Denelas in Mendip

Friendly and attentive staff serving great home baked food. They excel in looking after their customers

I called in to Denela's Coffee Shop (attached to the bakery) on a 1/2 day visit to Shepton Mallet. The first thing to state is that this is not a full-blown cafe so the menu choice is limited. I chose a steak and kidney pie with a cappuccino which came to £6.65. The woman standing behind the counter ignored me as I approached to order, she seemed to be busy making up a previous order. So I was served by a second woman, however the first server then piped up with "we don't do chips" as I enquired whether I could have chips with my pie - so not what I would call good customer service. There was also a constant loud noise coming from behind the counter during my visit - something to do with the bakery perhaps? The food and drink were OK but nothing special. There seems to be a dearth of good cafes in Shepton.

At the Shepton Show today, unfortunately the service was appalling and there was no respect for client's / my Covid concern. Absolutely no Covid precautions available for clients. The member of staff was almost mocking. I know this company is well respected locally hence my shock.

Regularly get my lunch from here, would everyday if waistline & budget allowed. Imo I find the subs best value, it's packed with your choice of filling + any salad you wish, although I always go for coronation chicken. Delicious own bread & more traditional cakes are also top quality, all baked by Danelas, best rocky road bars I've ever had. Highly recommend. Obvs it's only been takeaway for the last yr but still worth standing in the rain for.

Always fabulous sandwiches, rolls and jacket potatoes, pasties and cakes - always plenty of filling. Our go- to lunch place when we don't bring our own.

Ordered two pasties and two lattes to sit in and eat. The pasties came with a few crisps and bits of salad, the actual pasties were quite small and nothing special. Didn't like the cafe, there were lots of electric bulbs out and some of the ceiling had come down but didn't notice this until we had placed our order. Also, lots of scary metalwork above the counter, which didn't seem to fit in with the surroundings, but then they still had the wood Christmas tree and lights up, so obviously don't care. The lattes were okay, but we won't be visting again.

I ordered 4 fresh cream scones for a treat as I was visiting my mum, they were fabulous and she was absolutely delighted with her treat. Thank you

We visited the stall whilst at Glastonbury Festival. Ordered one veggie and one breakfast pastry. £9.00 for the 2 so looking forward to a tasty treat. The breakfast was good however the veggie was bland with a very small layer of filling reminded me of baby food. We have often bought rolls and cakes from the Shepton Mallet shop so quite disappointed with the hot savouries

Really nice lady who runs or owns this Bakery. Good amount of filling in sandwiches (does depend a bit on who serves you - the younger staff may be less generous on filling). Great cakes. Definitely recommend this place.

Love this place, always try to pop in once a week! Much better than what you will buy in a supermarket! 10/10 on all counts!

I always pop into Danelas when I'm in Shepton Mallet I usually ham salad roll. Very good food at reasonable prices.

Great local bakery with freshly made sandwiches and fabulous donuts. "The bacon and cheese turnovers are the best turnovers ever" according to the guy with the beard who sits opposite me at work.

Great place to grab food in your lunch break. Salads, jacket potatoes, sandwiches, pasties, pizza, bread, cakes and plenty of other things to choose from. All prepared in front of you. Also takes food orders and offer hog-roast services for functions. There is also a cafe out the back, so you don't have to eat on the run.

I love Denela's - the staff are amazing, the food is delicious, the food is priced just right - its a fantastic bargain!

A craft bakery with nearly everything cooked on the premises. The cafe is an adjunct to that but the food is simply and tasty, home cooked. There's a lovely garden.

Ayer fuimos a Denelas me para un sándwich rápido. Bastante extraño, entré por la puerta principal y fue inmediatamente dijo que volver a la calle y usar una puerta diferente, aunque podría haber accedido fácilmente la zona de asientos del lugar que me!

What a place Pasties pies cakes etc Had lovely sandwiches and big doughnuts Good value and friendly service

The café is an offshoot of a craft baker's who bakes on the premises. It's mainly snacks, good quality and reasonably priced.

I popped into Denelas earlier today, I have never been in before, various folk in there stocking up on their provisions, two very friendly ladies behind the counter. Two pasties purchased, piping hot, just under £4, very reasonable, well filled and tasty.

The best iced ring doughnuts you'll ever have. And the best bakers full stop! Very popular especially at lunch time when the office crowd are in!

Este es uno de mis sitios favoritos para tomar una sub o rollo, sin embargo la experiencia de hoy me ha decepcionado. La calificación de tres estrellas es sólo traerá muchas buenas experiencias pasadas, quizás no son simplemente tratando de reducir los costos. Las experiencias pasadas han sido fantástico repleto con abundante Subs todo fresco y llena de sabor. Sin embargo hoy he recibido unos cuantos rojos aros de cebolla y queso apenas suficiente para cubrir el despliegue en la subregión. El Mediterráneo? Los miembros del personal era muy agradable, pero no puedo evitar sentir defraudados hoy!

You might call this a patisserie-boulangerie, but it is far from being a Kensington-style fancy cake and bread shop. It is just a superb bakery and you have to queue at most times because it is such a popular place (it also has a café at the rear of the shop). . . . . and the Cornish pasties are to die for!

Great place to get lunch, or take out. The sandwiches are made to order, all the products look freshly made that day. The pasties, cakes, bread and rolls are all made on site first thing in the morning,

Brilliant pastrys especially the lardy cakes and muffins, I would recommend it to everyone I know great food and local where can you go wrong
