Claire's Of Ilchester

the drinks here are taken seriously, which you'll notice pretty quickly. claire's sits on church street in ilchester, a quiet somerset town that doesn't see much passing trade, so the people who come in tend to come back. that kind of repeat loyalty doesn't happen at places that cut corners on what's in the cup. the menu leans into specialty coffee done with real intention, and whether you're after something milk-based or a cleaner filter-style drink, there's thought behind it rather than routine. if you're passing through the ba22 stretch of somerset, church street is worth the small detour. go mid-morning when things are still unhurried.
