Stopped here on the off chance as we were passing and were lucky enough to get a table. Good range of choices for vegetarians. Loved the quirky decor. Food delicious.

Great food and attentive staff. Amazing place for conectintig with nature, quite catch up with friends and family like.

Lovely and plump rice, never had authentic Japanese food this good. I thought places like this were only made for cities, not a small town in Somerset!! Absolute amazing, would definitely recommend. Staff also so friendly and personable

What an amazing concept! Beautiful venue , such a warm and relaxed atmosphere , coupled with outstanding food and spot on service! A truly special dining experience from these professional restaurateurs. The introduction of the courses and the source of the ingredients by Steve adds to the enjoyment of the food! Set Menu, bring your own and pay in advance , means the evening flows without distraction . We will be back for sure!

We heard a rumour about this cafe... and my gosh did it surpass every expectation we could have imagined! Amazing service and the best home made cafe food! Plenty of inside and outside seating and dog friendly!We will be coming back when we’re in the area again!

Lovely little gem of a place. Amazing food, great service, very welcoming. A charming little treasure trove to wander around with a beautiful sunny court yard at the back, very relaxing. So glad I found this place I will certainly be returning. Highly recommended if you’re in or passing through Ilminster you won’t be disappointed 😊

An unexpectedly great restaurant, with interesting and beautifully cooked food. Great service, wish we could still eat there!

Great little place for something to eat, lovely breakfasts all cooked fresh, really good prices, watched the owner making some takeaway rolls for a customer and they looked lovely, not skinny with the fillings oh and the bread is proper bread, not thin and out of a packet, good homemade cakes too...well worth a visit.

Wow! Googled for a place for brekkie en route to Cornwall. Took us 7 minutes out of our way off the A303. So glad we did. Excellent food, even does a Slimming World friendly breakfast. The staff were lovely, so friendly and offering our dog a sausage gets a big tick from me. Good price for freshly well cooked food and a pleasant detour through beautiful Martock. Highly recommend and one to remember on future visits to the West Country.

Rode 150 mile round trip to drop into have a light lunch on 31/5/22. The cheese and onion quiche with salad was very good, the loose leaf pot of earl grey provided 3 good cups and followed by the best carrot cake I’ve had for some time. Another trip will have to be scheduled to try some of the other goodies.

Friendly, amazing coffee & homemade cakes, see the goats & taste Roses cheese , great place to meet friends and make friends, there are chickens, a cat & dog all waiting to be made a fuss of .

Excellent food at reasonable prices, lovely friendly staff, nice fresh and airy cafe. What’s not to like? We will be back! A lesson in how to provide a café to the National Trust, whose Tintinhull Garden is five minutes walk down the road and can only offer instant coffee and pre-packed sandwiches.
