The Winking Frog in South Somerset

lovely little find, great place and lovely staff. easy to get too with a good range of food, cakes and drinks Definitely be back

In a pleasant backwater of Yeovil, the Winking Frog is run by a charity called Able2achieve, which provides really good training and employment support for people. Have been many times and yet again enjoyed excellent food and service today. The quality and service here knock many established cafes and tearooms into a cocked hat. And the menu has both traditional and imaginative choices. Great value too. Must strongly recommend the Welsh Rarebit...absolutely delicious.

Lovely cafe. Training their young staff good service

Nice little cafe. Good service. Clam and quiet place to have a nice coffee and snack.

Best carrot cake ever and amazing staff!

Great value Cafe. Had a great bacon sandwich and coffee. Very friendly staff and service. The cost of the food is very reasonable.

Been here many, many times now. Small, friendly, extremely clean and bright cafe in a pleasant part of the town. Very good menu, food very well presented and served, great value for money. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else in Yeovil for lunch. A special mention for the absolutely superb Welsh Rarebit.

Great food: good range, quality ingredients, excellent service, very competitively priced, friendly atmosphere, dog friendly

Very friendly staff who provided great service

Lovely food, well prepared. Service good 2. Hope u keep it up.

This is a great place and without doubt the best sausage bap I have ever had!! The roll was soft and very tasty

Great lunch with my client. Nice varied cafe menu. Good service and prices. Selection of jackets, sandwiches and breakfast.

Love your new decor. Mixture of American diner and lounge. Very pleasant staff. You would be hard-pressed to find better value breakfast in Yeovil. Well worth a visit

CLOSED, apparently moving with mo information to where or when. Very poorly managed !

My girls and I just had the Breakfast with Santa and it was brilliant! Superbly organised, beautifully decorated, great food and drink, and the big man himself didn't disappoint. Really good value for money and such lovely staff... Well done everyone 🦌🎄⛄🧑‍🎄

The Winking Frog is a lovely welcoming friendly coffee shop. Loved the Pumpkin spiced lattes, food was excellent & the staff are all fabulous. Great value for money. We will definitely be back. Great to see gluten free option too

The Winking Frog is a lovely welcoming friendly coffee shop. Food was excellent & the staff are all fabulous. Great value for money. Great to see gluten free option too. Also dog friendly.

Lovely staff, food cooked to perfection. Great coffee and cheaper than some other places

Often visit this cafe in Yeovil

Good high street cafe. Service was good and food tasty

Great cafe staffed by disabled people

Lovely place , good food friendly staff

What a little gem of a cafe, great prices, fantastic service, clean, welcoming and friendly.

Have visited a number of times. Always find the staff helpful and happy. The food is excellent value for money. I will certainly be using this café whenever I need to eat, provided it is open.

Delicious food and great service, we ate it all 😁😊

Good honest simple food, good cakes and coffee, great service and dog friendly. Well worth visiting.

Lovely place, lovely guys working in there, definitely check it out if you're in Yeovil and need a bite to eat.

Had a great breakfast here. Nothing fancy, just good food, good service and reasonable prices. It would be a regular stop if we were local.

This cafe is utterly charming. We have been coming here for years, when the rules allow. The first visit was experimental as this is run by a charity. The experiment was a success as the food was freshly prepared and delicious. Today we wanted a brunch breakfast and that we got. The premises were spotless. Admittedly we are pensioners and don’t have huge appetites but sadly, I had to leave half my sausage, some beans and tomato. The bacon was cooked just to my liking. I am a butter fiend, so could have done with one more small pat.

Even during these difficult times this establishment continues to offer the highest quality takeaway confectionary drinks etc. The staff are a delight to deal with and always ensure social distancing is in place. The establishment is charity based and and a credit to the organisation. The range of homemade food is fantastic and again of a very high standard. Would recommend the takeaway coffee and homemade cake. Lush!!👌

A great concept and they have an awesome tasting carrot cake

Lovely ambiance and friendly service with a nice mocha and cake

Lovely friendly staff, great tasting food, lovely and clean and reasonable price

Popped in this week and had an English breakfast with an espresso. Ingredients were good and perfectly cooked and served with a smile. Overall a very pleasant experience that has encouraged me to return.

The town was pretty busy and then we spotted this place and I remembered seeing all the great reviews. The service was quick and efficient. I had a delicious pasta bolognese special and it was delightful and good value.

I visited with my daughter just for a drink after lunch to escape the showers. I had a luxury hot chocolate whilst she chose a frappe. The service was attentive and the staff clearly took pride in what they were doing and served us with a smile. I think this is a wonderful little place and will return to eat next time.

I will agree the service is not lightning fast. But the coffee is good. I rarely get my hopes up for quiche and side salad but it was really good. Warmed quiche with a varied salad (as opposed to a few limp pieces of lettuce you usually expect) was very nice.

Had a smashing coffee break here. Lovely attentive staff. Everything reasonably priced and the service is great. Well worth a visit.

Called in for a brunch on Monday 25th November 2019. I was heartened to see 3 people with learning difficulties working in the cafe under supervision. A big confidence boost for them and they responded to my smile. The modestly priced brunch, a full English at £5.95 was excellent.

Smashing little menu, all reasonably priced. Lovely staff, always happy to help. Great place for a meal, thoroughly recommended.

Went in here with my partner yesterday (28/10/19) and had a lovely lunch the service was second to none really fresh ingredients! Would recommend. We had the carrot cake to go and is a must! The cake it's self was moist and flavorful would definitely have again I'm a professional chef and would definitely recommend friends and family to have lunch here. Great place that gives people with disabilities a chance to work in a safe workplace and is a good company to support!

Extremely friendly staff very down to earth and polite and patient. Serve very good food with beautiful presentation

Fantastic cafe in Town Centre. Giving support to to people with learning difficulties who also provide a varied menu, with a good selection of cooked food l, cakes and coffee. Visited for the first time today. Highly recommended. Visit asap.

Delightful day time cafe selling fresh food and homemade cakes selection. Staff are friendly, hardworking and support each other fully to provide a happy and clean cafe situated in Princes Street. Nearby is an additional 'nic nac' shop run by other staff. And all staff are trained to support those people with diverse needs too. Good value all round, recommended

if you just stopping for a quick drink or if you're having something to eat everything is well worth going in for staff are brilliant it's a great experience would recommend

Good clear menu choices, not all options available but alternatives given. Friendly and very quick service with a smile and well priced for a quick lunch. Will visit again.

Good food, great friendly service.

Dog friendly, cheerful staff, good selection of food, reasonable prices

An absolute gem of a cafe that we have been using for a couple of years. Well worth a visit and very reasonably priced

Wonderful menu offering something for everyone - all very reasonable and homemade which makes it even more special

Love it, better than all the chain cafes.

Friendly, helpful, service. Lovely homemade cakes.

Always enjoy going to the winking frog. Lovely staff good drinks and cake.

Always good here, brilliant breakfast and lunch menu, nice big portions and great atmosphere. Keep up the good work you guys!

Marvellous always clean service is great very friendly I hav been using this lovely place for 4 yrs now whenever I go to Yeovil

We Called in as. The place slow us to take dogs in. Wow fantastic meals beautifully presented Welsh rarebit and quiche with salad. A true gem of a find and great to see business helping young people in need. Well done guys

We had a nice light lunch, nothing fancy, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Love The Winking Frog. Popped in for the first time about a year and half ago, and we always go in there when we're in the area. The iced coffees are a must, and their paninis are among the best. Had the bacon, brie and cranberry panini, and it was perfectly done. Probably the nicest one I've had. Perfect balance between the ingredients, and all of a high quality.

Fab breakfast and amazing cakes love coming here. Polite and wonderful service from all.

Great food, lovely cheerful, relaxed atmosphere, good value for money

This may be one of the best Full English Breakfast in Yeovil at the moment, all good quality ingredients well cooked and served on a warmed plate. Coffee excellent, big bucket of coffee and they have Soya milk if you need it.

Friendly Staff good food and also for a very good cause what more could you ask for

Very nice experience, food is good, be patient with the young learners.

Went for after noon tea but I decided to have a ploughmans. Bread was really good pickle and cheese too.

Superb venue for a coffee or even better still a full English breakfast, five star café

We popped in here for a light lunch and both ordered Welsh Rarebit and a pot of tea for two. The Rarebit was the best I've ever had coming with side salad and pickle and the tea was served in a proper china pot and didn't need a lifebelt. It was a pleasure to be served by the staff, some with disabilities, who were all cheerful and attentive. It is not the quickest place to be served but probably the best and very, very good value. we will return soon

This place is a friendly and relaxing place to have tea and delicious cakes and not over priced - order and pay at the counter and the food is bought to the table

Love this place, people as service is excellent. Breakfast is a real treat all good quality ingredients, well cooked.

Have been to this friendly run cafe a few times now and have to tell you about the granary bread they use in their sarnies,

Good pot of tea, lovely team too.

Looking for a dog friendly place & found this lovely little place. Staff are really friendly & helpful & the food is pretty good too. Keep up the fantastic work you do with the staff.

We need more inclusive places like this everywhere, keep up the good work

Had a welcome sit down and a lovely cup of tea. Excellent service. Would definitely recommend

We came across the winking frog by accident. We are pleased we did. Great selection of beverages and food. We have a very well made coffee. Flat white to be precise. Relaxed atmosphere and great environment. Will definitely be back.

Great size menu for the whole family, and very clean and tidy, food is wonderful so if peckish pop in

Lovely homemade quiche and salads for £5.50. Excellent value and very tasty.

So pleased to stumble across this little gem, a friendly local cafe offering opportunities to people with learning difficulties. Great food and coffee and lovely people. What an amazing idea and team, I will definitely be back

Nice coffee good service and better to support local shops than chains.

Really good friendly service. Wait was short and food tasted great. Lovely to see people with additional needs being given the opportunity to grow and develop skills. Would definitely recommend and return myself.

Wouldn't lunch anywhere else in Yeovil; lovely friendly atmosphere and service, delicious, very well-presented food and excellent value for money. Superb place, as ever. And if you like real Welsh Rarebit, this is where you will find the best in the world.

This is a lovely café, happy staff and clean and tidy area where you can sit and relax. The food is lovely and lots of choice. I'll be back again soon.

We wanted a quick bite to eat on our way to Cornwall so looked for a easy to find, cheap option. Despite other reviewers saying it was a good place for lunch we were left quite disappointed and would not recommend or return. Prices were reasonable but the service we received was not great. This may be due to arriving after the rush but when ordering our food we were told there were no paninis were left. My husband ordered a jacket potato with several toppings. The order was brought out 15 minutes later without 2 of the 3 toppings and when we asked why they then said they’d run out of beans and cheese. On a positive note, it was great to see the cafe supporting young people with special needs who were working in the kitchen and running food to the table but the staff who took the order could’ve been more organised and informative.

A really nice friendly cafe that is supporting a really worthy cause. Well worth a visit.

Great little cafe with lovely objectives. Staff are poilet and friendly. Lovely to see individuals with learning difficulties excepted and intergrated in such a lovely manner. Happy and relaxed place to visit. Food is lovely and great to see the food is prepared freshly using their own kitchen and bakery.

I wanted to visit this place as I love a good ploughman's and the cafes offering looked good from TA photos. I was walking past and the ploughman's was advertised as £5, a bargain. When the ploughman's came, there was no ham, apple, pickled onions or toms. The bread was also cut earlier in the day as it was a tad dry. It literally was bread, butter, chutney, cheese, some salad leaves, red onion, grapes and pepper. Other than the dry bread it did taste good, it just could have been better. I had to ask the waitress for cutlery with my food. My partner had a chicken and bacon bap, he said it was ok but would have been better off with an Earls. Would go again but would not rush back.

The Frog is a real gem of a find for us, the food is always fresh and well presented,,just the place for a light bite,,yum yum, PS,,the waiting staff are simply adorable,,we love them all💕💕

Friendly service. Reasonable prices and nice coffee.

Very nice place. Good food, good service and a very friendly team. We will certainly be back.

Excellent food, especially the fresh fruit yougart drinks. A million times better than McDonald's. Also supporting local people, even better. Bread made a couple of doors up in their own bakery.

Always a friendly atmosphere at the Winking Frog.

Staff are nice and polite people with working there a polite that good value for money food and drinks and a sociable place to meet up

Always top class here, it's my favourite stop when shopping in Yeovil.

Visited for breakfast with family. We were not familiar with the town and selected this venue on basis of reviews. It exceeded expectations. Ideal location with wonderful view & cosy interior. Received a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. One of the party has mobility issues, there is seating on the ground floor and steps to the lower floor. Toilets are on ground level so easy access for the less able. The food was wonderful, all locally sourced and organic, grilled not fried and a good choice for vegetarians too. Some amazing ciders such as mango, and chill and ginger; unfortunately it was a little early in the day to try them! This place deserves to win, 5 stars!

A special Mother’s Day visit for our mum, enjoyed by us. Lush cakes and fresh sandwiches, efficient And friendly service- a must visit- supporting the local community 💙

Really nice staff. Good fresh food at affordable prices

Great food and service in a pleasure environment,

Lovely place to stop for coffee and light lunch. Tea cakes are lovely too.

Great food , buzzing atmosphere , great service ! We love it 👍🏻definitely 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recommend the Welsh rarebit with mushrooms 🍄

Been here several times now. A lovely little cafe in the centre of the town. Quiet and friendly atmosphere, great surroundings, excellent menu, lovely people, excellent service and excellent food. We had lunch for two for less than £10. All fresh and delicious. Wouldn't go anywhere else. (And their Welsh Rarebit is, in my opinion, the best in the world).

We had our dog with us and many of the cafes in Yeovil are not dog friendly. We were delighted to find The Winking Frog who were very friendly and also allowed dogs. They had a good selection on their menu. My husband had a bacon sandwich and I had a thick slice Victoria sponge cake both were really good which we ordered with coffee. The staff were lovely. I would recommend this cafe and will definely return when in Yeovil.
