The Almshouse Tea Shop

Our whole experience with The Almshouse tea shop was great from start to finish. We did make a few specific requests and had to make a change to the date of our booking due to illness but nothing was too much trouble. The lady I dealt with was lovely, as were all the staff. The tea shop is in a gorgeous setting and there were lots of beautiful details inside that made it lovely and unique. The afternoon tea was delicious and made with very high quality ingredients. We were surprised at the variety of sandwich fillings and the home-made scones were still warm and melt in the mouth. The cakes were equally as fresh and delicious with lots of variety, the Bakewell tart was particularly outstanding. The staff were very attentive, offering to top up our tea and pack any leftovers for us. Without a doubt the best afternoon tea we have ever had!

I had an absolutely wonderful time here, the service was incredible and the waitresses were so friendly and nice. I plan on visiting again whenever I’m in the area because the atmosphere was so lovely and welcoming. The food was so tasty and I actually ended up going twice in the same day! I highly recommend almshouse tea shop to anyone anywhere near Axbridge - it’s definitely worth it!

Love this Tea shop in Axbridge. Everyone is so friendly and you can take your dog in to the Tea Shop and they make sure there is water for the dogs and also you get biscuits for them. The cakes are to die for. A wonderful, friendly welcoming place and definitely recommend it. Cant wait to go back !

This is what a Tea Shop should be I can only pass comment on the scones and cream, only one word I can use and that's superb, lots of clotted cream lots of jam and two large scones that were served warm. We had cappuccino instead of tea which was very good . Staff were friendly and helpful and checked up with us that all was okay. Worth a look if in the area they have a large menu with lots of choices so you are bound to find something that you might fancy.
