Odette's Tearoom in Taunton Deane

Had a lovely cream tea with 9 friends. Great service and the scones were beautiful freshly baked. Would recommend greatly

Top quality food and service. A credit to Wellington. Definitely worth stopping by for lunch. Keep up the good work.

A lovely, quaint tea shop. The food (tuna mayo baked potato) was yummy, and the tea (loose leaf in a beautiful teapot) was hot and delicious! The staff were friendly and very efficient. Highly recommended 👌.

Poor service: When asked why it's taken so long, I got told they were very busy. There were 2 tables of 2 and 2 tables of 4. As we were waiting, a table of 2 came in, and after 10 minutes of waiting for service They got up and left. There were 3/4 staff members. It's a shame that could be a gold mind in the right hands. The food was cold and bland.

Absolutely amazing, fast service, hot food. Really friendly staff. Would recommend 100%. Cant wait to go back. Tobias Ridgeway epic cook.

Went into Odettes for lunch with my daughter. Very clean. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. We asked if it was possible to have a small salad ( even though its not on the menu) withim a few minutes we were served a beautiful cheddar and stilton salad with a dressing on tge side! Cannot rate this tearoom highly enough. Thank you Odettes. Two very happy customers.

This place has such good quality breakfasts and my auntie had a platter it was so delicious!!! hotel quality food lovely staff and such great atmosphere would recommend this to anyone

Lovely food and drink, good prompt service and table was cleaned before we sat down. Oat milk available for non-dairy diner. Toilet accessible for customers and a garden for dogs if required. Tables need clearing more often though and the toilet could do with freshening up. Really like the backstory about Odette herself too. We’ll be back.

A friend visited me yesterday. We normally go to another beautiful cake shop but they were closed yesterday so thought we would try here. We walked in and were the only people in there. We went out to the garden and all the tables had dirty plates on. We had to clear our own table in order to sit down. The stairs inside also had dirty plates on the steps going up. The girl brought out our food and just walked back in empty handed, didn’t clear any of the dirty plates which we found really perplexing. As our food arrived there was a rat walking around in the flower bed next to where we were sat. Not bothered by us at all so clearly very at home!!! We left shortly after. Horrific. Would not visit again and would not recommend.

Service and food amazing always restaurant/hotel quality have been back again and again, breakfast sandwich worth every penny and the full breakfast , quality bacon & sausages ! 6 stars if I could give more..... sorry for half eaten photos could wait to start before I took pics !

Love the idea of odettes, beautiful vintage China, loose leaf teas and friendly service. However, went for afternoon tea and the scones were actually burnt on top (the scone on the next table was black), skimpy on the jam and cream but did top up when asked, only 2 tuna mayo finger sandwiches, 1 ham and 1 egg between 2 of us. My husband hates tuna so that’s my choices gone then! 4 bite size cakes on top tier but just lacking the wow factor as no garnish just cake plonked on top. A few grapes or some berries would have really lifted it. The lemon bite size cake was wow though and wish I’d just had that with a cuppa! Had scones delivered for Mother’s Day a few years ago - also burnt, when I complained I was told that’s why they had thrown a couple of extra in! They shouldn’t have even left the kitchen. Tried again this year as under new management but seems the art of scone making still needs work. Not cheap at £17.95 a head so expected to feel wow’d but sadly very underwhelming which was sad on Mother’s Day.

Firstly, the staff were warm and friendly. My well behaved dog was welcome; which is always a big plus for me (& otherwise I don’t go there!). It was very busy when we got there. We arrived at 1.40pm; our order was taken at 2pm….finally got our drinks at 2.15pm and the food eventually turned up around 2.40pm. This is incredibly slow; for a bowl of soup, 2 reheated in microwave cheese scones & one Afternoon Tea. The tea was a beautiful display with delightfully prepared mini sandwiches and slices of cake etc. Not expensive; the whole bill only came to £27 and the tea would’ve served two people easily (my daughter had to take half of it home). Real clotted cream & nice jam. Real butter. I appreciate that they were super busy before we arrived but feel that service should be a lot faster as everything can be pre-prepared in advance. Also the temperature on a cold December day was pretty low; a heater or two would’ve been nice. With a few improvements this place could be amazing.

Had tea and scones. Tablecloth stained.Not cheap but not outlandish either

Delightful find, quirky as a tea room should be! Food is fresh and meals are cooked to order. The staff were very welcoming and cake was delicious.

I have visited on several occasions;- and find it quite good value for money. For instance;- I managed to have Coffee;- and Crumpets;- (with two toppings!);- for under ten pounds. I also found the Service Friendly;- as I'd ordered Ice-cream;- and a Jacket Potato, and the Ice-cream;- came as an Aperatif;- which was quite nice on that occasion I visited.

Second time in this lovely tea room the tea as always was freshly brewed the cakes beautiful. The young man serving us was friendly and helpful

The tearoom was an oasis of calm on our travel to the West Country. We sat outside in the shade under a grape vine with the flowers and butterflies. Tea came in a China tea service and we had a mixed platter for for two to eat. Probably the most enjoyable lunch I remember having anywhere. The staff were kind and helpful. Why isn’t this place closer to home

This is a lovely little tearoom for a light lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea. We particularly liked the small outside area, which was simple but inviting. We were able to enjoy a sunny lunch with relatives, who were travelling up the M5 and could break their journey. We loved the cheese platter and delicious cheese scones, very nice sandwiches too.

Highly recommend! Love this cafe! We go in there every time we visit Wellington. Have had various meals from menu and each time food and service have been amazing. Good quality produce. Fair prices and such friendly staff. Woukd recommend booking if going at lunch time hours as gets busy and fills up quickly.

Fabulous little gem in the heart of Wellington. Nice choice of dishes...all beautifully presented on pretty china/platters. Proper leaf tea with a strainer too. Dogs are welcome..there is a pretty garden area to the rear as well. The staff are really lovely too...friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place you can go with friends or on your own (there are magazines to read while you enjoy your coffee and homemade cake). You won't be disappointed.

Went into Odettes tearoom for a quick lunch on Tuesday with my daughter. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. We asked was it possible to have a salad ( which wasn't on the menu) After checking the kitchen for ingredients we were told of course we could. In no time at all we were served with a beautifully presented and very tasty crispy bacon salad! Would definitely recommend this place and will 100% be visiting again soon!

Brilliant food and service lovely cooked brekky. Well recommend to anyone. Worth travelling to. Regardless of your appetite somethings nag for anything

Ideal environment that is pleasant and perfect for a good hangout.

Lovely tea shop just on the way into Wellington. The garden is a hidden gem - a quiet sun trap. Good coffee, nice tea and some marvellous eggy brunch meals. Handy stop off on the way up or down the M5. Park up and do some shopping at the nearby supermarkets and then stroll over.

This was the first time myself and 2 friends visited Odette's. It is a quaint tea shop in the heart of Wellington Somerset. Upon entering the young lady greeted us with a smile. The food was cooked to order which was just perfect. Will most definitely be returning in the near future.

Such a wonderful Tearoom, with a variety of delicious meals and afternoon teas with fantastic friendly service. A great place for any occasions, whether its for when i have gone there as a place to meet and catch up with friends or celebrate a birthday, they have always gone above and beyond! Highly recommend!

Amazing selection of tasty food in a lovely setting, the garden is a must in the summer. Staff that go above and beyond

Always excellent service and food amazing - especially the cheese scones. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Friendly, relaxed and delicious afternoon tea.

We celebrated a family birthday with afternoon tea . Presentation was amazing ! Elegant China teacups and plates . The food was wonderful - homemade sandwiches in triangles , huge slices of cakes and the biggest scones with clotted cream and jam ! Service was impeccable and very friendly . I recommend Odettes wholeheartedly for quality of food , ambience and service . It showcases the best and is very special . Thank you Odettes !

Thought I left a review when I went in January, alas I had forgotten. Absolutely amazing little place in the heart of my hometown wellington, the food and the tea were absolutely wonderful and even now I still think about it and miss my hometown even more. When back in the UK I will definitely go again! 5 stars

Neices 6th birthday afternoon tea, table looked amazing, food was stunning and tea ran non stop. Such a lovely experience and helpful staff throughout.

We hired Odettes on Christmas Eve for a large family Christmas/ birthday brunch. It was a wonderful experience- the staff were friendly and kept us well supplied with drinks. Food was lovely - well cooked and presented. You made our Christmas special- thank you so much.

I have worked in hospitality before and for several years. I understand being stressed out due to understaffing and that receipts get lost, I’ve been guilty of losing a few orders myself. However, when a customer quite legitimately and politely asks what has happened to their food after an hour of waiting I also know that keeping calm and being friendly and apologetic is the best policy. When my mother asked where our order was though the waitress simply shouted in her face that she “had not received an order” despite my mother being entirely non-confrontational. We were then apologised to by the waiter who explained he’d lost the receipt asked if we still wanted our food, which we did, and we explained to him we weren’t at all angry just confused. However, when the waitress came back with the food she plonked it down on the table without so much as a smile and stalked off while my mother was still thanking her and trying to sympathise that it was busy. When I then went to pay I was met with similar frostiness with the waitress claiming she’d forgotten what we ordered and not offering any compensation of any kind. It was only when we were leaving that she mumbled something to me about being “sorry again about the toast”. I understand that some customers can be aggressive and unreasonable about mistakes made and that it is hard to work in an environment that is busy and understaffed but I do feel my mother and I should have received a much better level of respect and service seeing as we had remained friendly and reasonable in spite of a staff error.

We love coming to Odette’s. Staff are very friendly and attentive and the poached eggs are always perfect! A regular spot for us.

Was a lovely experience, very friendly and the staff were amazing. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you.

We had a lovely afternoon out with a very nice array of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes

We've seen this place numerous times in Wellington but never got around to trying it, Odette's look lovely from outside and is nicely done out inside, staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. We called here to eat, food was nicely presented, but expensive

We visited for an early lunch, and I’d like to start by saying the staff were friendly and polite. I felt it could of been cleaner, some unclean table cloths, crumbs etc. We ordered Brie bacon and cranberry sandwich and a tuna sandwich. The freshly cooked bacon was nice but it was a very basic sandwich and presentation and not what I would of expected from a tea room, I could of made something more appealing at home. The ends of the crisp packet were on my plate. I know it’s not a visually appealing/exciting meal when I don’t think about taking a photo. Although there was nothing wrong with our food… I wouldn’t jump at the idea of visiting again.

6 friends meet once month in this lovely tea shop. Cream twas a speciality. I ordered 2 crumpets with cheese.Especially asking for crumpets very well done Unfortunately. They were underdone and doughy. No butter to be seen and cheese not melted. I ploughed through first one. Couldnt palate the second.

Delicious hot chocolate and fresh scone, jam and cream. Can't recommend too much.

Very welcoming, excellent quality food and drinks. My dog loved his little bit of sausage. Many Thanks.

Lovely cafe… they do a very traditional cup of tea in China mugs… awesome eggs Benedict too and can cater for gluten free.

Great little find .. cannot fault the service or the food or the price ...if you are in Wellington try it .

A great little find in Wellington. Service was super fast and the staff were really lovely. Cakes are yummy. Tea is very traditional with a teapot, real tea leaves and a cup and saucer. 🤗

Thought we’d support local, had our order taken by a young girl maybe 14 years old with her hood up and been rubbing and picking her nose for the previous 5 mins, ordered 2 pieces of cake dry and crumbly my 4 year old refused it. Waited maybe 15 mins for a latte came out very bitter, refused to drink it. Table clothes very dirty and tea/ coffee stained. First and last visit, really not pleasant

Local but first time vist and the most delicious eggs florantine ever.friends soup delicious. Lovely , cosy surroundings, friendly staff and will be our regular escape in future. Cannot recommend highly enough, you must try.

Went here to support local traders rather than the coffee#1 but visit wasn’t great. A tea room with no cake at 11.30 on a Saturday? Expensive for a mediocre coffee. Ended up in coffee#1

Decided to support a local cafe rather than the chain coffee rooms but hugely disappointed. Were told at 11.30 a.m. there was no cake because they had sold out! Rather a long wait for some very bitter coffee which came with a cup chipped at the rim. Whilst I accept the vintage crockery is part of the theme this was just unhygienic. ☹️ And much more expensive than other cafes but really not worth it.

Lovely tea rooms. Cosy with a good selection of food

Fab service! Fab food! Fab price!

Had a Mixed Platter, really nice and freshly made by the two members of staff who did an excellent job. Well done one and all. Will be back soon.

Amazing find. You will not regret visiting. Pick a nice day and sit in the garden!!!

Amazing afternoon tea was lovely

Lovely staff .great cafe.excellent cake and coffee

Lovely little place, great service and more importantly really scrumptious good

We had a lovely afternoon tea. 11 of us landed on the door step and they gave us a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely make your own breakfast. Staff very friendly and accommodating and welcomed our 3 dogs. Really liked the old China and presentation. Would definitely recommend.

A great place to meet. Good coffee and great service.

One of the best cafes I've been in. Beautiful decor and dainty plates and cutlery that add something unique to the whole experience. The food is fantastic from their menu of mainly breakfast or afternoon tea stuff. The cakes are fantastic and always a gluten free one available.

I recently visited this gorgeous cafe again for brunch and took some visiting family as I'm so proud of it. The staff are friendly and helpful and the decor is so pretty. We loved little touches such as the vintage, floral crockery. The garden is beautiful and we sat under the pergola adorned with a lush grapevine which was just lovely. The choice is great and there's something for everyone, including my 7 year old son. The meals are of great quality, feels like a treat to eat there but the price is so reasonable. Can't recommend highly enough!

Popped in whilst in Wellington. Lovely, friendly staff where nothing is too much trouble. Raining outside but lovely lunch with sister. We have been before and will definitely return.

I took my elderly mother and young daughter here in December as I have every time I go to visit my mum. Once again the service was friendly the food was served and presented wonderfully and the place just had a perfect atmosphere for a light lunch with family. The owner was very engaging and made us feel like we were family. I would recommend to anyone visiting Wellington as a perfect break from Christmas shopping or visiting the tourist attractions in this lovely city.

It's so lovely to have somewhere that is keeping the Christmas spirit alive this year with their lovely decorations and seasonal menu! Odette's always makes that extra special effort and this year is no exception. Always welcoming, always a high standard of service and food quality. It's great to see a small business committed to the community and offering a wonderful Christmas experience.

Friendly and clean and comfortable, and lush hot chocolate!

Friendly and helpful staff, lovely cream tea. Wide range of teas, quaint and old fashioned in the best possible way

Nice afternoon tea could've given a warning about the loose tea in the pot. A tea strainer would help.

Fantastic little tea room with a heoric story dog friendly too.

Lovely quaint tea room Friendly service Home made cakes Lovely afternoon tea with ice cream for the kids

Enjoyed a quick lunch here in the sunny garden out the back. Had a lovely prawn sandwich and cola. Friendly staff and good service.

I took To my sister and Mummy for coffee cake/ lunch . There wasn’t much cake and couldn’t find anything I really liked lunch . My sister had Egg Bennett She said it was fine. I thought the cake would’ve been the better . it was a lovely garden but if You don’t like birds and don’t do it . ☀️

The new decor is an improvement, but quite chaotic. Despite there being three members of staff (two in the kitchen, one serving) the service was very slow (40 minutes from entering to the coffee arriving). I had the afternoon tea, which consisted of egg and ham & pickle sandwiches, which were disappointing as I was hoping for more variety and imagination. The scone was overcooked and a bit dry. I didn’t try the cake, which might have been ok.Sandwiches definitely need some work. With the limited number of covers, the service should be more efficient too. Staff were polite.

Fabulous , would highly recommend . Lovely atmosphere and great staff .

Enjoyed a delivery of cakes scones and sandwiches from Odettes.Recommended.Well presented and delicious.

Never fails to deliver. Lovely premises, with great staff and delightfully presented wonderful food and drinks

Lovely staff and a relaxing place to enjoy your meal and meet your family and friends

We have just moved to Wellington. Finishing some errands, we stopped for a bite at Odette's. The decor was very nostalgic and in good taste. My coffee was fresh and enjoyable and the cakes were elegant and tasty. The hostess was down to earth and ready to give you some time with a bit of banter. Due to work, I can't say we have become regulars, but we go when we can.

Afternoon tea- disappointed by this visit. Poor variety of sandwiches and cake for the price. Our table had crumbs on it from the previous occupant. The customer service did not leave me with a feeling that I wanted to visit again. Nice decor but I am afraid I wont be back.

We enjoyed it and tea being served in china cups always tastes better. The one thing I did find a little disappointing was that we didn't have a choice of cakes. It was 3 slices of fruit cake and 3 slices of millionaire shortcake. Another table had 3 and 3 of something else. Just a small thing as it is a lovely place to go.

Lovely, quaint tea rooms with very friendly staff ♡

I went having seen the good gluten free reviews. The staff were very friendly and said most things could be made gluten free. I did query the hollandaise sauce as they said it had vinegar in and she didn't realise coeliacs needed to avoid malt vinegar. Also I asked if gluten free bread was going in a normal toaster and I was told it would. I said that would mean it was't suitable for coeliacs so she did it under the toaster. Food was good but I was worried. It's definitely worth asking questions if you go there and are coeliac as staff were very helpful. However this was ok when we arrived and it was empty. They may not be able to when busy as they were when we left.

Fine - good service. Will return

This is just a lovely place to stop off for tea - very friendly with lovely home-made cakes and sandwiches. The tea is also very good and the service friendly. I like the decor which is defiantly non-corporate.

Sitting in the lovely and quirky garden at Odette's on a sunny day, with wonderful food and drinks is wonderful. Everything is beautifully cooked and presented. Never disappointed.

Very lovely place for coffee and a catch up

Nice quaint decor and tea was served in proper China tea cups, but for lunch the only gluten free on the menu was jacket potato. No gluten free bread available for a sandwich option

Visited Wellington, in Somerset today & came across this lovely little tea shop. Pretty decor inside, cream & lilac was matched by the presentation of our food. My Eggs Royale was very tasty, perfectly cooked eggs on top of a fair portion of salmon, smothered in hollandaise on a slightly toasted muffin. The missus had a gentleman's high tea consisting of cheese scones, sandwiches, stilton, chutney & a pork pie. Well worth a visit. Thoroughly reccommended.

Love it here....have been a few times now

Promised a lot, very friendly staff, excellent history fascinating and very moving, food and coffee not so good,

It was a really great experience, very warm and welcoming, a lovely young lady served us. The gentleman’s afternoon tea was so very tasty and filling I had wanted smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, unfortunately the cream cheese had finished but they were quite happy to offer me Brie instead, very tasty. We will definitely make this a regular place to eat.

What a treat to have a really well cooked breakfast with welcoming staff.A pleasant little cafe situated in the high street, full of vintage charm.Well worth a visit.

Always welcoming - great lunch and afternoon tea on offer. Soup and a sandwich or gentleman’s afternoon tea I can recommend them all. My daughter enjoyed the French toast and ham with mushrooms and tomatoes. Leaf Tea always served in a pot 😊.

Excellent choice of teas. Very good value for money.

Charming independent tearoom. Lovely cheese scones

This was our first visit and we will definitely go back regularly. We had toasted tea cakes which came with plenty of butter in a butter dish (no mean wrapped pats here) and jam, and a cafetière of coffee for two. It was all delicious. The decor has a French style - very nice.

Lovely tearoom - service a bit slow. Good value & really worth a visit for proper afternoon tea.

Had the most amazing hot chocolate here a couple of weeks ago and fabulous coffee and walnut cake too. Will be going back soon!!

This is a proper tea shop serving wonderful tea and cakes etc. Large selection of teas lovely choice of food and cakes.

The staff (and in particular Nancy) are all really friendly and helpful. Lovely cakes. Great place to meet up with friends for coffee and cake or a light lunch.

A lovely little tea room, that serves lovely light lunches and cakes and teas. It takes one back and is a real gem in the town. I highly recommend it. Their hot chocolates are great!
