Welcome to Cafe La Strada

“ A lovely café in the heart of Frome. We had excellent café lattes and enjoyed fresh, delicious cakes. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is warm and charming. Highly recommended. ”

“ La Strada is our favourite place to have brunch in Frome. We are very lucky to have such a great selection here, but this just tops it for us. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and are engaging when you ask for a recommendation. The place is always busy, which is a sign of its popularity. There is seating over two floors, so you have plenty of choice. The food is consistently excellent. Our go-to choices are the English breakfast and the club sandwich. The English breakfast is made with high-quality local ingredients and this shows in the taste. It isn't greasy, which is a relief, as so many cooked breakfasts can be. Toast is extra, but there's already plenty on the plate. The club sandwich is unbelievably moreish. I always try to have something else when we visit, to broaden my horizons, but I see it on the menu and I order it because it is so comforting to eat. It's also the perfect amount, with the four quarters of sandwich and a sensible portion of crispy fries in the middle. Ask for some garlic mayo with them for top-level tastiness! The coffee is Illy brand, which is great quality and reliably tasty. They have an array of other hot and cold drinks available, if coffee isn't to your liking. The cakes are also excellent quality and extremely tasty. My partner is a great fan of the humble flapjack; it is his automatic sweet choice when out having a coffee. The flapjack at La Strada is highly rated by him. I can personally recommend the Pastel de Almendras and also the yoghurt-coated slice. The prices are reasonable (in my opinion), with two meals and two coffees coming to around £16-17 per person. So, if you're visiting Frome and wondering where to have a great bite to eat, this is the place. ”

“ Cafe la Strada is a refreshingly good example of a well run independent café. The food is better than good and the service outstanding. The Spanish almond cakes are probably the best cake I've eaten in many years. The food is really well prepared and cooked on site. The cleanliness exceeded my wife's high requirements and frankly I'm contemplating going back just for the cake and coffee. ”

“ I have always loved La Strada - the staff, ice cream, coffee and food have always been wonderful. This morning whilst waiting for my coffee I was feeding my baby and despite being short staffed someone noticed and offered/brought me a glass of water without me asking. They read my mind before even I had a chance to! That little bit of kindness has set me up for the day, thank you La Strada! ”

“ Popped in for tea and cake. A lovely place to visit with friendly staff who helpfully recommend what delicious cakes to have. It wasn't busy on the late Saturday afternoon when we visited and managed to get the window seat looking on to the church. Just a lovely place to drink tea and have a catch up. ”

“ Delighted to find a rare flavour gelato here. Liquorice!!! Very very good. All made fresh too. Could taste the chunks of fruits in the berry one. Very very good and the staff was friendly ”

“ Walked in for an iced tea after a hectic day. Delicious and rich peach flavour, only 4£! There is so much variety, from drinks to chocolates to gelato. Location is central, in a picturesque street. Staff is lovely and efficient. ”
