Friendly service and interesting Asian options on the menu. Although I would like more clarity on what is in the “vegan balls” as being aware of what one eats is quite normal.

Now called Born Appetite, we had a fantastic Asian sharing platter for 2 for lunch with a great selection and lovely sauces. It made a lovely change to the usual sandwich or pasty. A lovely selection of cakes as well as a cream tea is also available. It is also the home of Dunster Gin and they stock a large variety of gins and rums and offer samples for tasting. Highly recommend.

We’ve just had a week’s stay in Dunster and ate at Born Appetit on about 4 occasions. The food was excellent! In addition to the usual tearoom favourites there was also a separate vegan menu and a selection of Filipino/Thai dishes. Mia, Spencer and all their staff are so friendly and recommended local days out. They also have a great range of gins to taste and buy. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Came in when visiting Dunster and it was lovely. The staff managed to move a table to fit six of us, the food was VERY quick and we left a tip! The shop itself is very unique and had a large selection of gin, with a little tasting station. My mum has quite a few dietary requirements but was able to order easily as many items on the menu already catered to this, as well as there being a separate menu for GF and vegan options. Will be coming back when we are in the area again :)

Now called BORN APPETIT and quite frankly one of the most well run, cleanest and most friendly place we have visited in many moons! Worth finding! The staff and atmosphere was simply delightful. The decor fun, interesting and an eclectic mix - go see for yourself. Child and dog friendly, welcoming and attentive staff. So, we had cream teas followed by gin tasting! Yes really! There is a small gift shop in half of the restaurant and you can taste locally sourced gin and rum, super idea! The food prices were by far the best in the village and we saw it freshly cooked for visitors who ordered specials of the day. There is lots of choice to eat and rest up,in this small village, so very pleased we read tripadvisor reviews first and found this place. Will return again and thoroughly recommend.

The photos here look completely different to what it is now. It’s also now named ‘Born’. They sell exquisite gin and let you sample pretty much as many as you like. The menu is Filipino food, and we ordered King Prawns with egg noodles. The food was unbelievable! So fresh, and almost citrusy. A substantial piping hot meal. So different from the sandwiches and pub food you’d find anywhere else in Dunster. Truly one of a kind and the chef clearly takes pride in her work. There’s little wonder why. I would travel back to Dunster again just for her food!

Chapel house is only a short walk from the entrance to Dunster castle, so it was an ideal place for lunch after a morning at the castle. It is a pleasant little cafe and gift shop. I had the fish ploughmans, which was very enjoyable. My husband had the spiced beans. We also enjoyed their coffee. After that we were ready to walk to the watermill and spend the afternoon in the castle grounds.

Diverted here upon recommendation from a local and glad we did so. The best tea cakes eaten for a long while with a decent coffee. Enjoyed the surroundings and the quirky table tops. Looked good for afternoon teas too - another time hopefully, but it was across the road afterwards for a visit to the castle (National Trust) before being on our way.

Visited here for the first time whilst on holiday in the area. We went for breakfast and had their not overly spicy homemade baked beans and the best ever mushrooms on toast we had tasted. We enjoyed both meals so much we went back the very next day for a late brunch and had the exact same meals. We were not disappointed and this time we overindulged ourselves with their very scrumptious coffee cake and millionaires shortbread. Just sad we discovered this very welcoming cafe at the end of our holiday otherwise we would have returned for a third time to try something else from their very tempting menu.

I wanted a really tasty, homemade, traditional afternoon tea as a Christmas treat for a group of guests who might be old in years but definitely young at heart. I was not disappointed. We enjoyed a lovely selection of finger sandwiches, really tasty cheese scones topped with oodles of smoked salmon, mini mince pies -(well it was for Christmas after all), gooey chocolate brownies and the lightest and fluffiest of scones with lashings of clotted cream and strawberry jam. Everything was home-made and served with great aplomb in mis-matched bone china which just added to the theme of a vintage Christmas tea party. Jonny and Gareth (the owners) made a point of asking if any of my guests had any allergies or dietary needs and when I mentioned that a couple were vegetarian another plate appeared with a few extra veggie specials. These chaps know how to look after you and are genuinely interested in the wishes of their clientele, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much from all of us, it was a really special afternoon.

Been here recently with my friend and just myself. Great coffee. Quiche was delicious. The warm friendly service along with tasty food at a good price is why it's kept busy and gets thoroughly recommended.

Very good quick service very obliging pushed two tables together To accommodate us, dogs allowed at the rear of the cafe. Two beautiful fresh warm scones and coffee £4.75, all three of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Ecclectic vintage tableware but quirky in a good way.

Stopped here for lunch and a wander around Dunster. Great menu for a tea room - the usual choices plus a few more. I had pea and watercress soup with a giant local cheese and chutney sandwich and hubby had beans and chorizo on sourdough. Would have loved a homemade cake too but I was full!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu has something for everyone. Great gift shop and Tea Room - in a lovely building and beautifully decorated/designed. Worth a visit!

We stopped here, as the reviews on TripAdvisor were so good and we were not disappointed. We had the homemade quiche with salad and the homemade chicken pie with mash. Really tasty and good value homemade food, which is what we like. We would definitely go again. Our only criticism is that the lattes were very strong and the puddings were not homemade, but don't let this put you off, you must visit, as this is just our view and what we would personally prefer. They have a fantastic choice of homemade cakes and the staff are very helpful.

The exterior has been nicely redecorated. The interior has been refreshed and expanded and now has about 55 covers and still has the excellent craft / gift / gin shop (note that many of the gins are on tasting - if they aren't too busy). The rather chilly outside loo has now been bought inside, with mega stylish decor. Still a similar interesting menu with excellent quiches, cheese scone / savoury combos, fabulous smoked mackerel pate and the like; their cakes are legendary ... all very reasonably priced. Wonderful drinks menu especially the alcohol - cheap G&Ts;, bottles of great English sparkling for the off licence price. The decor, cruets, mismatched crockery are quirkiness at the best. Cannot recommend highly enough

Had nice teas and coffees. Returned for lunch. Everyone enjoyed their light meals. The service was exceptional. Couldn't do enough for us. I wished I tried the cakes but the food was really good.

Wow. This place is great. Lovely staff and great food. A hidden gem. We had an afternoon tea which was just amazing. And our daughter enjoyed her chocolate brownie and crumpets. Definitely worth a visit here if you visit Dunster Castle.

We came with our two young daughters, one and six, for an early lunch, and had a wonderful experience. The woman who served us was so friendly and accommodating, and brought our food promptly. The food was really tasty and we polished it off. The cafe is bright, vibrant and convivial. To top it off after we’d walked up to Dunster Castle, one of the team had run all the way up the hill to return our daughter’s doll, which she’d left behind. He made her one very happy girl!

Having visited Dunster Castle we headed down the road to find a bit of lunch,and what a find! Excellent menu,excellent staff/owners,food is delicious,so well presented and such good value,and they have an amazing selection of (once again very reasonably priced) gifts,as if that's not enough...check out the wonderful gins on sale! Having walked in with no idea what sort of a lunch we would have,my friend and I walked out with a smug look on our faces that we had stumbled on such a gem..not to mention two scarves,a purse and a bottle of the fabulous Wicked Wolf Exmoor gin!

What a find! Excellent coffee and without doubt the best apple scones we have ever tasted. They were warm and fresh, we chose to have them with butter and jam - and what amazing home made apple jam! The lovely owner of this cafe managed to find us a jar of the jam to take home, we will certainly enjoy it. Everything home made in this cosy, friendly cafe. We will certainly call in again next time we are in the area.

Delicious fresh baked cakes and bread. Breakfasts were excellent and coffee was very special. In fact we visited twice during our weeks holiday. This little gem is tucked away on a quiet road and well worth visiting, even go out of your way, you won’t be dissatisfied. On another note the toilet facilities were the cleanest we’ve ever encountered. Try the fruit tarts and fresh baked bread, mouthwatering cream cakes and the best sticky toffee cake ever.
