Tesco Cafe - Taunton Deane

The tables and trays were dirty, there was nothing positive to say about the experience. The coffee machine was not working, so we couldn't have any hot drinks. We only received bottled water and were not even offered a glass. Thankfully, we were just passing through and did not have to stay long.

Ideal for a quick meal nothing fancy easy to go to after shopping Some staff seem to be a little on the slow side .

Came here as I was in Taunton for a long weekend. Ordered full English and tea. Ordering seemed a bit chaotic, but I got what I ordered and it was pleasant. Not the best I have had, but certainly not the worst and I would revisit if in Taunton again.

What has happened to this once charming cafe? I used to frequent this cafe 3 or 4 times a week and always had a pleasant experience with the lively and friendly staff. However, after visiting today for the first time in 3 years, I was shocked to see how terrible it has become. There was only one woman trying to serve all the customers and clear tables, while a couple of women who I assume were management were speaking to her in a disrespectful manner. Despite looking upset, the lady remained professional and continued working. Witnessing this behavior was very upsetting to me, and I will be contacting head office about it. I have no plans to return to this cafe again, as it has been completely ruined.

The food hygiene standards at this restaurant are terrible. When you place an order, you are given a number to place on your table to indicate your order. However, this system did not seem to work properly as the server placed two breakfasts on the wrong table and then became frustrated when the customers pointed out the mistake. Our order was also incorrect, with my husband receiving a smaller breakfast with toast instead of the larger one he ordered with fried bread. My egg was also undercooked despite requesting it well done. When we mentioned the mistakes, we were met with attitude and rudeness from the staff. After waiting over 40 minutes for our meal, we decided to ask for a refund and were once again met with disrespectful behavior. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this cafe.
