Abbey Tea Rooms & Restaurant

You're on Magdalene Street, just across from those iconic Abbey grounds, and you've wandered into the sort of tearoom that takes itself seriously without being precious about it. Abbey Tea Rooms occupies a beautiful period building and does the full ritual properly: loose leaf tea, tiered cake stands laden with finger sandwiches and homemade cakes, warm scones with clotted cream and jam. It's the kind of place where you'll actually see people choosing their tea from a proper menu rather than dunking a bag in hot water. The setting feels authentically Glastonbury—a bit bohemian, slightly old-fashioned in the best way, with genuine care put into presentation and sourcing.
