Brambles in West Somerset

A little bit like the film 'Deliverance' - old white men sat around discussing vile outdated opinions on race, sexuality and the female of the species. They'll all be pushing up daisies very soon. God rest their vacuous souls. Amen. The food was terrrrrrrible. The coffee worse. Do not bother.

We had breakfast and it was brilliant loved it can't wait to come back after the new year to have a another fantastic breakfast

A proper breakfast with pot of tea ( 2 mug fulls) which comes with the food 😋it’s where the locals go, cheapest in the town. Try the home made scones too 😋😋😋

The cafe itself looks a bit tired but we had a generous cream tea and coffee at a good price. Not welcoming but good value for money and we chose to sit outside in the sun.

Nothing seems to have changed since last review (2015). Nice enough coffee, but place still looks outdated. Prices are reasonable though.

Called for lunch, had jacket potato with prawns and salad Good value and freshly made, plenty on the plate

We visited the Shiiine music weekend at Minehead and tried a couple cafes but saw Bramblea on a walk back so today came for a late breakfast. Absolute diamond value- bacon sandwich and a full breakfast with a coffee and can of coke for £8.80! Lovely staff, beautiful position and the best value refuel stop I’ve been to in years. Will absolutely be back again for next visit xx

Visited and ordered cooked breakfasts with fried bread. Excellent food and value for money. We will be back!

Was very apprehensive for some reason when we walked in. From the outside it looked very welcoming. Big mistake inside. Asked for 2 Americans seeing advertised ‘specialist coffee’ to be greeted with oh 2 black coffees! They were wishy washy instants despite the juke box of a coffee machine, tepid with ‘froth’. Quite disgusting! Not very welcoming either. This is purely a quick fix greasy spoon never to be repeated.

Came into minehead and found this lovely little cafe very reasonable on prices compared to a lot round here , the scones and pot of tea was delicious, all drinks piping hot,, if your looking for a snack or tea and scones toasted tea cake , this place is the one ,

we ate a few times during our week stay in mInehead the staff are wonderful, the breakfast was great and price was good value very clean cafe and breakfast freshly cooked

The signs offered some nice items to go with our cups of tea. One of the items we ordered was a toasted teacake. It took for ever to come all had drink 2cups of tea eaten our hot sausage roll and a custard Danish before the tea cake come to our table. When I did come out it was cold and not nice. The only that was any good was the cup of tea

Came here for breakfast and it was surprisingly good. The place doesn't look much but it provides great value home style cooking. The full English was really good and excellent value, staff were friendly and welcoming and it looks like they have a lot of regulars too.

Brambles isn't the smartest place in town it needs updating. That being said, we had a wonderful cream tea. Two large scones with two packs of strawberry jam and a generous amount of clotted cream. The cup of tea was very nice and well worth ignoring the decor for. At £7.50 for two it was extremely good value for money. Don't judge a book by its cover.

I went there for a coffee - after all it's name is Brambles COFFEE SHOP. First of all I looked for the bean to cup coffee machine and couldn't see one, so immediately became suspicious that the coffee would come from a basic coffee machine which I would not like at all. I can make better coffee than that at home. Then I smelled it - the odour of grease, which filled the whole place. This is not a coffee shop at all, I thought, it's just a "greasy spoon" type of cafe. As I walked out I glimpsed at the menu and that's exactly what it is - everything is fried food from what I could see. This might serve good food if you like that sort of thing, but not for me

Absolutely fabulous! Visited the cafe twice in three days now and already planning to go again! Bargain prices and super friendly people. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Definitely worth a visit if you are around town!

This café could be so much better. The sausage rolls and cream tea were really good, but the café and bathrooms need a really good clean at the very least. Really the whole place needs updating.

Thanks Roy for a first class Cream tea from the travelling ticket inspectorTTI (no I am not dyslexic) I had a couple of hours to spare and Brambles made me most welcome and charged a mere pittance for a very adequate cream tea Well Done I will be back in August for some more and more of your wit and unique style of humour

Dropped in with my 91 year old Mum for a snack. Very welcoming, quick service, very nice bacon sandwich and scone. Whilst we were there two disabled people came, one using a wheelchair and were welcomed and found a space without a fuss.

Nice polite staff but had to send for reinforcements as about 8 people came in after us so took time for toasted tea cake to arrive

Had breakfast here 2 days. Cooked fresh happy to make alterations for me. Staff friendly and very good price. Would definitely go again.

Been here on a few occasions. Tasty food and always very welcoming. Lovely for a spot of lunch when in Minehead.

Welcomed by mine host to a friendly atmosphere serving excellent food at reasonable cost. Very user friendly and excellent value.

Lovely place to stop and take a bite to eat, very friendly staff, very good food, lovely atmosphere, recommended

I have been in several times but this time I had a breakfast, unfortunately the sausages were inedible. All the rest was ok.

Old style Cafe with a pleasant owner. Freshly cooked baguettes for lunch were delicious and very reasonable In price. Have visited a few years back and enjoyed our cream tea immensely so we returned, especially. Maybe could do with a face-lift but not if prices sky rocket! A little gem for us holiday Makers.

After a terribly rude reception at the Jubilee Garden Cafe we came across this little gem. Really friendly staff, good choice of food on the menu and very good value too. The cooked breakfast looked yummy and included tea or coffee. I had a toasted sandwich which was spot on. Cannot recommend them enough, we will certainly stop for food again.

Conveniently placed near the shore, we popped in for a cappuccino. Couldn't drink it, no frothing milk machines for them. A bit last century, I'm afraid.

Full English with cup of tea & toast for £4! Fantastic value. Smiley service & helpful. Near sea front, one of the first shops on the strip to the high street.

Lovely to come in to a less touristy place. We had a lovely meal, with friendly service, and for a good price. Definitely somewhere to come back.

Stopped for tea and cake, reasonable prices, cream tea and cakes good, the down side was the tables were dirty, clearly not cleaned between customers.

Definitely worth a visit when you're in Minehead. Great all day breakfast, jacket potatoes well cooked. Well priced. Helpful staff. Access ok in a wheelchair, a little tight getting into the toilet.

Stopped off for breakfast Was early in the morning and was closed but they were happy to open for us Full English was superb and excellent value

This is a lovely cafe and one of my 'must visits' when we come to visit family in Minehead. It is completely friendly from the moment you walk in, is good value and most importantly serves good, tasty food. No gimmicks or pretences, just a lovely place to stop for a cuppa or bite to eat.

£3.50 for a cream tea which is a bargain and what's even better is that it tastes amazing. Our scones were freshly baked and came with plenty of jam and clotted cream. My son had a sausage roll and said that was really tasty too. We come here every year and the owner is always very friendly too. We will be back next year

Unpretentious, friendly little cafe on a street full of too many rip off places. Really nice cappucino and truly massive and fresh baguette for £5. Would recommend.

Stopped here for a cream tea. What good value, 2 scones, cream, jam and a cup of tea £3.50. The scones were fresh and delicious with real clotted cream. It is a small cafe which to me was average, but good value.

Had an English breakfast here. Fantastic food, served quickly. £4 is very cheap. They didn't mind changing an egg for some mushrooms, which can be an issue elsewhere. Large portions. Overall lovely food. Came back the next day but it was closed it's one street from train station, on a corner of 2 streets and a couple of minutes from the sea front.

Went to bramble with friends the owner roy is very nice.also very funny food is lovely will keep going and def tell other people to go aswell

Not to be recommended! Over priced and very rude staff! Food not good. Waiting time lengthy. Floors dirty. Toilets unclean.

always clean and tidy, food very enjoyable at a sensible price. we use it regularly. Easy to reach, close to minehead esplanade and railway.

Although I often pop in here for a coffee, it is impossible to avoid the feeling that everything here is wearing out. The chairs and tables are old fashioned, and I guess that money is the issue in not replacing them. The welcome is friendly enough, but some work is needed.

Stopped here for coffee and a cake, both of which were very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and the service is efficient.

The best breakfast ever, quality food, fresh, decent sized portions and friendly service. Can't reccomend enough!

This man is great brings over breakfast every morning I'm in the shop haven't got a bad thing to say about this guy well done Roy!!!! Keep up the good work

Brambles looks OK from the outside, but once you get inside you can see that, although the place is clean, the decor is very tired. It could do with a revamp. The cream tea was very nice and very good value. It consisted of two scones (you had a choice of fruit or plain), clotted cream, jam and a pot of tea for £3:50 per person. What spoiled it for us, and stopped us giving it a higher rating was the behavior of the proprietor and three of the customers - for the entire time we were in the cafe they were setting the world to rights, slagging off everything in sight. We went into this cafe for refreshments, not a political lecture. We will not be going back again.

Visited Minehead today for a day out and after strolling along the prom and playing with the dog for an hour on a cold windy beach fancied a coffee. Came across Brambles and ordered cream teas - 2 large scones, lashings of creams and jam with a nice coffee, and all for the super value of £3.50Saw other meals coming out which looked really good and cake counter was well stocked and inviting.Everything was priced very reasonable and a good selection available.The venue was clean and tidy just like it should be as well.Credit to the owner for a good job done, making you feel welcome and taking the time for a chat.Would I go back? - of course I would. Highly recommended

been going to brambles on an off for ten years we always have the breakfast and extra toast coffee or tea included great value and quality would highly rec

Clean, prompt service, good wholesome food, not too expensive Staff very helpful. A bit noisy in the bar though

Having given up on ever getting an 'all day breakfast' at Morrisons, we went into Minehead and popped into Brambles looking for a snack. Service is very quick, staff are friendly and the food is hot, fresh and good value. Well worth a visit and recommended.

This is a small corner cafe just off the beach with indoor seating and some outdoor. The food is simple and good, with friendly service and a welcome. Quite a variety for such a small spot and definitely good value for money.

We popped into Brambles as we were passing by during a walk into Minehead. We were greeted by lovely staff and ordered milkshakes and hot drinks with tea cakes all round. What a lovely experience, being visitors to the town it was lovely to be made welcome and to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere in there. We had two young children with us and everyone treated us lovely. Excellent service and good prices too. I must say the popular cream teas look beautiful. Excellent pit stop if your visiting.
