Wish You Were Here Cafe in Mendip

Visited Glastonbury whilst on a weeks break in Crewkerne. Popped into to this lovely cafe as it was dog friendly. Forgetting my glasses I asked if they catered for gluten free, they did (it stated it on the menu). As I ordered the lady behind the counter asked if I was coeliac, I told her I was. When the food was brought to the table, the lady explained that she had cleaned the kitchen and prepared my food using all new unopened ingredients. All I had was a corned beef and onion sandwich, but the attention to detail was second to none. Really recommend this place to coeliacs and non coeliacs.

I came here and the food is not only delicious but very reasonably priced as well. The staff are very friendly here and there is plenty of room to sit inside. Dogs are welcome as well. I live part time in Glastonbury but work away and when I am in Glastonbury I will eat here if I fancy a cafe lunch If you are a visitor to Glastonbury I definitely recommend this lovely cafe, there is outside seating as well. It’s also great for the abbey which is opposite

Nice little cafe on the high street. Not overly priced and food good. Food was freshly cooked on the premises and staff were very pleasant and helpful.

We called in this morning as we noticed the dog friendly sign in the window. We had coffee and breakfast sandwich, the coffee was lovely and the egg cooked to perfection. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, a lovely cosy cafe 😁

Lovely friendly staff and a good HOT cup of coffee (which you rarely get in coffee chain shops). Didn’t eat so cannot comment on food.

Stopped for lunch in this quirky little cafe. Food was lovely. We ordered avocado and poached egg on toast and a bacon sandwich. Bacon was super crispy and cakes were delicious. Friendly staff and great decor.

We stumbled on The Winking Turtle looking for somewhere for lunch that accepted dogs and I an hurry due to heavy rain. Delighted we found it! Wonderful soup (thank you Bev) hot hot drinks (thanks to Lorna) and excellent friendly service from all especially Stevie who included my dog in their attention ❤️ Will definitely return when back in Glastonbury.

Nasty rude people working at this low grade cafe, i had to take my food back the bacon was not cooked at all and it was cheap grade food. If you want quality breakfast with quality grade food go to the burger van next to proper job 2 minute walk. I will be reporting them to food health and safety and trading standards.

Loved the interior decor! Really felt like I was in the Caribbean, lots of nice little decorative touches. Cakes looked great but I was too full after main! Chutney was nice, but couldn't really taste Caribbean flavours? It was a hot day so didn't order a hot meal, definitely would if I went back!

We had the spinach and coconut dal with salad this was really good with a raspberry dressing, homemade coleslaw, potato salad and hummus. The flavours were great and complimented each other. Friendly service and fresh water for our dog. We are very happy to recommend the winking turtle cafe.

Excellent service, great food and an all round happy place. Proper tea in a teapot, none of your bag dangling in the cup and a stick instead of a spoon! Really helpful and friendly staff.

I had the curried lamb with rice and peas, was very good, very tasty with enough spice. My wife had the macaroni and cheese, unfortunately she didn't enjoy this as much as I did the curry. The macaroni was under seasoned The service was very good. All in all a good dining experience

Stopped by for coffee as we waited for the abbey to open. The cappuccino was one of the worst I have ever had. Weak and a strange taste. My partners Americano was bitter.

Thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing time inside with cold and hot drinks. So good went back later that day for apple pie and cream. Happy and friendly staff, good selection of cold and hot drinks. Wonderful wall murals and the tables inside are decorated with fairy lights giving a magical feel.

Awesome place great food and service very chilled out definitely recommend 👍 would 100% go again !!

Lovely coffee. Delicious food. Spoilt for choice, so we shared. Both dishes generous portions and reasonably priced. Helpful staff. A little gem of a cafe.

Lovely friendly staff and cake to die for. Sat on the wall outside due to pandemic but the cake took our minds off the cold. Would highly recommend

We stopped in before exploring the town and so glad we did! The staff were friendly and helpful, the food delicious (can recommend the turtle rolls!) and was popular without being crowded. My son was impressed by the Festival decor!

Stopped with our pup for a coffee and cake, the coffee was phenomenal and they were so friendly. They greeted our puppy and made us feel really welcome. The cream tea was yummy! Lovely dog friendly cafe

Stopped here half way through a bike ride around the Somerset Levels and Mendips. The coffee and cake I had was perfect and there was a huge selection to choose from. Great place to sit outside and watch the world go by. I will definitely...

This cafe is almost directly opposite the gates for the Abbey. We entered quite late in the afternoon (3pm) when they were no longer serving hot food, but was made very welcome. The cafe is bright and cheery with plenty of seating out back. The...

Really lovely little cafe in the centre of Glastonbury. Lots of options for everyone, including good choices for vegetarian options. Picnic packs particularly good value and staff very welcoming and friendly

Stopped for brew and a bacon bap. Decent tea and a bap stuffed with bacon. Just opposite the Abbey, can highly recommend.

Visited here a few times recently on a family break! Cafe is spotless, the staff are brilliant and the food is amazing!! I opted for one of their turtle rolls, so fresh and packed with filling (coronation chicken was to die for) coffe was really...

Staff here are always friendly and helpful. They service the best coffee in Glastonbury! Nice outdoor sitting area.

Perfect spot for lunch after a walk round the Abbey. Unpretentious café with lovely friendly staff. They had a surprisingly good menu, food was cooked to order and delicious, made from local produce.

Милое кафе с неформальными интерьерами - на стенах росписи и висят работы художников. Наш отель предоставлял там завтраки. Отличные яйца Рояль Бенедикт и кофе!

Gente simpatica café acolhedor tudo bem servido a preço razoável recomendo a sobremesa que é divina também o chocolate quente tomei também café que pesar de ser dos melhores que bebi em Glastonbury não apreciei o café em Portugal é bem melhor mas recumendo uma visita. Eu voltarei sem duvida

We went here for breakfast, we both had a full meat fry up and it was delicious! The staff were so lovely and friendly, good quality food and a lovely cup of tea. Would definitely recommend.

We had a reservation here as we stayed at the 8 Owls B&B! Quirky little cafe,with friendly,helpful staff. We ordered two full English Breakfasts,which were delicious,with tasty Sausages,Bacon..couldn’t fault it! We will pop back another time for lunch!

i wish everyone in the world could try this coffee and its perfect sweets and cakes - the staff is polite and friendly - this's my favourite place for a coffee !!

They changed the name to the winking turtle. The ladies are so sweet and the porridge and deluxe hot cocoa delightful!

very welcoming good value for the money excellent feeling of warmth from the staff go as a single person or as a family group

I ordered Eggs Benedict, the sauce tasted like Mustard & Salad Cream mixed together, the Ham was really dry & flaky & tasted really artificial & canned. I got bread instead of muffins. And it left the most awful taste in my mouth for hours afterwards! I had to keep eating mints to get rid of the awful taste. This cafe has a five star rating, but there was condensation everywhere, the plaster was damp & flaking, we even had to move tables when we noticed the massive cobwebs with dead flies in it, stuck to the light fitting overhead! I've never had such an awful tasting and badly presented version of this classic dish and I certainly won't be going back again!

We have visited this face a few times but this was the first time for a while and the food was excellent the staff polite and freindley

Had our first visit to this cafe this morning as part of a stay with the 8 owls B&B.; One of the things I love about Glastonbury is how the local businesses all seem to help and support each other so it was really good to see the B&B; sharing business with this lovely place. When we walked in we got a warm welcome from the gent behind the counter and he showed us to our table. The breakfast selection included with our stay was really good, decent amount of choice. We both went for the full English which was freshly cooked and really tasty. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here when we’re in town again. It felt like popping to your mums for breakfast :)

A great little find. The food is lovely and freshly made. A varied menu that caters for everyone no matter what your dietary requirements are. A vast array of hot and cold drinks are available. A very relaxed atmosphere and a great place to meet up with friends. The staff are lovely, friendly and chatty. Very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Lovely cafe and lovely staff. We had delicious toasties for lunch when visiting the area. Polite, friendly, staff and tasty food, what more could you ask? Would definitely come again when I visit Glastonbury again.

This cafe breakfast was part of our B&B; stay at ‘8 Owls’. What a lovely arrangement to have breakfast included a short walk from where we were staying.

Our first morning in Glastonbury and many of the cafes did not allow our little dog, he was welcomed in here without issue and this place set us up for the weekend. The staff were warm and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious, i had poached egg on toast and the toast was the best i have ever had, i asked where it came from and it was their supplier but so tasty. They were very busy and we were told very apologetically that there would be a bit of a wait for food, when we asked how long the lovely server said 20 minutes, that did make us chuckle as coming from nearer London a bit of a wait can be anything up to an hour. Sadly our stay was too short to make a second visit here but would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

We went to this lovely cafe on bank holiday Monday with our dogs. The staff made us all very welcome and couldn't have been more helpful. Made us feel so comfortable and at home. After having drinks we decided to return later for lunch as they have an excellent choice of vegan meals which is so unusual to find. There was live music in the afternoon which added to the ambiance of the place and made it feel more like a friendly local pub. I strongly recommend this cafe to anybody visiting Glastonbery as I don't think I have ever found such a welcoming place with great service and excellent good value food

Lovely inviting cafe, I had the Veggie breakfast, my partner had the Eggs Benedict, both really delicious.Our 3rd visit and always just as enjoyable.

Fantastic find, wonderful scones, cake and coffee! Friendly staff, great music and comfortable seating!

Nice music, good coffee and nice cakes. Comfortable and clean. Some seating out front on the path or inside.

This was our first vist to this cafe and we liked the atmosphere and decor (which included a variety of art for sale on the walls).

Looking for somewhere for an evening cuppa found this lovely cafe about the only one open at 6pm. So glad we did lovely greeting lovely cakes and coffee.

Been coming here for the past year with my two young children. The food is great and there are clean toys for kids to play with. The staff are always friendly and interact with my children!

Thank you Bev and team for another awesome lunchtime visit. As always excellent service, great food and a warm welcome. Lush coffee, super poached eggs on toast and a homemade scone and jam, just what was needed on a wet Easter Sunday. Service with a smile. We love it here! We’ll be back .

My friend and I went to the cafe as they were on a mission to eat some cake. I ordered a deluxe hot chocolate, which came with whipped cream, marshmallows and multi-coloured sprinkles. As I don't like marshmallows I asked if they could be served on the side so my friends could have them and this was honoured. The hot chocolate was good, but I didn't indulge in any cake.

Friendly staff, efficient service, and a feeling of ease makes people feel welcome. We had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on gluten free toast and excellent cappuccinos (regular or vegan). This is a good choice for meeting a friend or for a business meeting and the menu has a good choice

Really good food and breakfast with great attention towards customers.... so friendly and helpful with great food... going back

Went for lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't remember what everyone had but two of us had eggs Benedict, the other two adults had something breakfasty and our two little girls had waffles.

This from the outside looked like a no thrills traditional English cafe. When we entered we were quickly acknowledged and sat at a cleanly prepared table. Although not busy when we visited sittings seemed to indicate this may get busy at peak.

I had the 'weekly special' (bangers and mash) and while it was a basic dish, it was also very tasty, with great gravy, well-made mash and juicy sausages. It came with a free coffee. Friendly efficient service. I was there about 4pm but (unlike some cafes in Glastonbury) the hot meals were still available. (I know, it seems crazy to write this - but there are cafes in this town where it can actually be a problem!)

My boyfriend and I first visited Glastonbury in May together. We were very excited so we got there pretty early when nothing was open like our typical unorganized selves. We saw a lady putting chairs out at a cafe due to open within 10 minutes and asked if we could sit and wait for them to open but were turned away. A few doors down we came across this cafe which was already open and welcomed us warmly. The staff were cheerful and you could feel they genuinely enjoyed seeing you, the atmosphere was fantastic. A big range of tea and coffee which fitted our random tastes perfectly, we perused the menu and saw a strange option for smoked salmon with scrambled egg on toast.

If you want a nice coffee then this is the place to go, I only gave three stars as I feel the staff could be a bit more friendlier, but I cannot fault the coffee at all

I stopped in here on a Saturday morning as it is right opposite the Abbey gates. I had a pot of tea (with Soya milk) and a delicious vegan chocolate fudge cake. Really lovely staff who gave me a map of the area and also took me outside to point me in certain directions. Meant to go back at the end of the day but didn't have time.

Love this cafe. As well as all of the above, they play Pink Floyd music too, the owner is a big fan, hence the name - Floyd fans will already recognise this!

This is belated review from May Day bank holiday weekend, it was the sunday and instead of going to our usual Glastonbury cafe option we wanted to try something different but as the town was celebrating Beltane and very busy we were turned away (quite rudely) from other cafes. Luckily we found an empty table in Wish You Were Here and gladly so because those cakes!

I have only just discovered this little gem for keeping mini ones occupied while parents can relax and enjoy a very good coffee. Food was lovely and freshly prepared. It was a great place to meet and I will definitely return(when my toddler is maybe a little less tired). Will also recommend to others.

We had a delicious croissant and toasted tea cake with wonderful "Hedgerow Jam" which was home made by a local supplier. Coffee was great, atmosphere very relaxed and the team were lovely, helpful and friendly.

A pesar de ser un poco tarde para los usos locales, no tuvieron problema en prepararnos una mesa para 8. Comida aceptable y trato excepcional. Muy recomendable.

While searching Glastonbury for something safe to eat with Coeliac condition, we took a punt on this cafe and were so pleased to hear that the staff were clued up on allergens, happy to check ingredients and very friendly and helpful. We tried scones (normal ones, for a traveller without any dietary requirements) and enjoyed them a lot. Then we tried the gluten free and dairy-free chocolate cake which was absolutely delicious. The slice was enormous (not like your usual diddy ones you get everywhere) and tasted like chocolate heaven. There was also lemon ice-cream which was gluten and dairy free but we were so full of the yummy cake we couldn't manage any more. Great place to eat in Glasto!

All us local mums hang out here. Staff are lovely and very tolerant of toddlers ransacking the place. In fact they encourage it. Yummy cakes and a great selection of teas and coffees. X

This is the place for delicious food and warm friendly service. We were a large group every morning and our table and steaming cappuccinos and english tea were waiting for us. Hot tea scones and both vegan and GF options. Beverly runs a sweet, inviting establishment. Go if you want home away from home when in Glastonbury. Enjoy

We visited here for lunch with our toddler and dog. They have a fantastic kids play area at the back which meant we could actually enjoy our lunch without being rushed by a toddler! It was great that our dog could come in too. All the staff were very friendly and the food was great. Lovely soft doorstop sandwiches. Good veggie and vegan options too

What a Lovely place, staff were Awesome, Food was Gorgeous and the laid back atmosphere was just what the doctor ordered .....Paul and i Will be back in September for more of those Poached eggs xxx

Opens early. Friendly atmosphere. Served great food, good service, vegetarian options on menu, well worth calling in.

Warm and homely café in the heart of Glastonbury, with homemade cooking and delicious cakes. This is a friendly place, with a real Somerset feel to it, with a local clientele... a very happy spot!

Had a great lunch here at the weekend. Great food, and more importantly for us a kids play area at the back. It's well out the way of the other diners so its not like theres kids running around. Seating outside is perfect for people watching.

Lovely cup of tea, great cake, nice staff dog and family friendly - refreshment available for people and animals. Great for people watching.

Pop in regularly when visiting daughter in Glastonbury ... not cheap compared to the North West by any stretch of the imagination but lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Lovely little play area for grandaughter. Their EGGS gave them trouble when I called for breakfast last week but the kitchen staff were most apologetic. Go regularly and will continue to do so on visits down south. Feel quite at home there and the staff sooooooo nice.

After an aborted visit to the Mocha Berry nearly next door, I chanced a visit to WYWH. This was a much more inviting proposition, with some delicious vegan soup and soya milk for my latte.

A hidden gem. The best place in Glastonbury! Don't miss it. Warm and welcoming staff. Incredibly clean and one the only 'child friendly' places to go in Glastonbury.
