River House

Very popular gathering place for all generations in Frome. We called in as journey breaker, and were delighted to find this place. The coffee was great and flat white made just right. Choice of cakes and tray bakes made choices difficult. Great vibe as people gathered in the sunshine.

Lovely cakes Inc vegan and gf. Breakfasts are quality and decent size. We had the house breakfast, avo toast and sweetcorn fritters. All delicious. Very very fast service. Staff are very friendly. Definitely worth the price. There is a shop with nice gifts and a gallery. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a delicious brunch yesterday. Bustling cafe joined to the arts Centre with friendly staff, interesting and vibrant menu which was so tasty. Delicious from start to finish. Thank you 🙏🏼

My first visit yesterday and hopefully won’t be my last. Only popped in for coffee and cake but was pleasantly impressed. Great coffee and delicious cake. The menu looks good for breakfast/brunch so can’t wait to try it out. The staff were all very friendly and a lovely atmosphere.

Possibly the nicest oat flat white I've had! And the food was delicious - seasonal French toast for me and avocado on sourdough for him... Just what we both needed. The service was wonderful, the place had a really warm and welcoming feel, and from the steady flow of people the whole time we were there, we're not the only ones who think so!

Stopped in for breakfast, kind staff , ace breakfast sandwich, fun community feel setting

We drove past Frome to get back to London. It was breakfast time and we didnt know where to go. We drove past The River House and saw a lot of people inside and outside so we went to check it out after we parked the car. Its a cosy place with seating in the front of the cafe, and in the small terrace at the back.
I ordered the French Toast with Crispy Bacon, and Granola with yogurt. I highly recommend the French toast as it was absolutely delicious. They also have an option without bacon but with fruits instead. They have around 2 options for each dish, for example there will always be a vegetarian option or a vegan option.
The staff there were super friendly and nice, all of them

Great food, great place, great people. Would love to visit again!

Really enjoyable 11am Sunday brunch. Coffee and orange juice were great.
Very adventurous menu, for example, the cooked breakfast had a wonderfully tasty
polenta slice instead of the usual potato hash brown. This was really, really good. Homemade beans were a bit al dente for my liking and I thought they they tasted a bit funky for a breakfast item.
The black pudding, sausage, egg on buttered sourdough were all fantastic. The cooked tomatoes were grilled and slightly charred to a caramelised perfection. My partner had a sort of salmon avocado eggs benedict royale but it was on a herby scone base instead of the usual muffin. Again, I thought it tasted a bit funky and I'm not sure it's one for the puritans.

We went here a few weeks ago and were very impressed. The River House serves a good breakfast; very well presented wholesome food. I liked how they'd bolster well known breakfast items with a little something extra like some beetroot hummus. They serve good coffee here too.

I think if I was a local I would be here quite often. It was very busy though it was a Sunday morning. Still, they coped very well and we did not have to wait very long. I would definitely return.

This is an excellent coffee shop. A really great location with an excellent vibe and backed up with the highest quality food and drink.

The coffee (we ordered a cappuccino and an Americano, black) is very good quality and is made and presented exceptionally well. The cappuccino in particular had a thick mallowy type texture to the foam and the flavour of the coffee was rich and robust. You can buy beans on site and I regret not doing this, but it's also a great excuse to go back.
We also ordered a raspberry and pistachio cake which similarly impressed. Light and textured, with balanced flavours and very moreish. There were a range of sweet treats available and I doubt there's a bad item on their menu based on the quality of this cake.

The decor and the vibe inside is fun and playful with loyalty to Frome and the surrounding area. It is connected to a delightful little arts centre and there is a smart little shop which has a range of affordable jewellery and other pieces. It is a great little spot and the staff are friendly and welcoming, I cannot fault the presentation of this venue at all it's just a wonderful place to be, from the welcome when you step through the door, the outdoor seating and the playful table identifiers (we had a Wonderwoman duck!) it is just a great spot.

Go visit, relax and enjoy!

Excellent menu with veggie and vegan options, coffee and tea, and a cozy art-inspired environs with plenty of seating both indoor and outside. Shakshuka with poached eggs and fries were really good!

We cycle here at from Midsomer Norton at least twice a week. The coffee is the best we have anywhere but somehow it's also the cheapest. There sausage or bacon rolls in ciabatta or delicious. All the staff are a really happy helpful bunch.

I've been going here since it first opened and it's always been a lovely experience. Great atmosphere, the friendliest staff, best coffee, and a great selection of food. I always go for the vegan breakfast which is really tasty. They have excellent portion sizes and everything is good value. It's especially nice in the summer when you can sit in the courtyard watching the river.

Delicious lunch. Food successfully navigates the delicate balance between familiar comforts and exciting new flavours, successfully incorporating both traditional and vegan options into a well rounded menu.

Great food served with a genuinely warm smile.
Best breakfast in the southwest with tasty homemade baked beans.
The staff are a joy, the most disappointing part of the experience is waiting for a table as it's so busy!

I stopped with 2 friends for a coffee which was excellent. I've been there before it's always been good, a good selection of snacks or lunch and good coffee. Well worth a visit.

Great food and a really nice vibe. Locals seem to love it and make it really busy. Very good staff.

Visited for lunch last Wednesday. Food was very tasty, good choice. Service at the order point was quick and friendly from happy Angel!

I had breakfast here and it was so yummy. Staff are friendly and the coffee is great too!
Lots of vegan options and delicious wholesome foods.

Great place, wonderful coffee, delicious food (turkish eggs) beautiful interior .
