Kitty Banks in Mendip

Trying to find somewhere in Wells to get afternoon tea was not easy but when we asked if Kitty Banks could do one as a birthday treat they were nothing but helpful. They prepared a table outdoors with cloth and flowers. When the food arrived it was something to behold. A selection of finger sandwiches (prawn, ham and tomato, cheese and pickle and that English staple of afternoon tea, classic cucumber sandwiches) served on both brown and white bread wire not a crust in sight.The selection of cakes was incredible. A fresh fruit scone with jam and cream along with, Bakewell tart, lemon drizzle, Victoria sandwich and chocolate shortbread. All this was served on a 3 tiered plate in classic afternoon tea style supported by pots of hot tea.Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I would highly recommend afternoon tea at here.

Lovely cream tea and friendly staff. Undercover seating outside to protect from the rain. Will visit again. Many thanks

Try the coffee and walnut, it's the best, lemon drizzle and almond slice are great too. Coffee is perfect. We had lunch there and highly recommend it. Helpful staff and a great location, perfect for a 'breather'. Dave Fareham

Nice location in Market Place with an attractive light lunch menu. We found a nice table outside and ordered a sandwich and ploughman’s (they had run out of quiche). Food was a good sized portion and tasty BUT it took over 30 minutes to arrive….and they didn’t have to cook anything. If I hadn’t paid in advance we may well have gone somewhere else

I was looking for a cafe to have a coffee and cake on my own and Kitty Banks is where I stopped, the coffee was lovely and I tried the lemon drizzle cake which was also lovely. I was made to feel very welcome, the owner and staff are very chatty and I will def be going back.

It’s was a nice sunny day in Wells my wife thought we would have a cheese and ham toastie and two cold drinks ,,outside , a nice cafe , in wells , the drinks came ok , but the toasties we waited for half an hour ,,,the owners don’t seem to care it seems to me as we are passing visiting trade it seems , we live miles away from wells Where we live We usually go to a couple of really care for customer places where they hire good staff with quick service , there’s so many poorly run cafes theses days And you want to go back if the service is good , so they’re missing out in the end

Kitty banks cafe is a cute little place in Wells. We came here for a small hot drink to warm ourselves up on a cold day. They came to our table very quickly and I ordered a Hot Chocolate, my sister ordered Mocha, and my dad ordered a Coffee. It literally took them about 25 minutes to just make 3 drinks! When we got the drinks (Finally!) the Hot Chocolate was nice I guess but way too sweet and I tried my sisters Mocha and guess what!, it tasted exactly the same as my hot chocolate. I also tried my dads Coffee and it tasted fine but it was a rather disgusting colour which sort of put me off drinking it. The staff were a bit annoying, ignoring us when we asked if our drinks were nearly ready. The waitresses looked a bit to young and unexperienced to be waitresses if you ask me and be could hear lots of clumsiness in the kitchen. Overall I this trip was rather unsuccessful

very slow order we ordered 3 drinks and in half an hour we finally got them quite nice drinks although the mocha and hot chocolate tasted exactly the same they had no point in having different names after this stay I think over all this was a pretty unsuccessful visit.

The gluten free sandwiches were amazing. Tasty and good bread which is unusual with gf bread! The cake was so good - really good. Loved the atmosphere, location and service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. We will be back.

A nice sunny day and a free table outside prompted a visit for a quick lunch. Unfortunately they took our money then totally forgot to process our order until I chased them, so it turned out not to be a quick lunch after all.Not helped by the fact that when the food eventually came (sandwiches) there wasn’t a lot for your money and my bread was a little stale. Had we not needed to get back to the car park I’d have asked for a replacement.The young waitress was pleasant and friendly but I don’t think experienced enough to handle a problem.A further observation. You go inside to order and pay; then they deliver your order to your table (hopefully). If you pay by card the machine asks if you want to leave a tip. Why would that arise BEFORE you’ve experienced any service or received your food? Seems somewhat presumptuous to me.A shame. A nice little cafe in a great location, but crying out for some better management

We chatted to the new owner who had big plans for this lovely cafe which is ideally situated for the Cathedral we had a lovely sandwich with perfect coffee Well done

We stopped in for a takeaway sandwich but it was so nice inside we decided to stay. Excellent Brie and cranberry sandwich with a nice salad garnish and also cheddar and chutney sandwich too. Both tasty and generously filled. Polite attentive staff. The only slight criticism was that the food took a long time but having said that the staff never stood still and they were certainly busy! Recommend!

Lovely cafe, friendly atmosphere, nice decor, and lovely coffee and hot chocolate! Couldn’t be happier.

Great location - food not bad but ruined by the amount of wasps that made eating outside almost impossible.

Went for lunch with friends. There was a good choice in the menu. All 4 of us ordered different meals The service was excellent. When the food came out it was well presented

We dived in here to get out of the rain on a recent trip to Wells. My husband and friend had the quiche and I had a toasted sandwich. All were very tasty, and quite reasonable value for money. Service was fairly prompt and friendly.

Overpriced . Warm scone that tasted rubbery as if the recipe was wrong, it was chewy, awful. Overpriced sandwich, latte coffee in a teacup!!

We came here during Covid and was extremely impressed with their efforts for social distancing and cleaning. Rather than just putting signs out all staff were practising what they preach and saw rigorous cleaning between customer sittings. The salad was really varied and substantial and clearly freshly made. Great portions too! Toasted sandwich was well filled and tasty. Very nice cream tea to finish. All in all lovely way to spend an hour in front of the cathedral reminiscing at the scenes from Hot Fuzz!

We had cream teas here today with the market in the street and it was delicious! Choice of any tea or Americano .

You can purchase almost all of the wall hangings from mirrors/clocks, while having a lovely slice of home baked cake and coffee, outside seating too, right in the middle of the market square

Looked nice from the outside so decided to go in. We both had a cream tea,Scone was slightly warmed and tasted very nice, just the right amount of jam and cream, and a large pot of tea between us.Quite reasonable at £9 for 2 of us.The place itself seemed clean and waitress who served us was friendly and helpful.

We called in Kitty Banks for a snack. It's nicely located in the main square and close to tourist attractions such as the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace etc. Plenty of tables inside and outside (handy in the better weather) and some nice seating areas upstairs. It's table service which is a bonus and the staff were very helpful and polite. A good choice of snacks (great cakes) and various meal options too. There is a toilet upstairs and free WiFi in the cafe. Well worth a visit and we shall be returning soon.

Popped in lunch time. Ordered a sandwich, cream tea and a slice of victoria sandwich. It was all very nice apart from the bread which could have been fresher! Good selection of quiche and soup which I nearly ordered but never had I tried parsnip with apple soup before. The service was pleasant. Toilet upstairs which is definitely not accessible for disabled folk. The view is nice from the front window overlooking the market square.

Had lunch here. Spotless and great service. The blue cheese quiche was amazing and beautifully presented with a very good side salad. Good value for money and will return

We were a group of 4 with two toddlers and thankfully there was 1 table upstairs that just seated all of us. There were two highchairs for our toddlers. We had hot tomato soup; sandwiches and a vegetarian sandwich. We all enjoyed the food very much. My sandwich was cheddar with a chutney which I thought was delicious. I ordered a tea with scones but the waitress forgot to bring the scones! I didn't mind because I was too full to eat them and they didn't charge me but it was an oversight on the waitresses' part. The restaurant is in a great location with a market just outside the door.

Popped in here for a light lunch during our 4 day break in Wells, The place is quaint, overlooking the Market Square, with a few local crafts for sale inside. My partner had a sandwich which she said was ok I had home made Mushroom Soup which was 'interesting' ! Very thick, very strong but tasted ok. thick chunk of Granary bread to go with it was good though. Service was a bit erratic, the table next to us walked out after half their order was forgotten .

Stopped by for a coffee and scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam sitting outside in the sunshine. Great coffee and scones.

Stopped in for lunch. Lovely salmon with beetroot salad, great cakes too. Couldn’t resist a slice of Victoria sponge. Nice atmosphere, helpful staff.

We went in here hoping for a spot of light lunch or a snack , we took a table upstairs and and duly waited for table service and waited and waited , eventually I went downstairs to order a pot of tea and a scone with jam , not much interest was shown at my appearance or any apology for the tardy service , my wife would have liked a plain scone but "we don't have them " . the tea & a latte turned up with extra latte in the saucer , my scone was drier than the weather outside but filled a hole . wouldn't go back or recommend as they where not that busy.

We went to the market in Wells and looking for a nice cafe to have our breakfast. This place is super nice. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food are brilliant too. We tried selection of food from scone, bruschetta and smoked salmon, scrambled egg and toast. I could say that they are all very nice after a starving morning that day. Would definitely come back.

Sat outside in the sun and enjoyed people watching and rather small coffees. Menu attractive with lots of home made items. The ladies went in to look at the shop area which sells smart mirrors and home accessories. Prompt efficient service.

Nicely located in the square just a few meters from the beautiful cathedral Only had coffees but found the staff friendly and helpful and the expresso was good and reasonably priced for a tourist location

We were allowed to take in the dog - but be aware that only a few of the tables are allocated to dog owners because of space, we were just lucky that when we went in there was a suitable one free. Upstairs quirky and fun to sit in (if you don't have a dog), and food was fine. Interesting selection of cakes.

Ok so I’m a connoisseur of cream teas. Together with my partner we had two ladies on holiday from NZ who had never a cream teas before and I wanted to make sure the memory was a good one. I am happy to report they loved their cream teas and enjoyed the cafe. The cafe staff were lovely, and there was plenty on offer to please every palette. We are going back tomorrow

Stopped for a nice relaxing drink . Busy cafe near the castle which offers a good selection of cakes , sandwiches, drinks , salad and breakfast.

Elk jaar minimaal een cream team, deze keer in Wells bij Kitty Banks.Klein gezellig cafeetje met vriendeljjk personeel verse scones, goede clotted cream en lekkere aardbeienjam. Prijs kwalieitsverhouding was goed.

We came into this cafe after looking around the cathedral in Wells.We were most impressed with the choice of sandwiches and the cakes looked really good but we did not succumb to them. All the food is freshly prepared and nicely presented. The staff are very pleasant as well. It is a peaceful oasis after all the crowds in Wells looking at the various attractions. We would definitely recommend this cafe.

Went in for lunch & there was so much choice I couldn't decide, eventually decided on quiche & salad which was delicious. The service was friendly & fairly quick. Highly recommended dog friendly too

We had sandwiches which were served on lovely soft fresh granary bed. Served with a few leaves and a slice of tomato. What let’s this place down is the toilet. The seat is badly chipped and there is a damp hand towel. No dryer or paper towels.

Wonderful tasty quiches, accompanied byyummy salad. Lots of fillings to choose from and the pastry was very light. Service was fine and would definitely return.

Just called in for coffee on a freezing cold morning, lovely friendly service, nice warming coffee and good flapjack!

We had lunch and the food was good and reasonably priced. Baked potatoes, home made soups, freshly made cakes and more - lots more.Friendly and helpful staff with table service.If you go you should sit upstairs if there is room; it is comfortable and interesting.We would eat there again.

Such a quaint and pretty place and conveniently near the cathedral . We were served promptly and the food was excellent even catering for my daughters strange dietary requirements. Lovely sofas to sit on and interesting objects everywhere. We’d definitely go back again . The staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Lovely, quirky, homely independent cafe in the square next to Wells cathedral, with sofas upstairs! Friendly, helpful staff, good prompt service. My decaf mocha with almond milk and portion of carrot cake were lush! They also do lunches, cream teas and breakfasts so definitely coming back soon. The quiches look amazing!

We ordered drinks this morning then one of the staff decided it was ok to stand in the partly open door chatting to someone. When I said excuse but can you shut the door as it’s very draughty( It’s 0 degrees out there) The member of staff concerned told me I was very rude and then when behind the counter where I could hear her muttering to the rest of the staff about me. I do hope they enjoyed our drinks. I certainly won’t ever go in there again . Disgusted of Wells,

Staff were really lovely and this is a real gem. The cake looked lush but we were so full from the baked spuds and lovely side salad that came with it.

Lovely cafe in a lovely location. A good choice of food and drinks, all reasonably priced. Staff helpful and attentive.

Ideal location, lovely sofas, good coffee but the food and pricing were very, very poor.We had two coffees and two ham sandwiches, total £18.00! Sandwiches over six pounds each, and we thought they’d must be something special at that price. Suspicious as they arrived really quickly, so not freshly made, bread was not very fresh and they had a tiny bit of limp salad. How silly we felt as it was food festival week and we had eaten here! Not again I am afraid.

We were just after a couple pf jacket potatoes one sunny October Sunday and this was the first place we could find with them on the menu. Once settled on a table outside, we discovered they had none left but I'm so glad! We chose their homemade quiches instead and they were delicious. Really good, tasty cheddar was used in mine and it had lovely crisp pastry. The salad, too, was packed with different salad vegetables (and fruit) and came with homemade coleslaw - all this for £7.50.The friendly staff really added to it and we enjoyed a chat while she cleared our table, in no way hustling us off.Really lovely.

we visited Wells late in the afternoon and stopped here before going to the cathedral. There were signs both inside and out which said jacket potatoes available but when we tried to order there were none. My husband asked if they had wholemeal bread and we were told yes, when the sandwiches arrived it was granary, it may have been wholemeal granary but I was under the impression they were two different things. I asked for the sandwich without butter and it came with a thick layer of butter, to be fair to the staff on duty they rectified it quickly and the sandwich was good, served with a small garnish of salad. I am not sure that if i was in the area i would stop here again. It seems the cafe is also a sales room as the window had items for sale, there was also seating upstairs as when you look in the door there are only 3 tables.

Lovely quirky little cafe, where we enjoyed sitting outside in the sun taking in the views and watching the world passing by. Best espresso I have had in a long time ! Food and cakes all properly home made and look delicious. Loved the unusual mixture of cafe/ craft/ gift shop. Service lovely. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Really nice cake.... And huge too. Lovely coffee and friendly staff. Located in the market Square near the cathedral. We ordered one cream tea, a large latte and lemon cake... £9.60. So reasonably priced. Would recommend.

When visiting Wells we always stop here and have lunch. Friendly staff. Freshly made sandwiches, top quality ingredients used. Delicious.

Loved sitting at Kitty Banks after a tour thru the Cathedral. Our whole family of 6 enjoyed cream tea and Victoria Sponge in the afternoon. A pleasant staff and very accommodating! thanks!!

Gorgeous quirky cafe right in the heart of Wells. A lovely range of delicious home cooked food, and great coffee and teas. The staff are always super friendly and helpful, and the service is always excellent. The salad bowls are a bargain, while being tasty and pretty healthy at the same time. Local artists work is often displayed around the shop which adds a nice touch. Wells is really lucky to have a nice range of independent businesses like this, and this one is not to be missed!

Popped in for a snack, everyone went for scones jam and clotted cream,with a variety of coffees and teas. Very tasty fresh scones, excellent jam and cream, good portion size and good friendly service. Tasty tea and coffee, perfect for a quick snack. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly staff welcomed us with our little boy, who was having macaroni and they added some grapes and cucumber on the side for him to pick at. We both had different quiches, which were amazing! Also came with the best salad! Great service, great food, lovely atmosphere. thank you

Had a quick coffe on the way to the cathederal, and was won over by the sight of the quiches.Obviously we returned for lunch. Dog friendly-always a bonus. My wife had the cauliflowere cheese while I had a quiche, both served with fresh salad, which was a meal in itself. Lots of items for sale around the walls and in the upstairs area. altogether a pleasent dining experience. Interesting story of KittyHolman from Camborne, we reckon she might have been from the Homan mining family to be able to travel all the way to Wells for employment!

Got to admit, we were disappointed, reasonable food and not badly priced, served by indifferent and none to friendly staff, did we feel welcome there?? No, would we go back?? No.

Two of us had something to eat for lunch here on Saturday whilst the market was on. We were on the way down to Cornwall. Experience was average to say the best, I had macaroni cheese and salad which I didn't finish- (no one asked why) the macaroni was overcooked very dry - the cheese was completely tasteless. The salad was like ' supermarket packet' salad with a few additions. My partner had soup which was ok. We both had coffee which was completely dreadful and undrinkable - again no one asked why we'd left the drinks. Service was indifferent - I didn't see any staff member crack a smile. All a bit grim and a lot of other choice close by- a shame.

This quirky little cafe is very close to the cathedral. It is on two floors serving excellent food and also selling various interesting items. Reasonably priced for a city and so close to the cathedral we enjoyed an great macaroni cheese and cauliflower cheese both served with a fresh salad and coleslaw, a shared carrot cake and 2 pots of tea for under £17.00. Everything was fresh and delicious and the staff helpful and friendly. We found it by chance but I would definitely go back again.

Stopped here for lunch and pleasantly surprised by the food and friendly staff. Good choices on the menu and nice tea and coffee. The hot food was delicious and freshly prepared.

Visited Lunchtime 29th March. I ordered the bacon toasted sandwich but they had finished serving bacon. I then ordered prawn sandwich with Thousand Island dressing. The bread was stale, the prawns really cold and still contained a bit of ice. The dressing was very runny (probably watered down by the cold prawns. A bit of salad on the side with no dressing provided or offered. My husband ordered the Macaroni Cheese, obviously microwaved but he said it was good. Two teas. At no point were we asked if the food was o.k. Bill came to just under £15.

Had a nice lunch when visiting Wells, Sandwiches and Soup were very good and the staff were friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit if you are in Wells. Almost next to the Abbey.

This is our favourite cafe in Wells for family gatherings. Friendly staff, cosy surroundings downstairs (the sofa area upstairs is spacious and peaceful), delicious food and a gifts and cards to buy. My favourite is the salad bowl, which is always fresh and tasty! Veggie and gluten free friendly.

Great coffee and lovely staff. Just a shame I had the worst scrambled eggs ever. Like rubber. Awful. Disappointing considering what a lovely little cafe this is. I hope they improve their breakfast skills.

Came here on a cold wet winter day. After we had a bit of a walk round Wells, we decided to get a spot of lunch. There are plenty of pubs and cafe to choose from. This place didnt stand out but glad we came here. We had cauliflower cheese, mac&cheese, beef stew and quiche. All were decent size with generous freshly made salad and a doorstep of bread. The meals were deceptively big.The place was interesting with some quirky local art and stuff. Comfortable too.There was nothing exceptionally good but all worked well together and it was relaxing!

This is a really quaint and lovely for beautiful hand made cakes. My sister comes to visit us a few time a year and is Gluten tolerant. She say this is the best place for tastey gluten free cakes. Well done to all!

Didn't have home made pate which was on menu so decided to share husbands sandwich. Although more staff than customers service very poor.Another plate was suggested by waitress which never arrived.We were served a small amount of salad which we ate with our fingers as cutlery was not offered. The staff conversation was much more interesting than service to customers. Very disappointing will not return.

Coffee and cake visit Nov 2017. No soy or other vegan milk. Had a black coffee. And a rather tough almond slice. Food and drinks a bit “blah”. Prices middle to high for size of drinks and quality of food. Free Wi-fi. Wheelchair accessible, albeit heavy door in and cramped once inside. Beautiful location in Wells.

We visited twice, each time it was really good. Excellent food , service and price 👍🏻 Would highly recommend .

Lovely welcoming staff, a beautiful location in the Market Square. I was incredibly pleased to find they served a delicious gluten-free macaroni cheese. Excellent value at £5.75 with a small side salad. My friend enjoyed her Cheddar cheese and tomato quiche with fantastic mixed salad very much.It was busy but the staff were very efficient and helpful. Water for dogs also provided!I will definitely return :-)

We were in Wells today to visit the Food Fare {so the town was packed with visitors} and we happened upon Kitty Banks purely by accident. How lucky were we! We enjoyed the most marvellous lunch and the service was all that we could wish for. I had an amazing Cauliflower cheese with a delicious salad and crusty bread that was to die for. If you're in Wells do drop by, you certainly won't regret it !!

We popped in for lunch on a recent visit and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The quiches were just stunning and were accompanied by one of the best mixed salads I have ever had. Really good food and friendly service. It isn't the quickest place in the world, but who needs that in a lovely little city like Wells?

Stopped for quick coffee and light lunch. Choose the soup of the day which was pea and mint. It came with fresh granary bread and the whole thing was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend.

Popped in here with a friend. Very courteous, friendly staff who do not make you feel rushed at all. Very laid back and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Kitty Banks!

Tasty sandwiches with a lovely salad and a cracking local ginger beer. A prompt and pleasant service.

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff. My friend and I had a lovely freshly cooked lunch at Kitty Banks today ....everything was freshly served and was piping hot and tasty.We had cauliflower cheese which was served with a lovely slice of thickly cut ham and salad with two slices of chunky granary bread which we followed with millionaire shortbread which was equally good.Fully recommended .......this cafe also sells cards/cushions/mirrors/ornaments etc.

Not so much a review, more of a thank you! A friend and I had lunch at Kitty Banks on Sunday, and I was mistakenly charged twice. I rang the next day and Julie the owneralready had it covered. We spoke on the Monday and by Wednesday there was a cheque for the over charged amount. A fantastic example of excellent customer service. We will definitely be eating there again. Well done Julie and her staff. The food was great as well. Teena☀️☀️☀️

If you’re looking for a good pot of tea and at a great price this is the place. Delightful staff and with tables outside overlooking the market square when the weather is fine it’s quintessentially English. Recommended.

The cream tea and scenes were very good severed by a friendly staff. Nice comfortable atmosphere in a lovely city. Highly recommend for a refreshing break.

Después de la visita de la catedral y del palacio del Obispo entramos aquí a tomar un café y un trozo de pastel. Todo un acierto, estaba buenísimo. Lugar tranquilo, limpio y buen servicio. Precio correcto.

Lovely setting and atmosphere, Splendid homeade food and excellent service, Will defiantly be back for another visit.

Looked like a lovely cafe. Service was good. I asked if they did any gluten free cake & they offered two choices. Fantastic! However, unfortunately after eating a piece of the lemon drizzle cake, two hours later I found that I had been 'glutened', spending the next few hours being very sick and unwell. I hadn't eaten anything else so it must have been the cake. Please be absolutely certain when you offer food as gluten free that it actually is and is not contaminated with gluten. Being gluten free is not a lifestyle choice. I am a Coeliac.

Had a super sandwich and salad after travelling down to Wells, the staff were very friendly and obliging too.

Came in at lunch time a while back for a smoked salmon cream cheese sandwich. It was expensive (around £7 I think?) and very average - floppy bread that tasted like it came straight from the supermarket and very boring filling and garnishes.Will try again soon but I have had consistently good experiences with the Market Cafe (Crofters) which is right next door.

Stopped off for a cup of tea and coffee, however the cake on offer proved irresistible. Service was good as was the tea, coffee and cake. Good place for a quick afternoon stop when site seeing.

Checked out 3 cafes for a spot of tea and cake but settled on this one. We had delicious cake and lovely service from the lovely Jonathan. Perfect finish to our day.

The location is next to the entrance to the cathedral and Bishops Palace so is very convenient. The restaurant is in amongst the shop which adds some interest. Service was with a smile and was very reasonable. I had a ploughman's using local cheddar cheese. Would strongly recommend

Stopped in for a spot of lunch today and was very pleased with the lunch we had. I had a delicious Pea and Mint soup, my fiancé had pâté. The cafe was very clean & tidy with spotless toilets. Would definitely visit again, and my soup was a proper big bowl not a little thing that wouldn't fill you up! Recommended

Had a lovely cup of tea here with delicious cake. Very calm and friendly atmosphere, with comfortable seating. We liked their 60s easy-listening playlist!

This is a lovely warm and welcoming cafe. We have been before with the dogs. I had earl grey tea (not twinnings) with a slice of lemon curd cake which was spot on, very lemony and my wife had coffee with a fruity flapjack which she commented how good and crumbly it was. The loo was spotless, in the wall of a old stone spiral staircase, just like the ones in Malta.

Centre of town, by the market and cathedral; happy atmosphere, pleasant staff. Well worth a stop during a day in Wells

Stopped here for a coffee and then decided on some lunch after seeing the quiches on display. The salads it came with were amazing and piled high.. Great value and very quick service. Staff were wonderfully friendly.. Would highly recommend!

Fresh salads and vegetarian food. Helpful and friendly staff. Upstairs lounge is quirky and well worth a visit. Ancient WC! This is a medieval building. Free newspaper to read with your coffee (If I didn't get there first). Busy on market days in the summer - maybe be prepared to share a table?

Kitty Banks caters for all food requirements, and is served by very friendly welcoming staff. The food is home cooked and is delicious.

I accompanied my German friend to this lovely place for lunch, so close to the beautiful Wells Cathedral. The menu was unassuming but the quality was outstanding. People working there really cared about what they were producing, and it was very, very good, ad at a price that was frankly unassuming too.

This quaint cafe serves excellent coffee and baked goods! Service was very friendly and it was very cosy inside. There is also a gift shop upstairs which had some nice items. If you can't get a seat downstairs then try upstairs as there are more seats there. It's located very conveniently on the market place and we called in when visiting the Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Didn't try the food but it looked very fresh and good. In particular, the bread and cheeses looked delicious. If I return I would definitely try more food there.

A combined café and gift shop, with only a few tables. Near the cathedral entrance so very handy. Advertises 'the best hot chocolate in town' - not sure if that is true as haven't tried the rest, but it was fine - not the best I've ever had but fine. Chocolate cake and scones with jam and cream both excellent.

Well yesterday me and another 3 family members walked around wells. We found kitty banks and went inside. We were greeted and taken care of with the few staccato there who all were very very welcoming. An Irish lady served us and her knowledge of the foods and the area is outstanding. She made a few jokes which made us feel so at home. She was interested in talking and made recommendations to what food etc. She kept checking we were ok and by her giving us this service I can honestly say that this was the best place I adve visited in a long time. I and my family will always visit here if we are in wells and I would like to thank her for this. Outstanding service. I will also say that the food is lovely. The cafe is clean. What more could you want
