Crofters in Mendip

Good food! Could have been slightly hotter. Large portions excellent, friendly service. Definitely make a second visit. Good variety for a small cafe. Toilet 🚽 facilities need an upgrade.

Had one of the nicest cafe lunches in a long time. Cafe was very busy so we had to wait for a table - but then it was market day. I'm glad we waited. Portiosn were generous, staff were helpful.

Popped in here for a coffee as I'm currently on crutches, and my wife had gone to walk the dog. I was told there's a minimum £5 purchase to pay via card (a real pet peeve of mine). I almost left, but a waitress suggested I buy a bottle of water to make up the amount. Foolishly, I agreed. Sat down, and realised that Wells has the worst mobile coverage ever, so no Internet and barely a phone signal. The coffee arrived, and I asked if there was WiFi, but there was not. So now I'm on my own, with no reading material, and no Internet, in quite a dreary cafe. I took a few sips and decided to abandon it and go elsewhere (ending up in Costa, despite preferring to support independents). I gave it 2 stars because the coffee (the small amount I drank) was actually very nice.

I have never been to such a cafe where the counter staff have been so rude, if you don't like working in hospitalilty find another job!!!

On seeing the gluten free options available we stopped here first for coffee and decided to return for lunch. It’s a busy place, with some nice outside seating. I can’t tell you just how good it is for gluten free. They were very attentive. That my two girls could have a toastie and not worry about cross contamination is a real bonus. 4 cakes available AND gluten free ice cream cones. We love coming to the Bath and Wells area on holiday and this has gone on our list of a must come to place for the future. Thank you so much. We had a very enjoyable day in Wells and your cafe was very much part of that.

First visit for lunch and will defo come here again. In fact we did later the same day and had a cream tea. For lunch we both had jacket potatoes served with side salad. Large coffees were enormous and super hot so lasted whilst we ate.

So good that I came here for lunch two days in a row. Just when I thought that Wells was a culinary desert, apart from Fatso's Wednesday-Sunday evenings, I find this little gem. I sat outside, on my return visit, all of the outside tables were taken, so they set up another...service! Prawn sandwich and two types of wine, simply the best! Cake for pud, can't go wrong.

We enquired about any Veggie food on the menu as nothing was marked. staff were not interested and had no clue what was in the dishes. When we started to leave they were sniggering and thought it was very amusing. We will never go there again or recommend it.

Een uitgebreide kaart, voor elk wat wils. Geen hoogstaande gerechten maar goed klaargemaakt en met een vriendelijke glimlach geserveerd.

Lovely traditional cafe , great choice of food and all homemade. Reasonably priced , very tasty food had Stilton /Mushroom quiche the salad was made up lovely . Friendly efficient staff , good service . My first visit was great , I will be back

Fabulous cream tea sitting in the sun. The scones were delicious, tea perfect and staff super friendly and accomodating. A great place to go!

The Market Place Cafe in Wells is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and a bustling atmosphere filled with locals and a few tourists—a sure sign of a great spot. It is located conveniently close to the Cathedral, the cafe offers the perfect respite after exploring the historic sights of Wells. We couldn't resist trying their Sticky Toffee Biscoff cake, and oh my goodness, it was pure indulgence. The combination of sticky toffee and Biscoff flavours was a match made in heaven—a true delight for the taste buds and their caramel shortbread, was a revelation. The caramel layer ensured that the shortbread remained moist and delicious—a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. And last but certainly not least, we had to try one of their pasties, and let me tell you, it was a game changer. Hands down the best pasty we had on our entire 28-day trip—flaky pastry filled with savory goodness, it was simply divine.

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!

Good coffee and egg sandwich with side salad. Panini was great too . Good service , staff were lovely and welcoming. Cakes looked very nice

Disgusting booked a table for 12.30 food didn't arrive for half hour and wrong food sent back half hour later still waiting for food despite other food orders arriving for other customers one hour wait and left without being served tried to complain but told manager was busy avoid horrible experience

Great friendly cafe with a good selection of gluten free food. Had lunch and cake and came back later for ice-cream. They opened a new box of ice-cream for me, washed the scoops and their hands. Highly recommend

Pleasant staff, excellent service . Food was brought very promptly considering it was a busy lunch time. Quantity and quality of the food was superb.

Nice little cafe on the main street, We stopped off just before closing time (sorry) hahaha, the team were more than happy so seat us and sort out or order (Cream Tea) made ourselves feel rushed but the guys assured us there was no rush… Lovely serves and scones

After waiting 15 mins to get served as it was the same queue for Ice Cream. Was told we are sort staffed..not my problem. Got to the front..one bacon sandwich please..etc..sorry thats a breakfast menu?.never understand that. Its 2 pieces of bacon and bread...why so difficult. I was with my two elderly parents and we got up and walked out. Dreadful service..

Lovely little Cafe on Market Place in Wells. Very friendly and helpful staff - tasty food / reasonably priced. Just the place for refreshments when in Wells. Recommended

Had delicious ice creams (cookies and cream, strawberry and clotted cream, raspberry pavlova and on recommendation coffee mocha). Friendly staff, generous portions, value for money

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.

Such a lovely cafe for offee or lunch or tea. Close to cathedral and Bishops house. We had coffee and returned later for lunch. Nothing was too much and we had prompt friendly service a nd hot tasty drinks and food

What a lovely cafe. Very accommodating, put through child’s order first while we were still deciding. Asked for my own choice of filling on toastie, no problem. Chicken and bacon salad was massive! Very nice

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.

What an amazing cafe… we only popped in for an ice cream and the service they offered my granddaughter who has Coeliac was first rate.. they had a large selection of flavours and even gluten free cones … a new ice cream tub was opened and fresh scoop without us even asking.. thank you for making her feel safe and special

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.

Lovely food with good homemade food for vegetarians and vegans too. Good friendly service. I will be visiting again.

It shouldn't be that difficult to get scones that are freshly baked that day, but it is! The savoury cheese scones with cheese and apricot chutney, and the plain scones with clotted cream and jam were both fresh and delicious. The place was absolutely buzzing...

Stopped and had some drinks and cakes. Excellent cake (carrot gluten free, normal carrot cake, lemon and blueberry cake). Kids had an ice cream and a sausage roll. Coffees were good too.

Stopped here for coffee and cake on market day, great little cafe for people watching. Cake was delicious and the table next to us had ordered goat cheese jacket potatoes which looked lovely. Highly recommend for a good coffee stop right opposite the fountain

Pretty disappointed. This used to be a nice cafe, good (simple and basic) food at a very reasonable price. However it's got very expensive but not any better. Almost £10 for a Jacket potato is dear. I paid £9 odd of the ham egg and...

Here's a great place for lunch. Friendlly staff, home cooked food & a good choice of cakes. The ham, egg & chips was excellent.

Stopped in here for some lunch on a Saturday. Although the food was pretty good, it took an age to arrive. They were not busy at the time. When we were finished eating we wanted to order some cake for dessert, but it seemed as...

We have frequented this coffee shop a few times on holiday over recent years and it is always excellent. Today we just fancied drinks and I have to say the hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. To state the obvious, it was really chocolatey! Many aren’t!...

Excellent service. Very attentive. Great tasting food and coffee. Pleasant surroundings. Well worth a visit. Thank you very much

Good value, very helpful and friendly and a great location right by the Bishop's Palace and the Cathedral, with seating outside in a pedestrian area.

Stopped here for lunch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice to find somewhere that prepares fresh gluten free sandwiches which were excellent and came with a nice side salad and crisps. My wife had a jacket potato with beans which she thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Popped in for a late lunch. Meals were delicious. Staff were great, and made cheese on toast even though it wasn't on the menu. Very friendly gem of a place.

Very polite staff and very well organised. On arrival, shown to table at back of cafe and wirhin minutes returned to take our order. Noticed staff were cleaning tables as soon as they became free to keep everything tidy and covid free. We had Pot of tea and two cream teas which was lovely and arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. Floor area well marked for social distancing.This is how cafe's should be run in theses uncertain times. Well done!

On a very wet visit to Wells, we needed a cuppa and a snack. We found this small but pleasant cafe by the market. We were well looked after and so was our dog. He had a treat. Lovely friendly staff. Good experience.

It is not often that my wife can have a choice of gluten free cakes but she was so pleased that we took some home too. The latte was ok as was the teacake. Very friendly and pleasant service. Choice of inside and out seating.

Had lunch in here All the usual covid things in place. Really nice pastie and chips. Pasties was like a real cornish treat My wife had brie and cranberry sandwich which was really nice too. Nice place to stop.

Long wait for food and miserable woman working there. Also they charged more there for a coffee in a paper cup with dirty, cheap seating, than a lovely little coffee shop over the square with pleasant staff and nice seating areas. I'm glad we moved on to have our coffee.

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.

Visited Wells on a wet day looking for a place to eat and found the Market Place Cafe. Thoroughly enjoyed their Little Wells breakfast and my other half enjoyed the Deluxe. Good coffee too - and served by really pleasant and friendly young staff. Glad we popped in and would go again.

Lovely independent cafe. Visited with family whilst having a wander around Wells. Very pleasant atmosphere. Good service. Lovely food and drinks. Much preferred to the many chain cafes on the high street! Would highly recommend the cream tea!

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.

Me and my boyfriend came to Wells for the day and made a conscious effort not to go to a chain. We stumbled across this cafe and were very happy with the service and food. The panini was great value for.money and very filling with nice sides. The cake was also lovely and fresh. A wonderful place to visit with all the decorations at this time of the year and also in close proximity to the Cathedral.

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by . Set in the beautiful market place of Wells . Delicious lunches and a specials board . Range of cakes if you just want a snack. Highly recommend.

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.

One would expect a decent cuppa from an independant cafe.Dissapointed as I let it stew and brew a time, and still it tasted like warm brownish milk.Advice bring your own PG or a decent T bag as the ones being served are oh so cheap and nasty.

Before entering the Wells Cathedral we stopped at the Market place Cafe for a quick bite for lunch. It was humming! Full of happy looking people, great staff and a good selection from the menu. I tried the soup of the day, carrot and coriander. Delicious and reasonably priced.

Very well located for anyone visiting Wells Cathedral or the Bishops Palace. Excellent wide ranging menu of the "usual suspects" Home cooked, big portions, reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Popped out for a couple of hours to peruse the shops and charity shops in Wells, decided that a light lunch was in order, popped in the Market Place Cafe, wow, what a find, hubby and I both had Ploughman's as we only wanted light bites - or so we thought!

There are so many coffee shops in the area, but I think we picked the best one. The kids loved their ice creams, the cream tea was to die for, and the cakes amazing, all topped off with great coffee, reasonable prices, clean surroundings and friendly staff. I'm not sure what more you could ask for. The food looked amazing, but it was a sweet stop for us, although we would return for lunch if in the area again.

Went here a couple of times whilst visiting Wells. Easily found with good location in the Market Square, plenty of room inside. Wide choice of food and lovely cakes. Did the job for us, filled us up on our walk around the town.

Stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to find this gem so close to the cathedral. Friendly and helpful service , all three of us, including my 8 year old daughter, enjoyed a lovely home cooked lunch. Also the cakes and milkshakes on offer looked fabulous, but unfortunately we were all too full after lunch! I would choose this over any of the chain cafes! Thank you

I took my daughter here on her birthday last year and she wanted to go again this year We had tea and cakes for three. We enjoyed the cakes .There were a good selection to choose from.all looked very nice. The place looked clean and tidy and the service good. Good atmosphere .

Does everything you would get from a chain café but better quality. Surroundings good, furniture comfortable, staff very pleasant. Good very good. Only serious issue....fed onion in the salad!

We had a nice beer (me) and nice bite. Not a fancy place, but good food and just what we wanted for the day and time.

Have been a regular customer for quite sometime just lately feel as if complaints re food have been met with negative actions. Today, I was verbally abused re using the toilet of which there is only one. The staff change quite often and lately its lost 'something' so an alternative venue beckons

We ate our breakfast here on Sunday morning as a change from cereal at home.

Surprised that the ratings arn't higher for this lovely street cafe.

Enjoyed the best home-made quiche I've had for a very long time. Service was efficient and quick. Food was very nice. Glad I'm able to post a v.positive review once again. Thank you.

Lovely homemade scones and plenty of jam and clotted cream. Friendly staff and clean and tidy. Market on a Saturday.

I appreciated how despite being v busy, you went out of your way to cater for my dietary requirements (GF and vegan). Vegan options are not marked on the menu, but do ask. Large portions, delicious food, v good value. The smoothies are delicious (smoothie menu card is at the pay point). We were a group of 10 and everyone enjoyed their lunch. Thank you.

Great coffee and cakes. Good variety and selection which look attractive and nicely baked. Very friendly service and a nice environment to eat. Didn’t try savoury options but saw them go out and they looked good.

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

Excellent customer service. Good quality scones served with a lovely cup of tea. The wider menu looked tasty so well worth a second visit.

We were on holiday in Somerset and came to Wells to see the cathedral. We also had a wander round this pleasant little town and came across this cafe where we decided to have a bite to eat. It looked very clean and efficient, the food was very good and great value for money as well. I certainly recommend it!

Ordered two latte coffees and a cake each.

Only non chain café we could find in Wells-other than the Cathedral. Enjoyed smoked salmon and cream cheese bagette-friend had tasty jacket potato .May have a problem going to the bathroom if disabled-up 2 steps. Lovely black lab laying by his owner while he enjoyed his meal.

The food here is tasty & the portions generous. I had the scampi & chips, which was about £9. However,I think it was value for money as I had plenty of scampi & chips, along with a good portion of peas. It was all nicely cooked too. One of my friends had the cream tea which she enjoyed & another had a caramel topped fruit flapjack which, I'm told, was delicious. The food came out in good time & we were very happy with it.

A busy cafe which provides excellent lunch options - soup with sandwiches was a special and herb scones were also available. An excellent place to stop for lunch!

Excellent portion size -would highly recommend the ploughmans lunch in particular! Great selection of food including lunches, cakes, icecreams and loads of drinks. Lovely setting too just a stones throw away from Cathedral. Service was a little slow but I think that's just because they had loads of people wanting ice creams on a hot bank holiday weekend.

Very nice not commercial place with character, great service and good choices on menu. Worth a visit if you are in Wells.

Right in the middle of town, it's a good place to sit and watch the world go by. Really good food, the jacket potatoes were huge and well filled with tasty toppings and the coffee is good too. Friendly staff and good menu choices. Inside or outside seating, this cafe was a great find.

Good food, lovely staff and ideal place to just sit and people watch ! Close to Palace and Cathedral. Beautiful Wells !

Managed to get a seat outside in the sunshine. Coffee and scones were great. Wednesday and Saturday there's also a market right outside too. The cafe is very close to the cathedral and Bishops Palace gardens.

Discovered this cafe at lunchtime and went in to have a meal and to sample the tempting cakes & coffee. The cakes were delicious, I can particularly recommend the vegan cherry pie !! The meals also were beautifully prepared and very tasty. The staff were all lovely, even though, at lunchtime, the place was very busy & they were rushing to and fro with food.We will definitely be back when next in Wells.

We just stopped for coffee but it had a lovely range of cakes and meals, was very popular and the staff were good.

Stopped in for a cuppa while shopping, lovely place, friendly staff, had a huge selection of cakes etc, very clean, suitable if u had luds in a buggy as plenty of room, large tiolet with baby change area. All good.

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.

Had afternoon tea here,able to sit outside as it was a hot day.There was a good selection of cakes. The staff were pleasant & helpful
