Tessa's Tea Shop

Tessa's Tea Shop is a welcoming tearoom on Dunster High Street, just a few minutes' walk from the castle. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in for coffee, cake or lunch without leaving anyone on the pavement.

The menu covers breakfast, light lunches and generous afternoon tea, with everything served in the cosy indoor dining room where your dog is genuinely part of the visit. It's the sort of place that makes a castle day or village wander feel properly planned rather than a race between dog-free cafés.

Open daily from 9am to 5pm, Tessa's is a practical pit-stop for Dunster explorers and Southwest Coast Path walkers who'd rather not negotiate separate human and dog refreshment zones. The tea shop sits at 13 High Street, Dunster, about five miles from Minehead town centre.
