Rather clumsy service from the blonde waitress, my feeling is she had rather too much to drink the night before. Not impressed. I don't appreciate this kind of thing when I visit this town!

Found this place after a visit to the Bishops Palace. Fairly busy, had to wait to be seated, told to find a table and order will be taken..managed to get up steps with pushchair! Table found, annoyingly wobbly! Service was quick, pot of tea wishy washy, ran out of chicken nuggets after ordering, settled for sausages, meal arrived fairly fast as was told there would be a waiting time. Food reasonable.

Vising Wells from Chester and found this lovely cafe on the way to the cathedral. Clean and inviting; lovely welcome from the friendly staff. Had excellent, barista made coffee. We were so happy with it, that we went back for lunch! Soup + sandwich option, which at £10 was good value and delicious. Very good service throughout; we even got some tips on interesting things to see. We can heartily recommend.

visited this cafe last week. Was not sure if it was a cafe or ice cream parlour from the outside. went in , sign says please wait to be seated. I waited no one bothered with, or even acknowledged me, do s customer said just take as seat. I did , even then i had to go and ask for service. The two servers seemed fairly new, but ,seemed to be dominated by some young girl making the coffee. My server was pleasant and i am sure she could manage to put through a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. The tea was weak, cheap tea bag, bacon sandwich i reckon on tesco wholemeal bread, with sauce slopped on top, which i did ask for. Being a place like wells there are many tourists, so to them its i suppose a numbers game. Went a few doors up had coffee, and was welcomed, what a difference., the owner of crofters was only worried about her parcel. Never again.

Looking somewhere for lunch, we decided to try this cafe right on the market square. All staff were young people and they do their generation great credit - everyone was helpful and polite and competent. We were slightly eaely for lunch service so we started with cake, there was even a choice of gluten-free sweets! We tried the ‘courgette and avocado’ cake which tastes like nice carrot cake (both gluten and dairy free), and a ‘normal’ victoria sponge which was delicious too. For lunch we had a ‘normal’ tuna mayo cheese panini and a gluten free and dairy free jacket potato with tuna mayo topping. The ‘freefrom’ meal was marked with a sticker, all staff were clued up on allergens. The cafe is dog friendly and our dog got a treat too. We had a very enjoyable meal.

Ate outside here for lunch. Food was lovely (sandwiches and chips), but 2 of the sandwiches came toasted for some reason. Strange layout inside - the credit card machine is next to the door, so people queuing behind you have to move out of the way in order for you to pay this way. Outside tables were too small for 4 people eating. Crockery was not being tidied away very quickly outside and the light wind was whisking away all the menus and table numbers. These too weren’t being picked up by staff. Wouldn’t say I’d be rushing back here.

Wanted a light lunch and found this cafe in the marketplace. Was pleased it was well organised with its virus protection, sanitisers, only one customer inside at once and disposable food containers. We sat outside on the pavement and ate an assortment of sandwiches. I particularly enjoyed my Prawn Rose Marie on brown which came with some salad and nachos in a preformed polystyrene container with wooden knife and fork. When we were finished all the debris went into a large bin which I noticed was emptied regularly while we were there. Prices as expected in a busy tourist spot and service was good. Would recommend.

We came here for an icecream one afternoon in August. It said online that they were part of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, but we were charged full price and when we asked about it they said they weren't doing it. Perhaps they should make this clear before you order. Nevertheless, the icecream was nice.

Of course in this coronavirus lockdown, no restaurants are open as yet. We came to Wells just for a trip out and a change of scene, and naturally began to feel a bit peckish, so the only thing was to have an ice cream. We saw the Market Place Cafe was open with a small queue outside. So I joined the queue and bought us an ice cream each, a mint chocolate chip for my companion, and a chocolate heaven for myself. They were delicious. There weren't many places to sit, as we weren't allowed to sit in the cafe and all the outside benches were occupied, so we perched on the edge of the war memorial wall (not sure this is allowed). Anyway, we had a lovely day in Wells and thoroughly enjoyed our ice creams. The serving lady was very jolly, too.

I have been to this cafe many time over the years as I live in Wells and on the odd occasion I have felt dissatisfied with the service but today I was disgusted.. I went with my mum for lunch, I am coeliac with a dairy intolerance so when I saw it was 'vegan day' I was so pleased! I ordered our food and asked if they could check if the mayonnaise in the tuna jacket is dairy free, the girl called the kitchen and she was told they didn't know! It is a legal requirement to know what ingredients and allergens are in every single one of your items. I decided as I had eaten the tuna mayo before I should be ok.. I'd also ordered a almond milk hot chocolate, bearing in mind I'd said I was dairy intolerant, I was allowed to order this item with no information offered so I thought no more of it. Until I watched the miserable older lady making the hot drinks put 3 scoops of chocolate curls into a cup!? To wish I HAD to say is that chocolate, I ordered a hot chocolate.. She replied yes it is we don't have chocolate powder! No apology or an acknowledgement that it was the cafes fault not mine and even scowled at me as though I was being unreasonable! I said I'm sorry I can't have that as I said I can't have dairy, can I have an appletiser instead to which she snapped at the girl serving me to pass me an appletiser (which has now cost me £1.15 more than advertised due to the switch, no offer of a refund and still no apology).. We ate our food and left, no refund for the cheaper drink I received and I felt too upset to go and talk to the miserable lady again.. I have been in the hospitality industry for 25 years and this member of staff didn't smile at all through the whole of my visit at anyone staff or customers! Your staff needs training on allergens, customer service and need to learn to smile and engage with the public.. I will not be returning and I will not recommend this cafe in the future..

We are relatively local to the area and it is the 1st time we have visited this place . It's nothing special and it's just a mediocre Cafe offering nothing special in terms of service or menu. What put me off this place after requesting a small and simple cheese sandwich for our 1 year old grand daughter whilst we ate and we were served this ( pic ) and charge £3.75 for it - despite our party of 3 adults ordering other items from their full price menu. We did ask if that price for that sandwich was correct but their staff didn't seem to be able to give an answer and ignored uis until we left . In summary this place is expensive and it offers poor value for money. We waited 10 mins to place order at their counter (no table service). Their 'till staff ( x 3) didn't inspire much confidence and they seemed to lack initiative. In summary high prices taking advantage of the tourist/visitor trade to this popular town. We wont be back . I'd recommend the Crown Hotel directly across the road where there is a much better atmosphere , more variety on their menu , service is better all the same or lower prices for similar items.

Our visit was mixed. We went for lunch on a busy Saturday. Found a table without any problem and placed our orders. I ordered a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and my husband ordered prawn sandwich. His was fine but mine was not right. The smoked salmon was pale beige and smelt very odd. It had a weird texture like it had been defrosted.It tasted very odd.I took it out of the sandwich and put it on the side of the plate. I told the young waiter who was very sweet and went and told the cook. He came back out and said the cook will do you another one if you like but by that time i didn't really want it anymore as it made me feel a bit sick looking at it! I ate the sandwich with the cream cheese and the side salad and told him not to worry as I didn't want to make a big fuss. I think it would have been nice if the cook or a manager had come over though before we left. My husband said his sandwich was ok though so maybe I was just unlucky. The coffee was very good.

As the rain came, we dodged the familiar signs of Costa and other high street chain coffee places and sought out a local spot instead. We dipped in to keep dry and have 11’s...coffee and shortbreads. The shop was busy but we were served quickly. The coffee was decent and the shortbread was enough to keep me going. It wasn’t anything special though. I think the staff were overrun as the tables were piling up with previous guests coffee cups and plates. A queue began to form and I saw potential customers leave rather than continue to wait. I’d come back here again for the convenience of it all. It does the job.

Visited this cafe whilst visiting Wells. We ordered two wholemeal cheese baguettes and, in fairness, the lady serving me did ask if we wanted the baguette hot or cold. We chose cold, BIG MISTAKE as when it arrived the roll was obviously uncooked, doughy and probably straight from the packet. This was worst cheese baguette we've ever had, and we've had lots in the past. So basically waited what seemed ages (God only knows how much longer if we'd asked for it hot!!!), wasn't cheap and when we complained there was no offer of refund (not a problem as I won't be back) only that they come in half baked and that's what you get if you ask for cold. You've been warned

Food was greasyspoon calibre. Can’t be a chef in the kitchen. Awful value for money. Nice staff. Clean enough. Typical tourist trap with no care for return custom.

We always use this cafe when shopping in Wells. The staff are friendly and helpful. The soup is homemade and delicious. There are plenty of choices of delicious cakes to chose from

Great little place to stop and enjoy a hot drink and cake or in our case a cream tea. Great value for money with a pot of tea, 2x scones, clotted cream and jam only £5. We also tried the apple pie which was rather yummy. Nice cosy atmosphere with friendly service.

Popped in with my 2 children for a quick bite. Kids wanted ice cream, and a waiter duly sorted out two cones. He then wandered off and started making coffee leaving me standing there, ignored, waiting to complete my order. A waitress then asks if I need help. I order two J20s, a coke and their "special" BLT made with a Bloomer loaf. A second waitress arrives with the J20s both opened, but, having failed to ask what flavour, not the orange ones my kids wanted. Not wanting to make a fuss I let that pass. However the weird service and incorrect items were nowhere near as awful as the BLT. It was not (and at just under £8 this is an issue) made with a bloomer loaf, but with slightly stale white sliced bread. Minimal or no butter had been used, and the tomatoes tasted refrigerated . No apology was offered for the bread.

Called in at 11am for a morning latte coffee and a sandwich. Alas breakfasts served until 11.30 and lunches with sandwiches/panini start at 12 noon with all the hot food so ended up with latte and a tea cake. We were promptly served even though it was busy (guess people wanted to get out of the rain), the table was clean. Plenty of tables but if disabled/ in a wheelchair there are 2 floors being departed by one step. Waitress service. Plenty of delicious cakes for consumption at a fair price. Icecreams too if you like. We would call in again when in the area.

We've eaten here several times, we've ever had a bad meal, the staff are OK when ordering, not the friendliness, the young man who brings your food is excellent and friendly.

Came in after lunch hour when they were quiet. Staff continued to restock rather than serve me. Did this until a family walked in amd wanted ice cream. Served straight away. Then an elderly couple came in and ordered straight away. Spoke up and got ignored. Finally another coiple came in and were served instantly so I walked out. Never met such rude cafe staff before.

Popped in on a recent visit to Wells for breakfast. We had originally gone in for a sandwich, but for a little more could have a small cooked breakfast, so we plumped for that. The breakfast itself was lovely, and just the right amount for us. It had been cooked to order, and was piping hot. We got a dippy egg to boot, which is always great when it's cooked just right.

As the name suggest right in the Marketplace. Very clean with some outside seating. We had scones tea and clotted cream for two at 10 pounds in total. All very nice. No problems here. Good location.

This is our favourite haunt to sample a nice coffee and one of their delicious cakes. They also do very good main dishes, perhaps a little pricey, but worth sampling.

Lovely cafe but perhaps caters more for the coffee and cake trade than breakfast. We had the cooked breakfast of a thin small sausage, small piece of bacon, half tomato, one mushroom, an egg and a disproportionate dish of beans. Slice of toast but no side plate or knife to go with it. The food was good but I'd try other places before this one for breakfast

Well worth going here for breakfast. The food was extremely good and the service couldn't be faulted. A varied choice as well. Worth a visit.

Situated very near the Cathedral, it proved to be a good place for light lunches. We thoroughly enjoyed the brie and cranberry sandwiches, which we were able to eat at a table outside. There is a reasonable range of vegetarian options. It is not licensed, but serves an interesting range of non-alcoholic drinks. Table service was prompt and friendly, and we would recommend this establishment.
