White Post Cafe in Taunton Deane

This cafe is in a pretty setting and has a welcoming atmosphere. It is next to a plant nursery and there are a few other small businesses on the site. There are a range of very good cakes and pastries, bread, scones and a brunch menu. The cafe is very pricey but was also very busy so must be doing something right. It has a lovely garden area. Dogs welcome.

Lovely little cafe set in nice grounds and serving great coffee (braziers coffee). Worth noting that inside space is fairly limited. They have outside seating under cover and also plenty more outdoor seating around their garden.

I can’t recommend this place enough!!! We visited today at 11 (definitely should book to secure a table) and chose to seat outside under a roof as the sun was out. Although it was a little chilly they offer blankets and hot water bottles to help out. We ordered a regular and a veggie breakfast. They were understanding with my changes to the veggie/vegan plate so very accommodating for dietary needs! The prices I believe to be very reasonable for the portion sizes, we both were left very full. Genuinely the best veggie breakfast I have had ever!! The staff are extremely friendly, I could hear each staff communicating about tables ensuring everyone is well looked after. Each member knows what they are doing, especially with the coffee drinks! I ordered two mochas because I couldn’t just have one! Outside is a great atmosphere in the Spring/Summer when we visited and they welcome dogs outside and inside. We will be returning very soon :)

We had very high expectations for White Post Cafe due to social media. I was told online I didn’t have to book a table (through their link on instagram) so we turned up with our 2 year old and were told they had no tables inside so we had to sit outside, no heaters, in February and it was freezing cold. We originally wanted a coffee and bakery item but they had 3 things left although they were still open for another 3+ hours. We ordered off the specials board and the kids menu. The food took a while and when it did arrive the burger had Stilton cheese in it (not specified on the board). My husband had one bite and didn’t eat anymore. I also went to try some but it was so overpowered but the smell of Stilton I couldn’t eat it. It was all VERY overpriced (burger being £14.50 with a very small side salad) and kids breakfast had so much pepper on the scrambled eggs which couldn’t be eaten by my 2 year old, this also cost £8.50. When we went inside to pay, there was a member of staff sat by herself at a table of 6 eating their lunch although we were told no tables were available inside (we would of happily waited for a table to become free inside). The girl at the counter also didn’t have our correct change in the till so we left even more out of pocket then we should of been. We never usually complain but we really had high hopes. We will not be returning.

Delicious brunch / lunch had today, so thank you! Didn't have a cheese scone on this occasion, but have done in the past - they are a must!

For some time friends have been telling us about the White Post Cafe at Langford Budville, unfortunately we have always been on a ‘mission’ so driven past. Yesterday we challenged this omission as it was midway on our journey, so we dropped in for lunch. The entrance is an interesting approach into the unknown, some way up the drive one is encouraged to keep going and one’s almost there. With such charming encouragements we arrived to find only one spare parking place; very popular! With the friendliest of greetings we were shown our table inside the cafe until a group of animated young ladies entered so we moved to the covered outside area at the suggestion of the waitress. A short wait for our Korean bbq burger with a splendid salad, the dressing light and tasty, and also smoked trout on toasted sourdough spread with a wonderful caper mayonnaise. We nearly always share our dishes to tempt the palate with different flavours and we did with this meal. I could have done with a steak knife to cut the very tasty toast but that is a minor niggle. The menu is mainly light brunch type dishes which all appeared interesting and encourages us to return to try more. Adjacent to the cafe is a farm shop with exceptionally good looking produce. The whole set-up made me think of a beach-side taverner in Greece; our next holiday perhaps!

Charming and quirky little spot tucked away on the end of the village. The cafe is very relaxed, nice seating area outside, dog friendly, nice place with outdoor area to sit and relax. Good friendly staff, nice food (smoked trout bagel a treat), great salads, good coffee - what’s more to like?

Delicious food! Lovely place to go with friends for lunch. However such a shame about the poor hospitality… very unfriendly staff! Felt very unwelcome.

Have followed The White Post for a while and today we visited. What a lovely place, delicious food, great service and beautiful surroundings/views. Well worth visiting.

We stumbled across this quaint, friendly cafe on a recent trip in the area and are so pleased we have found it . . . it’s just lovely! The staff are so friendly and accommodating; the cafe is brilliantly run, the food is exceptional, it has lovely views and dogs welcomed. The menu is wholesome, with all diets catered for, with the freshest of ingredients. Perfect! Honestly, perfect!

What a hidden gem this proved to be! Lovely coffee, excellent food & friendly staff. I had a home made lamb burger that was tasty & came with salad & feta cheese. Well presented & beautifully home made. I had an amaretti biscuit that was divine! Recommended!

What a lovely place to eat in Somerset. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast and my poached eggs were simply perfect. All the family enjoyed their food and great coffee. Everyone was so friendly in this unique location. The chef was clearly outstanding serving so many yet no compromise on quality. I come to see family in Taunton every few moths and will insist we visit again. Thank you everyone at the White Post Cafe.

Visited a thousand cafes and this ranks among the very very best. All food is made on premises---- and is excellent quality. We had the apple cake- far better than any apple cake before...well done We also had lunch which includes a celeraic soup of three star micchelin quality. The menu is very small but why not-- when it is all so so exquisite and YUMMY! Wonderful location..great staff...very clean and stylish toilets also.... overall 5 star ..well done!

My wife and I live in Exmoor National Park that fairly local to this cafe which is not far from the Wellington Monument. We had not visited this cafe before, but based on reviews, decided to have brunch here while we were taking our Working Cocker Spaniel for a walk around the Monument area. The cafe lives up to its fine reviews and is a lovely place to have a lunch/brunch or breakfast. Freshly prepared food, imaginative menu and pleasant surroundings. Also dog-friendly! Highly recommended.

This friendly nursery has none of the hustle and bustle of a big garden centre, and its cafe is equally informal, even a bit rustic. The coffees were good, although my flat white could have been stronger. We didn't have any food, but if you want somewhere quiet and with more character than a high street coffee shop, try this place.

Visited for brunch on recommendation and what a find! Very relaxing, friendly and efficient staff. Excellent choice on menu. Food beautifully presented and delicious. Will definitely return.

A bit of the beaten track and looks like a garden shed but its a little gem inside! Clearly popular with walkers, cyclists and young, trendy families - oh and dogs are welcome too. Pancakes with blueberries, bacon & maple syrup was a great brunch but really needed either more syrup to begin with as it was a bit sparse - I could barely taste it to be honest. Plenty of blueberries though which helped. But for £8.50, I would have liked more syrup. Tea & coffee were lovely (could be hotter) and the cakes looked very yummy but I was too full up to try them - hopefully next time. Staff - young, friendly and efficient. Looking forward to returning sometime soon.

Friendly staff, pleasant meal. Setting clean and warm. Good choice of breads and cakes and a steady stream of customers despite the weather and being slightly off the beaten track.

Seven of us went here after a 5.5 mile circular walk through lovely local scenary. Cosy, unpretentious and welcoming. Best cheese on toast ever ! We all enjoyed excellent food and various hot drinks. Not expensive, would definitely visit again.

After following them on Instagram, I'd wanted to visit white post for ages, and it really didn't disappoint. Great service, a lovely location and atmosphere and of course the food was delicious. Definitely be back 🙌

unexpected surprise local venue coffe shop and garden nursery pleasant staff good service and location near to our holiday accommodation A little tricky to find ,initially but well worth a visit

Have been wanting to go for a long time since I follow them on social media. Did the awkward and time wise quite long journey (due to roadworks) from a nearby town. I had booked in advance but it turned out that the staff was...

Great, relaxed, leafy venue with cafe in a wooden cabin with undercover veranda. Surrounded by a haven (plant nursery), a small boutique and fab walks in local nature reserve. Good coffee, great millionaire's shortbread and your can get breakfast and lunch here. It's licenced too....

Disappointed, we visited for breakfast at 10.00 but were told we needed to book in advance, most tables were empty and we were told that we would could have a table for coffee and cake. I can't see a great difference between a table for...

Lovely pot of tea and delicious homemade cake in an idyllic setting. Staff very calm and professional. Surroundings are magical.

Went to White Post Cafe last week as i had been recommended by friends and it did not disappoint. Despite being in the countryside it had all the elements of hipster cafes i visit in towns and cities- my oatly flat white was delicious! The...

Pot of tea for one ordered - I expected the pot to have tea leaves as there was an infuser in the pot, but no it was a poor quality teabag. The tea was almost undrinkable as it was so weak. No skimmed or semi-skimmed...

We dropped in today for coffee and cake; Isaac and his staff are unbeatable for their prompt, courteous and efficient service and more impressively for the welcome, and genuine warmth in their dealings with customers. This place is far and away the best you’ll find.

Booking online needs to be better as confirmation was not given and turns out they knew nothing of my booking when l rang to check, despite responding to my booking. However that said the small menu choice all looked yummy and what we both ordered...

Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Lovely menu for all diets including gf, VG and meat eaters. Will be returning. Perfect. Thank you.

Great place to relax after a muddy walk with our doggy. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the cafe was in a lovely setting. Quality ingredients were used and loved the brunch options ( amazing coffee too). Would recommend and hope to go back soon.

Friend Claire and I hiked over the fields from Wellington to have lunch here. This is a smallish cafe with around 8 tables with a very stylish interior. There is a fine array of cakes and scones and a choice of 5 dishes for lunch....

We just called in today for coffee and cake, and were so impressed with both the chef and the front of house manager : the quality of both the coffee and cake was fantastic, as was the friendly efficient welcome, all delivered in the newly...

I booked a table for brunch on Sunday so we couldn't be disappointed, and we weren't. This rustic hideaway is perfect for laid back Sundays. Today, it was busy with quiet family groups and their dogs and we were quickly seated and given menus and...

We ate inside due to the wasps in the garden, but had another super meal. Found that Sally, the chef, was leaving to pursue another career. Good luck.

Super wonderful magical venue. Wonderful food, everything touched with fairy dust. Food amazing. Can not recommend this highly enough. Go soon.

Go here regularly for brekkie and coffee and the exceptional cheese scones but feeling let down today. Arrived for lunch at 1.45 - 45 minutes before the end of service. Told they couldn't do lunch because they'd been busy and still had 12 people to arrive who had booked. The kitchen had to be consulted even to get a "nibble" bowl of hummus and some pitta bread. Told in a very patronising way that they are a "little cafe" (I know - use you regularly hence my loyalty card!) and even though they didn't look busy they were and there was no lunch and that was just "the way it was!" We left at 2.40 having had drinks, shared a cheese scone and a plate of hummus. The 12 people hadn't arrived and then we were told they'd cancelled and would we like anything else! Don't think so. Feeling sore and will probably be a little while before I return. Still don't understand why they couldn't do 2 lunches - its a cafe after all and no food came out of the kitchen from us arriving at 1.45 until we left so what was the problem??. Come on you can do better than this. Not good if your regulars feel disappointed.

My wife and I have been meaning to eat here for months, we were not disappointed. Food very tasty and nicely presented. We were not looking for a huge meal and the small plates were just right for us. We will be back.

Lovely quirky venue, friendly staff, efficient and knowledgable. Good array of cakes and lovely coffee. Sat out in the garden which was peaceful and a welcome rest from a busy few days.

Stopped here for a snack and coffee and was lucky enough to be able to sit in the pretty garden area. Both were excellent. The location was good and the decor modern. A refreshing new take on the oh-so-tired tea room of yore.

Met a friend for lunch. Limited menu but understandable as small enterprise. Lovely calm dining area, extended from the original Scarlet's Garden. Lovely feel about the place. Lots of windows. Fresh lovely food. Will definitely be paying a return visit.

Very tranquil setting with good quality tea. Cake selection slightly smaller than anticipated but we visited late afternoon. Only downside was the feeling we had out stayed our welcome as we were busy chatting and enjoying the surroundings, but there was a need to make a point of taking our dishes away to be washed up. There is a small nursery there but we didn’t look around this part.

We had a wonderful time having lunch with our baby and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food was delicious and the setting is beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my almond cake and the coffee was very good too. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

We drove a little out of our way to visit this cafe today and were so glad we made the extra effort. The sample menus and pics on the website really sold it to us as we were looking for a healthy lunch that would cater for us all. Between us we had a delicious Thai curry that came with a flatbread and a lovely little coconut salad. The Lentils with goats curd and fennel was delicious and we would definitely recommend the polenta chips. It was a bit more difficult to feed the children but they were more than happy with some humous with pitta and a tasty scone and jam. There was a great choice of cakes (we even took some home for tea) and the drinks menu had some nice additions such as warm ginger beer and home made cordial. The cafe was very well catered for children with a little table with games and toys and there was a nice outside space for a few games of hide and seek before we headed home. We will be back... to sample the breakfast next time!

Three of us went for Sunday brunch. The waitress was unsmiling, showing a lot of blue bra and wearing nail varnish. We waited 40 minutes for 2 eggs benedict and a rarebit. All were very small portions and not worth the wait. Perhaps we should have taken warning when we arrived. The café was completely empty and only 2 other tables outside were occupied. There was a mix up with the bill when we came to pay.

I visited here with my mum today as part of our holiday, I had researched it and was expecting it to be a pleasant experience however the customer service was so unfriendly that I will never go back. The lady that took our order wasn’t just slightly ‘not bothered’ but bordered on being rude. It was as if we were really putting her out. Unfortunately the cake we ordered had a hair woven into it. I would like to have mentioned this but would rather have left the cake and exited as quick as i could. On our departure we both said Thankyou in a cheery way but the lady didn’t even look up and just mumbled a thanks under her breath. Luckily we could see the funny side of it. But still found it shocking. The nursery is lovely and the owner was most helpful and I would recommend that. But definitely not the cafe. Yes it’s in a nice setting but that seems irrelevant when you feel like you shouldn’t be there!

Just popped up here today to meet a friend for afternoon coffee and cake with our two toddlers,

I had been for lunch in the past when under previous management and to be honest I was quite disappointed with my first lunch with the new management. I chose a fancy-sounding salad with polenta “chips”as an extra.

My grandparents used to own the property so I took my Mum for lunch and to visit the plant nursery and a trip down memory lane to see how it has altered over the last 20 years.

This would be a 5 star review apart from the lack of loo which cut our visit a little short!
