I can honestly say I?ve never visited a cafe that has so much sickness that it has to close or it has to close early regularly. I must just be unlucky as every time I plan a visit it either has closed early or is closed up completely due to sickness. Have given up now and will arrange to meet friends somewhere else.

The same man has served me twice in the post office has been incredibly rude, at this point I think you have to be rude to work at the post office! I went to collect something, no hello or sorry just a moment, I just stood there while he finished packing something. Then no hello or thanks for waiting, just looked at me as if I was a nuisance, I said my name and what I was collecting, and he snapped at me, 'What?!' As he didn't hear me, not beg your pardon or sorry what was that. This is incredibly basic polite human interaction, come on.

Disappointing. Cake was so dry and should NOT have been sold as almost inedible surroundings ok. Not very friendly but due to close in next hour. May try again one day. Prices average

Enjoyed a lovely coffee and generous slice of Lime and Courgette sponge. Really welcome on a cold, wet day. Will visit again

We used to pop into this cafe frequently after walking in beautiful Mells. Friendly welcome . Homemade cakes particularly the chocolate brownie. Now all you get is a frosty nod and a pathetic selection of naff cakes. No wonder the queues at the excellent Mes Amis in Beckington have increased.

Had a coffee at this cafe. Very samll so no room for social distancing and not that well ventilated. Coffee was good. Waitress not terribly welcoming or friendly. Liked the community knitting

Experienced cheerful, friendly service from the three staff I spoke to at this delightful village shop, post office and cafe. So generous of the volunteers to donate their time for the community. Was quite busy - this place is clearly deservedly popular - with cyclists, hikers, dog-walkers and locals. Enjoyed excellent coffee and lovely fresh cake.

Tea Room: Shocking service. Person serving incapable of simply smiling, taking order and asking me to take a seat. Manners apparently not required for the position?

Lovely little local village cafe which we've been visiting for a few years now mainly via riding our bikes along the cycle path. Charlie is always very friendly and easy to talk to, the selection of cakes on offer are delicious and prices are reasonable for what you get. The cafe is looking tired and the website is very out of date but that doesn't take away from the service.

Walked all the way to Mells looking forward to breakfast in the cafe. Web site promises a selection of breakfast fare e.g. bacon baguettes or rolls and other breakfast favourites. When we got there we found that nothing of the sort was on offer just croissants or tea cakes. Had to settle for an Americano which turned out to be weak and tasteless. We went there expecting a good breakfast because of all the positive comments on the web site and trip advisor. Suffice to say we will not be visiting again. Very disappointed - the very misleading web site should be updated.

First and last visit to this cafe. Called in at 2.45pm for a drink and some cake. Started talking to a female assistant. I asked for a piece of cake and a coffee. Only to be greeted by "Sorry, last orders were at 2.45pm" I looked at my watch and the time was 2.45pm. Two pints, why have the door open at 2.45pm to let customers in, if clearly customers are a hindrance. Second, why let the customer order first, when clearly there was no intention to provide a service. I thought that closing time was at 3pm. Is really that difficult to serve a cake/coffee in 15 mins. shocking service. Give this place a wide berth.

As part of the Somerset Food Trail, visited Mells Cafe. Great food, all local and shows just how good Somerset food can be. The staff were excellent, very welcoming and great start to the trail.

I echo the sentiments of the other reviews, stopped for a coffee, literally just walked into the post office and the grumpy man who works there said" are you here for the cafe" ? To witch I replied I was and he immediately responded with a unwelcoming snappy tone that it wasn't open till 12 O'clock .So we left and found The walled garden where we were welcomed and enjoyed coffee, cake and beautiful surroundings.
