Hundred Monkeys in Mendip

The drinks and food was OK but the wait was not,we sat there 40 mins and no apology when it arrived. Also the toilet was dirty and was only one which caused a long queue

Lovely food, decent portions and great service. The coffee was particularly good 👌 Highly recommend for a lunch stop.

We've used this place before, and not been disappointed with the atmosphere or food, and this last visit was good for both. But they get marked down for one change only. You order at the counter, orders are not taken at your table. You pay at the time of ordering. At this point, although you have to go to the counter to order and you have yet to receive your food (and so don't know what its like), you are asked if you'd like to add a 'service charge', with options on the payment key pad starting at a cheeky 15%. I have no idea what world the proprietors live in. Your food is brought to you, but that's the only service provided. I think like Totnes in Devon, Glastonbury is the Narnia of Somerset. You can, of course, offer no service charge, which is what I would advise you to do. Leave cash at the table if you're happy and feel a tip is appropriate.

Arrived at Lunch time 12 0’clock. Ordered coffee, glass of water and sandwiches. The chef was on his break! Drank the coffee the water didn’t arrive. After 1/2 hour we got our sandwiches and obviously didn’t have anything to drink with them. The coffee was ok and so was the sandwich. They would have been much better together.

Amazingly no chef between 12 & 12-30. Anyway we waited with our coffees. Had Brie and bacon sarnies. Ok. Coffee was ok. Service was good

No beef with staff. I took my kids in and the place feels unfriendly. Some staff were offish. I didn't have food as last time I tried nothing I liked was available. Their tea selection is amazing.

Gritty, loos need hygiene attention, really bad, windows need cleaning, dead leaves around plants, dirty mess from tramps sleeping outside window visible , just cover bottom of window so it blocks out the dirty mess outside, water bottles which are milk shaped bottles are filthy and need attention, backs of chairs filthy not cleaned in years , cob webs in light fittings , two americanos took 20min to arrive , finished cake and filled roll before it arrived , it’s basically a typical tourist / town visitor coffee shop which offers alcoholic drinks mixed with cafe style food and cake and run along the lines of grubby don’t care attitude cause we not catering for locals just visitors who we don’t have to impress cause we not gonna see you again. Wonder how clean kitchen area is ???

Good coffee and great cheesecake 😋

Only had black coffee. Their house coffee has a lovely flavour and is extremely smooth. Very drinkable.

Pretty sure some years ago I came here and had a hearty veggie meal .. recalled good food but overpriced .. Figured would get it again for breakfast .. Ordered the full veggie at £12 : eggs, veggie sausage, tomato, mushroom, local greens and toast .. didn’t seem so bad .. What we got was one egg fried and over cooked, regular mushrooms in butter, two small veg sausages and about 4 spinach leaves with one slice toast .. had to ask for the tomatoes .. which was a half of tomato when brought out … Taste not bad but considerably over priced and pretentious with a back ground of teas and coffees in canisters .. Would recommend the early grey tea but def not the food - Spend your money elsewhere

The Hundred Monkeys has always been our go-to cafe in Glastonbury, prior to and during moving here over a year ago. Sadly, I have seen this once vibrant, soulful cafe steadily go into decline. Yesterday,I took my partner for a birthday tea & cake. The cakes on display looked brown, stodgy and unappetising so we decided to go for the sticky toffee pudding.We were asked if we would like them warmed and if we wanted cream we had to pay extra. The tea and puddings came immediately, the waitress literally dumped the tray on the table. One cup and the one strainer was covered in loose dry tea. The sticky toffee puddings looked as unappetising as the cakes at the counter. The puddings had barely been warmed and they were dry. The sauce was watery and meagre. The pudding instead of tasting of caramel/toffee tasted of ginger and contained huge half walnuts pieces. There was not a glimmer of the sticky toffee in the cake or in the two teaspoonfuls of watery sauce. I had to leave mine as I found it so inedible. Also, the milk jug was dirty. The only saving grace was the loose teas and the cafe itself is such a lovely space to sit and watch the world go by. I paid £19.00, for two teas and two inedible puddings....sadly, we will not be going back.

Looks inviting from the outside but a bit disappointing overall in terms of atmosphere and only one toilet! The staff are friendly and the coffee was ok. We had a full veggie breakfast which was not worth the money to be honest. Too much salt, too much oil, a barely fried egg and cold toast. Maybe the lunches are better but not impressed with the breakfast we ate.

Lovely place for coffee and lunch. Dogs welcome which is a bonus. Very friendly staff who were helpful and provided great service. It was busy so we did have to wait 10 minutes for a space. Coffee was great and they had lots of food options. A little on the pricey side (£10 for a toasties, salad and slaw) but the food was substantial and delicious. Would recommend.

friendly service and a lovely building and atmosphere. But..truly awful soup. whoever made the soup didn't taste it and if they did, someone else should have felt the texture and no taste/runny green . It was spinach and cabbage, which on reflection might have been a warning. it cost over 8 pounds with supermarket spliced bread, and we all struggled to eat it and spoke about it all afternoon. we didn't say anything as the staff were young and lovely but I will think twice before returning .

We always use this cafe for coffee when we visit my mother who is in a care home in Street. The cafe was very busy on Saturday as it was the Christmas Fair, so we were not sure of a table being available. The staff member as soon as she saw mum's wheelchair said she couldn't accommodate us due to health and safely as the wheelchair could block access. Two very kind customers offered us their 4 seater table as they were ready to leave. I explained to the staff member that the wheelchair folded down and mum can use a chair to sit in but was told it wasn't possible. Rather than argue we left along with two other customers who were in the queue behind us. They had overheard the conversation and said based on the staff members poor attitude they would rather go elsewhere . Very disappointing.

Not as good as usual today. Our coffee was plonked, heavily, onto the table with no offer to clean the saucer/spill. Realistically, that's only one member of staff, but my almond croissant was stodgy and cold.

Friendly place with lovely cakes! Great service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend

Poor service, waitress didn’t tell us they’d be a wait for food as only 1 chief. Waited 50mins for food, no one informed us of wait time or gave apologies. When food arrived it was very mediocre, undercooked jacket potatoes, uninteresting salad, no dressing, refried beans were watery tomatoes with few mixed beans, probably from tin. Very disappointing lunch, grim experience all round.

Our visit for breakfast this morning was relaxing with good food served. The triple stack i had was both well presented and the food cooked just right with lots of flavours. My wife had toast and honey and again just right. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast (only here this morning) but the food menu looks a good selection. Plus the staff were friendly, chatty and helpful. Hopefully the cafe continues to be successful. Well done and thank you Hundred Monkeys Cafe.

Superb toastie and coffee. Dog friendly too.

Yum yum yum Great value for the money

We drank something called a cuddle, was really nice. Spot on name for something which did indeed feel like a cuddle, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

I’ve dined here several times before and was excited to introduce my sister, however the staff were unfriendly, to the point of being smug, the atmosphere was unfriendly and extremely noisy. I was curious how such a lovely place could become so chalk and cheese, and upon talking to locals got my answer - Under new management’. They are trading on a good reputation, it will be interesting to see where they are in 6 months. I wouldn’t recommend.

I had such a lovely lunch in here last week, can highly recommend

Super friendly staff, excellent food, and the best coffee ever

Perplexed by the reviews and how busy this place is given how poor the food quality was. I wouldn’t say the prices were outrageous, but I would absolutely expect a higher standard for what we paid. Salad was clearly out of a bag and way past it’s best; leaves were stale/brown on the ends. The burger was dry and unseasoned, the bun was awful - it did not present well at all. Potato salad dry. Overpriced baked potato was totally crucified, blackened to a crisp. Gross! The soup of the day looked ok. Toilet had the remnants of hand soap that was watered down to extend its life. Shame as it looks a nice place from the outside. Might be ok for coffee and cake - but I wouldn’t risk it as lunch was so terrible. I would have complained had my elderly parents not been there - simply didn’t want to create a scene on our family day out.

Otherise pleasant experience marred by rather abrasive, curt server who appeared to be in charge. Other customers similarly treated

A great place for food and a chat.

What a wonderful surprise on our 1st visit to Glastonbury. Food was delicious and service great.

Waiters are rude. Not paying attention and really stressed.

What a Wonderful cafe. Place looked great & so inviting. Was quirky! Had a great range of food on the menu and plenty for vegans!! Cakes were amazing too! All hand made. Food was delicious & staff were so friendly!

The location is nice, you can reach it easily ... The service was not what we expect ... The order of my friend has been forgotten and I have got my cake after half an hour ... The waiter was not welcoming any comment....

tbh really quite disappointed. The menu on the website bore no relation to what was available. We checked with the waitress who said it had been out of date for ages - why not update it? My wife’s mezze was billed as having naan bread - instead it was dry and unwarmed pitta bread. The salad with my humous was basically a small garnish, that was largely iceberg lettuce. The olives served with both of our platters were very salty. Whilst nicely presented, we thought it somewhat overpriced. Our waitress - who was very pleasant- did apologise for our disappointment, and hoped it wouldn’t put us off returning. Sadly though, it has.

If you like vegetarian or vegan food or wish to support an ecologically friendly business this is an excellent restaurant. The service is good though I think we were forgotten at one point but not surprisingly as it was very busy. It has a rustic atmosphere and is not "posh".

Good breakfast and service. Vegan and vegetarian options, great baking goods

I had lunch here, I had the beef burrito and it was lovely. It was very busy when I went but the service was very good, friendly and they warned me there would be a wait - which wasn't too long.

We did not actually order because of the way we were treated by the lady who was on the front of house. She was abrupt and abrasive. We saw an older couple with Soup who waited for ages for a spoon. There was no warmth or hospitality so we left. We will never go back.

Arrived and waited for 5 minutes as the sign instructed, no one acknowledged us or greeted us, I then asked if we could sit down and a member of staff said to ‘wait like the sign says’, were were then seated We waited 10 minutes then went to order to be told to sit down as it was table service We ordered bread and olive oil, lemonade, blondie and a coffee. We were given two slices off bread (super market) and a tiny pot of oil, the rest of the order then came 20 minutes later Rude manager, rude staff and poor food

AWFUL!! Woman in there was soooo rude! Refused to seat us, shouting and being rude to other customers! Would not recommend! Went to blue note instead and that was 10/10

A truly awful experience when we popped in for tea and cakes around 3.30 on the afternoon of Wed 26 August. I guess we should have been concerned when we encountered several people walking out as we approached, who advised us, "Hell-hole. Rude and have waited half an hour now; they just can't be bothered to serve us." But we'd been before and it had been fine, so we persevered. There were plenty of empty tables, but no-one approached us to seat us (yet the notice said we should wait to be seated) so in the end we just sat down at a table. We were approached by a surly waitress who told us we'd have to wait a 'lot longer' as they were 'busy' (though in fact, they didn't look it; three waitresses were in a huddle, looking at a phone). Another 10 minutes elapsed before another sullen misery approached us and the order was taken. When asked what kind of milk I'd like with my tea, I asked for 'semi-skimmed, please'. She said sulkily, 'We have COW'S MILK and a few other other types, ONLY. So, what do you want?" (!!!) A lot more time elapsed before the tea and 'cow's milk' came. Bang bang went the tea things; not a smile, nothing. Meanwhile, two other sets of folk nearby got up and left; tired of waiting for their order to be taken. What a sad decline in what used to be a peaceful, relaxing haven on a busy afternoon. Given the praise in other reviews, I have to conclude different staff were on duty. Whatever... never again, alas.

Just wanted a coffee but couldn't resist the cakes. Food looked great with lots of veggie and vegan options.

Really nice good food relaxed atmosphere 👍

Great choice of drinks and food - lovely staff - Somerset Apple Cake is amazing

Called in for coffee during our day trip to Glastonbury. Plenty of choices with both food and drinks. Ordered two coffees and a couple of cakes - all perfect. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend the Somerset Apple Cake - very nice indeed.

Best café in Glastonbury. Fab local produce

We were seated and served very quickly and cheerfully. Delicious coffee and the most excellent “cruffins” we have ever tasted. Would most definately come again!

Spent a day in Glastonbury despite being advised not to as our trip coincided with the annual music festival. Decided to stop for drinks and cake after the many crystal/magic shops. Menu choices were good and the display of foods on offered clean and tempting....

Excellent food and good allergy signposting.

Stopped in as they had vegan option, had vegan sausage bap, it was OK. Pretty busy, but dog friendly.

Good cake. I think we arrived just after a big rush as they had sold out of a lot of items.

Visited twice during our visit service was very good and pastries were amazing. Will be back on oue next visit to Glastonbury.

Lovely, clean cafe. Incredible coffee, amazing food and baked goods. Shoutout to Daisy for being a delight and creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere in the restaurant. 💛☀️

Beware the side salad. They have a very small menu and didn't even have some of the items on it. The side salad was £4 and came in the tiniest bowl I've ever seen. It consisted of just iceberg lettuce. Probably less than a single leaf cut up. No other salad stuff at all and the iceberg was brown at the edged. My husband had the bagle and said it was tasty enough, but I certainly won't be going there again.

Lovely homemade hummus baked potato and most amazing mocha and chocolate choux bun. Friendly staff

Change of management have changed the vibe…this was my go to in Glasto and it is not what it was. They have got rid of the Vegan Chocolate cake…my favourite and was the best in the town and, most annoyingly, started charging for OAT MILK….this is Glastonbury, so perhaps more people drink non dairy milk and thus more profit!? I will try one more time to see if they improve, if not, they’ve lost a loyal customer.

There was a warm, smiley welcome as we walked through the door on Saturday afternoon. The tea (Assam) was perfect as were the Date ‘n’ Oat Bar and Scone with Cream, Jam AND Butter (you MUST have butter!) We just sat and chatted. The staff...

We are not local and this is our go to place when we visit Glastonbury. Never disappointed. Great range of herbal teas, eats and a good selection of vegan cakes. Reasonable prices. Good portion size and quality ingredients. We had the chicken special which we...

We stopped here with our teenage boys for cake and coffee. The staff were welcoming, good service and the cakes were delicious.

Came in as a group of seven and served with lovely tea and cakes. Our adult children arrived and were about to be sat down and then turned away. Told the cafe was closing and take away one and yet then we watched as multiple...

We stopped here after lunch in the town for coffee & cake. The service was super friendly & genuinely warm. We were quickly seated & our food & drinks arrived quickly. Quite a spacious restaurant with lots of hot options. Coffees were good & cakes...

Food is fine but the pricing is in rip off territory. soup of the day, six quid. normally you get a piece of bread/butter with soup of the day but not here. bread and olive oil/Balsamic dip. is another three quid. Artisan bread? nope, a single slice of toasted multiseed sliced pan from the co-op. So nine quid for a very small portion of soup and a slice of supermarket bread. Reliant on single visit tourists I guess.

Called in on a snowy day for a warm up. Chose the Cheese Scone and a Latte. Scone was lovely and warm and the butter melted over it. The latte was good tasting and at a good temperature.

Terrible service, rude staff and food was awful. Avoid and find somewhere better. It's a shame really as this place used to be good

Firstly we were told to wait outside as standing in front of the door was a fire risk. Fair enough, but it was very cold and staff seemed disinterested. We sat down and ordered food and then we went to the toilets, when walking back...

This used to be my first stop when visiting Glastonbury, it used to be buzzing with tourists and locals, but it's lost its mojo. Was there for breakfast at 10. The place was cold and empty, also no background music so zero atmosphere. The food and coffee are fine, but there are warmer, more welcoming options nearby. I hope it improves..

Sadly not a great experience. The food wasn’t particularly tasty. Not good options for kids (no kids menu / had to buy adult portions). The service was also slow. It took 20mins for our dessert to arrive. Wouldn’t re-visit.

First impressions were great but after we sat down that changed, teenage girls serving that didn't seem to know what they were doing. Was only told an item ordered wasn't available when I enquired about our original order then charged price of original item. No cutlery provided and waitresses didn't seem to care too much. No salad with items that should have had salad and no butter with scones. Only gave 2 stars due to the range of gluten free items. Better off buying food from burns the bread and finding a bench, even in winter. Definitely not the service I'm used to in this part of the country.

Excellent service and excellent food

We popped in for tea and cake a few weeks back and loved it all so we decided to come in again today. Ya know, check it wasn’t a fluke. It was not. This place delivers excellent food and drinks coupled with fantastic service. It’s no wonder they are always busy! If you are asked to wait for a table I urge you to do so. It will be worth the wait. Well done dudes, keep up the great work.

Lovely cafe with plenty of seating inside and outside and very friendly staff. Good menu but could do with a bit more variety

So we had a very late lunch here and the place is great! My child was unimpressed with his and I agreed, so asked for a child's portion of the dish I was having instead - the lovely server arranged a new dish and it felt like my child was prioritised so we could all still eat at the same time! There will always be little things that don't quite work out, it is how the mistakes are rectified that counts, these guys excelled Bravo!!! And thank you 😊

Large restaurant with table service. I like the food there but my partner doesn't

The coffee was cold. It took ages to get served. Also nearly had an injury with all the uneven surfaces on the way to the loo. Asked for a mince pie and was told their version is treacle tart. Ordered this and the pastry was...

A bowl of carrot and coriander soup with sourdough bread roll washed down with a warm cuddle, warmed Oat milk,honey, spices and Rum!

Such awful first contact. Unwelcoming

Friendly , kind staff. Delicious food and drink. Nice warm fire on a frosty morning, great choice of food and drink

Dog friendly. Friendly welcome. Home cooked food was lovely. Black coffee, Black tea, panini, soup&roll £28.00 . It was a cold day and we were cold inside.

Coffee was ok,pizza was cold in the middle, sent it back to be warned up then it was rock hard,should of asked for the money back, won't be returning here .

Popped into this cafe yesterday - food and drink was okay. Had a nice atmosphere. Staff were attentive on arrival but was lacking by the end of my visit. Had good vegan range on menu but the vegan sausage was very small.

Nice place for a bite or coffee in Glastonbury with friendly staff.

Asked to go to the toilet. They said no ‘customers only’ it’s just really unhelpful my friend was bursting and there were no public ones nearby so being refused is just a pain. They were also a bit rude and we’ve had bad experiences on...

Lovely place with good food and very nice staff...

Visited at weekend. Will never visit again. Manager shouting and swearing at waiting staff in front of all the customers. Not acceptable behaviour.

Shadow of it's former self! Our two separate meals were very poor, food unappetising in both taste and presentation. Mine was the stew, off the menu for the day, it came more as a broth with a very large bay leaf floating. It used to be a a very lively place, that has gone also.

Great food, plenty of choices for vegetarians and vegans. Lovely friendly people bringing it to your table. We loved it!

Lovely cosy cafe. Fair trade coffee and their take on it.explained on the blackboard. Decent leaf tea and delicious buttery croissant. The strawberry jam is delish. A little expensive overall, but worth it.

We had lunch here whilst on holiday in Glastonbury. The food was really nice and the staff really lovely. Couldn't manage the cake we ordered after lunch. So we it was boxed up for us to take home. We had our dog, Daisy, with us....

Great friendly staff lush raspberry bakewell tart 😋

Awkward service, we sat down and was told someone would come over. 10 minutes later we went up to order as it seemed we’d been forgotten and got told to sit down. Cakes were really good though.

Polite and friendly. Good food and drink, quite a lot of choice, dog friendly! As with everywhere else, could do with more gluten free options. Not a criticism an observation!

I went in with a friend, as it looks like a charming little cafe (this was a couple of weeks ago) and I noticed a manager being quite rude and disinterested with a young girl -no older than 15. Honestly this hurt my heart, as...

Visited on a Sunday as part of a large group, with most being extremely disappointed for a number of reasons. It took 40 minutes before someone took our order (including the drinks order). Due to this long wait one of the mums in our group went to the till and asked if she could order one of the bakery products for her son who was extremely hungry and getting agitated - she was turned away and told someone would be over to take the order shortly. This situation could have been avoided if the staff had just given her the scone she'd been patiently waiting for over half an hour to order. When our food finally arrived one of the meals had been forgotten, with no one checking if everyone had got everything they'd ordered, again a very simple question that would have made everyone's experience far better. Food options for non vegans and vegetarians were extremely limited, with all the food overpriced, even shocking those of the group who live in London. The food was met with mixed reviews, with some not finishing their meal due to it either being cold, bland, or off in taste. When it came to paying, the machine asked if we wanted to pay a whopping 15, 18, or 20 percent tip! A very cheeky move, especially for overpriced food. The staff seemed pleasant, but non attentive. If in the area I'd avoid this place due to the high cost, slow service, and mediocre food

4 of us. Empty cafe. Drinks took an age to arrive & when I asked about them I was rudely told ‘yes I’m doing them now. 25 mins for two apperol, a G&T, milkshake & two teas is a bit much. Ordered the polenta, soup,...

Turmeric latte too weak like plain milk not enough turmeric. My friends vegan curry was deliciously aromatically spiced though.

Great food, friendly staff, a little slow but we weren't in a rush. We took the time to request and read a little blurb about the name of the shop, which was a nice addition to our time spent there, would recommend doing the same, this added a nice touch to our visit.

The food good, but when I queried something, the attitude of two of the staff was cold and harsh. Too business orientated for me, rather than customer orientated.

Ordered a bottled soft drink and a hummus plate Waited 45 minutes. Neither item turned up at all. Most of the tables were empty and staff just ignored us once we made our order. Eventually gave up and walked out. I told them we had...

A bit disappointed at the choice of cold drinks especially on such a hot day. Girl serving didnt seem that interested either so we ended up leaving without anything.

There were lots of staff but this led to confusion with our drink order being taken by someone different to the food order. Our drinks came and then our deserts were placed on the table which we'd asked to be bought out after our soup....
