Somerset Bakehouse - The Bakery At Riverside

We took shelter from a horrible winter’s day in Taunton in the Somerset Bakery.
The staff were infinitely patient while my children took an AGE to decide which cakes they wanted. I don’t think it would have mattered which they chose, everything looked delicious.
We enjoyed savoury, and sweet options as well as pots of tea, whilst watching the rain pour down outside.
If you’re in Taunton, and need a snack, this is a two minute walk on from Gregg’s - towards the river.

Cake time 😁

What an excellent little cake and bakery shop. Has seats for earing in and stools / bar to look over the river to have your morning cake and coffee. Reasonable pricing and has customer toilets for paying customers. Would recommend this place

Nice place. Smells like a Bakery, but no croissants or Pain au Chocolate. They are missing a trick.
Coffee at Caffè Nero pricing! Not cheap

Very good service. We ate in lovely food and coffee.We took away some bread and cakes too. Will be back again

Great service, friendly staff and lovely food/ drinks.

A Lovely Steak Pasty, Bacon Savoury and Toffee Muffins.

Lovelly place with good food.

Last visit was on a very cold day and all the windows were soaking wet inside, indicating a lack of ventilation.

Avoid this bakery in Taunton town centre! We've visited here a couple of times since moving to the area for a quick spot of lunch whilst in town but last weekend was the final time.
Sloppy staff with poor customer service skills - the staff took the wrong payment and tried to overcharge us for our small meal. The cakes are not appetizing at all and are bland! We ordered a pasty for lunch but was served completely the wrong one. When we mentioned this the staff members seemed clueless and couldn't care less.
Looking for a cafe for a spot of tea/coffee, cake or some lunch in Taunton? Avoid this one and look elsewhere in town. Other options are much better and more professional.
