We were here on a trial day after a temporary closed season. The people were amazingly nice, the scones were tasty, and the price were more than fair☺️ I recommend this place wholeheartedly ?

Lovely food. We had a lovely afternoon tea. Great sandwiches and the scones were the best! The staff were all lovely. It was very busy so I would recommend you book in advance if you can. Hope to visit again soon.

We were trying to get into the cafe opposite as it had tables in the sun, and it wasn’t immediately obvious where the entrance to the Almshouse is (10 yards down street). The outside seating doesn’t look as appealing as it’s neighbor - but once inside it’s a different story. A really nice menu with an excellent selection of cakes and sandwiches and great coffee, served by friendly staff. The Almshouse itself is really pretty inside, with a bookshop, and spiral staircase taking you to more seating. Next time we’re in Axbridge we’ll be heading straight there!

Absolutely gorgeous! Visited with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea- the sandwiches were freshly made, the scones were undoubtedly the best I’ve had and it was so tricky to chose between the array of delicious cakes. Warm and friendly welcome and excellent service. Thank you so much.

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!

Perfect little place for a spot of afternoon tea. Located right in the heart of a picturesque village. Fantastic service, quaint little tea room and delicious warm scones, jam and cream. Also had non dairy oat milk for our tea! Would definitely recommend.
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 !
