Butterflies Coffee Shop in North Somerset

I left a positive review about this establishment a year ago but we returned again yesterday (7 October 24) and we were certainly not disappointed. Two lovely, well filled toasties (ham & cheese and tuna, onion & cheese) which were hot and tasty and came with salad. Delicious cakes (chocolate and millionaires shortbread) for afters. Good menu with further selection on “Specials” board. Staff welcoming and very friendly. Facilities clean. Well worth the 2nd visit!

Popped in for coffee and a sandwich. No sandwiches or baguettes despite being advertised in the window. They “can’t do a latte with only one shot” which is ridiculous. A two shot latte arrived all spilled into the saucer. Small coffee cup v poor value for money. Would not recommend not return.

Very disappointed.Just had a latte at £3.50.Small white generic mug filled with hot milk basically.Took ages to come as well.Should have complained but felt sorry for the young staff .Much better options in Clevedon for a decent coffee for sure.Will not be returning

Had a panini and ginger beer for lunch. Panini fine, but pricey at £9.50 with just a small side salad. Was very unhappy to to charged £3.50 for less than half a pint of ginger beer that came from a 2 litre bottle which had obviously not just been opened. I went to an upmarket garden centre two days later and had a Luscombe ginger beer for £2.75.

Met up with friends for lunch today. From the moment we arrived, we received a beaming smile and lovely, welcoming service. Coffee was good, and our lunches were excellent, lasagne and salad, fishcakes, and a Stilton and pear salad. Nice, friendly atmosphere. And dog friendly. We found the part-time Saturday staff to be a real credit to the owner. Would recommend and will definitely return.

We popped in for a light lunch on a Friday just before 1pm. 2 out of 3 of the party were after a soft drink, which were both advertised on the board behind the till. Unfortunately, these were both out of stock. One of us ordered a cup of tea and we were shocked to note the price, which was the same as a cup of coffee. No extra hot water was provided until asked and so a very small pot of tea is provided for the price to begin with. During our visit, the tea cup was accidently knocked, resulting in a spillage. The gentleman helped us to it clear up, however we were not offered a new tea cup or saucer and so had to use a saucer full of tea, until the lady noted and gave us paper towels to soak up the split tea on the saucer. We all wanted to order a panini for lunch, but were told these were all sold out by 1pm (on a busy Friday lunchtime). We all opted for toasted sandwiches instead, however we had to wait around 20-25 minutes for 3x toasted sandwiches and unfortunately they were very basic. The bread was just about toasted, the tomato chucks were far to big for the small sandwich, which meant some bread was soggy and the onion slices were huge and unedable as a result. The tuna was also not mixed with any mayo, so with cheese, it was rather dry. The side salad was very basic with no salad dressing and they all came out looking different on the 3x plates. For the price of £9 each, they didn't even come with crisps. We understand the price of everything has increased dramatically and wouldn't mind paying £9, if what was provided was of good quality and on par with what is served elsewhere. At the end of our lunch, we were not asked if everything was OK and I wonder if that was because the waiting staff knew it wasn't?

Visited Hill Road shops and saw this lovely coffee shop. Ordered an Americana and one shot Latte plus a piece of coffee cake and piece of lemon cake. We sat outside next to what I can only describe as a mouthy nagging old woman and her hen pecked husband. They went inside and ordered after us. As soon as the waitress came out with a tray of food, “mouthy madam” said it’s our order. She then tasted the coffee and decided it wasn’t hers (she had to have decaf) nor the coffee cake which she hadn’t ordered. What turned out, it was actually our order. She complained to the waitress who realised it was our coffee and duly brought the Latte over to me. I refused to accept and asked for a fresh cup. Once we had our correct order, our coffees were hot and tasty and both cakes were delicious (both cakes were moist and tasted of coffee and lemon). To be fair to the cafe, the lady serving inside was under duress as a member of staff had rung in sick and she did apologise in advance for any delay in us getting our order. The extra delay was down to “mouthy madam” confusing the waitress and our order ending up on the wrong table to begin with.

We went into the cafe for lunch today, was immediately impressed by the decor and the hospitable greetings. A member of staff were helpful in finding a highchair for our little one. After checking the menu and chalkboard specials we decided on a Chicken/Mango/Mushroom curry and a bacon, brie and cranberry panini but unfortunately the curry was sold out but not removed from the board. I ended up settling for bacon and grilled tomato on sourdough which is precisely what I got. The bacon, brie and cranberry panini that the wife had was pleasant even if a little too much cranberry in it, for the sourdough I don't know where to begin, the toast was toasted well, there was too much butter on the toast leaving it with the effect of a greasy pool on the toast, you had a rasher of bacon which barely covered two thirds of the toast and half a grilled tomato slapped on top (if they had sliced it then it would of been more presentable and easier to eat). The side salad was rather random, you had the normal items like lettuce leaf, cherry tomato, peppers and red onion and then a slice of melon added on (worked for us as our one year old took delight in eating it). To add to it all we had to pay over £25 for these two meals, a small latte that was over flowing the cup to make a pool in the saucer and a crusha mildhake

This place is a real find! Excellent lunch, freshly prepared and a friendly and welcoming staff team. We definitely be recommending to freinds and family and visiting next time we're in Clevedon

We loved the pretty decor, the service was good mid morning, cake and lattes delicious. But two BIG gripes: - very small tea cups for lattes were not good value at all as charged as much as at the best coffee chains for a good sized mug - we sat inside by the window and the extremely loud noise from the constant bashing into the knocking box was deafening. Proper straight sided mugs and a rubber knock box would have given us a great visit.

Whilst the staff were pleasant and friendly, the service was, as other reviewers have said, slow and despite the review in December 2022 the toilets still need a makeover. Dirty skirting boards and an old child’s changing mat do not encourage customers to return. We felt the food was pricey too and there were spelling errors on the menu boards - it should read ‘potatoes’ and ‘avocado’.

The food we ordered ranged from poor to inedible. The soup stole the experience and instead of being potato and leek it tasted like cornflower mixed something indescribable, not only that it was £7.50. We ordered two, the cost of one was refunded when we complained. For the avoidance of doubt no soup was eaten. The rest of the food we ordered was either swimming in grease, for example the halved sausage covered in overdone red onion, or it was just unpleasant. The ham and cheese toastie was impressively poor, badly presented and dreadful to taste. You have to go some way to make a cheese and ham toastie this bad! I am very pleased other people have, judging by the reviews, had a better experience. However my advice would be to avoid going here. I certainly will not return, £43.00 spent on a light lunch that none of us could eat. It wasn’t until I left that I fully understood the sign at the till. This in essence asked for prepayment due to difficulties in collecting payment after the food was served. I certainly wouldn’t have paid after experiencing the quality of the food that I did.

Staff are friendly, but service was at the speed of a snail on Valium. The food was frankly abysmal. Other half had smashed avocado on toast which came with a few lettuce leaves and some grilled tomatoes, which he said was OK but didn’t taste of anything. I’d asked for poached egg and caramelised onion (minus the original sausage proposed in the menu): what I got was two pieces of over-toasted bread with a poached egg on each, slapped unappetisingly onto a plate. A 5-year old could have managed a better looking presentation. We also had two coffees, and the total came to just over £20. Maybe I’m out of touch but that doesn’t seem good value to me.

Only went in for a pot of tea, coffee and a couple of cakes. When we got the drinks I had to ask twice for the milk. Then eventually the cake’s arrived, nice and tasty I must be honest. The only thing I must say is the slowness of service and it’s not as if they didn’t have the staff lot’s of staff there, although they were quite young.

Dog friendly cafe, which I’m mentioning early into review as we had trouble finding anywhere in the area that was dog friendly. Anyway this is a very cute little cafe/bistro and was very busy when we arrived on a wet Saturday. We ordered coffee/shortbread & coffee cake. All very nice & staff were friendly as well as being professional. Toilet facilities could do with a bit of a makeover. Was also a bit sad to see a young staff member eating her lunch from a sandwich box. It might well hv been her choice, if not surly the owners could provide a sandwich?

Staff were friendly, attentive and prompt, but the coffee was weak and the items of food we ordered were such that we will not be returning. We hate giving feedback that is negative, but this was a very disappointing £19 pit-stop!

Looked for a small café for a light bite. Initial order was taken fairly promptly but the food took nearly 40 mins to come out; an excessively long time for two bacon and Brie toasties, 1 jacket potato and 1 salad. When it arrived the toastie was minus the melon mentioned on the menu, yes odd anyway, but sounded interesting. The bacon was hard and leather-like. The pear and walnut salad was tasty but very watery at the end making it less enjoyable. The jacket potato was supposed to be peppers and goats cheese. However, it was evidentally over done with the spud burnt and the cheese melted either side that had solidified and thus was inedible (you shouldn't be able to hear a knock on goats cheese when you tap it!) Service, whilst polite, was pretty loose and inattentive with a member of our group having to check how much longer we should have to wait. It wasn't worth it, the chef actually bringing it out themselves instead of a staff member. Decor was weird too, bits of it being an attempted upgrade yet other bits like the ceiling looking like they belong to an 80's office. Overall, pretty poor. A shame as it had potential.

Pretty cafe wiyh very nice cakes and a menu that looked nice but the coffee was weak and the oce cream was really soft and completely runny by the time ot was finished so a bit disappointing.

A lovely little cafe serving delicious looking cakes with a tempting menu. We just had hot drinks this time, but will return for lunch or afternoon tea sometime soon. Coffee too weak and milky for our taste, hence the four star rating.

Popped in to have a light lunch. A small cafe serving brunch. The waitress who served us was very prompt in bringing our pot of tea. However our food order (a panini) took 35 minutes to arrive and the avocado on toast 40 minutes. A couple who came in after us were served before us as they had apparently reserved and "ordered in advance". Customers should be served in order of arrival. I cannot see how the average number of customers in the coffee shop could warrant such a ridiculously slow food service given the simplicity of the food served. Having said that the food was perfectly nice.

Lovely Cafe situated in Hill Road a short walk to the sea always very welcoming and friendly all food cooked by the owner with the freshest ingredients a good selection of home made cakes on display the menu being on the wall behind the counter...

It is a very laid back cafe, pleasant welcome , we ordered 2 coffees and a piece of excellent cake, no hurry at all. Everything excellent from a food & drink point of view. Nobody hurried ., everything is a bit too lackadaisical..

Wonderful little coffee shop on Hill Road Beautiful cakes and pastries and also specialises in an asian style menu plus all the usual toasties etc.Dont pass by call in for a wonderful service and warm welcome.

This is a beautiful cafe which I have visited many times . My friend and I visited today and was thrilled to see it was open . However I was shocked at having to pay nearly £22.00 for a sandwich and a jacket potato and...

Really interesting and delicious menu, wholesome ingredients and a very friendly service. Rick Stein inspired recipes and Thai curries. The Cafe has been a great source of enjoyment for many local friends and families during lockdown. Thank you!

Portions were small. Small pieces of meat in the lamb stew. No heat in the Thai curry. Coffee was weak. No offer of extra hot water for tea. Staff seemed confused with orders.

Came across this cafe when out walking. Great choice of food, all freshly cooked. Coffee and cake excellent. Will definitely visit on our next visit to Clevedon. Very Covid compliant

I went to visit my mum and we had the most delicious Maylay/Thai food. All freshly prepared and delicious. The owner Mafe even drove all the way to Taunton to get banana leaves to cook the fish in! Highly recommended if you fancy something authentic...

We stopped by chance on a rainy day. Very friendly welcome and staff doing well in these challenging times. It was obvious that staff were working to Covid-19 guidelines.For us it was just latte and cakes both of which were excellent. We enjoyed our visit....

We stumbled upon this cafe on a recent visit to Clevedon. Wanting to get get away from the eateries along the waters edge we walked back into the town. The staff at the cafe were very accommodating. We arrived during a busy lunchtime and they went out of their way to seat us and our small dog at a table near the window. The menu is a varied mix of lunchtime sandwiches/panini's and incredible Thai dishes. We had a mixture of both; the Malaysian curry was outstanding and cooked to order. The cafe was also taking part in the eat out to help out scheme, making the whole meal an incredible bargain. Highly recommended.

I’ve just had the most amazing Chicken Panang, coconut and ginger rice, and the most amazing banana fritter. The ladies serving were so attentive and kind. The owner told me that she makes her own sauces, mixing the spices together. What a talent! The sauce was the best I’ve ever had. This is such a fantastic little cafe with an great specials selection.

On a visit to Clevedon this coffee shop is a pleasant retreat, for coffee and eats. Good and polite service we will return.

Popped down to North Somerset to attend a family celebration; and keen to keep up my Parkrun attendance I choose Clevedon for my Saturday run: after a good run along the promenade we headed for Hill Rd, to find this gem of an establishment; great food - their bubble & squeak with poached eggs where presented well, cooked to perfection and tasted great, graced with tea in a pot with elephants! Even gluten free toast was a breeze. Would heartily recommend a visit!

Stopped in for tea and tea cakes today after we couldn't get into any of the cafes on the front. Very welcoming and cosy with nice decorative theming. Warming drinks and food and well priced, will be back.

We popped in here for an afternoon drink and cake on a bleak December Saturday. They had had an unusually busy day for a December Saturday so some things had sold out - the mince pies for one- but we managed to find alternatives. It said that it closed at 4 so we thought that we would be asked to leave - but people were still coming in so we felt comfortable staying longer especially as we had a baby who needed feeding so we couldn’t rush out. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

I found Butterflies accidentally and am very pleased I did! What a quaint little coffee shop with pretty decoration, a nice atmosphere and very pleasant staff.

great experience and lovely breakfast - the omelette that I had was delicious. Great hostess and waiting staff.

Lovely cafe for breakfast or lunch. Food freshly prepared, home made cakes food allergies catered for. Friendly staff with good service

We visited on Tuesday and it was clearly a very busy time. We were waited on by a young lady called Sian, who is an asset to the cafe! She is always smiling and works to try and pass that smile on! Our delicious food was delivered by another lady who was also very nice and smiley! We will definitely return!

After going to the counter to order I was told that someone would come to the table ,we waited 15 mins and in this time staff (4) were chatting around the counter, one member went to a table at the side of us and started stroking a dog , then returned to the counter without washing her hands. Tables were not cleared and we decided to leave finding a lovely place further down the road.

Really lovely cafe where the staff are friendly and the food good. We didn't eat, other than a coconut and chocolates flapjack - really nice but the food being taken to other tables looked delicious and big portions.

I visited Wednesday morning and was greeted with a lovely smile and "Hello" from the young waitress behind the counter, I later learnt her name is Sian. We got table service and nothing was ever too much to ask. She was very welcoming and attentive! We had two coffees and two slices of cake, which were delicious! DEFIANTLY REVISIT!!

We stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. As well as the more traditional breakfast fare, there were many other interesting options, particularly on the lunch menu. Dad loved the eggs benedict, hubby tucked into a hearty beans on toast but I delighted in the strawberry, avocado and halloumi salad. It was to die for, crisp fresh varied salad piled high with fresh avocado, juicy strawberries and two generous slices of grilled halloumi. Absoultely delicious. I had been struggling to decide between this one and the grilled pear walnut and goats cheese (next time for sure). There was also freshly baked quiche on offer as we arrived and really it was such a pity we tried this place on our last day as I could quite happily have worked my way through the menu. The lady that served us was lovely and friendly and god bless the chef as the kitchen must have been roasting last week and she was still baking away with a laugh and a smile. This really is a little gem of a place!

Arrived late Saturday afternoon to be told that the hot food service had finished.

Popped in for a drink and cake, friendly service, good cuppa for hubby with fruit scone, I had iced latte which was gorgeous, made using home made vanilla milk apparently, and slice of carrot cake which was moist and delicious, loved the new decor too, quirky

I visited the Butterflies coffee shop on Hill Rd in Clevedon today and it was amazing the food was excellent and a huge choice the atmosphere was truly wonderful and welcoming the staff were so friendly and really did their best to make you feel welcome the manageress even went out of her way to go to the shop to buy clotted cream as we ordered scones with cream ! will visit there again soon !!

Seldom moved to write bad reviews but a trip to Butterflies felt like a trip back in time when mediocre food and poor service were the norm in UK seaside towns.

If you don’t mind waiting 40 minutes for a baguette this is the place for you.

We cannot understand the one star review this is one of two places we chose to have lunch at in Clevedon and always find the food well-prepared and the staff very pleasant and helpful, all testified to by the normally full cafe

Went in for lunch. Nothing arrived at the same time. Waited a long time. Grumpy staff and slow service. Food lacking, everything was clearly just stuck in the microwave, unwashed salad. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Would not recommend

A really homely tearoom / coffee shop. Great menu although we only popped in for a cuppa.

Old Mrs Tiger had been at the wool shop just up the road from Butterflies while I waited in the car. When she came out she said 'where can we get a nice cup of tea?' 'Well' said I, 'there is a nice looking place just where I've parked the car'. In we went to Butterflies who were just closing but the nice proprietress said 'You look cold! We can stay open for you!'

Returned after some months away and found the coffee shop had been totally refurbed but food and service as good as ever. Strongly recommended.

we did in fact return lsast week this time for tea and cake and everything was good with vewry caring staff. We will be back agian.

We've eaten here a few times over many years, but this will be our last visit,

We had lunch here for the second time on a visit to Clevedon and all was very pleasant - a good helping of home-made sweet potato soup with excellent crusty brown bread and garnished brie and cranberry panini, both served with cranberry juice made for a pleasantg lunch-time snack

A stopover for a snack ... we sat down in a empty cafe and ordered a sausage sandwich and a bacon sandwich.. when it finally arrived I was surprised at how thin the bread was and only two sausages on it. The bacon sandwich was of similar quality. When I saw the extortionate price when I ordered I was really expecting something special ... so basically the food was disappointing. The general cleanliness was poor the stairs handrails you definitely would not touch, the fly killer and fan were covered in dirt .. there are better places at much more competitive prices/ quality / hygiene

my family & i visited this eating place, as the sign outside stated gluten free, which I am also dairy free, the menu for lunch looked interesting, but unfortunately most of the items availablle were sold out, so opted for vegetarian breakfast ommitting what i could not eat, also no vegetarian sausages available, was dished up greasy plate of food the most disgusting sausage ever (cheap & full of rusk), charged the full price as well, also my grandchildren asked for scrambled egg & beans, told no option to split would have to pay for two lots twice, so did the logical thing ourselves & split it when it arrived, the lady cooking seemed very flustered yet there were four other staff not looking very organised, comment if your are seriously gluten free do not eat here as same tongs used for cakes!!!

Came across this by accident when trying to find somewhere for lunch on a day out!. A lovely "small" tea room come cafe. Exceptionally polite and helpful server, meals were delicious. No complaints at all, indeed will visit again when I am in the area.

Only a few minutes from the sea-front and sited amongst Clevedon's 'posher' shops, the Butterfly is a great place for tea, coffee and yummy snacks and cakes.

Lovely friendly cafe. Delicious cake and coffee - not the quickest service but then it’s a relaxed vibe and there is clearly a real pride in making sure the meals are cooked freshly to order. Lots of delicious gluten free cakes. Breastfeeding friendly.

Dropped in for a breakfast and I must be honest it was not the best experience. I chose the Large breakfast at £8.50. A bit pricey as when I came to settle my bill, found that it didn’t include the tea and the bill was £10. The food mostly appeared re-fried and not the quality ingredients I would have expected at that price. The cafe was really cold and the waitress told me there was no heating in the room she did add that in the summer it was hot (choose wisely which season you visit) the waitress did say she would get a heater, unfortunately this did not appear during the hour I was there. Myself and other visitors sat in their coats for the whole period. The waitress was very pleasant and extremely courteous throughout. People around me chose the soup of the day and appeared to be enjoying it and the menu had lots of tasty sounding dishes. If I were to come again I would certainly not choose the expensive breakfast. I love independent cafes and restaurants but they really have to step up to the mark especially when an Italian restaurant just up the road was offering any pizza or pasta for £8.95 And Clevedon has many cafes. It doesn’t take much to be amongst the best, just enthusiasm and a real love for food. Sadly I felt this was missing at this establishment.

Peaceful, civilised ambience, friendly welcomes and very good service got things off to a good start. We were looking for something for a late, light lunch, and very much enjoyed lek and potato soup and a toasted teacake with jam. Didn't have any tea but there appeared to be a vast selection of 'real' teas on offer. A very pleasant place to take a break.

Called in for a drink and cake while I was shopping in Hill Road. Had an Americano and a piece of Victoria sponge. Very enjoyable. Quiet cafe but good choice of food and pleasant atmosphere.

Quite a nice little coffee shop. Food quite pleasant I had a toasted cheese and pickle husband had a cheese baguette. I ordered a pot of Assam tea but tasted more like jasmine. The kitchen is within the restaurant so alas the whole place has the cooking smells of meals been cooked.

Butterflies is a smallish restaurant, probably 40 covers which provides brilliantly cooked, presented and served food. I use it primarily for breakfasts (when allowed!) but they have now started providing authentic Asian dishes on Wednesday lunch times. Exceptional choices, not only the usual Indian themed meals but Malay, Singaporean and Indonesian. Great taste and very reasonable two course meal for under a tenner.

This is a super cafe with a great choice of meals to meet all dietary tastes and needs. If you’re looking for something a bit different for lunch and really tasty this is the coffee shop for you.

We found this place on the internet and thought we would give it a go. We wanted an afternoon tea. What a meal! Little toasties, open sandwiches, cakes and scones with jam and cream. Proper leaf tea and the coffee was lovely. The staff were cheerful and pleasant. We left absolutely full to bursting and even had a little bag of leftovers for supper. Thank you very much Butterfly. Just what we wanted.

Whilst sitting in the sunshine at an outside table with our fresh tea and coffee we vowed to visit again.

My family and I visited in August and requested very different things from a leek and stilton tartlet to a cheese sandwich. Nothing was a problem and all the food was both delicious and beautifully displayed on the plate. It disappeared very quickly!

Esto es lo Hill Road necesidades, un cómodo lugar para tomar el desayuno y un almuerzo ligero, todo recién cocinado a la orden, de ahí el esperar si su atareada,

Vi una mesa fuera gratis en este día soleado, así que cayó por ver lo que se ofrecía. De Oro con un té de la tarde con enorme deliciosa crema de frutas crema cuajada y bollos deliciosa mermelada de frambuesa. Una cafetería muy amable con un personal amable que te hace sentir bienvenido. Sin duda, volveremos para otro ayudando en el futuro.

We stayed in Clevedon in March whilst house hunting Saturday/Sunday morning family breakfast is a tradition for us. Our daughter recently moved to Clevedon, so we've decided to buy there as well. I was hopeful that the Butterfly Coffee Shop would become our new regular weekend breakfast place It's most likely not going to happen There were 3 young waitstaff: 2 young ladies and a young man, each late teens early 20's without a clue how to wait tables, organise drinks, take orders, or manage basic restaurant tasks 2 tables became so frustrated after waiting nearly an hour for tea and toast that they left. The 3rd table waited, but were extremely frustrated. No one had set duties, wrong orders were placed, food took forever to arrive, at 11:40 we were told breakfast was no longer available (our son in law joined us late after working nights) silverware was repeatedly forgotten. The male waiter wrote down "coffee with milk" exactly like this, he could not remember 1 large coffee 2 large cappuccinos, he had to long write it out. Then walked 10 feet behind the counter, and asked again what we ordered. No one cleaned tables, yet stood around looking unsure what to do It is unfortunate, because it's a lovely little coffee shop, with delicious menu options. Just disastrously managed and operated. Hopefully they either offer extreme training or hire new staff. 3 waiters should've easily handled 7 tables without stress or confusion Would try again, but only as last hunger resort

Nice place to meet up with friends, with very helpful staff. Good choices for gluten free, and cakes very nice

Popped in hoping for a quick bite to eat. No overly busy, but food coming out was a bit slow, but got the feeling the food was individually prepared. If you don't mind the quirkiness of the place then give it a try. The food was nice as were staff and the coffee.As we left the place started to fill, so this must be a sign of a well established eatery.

I visited on Saturday with a friend who is dairy-free by necessity. Having been there once before I knew it would be a good shout. I particularly like loose leaf tea, and try to find cafes which have this, but am also aware of gluten & dairy issues faced by friends.We were not disappointed. I had a Darjeeling, whilst Kate had a Green tea. I indulged with a bacon bap & a dark chocolate florentine, and Kate had a Vegan dark chocolate & coconut flapjack. There were at least 3 Vegan cakes to choose from & some wonderful sounding Vegan main courses on the blackboard. Well worth a visit.

You will get great homemade food and real (tea leaf) tea in this busy, friendly café. At busy times the order may take a while but it is worth it as it is all freshly prepared.Reasonably priced too.

A pleasant little café/coffee shop in the popular Hill Road area, we just popped in for a coffee and a cake, but the breakfast menu looked very tempting as did some of the more substantial lunch portions being dished up on the table next to us.The cakes were attractively displayed on the counter, and there were a number of sponges as well as flap jacks, caramel shortbread and so on. It was a shame that the Victoria Sponge had run out, so instead I opted for the Coffee & Walnut cake, and this was really very good indeed. A lovely soft and crumbly sponge, with a generous layer of coffee icing that had just the right amount of coffee flavour and sweetness. A latte too was pretty good, and unusually came with the choice of either one or two shots.All in all, a great little place and I will no doubt be back to check out some of the more substantial meals on offer.

Cafe opened later than advertised on the door, once inside it smelt of yesterdays fried food and member of staff was moaning about having to get up, clean the place and open up

Went in for a quick breakfast before getting on a route to Cornwall and ended up waiting for my food for a long time. If owner struggling with finding staff why never present at the cafe to keep things under control? Also working myself in the cafe, I don't think it's acceptable to make a customer wait for drinks that long. And cheese sandwich for a 5£?! Are you for real? Breakfast itself was ok, but served on smallest plate ever, so kept dropping my toast on the table. Please get bigger plates.

What a lovely find :-) I was in Clevedon on a day trip with my daughter and granddaughter on a very sunny Monday and after the morning on the beach and playing in the new splash pool we wandered the independent shops and we're getting rather hot! We walked passed Butterflies and my eye was caught on their gluten free sign. We went into investigate and saw they had a gluten and dairy free cake (for me) and ice creams for my daughter and granddaughter where we could sit in the cool and rest our weary hot bodies! Amazing to have on offer a gluten and dairy free cake and it was delicious, and such a treat as usually I have to have just a gluten free cake and put up with the effects of eating dairy :-( Lovely staff, lovely decor and a lovely tea room. We will be back for more!

Stopped by for lunch in this quirky little cafe. Good home cooked food and imaginative menu including gluten free and vegetarian. Lovely cakes and very reasonably priced all served by smiling friendly waitress. Win win all round

It's really hard to find places to eat when you have coeliacs disease and I have had some unfortunate side effects from some places so when I found this coffee shop I was really please to see such an extensive gluten free menu.The gluten free meals ranged from salads to cooked meals meat based and vegetarian all at reasonable prices. I can recommend the homemade scotch egg. The owner told me the meat comes from a local butcher who sources locally. They serve loose leaf tea in large pots. The restuarant is homely and welcoming with very friendly and smiley staff. I will definitely return to this coffee shop to sample more of their delicious menu.

Lovely relaxed place to have lunch.It's nice to not be rushed, sit down, your order is taken, you're drinks and given to you whilst lunch if made.Lovely relaxed atmosphere. They also cater for my dietary requirements, but remember to ask when ordering.

We have visited this venue a number of times for afternoon tea and have always found it to be excellent value and a very nice place to relax for a few nminutes. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food and drinks are very good value for money . Highly recommended to the hungry shopper or tourist

The slow service in this place lets it down. Good choice of food and drinks but service painfully slow. Took 20 mins to have order taken and then a further 20 mins to be told they'd ran out of what we ordered. It wasn't like they didn't have enough staff, but they just weren't focused on service. Been here 3 times and doesn't appear to be a one off.

I went here on a whim as I was looking for somewhere to have a cream tea. At first I wasn't convinced since the sign said cream teas £4. Surely this couldn't be right? Well it was. The scones were clearly homemade with clotted cream and jam. Tea was delicious - overall well worth a visit. Shame, I don't live closer! :-)

A lovely friendly café with the added bonus of lovely home made food. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel really welcome.

I went here for a full English breakfast. It was very good, and the atmosphere is pleasant. You had to pay extra for a cup of tea. Helpful staff

This is a delightful shop and a must for anyone visiting Clevedon. Everything about it seems to have been done with attention to detail (look at the light fittings!), the food was excellent and the staff very attentive. The atmosphere was friendly but not intrusive. Anyone wanting to work in retail should spend some time (and money!) in here to see how it should be done. We had coffee and toasted sandwiches and should have had cake as they looked great. Highly recommended

Two of us popped in at 9.30.am for breakfast before shopping. We enjoyed tea and bacon sandwiches which, were delicious. The sandwiches were made to order the ingredients were fresh and generous.Pleased to see they are refurbishing the toilets which l felt let the place down on previous visits.

Often pop into Butterflies for tea and a cake when browsing along Hill Road. Staff always friendly attentive and friendly. Choice of cakes excellent. It is lovely to have a proper tea shop still doing what a tea shop should be doing - nice cakes and scones and a lovely pot do tea.

been here a few times - breakfast, lunch & just a coffeeAlways lovely food, although a bit expensive

Lovely cafe with a great selection of food, cakes and drinks. Lots of gluten free options too! The toilets although clean, are cold and cramped. This was the only thing I could fault.
