Parsons Bakery in Mendip

Called in today for a cappuccino to shelter from the rain, decided to have the meal deal for 2. Hot drink, sandwich and cake for £4.50 each! Sat outside under the canopy, chicken tikka and chicken mayo sandwich’s were lovely and very filling, cream slice and muffin to follow! Will definitely call again, staff lovely 😊

A trip to Wells and we needed a snack so opted for the special. I had an egg mayonnaise on thick granary bread, a warm pastry and a latte. My partner had chicken baguette, white chocolate muffin and a latte. Total cost, an amazing £9. Well worth the money, nice food/coffee and pleasant staff.

Called in here bank holiday Monday for a quick snack but found the baguettes to be very dry as we was leaving I also overheard someone else complaining to the staff about how dry there baguettes were too. They maybe cheap but you still expect a fresh baguette when you order one.

A baguette, a cake and a drink for £4.50 - excellent value and the service is good too. Easy to find at the top of the street and it has a few seats inside and out to eat the delicious food and cakes.

The pasty’s are really delicious and I quite often get them from here - it always tastes fresh and a distant reminder of Cornwall. Good cookies however quite burnt around the edges. One member of staff is super friendly however the other one who forgive me if I’m wrong had an accent, on two occasions has been grumpy and unwelcoming. I paid and had no thank you or anything she just walked off which seemed a little rude, that’s all.

This is a great bakery to enjoy a great selection of food. For a quick lunch or treat this is the place to go in Wells. We have always found the cleanliness and friendly customer service (especially from Geo and team) to be the best. Definitely 5 stars

We visited here on a cold November morning looking for something to warm us up and this well run and well presented shop didn’t disappoint. The shop manager was so helpful when we asked what she would recommend as a nice winter warmer, we came away with hot latte coffees and the best mince pies i have ever had. They were warm, deep filled with a viennese pastry top, will definitely be going there again.

Really impressed with the pasties. Baguettes and hot drinks are surprisingly good as well. Not sure how many flavours the pasties offered but we loved all the 3 available at that time (cheese & onion, chicken, pork/apple/stuffing)

Always go here when we visit wells nice fresh and tasty food good coffee always good value we live in weston super mare and have a parsons here but prefer wells as staff are more friendly.

we took ours to go as just wanted a snack, but really enjoyed our pasty and cheese and bacon turnover, really great pastry.

Four pieces of bacon placed between between two x one inche slices of bread and smothered in HP sauce.

Had the lunchtime meal deal. Everything was fresh and service was attentive. The pastries are beautiful.

I am camping nearby and thought on my way to cheddar gorge I'll stop for a coffee.This was the only place open.Friendly staff, happy staff, an assortment of freshly baked pies etc (looked delicious).Got my coffee and sat at a table outside. Lovely way to start the day.

Visited this family bakery after a gentle stroke around Wells on market day. We had seen the bakery produce on offer at the market but considered it to be a bit on the extortionate side price wise.However on passing Parsons bakery we saw that all the outdoor tables were occupied and limited seats available inside, we soon found out why, on purchasing two of their delicious Cornish pasties, which we ate seated in premises, we found them to be so good we ordered a further four pasties and asked could we pick them up later, which we did at the princely some of £1.50 each. As compared with others priced in the region £4 each.Service excellent, food and value excellent, will definately call again when in the area.

We were in Wells for the Christmas Carol service at the Cathedral. When walking through the market we passed the Parsons Bakery shop right on the corner and noticed the sourdough range. We love real sourdough and bought a couple of loaves, the white and the seeded. We were pleasantly surprised by service by the staff and the price, cheaper than even some supermarkets and definitely cheaper than our local bakeries. We have now tasted them now and were not disappointed. You can even sit outside and enjoy watching the world go by. I would definitely recommend this bakery for its produce especially the sourdough.

Whilst i/we don't visit this place very often, the consistency is the in the total lack of customer service skills possessed by the staff who are generally rude and ignorant! You can always be sure of a "grunt" rather than a helpful "what can I get you", I don't think I have ever heard any of them say please or thank you to a customer from the obvious management down. Although, if you are partial to a scowl that could turn milk sour, you are sure to be served an extra large portion!Perhaps if you are going to have "friends" leaning on the edge of the counter, more interested in conversation with them over actual paying customers, and those actual paying customers are therefore an inconvenience to you whilst you're engaging in local gossip, you should rethink working in a customer service roll?As said, we have been in on a few occasions and always receive and observe the same poor attitude, so this time will probably be the last!

The special offer for freshly brew coffee caught our eye , and didn’t disappoint. E. Excellent Americano and fresh cake to accompany. Staff friendly Wells is lucky to have such a place.

Dopo avere visitato la cattedrale ed il palazzo vescovile a Wells, abbiamo fatto un giro conoscitivo del centro, un acquazzone improvviso ci ha costretti a riparare in un bar, cosi abbiamo scelto questo d'angolo, caratteristico, a prezzi contenuti, io ho consumato un buonissimo muffin al doppio cioccolato accompagnato da un drink, buono.

The pasties I bought were very good. Well made and with a good filling.

The pastries and cakes here are delicious but the staff could do with being a little bit more customer focused and friendly.

Bought some hot pasties for dinner and couldn’t resist buying some fudge for a present, gift wrapped last very patient while I chose what I wanted

Just to say great vegetarian sausage rolls and Danish pastries. Very good value, and friendly staff, very close to the amazing cathedral.

At the heart of the city, with even a few seats outside, make for a very bustling atmosphere in the heart of the city

We were drawn in by the array of old favourites such as lardy cake but the flavour didn't live up to expectations. There was a poster disp6kayed showing a doorstep sandwich of bacon or sausage but on requesting one we were told without apology that there were no sausages or bacon available, so a big disappointment

We stopped here for coffee and enjoyed sitting outside on a chilly autumn day. The coffee was excellent value at £1 per cup and the bread pudding was really good - moist and full of fruit.

We called in and asked for any rolls. The woman scraping the tray didn't even look up and just said "No". Went back the second day and asked if they had a small wholemeal which merited the same woman saying "We don't do them". I don't think we will visit again however good the fayre and prices are!

At £1 a cup who can say no? Coffee was good and the pasteries were even better. Great little place to stop off and right next to the market. Well worth a try if you are in the area.

Husband stopped at Parson's after our tour of the cathedral. We had the most delicious Cornish pasty ever! The crust was flaky & wonderful. We also got a sweet treat & were not disappointed. I'll be remembering these goodies for a long time. So goooood!

Such good value - any type of coffee for £1 & such delicious pastries & cakes to go with it! Only a few seats outside but a popular little place & well derives to be!

Situado en el centro de la ciudad, muy cerca de la catedral, viene muy bien para comer algo rápido (salado o dulce) acompañado de un café, antes de comenzar la visita de la ciudad. Buen precio.

Any visit to Wells is not complete without grabbing a Cornish pasty from Parsons. We would rate them the best pasties in Wells.

We needed a quick lunch and bought two pasties, which were brilliant, very tasty and very hot! The doughnuts were great as well!

Take a window seat and watch the world go by in this small friendly Bakers come coffee shop.

This institution, this bakery, one of about 45 branches and expanding, sits on about the best position you could ever wish for with regard to Wells market which ensures a large amount of footfall on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
