Price Range £1–10

Simply Gorgeous is a cozy café tucked away at 2 The Cliffs in Cheddar, offering a welcoming spot for those looking to relax with a proper cream tea or a hearty breakfast bap before heading out to explore the gorgeous local scenery.

The bright yellow exterior stands out along the street, making it easy to spot as you wander around the village. Inside, the atmosphere is charmingly quirky, decorated with an eclectic mix of bikes, horse memorabilia, and oversized glasses adorning the walls—details that lend the café a personalized and homey feel rather than a polished corporate vibe.

Locals and visitors alike arrive here for the cream teas, which seem to be the café’s specialty. The freshly baked scones served with jam and clotted cream are a clear draw, often paired with a pot of tea that gives you the perfect pause during a day spent walking around Cheddar Gorge. For those who want a more filling bite, the sausage and bacon BAP is a straightforward, satisfying choice, made to order with fresh ingredients. A selection of homemade cakes like carrot cake and Bakewell tart also adds a sweet finish to any coffee break.

Though the café feels relaxed and unhurried, note that its opening hours are somewhat irregular, which has caused some frustration among repeat visitors planning their day around a stop here. When open, however, the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, bringing a warmth that complements the casual, welcoming atmosphere.

This spot works well for a quick sit-down treat or a longer catch-up over tea, especially for couples, families, or small groups preparing to take on the nearby walks. Early afternoons are great for soaking up the calm ambiance before the lunchtime rush, while mornings offer a gentle start with a breakfast bap before exploring Cheddar’s natural beauty.

one of the most favorite cafes where you can enjoy cream tea. The staff is very nice. The only thing I don't understand is their work schedule. Because they are closed for more time than open, and I specifically go to them, and then fault.

Visiting Cheddar I can thoroughly recommend a visit to this lovely Cafe and shop. Painted a bright yellow in colour you can't miss it. Very friendly staff and welcoming. Food is delicious fresh and made to order. A lovely pot of tea here with Cornish Pasty and Toasted Tea cake will set you up for walking in the area and seeing all the breathtaking lovely sights that Cheddar Gorge will offer you. The Goats on the Gorge are lovely to see and we saw many on our days visit there.

Love the quirky interior of this traditional cafe, well worth five stars on its own. As for the bacon baps they truly hit the spot, same with the sausage and bacon option. The coffee is served piping hot while not being overly strong. While the staff were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel appreciated as customers. We will certainly be returning to this cafe next time we are in Cheddar. (5/3/22).
