On the recommendation of a previous reviewer my partner and I visited SL-ATE for coffee this morning. We loved it and heartily recommend it to all coffee lovers and anyone looking for a peaceful and different (arty) place to retreat from the world for a while. We both had delicious coffee, mine was decaf and full of flavour. I also had a round shaped croissant beautifully presented and surprisingly accompanied by what you see in the photo. I thought it was going to be plain!

Best coffee shop in Bridgwater. Great and unique atmosphere with an alternative feel. Outstanding croissants. We will be back to taste them all. Hope stays open for long and similar places start to open as more people moves into town.

We absolutely LOVE SL-ATE, food & drink are amazing with lovely beans roasted from Brazier coffee roasters! With workshops also running in the evenings. They cater for intolerance with gluten free options, vegan options and milk alternatives. Which is ideal for my dairy intolerance. Croissants have savoury or sweet options. I absolutely love the vegan Black Forest option. I’ve also participated in the Lino cutting workshop which was well organised & I absolutely loved the outcome! Will definitely be back for more workshops. The shop is well laid out, I’ve just picked up some dried flowers for a gift. Nathan & the team are lovely & inviting, thank you

Such a gorgeous cafe. The coffee was strong and they had many different flavours which I will have to come back and try. Lots of different toppings of sweet and savoury croissant (or toast). I had crème brûlée which was incredible. Friends had the savoury which came with salad and crisps. Staff were super friendly and efficient. My friend got a takeaway cookie after our meal. The level of care and presentation put into her takeaway with added sauce and dusting on top of the pistachio custard cake was amazing. Highly recommend!
