Cedar Tree Cafe in South Somerset

What a wonderful visit - great welcome from all the staff - a real Team. The food was delicious and well presented plus the atmosphere in the restaurant, although very busy as always, was very relaxed. Just a Great Big Thank You to you All. As you step out of the restaurant you're enter a most delightful shopping area; so many hand made goodies. Pottery, paintings, home crafted scarves + a super selection of cards + home made preserves and more. If you're thinking of visiting Somerset then think YANDLES.

Mum's favourite place. Ordered her favourite, bacon bap. Was told breakfast finished at 11.30. When I asked what the time was (I really didn't know) the answer was 11.32. Ha ha. So asked for a BLT instead (lunch option). "Lunch doesn't start till 12". So we sit and wait for half an hour? "Yes". Ha ha again. Not even a pretend show of 'I'll just go ask the kitchen nicely.' Give this one their due - they take their duties VERY seriously. Still mum's favourite place, as staff service and food usually spot on. Hopefully this one is just an anomaly. All things must pass ... 🙏

Popped in for a quick lunch. Fantastic ham salad roll. Wonderful staff. Service with a smile .Highly recommend.

My husband and I visited Yandles for lunch as we have always found it enjoyable and today was no exception. We arrived about 2 and it was quieter and we were served quickly. I had the risotto which was delicious and my husband had ham, egg and chips which he enjoyed. Our meals were served quickly and very hot. The staff, as always, were very efficient.

Excellent food it was hot and tasty. Very reasonable prices. Brie, bacon and ciabitta cranberry chips and salad best I have ever had. Perfect lunch or afternoon tea. Amazing staff

We were really excited when we arrived as the cafe was quite busy and we were expecting great things, we ordered ham egg and chips and a woodmans lunch, the ham was wet supermarket sliced ham and the chips were a pound a bag chips from Iceland I should think. The woodmans lunch advertised granary bread and we asked if we could swap for white bread which was agreed, a very big mistake I think, it was swapped for two slices of ready sliced bread! This with a tomato half a dozen pieces of cucumber and three mousetrap sized chunks of cheese did not equate to the price of £9.50, The cafe was lovely the staff were polite but the food did not live up to the standard you would expect from such a great facility in martock.

Relaxed & friendly atmosphere, really nice outside seating area. The food was top notch- locally sourced, fresh and good value for money. Definitely filled me up and I am incredibly greedy.

Slow and inaccurate Double charged on one breakfast Hot drinks arrived after the breakfast Poor quality sausage and processed bap roll Cakes looked nice Personally would give a wide bearth

I go here quite often . Friendly staff . Very good value for money . Cake is amazing very yummy .lovely outside area . Nice treat .

This is a lovely cafe that I like to pop into when on walks to Martock. Very friendly, reasonably priced, clean and lovely food and coffee! A nice little addition to the shop there too x

We visited Yandels for a look in the wood shop and stumbled upon this cafe. Lovely food especially the selections of cake. Polite staff, who were more than happy to accommodate us even when the cafe was absolutely packed. Will definitely be back for afternoon tea.

Five of us went for lunch and the cafe was very busy with customers which was impressive for a Monday. Three of us had cream teas whilst two had BLT rolls with a portion of chips. We all agreed food quality was very good and very competitively priced. Service provided by well trained and experienced staff.

Stopped by for a Sunday all day breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Prompt service in a relaxing atmosphere

Delicious cream tea with fresh scones. Super service - prompt and polite. I’ll definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere, just right for a local cafe. Thank you!

Yandles Café is next to the excellent gift shop and has a pleasant rear terrace (for warmer days), as well as external seating near the entrance (good for dogs and their companions), and plenty of tables inside. Fine selection of freshly baked cakes and scones. Loose leaf and speciality teas, as well as a good range of coffees and soft drinks. It is an enjoyable place for an informal breakfast (the "Saw Miller's" offers a hearty, omnivorous full works, but there are delicious pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan options available too.) It is pleasant location for an informal lunch with friends or family - daily specials (such as fish cakes or stew) as well as soups, sandwiches, hot dishes, etc... The café is a popular location for tea (last orders at 4.15pm). The staff are helpful and cheerful. The café is owned and run by the family of the saw mill and other businesses on the site - they are brilliant at supporting the local community; staff come from a range of backgrounds but all take pride in their work and determined to provide a great service. Good to know that ingredients are locally sourced and food freshly prepared. Parking is easy - there is a substantial car park on site. I popped in for a pre-Christmas breakfast with my sister earlier this week - a local group were singing carols and it was very festive. Be warned, the café is popular with people from the area, as well as passing travellors en route on the 303, and can be busy at peak times.

What a lovely place to spend some time! Adjoining the gorgeous gift shop, you can get breakfast, lunch, or sweet treats. My particular favourite is the homemade soup, perfect for a winter lunch. The staff are always very friendly and the cafe can get very busy but there is plenty to look at on site if you do have to wait a little. Outside seating is available in the better weather.

I tried this cafe some time ago and it was awful. However, i decided to try again as this may have been an unusually bad day. It wasn't! I have attched photos of the absolutely appalling BLT. We waited around 20 minutes for this. The cafe was half empty and only one other order was in abeyance, so no excuses. I heard the 'ping' of the microwave and my worst fears were realised when a re-heated microwaved piece of charcoaled bacon was placed in a bap with limp lettuce and two slices of tomato. To add insult to injury, we had to wait for the tea though goodness knows why. It was so strong that it was undrinkable. I asked for some hot water and was given a tiny milk jug full. In fact, the young chap serving drinks plainly had no idea what he was doing and was excruciatingly slow. I hear another couple complain that their tea was cold. My advice is to avoid. Maybe when the boss is round things are better but the people working today could not possibly claim that they were understaffed, there were at least 4 people in view and they did very little work.

Yandles cafe has a shop attached to it. Whilst ordering take away coffee the wait was about 20 minutes. Whilst its not a chain coffee shop it was very very slow.

Lovely place with a sun trap at the back. Pleasant staff with ample parking. A craft centre with a cafe. Only a few minutes off the A303, why go to a Starbucks? Would I return? Yes.

Lovely food in this clean and tidy cafe. Lovely craft shop with a large selection of items. When next in the area would definately call again.

Sometimes we feel that we want something a little simpler to eat, rather than constantly choosing to find and eat more elaborate food. Today we wanted a late lunch of simple, but good, fare. We were visiting the splendid Montacute House, deep in the southern...

We called into this lovely cafe by chance travelling back from North Devon,we left the A303 to find a village establishment instead of awful food at places on the main roads. The place was very safe and well organised regarding Covid! All the staff were...

Highly recommend, excellent Covid safe measures in place. Fantastic food and friendly service. Will definitely be back

Visited for the special deal of coffee and pastry for £3.25 between 9am & 11am. Good to see all staff had face coverings and there was hand sanitizer as you went in and we were given a warm and friendly welcome. Have to say the coffee was delicious, best I’ve had in this area. Pastry was good too. Will definitely visit again.

Been here several times with my mum, it’s fairly small but very friendly and there always something nice on the cake counter. We were in early on our last visit so both had breakfast which was very good, the bread they serve is really good, proper fresh bread. Once you’ve finished you can explore the shop and craft area which is full of lovely things.

Went in for a coffee and we ended up have cheese onion and bacon quiche and coffee and my wife had cream tea with coffee instead of tea food was great service was excellent what a lovely restaurant

Visited this cafe for a delicious lunch! The menu choices are imaginative and different, the cafe has a real feel about it, busy and welcoming! Under new friendly management, making a real difference, with customer satisfaction the main focus. There is an outdoor area as well as the indoor area, and of course, you can visit the Gallery, Woodshop, Hobby Shop so you can make a really varied trip whilst you are there.But make sure you stop by the cafe for a coffee and cake break or for lunch whilst you are there!

Every bit as good as others have said. Visited after a friend’s well-founded recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. We did, however, think the portion sizes were too large! It was impossible to finish my meal (scampi & chips) despite being initially hungry. I think they could reduce portion size and thereby reduce food waste )and improve their profit margin at the same time) without detrimental effect on their customer offer. My partner enjoyed her lasagne with salad, and we were delighted that they sell Luscombe soft drinks with their excellent menu. Recommended!

I go here quite often . Always very welcoming . Quick service . Friendly staff . Very good value for money . Cake is amazing . Haven’t found any I don’t like as they are all yummy and to such a high standard . You need to visit .

Stopped for a break on our Ride out. Excellent food and good coffee. Pleasant friendly Staff. Had a good supply of home made cakes.

I visited the cafe with my friend. I ordered a sandwich and my friend ordered the soup of the day. My sandwich was freshly made, generously filled and tasted delicious. There’s a great range of choices and lots of daily specials. The service is friendly and there is a super local village atmosphere. A great place to visit for coffee or lunch!

Always look forward to visiting Yandles as part of my work role, so I can guarantee to get a good coffee & bacon roll, or lunch the other day, enough though I was late, the girls still rustled me ham & eggs...great service.

Lovely food & drinks, a great selection of cakes available too! Service has always been very friendly.

I used to go for lunch with my parents at Cedar Tree Cafe in Martock fairly regularly and used to enjoy it. The food and service was good. I went there in December and was really disappointed. The food choice was half of what they used to have and what they were offering was really expensive. On top of that the person serving was no really pleasant. So overall, a really disappointed experience. Not been back for lunch since as they are other nicer alternative venues in the village.

First time popped into this little tea room. It’s set within the craft shop and has an outdoor patio area. A couple of young girls were on the till. Lucky it wasn’t busy as I’m not sure how they would have coped. They were very friendly but a bit slow in serving.

Went to the Yandles power tool show today. An excellent venue for all types of hobbies and crafts (including woodwork, art, needle craft)

A lovely friendly cafe at a traditional arts and craft centre. Wonderful homemade coffee and walnut cake, better than my mother in laws and that’s saying something. And a fruitcake that was just perfect. Excellent choice of savoury meals and a really good looking gluten free cake, usually very important to me, if with my daughter.

The cafe was revamped last year. We have used it more than four times since and have been disappointed by...

Popped in here on a Sunday during a trip to Somerset. The cafe has been refurbished since our last visit....

We were in the area and used the trip advisor app to find this great little cafe whilst we were...

Llamamos para café y terminamos teniendo un delicioso almuerzo. Todo está preparado en el lugar y a la orden, puede haber un retraso cuando está lleno, pero tan vale la pena esperar.

Mi marido y yo visitamos el Cedar Tree Café en Yandles alrededor de una vez al mes con sus padres. Siempre tenemos un almuerzo ligero - rollos de tocino, sopa, y a veces algunos tarta! El servicio y la comida siempre es muy buena, y una gran relación calidad-precio. Tienen un menú limitado los domingos, pero durante la semana hay una buena selección de opciones dulces y saladas. El café ha sido recientemente renovado y es muy agradable y cómodo.

Having been to the hospital in South Petherton we came out wanting decent hot drinks so we headed for The Cedar Tree, not far away. They were not far off closing but were more than happy to supply us with a tea and a coffee. The cakes looked lushious but we resisted. They do basic snacks and have a "Specials Board" at lunch times, all home made. We have not been in The Cedar Tree since it was re-vamped a few months ago. It is now very stylish and comfortable. You have a choice of sitting at a table or lounging in the comfy sofas. During better weather there is an outside terrace seating area to enjoy. They also have on sale jars of pickles and chutneys, or jams and marmalades. I came home with some delicious Gooseberry & Elder Flower jam which I later succumbed to on fresh bread and butter, well worth it. The staff are welcoming and helpful and make your visit all the more pleasurable. If you get there in time you can later wander round the crafts & hobbies sections, or pop over to the gallery. Last year I purchased a very pretty picture of a tawny owl which I had framed and now adorns my hallway. There are lots of pictures to choose from. If you work it right you could arrive in time for lunch, have a wander round and have afternoon tea before going home having had an enjoyable day out. And take home a jar of something yummy as a reminder.

El café tiene excelentes opciones con un gran servicio. Parada ideal para tomar un café o aperitivo durante el día. Las ofertas caseras son excelentes.

A great find 'excellent service, delicious cakes and coffee, great service, charming staff, attached to a very interesting hobby shop and timber mill. A very enjoyable visit

We were planning a half day in the Langport and Martock areas so I went on to Trip Advisor beforehand to check out suitable places for a light lunch. The Cedar Tree had good reviews so we went there. We arrived at 11.50am and ordered a baguette and a ploughman's and the waitress said she would make them up at midday which is when they start serving lunch. They were incredibly good and definitely worth waiting for! We also ordered tea for two and it was proper loose leaf tea with a strainer. I would happily call in here again for a meal - they also serve jacket potatoes. It's a large building with additional outside seating and there's also a nice shopping area for people who like arts and crafts.

Whilst staying at The Hollies Hotel, I decided to go for a walk and explore Martock. After walking for a while and getting hungrier by the second, I chanced upon the Cedar Tree café and boy, was I glad I did!The café has quite a few covers but wasn't too busy (it was coming up to the finishing time for lunch orders), so after spending a while perusing the menu I decided on the brie Ploughmans. It arrived very quickly (along with a pot of loose Earl Grey tea) and was delicious - a huge amount of cheese, lovely pickle/chutney, a fresh salad selection, sliced apple and a warm crusty roll with butter. It was a huge plateful and was just yummy.Very reasonably priced and with very friendly, helpful staff, I just wish I'd had room for one their delicious-sounding cream teas or a slice of homemade cake. I would definitely recommend this delightful café to family, friends and anyone else who's listening!

After a stroll at Town Tree Nature Reserve, this was the perfect stop for a hot chocolate and a cake. As always, nice friendly staff and tasty food and drink. There is also the craft shop and gallery to visit which we also highly recommend.

Great place for lunch or afternoon tea, or cream tea. The food is home cooked and fresh, the service is very good, once you have placed your order at the counter.Puddings to die for, always good choice of home cooked deliciousness.And all at very reasonable prices.A couple of less positive notes...in winter the café can be on the cool side to sit in, and the coffee served in cafetiere could be much better, it lacks flavour and strength.

Fantastic food. Staff so friendly, you feel like one of the family. Have visited on few occasions now and love it. Located within the Craft Shop of Yandles Timber yard. Highly recommend for the DIY, Crafter in everyone, also a great place to meet up for a drink and chat. They have regular craft events and coming up in April is their Spring Show, with woodwork and craft. Check out the website for more.

Located on the Yandle's timber site it is an ideal place to break our journey to North Devon (as well as an excuse to buy more timber or tools). It is a small cafe at the back of the craft shop ideal for a cup of tea and a snack, or a more substantial lunch. There is a good range of food, hot and cold, served to the table by friendly staff. It is now a regular stop off point for us and is consistently good. Only drawbacks are that it can get busy and the toilets ,which are shared with the rest of the site, are not over special.

We recently moved to the area, and on a trip to Yandel's to purchase some timber for our fireplace mantel we stumbled up this very lovely cafe. The staff were ever so friendly and the food was so wonderful! We ordered a lamb and mint suet pie and fish pie. Both were prepared with lovely fresh ingredients and the portions were quite substantial.Too full for any of the lovely cakes, we decided to take some home for later in the day and they too did not disappoint! We will definitely return!!

We use the Cedar tree as a stopping point going to and returning from Cornwall. Only five minutes from the main road, free parking and a woodworking and craft centre thrown in.Portions are good, the food is always good. We both had chicken and ham suet pudding which came with a good selection of veg, highly recommended. Just make sure you use the toilets indoors near the café, the others are used by the timber mill staff

The setting was great for this cafe, with a good range of things available, and plenty of specials! My other half is vegetarian, and there were plenty of options to choose from. The food was great. We had a bacon baguette and jacket potato. the bacon was cooked very well, and the jacket with beans and cheese was also very good. We finished with some chocolate cake, which was obviously homemade, and tasted brilliant. Only slight downside is that we didn't get any cutlery with our food, so had to ask for some, but it didn't spoil the afternoon, and was only a very minor issue, and we would definitely come back!

Just found Cedar Tree by chanceWhat a lovely surpriseGood choice of lunches and specialsI ate a lovely warm crusty roll withbrie and cranberry, and my daughterhad a bacon roll, both were delicious!Good Coffee alsoWould definitely recommendand would visit again, hopefully soon!

We came across Cedar tree cafe by accident, and really glad we found it. We had a lovely lunch, the food was first rate and the coffee was superb. Lovely atmosphere and superb selection of craft and unique gifts in the shop onsite.

Very friendly and the food is delicious. Well worth a visit if your looking round Yandles and the village.............

We were searching for wood at Yandells sawmill, afterwards we decided that lunch was in order and wandered over to the little cafe in the Craft Centre. It is called The Cedar Tree and is absolutely lovely. Very nice place with lovely food, huge portions and huge teapots. We enjoyed the whole experience.

The Cedar Tree Cafe is situated within the Yandles woodworking complex in Hurst. We arrived here for mid-morning coffee. Despite a cool breeze we found a table in a suntrap out on the back terrace where our drinks were brought out to us by a very friendly lady. An hour or so later we returned for lunch. It was a Monday but the cafe was packed. Clearly it has a good reputation. There were four of us and we had sandwiches and homemade mushroom soup. I am always suspicious of warmed-up bread rolls but these were as fresh as can be. Everything, food and service, was excellent. The cakes also looked scrummy and I can testify from a previous visit that the scones are good too.

I think this place has changed name - looks like the same location on the map anyway. A cracking little cafe with excellent cakes and reasonable value.

We visited here for a Saturday lunch.There is a a Specials board as well as a menu. We chose a jacket potato with cheese and beans and a lasagne and although we had to wait about 30-40 minutes (the cafe was full) , it was well worth it. The food was superb - well presented, good sized portions and very tasty. Will definitely go back again.

We visited Yandles craft shop, in which you will find this little gem of a cafe. It was a Sunday so they had a limited menu, but the cake was delicious, the scones lovely and the bacon and cheese turnover I had bursting with flavour. Nice friendly staff topped off the experience. Well worth a visit.
