Jubilee Gardens Cafe in West Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

During our stay in Minehead we went to the Jubliee Cafe on more than one occasion because we found the staff so welcoming and the food and drinks oh so good. There's a good choice on the menu and my wife's Gluten Free diet did not cause any problem whatsoever. Ample portions and reasonably priced. The toilet facilities were also very clean. Can certainly recommend.

Lovely spot on the terrace overlooking the beach. Had cream tea and 5 ice creams, really nice selection of flavours. Service was friendly and efficient too. First visit but not last.

Came here for a cup of tea and cake 🍰 on Saturday 15th June 2024 while on holiday l had a beautiful delicious cream tea and scone with jam and cream the scone was delicious staff friendly and helpful service very quick. After we had a game of crazy golf ⛳️ it was fun. Lovely tea room do recommend

Such a lovely place to have a cafe, but we were so disappointed to experience such miserable staff. The girl at the till was too busy chewing gum to take orders. The scones were barely defrosted in the middle. The kids breakfast was a good portion size. Prices very steep for what you get. Extra star given for mini golf or it would have been one. If you are going for the golf and views then ok but if for service don’t bother.

Food ok. Toilets disgusting, floor wet and smelly. No toilet roll or soap in the ladies, I asked a staff member for these to be provided and waited but nothing came. I know they were busy but this is basic hygiene and can’t be ignored.

Had a morning hot chocolate in this very welcoming cafe. A great menu all reasonably priced with very attentive service. Dogs are welcome with special dogs goodies.

Popped in here while the younger ones in our party where in the arcades.Must say staff where friendly and place was clean and we had a nice cup of tea and just watched the world go by.Nice and relaxing!

Brilliant birthday afternoon tea party Food was excellent , with 50/60's music playing in the background .. family friends and dogs all having a wonderful time Thank you Mel & staff for making it very special for me Thank you for the lovely doggie birthday cake you made for Prince's 1st birthday Love Jubilee Cafe & can highly recommend

We stopped for 2 takeaway cuppas before heading out on a Land Rover event. They kindly filled my flask with hot water as I totally forgot to do it. The staff all were very friendly. I had a sneak peak at the menu and will definitely come back for food. The cafe is dog friendly which is a bonus. Thank you again.

Visited 3 times in our week at Minehead, all the staff were friendly, and nice coffees. Fun crazy golf and my 4 year old loved it.

We visited for lunch and a bit of crazy Golf. The Golf is alright at £3.50 each. The food is poor. I had the Tuna Mayo Sandwich and while presented nicely with a side salad and coleslaw there was more butter in my sandwich than Tuna. My Wife has the goats cheese toastie to find it had hardly any goats cheese and no onion marmalade. While the food is not dreadful it does not represent good value for money at all.Would visit again for Golf my maybe avoid eating.

We visited Minehead and decided to try the jubilee cafe as they allow dogs and had jacket potatoes on the menu. We decided to try it for lunch. Our son has multiple severe allergies and potato is one of only a few things he can have. The staff were brilliant, so good we came back a day later for an all day breakfast. Our son had the same, plain jacket potato with cucumber and our dog had another ‘doggy cake’ and a fresh bowl of water.Thank you!!!

Waited over 5 minutes at the counter with my husband, only for us to be completely ignored by the staff and what looked like the owner or manager. Didn’t even acknowledge us, to be polite. The cafe was not busy so no need for the rude service. My husband and I finally got fed up and walked out and found a lovely little cafe further up the road with lovely customer service!

Had a lovely time playing crazy golf with my family, got 3 hole in ones. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Enjoyed playing crazy golf. Some of the holes were challenging but you can still do it. Cheap as well. Well worth a visit if your passing

We often sit in this park on a hot day you can find a bench under the shade of the trees and watch the world go by.On a Sunday there is usually a band playing at 2 O'Clock which us mist enjoyable

We had fish and chips - we have had better but it looked like the cafe had recently been taken over by a new owner so no doubt that will improve. Great pot of tea, and very welcoming.

Now owners took over a few months back wow what a change all for the better Mel and her team really know what customer service means

Well situated on the sea front and with both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was prepared to order by friendly staff. It was relatively quiet when we visited and I suspect it may get very crowded in high season. I thoroughly in enjoyed my very tasty sausage bap and my wife had an excellent sandwich. The cafe is under new management so ignore some of the older reviews which are no longer relevant. The one thing which still needs modernisation is the toilet facilities.

Welcomed by a great smile and served amazing food. Well worth a visit. You will enjoy the atmosphere and the breakfast tasted delicious.

A lovely sunny spot on the sea front in Minehead. Super dog friendly, they even sell cupcakes for pups! I had a scone which was divine and my partner had carrot cake, he was tempted to go for seconds! It's recently under new management and they've really given this lovely spot a new lease of life. They're particularly community centred as well which is lovely to see!

It was a hot day and a long queue at the ice cream window but service was quick. At our turn we asked for four cones and one in a carton (or whatever those paper dishes are called). There was a really wide range of flavours. Our choice included chocolate, bubblegum, choc-mint and rhubarb & custard. They were all delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Just what you want at the seaside. Cost £11-something.

What a great place you & your dog can be sure of a warm welcome from Mel & her staff My 15 week old Shih Tzu loved the doggie ice cream , the doggie cupcakes were going down a treat with some of the other dogs there too

Great place by the beech, good service, good food and drinks,. Reasnable priced, very freindly staff. also nice for the children is the mini golf course, keeps the amussed for a while.

I’d seen the cafe had been taken over so thought I’d give it a try.

Called in for hot chocolate which was very good, dogs thought the doggy cupcakes were great! Will be back to sample more food next time we are in Minehead.

This is a very light airy place right on the sea front next to crazy golf. Took a while for food to arrive but it was fine. Seems good for breakfast and £3.50 gets you a bacon or sausage bap. Coffee was not good - would have tea next time.

3 full English breakfast s and tea and coffees . Very chilled out next to the sea defo worth a visit . Mini golf at the front for the kids and adults . Nice service with a smile 😊

Good food at reasonable prices! But the best thing - sitting outside in a pleasant gardens. Kids will like here too, because they can scamper around in complete safety while you enjoy a leisurely break.

after a 10 mile stroll we desperately needed a cream tea and a decent cuppa, the jubilee served it up in spades, create cream tea lovely service and good views

This is an old fashioned sea front cafe; if your expecting eggs Benedictine’s or smoked salmon bagels it’s not for you but if your after the type of seaside cafe that’s serves full English, baguettes with salad, ice creams or the usual British cafe fare this place ticks the box. We had full English and tuna baguette, no complaints, great salad with the baguette..

A big thank you to Val Pickard at the Jubilee Garden Cafe.

On a day trip to Minehead the children wanted to play crazy golf. So my husband and I sat to have a drink while they played. When ordering a hot chocolate I was asked in a very grumpy manner if that was it. The hot chocolate itself was fairly cold, watery and over priced. Such a shame as this is a great spot and could be a great business. As it is at the moment it’s the best place to avoid!!!

We visited to play crazy golf. The sign on the unmanned hut said to pay in the cafe. We picked up three clubs and I went to pay in the cafe assuming we would be given golf balls and score card in there. I was given a post it note and returned to the hut to find that the clubs had been abruptly taken off my husband and son. They were returned to us with balls after handing the post it note over. This kind of set the scene. Maybe the hut should be permanently manned in the summer holidays to avoid such misunderstandings or maybe the signage should be clearer. Despite this after finishing our game we stayed for a drink. Two diet cokes and a bottle of water came to £3.80 and we weren’t even offered glasses. We won’t be returning.

nice to know that their are still places like this still around food and coffef great set in nice parklands beutiful settings

This is such a lovely cafe. The staff are lovely and friendly, ice cream is amazing and very reasonably priced. The cafe itself is beautifully set out and very traditional. Crazy golf is great fun for the whole family. We just love this place

Currently doing a charity walk around the UK. It's one of the hottest days on record - I asked if they would fill up my water canteen, to which the asked if I'd bought anything, I had not and as such, I was told to go elsewhere. On my tour so far of the UK, they are only the second person to ever refuse me a refill of tap water.

After a busy few days away, myself and a family member found this lovely little café, very near the beach, the décor had a traditional feel to it, all clean and tidy, we spent a good morning eating ice-cream and playing on there Crazy Golf (£2.50 for adults). The general menu prices appeared standard for the area, with good size portions, Will be doing a return trip when next in the area.

This is ok for a quick drink and snack, and reasonably priced, but the menu is a bit limited and uninspiring

Rude staff with zero customer service. Much nicer places to visit in minehead. This venue should be avoided if you want a pleasant day out.

was a little overpriced for your average cafe foods served by some rude owner who has clearly been there to long to care about their customers anymore

Overpriced mediocre food served with a side order of rude customer service. Not particularly clean either. Although a regular visitor to Minehead this was our first experience of the Jubilee gardens cafe and will be our last, especially with so many better places nearby

Great place for a lovely cuppa and a slice of homemade cake in a beautiful setting. Very much like a 1940s/50s cafe with lovely friendly staff

3 grumpy, unfriendly women serving: I asked one unsmiling for an extra cup because my dad has end stage mouth cancer found the coffee he had been served was too hot. The po-faced obstinate woman said "no, we don't give out empty mugs". I explained my dad found the coffee too hot and this resulted in a major conflab between her and another snippy, discurteous woman about whether they should or shouldn't give us another mug for my dad to pour some out. Eventually they did and I asked for some more milk for him, the first irascible, churlish woman snatched the jug from my hand, half-filled it and jabbed it back at me. I offered to pay for the milk if she was unhappy to give it to me, to which she grumpily replied "No!". We finished our drinks, which had been soured by the morose faces of the women serving us and stood up to leave. As we did this the 3rd dour woman pushed infront of us to start clearing our table before we'd even managed to move away from the chairs.

Such rude members of staff. All we wanted was use the toilet and play crazy golf. What we did get in return was attitude and all just because we used the toilet before playing the golf. Would certainly not recommend anyone to visit them.

a good spot for a hot snack , good chips toasted sandwiches and tea . Often frequented by friends who live in Minehead so that for me speaks volumes

Popped in for a coffee as we were walking up off the beach and this was the first cafe we came across. Service was awful. Uninterested staff that make you feel like it's a chore serving you. (It's what you get paid for!) would never return. There's a number of lovely looking cafes further up on the main high street so if you happen to do what we did and come straight up from the beach looking for a drink, keep on walking!

We were walking along the promenade after arriving on the steam train. The men wanted cake so we popped into the cafe, between us, we had lemon cake, coffee and walnut, carrot cake and scones. Lovely that they did decaf tea as well. popular and looking at the late morning cooked breakfasts some had, good value on them too. defiantely a place to eat.

The food was okay, but the staff were very rude. So rude in fact that it was almost funny. They clearly did not want to be interrupted by having to deal with customers. Such a shame as a great location on the sea front.

I visited with my family for lunch the food was ok afterwards I went to get a drink and they said get it yourself I'm not your slave (I now wish I said that "well I'm paying so much that you could retire soon) the woman then went to go and serve all the other customers just to spite me she then told me to give her the money I walked back to my family and told them what had happened we left after we had our drinks and no tip looking back I wish I had left a note explained why we hadn't left a tip saying that "this place is so bad you might as well be tipping us" long story short, before you go in their please familiarise yourself with all the exits keeping in mind that the nearest exit may be behind you, where you came in if so save yourself an d walk out in fact run, sprint until your safe,

Tea and coffee were fine. But later we wanted to play crazy golf. There was a massive queue for food so I thought I would ask other lady about paying for golf as we had seen her get equipment out of the shed for other people. I was told to pay at the till. Lady at till asked me if I wanted to use the loo. I said I was wanting to play golf. She told me to wait there whilst she finished serving a customer. When she had finished serving a customer she said very loudly "Does anyone else want to play golf as well as this person (me) who is too rude to queue"

Granted the food is tasty but it does work out expensive, got a coffee to take away but when I took the lid off there was only half a cup. Unless you want a sandwich or a toastie then go across the road to the Seaview takeaway, same food, fraction of the price and a full cup of coffee plus happy, friendly staff. Toilets are now 50p a go (up from 20p last year) and the "keeper of the keys" keeps a beedy eye to make sure no one sneeks in telling a family of 5 they each had to pay. Bit tight fisted when youve spent a fortune on food/drinks for the beach. Walk 5 mins across road to public toilets in the park which were spotless and free. Staff really are rude to Customers as though every Customer is wrong and an inconvenience, witnessed people cancelling their order and walking out. Raking it in from the tired looking crazy golf you would think it would put a smile on the owners face but no. With so many other places to choose from its a wonder this place is still open.

We went to this cafe to get a drink. The tea and coffee were ok, but the staff are really rude, unfriendly and as such I won't be going back. After enduring a queue to get the drinks, which took some time, and comments about what we were ordering, we decided to have a go at the crazy golf. The sign said to go into the cafe to pay if there was no one at the kiosk. So back inside, and then more unpleasant comments, as apparently it was rather impatient to go into the cafe to do the golf!! So I then took a look round.. ALL the signs about the place are negative (see the pictures) or warnings... AND they charge 50p for the loo!!! It's a wonder this place stays in business.

No idea as to the quality of the food and drink as we got so bored waiting in the queue, we gave up. It surely can't take *that* long to serve a family of four in front, and then take our money?!?

Excellent for a coffee and a catch up with friends or an ice cream with the family. A game of golf too. Friendly staff.

Food is OK, staff OK, but why do they charge you to use the loo when you are already a paying customer? It isn't right.

Have visited this cafe several times over the past few years with no problems,had read negative comments about rude staff so I always send my partner to the counter as I won't take any nonsense..while I was visiting last year a middle aged couple walked away in a huff all I heard was raised voices.had no problems 2 weeks ago while on holiday and had the best mug of tea while sitting in the sun.will visit next year.

We arrived at the cafe using the outside wheelchair access, the sign outside the cafe said mobility scooters and pushchairs were not to be taken inside so I asked if I could bring a wheelchair in. The reluctant reply was not much more than a nod and far from being a welcome to us. I was not able to get the wheelchair through the single door that was open and so tried to unbolt the second door, the bolts seemed to be stuck and I couldn't move them and since there was no offer of help from staff we just had to walk away. The cafe was not busy, there was only one customer drinking coffee. We will not be able to go to this cafe again.

Cafe on the sea front with a crazy golf situated outside. Seating area indoors and outside. Clean and tidy inside and out. Wheelchair access via a ramp. Serves hot and cold food. Also ice creams. We had a cream tea which was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful.

All we wanted was two cups of coffee but all the lady serving wanted a argument.When I ordered the drinks it was my fault for not ordering them the right.So when I read of the menu what I wanted word by word that was wrong.When we get it right I was wrong for changing my mind on the strength of my coffee.I work in customer service the lady who served me should not as she spoiled the start of my day

What a rude lady serving she tried to say everything was our fault won't be going back if it wasn't for our grand daughter wanting to play crazy golf we would not have stayed for the coffee we had as it took 20 minutes to be served

We stopped here today.I could see that the lady was rushed off her feet. But she was still spending time chatting with you as you order.The food was very nice.Not overpriced. Would return and recommend to other people.

We stopped off at this cafe on our way home from a lovely week in Woolacombe. After finding a table for the 5 of us (4 adults and 1 child) we perused the menu deciding what to have for lunch. A lovely couple came in whilst we were sat there with their very well behaved and friendly terrier. My Daughter loves dogs do asked if she could say hello, they were perfectly happy for her to do so and their lovely dog enjoyed the fuss. They then sat at a table very close to the door and started to look at the menu. After a few minutes the lady behind the counter pipes up that dogs were not allowed. Now, of course it is entirely your choice whether you allow animals into your establishment, however it was the rude and dismissive manner of the woman behind the counter. Quite rightly the couple pointed out that there were lots of places that are happy too allow animals so off they went. The lady behind the counter continued to mutter about them after they had left. I noticed on walking up to the door that there was a bowl of water outside for dogs so it is not obvious that they are not allowed inside, also surely they could have sat outside? But, this was never suggested. I needed to use the toilet so left the rest of my group deciding on food and waited patiently at the counter for the woman to come back. Eventually she reappeared and I politely asked her if there was a toilet, to which she growled was I drinking anything or eating anything there? Now, considering that the only other customers in the place was a couple just across from us that had already been served you would think she would have noticed us taking up 3 two seater tables. I replied that yes, we were sat on the the tables and about to order. She very defensively stated that the owner says she has to ask, to which I pointed out that there is a way of asking without being rude. She then accused me of being rude so I promptly told my party that we were not eating there and that we would find another cafe. So in the short period that we were in the basically empty cafe, the dragon behind the counter had managed to scare off 6 adults and a child, all there to eat and drink. I will never step foot in that place again and certainly would not recommend the experience to anyone!

We stopped for a drink and to use the conveniences. I was charged 50p to use the gents! When I returned to my seat my wife had bought me a coffee that was little more than hot water with very little coffee added. In our opinion there are a lot better places to eat and drink nearby.

Arrived starving, left stuffed. Lovely fresh food and very decent portions including kids meals. Staff were lovely, My 2 year old son fell asleep, they offered to tray his food up to warm up later. Not sure what place some of these reviewers visited???? Lovely Lovely place and the staff always happy to help

Went here with very clean boots as part of a party of 5. Café was only half full. We were about to go walking, but all our kit was clean, straight out the car. Our intention was to order a light lunch. Our friends had a small dog; out of courtesy they asked if dogs were allowed, the answer was quite terse "Oh! No, you will have to sit outside, and then, and certainly not with that kind of dog, a spaniel, Oh and you all have dirty boots no! no! We did not have dirty boots. We left. We walked along the sea front and to our luck found another much more hospitable establishment. Never ever had such treatment from someone managing a café, we are polite respecting people. It was the body language and tone of voice, there are many polite ways of saying sorry we can't accommodate you because ....and maybe even recommending an alternative nearby.. I respect places that have a no dog policy that's fine, but no need to be rude. This is the most critical review I have ever needed to write.

I have never met such a rude woman before .We had arrived in Minehead to begin walking with a friend who is walking the south West coastal path in aid of Macmillan cancer support in memory of his wife and our dear friend.We decided to go to the cafe for a coffee but had a dog with us .We asked if the dog was allowed in and she said that it wasn't dog friendly which was fair enough.We turned to leave only to be told that we wouldn't have been welcome any way because we had walking boots on which at that point were clean. She obviously isn't a people friendly person either.Needless to say I can't recommend this place

Absolutely awful. Rude staff, completely ruined our afternoon. Shouting at customers, complaining openly. Would not even let paying customers use the toilet. BEWARE.

The woman serving behind the counter was extremely rude. Only came here because, being Easter Sunday our normal cafe was closed. Will never be coming here again!!!!

Decided to call in for coffee and cake after a long walk, I decided to have a coffee and a scone, my partner decided on hot chocolate and a piece of lemon sponge lovely cake and the scone was served warm which was nice but oh dear I think the staff must have been having a bad day no smile or even any conversation, and when my partner returned the tray and cups, not even a thank you, barely looked our way such a shame a smile and a thank you can go a long way

Didn't get to enjoy a coffee here as was made to feel very unwelcome. Don't bother visiting if you are wearing walking boots or have a dog!

Miserable rude staff, my son was using the toilets before we ordered , 50p to use facilities which I didn't mind but the light didn't work so I held the door open for him as he's five the older staff member came out asking me to shut door , I tried to explain my 5 year old was in there and light didn't work she got very aggressive and rude demanding I shut the door I refused as I only held it open to let a little light in it wasn't like he was on full view , she left and was followed by another old woman demanding that it all worked and I must shut the door and the light worked , I did to keep the peace and my wife was with him but she carried on being vile and rude , these people must just survive off the location and first time visitors or suckers as I have never been so shocked at an attitude to something so petty as letting light into a loo , reading reviews on here I can only imagine there the miserable owners and hopefully in busy season they hire decent staff ,

We have been using the cafe for more than 2 years years now at least once a month & whatever was was chosen from the menu has been well cooked, excellently presented & a first class friendly service. We had used many other establishments prior to this one & none compare for price & quality of food & service, admittedly it can get a bit busy summer/holiday times but that just proves quality. (no one eats in pub with an empty car park). You will most probably find that the ones who complain are not wanted by an establishment in the first place. 5 star all round.

Best little café in town,excellent food and service.Been using it for several years now as we often travel on the West Soerset Railway to Minehead, never had a bad experience yet and will continue to frequent it.

NO customer service, rude, argumentative staff, food that was clearly not fresh would not recommend this place to anyone and in fact as leaving told people thinking of going in to not bother, can't begin to explain how terrible it is in every respect!

The staff here need training in customer service, very rude to customers. Signs bark orders! Food not very fresh..and only play the crazy golf if your children don't want to have any fun! Awful experience

We wanted to play crazy golf. At this time of year the kiosk is closed so you have to pay in the cafe. We went in to pay. As we went in some other people were collecting golf clubs so I said to my husband, "We can go there now." The woman behind the counter shouted, "You still have to pay here!" I went up to the counter and put my bag down to find my purse. I was then told my the same lady to wait over there by the sign. It said, please queue here. I had not seen the sign. I said, "I am just going to be a minute." only to be told, "You are in the way. This lady cannot reach the sugar etc. Clearly the woman did not want our custom, so we walked out and did not play golf that day!

We had been coming here on our twice yearly holiday for years and previously had good service. We have always had the owner say bring in your two small dogs. As we entered there were no signs saying no dogs. I was shouted at as I entered no dog's. No reason why policy had changed on way out another couple said they had same happen would never go back

We visited the gardens after a trip on the West Somerset Raikway, which is a must if you are in the area. The gardens were clean and tidy and provided an view of the sea and beach.There are plenty of seats around the gardens, which is also served by a cafe and crazy golf course. It was the end of the season for the flower beds but I can imagine they looked good in season. Worth a visit.

First time we visited it was very good, the staff were very helpful .found some fresh water for our dog. The food was very good they took cards. The second time it was busy the dog was looking for a drink the water bowl was empty I approached a staff member who was collecting Items from the table, I asked very politely when she has a minute could we have some water for the dog as the water bowl was empty.She arrived with two jugs of water looked at the water bowl and stated there was water in the bowl, It was filthy .It was said in a loud voice. My wife arrived and stated they did not take cards.With that and the dogs water we left other people commented on the bad service.

My wife and I have visited this cafe on several occasions and have always found it satisfactory if not outstanding. However on this occasion we were disappointed. The woman who was taking orders was very off hand and abrupt with no empathy with her customers who are literally her bread and butter! Never a smile. This filtered down to the rest of the staff seemed cowed by her manner.We ordered fish and chips, a cottage pie and a pot of tea. My wife did not finish her cottage pie which she described as "tasting synthetic." My fish was ok but our chips were obviously oven chips and were dry and cardboard. Our tea did not arrive with our meals as requested but eventually had to be fetched when our meals were almost finished.The next time we visit Minehead we shall probably "test the waters" before we order!

A BIT OF BALANCE REQUIREDI rarely comment on TripAdvisor, but I feel obliged to do so given the extremely inaccurate comments made under the heading “Told to call police for a refund! AVOID!” , not least because my wife and I have eaten at the Jubilee Café on numerous occasions and have always found the food to represent very good value; a basic menu but with good quality food, and the service has always been friendly.I was actually in the café when the above incident took place and although I didn’t see the food about which the original comment was made, the fact that the composition of the meal was not as expected did not give grounds for it to be described as “slop”.And I’m afraid that I didn’t hear any shouting, at least, not by the staff!What I DID witness however, as I was placing my own order was the unpleasantness, arrogance and sheer offensiveness of the “65 year old Dad” who marched up to the counter and demanded his money back because his daughter simply didn’t like her meal.Under the circumstances, the owner perfectly reasonably offered to give him his money back for the food that his daughter had decided that she didn’t like, even though there was basically nothing wrong with it, but that wasn’t enough for him, he wanted a refund for the other meals which whilst not actually served, had been cooked and were about to be served.The only shouting that I witnessed was by the gentleman(?) himself who aggressively demanded his money back. As for the comment regarding the police, the owner definitely didn’t say that if he wanted a refund in full that he would have to call the police, but rather that if he didn’t calm down and moderate his tone, she would have to call the police to get him removed because he was upsetting other customers.And I’m afraid that I didn’t witness a child “practically in tears” either.There is absolutely no excuse for being rude and offensiveness to anyone and treating well-intentioned staff in such a way was unforgivable and can only be explained, but certainly not justified, because the customers’ changed their minds and couldn’t get their own way…In my experience the Jubilee Gardens Café delivers exactly what we can reasonably expect from a ‘seafront café; a basic menu with good quality food, generous portions and at a realistic price… and you can play some Crazy Golf too 

Popped in for a cup of tea, dog friendly so we were able to sit in the sun rather than take away. Good, hot tea, service was a little lax though. One staff member messing with her phone, which isn't the best customer service...Would still pop in if passing, but wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

This is without a doubt the best full English breakfast to be had in Minehead. I should know I have tried all of them.

Having just arrived in Minehead on holiday with my dad and son we were all hungry and parked up to find this place by the beach. Seemed quaint enough, very dated but almost so dated I found it nostalgic. From the off set service was rude and atmosphere bad. I ordered a cheese leek and potato pie, I had imagined some form of homity pie, or a pastry crust on top of chunks of potato with a cheese and leek sauce, I wasn't expecting a fine dining experience, but what I received was terrible food. Simply two inches of melted cheddar in a pie dish sitting on a bed of curdled creamy sauce. In ediable. My dad took it to the counter. A few minutes later a lady (the owner/manager) came to our table with a distinct aggressive approach as I had complained, clearly taking it personally. Was most unprofessional how she dealt with my complaint, I simply would of liked to change my order, however the lady was incredibly rude to me, basically stating I was wrong to complain and made me feel threatened, so I bit back, I told her the food was not a pie, but slop. The lady clearly wasn't going to react well to this, would you if your "homemade food" was being called slop, but I had been made to feel so uneasy, that was my reaction. At this point the lady started shouting at me Infront of my six year old child, and all other customers. I tried to remind her I was the customer. And what a poor service this was. Who expects to go for lunch on their first day of a holiday with a their six year old son and 65 year old dad and feel threatened and get aggressively shouted at by the staff?!?! She offered a refund for mine, I requested a refund for all three meals after how she had spoke to me as none of us wished to stay after what had happened (by which point my son was practically in tears with the whole commotion) she refused a full refund, despite no food having been eaten. And told my dad If we wanted a full refund to call the police. At this point my son was scared and in tears as we left. Great start to our holiday! Despicable! Disgusting! Can't believe this place is surviving!

Ideal if you are down that end of beach, do take away foods (toasties, drinks etc) or can sit in. Decent choice on menu at reasonable prices. The gent that served us food/drinks for the beach was really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately soured by witnessing older female member of staff having a go at a lady with a disabled daughter who queried having to pay to use the toilet. "We all have to pay so why shouldn't you" said she as she polished the 20p sign and then proceeded to stand just inside cafe and watch to make sure no one snook in without paying. Really, there are ways to speak to people and no need to embarrass them in front of others.

The cafe is perfectly situated next to the beach and offers a nice range of lunch type foods and snacks. It's slightly soured however by the distinct impression that the staff really don't want to be there. It's difficult to raise a smile and you almost feel like an inconvenience. A shame.

Is it really necessary to embarrass a customer who simply asked for different milk when the customer felt the milk had curdled in her coffee?Surely the question of whether the milk had curdled or not is moot. Service a la Basil Fawlty is funny in retrospect but really uncomfortable) at the time; particularly special was the question to everyone else in there 'anyone also got a problem with their milk? No didn't think so' Highly recommended for comedy value for a pleasant tea experience, to be avoided at all costs.

This cafe is great we always eat here when we stay in minehead. The food is great quality cooked fresh and fairly priced. The staff are so friendly and it's just a pleasure to eat here

Lovely old fashioned cafe with great food and family service at sensible prices, an ideal place for a coffee , ice cream or snack. Lovely on a sunny day.

Only stopped for a coffee and scones, but the scones were warm and first class, coffe was tasty and a good temperature. Seating was comfortable, and the breakfasts served to others looked appetising. Very impressed with the service, one of our party is in a wheelchair and the owners helped with door, and made sure we had a good path to a table that was most suitable. I noticed a large party come in a bit later, and straight away they were moving tables and chairs to accommodate them. Menu looked attractive for a wholesome lunch.

We visited with our small children for lunch. Our boy had allergies they checked the food and he ended up having just a portion of chips. The portions were good the price was reasonable. The food was OK a nice selection a reasonable price served in good time. It was nothing special but nothing to complain about. You get what you pay for. I had a prawn jacket potato and my husband a fry up. It was a bit cramped and not very pushchair or wheelchair friendly. The woman behind the counter was not unwelcoming but wasn't overly friendly. Toilets are 20p make sure you have change particularly if you have a toddler who struggles to hold it while you fumble for change.

Visit this cafe when in Minehead, the breakfast is the best value in town and always up to the same standard. Coffee and hot chocolate are lovely. Friendly staff, always helpful.

Ice cream tasted sour after despite being heavily pregnant I was told by a very unfriendly staff member that I couldn't use the staff toilet (there is a sign on the wall saying can be used for 20p)... Not happy.

We have visited Minehead for many years, however for other than the odd ice cream or coffee, we have never actually eaten at this establishment.On our recent weekend at Butlins, our daughters suggested we should as they had frequented the café the day before and most enjoyed their main meals and 'cream teas'.So the following day we did with two of us having full English breakfasts (one being a vegetarian option) and I went for an egg bap.The meals were fresh very tasteful and we received polite yet somewhat 'quiet' service.Overall, I was somewhat impressed with this café and will certainly consider this place for a return visit next time we are in Minehead.

Called in for a light lunch which was very good value for money. There is a good range of reasonably priced snacks and full lunches and the cafe is obviously popular and very well situated close to the sea front in Minehead.

Lovely cafe and great prices for lunch also can choose from hot and cold food lovely people very friendly

Great English Breakfast. Busy cafe- nearly all of the indoor seats were being used. But a good fryup was served.

Situated right next to the beach, and opposite the West Somerset Railway.I ordered coffee and sat outside in the sunshine. Service was quick, and everything appeared clean and tidy. The man who served was pleasant.Mixed and varied menu, chips and mostly cafe food, with cakes etc. all reasonably priced. Some people were enjoying a break while their children played the crazy golf course. Handy next to the beach.

Visited this establishment today (mothers day) for cream teas. I have never been served by such a rude person in my life after rudely telling an elderly gentleman to queue in the correct place, she proceeded with my order 2 cream teas 1 fruit 1 plain,Order comes out 2 fruit.took one back to adress the problem was told rather brashly we don't have any plain ones. To which I enquired why was I not told this when I ordered and why just give me something I didn't order and take my money. After shouting to the kitchen it was decided they did have what I wanted and order was delivered to table my plain scone came out steaming as if had been taken out of the freezer and defrosted in the microwave. Whilst waiting for it to cool down another customer came in obviously a friend of this person and proceeded to have a loud conversation about having enough of complaining customers whilst looking at me making my wife and daughter very uncomfortable so we finished up and left and would never return. When rectifying my order she told me we all make mistakes and she is right it was a big mistake to go into this awful place. Avoid this place and walk a bit further towards the harbour and there are plenty of places my money would have been better spent and accepted with courteous service.
