Enchanted Retreat is a cozy cafe located on St James Street in Weston-super-Mare, offering a welcoming spot that suits both quiet mornings and relaxed afternoons. It feels like a place where locals and visitors pause to enjoy thoughtfully prepared classic British tea fare without rush, making it a natural choice for anyone looking to unwind over a well-made cream tea or a hearty breakfast.

The atmosphere is comfortably inviting, with friendly staff who strike a good balance between attentiveness and giving guests space to enjoy their time. The cafe’s setting and service suggest it’s equally suited to casual catch-ups, family outings, or even small celebrations, thanks to its clean, tidy environment and pleasant table setups that highlight the traditional tea experience.

One of the standout aspects here is the way food is prepared with attention to freshness and health-conscious methods, such as using an air fryer for breakfast items to keep them light rather than greasy. Whether you’re stopping by for a breakfast wrap or choosing from their variety of sandwich fillings at afternoon or high tea, it’s clear the kitchen aims for balance between taste and wholesomeness.

Visitors often mention the variety and quality of scones, particularly lemon and chocolate chip, which are served warm alongside fresh sandwiches and a decent selection of teas including jasmine and classic breakfast blends. This makes it ideal for those who appreciate a traditional English tea experience with a subtle modern twist.

Enchanted Retreat is busiest during mid-morning and afternoon tea hours, when the light and lively buzz complements the comforting food and drinks. It’s a spot that welcomes spontaneous visits with ease, though some guests have found they can make reservations last-minute if needed. The overall experience is calm and pleasant, attracting couples, families, and anyone who enjoys a sit-down tea that feels thoughtfully crafted without pretense.

For anyone in Weston-super-Mare looking to take a break from the typical café routine, this spot provides a straightforward but well-loved tea and breakfast experience, marked by friendly service, clean surroundings, and a menu that balances traditional favorites with a touch of freshness.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Enchanted Afternoon Tea. The food was fresh and I was given a choice of sandwiches, cake ands flavour scone. My partner has the chicken and bacon sandwich, which was also very fresh. Great value all around. Highly recommend!

I've been to Enchanted Retreat a couple of times now and both times have been wonderful! They make their breakfast items in an air fryer so they're not greasy at all! The sausages are so good!! High tea is great here and they always have such a good variety of options for your sandwich fillings and scones. I've had chocolate chip and a lemon one but they have so many choices! It has a great atmosphere and lovely staff. I can recommend ordering their panini for takeaway if you can't pop in because they're great too!!

Delicious Afternoon Tea. Enchanted Retreat accommodated our reservation at short notice On arrival, we were welcomed to our table which was already beautifully set with a pretty tea service and cutlery for us Our Afternoon Tea was absolutely delicious! ; the sandwiches were prepared to order with light fresh bread and filled with ample tasty fillings, the warm (choice of flavours) scones were light and flavoursome and accompanied by quality strawberry jam and clotted cream, our high tea was completed with a choice of cake and choice of tea or coffee All food items were clearly home made, prepared and presented with loving care and attention to detail A thoroughly enjoyable end to our day and short break in Weston super mare. Thank you

Tucked away along one of the back streets in Weston super Mare quite near the beach. Kept clean and has comfortable seats and nicely spaced tables. Had a sausage and egg bap with a pot of tea. Very reasonable prices. Will visit again.

Sweet little cafe. Other customers and staff were friendly. We had a cream tea and it was soooo delicious. The clotted cream, jam and scone was perfect! Highly recommend it!

This was a wonderful spot recommended to me by my friend and I’m glad we went. The afternoon tea left me comfortably full and I was offered a free refill of tea! Cannot recommend that one visits here more, one would not be disappointed!
