Strawberry Line Cafe in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a find. The food is homemade and so tasty. Had the soup and sandwich. Cakes are delicious. Staff are so so kind. It’s a definite 100% marking from me. Hope to return soon

My friend and I visited this cafe for the first time today, having walked the “strawberry line” from Congresbury. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My mushroom and cheese panini with accompanying side salad/crisps was delicious and excellent. Will definitely be back!

Lovely little cafe, freshly cooked food, some vegan options, excellent home made cake, dog allowed in,

We stopped by for a breakfast enroute to a funeral. The menu was fantastic and covered all bases. It was warm and cosy (open fire) and the staff were so kind and friendly. Lots of second hand books for sale too. Highly recommend x

Called here on our way home to the midlands from a stay in Devon. Go and support these lovely people, it’s a charitable organisation supporting people with additional needs in employment. Not only that, the food is delicious, good value and made with high quality ingredients (my husband loved the bacon and the ham in my panini was delicious). Super friendly, accommodating staff who let me sort out my sons lunch myself (he’s fussy) and provided me with bread and butter free of charge. Super experience all round, we have left with full bellies ready for our journey home for well under £20. Thank you 😊

We are regular visitors to the cafe for lunches and have always enjoyed the atmosphere there, as the staff are friendly and helpful. The paninis and jacket potatoes are very good as are the soups especially the parsnip carrot and ginger on a cold day. Also the cakes and biscuits. It is always a treat to visit them,

You can tell this is in an old railway waiting room because, happily, hardly anything has been updated! Even the old-style large radiators are still there, just like at school! We absolutely loved it!! And as for the food - wow, so tasty and generous. We had toasted panini with cheese (proper Cheddar) and chutney plus side dishes, such as crisps, very generous salad, mayonnaise aplenty, all served with smiling eyes peering over the mask. Really pleasant baristresses, very jolly. The toilet (in the other little half of the cafe waiting room) is pristine, too. Everything quirky, historic and cute! We absolutely loved it. We'll be back...

Lovely cafe with lots of choice of hot and cold food and drinks. Really nice atmosphere with clean and tidy tables. Friendly serving staff, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely visit again.

Despite a calamity in the kitchen, with a shelf falling off the wall, the food was excellent. The staff are a credit to you and a special mention to Kevin who kept his cool despite the chaos that ensued . Fantastic service and will definitely be returning.

A wonderful little cafe - we dropped in on a whim after a short walk along the Strawberry Line. The menu is entirely typical for a small cafe - paninis, jacket potatoes, all-day breakfasts, soups - but what came was a lovely surprise! We had a panini and two soups - all homemade and they were absolutely delicious! The soup had great depth of flavour and the bread was clearly freshly made (warm in the middle and crusty on the outside). The staff were also fantastic - they were attentive, professional and wonderfully polite! I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who wants a light snack and mid-morning/afternoon cake. Despite looking tiny, there is a surprising amount of room, with lovely-looking benches outside and a number of tables inside. And to top it off, it's a non-profit community cafe that hires people to help get them work experience!!!

I have visited this cafe a fair few times with my family, the staff are very friendly and chatty, the food is very well presented and tastes lovely. I would recommend the Brie, bacon and cranberry panini and my partner and children would recommend the breakfast. The homemade cakes are delicious and very easy to takeaway for later. Keep up all the hard work, we will see you again very soon 👍🏼😀

I love this place!! Perfect place to stop for a treat after a walk on the Strawberry Line. The panini was lovely and well presented, and the home made cake was absolutely gorgeous! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome, would definitely recommend this place ☺️☺️

Awful customer service, they are in a good location and have survived Covid with enough spare capacity not to care, Like a 1970 Monty Python take on English food ,motorways and greasy spoons, Last order goes to kitchen 1min before two, Coffee machine been cleaned, Instant at same price. No hot food ,(heated) People before us told that's the last bag of crisps as 1of three children selected a bag none for the other children. We hav'nt the staff to get any more from the store room! Ok. They're told they can have Bacon and cheese but cold,oops sorry NO as the,cheese in fridge!!and is that not a good place for it ..no its away untill tomorrow,so cold Bacon, Is the bacon not in a fridge? I assume a different fridge under guard untill tomorrow for the cheese. We are simply told last order goes to kitchen at 1 min to two yep it now dead on two Had we not wasted time complaint to c,19 regs a listen to them would we have got instant coffee and a warmed Artisan Pandemic or Panini ! Computer say no Staff say we are making loads b,,,offf Been before and the food was OK God rest the UK Hostility industries, It's not very Hospitable!

Lovely breakfast, polite service and great to see the building being used in this way. Starred the day off nicely.

Cafe is at the Yatton railway station and we called in when we were catching a train to Weston super Mare. Had a very nice bacon Buttie and a pleasant hot chocolate. Young lady that served us was very pleasant and efficient. Certainly worth giving yourself an extra ten minutes to get a sandwich if you are travelling from this station. Also took away a date and honey flapjack which was delicious.

We love this place! Having a train loving toddler, this place is perfect for watching trains and eating yummy food. We love going for breakfast and lunch. Great menu, friendly service, dog friendly and all round lovely cafe

It’s only a small place but the coffee is always really nice and the cakes are lovely! The staff are very friendly and serve you quickly. There are a couple of tables outside so you can watch the trains go by.. also a good place to get a well earned drink after a cycle along the strawberry line cycle path.

Always good service. We both enjoyed our large freshly brewed coffee's as we waited for our train to arrive.

We stopped off here because it was highly recommended. The food was great (OK it was cake, but to die for), the staff were very friendly. An excellent place to have afternoon tea.

We just had a spot of lunch here today and it was great, you get a warm welcome from the staff who are more than happy to have a chat, the food is all freshly prepared and excellent value for money, and the best thing is that it’s giving local people a job they might not necessarily be able to get elsewhere, please give this place a try and keep the cafe open, well done to all, I hope you have a prosperous Xmas and New year

As the pictures would suggest the Strawberry Line Cafe is located in a couple of the station buildings at Yatton Railway Station. I paid a visit after watching a steam locomotive stop at the station on an organised excursion. The cafe has a good selection of snacks and drinks bearing in mind its size. The pictures on the wall are very much on a railway theme including how the rooms of the cafe looked prior to the conversion from waiting rooms etc..The cafe is basically run by people with learning difficulties with the support of an adult supervisor. If required, an all day breakfast is available and a loyalty card scheme in place. The cafe benefits from the Strawberry Line cyclists however, it deserves support from commuters and locals so please try it and ignore the small amount of poor reviews. Its worth giving the cafe a chance!!

Love this cafe, perfect for a quick bite to eat after a lovely local walk. Staff are super friendly and we love sitting on the actual station platform in the cafe. Excellent.

I am a regular customer at the Strawberry Line Café. The variety of food is fantastic- lots of different homemade specials each week and the quality is always superb. The staff are brilliant and all of them always give you a very warm welcome. I am delighted that they have been offering gluten free and vegan options for some time now, trying their hardest to cater for all. It's doubly wonderful that they offer employment to adults with learning disabilities and despite the challenges that can arise from this, they still provide some of the best food in the area. Go and grab a coffee- it's a fabulous place.

I’ve really tried as a regular commuter each week to give the Strawberry Cafe a chance as its heart is in the right place and employs staff with learning difficulties, but if a good coffee is what your after you’ll be dissapointed.Cappuccino, Latte, Flat White are all on the menu, all come out exactly the same as a weak watery and over milky offering and at £2.50 a hit are not worth getting to the station 10 minutes early for.Keep it simple and just do filter coffee then people won’t have any expectations.

We have made another couple of visits to this little cafe before walking along the Strawberry Line to Congresbury and Sandford. The service is good and the coffee nice. There are also plenty of old photos of Yatton station to see on the walls.

This community cafe is situated in the old waiting room on Yatton station. Nice tea and cake. Needs and deserves support. Seek it out

Had a lovely Flemish stew today, in the cafe home made. There is nothing better than good home made cooking and hot food on a cold day. I noticed they are having a curry evening and I am looking forward to that night next weekend

Lovely little cafe at the station. Really enjoyed popping in here whilst waiting for my train back to London. Brilliant cakes and coffee made for a fantastic hangover cure!

Nice little cafe ran by disabled adults. Dogs welcome in the back garden. Mainly used by cyclists and commuters.

Visited here today as I was walking my dogs along the Strawberry Line and fancied a spot of lunch. There was a wide choice of light lunch options soups, jacket potatoes, sandwiches), I opted for a goat's cheese panini which was cooked to perfection, nice and crisp (not the standard anaemic offering you get in most places) with lots of filling, served with a lovely salad, coleslaw and crisps. I followed this with a delicious, generous slice of home made carrot cake and a latte.

Had a quick drink and a cake while waiting for my train to London. It’s run by a group of volunteers to provide opportunities for young unemployed. Well done for a great work

I only went in to ask about the stations parking. Found it to be a lovely historic and full of character place still in a time of its own making. Lovely and friendly helpful staff. They gave me a free map of the strawberry line cycle route to Cheddar for free when I mentioned that was aiming to cycle down it. I can't wait to come again and actually buy something next time :)

We called in for a Saturday breakfast, and were very impressed! A full English, freshly cooked and on a very hot plate . Definitely better than many local places , reasonable price , and an interesting building

I turned up with 21 cyclists today - I had prewarned cafe staff that maybe there would be ten of us - and they were already busy. They coped so well with not only us but other customers. Of course we had to wait, but the staff were very apologetic. The quiches looked delicious and my sourdough toast was fantastic and crisp and came with a generous portion of jam.

I decided to take the train to a dental appointment & had time to spare on the return journey,

Staff are very friendly and helpful, great range of fresh food and hot and cold drinks, perfect for on a hot day after a lovely bike ride. Yatton station is lucky to have this place there, and the staff make it.

How fantastic and refeshing to see a great little independent cafe on the platform, rather than the usual conglomerates. And we loved their ethos of employing and giving opportunities to those with disabilities. We were served by a very charming, cheery lady and thoroughly enjoyed our tea and cake in the little garden. A fantastic pit stop after a long bike ride and happy to support this great place rather than take our own refreshments.

Lovely little community cafe run by a charity to employ and train people with learning disabilities. Great railway memorabilia and lovely atmosphere. Very handy for railway travellers. My lunch of locally made quiche and salad was ideal and the cake, oh the cake!

We love it here! Friendly and unique. The opportunities they are giving young people are really inspirational. 4 generations in our family enjoyed our Mother’s Day Cream Tea today. On other occasions we have been for breakfast, lunch and have even grabbed a take away coffee on our journey. Keep up the good work SLC. We will be back soon!

I popped in for some lunch whilst working locally and enjoyed a fantastic tomato and lentil homemade soup.

Brilliant friendly cafe. Curry night is absolutely brilliant. Great initiative for the community and commuters alike.

My wife and I called in for a hot drink, lovely smell of homemade soup. Quality of produce here is excellent. A lovely touch is secondhand railway books, so I didn't just buy coffee....

We dropped by for a snack lunch on New Years eve. A lovely atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. We had bacon and egg butties which were were yummy, served with a tea and a coffee. Will continue to use this great little cafe.

An innovative use of the previously vacant waiting room on historic Yatton station. Good for a light lunch, breakfast or a snack and convenient for commuters. A refreshing change from British Railways fare.

Went today hoping for some breakfast before a train journey.

This lovely cafe is on the station at Yatton.... No British Rail rubbish here!

This little cafe is superb..fresh food homemade cakes and lots of choices for hot and cold drinks..

A pleasant little café right on the platform at Yatton railway station, it was presumably at one time a waiting room but has now been given a new lease of life as a not for profit venture, and is certainly very different from most station food outlets. It has quite a homely feel inside with an old fireplace and a book case as well as a few comfy armchairs. There is also a small outside patio area for the warmer weather.

The weather was pretty awful with heavy rain showers being blown along on a strong wind but we were all determined to stick it out on the platform until the Flying Scotsman locomotive had passed through! Then it was into the cafe for hot coffee and delicious home made cake - just the ticket! The cold filled rolls and hot bacon rolls looked being served to other customers looked good too. The staff were very friendly and obliging, and the walls had lots of interesting old posters and photographs of when Yatton station was a busy interchange for trains to the seaside resort of Clevedon and the branch line down to Cheddar and Wells - very interesting.

Great little place to start/finish a family bike ride on the Strawberry line. Lovely fresh flowers on the table and helpful, friendly staff.

Lovely staff, drinks & food reasonable prices. Loo available too. Books to borrow or exchange. Little outside area & garden behind the cafe. Nice place to stop too if on the Strawberry Line walking or cycling.

After a good morning cycling we needed a snack and a coffee. This is at the end of the Strawberry Line and a great place to refuel.Good coffee great homemade cakes and splendid cheddar cheese and pickle rolls. Staff are great and Place cosy and clean. There's a pump outside just in case you get a flat......

A great way to have a bite to eat and drink while waiting for your train. Feels like something out of the 1950's. Small but intimate.Great selection of homemade cakes, sandwiches etc. Hot and cold selection.Worth a visit.

Great little cafe with good service, choices and food. Located at the station however you don't have to be a train traveler with tickets or anything to eat here. Recommend

I love visiting this Café. It is small and friendly. I go on my own or meet up with friends. The food is tasty and nicely presented.

This is a lovely little cafe in the old station buildings. Not only is it a lovely building, by going here you are helping keep the building active and helping the staff learn how to deal with the public. it is a gtreat stoping place before or after (or during) a wlk, run of cycle on the Strawberry line. Ask about the free parking if ou are just stopping for the cafe

Charming, well stocked station cafe, that is intentionally not for profit. In fact, the cafe is run by volunteers, and are part of an local charity initiative. The cafe itself is very comfortable, interesting railway based decor and has great cakes, teas ect.Definitely worth visiting even if you are not travelling by train.

Have been here as the half way point on a bike ride on the strawberry line. Cute little place with good coffee and lots of cakes. Lovely staff too. Would recommend.

This is a lovely little cafe with friendly people and lovely food. Nice to pop in on the way to Strawberry Line

Went in with group of children on a cold wet February morning to be told to leave unless we bought a drink! Needless to say the 4 coffees I was going to buy didn't get bought!

This is a delightful little cafe in the former waiting room and ticket office at Yatton station. It sells food, coffee and other drinks. It also has special evening events such a curry nights. A lovely place to eat and relax when getting the train into Bristol (note you need to cross the bridge for the Bristol train!)

Always good, nice food and drinks, great stop on the strawberry line! Usually busy and rightfully so

Throughly enjoyed my panini here today with homemade coleslaw I would highly recommend it all the homemade cakes looks so yummy

This is a great little cafe. Cosy and full of character. Great food and service! Perfect for train station and Strawberry line ride

I had a decent cup of latte coffee before setting off on a walk along the Strawberry Line. The waitress was friendly and chatty. I also enjoyed the fascinating old photos of Yatton Station that adorn the walls, there are a number of railway books and magazines to browse as well. I noted that home made gluten free cake is normally available.

What a lovely little station cafe. Different types of tea, helpful service and an area to sit & free WIFI.

Lovely little café on the Strawberry Line at Yatton Station.Stopped for Coffee and Cake - all very good and even though they had obviously had a very busy Sunday there was still plenty of cake for us to choose from.Nice cup of coffee served promptly. Deserve to do well.

We popped in for lunch before a walk along the Strawberry Line. Community run.....what a great idea. We enjoyed freshly made soup with sour dough bread and hubby enjoyed a large ham and cheese roll. Followed by flapjack and carrot cake ( so huge we took half home) Very reasonably priced and well prepared. Would definitely recommend and return

An excellent place to have breakfast or morning snack before setting off on foot or bike along the Strawberry Line to Cheddar and when you get back then what better place for late lunch or tea / coffee and cake !!!Excellent place for both walkers and cyclistsOr when the steam train specials come through its a nice place to have a drink and something to eat whilst you waitThis is a small charity that has been allowed to use the old waiting room at the station and what a fantastic job they are doing. Will I return, you bet

Step back in time by visiting this café and enjoy good food whist surrounded by photos and reminders of the old age of steam trains. Bought a superb book, The Ghost Train, which details the Strawberry Line's history.

Stopped off here rather wet after cycling the Strawberry Line from Cheddar. Huge piece of delicious carrot cake got us going again with enough energy for the return leg. Friendly staff and although we only had coffee and cake, it looked like a good menu.

4 of us stopped here for coffee while out for a cycle ride from Bristol The flapjacks were fab It is a great stopping off point

This must be one of the very best places on the uk rail network!! Delightful character-filled place with great breakfast snacks, at amazing prices. I will be back!!!

Love this quaint little cafe. At ease from the moment one steps through the door. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Great little cafe awesome for a stop before or after the strawberry line. Stopped here twice in the past and it's really nice. Also buy the home made lemon cake ! It's just as nice !

Today during our Leg from Aust to Tiverton, we came across this lovely café. The Coffee and especially the cakes were fantastic. We got chatting with the proprietor who also gave us a lovely potted history about the Yatton Station and Strawberry line. I highly recommend a visit :-)

Relaxed atmosphere delicious coffee served by friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked well done

It supports the community and the staff are very friendly. Slightly expensive but it's for a good cause and the drink and food is great

We like to pop in here for brunch before setting off on our bike rides. The good is always decent and the service is friendly. A good starting point if you're heading off down the Strawberry Line.

Lovely traditional station cafe. A welcome sight if you are cycling from Cheddar to Yatton along the the Strawberry line. Good food and homemade cakes.

Very welcome and for a very good cause. Especially the coffe and local supplied chocolate. Enjoy a relaxed rest after a cycle down the Strawberry line.

Great community cafe in the restored station buildings at Yatton station . Good ( and huge) portions of homemade cake, tasty light meals as well. Interesting pictures on the wall and books to look at. Outside seating area is sunny, but rather adjacent to the car park, but hey, it us a station after all. Four and a half stars really, not 5 because of the rather thin coffee and fact that it shuts early in the afternoon.

First visit to Yatton and popped in for a drink whilst waiting for my taxi. Really surprised at how nice and cosy the cafe was and how friendly the staff were too. Only had time for a drink (visited again at the end of the day whilst waiting for my train) but will, if visiting again, make time to sample the food as menu looked very appetising and looked to be excellent value for money too.

When Dr Beeching decreed that the Strawberry Line be axed in 1963 he could not have foreseen that 50 years later what a cosy refuge from the winter weather the former waiting room could have become. We visited The Strawberry Line Cafe on a cold day and after a friendly welcome we were served great coffee and hot chocolate and we also enjoyed some luscious melt in the mouth cake too. Great stopping off point when walking the Strawberry Line. Note all the car parking spaces are pay and display.

Great place to call in for refreshment, before catching your train, after walking the Strawberry Line or just for the pleasure of it. Clean, cosy surroundings, friendly welcome and good choice of snacks and light lunches.

Entered the cafe with two children to escape the weather (under the impression it was a place to wait and shelter whilst waiting for a train) immediately presented with a lady saying this is not a waiting room!!! Even before we had sat down !' If we had been able to sit down I would have bought a coffee and two drinks. She was rude. What a shame!

Welcome stop on a bike ride or dog walk. Lovely bacon sandwiches and cakes. Seems to be quite popular.

Lovely, cosy cafe. All for a fantastic cause. Polite and friendly staff. Amazing homemade cakes. Brilliant place to stop for light lunch after our Sunday strawberry line walk.

Lovely, cosy cafe. Brilliant place to stop for light lunches after a Sunday strawberry line walk. Friendly and helpful staff. All done for a fantastic cause. I will be back.

Lovely restored café served by warm and friendly staff - coffee best in North Somerset - even Somerset - even South West - can't beat home made cakes and choice of cooked food excellent, freshly cooked from local sourced suppliers.

This is a place to look forward to when you want a light meal or snack, whether you are travelling by train, on foot or by bike, (Right by the station car park). Home cooking, beautifully served & great value for money. Whenever we are in Yatton we head for this place which is used by lots of different people. It seems to be a charitable foundation for training youngsters in the catering trade, which also impressed us.

Brilliant, little gem on the strawberry line. Nice simple snacks, tea, coffee, cold drinks and homemade delicious cakes on offer. Bee were given a really warm welcome, tour of the small but impressive railway memorabilia museum. We then had our coffee and cake in an open train wagon... Great experience all round.

We stopped at this little cafe on our way back from Cheddar after cycling there via the strawberry line. The location is lovely, the staff very friendly and the tea was lovely. Looking forward to the next visit!

Lovly coffe n cake for my trip away. The staf are very freindly. Need more cafe like this :) will be back on my next train trip or i might just pop in as the cakes are lovly homemade

Always very friendly staff, lovely coffee and delicious home made lunches and cakes. Always grab a coffee before work and pop in for lunch when I can. Keep up the good work!

found this cafe on Yatton station whilst doing the strawberry line cycle ride nice welcome and tea/coffee was excellent good service would use again and highly recommend it

I've visited here on many occasions since it opened (that's a recommendation in itself) and I have nearly always found the staff friendly and chatty if you want that and the coffee, tea and cakes of a high standard. I only had the breakfast here once and it was one of the best I've eaten. Whether waiting for a train, as a break after a walk or as a destination in itself, this delightful little cafe is recommended, especially if you like trains!

we ate here as a group recently before doing a 25mile cycle ride. We ordered hot drinks, toast, tea cakes and a bacon and egg sandwich, all were great. The cakes look delicious and I can't wait to visit after Easter to have one of them!

We had just completed the Strawberry Line trail and were delighted to find this railway station cafe open on a damp and dreary winter's afternoon. This is in contrast to so many neglected station cafes where you have to wait on a cold and miserable platform for your train. The food and drink was reasonably priced. I also understand it is helping to support people with learning disabilities, so is well worth supporting as you are getting your refreshments and they are benifiting from the employment.

I usually try and arrive for my train with enough time to pop in for a coffee or snack. The bacon sandwich is an excellent breakfast bite as are the salads, cakes and sandwiches on offer. It even makes up for waiting for a train running late!
