Whelans Cafe in Taunton Deane

A very down to earth cafe popular with locals. Food is affordable and good.staff are really great and a good alternative to a pub. If you need to fuel up this is agreat value place.

Good food but the place was filthy. Litter blowing around in the entrance. Dirty floor. Staff didn’t seem to care. Will pass right on by in future.

Good food but the cafe was unclean, dirty floors, mingin. Litter in the doorway. Obvoiusly unibvious to the owner. First snd kadt time, sorry.

We ordered 2 breakfast baps which were not worth £6 each. Very dry baps, fatty bacon and a very small sausage. Coffee was slow but good

I’d spent the night under a tarp on Maundown Hill, so was hungry for breakfast when I hiked into Wiveliscombe; and Whelan’s came as a welcome sight. Far as I could see, it’s the only cafe in this small, pleasant town, occupying a corner of the square, with seating inside and out. The morning I visited, it was fronted by an entertaining man with a European accent (called Jerry?), who was friendly and looked after us all with cheery banter. He was on the ball, multitasking away impressively. As was the kitchen, because my drink and food came up quickly and hot. Amazingly good pot of char—was craving tea. Had the veggie breakfast, which was decent. Highlight the mushrooms; lowlight poor veggie sausages (it’s not enough veggie sausages contain no meat—they need flavour too). Overall, Whelan’s is a lovely café, and well worth visiting.

Good old fashioned town cafe, nothing fancy and no frills just good traditional fare at great prices, prepared and served by two lovely local ladies, who deserve a local tourist information mention as well. Thanks ladies much appreciated

From time to time our office staff decide to have a Whelans Café brunch. The order is telephoned in. a collection time agreed and a member of staff then drives up to collect. My favourite is a double sausage bap and today it was as good as the one before as the one before that! The sausages are cooked to perfection and despite them then being placed in a fresh soft bap, bagged up, collected and then driven back they are still very warm if not slightly hot. An ideal brunch that keeps me going until my evening meal. I have colleagues who thoroughly enjoy their baguette filled with bacon, egg, sausage & mushrooms. That's great for them but I like the single ingredient bap and Whelans will produce whatever you ask for assuming they've got it in stock. It's an excellent establishment where simple food is cooked correctly.

Great Little Café for Breakfast as the hotel doesn't serve it. We went a bit "off piste" with the blackboard menu,but this was no trouble to them..Great Value

Enjoyed a hearty brekkie every morning when we stayed at Wiviliscombe. It kept us going till a late lunch everyday. The price was very reasonable and the service was friendly and efficient. This was recommended to us by the pub that we were staying at as they don’t have breakfast available. Great choice.

Really friendly owner nice staff, propa good English breakfast nice coffee, ideal little town centre cafe, am a regular visitor ✌🏿🇬🇧

We stopped here on our way to meet up with the in laws as we had a terrible breakfast at the hotel. We ordered 2 teas and toast for my husband,brilliant 2 proper cups,2 pots of tea(which had enough in them for 2 cups each)and a good sized jug of milk, all for £4.50!and all with very friendly service

We enjoyed a cup of coffee and excellent cake with friendly efficient service and very reasonable prices

Whelan’s is an unpretentious Café serving excellent value drinks and traditional food with a smile. They are welcoming to cyclists which was the nature of our visit. A superb refuelling stop.

Called in for a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. Lots of bacon in the sandwich so well worth a vist and plan to return

I'm a regular to this cafe that sits right on the square in Wiveliscombe with tables outside and in. The place has no pretensions ... it's a good, cheap place to get traditional English cafe fare. A friendly welcome and full of locals. Beware though,it closes just after lunchtime.

We were only two of four people in the cafe we didn't expect to wait another 10 minutes for the sausage bap the stroppy girl in charge clearly didn't like having her gossip with her friends interrupted by customers .the place was a mess with dirty dishes left on tables .the boss was clearly having a day off if only he knew what it was like when he wasn't there .

La comida es genial, la gente que trabaja allí es amable y servicial. Paramos en una vez para probar y fuimos para el desayuno para el resto de nuestra estancia. Habría hecho el almuerzo, pero estábamos demasiado lleno de desayuno! Por desgracia no hacen cenas. La decoración es básica y alegre - sin una reflexión sobre la calidad de la comida o la forma en que cocinamos! !

I've been here a few times on days when a lazy start is needed. The breakfasts are well cooked and tasty, tea nice and strong and sitting outside watching the world go by - what could be better?

Had a delicious cooked breakfast, fresh produce and a lovely mug of tea. A proper cafe with friendly staff and atmosphere.

Parece una cuchara grasienta con laminado mesas de colores brillantes. Hombre sentado en iPad en una mesa era en realidad el servidor pero no reconocer en primer lugar! Sin duda, un tipo de café que sabe su gente de pueblo!

Yo vivo en Wiveliscombe y apoyo a las tiendas locales, etc. así como la comida para llevar, etc.

Having driven from Minehead to get a mechanic to look at my partners vehicle we had an hour to kill ,so we decided to have breakfast in this little cafe.It was friendly,cosy,the food was absolutely delicious and the coffee was lovely!

Justo si necesitas algo para comer con menú variado. No desayuno y almuerzo para llevar.

Called in here yesterday, ordered two hot sandwiches and a latte and a tea.Can only say extremely disappointing, coffee was barely lukewarm, although tea was hot, (my wife drank her latte almost straight away) sandwiches were greasy, and menu pricing on blackboard was confusing and ended up being charged more than I thought I should have been, had what we were presented with been good it wouldn't have been so bad, but sadly the offering was not. They obviously have regular local customers, but we certainly won't be back. Disappointing to say the least.

Food always freshly cooked, very nice. Regularly visit there. Friendly staff, breakfasts are always good and value for money

Having read about it on Tripadvisor we gave it a try. Somewhat disppointing. Coffee was weak, like dishwater. Table not clean after the last customer and the floor could have done with being mopped over, as it was the start of the morning. Wivy is only a small place and so it was quite busy with locals, obviously not too fussy about the place, or fry-ups.

Friendly staff. Seating outside as well. A real hub for gathering. Food is nice and tasty. High chair available for young ones. A good meeting place for friend's.

We regularly ring through an order for brunch or lunch baguettes / baps from this cafe, one of us then driving from the office to collect the food. It is always well packed, always hot and most importantly always cooked well. Be it a simple sausage bap or a baguette containing bacon, egg, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms and all, each ingredient is a simple one but needs to be cooked properly. Whelans Cafe consistently gets the basics right!

Great food and always serves you with a smile. I love it here but the doctor says No.(Health) always serves top quality, I would recommend it once a week to anyone. Five stars all the way

The finest bacon and mushroom baguette in Christendom. Coffee's good too. Friendly service and a free mini library.

We love it here and regually visit with family.Lovely place to stop for breakfast or a coffee.Staff are lovely

This is a lovely little cafe in the centre of Wiveliscombe that offers good value for money, a friendly atmosphere and very good food. My fiancé and I always enjoy having the breakfast and a delicious mug of hot chocolate. The food is cooked fresh to order and we certainly leave feeling full and set up for the day.

Extremely clean and welcoming with coffee charged at just £1.00 per cup, welcoming traditional fried breakfasts and a good selection of lunches at £5.00 we must recommend this little cafe in the corner of the square
