Cafe Nostra in Mendip

Best place in Wells for coffee, ice creams, sorbets, limoncello over lemon sorbet and espresso over vanilla ice cream. Lovely lunches and great menu. Staff fabulous. So great that my son booked them for his wedding. It was so good we went twice in one day!!

Lovely salads and excellent icecream

Great find! A little Italian café and deli 🙌 in the heart of Wells. In- and outside seating. It stocks all sorts of store cupboard Italian goods. Only shame is that it doesn't offer any pasta or Italian-inspired lunches, very much omelette/baked potato/classic English dishes kind of place except for maybe toasted panini/ciabatta with various fillings. That said, my mushroom omelette and double expresso were excellent 👌

Great Cafe, just off the High street in Wells. Fantastic KO range of homemade cakes and Italian cuisine!!!! The Best Coffee in Wells in my opinion!! Excellent range of home made Italian ice creams, if it's on try the liquorice flavour yum yum !!! 10/10 Called in today for ice cream and a coffee. It just gets better 😀!!!! Lovely atmosphere.

Great little family run Italian cafe, love their homemade ice cream

Excellent Italian people and great food, best coffee in town and great service.

Lovely little cafe, such friendly people! Excellent coffee and cakes looked delicious!! I'll go back

Fabulous cafe. Great food, lovely friendly staff

Came in this morning (4/5/24) for breakfast. Small family run restaurant. Food was fresh, hot and delicious, staff were courteous and friendly and the coffee was excellent. It seemed to be a favourite place for locals as there seemed to be a constant flow of regulars which gave it a nice feel. The gelato and cakes looked excellent but we were stuffed from the full English!!

Great cafe, lovely coffee friendly staff.

Good, freshly cooked pasta followed by a lovely and light spiced apple caked and vanilla ice-cream. Good, honest food - freshly and nicely cooked. Prompt friendly service. A very welcoming cafe. Good value for money.

Perfect cake and coffee best start to any day

Called in for some Italian ice cream, lovely, recommended

A fantastic family run place to eat.

Owner lovely. Young waitress very nice. Had lunch yesterday. And breakfast today all very good. Thank you boss man x

Beautiful breakfast, definitely worth a visit

Excellent little cafe in Wells.

Nice place friendly staff and coffee ☕ was good

It's a brilliant cafe, nothing else comes close in Wells, lovely staff, great food choice, it has that unique community cafe feel, all welcome. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!!

Great little Italian cafe tucked in at the far end of Wells High Street. Super service and the food was delicious washed down with an iced coffee.

Just bought the best tasting coffee ever, with a slice of Victoria sponge served with the biggest smile, made my morning

A great experience, the food is fresh and service is great.

Very friendly, good reasonable food, cakes are devine and gellato, and coffee

A really nice simple practical Italian family cafe, complete with homemade items including an array of homemade gelato.

Un postincino carino dove tra le altre, c'e il gelatto piu bono di Wells. A volte mi trovo che al banco c'e personale che non sa che deve fare ma fortunatamente gli padronii del locale sono gentilissimi e sempre d' aiuto. In bocca al lupo!!

Delicious coffee and excellent service.

excellent food & service, what more could you ask for

This is the best place ever!! I had pesto pasta and it was amazing. The prices are very affordable and the food quality deserves ten stars. We were greeted with smiling faces and lovely customer service. Will definitely be coming back again soon. :)

Good service and good food. Not too expensive.

My Wife and I went here today whilst visiting Wells as the other cafés seemed full up by the cathedral and we wanted to go to a quieter part of town. We were served by a sweet and pleasant girl who provided excellent service with a smile. The food was tasty and nicely done (the Italian way), the drinks selection was great (my wife had a Chinò flavour Sanpellegrino which we've not seen before, a bitter orange taste) and all was reasonably priced. We also took home a brownie and a banana choc chip cake which were very tasty (I'm a big fan of banana cake). Overall, we'd happily come here again if we find ourselves in Wells on another occasion.

such friendly people, and the food is sooo good.

Beutifull place enjoyed the atmosphere great service 👍

2nd visit here, will go again! Very good!

Interesting desserts. Unusual and tasty.

Lovely place.the food was authentic atmosphere great, service excellent.. The best Italian in Wells looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely little gem this one, simple but pure lush

Freshly made , home made Ice cream, can't beat the flavour, food good portion sizes, good taste and friendly service

Great welcoming atmosphere, Lovely ice cream and the young lady made the best dry cappuccino I've had in a while. Delightful experience and would definitely come back.

Very lovely service, coffee was delicious and lemon polenta cake was great! I will come back to try the home made gelato next time!

What a lovely place to eat and drink. The staff are wonderful.

I have been coming to this café for years, and I have to say I absolutely love it. If you want genuine authentic delicious Italian home made food this is the place to come and be seen in Wells. I no longer live in the area, but plan our visits to visit family around coming into this café. My words can only convey how amazing this place truly is, come and experience it for yourself. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Amazing quiche, great service and good prices. Even let me charge my phone when I ran out of battery. Thank you!

Great place, portion sizes brilliant unfortunately didn't then have room for their lovely cakes on display. Friendly staff go tuck in & experience yourselves you won't be disappointed

What can I say??? We have been coming to Well's for a while, and wanted a decent Italian cafe/eaterie, and found this one! What a find, and it sell's authentic Italian food & drink, too!!! We love Italian food, and eat it regularly at home. When we first went in, we were greeted by the wonderful Angelina, and found they allow dogs, too, which was another plus point! It was an amazing experience to see, so much great food, as well as standard food for normal people, too. I have a big appetite, so had some Italian soft drinks, an omelette , tiramisu, and several pieces of cake, and home-made ice-cream, too! I bought some Italian products to take away, but on our latest visit, she had bought a load more product! I bought over £83.00 of it, to last me a little while(LOL!). This is our first place to come when we come to Well's, as well as "The Grape & The Good", across the road!!!

Food different to what you find else where. Able to select what you want on your panini. Coffee very good. Delicious ice cream. A large range of Italian products to purchase. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Yum yum grazie Io speranza ho più tempo tempo prossima

The best scampi and chips ever. Service superb. Staff are very friendly.

We found this lovely café as we were walking along the street looking for a cold drink. Outside tables in the sunshine, we could have been on holiday in Italy! Excellent friendly service, incredible sandwiches with proper Italian ingredients. The pastries and home made ice cream was too die for! We will definitely be returning next time we are in Wells!

Oh my goodness! The best food and the best coffee in wells! Extremely underrated. Surprised it isn’t busier! Would 100% recommend.

Great little family cafe - excellent coffee and a good choice of things to eat. Lovely ice cream.

Love this place with all its homemade goodies and amazing people who run it

Quite simply the best coffee in Wells. What more do you want from a café? What makes it standout from the chains though, apart from its superior coffee, is the wonderful Angelina and her team. Angelina makes everyone welcome and is always ready for a friendly chat. Being Italian, she is an expert barista - hence the exceptional coffee - and makes all her own cakes and ice creams. Angelina's tiramisu is heavenly!!

Lovely friendly family run cafe with an Italian theme but also plenty of English options. Good extensive menu with lunchtime favourites and all day breakfasts. Nicely cooked food supported with attentive service. Full barista coffee machine along with hot chocolate and teas. I had egg and chips and my husband had the breakfast which were both great. Highly recommended for a quick brunch/lunch or afternoon tea.

I was in the barbers next door but it looks wonderful!!!

Home cooking including baked items. Cakes, Canolli, pizza, and other goodies home produced. I was only sorry we weren't in Wells long enough to try them all. We did tale some home to make up for it.

Great authentic panini and arancini. The lemon polenta cake is favoloso!

A real Italian café in the middle of Wells. Excellent italian sfogliatelle, cannoli e biscotti. Great coffee too

Great espresso. Just what I needed to start my day!

Great family run cafe. Gelato really good. Can't wait for the Xmas pudding flavour Frank 💕

Fantastic home made gelato and Italian pastries. A great find.

Stopped for a coffee and cake after visiting the market. Friendly service.

Delicious homemade ice-cream and some very different flavours at times.

Really lovely cafe. Very large list of food and warm sandwiches and probably the best coffee I've had in weeks!

Gorgeous ice cream and very friendly staff.

Great if you are a fan of ice cream .

Great food, friendly service, nice people.

The best Ice-cream in Somerset!

Lovely little place friendly staff and great ice cream.

Friendly family restaurant, comfortable, seating inside or out, beautiful coffee.

Called in out of the cold in December, admittedly it was 14:30 but run out of soup and jacket potatoes, essential good warm food. settled on toasted sandwiches, no ham but never mind, quality ok but nothing to write home about and possibly the smallest of small hot chocolate’s I have ever seen. Coffee was good and I am sure the ice cream would be fab but not in the rain and cold. Two waitresses, one polite and helpful, one sullen and rude. Could have been 4* if you had tried, however I have given it an over generous 3.

Very friendly and welcoming place to sit, chat, meet friends/family, have a coffee and something to eat. Children and babies welcome (even when they are teething). Brilliant range of ice creams too.

Small and cosy place with an atmosphere. Good food, reasonable priced.

A lovely atmosphere, excellent food, delicious hand made Italian ice cream.

The people are lovely here, very chatty and very friendly. The food is great here, and the coffee is definitely, THE BEST!

Full English. ....yummy. .😀 Still yummy..😊

Great place to visit, amongst my favourites in Wells. Great food, great specials great service. Their ice cream is very good

Always greeted with a smile and the best place to grab a hot coffee. Saturdays are busy but well worth it, the menu is varied and food is lovely.

Great coffee bar. Wonderful food freshly prepared. Well worth a visit.

Friendly staff and fantastic home made ice-cream.😎

Gorgeous coffee and smashing Panini's.

Very nice little cafe with locals and good food and good prices

Ignore the chains, this is the place to get a really good coffee.

Great coffee and let's support the smaller guy

Fantastic restaurant, lovely lunches, ice cream to die for! Every time my family visit Wells we always come here! The service is fantastic and the staff are lovely, always welcoming. Would recommend the antipasti and paninis, yum! :) As the old saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover, it's not the best looking restaurant but you wont regret dining here!

Excellent service, brilliant coffee, ice cream made by Frank in the shop, a must to try. A much better place to go than the big brand coffee shops ;O)
