The Purplespoon Cafe, Catering & Events in Sedgemoor

Always served with a smile. Great quality at reasonable prices

Stopped in for a coffee and sandwich during carnival day great food and staff

Delicious food in restful attractive surroundings with friendly helpful staff, dog treats and seriously good coffee! Great pancakes too!

We were at the Bridgwater Carnival last night and popped in for a hot drink at their cafe on The High Street. The staff were extremely friendly, and their coffee/hot chocolate was amazing! Was so good we went back a few times in the same night 😁

Staff were very rushed and busy, but friendly. Food was disappointing to be honest.

Great food. Great Service. Great ethics. What a find. **** Well it was. Gone down hill a bit. Lunch menu has shrunk, no Buddha Bowl. Medley salad small and expensive. Large breakfast fairly tasteless. Shame . Loved (past tense) this place. Drinks still good.

Stylish, scrummy, lovely setting and staff excellent! We came as quite a large group and they weren't fazed by all our alternative drinks etc. and were fine to split the bill. A really lovely time for us all, thank you!

We went to the Purple Spoon on the High St, Bridgwater by chance. What a glorious little place ! We started with excellent coffee - a flat white & a short black Americano. We followed this with a New York Bagel - full of pastrami, cheese & cornichons. Absolutely delicious! Plus, a gigantic focaccia filled with Parma ham, mozzarella & rocket. The whole thing was so tasty - the rosemary in the focaccia just topped it off. And best of all we were served by Kate the owner, who told us the most interesting details about food in Italy and her colleague, whose name I didn’t catch. We can’t wait to come back !!

So glad we diverted to find this gem .. a little hard to find with diversions in place but well worth it Gorgeous peaceful spot by the canal with ducks and other birds to watch and fantastic menu with something for everyone including vegan and gf options.. We loved it

This is a lovely little cafe with great food and friendly staff. I had a cooked breakfast which was very delicious. I will definitely be going back again.

Really nice breakfast. Atmosphere and surroundings great. Small breakfast was excellent, everyone in our group enjoyed it.

Wonderful lunch today at Purple Spoon Café. Dog friendly - even had a doggy menu! Vegan options available! Very friendly service and wonderful food. Disability friendly, as lots of room around the tables and no steps to enter.

Think they were short staffed as it took ages to order and 40 min wait for food . Unfortunately, with a lit of people in the cafe it's very hard to have a chat with friends due to the type of building .

Ali and Monika have now twice catered for wakes held following the sad deaths of firstly my mum and then my dad. They were exceptionally kind and sensitive at a tricky time. They produced such great food and were on hand to serve and support us seamlessly on both occasions. We tweaked their “best of the west” menu to include Monika’s delicious cannoli and everyone thoroughly enjoyed every morsel! My thanks to all involved.

We used Purplespoon for our recent wedding reception. Ali was very helpful and happy to answer my endless questions. She provided a fabulous buffet including vegetarian and gluten free options which were much appreciated by the guests. Delivery was on time, presentation was excellent and the food delicious. We would definitely use them again

Been here a few times for breakfast.Never lets you down.

This is a really nice place to stop for food and drink. The staff are lovely, helpful, and obliging. The sandwiches are huge, proper doorsteps and plenty of filling. There is plenty of choice of food on the menu. Its clean and gas outside seating overlooking the canal. I would highly recommend

Really enjoyed our visit to the Purplespoon cafe. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food on offer is really delicious and value for money. We have visited the cafe a few times and will definitely continue coming here.

Beautifully located . Excellent service and delicious food. My only criticism is the menu needs changing up. My friends and I don't visit at much as we did because we are bored of the menu. But that just shows how good it is there and how much we would love to come regularly again!

Lovely setting, friendly and attentive staff, great breakfast using the finest ingredients and dog friendly. This was a great pitstop on our way to Cornwall. We plan to call in again on our way home

Really lovely, relaxing and affordable Great customer service 💯 Had a lunchtime coffee break was very relaxing sitting by the canal in the sunshine watching the ducks

Amazing service everytime we visit, food is delicious. And what a beautiful setting 😍

Fantastic service and a lovely menu. All the staff are so helpful. Everything came out well presented and quickly. I would highly recommend!

Lovely café by the canal. The food is delicious, and the service excellent. Well worth a visit

Lovely food and pleasant staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have always visited this cafe, with grandchildren coffee always good and cakes absolutely yummy. Loved the fact that dogs are welcome. But sadly I was disappointed today, lots of staff but a wait before a separate waitress came to take a food order, and then a wait for pancakes, I noticed other couples who arrived after me being served. I finished my drink and I assumed I had been forgotten and so decided to leave, but as I was paying my bill my food arrived. I was told they had a big party in, which perhaps if someone had mentioned that I would not have bothered ordering. I don’t like complaining the food is absolutely lovely, just a little more communication if there is going to be a wait.

Really good food and service. Stunning setting, especially on a sunny day

Food was tasteful so maybe 4 stars for that. Now service on the other hand I would’ve given 2 stars…I have now been trying for over 20min to get the waitresses attention as she is on her phone and just gazing at the unknown. I have waved my hand 3x and nothing. Mind you the other tables have been waited on and checked on over 2x and ours was just left in the back corner forgotten. Just felt a bit weird Hopefully next time it will be better 🙏🏻

Great place . Accommodate allergies. Lovely staff

Wonderful, dog friendly canalside cafe. Would definitely recommend and go again. They even have a dog menu.

What a wonderful find. So popular you need to book and thankfully our friend did! A wonderful place, spacious but cosy. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. Fab menu. Morning coffee time so I just fancied their pancakes , bacon and maple syrup with a latte. Bliss. Would highly recommend this place, so many tasty treats to offer. We're coming again soon so I can sample some more of their menu!

Lovely, lively cafe nestled inside the YMCA. Great big, fat sandwiches and toasties on offer, as well as gorgeous coffee, cakes and pastries. Bear in mind that this cafe gets extremely busy as it is situated in a popular area right next to the canal and we were advised to book ahead during our training course. The decor was cute, bright and open, and the staff were lovely and seemed very much on top of things despite being packed 😊

Lovely inside but much to expensive.

Really great breakfast at Purplespoon Warm welcome from the team and great friendly service Very clean restaurant and food was so clean/fresh and tasty with great options for all The team are really hard working and so friendly can't wait to go back! Thanks

A lovely location along the canal side, delicious food & drink, friendly staff, a lovely place to go out for brunch! I have been here multiple times and each time has been great. Also like how the business do fundraising for the less fortunate and support charity!

Great tasting food. Brilliant portion sizes and a lovely atmosphere.

Exceptional food and service. The best cafe in the area by a distance. Booking is usually important as it's so popular.

Coffee and food very good. Too many dogs in the purple spoon. Maybe 4 when I was there. Along with the young baby's has the potential for injury

this cafe is cute with nice decoration and a good atmosphere. whilst its in a harder to find place, once you do find it, its great and definitely worth it. it is along the canal which is lovely in the summer, you can also sit outside so you can bring dogs as well! the food here is great quality and portions, breakfasts and lunches are suitable for all ages too. vegan options are available which is great. they also serve a large variety of cakes and sweet pastries which are all homemade and you can pick up on your way out if wanted as they have a takeaway option for cakes and sweet treats! a huge variety of drinks on top of this too! great for big groups as they are able to accommodate to large groups very well, which is good for parties or large meetups, although it is very important that you book. they also have a huge variety of events you can go and take part in at all times of the year, lots if these events are very l different in what they contain and what they are about so there is certainly something for everyone! overall a lovely place, i highly recommend that you stop by here!

We had a very nice brunch here. The food was lovely as was the atmosphere. Added bonus that inside is dog friendly, they even have a menu for dogs. Really enjoyed cooked breakfast and home hade topped crumpets. Will return.

Very friendly especially to dogs.

First class service and superior ingredients. Excellent vibe.

Such a fab cafe! Great menu and lovely service. The breakfasts particularly are fabulous.

Had breakfast.. food wasn't as warm as it could've been.. delicious though...Excellent service..

Booked this for a birthday, when we arrived the staff weren't aware of booking but found us a table. The food was very good seemed freshly cooked with good produce.

We stopped here for a coffee, and stayed for a brilliant breakfast. We had the giant crumpets and the vegan breakfast, and were very happy with both. Coffee excellent too.

A Really tasty menu. Lots I could have chosen from. Very pleased with our meals.

A really nice place to eat, At the YMCA Bridgwater next to the canal overlooking the country side, the menu looks expensive until the food arrives then you understand you get a lot for your money and they serve a nice coffee, worth a visit.

Food is a overpriced for what it is. Need to learn to cook poached egg as I've been here twice now and they have either broken my egg or given me a rock hard one. But good initiative so can't complain too much!

Great cafe very good food and atmosphere.

We have always loved The Purple Spoon cafe, and so chose them as the caterers for our wedding in Bridgwater in July. They catered perfectly for vegetarians and vegans, with a vegan paella for the day meal (with fish and meat add-ons for those who wanted it!) and a vegetarian buffet for the evening. The service was warm, friendly, and joyful. Everything was done efficiently and the food was delicious. We couldn’t fault The Purple Spoon at all. They went above and beyond, especially to help with providing crockery for family-made desserts… and even helped with serving them!! Thank you for such a wonderful catering team and food on our special day! from The Rose-Moores x

Acoustics terrible- too much noise.

Great food, staff could be more active and helpful. Not enough tables for weekends and even those are very crowded and small

Always busy, nice food and cater for dietary allergies. Nice selection of food and family friendly. Nice views of the canal. Baby change facilities available. Parking can get full but generally a space available.

A really nice place, the food was really good and the service was excellent. We will back.

The best cafe in Bridgwater! A wonderful warm place with a great selection of cake, sandwiches and much more. Also a great place to stop after a stroll along the Bridgwater/Taunton canal. Have a cuppa and feed the ducks!! These guys do a huge amount for the local community (check out their awards) 100% recommended

Waited 15 minutes before we were even served to be told it was 35 minutes for take away sandwich! Should have been told before being asked to sit to order. Awful customer service

Highly recommend!! Organised a meeting at a local Village Hall near to Bridgewater and asked Purplespoon if they would cater. The service was very friendly and professional and even offered to drop the food to the Village Hall. The food itself was also fantastic, there was a great variety of sweet and savoury options and they were able to cater for a variety of preferences. Will definitely be using Purplespoon again and hope to pop into one of the cafes when I am next in the area. 10/10!!

Really lovely cafe, the all day breakfast was one of the best that I've ever had. I really pigged out & had the hot fudge dessert to finish. The cleanliness is on another level, staff super attentive, would I recommend The Purple spoon, hell yes, amazing experience, keep it up guys.

Lovely place by the canal. Great choice of food and very tasty. Friendly, helpful staff We had a mixture of breakfast and lunch meals - all very good. Crumpet option was great

Next to cycle and footpath. Lovely hot coffee. Buddha bowl delicious and vegan ginger cake light and delicately flavoured. Service knowledgeable and helpful. Inside and outside seating with view of the canal

Fantastic meal at the cafe, brilliant friendly service, relaxed atmosphere. Only negative is that only one outside table offers any shade on hot sunny days, some additional portable shade would be most welcome . 😊👍

Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere, so good to see its doing so well. Thank you to the young lady who very kindly cleared up after our doggie was poorly.

Greeted by smiling and happy staff, very helpful and super customer service. The flat white with oat milk with double shot was one of the best I’ve had for a long time. And it’s a beautiful location especially outside with the sun beating down and against the backdrop of the ducks quacking and frolicking in the canal! Highly recommended.

Wonderful place! Impeccable service 👌 highly recommended

Atmosphere, food and service is way beyond 5 stars. My extended thank You to the brilliant staff that made me feel super comfortable. See you guys soon!

Nice staff and decent food. Not cheap

Lovely food and great customer service! It’s also dog friendly.

Went for a walk along canal with dogs and stopped for some lunch it was very tasty, service very good and lots of gluten free choices too.

Jacket potato and salad beautifully presented although the potato was only luke warm, great otherwise and salad was delicious . MY GRIPE was being charged 30p for a very small jug of soya milk, enough for one cup of tea. Silly really as they have lost a sale, will return but only have tap water to drink.

We had a table booked for lunchtime at 1:30PM - we arrived on time and sat at our reserved table which even had my mums name written down. Our food & drink orders were taken, and the drinks arrived some 10 minutes afterwards which was fine. I ordered the falafel wrap, my mum ordered a jacket potato with toppings. by 14:20PM we had no food and noticed that other tables which had arrived much later than us were being served their orders and the staff were beginning to sit down and eat their own food which their kitchen staff had provided for them. We went up to ask the staff where our food was after being sat down for nearly an hour, between the 3 staff working front of house (including the woman who served us) not one of them could work out where the food was and why we haven't had it. One of the staff on lunch claimed that she would not be eating her food right now if there was an order still outstanding, due to the electronic system they had in placed to prevent this from happening. A second member of staff then turned round after 5 minutes of searching and said that "the food is being prepped in the kitchen now" without any apology or explanation or a rough estimate of how much longer this would take. Despite all this the restaurant was not particularly busy during lunch and had plenty of covers available inside and outside. We left shortly after hungry without any further attempts to apologise from any staff. I'm confused as the order was taken via tablet which is then uploaded to the kitchen teams and bar teams, the drinks arrived so I really don't understand why the food hadn't even been started/didn't arrive. I have heard some positive reviews about this restaurant which is a shame, but I strongly recommend avoiding it for the bad service alone.

Great cafe food is good and good location along side the canal

I’m gluten intolerant so the variety and quality of food here was a very pleasant surprise. And the service was great too. And I loved the coffee. A very pretty setting too. It’s attached to a sports hall and the toilets were in need of maintenance. But were clean.

Best sandwich ever! The club sandwich was delicious and great coffee too. Can't believe we haven't been here before! Will definitely be back

I can not give any rating for food as they had run out! Except for cake. But the staff were lovely. The setting nice , right by the canal.

Very busy but in a lovely setting.

Lovely food and coffee, friendly staff and great view out over the canal and the Meads. Just had a piece of cake and a coffee in glorious sunshine watching ducks on the canal. 3 Yr old grandson loves a hot chocolate with his cake!

This is such a great place, food is great and caters for all. Lovely inside too, great spot for a walk after.

Absolutely loved this cafe. The atmosphere, despite being busy was lovely, the staff were amazing and the food was delicious. A real gem which I will definitely be raving about to others and returning to!

Great place for coffee and food in Bridgwater

The food is fabulous been there loads of times and the standard hasn't dropped, one of my 1st choices and I always recommend this place

A really lovely cafe set alongside the canal and within the YMCA building. A good choice of food - breakfast, lunch,tea & cake. Also a good drinks menu. The cafe is very popular so reserving a table would be a good idea but in dry weather you can sit outside. The staff team are always very friendly

Mr E says everything was good here

Lovely food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It’s a firm favourite for me!

My favourite local cafe, but… I love the location and ambiance but the food seems to be getting disappointingly worse every time I go 🥲 Simple flavours lacking, overcooked/solid toast, small portions and coffee making dwindling! Prices still reasonable though :)

I popped in for a coffee and a sandwich when in the area for business. Great coffee and the club sandwich was unreal. Warning - it's huge and really could be shared by two people.

First time in this cafe, certainly won't be the last. Fantastic food and service in a relaxed atmosphere.

Cosy and nice environment in a similar fashion to scoffage since the owner is the same. We had the pancakes and the club sandwich. I wanted to try the homemade crumpets but they run out of them. My gf also had the last set of pancakes. This was on a Saturday at 1pm which maybe it is a sign that they need to increase the stock of ingredients. Nice outdoor seating area for the summer with sun in the afternoon. Next to a canal with some ducks floating around which gives it a special touch.

They know how to cook bacon 🥓 here, lovely and crispy and brown 😋 delicious. My dog 🐕 enjoyed her breakfast from the dog 🐕 menu as well. I highly recommend this 👌 cafe.

What a fabulous space! A real community hub. Amazing cakes and friendly service!

Eating in or taking out, breakfast or lunch- I am always impressed. Something for everyone, including the dog! If you’ve not visited yet, treat yourself after a stroll on the canal!

Warm welcoming and comfortable. Lovely choice of food and the coffee is lovely. Good prices and always something going on there to get involved with (or not). The staff are lovely and it's always clean. Nice place to bring kids and hold events

Had a very good breakfast and it's in a lovely location, worth a visit for sure 👍🏻

Great family post-Christmas brunch

A really lovely cafe with friendly staff and great tasting food!

Popped in for a Sunday lunch today. The food was divine, cooked well and not too much on the plate. The service was good too. We will be come back and definitely recommend this cafe.

Fantastic hidden gem of a place. Tasty cakes and wonderful staff. If only Taunton had something similar at their YMCA.

Staff very friendly but clearly not enough staff on as really long wait times even for drinks (30 mins). They weren't even accepting food orders when we arrived, but fortunately we just wanted coffee. Coffee was decent 👍

Solid 5/5, good variety of food and drink, decent coffee blend, fresh ingredients, impeccable service from the lovely staff, nice decoration and quiet location off the city centre and right near the canal. I would advise to call in advance and book a table as it gets really busy, even on weekdays!
