The service was really friendly, the menu had vegan and vegetarian choices, and the food was good and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back. Gary's service was excellent!

I have recently started frequenting Taunton Tescos Cafe with my Autistic son, I felt compelled to write a review because honestly the food is really good here! For a cheap and cheerful cafe the food is lovely and freshly cooked by a very young but brilliant team. They always have a smile on their faces and seem to work together very well 🙂

I asked for a cup of tea to take away and a bacon roll. Well, it took the lady 5 minutes just to process it on the till. The tea came quickly, and the bacon roll didn't. Bacon roll: the bacon was cold! The roll was stale, and there was so much spread in there that it overpowered the bacon. I did ask for no spread, so I can't eat my roll. The dogs had my breakfast. Well, I will not be returning anytime soon if that's how they treat their customers.

Dreadful waited over 45 minutes for our food while priority was given to food delivery collections, we had to extend the 90 minute parking for our coffee! I had an appointment to get to, dreadful stressful experience I wont be repeating. We had a breakfast and half of it was cold because it wasnt all cooked at the same time.

A pretty soulless ambiance as are most cafes in supermarkets to be fair. That said the breakfast was okay and well priced (coffee/tea is extra). Not somewhere to meet up for a social get together, but if you are just looking for somewhere cheap and convenient to eat then this place will do.

The one star is for the very young lady who served myself and my husband, as for the women who did the cooking, well we just couldn't believe our eyes, she was not wearing any overalls, she had stains all down her trousers and top, because she continually wiped her dirty hands down them, she had a face mask, but it was around her chin, she only put it on properly to go into the main store to get more grocerys, she was handling food and taking out the rubbish at the same time, we didn't see her wash her hands once, she was constantly wiping her nose with her hand, and without washing them she continued to handle the food, she was also running her hands through her very greasy hair, and still she didn't wash her hands, but continued to handle the food, we are guessing by the very low standards that Tesco don't have a manager on site, I have always shopped at Tesco and never have I seen such a dirty cafe, I'm just guessing it's just this particular store, we will never return, and I'm in two minds to have a word with the local health department, absolutely awful place

What on earth has happened to this once lovely cafe?? I used to use this cafe 3/4 times a week & always had a lovely visit, with lively, fun management & staff. I visited today after 3 years away & I was shocked to discover how awful it now is. There was 1 lady on her own trying to serve all of the customers as well as clearing tables. Then a couple of females who I presume were management started speaking to her in a not very pleasant manner. The poor lady looked upset but was very professional & carried on working. It was very shocking to me to see this kind of behaviour & I will be contacting head office. I will also not be returning again. This cafe has been ruined.

Awful food hygiene standards. So when you order you get given a number to sit on the table to show what order yours is however this didn’t seem to make any difference as the guy bringing round the food as he put two breakfasts on a table and walked away the customers then went to till to say it wasn’t there food so the guy came back took it off the table and went to give it us, to which i said yes we have ordered breakfasts but you have just taken them from the table down there he replied oh for God’s sake and stomped off, we then waited again for our breakfast this time the order was incorrect my husband order a bigger breakfast and fried bread but got a small breakfast with toast and my egg was meant to be well done but was very runny we mentioned this and received more attitude. After being treated like this and waiting for over 40 minutes we asked for our money back and again received more attitude and rudeness needless to say we will never be returning to this cafe.

There were no paninis available so three or more items were unavailable on the menu. Ordered the food & went to collect cutlery etc. Took 15 dirty forks and several knives back to the cashier saying that there was clearly a problem with the dishwasher. Whole atmosphere of the cafe was rather scruffy, the tray rack was completely full of used plates cups etc, not cleared. Needs a shake-up.

If I could give a zero rating I would. Waited for five minutes in a queue of one (me) whilst the two staff [one of which was no more than two feet away] ignored me. When I pointed out that I'd not been acknowledged, I was grunted toward a sign, which I'm guessing says 'don't come here because we can't handle queues of one or more'. Went to customer services who asked If i'd like to complain to the restaurant manager who was in. Restaurant manager - if you're there I'd recommend you're present with your killer team as it needs managing.

It's October and tescos have the Christmas sandwich for sale. It's the first store one of the season. At £2.50 price is reasonable. Having not tried any other store sandwiches is a tad hard to rate it. However I rate it as average and will be highly disappointed if another supermarket does not beat this very average product. Sadly don't need another to check how much I liked it. Ps the cafe does not sale black pudding, give it a miss and try the one in WSM amazing standard reached for a great breakfast with black pudding

Went there for lunch after doing my shop. It was about 1 o'clock and only one girl serving I asked for the scampi,with this she scampered away into a side room. When she returned I was shown to the warming counter and told that this was all they had left. It was just the breakfast leftovers and a few jacket potatoes, I was hungry so I asked her if I could have a couple of sausages,some bacon and a jacket potato. She then scampered off again this time the Chef?/manager appeared. He said that he could fulfil my order but every meat item would be £1 each. When I queried this he told me it was company policy, and repeated it several times loudly, so that i got the message. I told him that he could keep his leftovers and left. A simple snack lunch with a cup of coffee would have cost over £9 by my reckoning.The food was obviously cooked for breakfast some three or four hours previous and wasn't even displayed in separate serving dishes. So go to Morrisons,Sainsburys anywhere but here how Tesco can justify charging such exorbitant prices for left overs, I don't know but there when you're making millions, every little helps.

Went for breakfast with my partner here as we hadn't been before and thought we would see what it was like. Probably the worst customer service I have received, the guy serving huffed multiple times throughout us making out order, did not acknowledge with a hello and actually looked like everything was just to much trouble. When the breakfast arrived it was all thick with grease and pretty much dumped on the table in front of us. I will not be going back again and has also made me question my grocery shopping to.

Terrible, ordered advocardo on toast to be told they didn't have any!! Then she said well we have but they're still frozen. The server went to check and said it should be ok in a minute. It took 15mins to arrive ,it was cold,watery and tasteless,l left it. My husband ordered poached eggs on toast,we were both amused to see the lady pop the eggs out of two plastic pots. Dreadful don't waste your time or money,it's a shame it could be a nice little cafe. Tesco get some staff who know what they're doing and can cook,and staff who actually care.

I didn't expect much, and was still disappointed. The server didn't talk directly to me at any point and only acknowledged my order to moan about having to cook it from scratch. It turned up and had the asthetic appeal of a car crash. It was dry and obviously not done from scratch at all. On the up side my cup of tea was drinkable. From where I'm sitting, I can see months of accumulate dirt on the windows and this gives me little confidence in the hygiene of the kitchen. The flaws here are so apparent I'm amazed the manager here has not been taken to task for it. I would have given a single star. But there were plenty of seats and the music was unobtrusive.

Had an all day breakfast which was poor and did not taste very nice. The only thing I enjoyed as the coffee. Tables left dirt when staff clear dishes away that were left and did not wipe the table tops. The cafe is located outside the shopping cart area with floor to ceiling windows dividing. If you sit by these windows you an see they have not been cleaned in years and the whole area requires power washing. But have to say the staff were pleasant when serving.

Visitamos el Café tesco en alrededor de 10. 30 un viernes por la mañana, el lugar estaba moderadamente lleno. Yo examinamos la junta menú en la entrada del establecimiento y decidí por el 'clásico desayuno cocinado 'no me ocurre que no era una descripción de la distribución de lo que estaban haciendo, pero es un desayuno caliente después de todo. Por el mostrador arrastran un poco para ser recibidos por 'Julia' (creo), ella era una persona amable y sonriente, profesional, que tomó nota de mi pedido, y dijo que, si usted desea ordenar su bebida traeré tu comida a su mesa. Así maniobra un poco más abajo de la barra, había 2 chicos trabajando en la máquina de bebidas, que se quedó por un par de minutos, y en ese momento no uno de ellos me reconoció, me sentí un poco incómodo, todo lo que yo necesitaba era un vistazo rápido y con una sonrisa, quizás un rápido 'estar con usted en un momento, señor", pero no, nada. Uno de ellos finalmente fui a la caja, pedí mi bebida y pagado por la comida. Encontrar una mesa y muy poco después de mi desayuno llegó, estaba bien, me refiero simplemente bien. Me di cuenta de que la persona que trabajaba con la interacción de los más duros y agradable con los clientes era Julia, los otros dos necesitaban un buen apretón y una buena patada en el voltear el asiento de los pantalones (por supuesto) chillaba,

You would be hard pressed to find a lower quality sausage than on the Tesco full english plate. Gristle and cereal are the primary ingredients and sum up every item upon the breakfast plate. Cheap baked beans, tastless bacon, bland hash browns and a fried slice that could shatter a car windscreen.The sauces are the usual packets of cheap slops and provide a particularly woeful accompaniment to an otherwise depressing start to the day.It is worrying that with a superstore within spitting distance, the cafe must rely on shoddy foodstuffs from goodness knows where. Very very disappointed.

Even the manager said he thought food was pretty foul and they've had a lot of complaints.

No chicken breast available. Waiter didn’t inform us until after spending time getting order choices from the children, so had to rush a second choice and chicken is sort of one of the reasons you go to harvester. Poor service at table, lack of serviettes, customer service. Because of signal and poor Wi-Fi unable to collect stamp on harvester app under rewards. Then made to feel awkward with tip system on card machine, need to do the basics well and go that extra step to get tips, All a bit disappointing for the money. Food and drink we had was hot and tasty though.

We noticed on arrival the "for let" notice outside and assume that the current tenants are planning to finish soon. Inside the facilities were clean although very dated. However the service we received was more than adequate: the meals came quite quickly and the food was hot and although quite basic, was better than one often gets in a chain pub. There were very few people in - it is establishments like this that need customer support to survive.
