The Courtyard Cafe in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Waiter were friendly and overall great experience with my two kids

One of our favourite lunch venues.

Delightful courtyard setting, shame about the food. Sausage overcooked and inedible. "Pie" consisted of stewed beef with small, readymade and overcooked pastry lid, not even a proper pie. Overpriced.

Excellent food and service, staff lovely, they work efficiently, are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend, it's a great place to eat out.

Visited today on a recommendation in town, told the cakes were great but unfortunately they didn’t have any of the three I asked for. The female waiter was quite abrupt and rude, when we asked her if a table was free and pointed at it, got quite annoyed at being questioned and directed us outside, we then waited for over 20 minutes whilst others who came after were served first by the same woman, she got other staff to serve us thereafter and made a point of ignoring us, not sure what we did to irk her other than asking of an empty table was free… but eventually after 30 minutes our coffees came, which were standard and 10 minutes later my friends tea cake arrived which again was standard. Very disappointed as the atmosphere and overall decor etc was very pleasant, shame the staff are not! Props the man who tried to be nicer and offer other cake they did have, unfortunately no vegan or dairy free options though so doesn’t cater for all needs, but is Dog friendly which is nice at least 🤭 in their defence they were busy and dish washer was broken, and it was only £5.70 in total but I worked in catering for 8+ years and customer service is key… we’d have bought lunch if we’d have felt welcomed

Met friends for morning coffee. Very friendly staff. Good food, good value and a lovely selection of cakes.

Great cakes and coffee, dogs loved it as well

Only intended to stop for a drink but was tempted by the prospect of a bacon, sausage and egg roll. Good homely food, well cooked, served piping hot and nicely presented. An excellent pot of tea was served with extra hot water and additional milk provided with a smile for OH who likes milky tea. The rear half of the cafe is light and bright. The courtyard looked like a good spot for summer (if it ever arrives!). Some of the cafe is rather dark and perhaps some better lighting would be useful. But we’ll certainly return.

This is a small cafe, it has a courtyard. Service was good and the food was tasty.

Popped in for a takeaway caramel latte and chai latte and the service was faultless! Lovely, polite and chatty staff behind the counter as I waited for my drinks, thank you all for being so welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again!

Visited today. They were busy, but we were turned away in a brusque and rude manner. Won’t bother visiting again.

Very good service every time. Good variety of food. Always cooked and presented well.

Sweet little cafe , great with kids, nice coffee. Great cakes.

Fabulous cake and lovely coffee

Visited on a weekend away to Somerton, lots of unusual gift ideas reasonably priced, and a cafe on site too.

Great little cafe in a nice Village with friendly staff

I didn’t get as far as the cafe today as the old woman on the shop till was brusque and rude I left!

Quite dissatisfied. My meal arrived with a hair strand in it. Due to a time constraint, I couldn't lodge a complaint. A twig was also present in the salad. The food should have been thoroughly checked.

Charming cafe with good choices of food

Requested a table for 8 for a family event and asked for sandwiches, cream tea and cakes. Responded when promised to confirm that they could cater for us. Coffee was good, the scones were delicious, a good variety of sandwiches were served along with a couple of types of cake to finish off with. Service was very friendly too. I would definitely return.

Excellent place to grab a coffee and some lovely cakes

Fantastic food, great service. Went in for breakfast with a friend, had the Eggs Royale and Poached eggs on avocado toast, both were delicious. It's a small café, so tables are quite close together, it would be challenging for users of walking aids. Will definitely visit again, the lunch menu looked very tempting 🙂

Excellent food and service. All food locally sourced.

A great food in a lovely village.

Very busy but they found some room for us . Had liver and bacon, which was a bit salty but lovely otherwise. Partner had veg pie , mushroom, leek and spinach. Very nice. Both meals came with mash and veg . Drinks were large. Coffee and tea. Very good value.

Lovely little place, always busy, with good reason. All the food is great and the cakes are stunning.

Lots of choice on menu and cakes, recommend the carrot cake. Choice of alternative milks for latte.

Quirky cafe behind gift shop. Full meals as well as snacks and beautiful cakes.

Very quick service and friendly. Had the large somerton breakfast which I think was probably the best cooked breakfast I've ever had. Wife had the pancakes and bacon and was also very good. Will visit again!

Lovely freshly prepared food in a relaxing friendly environment.

Really lovely dog-friendly cafe. The staff were friendly and food was quick and tasty despite it being busy. Will definitely come back soon! (Lots of cute things in the shop too)

Delicious home made food, not cheap but worth it....lovely staff..

I have been here before, many times, a year or so ago and it was much nicer then. Maybe I called in on an off day. There were only a handful of other customers, But the staff were surly. No pleasant interaction or greeting. The man ignored me, even though I stood at the counter. 'Hello, won't be long' would have been nice. He actually stood right in front of me, and I didn't exist. My Latte coffee was fine. Hot and frothy. The cake, a scone, fell apart so much I couldn't cut it in half, and the knife was blunt. I ended up with a plate full of large crumbs. Which I dipped alternately, into cream and then Jam. Jam was nice, clotted cream was nice, but I didn't eat the halved strawberry as I had seen the waitress clutching it in her palm before serving. I write reviews for a living. I will return one day, to see how things are then. Maybe next time I can write a nicer one.

Super food and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are outgoing and friendly!

The Courtyard Cafe is highly competent the cakes are very palatable and not too sweetly. The hot chocolate drink was real chocolatey not overly sweet or strong. A very pleasurable encounter, enjoyable attractive cafe with courtyard you should visit. Thank you

Lovely place good coffee and food nice staff

Really enjoyed my lunch .Good service & friendly staff.

Stopped here in the off chance. Great afternoon tea & scones would highly recommend. Also lovely gift shop on site most unusual things great for prezzies. Will certainly be going back 😊

Impatience on ordering, overpriced, argumentative on undercharging apparently for a takeaway or something, added gluten marshmallows when 2 of us explained our daughter was not to have them, then another altercation of sorts over whether we had the right to sit down for our cakes because we had takeaway coffee, after spending 25 pounds. Then just to top it off they fibbed about forgetting sweetner in the tea. Pretty easy to just say so sorry I forgot!

Went here for the first time this lunchtime. Had the Somerton breakfast plus a cuppa. Great portion size and plenty of tea at a reasonable price. Very popular place but food and drinks served quickly by lovely friendly staff including the naughty Ollie! The cakes looked fabulous but just didn’t have room.Will make this a regular place to visit.

Lovely food as always good selection, cooked on order lovely fresh ingredients. Friendly atmosphere lovely helpful staff .

Bustling little cafe at the back of a gift shop. Pleasant little courtyard at the back and a good selection of homemade cakes.

Excellent service, interesting, creative and delicious food. Pleasant surroundings. Very reasonable. If I lived here I would be a regular.

As someone who is lactose intolerant, it can be difficult finding food without milk without asking about every item on the menu so it was lovely that they offer an all day breakfast 😋

Great coffee and amazing carrot cake and a very tempting menu.

A great place to relax and food is great 👍

A great little hidden cafe, excellent menu with plenty of choice, food a little over cooked but all in all a very good experience.

Great chicken and leek pie for lunch.

Loved this place, amazing fresh food and cakes and the staff were so friendly, definitely a place to visit

A lovely cafe to stop & take a breather.Plenty of choice & some delicious cakes & treats.A safe environment,with hand sanitizer & table service.The staff are friendly & welcoming.5*

A superb place to eat beautifully prepared food, and a great gift shop all in one

Smashing little cafe! Excellent coffee and cake. Staff did seem less than happy to be there though, quite cold service.

Beautiful food. Lovely friendly staff Always Beautiful cakes on display

£7.25 for an egg on toast is a bit over the top

Shocked to be charged 7.95 for 1 slice of toast and a poached egg. 😳

Courtyard cafe is a very pleasant little place with polite and friendly staff, outside on a sunny day is perfect.

Great scones with our cream tea, plenty of tea, a lovely spot to sit and relax

Great food mains or just coffee and cakes friendly staff well recommended

Always get great service and a lovely cup of proper tea!, always served in china tea cups.

Very pleasant experience in these scary times.

Brilliant Food Brilliant Staff always a warm welcome. Worth travelling from Yate Sth Glos. Long may it continue.

Lovely and cozy café at the back of a shop, and it has an outdoor area as well. Plenty of "meals" of the day, so you can expect something different each time you go in.

Attentive service, good social distancing practices, lovely coffee.

Fabulous food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. Dog friendly as well. The cake selection was mouth watering and my sandwich was delicious served with a fresh side salad. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Super friendly staff and a beautiful and welcoming space, and the best range of cakes.

Very nice and relaxed atmosphere with an array of yummy cakes!

Lovely café with a wide selection of delicious cakes and snacks. Came in for a business chat and for lunch and although it was quite busy, it did not feel uncomfortable and we were able to chat happily without being interrupted. Also, a lovely all day full English breakfast served from 09:00-16:00. Very highly recommended and will return again soon!

Delicious home-made cakes and a warm welcome. A lovely, chilled place to relax. We hall visit again. 😀👍

Lovely food, service, and staff. Gluten free options and always helpful ☺️

Dog friendly cafe. Lovely coffee and cakes.

Enjoy this place, good to meet up with friends. Accessibility - reasonably good, negotiate your way through the gift shop, tables a bit close, but can acces. Level entrance. Sorry, did not check the loos thus time Car Parks (free) - near by. Come in just for a cake, drink or meal. Staff (and customers) very friendly

Friendly cosy atmosphere and the food was good too

Excellent sandwich portions with salad. Tea I am pot with hot water. Great

Excellent cake and tea, nice venue and nice staff

Wonderful cakes, proper tea, good coffee- and prompt service even though we were a large group. Friendly atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Excellent light menu, nicely served. Helpful staff.

A super cafe, beautiful cakes, and friendly staff, definitely one to revisit, in friendly Somerton

Lovely welcoming cafe with gorgeous food, good coffee and nice staff. Recommended

Fantastic food, great afternoon tea!

Lovely cafe with a great menu. Big bonus all the cakes we're gluten free and some we're vegan. The chocolate cake was delicious.

A staple coffee and cake spot for us. Great selection of homemade treats

Excellent coffee locally roasted at this cafe which is at back of a gift shop. You need to park at the free Unicorn car park and walk 200 yards down a busy street to access the cafe. Pleasant staff and functional indoor tables with some outdoor seating.

Very good cafe abit busy/noisy but sign of a good place

Another wonderful experience here this afternoon. Very excited to have spotted apple and berry crumble on the menu! However I was very hungry and had a vegetarian breakfast... delicious mushrooms! But then couldn’t resist the crumble so asked if I could take some home! This was prepared for us while I looked around the shop.. I couldnt believe it when my husband came back with a tub of crumble.... and the custard too!! I wasn’t expecting that!! Thankyou x Such great people, service and of course the food. See you soon x

Lovely welcoming cafe situated at the back of a wonderful gift shop. Service was good as was the food, whether you want breakfast, quick snack or puds it has everything.

Excellent service and tasty food

Great selection of meals and cakes. Lovely atmosphere . Hope to visit again soon .

Very good latte and service and reasonable prices

Ein sehr schönes Farmhouse Café mit gutem cream tea for two. Auch andere Luchen sehen sehr lecker aus.

Excellent food & coffee in a welcoming setting

What a pleasant suprise, you walk through the shop and enter the cafe. Plenty of seating plus the option of being outside of you want, with a great sized pot of tea (plus it's leaves not a bag) and the sandwiches was lovely (probably the best coronation chicken sandwich I've had). WARNING!! When you go up to order your confronted with so many gorgeous cakes just tempting you. agh! Friendly service, well priced and we'll be back

Great little tea room which does everything from breakfast to lunch and afternoon teas. Great coffee served and a good choice of home made cakes. The courtyard is very pleasant with umbrellas to protect you from the sun. Staff helpful and pleasant.
