"This is a real find. A lovely little community cafe serving the best breakfast we have found so far in Bath. It serves its own coffee blend which is lovely and smooth. A lovely space to just sit and be."
Neil - Bath
"Cute little place with plenty of seating that serves as a gallery too. Coffee, cake, lunch, brunch etc! We had the Good Bear, sourdough toast, kale pesto, grilled smoked bacon, fried eggs, Parmesan shavings and truffle oil. Delicious!"
Paula - Bath
"I am a really fussy coffee drinker. I have recently arrived from New Zealand, home of the world's best flat whites and have been really disappointed with UK coffees until I went to the Good Bear. Outstanding coffee, best in UK so far!"
