What a place! We happened upon Jordan’s when looking for a lunch stop en route and are so pleased we did. The quesadilla was out of this world. Lovely service and atmosphere too. Shame we’re not closer but we’ll stop off again soon to try something else.

Such a lovely little cafe nestled in a quirky shopping courtyard. Really beautiful inside. Particularly love the bench in the middle which displays a variety of salads and cakes. Service great and the food was delicious (really generous portion too which is always a win for me!). The order: French toast with geek yoghurt & berry compote - £11 Smoked haddock kedgeree - £12 Visited in January 2023

Lovely place 2 minutes from the mayhem of the A303 services at Ilminster. Get away from the Costa and Burger King and go here instead. Fabulous breakfasts and proper coffee with table service. Dog friendly.

Such a beautiful place! We felt super welcomed from the moment we arrived, absolutely gorgeous coffee and food - genuinely one of the most delicious breakfasts I’ve had out for a long time. I have dairy/egg allergies so they were brilliant at catering for me and made me up something slightly off menu that I could eat so felt really looked after. Really lovely experience & atmosphere and staff were all wonderful. Will come back again thank you!
