I had it, was lovely... Speaking of lovely, so we're the staff... There is a comment in the reviews about being called my darling or my lovely whilst being served that it offended that person... Stop being such a snowflake... That's glasto way baby yeah, genuinely nearly every shop it's the same response. These ladies in this cafe do everything right I will certainly go back again so thank you ladies your all blooming delightful and do a fantastic job, food and drinks spot on. Shame this is in Glasto, because I would be going here all the time else.

Fabulous cafe, always has been. Food and drink are always solid and the staff come across as being highly motivated and enthusiastic despite also seeming permanently busy!

Great service from really friendly staff...simple but delicious food

Great place, great staff, thanks

This is our favourite place to eat. The food is really super ,and the cook really cares that you enjoy it. The best potato wedges in the world ! Generous portions of everything. A seating area in the courtyard where you can enjoy watching the splendid selection of people to be seen in Glastonbury town. As visitors its always a big part of our Glastonbury experience.

We call in this cafe for a coffee we was so impressed with the staff and service we went back for lunch the staff was fantastic thanks you made our day 😀 😊

I was in the cafe recently and found the staff to be quite insulting, calling me darling in an offhand manner. I had gone in for tea and cake in a pleasant environment and did not expect to be treated this way. If staff can’t be respectful to customers then they shouldn’t be working there. Please be aware.

Great place for food and drink staff where lovely and food was really good

A gem. Stumbled across Blue Note when looking for a quick bite to eat that was dog friendly. Really liked it, lovely food, nice people you can chat with, great atmosphere. Would definitely pop back whether just for a cuppa, some cake or something more substantial. Our dog got a couple of biscuits too, so he was happy.

We popped in for lunch and had potato and leak soup. The quality of the food and service were excellent.

First visit to Glastonbury and first visit here. Cakes are awesome. Fell in love with Turmeric Latte! Great atmosphere. When I spoke to a woman, presumable the boss about the atmosphere. She replied saying its like 'poor man's theatre'. Everyone gets a warm welcome, a smile and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Lovely secluded courtyard behind. We went back two days later for more of the same and were not disappointed.

Try the turmeric latte!! Amazing!!

Food was nice. Staff very welcoming. Worth a visit

An experience waiting to happen! Staff amazing and treat everyone like a friend. A place I keep coming back to

Food is good, toilet is away and needs to ask for a key which is inconvenient at all. Paid for restaurant price but felt like dine in in fast food restaurant 😂 not sure it's because atmosphere or what . Not judging, just telling my feelings. Well...it's ok if you just need somewhere like Costa to seat down for food tho.

Never been here before and only popped in for coffees as it was raining! The coffee's were lovely and the staff were all delightful, friendly and happy!

First of all the tattooed barista deserves a raise! Her coffee skills are second to none and her customer service exceptional!!! She brought the life and soul to the cafe on a very busy period!! She sold us the specials which were very under priced for the obviously local quality. This girl is the reason to come for coffee in Glastonbury

Local man decided to start using this as breakfast spot, only to be snapped at by the owner. Thought oh perhaps just a bad day, then it kept on happening to me and not other customers. Wish I knew what it was and not have to write this. A sad experience!

Best cafe in Glastonbury. Service and the vibe in here is unmatched!

the most delicious halloumi wrap i've had in a long long time!!!! absolutely lovely staff, wonderful food, and all round such a great atmosphere! would recommend to anyone coming to glastonbury and i will definitely be back!

Always a pleasure. It'd have to be for a 160 mile round trip for a cup of tea.

Just eaten here and here is my honest, and stern, review. Firstly, zero customer service, no welcome, no “Enjoy your meal”, and no “Thanks for coming” as we left. Literally nothing. In fact, my whole group felt like undervalued customers despite spending quite a decent amount of money between us. The food, after waiting at least 30mins (even though 2 meals were literally a salad), the food arrived. In fairness, despite the long waiting time, the food was visually appealing, and improved our morale, which had dropped substantially at that point. The food was ‘okay’, nothing special, and for the prices, especially the salad, not worth it really. With the burger, you get a portion of chips at the colossal number of 5 (6 max), which was incredibly underwhelming. In conclusion I want to end by saying this cafe was overpriced and lacked in customer service, but the food was ‘okay’, despite the portions being questionable. 2/5.

This is my 4th visit ,it seems to be always the same here ,loud mouth waitress bellowing away at the counter rather spoils what could be a nice cafe ,food and coffee are good , and service is or has been fairly quick.

What a lovely place to eat. Friendly staff and the food was exceptional, and its dog-friendly inside and out too... and we had three with us !! We opted for the halloumi salad, and a side of cheesy chips each and though we were hungry I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs !! The various homemade salads were amazing, I especially liked the potato salad, and the various pasta salads. The halloumi was cooked to 'melt-in-your-mouth' perfection. Nowadays its hard to find a good vegetarian meal. let alone an exceptional one but this definitely fell in to to exceptional category. We will be telling all out friends and family about you !! Definitely recommend.

Amazing lunch, I'm not a big salad fan but the houmous one was amazing as you can see by the picture, the best I've ever had. The energy and positive vibe of the staff though makes this place next level, their customer service was exceptional but I was smiling listening to them how they greeted other customers whilst I was eating my food outside in a great surrounding. Their positive vibe and attitude is infectious, really stand out and a joy to behold. If ever I return to Glastonbury I'd have no hesitation in going back there, it is fully deserving of a five star review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I live part time in Glastonbury and love this cafe, it also has a lovely outside area too in the Glastonbury experience courtyard. The staff are friendly and the food snd coffees are excellent. Love it here

Very friendly and best burger we've ever had!

Fantastic wee cafe in the heart of Glastonbury. Best flat white around, without a doubt and the schnitzel burger is a must eat.

Very good. Had farafel beetroof, mixture of salads and flat bread. Very tasty. Sat outside in courtyard. Lovely cup of tea. Staff were brilliant. Thankyou.

Great food really friendly staff

We've been here a few times now and the friendliness and great service never changes... it's a great place for lunch.

I came to this cafe over 30 years ago and it was fantastic then, my Dad always had a coffee while we shopped, he said it was the only place that chilled him out! 30 years on,I took my family there,and to great delight,it was still fantastic! The staff, food and cake was delicious! Keep up the good work ladies!!!By far the best cake and coffee I have ever tried!

Best cafe in Glastonbury! The staff are so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you. Me and my partner was a bit late for breakfast but the staff was more than happy to make us something off the breakfast menu. Very friendly place and you get a warm feeling when spending your time in there. Food is very fresh and tasty and the coffee is really good.

Always busy, great coffee and staff

Fabulous staff team couldn't be more welcoming and friendly they then delivered the most beautiful looking and tastiest coffee

Popped in for what I expected would be just a regular 'nothing special' cafe lunch to get out of the cold wind and a quick bite to eat whilst shopping. Was blown away by how amazing the food was. The vegetarian lasagne was honestly the best I have ever had, amazingly tasty. We also had the Jackfruit wraps and a Mac and cheese and it was all beautifully presented and lovely. The staff were so welcoming and super friendly. Will definitely make sure we visit again the next time we are in Glastobury.

Always the best place local! Great food and drink made well and professionally! Gorgeous atmosphere and in the heart of a great town! Only downside is one members of staff don't seem to wear a belt and well we all know what that means...just a little off putting

I visited last week and was appalled by the service. I asked for a wet latte and was served what I can only describe as a cappuccino. After I asked for it to be remade the loud girl behind the bar (didn’t catch her name but was petite with tattoos) aggressively told me my drink was made how it should be. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for my drink to be made exactly how I like. Will not be returning and I’d advise anyone else to use one of the many other cafes in the area

We have been coming to Blue Note at least for 20 years, it does not disappoint! It has changed hand few times - but staff is always pleasant and accommodating. Good coffee, clean and fair priced - That's all we need! Thank you :)

The first thing I noticed was how kind , helpful and friendly the staff were. There was such a great choice of beverages and I can highly recommend the Mince Pies! Good location.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, brilliant service

Lovely friendly staff, fabulous breakfast! Best fried mushrooms and scrambled eggs I've ever eaten.

Great comfortable place to eat and drink with friendly and cheerful staff

Great vegan food, service, hospitality. Can't wait to return!

This is always a lovely experience great food friendly staff even tho they where busy with a large group of tourists coming in a member of staff suffering from heat exhaustion on one of the hottest day of the year the food still came out quickly and service with a staff

Absolutely amazing place, gave me the info for the schnitzel burger (as I have an egg allergy) and even though I had just cycled from Bristol and looked rougher than a bag of rusty nails, they gendered me correctly (she/her) and were friendly. As always (been here many times in the past) the food was absolutely stellar, coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was lush. Best cafe in Glastonbury! 💜 PS - I totally came for the burger specifically, so thank you got making sure there was no egg in it for me! 💜

Lovely food, staff and service, we combed the town before landing here as we're vegans and it was def the right choice. ceiling fan, courtyard garden and open front door meant very tolerable temps, even in this super hot time. Highly recomme ded...try the felafal salad, you wont be disappointed!

for somewhere that is a vegitarian cafe, its surprisingly unfriendly for vegans. i would have expected much more on offer than falafel and chilli. i feel like we would have has a better meal in an ordinary cafe. shame as i used to go here a lot

The cafe was very busy when we visited, but staff warned us that the food would take a while when we ordered, which was helpful so we could decide whether to stay or go. We sat in the outdoor couryard with our dog. It's all...

Visited lunchtime on a very hot Saturday, sat outside in the courtyard which gives easy, flat, disabled access. Menu is extensive making veggie choice difficult. I had a falafel wrap with salads, hubby had jacket potato with cheese. The jacket was huge with plenty of...

The food is amazing with a lot of veggie food to offer.

I went in for a drink with my family I was visiting. The manager was rude to us when we first walked in, and was also rude to us as we were leaving. Other than to be rude the manager did not acknowledge any of...

I love the blue note cafe, the menu is really well thought out, the staff very friendly and it's just lovely sitting outside in the courtyard!

Localino con uno spazio esterno delizioso , personale cordiale gentile e disponibile cibo fresco , buonissimo e molto digeribile ....

What a crying shame. I've known this place for years and loved it. The quirky, colourful decor and staff, and great food and atmosphere made it a must visit place to go in Glastonbury. It has now turned into a bland and boring cafe, just...

Good food, great service, lovely staff, nice atmosphere

Always high quality and delicious food

Well another year older and another just begun with STILL continued excellence from this brilliant vegetarian cafe.. Covid cry your heart out.. you didn't break the spirit of Glastonbury or these hardworking people. May they prosper well in the coming year. Lovely vegetarian food to order, friendly staff make you feel like part of a family, loyalty card, good background music.... Recommend them to everyone I meet. Americano with milk on the side please.

I try to come here every time I visit, absolutely love it. The employees are friendly and helpful, you always feel welcome and when the weather is nice you can sit out in the courtyard to eat. It’s just a lovely little café.

Good cup of tea! Great cake. Really friendly service.

This was my highlight of yesterday. We had to wait a while because of half term. But who’s rushing. This is Avalon !! Absolutely amazing. This sounds over the top for a Schnitzel burger with Halloumi !! But it was. I forgot how nice they...

Amazing jacket potatoes with cheese and beans 😋

I was surprised to see so few vegan options on the menu for a vegetarian café. However what there was is good quality (assuming you aren't vegan!) and fresh. Hopefully when we visit next time they'll be a refreshed menu

Superb freshly cooked food. Not an extensive menu but those sweet potato fries are dangerously good! Excellent coffee including flavoured. Small out door seating area with a slight waft of incense from nearby shops. Dog friendly and very reasonable prices for a tourist heavy town. Fully accessible for disabled buggys and chairs.

I was paying for our drinks at the till, and a woman approached my little brother who was saving our table outside, who had just had a bite of a pasty bought from else where. My issue is not that you cannot eat food from...

We arrived at the end of the lunchtime rush on a sunny day in mid-August. There was a huge queue and we thought about trying somewhere else, but didn't regret staying. The service was friendly and efficient; we didn't have to wait long despite the...

Had a lovely lunch here.The cafe is spacious and also has outside dining at the rear. I chose the falafel salad for lunch which was delicious and came with several small portions of different salads.
