Brazier Coffee Roasters in Taunton Deane

You have to have been taken to this place by someone in the know as its out of Wellington and tucked away from sight. Great interior and atmosphere, good menu although it bit too modern for my 90 year old mother so we stuck to coffee and cake which we're both delicious. Worth a trip.

We did the Intro to Coffee 2hr course with Tom (5 of us) and we were really impressed. Tom’s knowledge and explanation of the many varieties of processes behind coffee from its growth all the way to making an espresso was brilliant. The course shot by really quickly and we all really got a lot out of it. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Really don't want to tell anyone about this lovely place in case it becomes too popular!

Absolutely delicious. Rustic vibe with great chilled music and a menu that never disappoints. The coffee is fabulous.

Nice quiet café. Good food at a premium. Decent service.

My partner and I love this place. The coffee is my favourite from any coffee shop I've ever been to and we buy their beans so we can have it at home! The food is lovely as well, not 100% to my taste but still very good indeed and their cakes and pastries are excellent. All that paired with great service from a lovely team makes the whole experience a brilliant one. Definitely recommend!

What a gem hidden off the street! Lots of unique flavours on the menu, recommend the truffled mushrooms. Coffee very good. Lovely building.

First time visit. Love the vibe and feel of this place. Coffee was good, mine needed to be stronger which was sorted without fuss. Food was tbh not great, I really wanted it to be. Cooked breakfasts were just ok (lacked flavour and needed to be hotter), banana waffles very heavy on the creme fraiche, poached peaches excellent and the N African/ ME breakfast was described as nice but watery.

Food was good, for the price the portions were a little bit to small (or to expensive) it was very chilled inside coffee was good. Parking spaces on the street. Dogfriendly and the waffles with porc was very delicious

Always enjoy it there good chats with friends and family

Fantastic coffee, superb food and lovely surroundings. Incredible quality of coffee, whether brewed in house or taking whole bean home to enjoy. The blends are varied, well considered and very enjoyable, and the single origins are unbeatable.

Quirky cafe semi hidden in a heritage building. Worth finding.

Tucked away little spot. Somehow buzzing and calm simultaneously.

We went to Braziers (Wellington) to gain more information on the roasting of the bean to cup procedure where Rob gave us a brilliant overview and demonstration with the roasting.. He was so brilliant that we went ahead and bought a bean to cup coffee maker after buying different variations of the beans that Brazier sell including their Swiss watered decaf bean which is decaffeinated by the chemical free process.. Their coffee is absolutely devine and their breakfast was the best.. Customer service in the coffee shop was again brilliant.. many thanks, Braziers will be seeing a lot more of us in the future

Really nice I would pay triple for the food

Greeted by a friendly young lady on arrival, asked to sit where tables were laid up but we needed 3 seats rather than 2 so went to a bigger table being cleared. We asked if we could sit at the table being cleared and we're completely ignored. Just waited and sat there anyway. A nice lady came to take our order, unfortunately the table wasn't wiped and was covered in crumbs. Our food came and it was very disappointing. I had the crispy egg with truffle mushrooms, no seasoning or at least couldn't taste any, the toast was absolutely sodden in oil that had been put on it or from frying mushrooms, the egg was barely cooked, it was just slop, it was really not a nice breakfast. My husband had a the fry, a top end price for a fry up which we dont mind paying if its worth it. A slither of over cooked black pudding, one egg, swimming in tasteless baked beans. We have just moved to Wellington across the road from tone mill, we eat out a lot it would've been nice have somewhere to go for breakfast, but won't be going again. I suspect it might be due to lack of experience as all the staff look really young. The bread and cake looked good and the coffee was nice. The building is interesting. That was all.

Excellent coffee, atmosphere and staff.

Lovely cafe serving some great food at a reasonable price. Truffle mushrooms were lovely.

Lovely little cafe. Coffee and cakes we had were amazing

Lunch was fantastic, full of flavour, sensible price. Staff are really welcoming, polite and

Love this place, but they forgot our food and lost our ticket so when we asked where it was they had to retake our order. By this time we had already finished our drinks and it had been about half an hour, they didn’t offer to replace drinks so we could have them with the food, so it wasn’t as pleasant as it could have been!

Our visit yesterday (3 friends) wasn't as enjoyable as previous visits. Quite difficult to find something simple and tasty to order from the menu - I had the mushrooms on sourdough with a crispy poached egg which was fine. My friends asked for bacon baps but no baps so thick chunks bread was very doughy and not an easy eat! One had sausages which she didn't want! Had to ask for tomato sauce. No salt on the table. Service was ok but could have been so much better. Lots of flies flying around the windows which need a good cleaning inside and out. I managed to swat 3 or 4 but maybe this lovely little café needs some attention to detail and if they want local customers to keep returning.

Consistently great coffee, well it should be when it's the home to Brazier Roasters! The Fry is always very good & my go to food choice, sometimes they have sourdough bread for sale. Extremely dog friendly & chilled.

So very welcoming and friendly. No question a silly one the staff are lovely. I suffer with severe anxiety and feel at ease around the staff the carrot cake is so good i phone up before leaving to make sure there’s plenty.

Popped in this morning for some brunch. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Food was delicious as was the coffee. I haven’t had a braziers coffee for a while so it was a real treat

A gem tucked away at Tonedale Mills. One of the very few places locally serving breakfasts at the weekend that also welcomes dogs. As a result there is a loyal following; other places like Sheppeys Cafe and Rumwell Farm shop should take note. It was so good we went back twice in one day bringing another group with us. The breakfast Fry Up was huge, delicious, coffee great and the cakes in the afternoon were good too. The only negative was that the all day brunches stopped serving at 2.15pm while the cafe stayed open until 4pm and it only said it in tiny print on the side of the menu. The large young men in our return group were hoping for food, so had cake instead. However, this is a fantastic place, worth seeking out and I hope it's there to stay. Best to book a table as it is busy from 10am to 12.30pm

I had the avocado, poached egg with chilli oil on toast £12.50. This does not warrant £12.50! 2 of the smallest eggs and half a tiny avocado. 2x standard slices of bread. Disappointing!

Love this place. Bought a bag of the house roast. Staff super friendly, food 10/10, drinks and coffee 10/10, atmosphere lovely

Coffee and location fab. Sadly breakfast bacon quite over cooked and hard.

I can't share all the details - but their sourdough is legendary.

This is proper coffee. And good cake, which is what we had so I can't talk about the food but it looked good. Nice venue with lots of outside seating. Great coffee, really enjoyed our visit.

The best coffee we have ever tasted. The Mill Town is especially good. A testament to this is that we now buy 1kg bags at a time! All coffee has arrived as freshly roasted as possible, around two days after roasting. Well well worth every penny.

Amazing coffee. Just all round brilliant

Lovely cafe with excellent brunch. Great staff and lovely setting. We called in for brunch. It was very busy but we only had to wait a little for a table. Two of us had the creamy truffle mushrooms with a crispy poached egg on a brioche bun. Really tasty. The other choice was the Spanish breakfast which was potato, chorizo, tomato, parsley, shallots and a posched egg. The food was great. Two coffees and one hot chocolate to go with a lovely brunch. Bought some ground coffee to take home as well. Fab.

Love this place for coffee, cakes, brunch or lunch! The building and decor are nice, and there is always a nice atmosphere inside, but most importantly the coffee is excellent which is why I keep returning! Also, they are dog friendly too!

Tasty and nice. Staff is friendly. A bit noisy when it's busy.

Great coffee, unfortunately we’d missed lunch as the brunch menu looks great. Cake was very good too.

Lovely place to meet up for coffee, good selection of drinks, great design and atmosphere.

Such a lovely atmosphere. Food is always unique and tastes so good! They change the menu a lot so it’s a nice variety. The staff are lovely. Reallllly good coffee. It’s a little hard to find, but I think that just adds to the charm!

Blown away every time we come here.. Gorgeous coffee, roasted on site. Lovely selection of cakes. A great place for a natter. You honnestly cannot get better in Somerset! 💕

Great place to meet for coffee. We didn't eat.

Beautiful venue. Food menu looked wonderful however it was only as the food arrived to our table that the servers said we don't do that anymore, here's the alternative. I would have expected this information at the time of ordering as that would have impacted on choices. Standard brunch quality for food.

Lovely place that oozes character and charm. We only had coffee but that was great and was a lovely environment to be around.

A really nice coffee shop with a great selection of cakes.

I really want to rate it higher because it used to be great, but it seems to be getting worse each time we visit. Food is good when it's good, but is increasingly hit and miss, and it's expensive, so should be better. The service these days is glacial and begrudging, no matter what day or time you visit it always feels they are unprepared to be serving customers, with too few staff and those you can see ignoring you. It's very easy to wait 15 minutes to be served and an hour for your food. Last time we visited we had finished our drinks and sat waiting for over 40 minutes for the food to accompany it. We like to support local businesses and have been regularly buying their coffee for over a year but I am particularly frustrated that no matter how many times we asked for coffee to be ground for a stove top espresso kettle we get blank stares as though I've made it up and am wasting their time. One would have thought a company who prided itself on being an artisan coffee roaster would know what this is. Seems like all this could be solved with more staff and better training, but it doesn't seem to be happening. It's a shame, but time to look elsewhere I think.

Coffee is amazing Food is a bit hit and miss. I had fried chicken with kimchi and waffles this time which were great

Enjoyed my flat white. Liked the bright spacious venue. Look forward to next time

great coffee and food…staff delightful

Lovely cakes. Disappointed that only whole milk is used. I also think for hygiene reasons the male assistant should have his hair tied back.

Really lovely cafe. Great atmosphere and lovely staff! Dogs very welcome. Food is great and the options are a little bit different from most brunch places which was fab Worth a visit

Excellent, very well-priced, single origin coffee served in a chemex bottle (that could have done with another turn in the dishwasher). Food well presented but lacked a little in flavour. Attentive staff. Attractive, sensitively adapted building.

Really lovely coffee and food. Best breakfast in the area! Hidden gem and dog friendly ☕🍳

Good coffee, nice old place, popular

Great atmosphere. Great coffee and cake selection. Staff so polite. Highly rate this place. Will definitely go back.

A real gem hidden away on the old factory site. Plenty of seating indoors and some benches outside. Good service by friendly staff. A good selection of cakes and hot food if required. A popular spot and a good cycling fuel and feed stop. Dog friendly too. Lovely smell of roasting coffee lingering outside.

The stars are for the staff and decor. If I could give zero for the food and coffee I would. The place is really cute and the staff are absolutely lovely. The food is almost entirely premixed/processed. The bread and sauces are fantastic, but the avocado tastes worse than you can get at a corner shop with a broken cooler. The ‘rosti’s’ are little more than frozen hash brown rings. The flavour profiles should be delightful, but they fall flat as under seasoned and over-acidic. The coffee— whether at a roasting level or a barista one— is burnt and incredibly bitter. Significantly over-priced for what it is. Sad as it’s one of the few local/boutique eateries we’ve got.

Lovely space for coffee and cake!

Very nice breakfast (‘The Fry’) and a decent flat white. Quick friendly service.

Awesome coffee shop , great lunch and sweets ! The quiche was wonderful !

We really wanted to love this place, given how amazing it looks. We detoured quite a way out of our journey to stop off, but were really disappointed when we tried the coffee. We ordered 1x flat white and 1x latte, there was no latte art and found the coffee to be extremely milky and thin, with no smell or taste beyond hot milk and no difference in each of the drinks, beyond volume. There were also coffee grounds in both, so hopefully just a bad day with the machine not set up right Staff and atmosphere were great, just didn’t hit the mark with the coffee sadly

We took a bit of detour for brunch coming from Burrington driving towards Cotswold. This place was exactly how reviews said. It was lovely to see how an old building was reformed to a cafe and roastery. Rich Menu and friendly staff. Do try the coffee! We ended up buying packs of coffee for gifting.

This is such a cool place! Seeing old buildings repurposed in such a natural way is great. And it also helps that the drinks and coffee were delicious and the food was amazing too! The oat milk chai latte was one of the best I’ve had in a while, and the sweetcorn fritter in the veggie breakfast was a new flavour to me and more delicious than I thought it was going to be. I would definitely come back here for brunch, lunch, a drink or a piece of cake again!

Gorgeous tucked away little gem! Fantastic breakfast and lunch options in a beautiful historic building. Lovely staff and unsurprisingly great coffee too.

Amazing coffee and cake. I loved the industrial vibes of the space. The outdoor sitting space also nice.

Great food and am amazing atmosphere.

Great coffee, friendly staff and lovely place.

Very 1960's style venue. Had a pot of tea that dribbled when poured.

Excellent excellent excellent. Totally agree with all the other fantastic reviews of this place the coffee was fantastic, the fry was excellent multiple gluten free options available the smoothies were also excellent. Service was also friendly and very knowledgeable. And they allow dogs in and gave our puppy water and a treat (they asked if they could first). We will be back.

Exceptional coffee and outstanding food. Our family loves this place. Dog friendly too, and plays good music - has a generally fab vibe for spending a couple of hours. A real gem, and streets ahead of most of the local competition.

Always great friendly service . Lovely food and the best coffee 👍😊

Wonderful coffee. A really moist Moroccan orange cake. Interesting decor. Friendly staff. Will be back.

Popped in to somewhere I have enjoyed in the past but have felt has been a bit underwhelming the last few times I have been and was totally disappointed. The menu is very limited and for some things I felt expensive - a bacon roll should not cost more than £7. I ordered the soup which was presented nicely with what looked like focaccia bread. The bread was soggy and chewy not like any focaccia I have ever had before and the pumpkin soup was sour and I didn’t like the taste at all. I could not eat it. My friend could not find anything on the menu that really appealed so had sourdough toast. Staff took very little attention and did not clear away our dishes. Staff seemed to have little to do and one was busy on the phone with the door to outside open allowing what was a warm room to get very chilled I am sure it’s great coffee but will not be returning until someone tells me there had been significant change.

First, the road signage is almost non-existent. It took us 15 minutes, driving back and forth, asking three locals, to eventually find it. The entrance sign was tiny. So we arrived late and apologised. We were sat at a table separated from the main dining area and literally ignored for 20 minutes. It wasn’t busy. Eventually we were given menus. The menu could best be described as odd. We selected starters, mains and drinks. The waitress then returned saying one main wasn’t available that day and the only alcoholic drinks were house red, house white and house rose wines. Why didn’t she know this anyway? The starters were OK. The mains were acceptable even if the sourdough bread crust was impenetrable. We were told the wine was Rioja but Cabernet Sauvignon arrived which was passed off as “its house red” when challenged. We weren’t offered water although glasses were on the table. We decided to give dessert a miss. We asked for the bill and expressed our dissatisfaction as explained above. My friend went to the bar to pay the bill - In compensation they removed the starter cost which was probably acceptable. When asked why we had been ignored for so long he was told that they are just a cafe! We walked to the car - I use a walking stick as I have Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. When I got to the car I noticed the head waiter creeping behind a bin taking a photo of me getting in the car. He then came over and said if I drove away he would report drunken driving to the police! We challenged him and he implied he was obliged to do this. We dove the short distance to my friend’s house. Half an hour later a policeman arrived at the door and said he had to caution me and was obliged to breathalyse me as the driver. The policeman was very professional. I was well below the limit. Apparently anyone can report another if over consumption of alcohol is suspected which is sensible of course. Clearly we believe another motive was the cause of the head waiter’s report. And it nicely rounded off a lovely lunchtime experience.

such good value for money and really good quality ingredients. Freshly prepared so a short wait but so worth it. Complimented. y the fantastic coffee which you are able to buy freshly roasted and ground on the premises. Also able to buy a loaf of bread for a pound because we had eaten a meal, also delicious . We will definitely be back.

Brazier used to be a fantastic place for brunch/lunch but those times are over. It used to be buzzing but now there is just a disappointed hum. Cutting corners on food, putting curry in a falafel that bore no resemblance to the real thing, slabs of thick, cheap white supermarket bread, mashed avocado and baked beans in the breakfast. What? A certain disinterested attitude from the staff - all very happy as a team working together but seemingly not for the benefit of their customers. And something tells me they won’t be listening to feedback either. What a waste of a nice place.

Went there on a Saturday morning , was busy only one waitress . Ordered 2 “English breakfast “ came quite quickly but the food was poor sausages were very old or over cooked bacon very dry . Will not go back in a hurry

AVO - Delicious and so beautifully presented. Well cooked generous FRY included homemade beans. Great value.

Really disappointing experience, service was very poor, 2 girls working there were absolutely not interested in serving customers and they looked like they would rather be somewhere else. We went to the counter to order hot drinks and cakes ( cakes not labeled and when we asked what sort of cake are they girl started from " I think its ...."). We where lucky and we didn't have to wait long , people next to us were waiting 15 minutes before waitress came to take their order. Place was not busy at all , only 4 tables were occupied. Hot drinks and cake served without napkins or sugar , we had to go and ask for a sugar - waitress "kindly" gave us 3 little sachets of sugar. Cake was tasty but service is not acceptable and please fix a leaking roof. I don't recommend it, sorry.

We went for an early lunch. We were excited to see 2 bao buns on the menu. When they arrived, there was a lot of food on the plate and and it wasn't particularly well presented (fries piled high with pulled pork, flavourless nuts and copious amount of shop bought sauce. It was a good temperature but unfortunately I can only describe it as stodgy and tasteless. It was a nice place to sit and chat with a friend. A shame as I had heard good things about this place- perhaps it was just an off day?

Really lovely. Great service by friendly staff. Lots of choice and tasty breakfast in lovely surroundings. Will be back

Great place for something different and out of the box with great coffee. The menu is slim but manageable with greatly selected options to tease anyone to try. With an open mind, this place is one of the best around Wellington to go for breakfast, brunch or lunch. A creative menu with a great coffee selection, what more can you ask for! #garysyribe #localguides #foodblogger #travelblogger #letsguide #foodinnovation #wellington #chillout

This venue came recommended by a local, a little tricky to find but a lovey location albeit a little out of town. Not the best of greetings, perhaps forgivable if the place was busy, I’m afraid there was just a handful of customers… ordered a latte to-go as I had to be elsewhere, not a lot of ‘love’ in the process of being a barista which reflected in a coffee that resembled an instant coffee, sad to say the texture was thin and watery and the taste was mediocre. Maybe a bad day to visit, who knows? Sorry Brazier, the food out the kitchen looked fab too!

What can I say superb venue who went over and about for my wife's 50th bday celebration. Put on a wonderful roast dinner with all the extras plus a simply gorgeous sticky toffee pudding! Extremely welcoming and couldn't have done more for all of us. Wife loved it and it was a memorable day. Thank you so much Greg, Audrey and the rest of the team.

After wending our way round the corridors and alleys, we entered a big, airy room with a spiral staircase seemingly to nowhere. We had booked so no problem finding a table and we had our drinks order taken promptly.The menu is an all day brunch with a few extras and we chose the £12 meals - if I say fritters and a deconstructed kedgeree it doesn't do it justice. The flavours are bang on trend and delicious (the two don't always go together).We followed up with a slice of cake each - all the choices were gorgeous looking - my bakewell blondie was almondy and gooey.With a decaf coffee (not strong enough for my liking), my bill was £18 and well worth it. The relaxed but efficient vibe here is attractive and I'd like to come back in the summer and sit in the garden.Lucky Wellington!

We visited for lunch today, our first visit. I was pleased we had booked as they were so busy. Our waiter was very friendly and explained several items in the menu to us. We had to wait quite a while for the food to arrive but it was worth the wait. It was freshly prepared, full of flavour and delicious. We will definitely be back.

Delicious veg breakfast, great flavours and beautifully cooked. Great decaf coffee. Relaxed vibe and excellent service - oh and they roast coffee too. Thoroughly recommend.

5 star wonder - great wine and a delicious meal . Having enjoyed lunch and coffee here pre-Covid we decided to give Brazier ago on a Friday night in August. We weren’t disappointed - shared beef came perfectly cooked, tender, juicy full of flavour. Starters - grilled nectrine with mozerella - wow! Partner enjoyed gazpacho with prawn salad. Wines were tasty - deserts delicious. I hesitate to share as once everyone knows will we ever get a table here again?

I've been waiting until post lockdown to visit as I'd seen good things online. Walked in and greeted right away with a smile from helpful staff. The decor is really nice and in keeping with the building. The food smells good and tastes better. Beautiful cakes too. I really recommend this place it was such a treat and not expensive for the standard at all.

Lovely staff, great service. Immediately brought carafe of chilled water, dish of delicious olives and warm, fresh crusty bread to table, a big difference to our experience at the Pump House where none of this was provided. Food was superb, wine bottle brought in ice bucket, again, not so at the Pump House. Not a huge choice on menu but we all had something different and we were all thoroughly impressed with the quality and flavour of the meals. Overall a really lovely meal out, we shall definitely be going there again. Can thoroughly recommend

Oh boy, what a surprise. Riding a motorbike long distances even on a sunny day can be exhausting and we'd been looking for a place to stop for half an hour before we spotted the telltale sign of 'Coffee Roast'. It wasn't immediately obvious where the coffee house was and we nearly left thinking it must be an out of date sign. But happily, a chance conversation with some local ladies directed us through an alleyway to Coffee Heaven. If you like coffee you have to come here. This is not just a coffee shop....this is the whole works and they really know how to serve a truly excellent coffee. They roast and grind and will sell you beans, as well. We bought some Rwandan beans...but their own blend made quite superb coffee. This is clearly a great gathering point for those who know...and now, so do we.

Great industrial shabby-chic venue in old factory. Wonderful ambience, friendly and helpful service, delicious and creative food menu and great coffee

Once you find this place you'll be rewarded with the eclectic interiors and even more rewarding coffee. I can confidently say I had the best Flat White ever in the UK! Lovely homemade cakes with numerous GF options. Definitely worth seeking out

Great food , the atmosphere feels just right and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend going there 100%.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!Without doubt this is the best food in Wellington. Super friendly staff, great setting, always clean...basically, it's perfect.If there is better food in a 10 mile radius, I have not found it...sorry to my wife's cooking, but I think she'd agree.Caters for meat eaters like myself but also vegetarians like my wife. Probably vegan friendly, but I've not looked for that.Cannot recommend highly enough.Oh and the coffee is so fresh it's insane!

And it was epic. We started ordering coffee from these guys at the start of lockdown and kept ordering as it's so good! Began following them on insta and have been desperate to go and try their food throughout lockdown as we love their Aussie inspired menu. It really didn't disappoint. My husband ordered the breakfast burger, I had the homemade beans on toast and it was one of the most delicious brunches I've ever had. I can't stop thinking about it! Service was great despite them being extremely busy and their first Saturday back post lockdown. A must visit!!

I love this coffee shop, great unusual food Good for discovering new ingredients and different dishes Only negative is that the service is a little slow, otherwise I would have given it five stars

Makes excellent use of part of an old industrial building (woollen Mill) and is decorated in a simple but stylish fashion. Renowned for excellent coffee but the food is also good. Pop in every now and then for a coffee and avocado toast...lovely. Welcoming and good service as well.

If you actually manage to find Brazier, you will definitely not be disappointed. Hidden in the bowels of Tonedale Mill, it’s an unexpected treasure. The menu is varied and fresh. I had the truffled mushrooms on brioche with a soft panko crumbed poached egg. It was sublime! Thoroughly recommended!

Been here a couple of times and tbf they do some really good cafe food. The baked beans are amazing and poached eggs on sour dough were perfect. Only criticism would be cut toast a bit thicker and not cooked so much

Dined in the Brazier Cafe last night for Date Night and had the most incredible food and couldnt believe how reasonable it was for our money! Thank you Ed & The Team for looking after us! Dev & Lucy
