Strangers with coffee in Mendip

The coffee is spectacularly good, the cakes are gorgeous and the ambience is relaxed and friendly. It’s a delight to visit places like this.

Friendly service. Nice window seats for watching the world go by. Great coffee but the highlight is home made cakes. Even the pastries. So rare!

Exceptional coffee, one of the best I've had. We came near to closing time, and the owner was very lovely and let us stay at our lesiure. Great customer servie, had a variety of coffies, and all were exemplary.

Fantastic coffee great friendly service. A refreshing change to the usual coffee places. Clean and welcoming premises.

lovely cafe and great coffee, friendly and relaxed. A pleasant courtyard to sit in- hard to write 100 words but ..... glad we went there.

This hidden gem does the best coffee in Wells. It's only small but the owners know their coffee. Even the decaf tasted amazing. Tasty selection if good cakes too.

I've been visiting Strangers for a few years now and even with the change of owners, I'm yet to be let down. The coffee and customer service is always meeting a consistently high standard. Prices are also reasonable, especially for the quality of the coffee...

Superb coffee, lovely hot chocolate and good tea too. Excellent service but the crowning glory was the beans on toast because it's no ordinary BoT - toast, then beans, then topped with wafer thin slices of chorizo, then a poached egg and finished off with...

So before entering a restaurant on Wells main Street, I decided to check TripAdvisor as we fancied something light for lunch. Luckily Strangers with Coffee was right up there. We arrived at around half 1 on a Tuesday so it wasnt that busy. The waitress...

Popped in for breakfast whilst staying in Wells, based on reviews. Sat out in the courtyard which was so peaceful and a nice suntrap. The coffee and tea were excellent, imaginatively served and high quality. My husband had the Strangers special breakfast; put in its...

We researched a good coffee shop in Wells while planning our trip o/s from Australia. We were not disappointed. Lovely friendly coffee shop with seriously good coffee!

I was a little nervous visiting since a recent change of hands at Strangers. I am pleased to tell you that the coffee is still excellent, the beans, chorizo and poached egg on toast is still excellent and now there is a superb hot chocolate...

Came to Wells for the weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday. Called into Strangers with Coffee for a light lunch when we arrived and received a warm welcome, excellent tea & coffee and a cracking roast beef sandwich. Service is quick & friendly. A perfect...

A return flying visit had a wonderful Ethiopian espresso and delicious Swiss roll. Really set us up for the day.so glad to see Tom really so passsioate at his craft...the very best in wells by a country mile...ps went back for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed their local ham salad sandwich in arti,san bread, two visits in one day.welll done strangers with coffee,

We came across this little cafe in Wells (having looked it up on Trip Advisor!) and the service was lovely. It was great that they served gluten free cake and they had a sugar free cake as well. Lovely ambience too.

Great coffee, excellent gluten free cake selection and dog friendly in the courtyard. Couldn’t ask for anything more! So much nicer than the chain coffee shops.

On a wet Saturday in Wells we popped in here out of the rain. It’s dog friendly in the small courtyard out the back which is covered over. How many times to you buy bad coffee out of coffee shops ! Well you won’t here,...

Thursday morning 9th, Just happened to stumble into this place and there was parking outside (30mins max), very nice coffee, friendly, and try the sausage rolls real tasty sausage meat, difference in sizes so who picks the smallest?...answer. ....not me! Recommended

This cafe has recently been taken over and the new owner is friendly and knowledgeable. We only had coffee but it was delicious and beautifully presented. The small courtyard is cosy but comfortable with cushions. We would visit again as much nicer than some of...

Great to find consistently great coffee cakes and lunch. Made our day. Keep up the good work.....if you are in wells and love coffee make this place your first destination.

Excellent coffee in this cosy cafe. Not many tables but the coffee and the surroundings make it worth it.

I recently visited Strangers With Coffee - since it has been taken on by new owners. Leaving Newcastle at 530am, it took a taxi, plane and car ride to get there for breakfast by 9 but it was well worth it. Welcomed like an old...

Esta es una maravillosa tienda de café que sirve también maravillosa casa tartas caseras y deliciosos aperitivos. Nos tomamos un café y un bocadillo tocino y huevos. En una ocasión anterior que probamos los deliciosos pasteles y ver a los almuerzos que estaban sirviendo ... Creo que volveremos a probar otras cosas del menú. Enhorabuena a los propietarios para hacer de esto un destino para nosotros cada vez que venga a Wells!

Coffee best in Wells, friendly service, cakes wonderful, go there every time we are in town and so much better than a chain coffee house.

Popped in to meet a friend, very impressed with the different types of coffee plus the knowledge & recommendations of the guy behind the counter, also had a lovely cherry cake..I will be returning soon

Nipped in here for a coffee to takeaway - it was amazing tasting coffee! Shame we did not have time to stay and try some of the food as it all looked gorgeous! Friendly staff and nice decor too!

As a local anyone visiting wells should avoid the coffee chains on the high street and pop into this gem, best coffee and in the summer has a lovely outside garden, great for food, located opposite st cuthberts church.

Well I have to be honest, have only stopped in there the once - so far - as I was visiting wells for the day for a meeting. Great atmosphere, the staff all made me very welcome and nothing was to much trouble for them. there was a good, varied menu, but on this occasion I only had the soup, and what a wonderful bowl of soup it was, certainly homemade, full of character. Will look forward to my next visit and maybe write more about the menu.

The cafe offered a great selection of carefully chosen dishes; which all had a nutritious twist to them. Friendly, family run business and all food was freshly prepared using good quality produce. I had the home made falafel and my partner, the ham and onion tart..... Yum! There was a great selection of cakes for afters; including some gluten free options. Will definitely be returning to this great find in Wells.

Visited today after reading tripadvisor reviews. Lovely place with a great welcome. Food was lovely . Not a chip in sight. Lovely menu . This was our first visit but will not be our last. All freshly made . We had lunch but definitely coffee and home made cake next time.

I can't praise this place highly enough.Been here a couple of times and had such a good experience on each occasion. The staff are so friendly and inviting, and the menu is good with hot and cold food plus a wide choice of drinks.I've only ever had a sandwich (the roast beef one is my favorite) but its so fresh and well presented and really efficient service! If you're in Wells then check this place out because it really sums up what Wells is about. I will be back again for sure!

fabulous little cafe just off the beaten track. Best latte I have ever tasted! Super friendly owners and delicious wraps and sandwiches.Perfection.

Great coffee and & great cake. Can't see why the chains are all full when this is round the corner. Friendly & accommodating too.

My Husband and I visited this gorgeous little cafe last week, after being recommend by my little sister. When we arrived after finally getting parked due to a busy Saturday. We we greeted by a very friendly chap and he took us to a table for two. He told us all the specials on the menu and told us he had a selection of cakes at the counter too. Sadly we had both had breakfast so didn't want too much to eat so we just went for a cake and a drink. My husband had a latte and a pear and ginger cake which was a very good size slice and tasted gorgeous. I had a hot chocolate and a chocolate brownie, which again was good size and very tasty! The cafe was full and there was often people popping in and out getting take out drinks. The owners seemed very friendly and it was apparent people enjoyed coming to get their drinks and having a chat. We will be back to this cafe and we both would love to try their food too. Owners should be proud of what they have achieved. I will be recommending this place to many.

This little cafe has the best coffee in Wells, the staff are smiley and knowledgable about their product, there is a little courtyard garden and great interior decor. Also a range of fantastic homemade cakes! Avoid going to the shops on the High street and come here instead!

We had a lovely lunch at Strangers when passing through Wells recently. The tea, coffee and food were all excellent as was the service. If in the area it is certainly worthwhile making a detour, in our view, to the best place to eat or have a coffee in Wells!

My flat white was made perfectly and the homemade cake was very nice. The food menu looked good, so I'd love to go back!

Great coffee, great food, great service: the best cafe I've ever eaten / drunk in. We had a very limited time in Somerset - but made the time to come back for round 2 before the holiday ended.

Spent three nights in wells and wished I had more just to have more of their amazing coffee. The owner was so friendly and had a great chat with him. Honestly didn't want to leave the place. Melburnians can be coffee snobs but this place would please even the toughest critics.

My husband and I visited in July after spending a month in Scotland and the UK, were really missing good coffee.Ian put us right! The coffee is just wonderful as are the cakes. The cafe is adorable and the owners are delightful.If you are in Wells strangers with coffee is a must!!

When we are in Wells we always pop into Strangers with Coffee, it is tucked away next to St. Cuthberts church. The coffee is superb and the food is nice for a healthy lunchtime meal.

We popped in here for a coffee on arriving in Wells and ended up staying for lunch. Ivan and Susan have created a lovely haven of home cooked food and delicious coffee off the beaten track here in this small city. Ivan is a welcoming host and nothing was too much trouble. We had a nice glass of house white wine while Susan rustled up our lunches. I had a great chicken liver pate with lots of toast and a very sticky onion jam. Really good flavours. My boyfriend has the poached egg on chorizo - also very tasty. He almost licked the plate clean. Good value for money and what was really impressive was Ivan's hosting skills, he chatted to everyone, remembered everyone's names and even congratulated one regular on his A Level results. His warmth makes the atmosphere here even more special. We left with a takeaway coffee which was also excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Needed coffee to warm up after a visit to the cathedral and a very soggy walk along the High Street in the rain, so went here on the basis of TripAdvisor reviews. Quite simply the best coffee we've ever tasted. Definitely worth visiting this little gem.

I live in Italy and a good coffee to start the day is essential. Everytime I visit England I am dismayed at the horrendous coffee served up in so called coffee shops. Then I discovered 'Strangers with Coffee', tucked away from the centre of Wells just past St Cuthert's Church. Wow, my caffe Latte was the best I had ever tasted in England and it made my day. Needless to say, I returned the next morning too. I also went back for a lovely vegi lunch. But make sure you book for a meal as it is small and very popular. Highly recommended - June Finnigan Writer.

We googled "best coffee in Wells", this place came up, we went and it did not disappoint! There were 12 of us, but the staff weren't phased at all- so welcoming in fact. And when we asked for the difference between coffees the guy came and explained them all to us! It's great to have someone who has real coffee knowledge instead of just being able to work the machine! We weren't rushed or hurried on and it was a much needed decent cup of coffee in the midst of a week of camping! Am considering driving the 2 hours from home to go visit again!

Tucked away off the main hustle of Wells High Street, this delightful coffee shop was a great find. The owners welcomed me warmly and the decor was extremely pleasant and well thought out. The shop was small, but had an outdoor seating area which would have been lovely had the weather been in my favour. The coffee itself was delicious, and with so many coffee shops and cafes in Wells, it is astounding that it manages to stand out as much as it does.

The coffee here is the best I have tasted in Europe. Food is beautifully cooked and presented and all cakes hand baked on site. The service in This little gem of a cafe is so good that one feels very welcome and well cared for. If in for breakfast, try the organic free range scrambled eggs on artisan baked wholemeal toast. Yum! Set me up for the day!

The title says it all- at least the best we've had in our month travelling from Cornwall to Scotland, at 3 coffees a day in over 100 different cafes. First was the latte, creamy and smooth with that real coffee kick that is so hard to find without being bitter. On returning after a sightseeing day around Wells, I had a flat white, and blow me down if it wasn't even better! Smooth with a hint of caramelised vanilla and again that sweet coffee bite. Good choice of snacks and very friendly staff- I think the owner is also the barista. His waitress (I think his wife) even turns the cup handle around to suit the handedness of the customer. Just a little thing, but it's attention to detail like this that makes great coffee. It's a few minutes walk from the town centre (opposite St Cuthbert's Church) and well worth the effort. In fact, if Wells was not a wonderful city to visit, this cafe on its own would justify a trip.

If you like Italian coffee but happen to be in mid Somerset, then I would say this would be a good option. Really good coffee but also a nice relaxed place for a light lunch.Home made pate was excellent & with very friendly service. Location is in St Cuthbert Street which is just opposite St Cuthberts Church & only a few hundred metres away from the high street in Wells. Worth the slight detour.

With out a doubt the best coffee in Wells. Reasonably priced and nice and cosy inside. The barista never fails to deliver.

Most stand out feature was the kind, accommodating and helpful staff who make you feel right at home in this lovely little coffee shop!The sandwiches we had were so fresh and tasty, the portion sizes were also really generous!Will definitely be returning again soon!

If you're in Wells you must go here - in fact even if you're not in Wells drive there and go to this coffee shop. Specialist, superb, wonderful coffee. Also a fantastic welcome with a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back as soon as we can - many times.

Stopped here for lunch when visiting Wells. They had a good selection of lunch options, mainly sandwiches and salads but with a few great sounding specials. We had a wrap and a salad both of which were very good. Had a coffee after eating which was also very good. Service was friendly and attentive. Great value too. Would highly recommend

There are a lot of coffee shops in Wells but this one is by far the best, in fact I do believe its a speciality coffee shop. It's my favourite place. My friend always orders the poached eggs for breakfast which he would thoroughly recommend.

This review is probably 16 months too late but I can assure you that I have visited here on numerous occasions and can state that the service, quality and overall experience you will receive here will be nothing short of exemplary. The coffee is one of the many factors that sets this wonderful gem of a place ahead of the multi national coffee chain shops in the city - the flat white is a MUST!! Ivan delivers the best flat white in Somerset - don't just take my word for it go in and try it. In the kitchen is Susan is producing exquisitely tasty dishes and mouth watering cakes - if you don't have a slice of the gluten free Spanish Almond cake then you are missing out on a slice of baking heaven. Aside from the delicious cakes that Mary Berry would be wanting to try Susan also creates the meals served there which are produced using locally sourced ingredient renowned for taste.Did you ever watch 'Cheers' the bar where everybody knows your name? Well walking into Strangers with Coffee is just like that - you will receive a warm welcome be it your first or fiftieth visit. On my first return visit I was stunned when Ivan greeted me using my name - you won't get that at your Starbucks or Cafe Nero.To anyone wishing to visit then please note that you will need cash as there are no card machines which is refreshing in this day. The coffee and food are all very reasonably priced. You may only go in for coffee but you will find it almost impossible to resist trying a cake, sandwich or more so pop some cash in your pocket.If you want to have one of the most welcoming and delicious of visits to Wells then simply walk along the street by the stunning St.Cuthbert's church and you will find 'Strangers' - it is only minutes from the main street. Take time out of your day and visit Susan and Ivan, they would love to see you.If you like your coffee and want to share your experience with others then review 'Strangers' on Beanhunter http://bit.ly/1RVDS3P lets get this place known so we can all enjoy it.*First visited approximately February 2014. Last visited June 2015*If it were possible to provide a rating higher than excellent then I would.

Uh-oh. My daughter has beaten me to it. What can I add?Fine ingredients used with flair, imagination - lovingly prepared and presented.On serving my meal, Susan explained that she had made another type of tapenade. As we were leaving, she asked for my opinion. It was, of course, superb.The Croque Madame/Monsieur looked wonderful. A million miles away from anything I have seen served in ParisThe person offering the less praiseworthy review deserves sympathy. Having a bad day, perhaps? Mean spirited.....Word of advice.... Book ahead.Suitable for children with well behaved parents!Excellent value. "Cheap" is a word I abhor.

Usually pop in for their delicious coffee, but I was treated to lunch today. What a super menu. I had the Frittata of the day, veg and feta cheese with warm honey glazed potatoes and salad. My Mum had the tapenade and hummus spread with pitta bread and wholemeal bread. The food is second to none, it may be a small establishment, but the food they serve could pack a restaurant 3 times the size. Staff so polite, service perfect. No where else in Wells even comes close to this charming place. Suggest you book at lunch time as they get busy!

found this place by accident , great service and food and would highly recommend , I will visit again soon

Wonderful service , excellent array of home made cakes and lovely coffee. Outside seating area charming.Owners to be commended on getting this intimate venue spot on .Well done. We will be back for lunch next !

Coffee heaven. Owners are clearly passionate about their coffee and food. They deserve to succeed. Wish it was nearer to home as we would be regulars.They accommodated us for breakfast and were so welcoming and flexible about the menu. Can highly recommend the frittata and accompanying home made chutney.

A magical place that shouldn’t exist but does, coffee paradise in the southwest, never mind Wells, a place where service and quality go hand in hand with the very best and carefully sourced coffee from Allpress and fantastic home cooked food (and here it really is!).Hidden away in St Cuthbert’s St is this veritable gem, a shining beacon that puts all the national coffee chains to shame as nothing is mass produced here but everything is handcrafted with love and dedication.Ivan and Susan truly are masters of their trade and this Coffee temple must be seen to be believed and the coffee…….aah that is simply “Heaven in a cup”. So what better way to enjoy a cup of the finest coffee that you will ever taste than to visit Strangers with Coffee in St Cuthbert’s St, Wells and sit in their idyllic courtyard and relax with Allpress…. A heavenly experience!

Great coffee & joyful to meet the owners who have such a passion & knowledge for their coffee! So would really recommend that you make the effort to find this little gem & enjoy a variety of coffees beautifully prepared!

Went here a few weeks back with a friend but took my Dad this time. Just like last time, one of the best cappuccinos I have ever had - they know their coffee. Went for the brie, rocket and chilli jam panini this time which was fantastic, would love to buy a jar of the chilli jam.Just a nice relaxing little coffee shop with extremely friendly staff. Well recommend it.

We were lucky to find the cafe open for the first day after several weeks being closed due to the owners being involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, there wasn't a full menu for lunch due to Susan not yet being fully recovered, but the beef sandwich was lovely. As for the coffee - we had two cups each, it was delicious. I would recommend a visit here whilst in Wells, a must on your itinerary.

Love this quiet coffee shop where the coffee is made with love and enthusiasm for a quality product. Fabulous home made cakes to go with your cuppa... so gorgeous you want to eat it all over again!!

We paid a visit today having seen the reviews on TA and we weren't disappointed. Good service, lovely food and very cosy ... Well Done ... We'll be back!!

We called in for a snack just before,what a surprise,the host was very obliging and nothing was too much trouble,I had the pate with pickle and toast,I asked for some more pickle which brought for me and then asked if wanted some pate which I said yes to,also he offered more toast which I declined,and he did not charge any more for the extras,great food and service.

I love coffee and coffee shops. This cafe - it has had several owners over the past few years - has all the right signs and the owner makes all the right noises. I have visited 5 times. The place is rather crowded and condensation is an issue but it is OK with a small outside area (smokers sadly use it) and comfy seats. What is not OK is when ordering a coffee to have chocolate plonked in it. To be told when asking that 99.9 per cent of people like chocolate on their coffee - and that all cappuccinos have chocolate in the mix - is not what I wanted to hear. It was good coffee but was made bitter by the chocolate - in my opinion. I do not want to be given a lecture and made to feel as if I am somehow in the very small 0.1 per cent that don't like chocolate on or in their coffee. My son tasted it and said that it was sickly coffee - he had a hot chocolate that was good he said. The owner said that their cafe was in the top 5 and was asking customers to vote for it in an award - giving out cards to go online. In my experience a really good cafe speaks for itself - or at least the coffee does - over inflated opinions by the owner or staff are not necessary. Perhaps stick to the hot chocolate or have tea....

This place is perfect. The passionate owners have created a warm, welcoming, and intimate space with the finest coffee, and the finest light lunches you will find anywhere.I defy anyone to visit this place and not come away 100% happy that they did.It is slightly off the beaten track in Wells, but still very close to the shops (perhaps a 30 second walk away!).We will find an excuse every time we visit Wells to visit Strangers With Coffee. But beware, during lunch time it gets full very quickly so plan ahead or opt for morning or afternoon.

I agree with the reviews already on here, which were the reason a friend and I visited this establishment - and we were not disappointed. Will eat lunch next time as there were some interesting wraps on the menu. What a difference from the chain coffee shops (there are three in Wells). We gave our order and it was brought to our table without having to stand in a lengthy queue amidst the sounds of very noisy machinery, which was definitely a boon. Very relaxing ambience.

How delightful to find somewhere where one is welcomed on arrival. We had a great lunch, finishing with cake still warm from the ovenThey deserve all success.

I researched this café prior to leaving Australia for our holiday. A good coffee is hard to find in a lot of places in England BUT we found one!! Went back a few times whilst in Wells for 4 nights. Thanks Ivan for a great flat white just how we like it.

Visited this charming coffee shop purely on the back of the excellent reviews here on trip advisor. We were not disappointed at all - a warm welcome, a cosy environment and a perfectly suited menu, with a variety of cakes, sandwiches and light lunch dishes. We ordered a starter for two of olives, oil, balsamic vinegar and bread which was tasty and excellent value, especially considering we were given additional bread. I had a superb flat white coffee which I can honestly say was one of the finest coffees I have ever had. We rounded things off with a slice of lime and blueberry cake which was homemade and every bit as delicious as the rest of the experience. When the bill came we were pleasantly surprised at how affordable our time at Strangers with Coffee had been. I strongly recommend for anyone who is living in or visiting Wells.

I wouldn't claim to be the most discerning coffee drinker normally, but the coffee here is truly exceptional.Very small but definitely worth seeking out.

What a find in Wells!! We were really missing a great coffee and then we found it. Well done To Ivan and Susan, great service, coffee and soup. Great attention to detail, not only with their coffee but also in their care for customers.

I have only ever visited Strangers a couple of times although I live in Wells, however I can say with pride that having tasted numerous coffees from around the country in speciality local coffee shops, this one in Wells is simply the best! The atmosphere is also amazing with lots of coffee related decor and different options of beans and how you would like your coffee made (coldpress, filter, aeropress and of course espresso!). I have never tasted a better coffee and also have purchased some Allpress beans from here and will continue to purchase them as opposed to my usual Illy ones as they really do take the biscuit.

Having lived in Melbourne Australia for 10 years I was spoilt with high quality coffee roasting cafes. Unfortunately the UK market has been swamped with Starbucks, Nero and Costa coffee shops who don't have a clue what coffee is. Luckily Wells has been saved by Ivan & Susan who source All Press beans (and other guest beans). Ivan is a student of the coffee industry and is incredibly passionate. He competes in the national barrister championships so drinking coffee here is a real treat.Susan is the other half of the story, her home made cakes (often 3 or 4 to chose from per day) and her fabulous cooked breakfasts and lunch make this place the must visit cafe in Wells if you want a real coffee and fabulous, home made, good value food.There are always good tunes on the stereo and beers and wines on offer if you fancy a mid afternoon tipple!

By far and away the best coffee I've had in Somerset Ivan and Susan are such good hosts and home baked cakes are to die for. Susan also makes the best scrambled eggs I have eaten. All food freshly prepared and well worth the detour away from the high street.

We take very seriously, and are fortunate to be able to seek out speciality coffee wherever we travel. Stangers with Coffee - definitely worthy of dredging up any old excuse to get to Wells. Great flat white & cappuccino - lovingly presented. Seldom scrap the cup clean - did today!

By sheer chance we parked in the street nearly opposite this small coffee shop at lunchtime on our visit to Wells. What a find ! We are from Melbourne Australia & miss our coffee when we travel to UK but Ivan brewed up 2 double espresso's to equal the best. We chose a sandwich & chicken wrap for lunch which was home-made & tasty. Ivan & his wife have created a great atmosphere, friendly & cosy - if you are in Wells, its definitely worth visiting.

My wife and I thought we'd try this place for lunch as it was rated number one on trip advisor. And now we know why!Great friendly service and food full of flavour, worth every penny. We will be going back to sample more of the menu too.

The best coffee in the area is found I this cosy family run restaurant. Service is excellent and the home cooked food is amazing. Try the Haloumi and Houmous burger with fruity chutney. Yum! The cakes are really good, so waist lines are at risk! It's so nice to be served with care and consideration by people who really know their stuff and to find a quiet corner of this lovely city to relax and enjoy some delicious coffee.

Very well made coffee from AllPress, Clifton and guest roasters. The best cold brew I've tasted anywhere. Great food too. Well worth seeking out, as it's slightly off the beaten track in Wells, although only a few hundred yards from the main street.

We went there because it was close to the church and looked cute from the outside. They were very friendly and the coffee was great.

We sought out this little unprepossessing coffee house after reading trip advisor reviews and were really pleased we did: the coffees were excellent in quality and served by the owner who clearly knows and loves his coffees. The chocolate brownie also went down well....in fact all the food looked home made and high quality. If you really know your coffee then this is the place for you....well worth the stroll to find it and a world away from the coffee chain cafes

A little bit off the beaten track but worth looking for. The coffee is just as good as the other reviews say and the staff couldn't be more welcoming. We will definitely return - and have cake next time

I love everything about this place :) it is my favourite spot and I can not put in to words just how lovely Ivan and Susan are. Everything in Strangers is of excellent quality. Their homemade cakes are so mouth watering that even if I go in there just for coffee...there is a 100% chance I will cave in to temptation! My favourites are the chocolatey brownies and the chocolate and orange sponge - YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!The coffee is the best in Wells, made to perfection - Ivan is the best coffee barista around!I have introduced many people to this place and none have been disappointed.If you do go to Wells you must find this hot spot of temptation!oh and i forgot to mention their menu is very tasty - especially the scrambled egg and chorizo wrap and their hearty sanies!

Called in for cake and coffee. Yummy cake and their espresso is a 10/10 for me. Certainly worth checking out when visiting Wells.

At last - found a coffee shop worthy of the name in lovely Wells. A little off the beaten track, but only a short walk from the "city" centre - yes, Wells is a city, albeit the smallest in England! Enjoyed a great flat white, prepared with care and skill by the lovely owners. Will be a regular stop when we visit I'm sure.

You get a real yorkshire welcome at this cafe, great selection of coffee and delicious cakes, definitely worth a walk from the main street.

Stopped in Wells to see friends who have become locals here since moving from Melbourne. Ivan makes the best coffee we have found outside of Melbourne while travelling. Not only were we treated Ivan's great coffee but also sampled some of Susan's delicious cake. Great coffee, food and service. Thanks for the treat on a Sunday afternoon.

Great atmosphere, great owners, establishment run with pride, excellent coffee and as a side I would recommend the liver pate - gorgeous !!

We found Strangers with Coffee by chance on the way to Glastonbury. We stopped for a late lunch and it was very tasty. Ivan was very friendly + explained the menu to us. Service was quick + Susan's food was tasty. The black coffee over ice was a great pick me up. The cafe has interesting postcards/fliers + coffee sacks + knick knacks but isn't too cluttered.We popped in for coffee + cake the next morning + Ivan remembered us asking us about our trip to neighbouring Glastonbury. The lime + coconut cake was fresh out of the oven :o) It's not the cheapest place in the world but for fresh, tasty coffee + food it is worth it + better value than the big chains who won't take the time to get to know or remember their customers.

We are regular visitors, great coffee, wonderful roast beef sandwiches and sensational cakes! The owners are always very friendly and attentive, look forward to our next visit.

Stopped here while it was raining and sat down to have a coffee. The owner and his wife were so friendly and helpful. They gave us lots of tips on where to go, both in Wells and London(our next stop). Coffee was some of the best we've had in the UK. Also had a lovely homemade hummingbird cake, delicious! Definitely stop here and have a chat with the owners, they are really great!

Came across this place by accident as we were looking for somewhere to escape the rain and get a bite to eat. The owners were so welcoming, the choice of food was excellent with a varied range of wraps etc and despite the place being small we never felt rushed or hemmed in. After speaking to the owner we found that the café was dog friendly with a covered rear raised decked courtyard and that we were welcome to bring our dog at anytime. We took them up on their offer a few days later and returned with dog in tow for coffee and cake. The rear courtyard was cosy and secluded and Rupert (the dog) was delighted to be presented with his own fresh water bowl and dog biscuits. I can not recommend this place enough - my only complaint that it is in Wells and we live in the West Midlands - we need them to relocate!

My family and I popped in this morning and it was already getting busy. There was a welcoming atmosphere and we were greeted as soon as we entered. Inside is small, but beautifully decorated and there is also an outside seating area. The best part was the coffee. We all had different drinks, which we all presented beautifully. I can also highly recommend the homemade cakes, which were amazing! This is definitely the best coffee shop in Wells.

Small but varied choice of food run side saddle with the classic basics of a very good coffee house. If your a costa fan who likes the bitter tasting coffee then you may find their coffee blend a little too mellow, but for me and my wife the coffee flavour was smooth and very paleatable. The food was presented well and all home baked including the tacos themselves.The owners are pleasent and attentive.Overall an excellent little coffee house that servers good cooked food

If you appreciate good coffee and like a friendly welcome then you must visit Strangers with Coffee. The coffee really is the best in town, the food is homemade and really tasty and you are made to feel very welcome.

My friend and I had breakfast here last week. The coffee was delicious and the toast was just what we needed. Local bread and scrumptious marmalade. Warm welcome and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!
