“ Luckily we got the best seat and had a wonderful view of the river! Yummy fresh cakes and desserts with coffee! The prices are also reasonable. ”
“ First of all, the food here was incredible! We had a fantastic cream tea with tasty homemade scones, and also a slice of banoffee cake to share between the two of us which we loved. We were sat by the window and the view was gorgeous over the river as we watched it get dark... The service was also amazing, the lady serving and at the counter was incredibly sweet and friendly, treating every customer coming in with love :) Would highly recommend! ”
“ Went twice during our visit, both times it was amazing service! Breakfast was great, for a late lunch the baguettes were a nice choice. It’s a small spot with only one or two employees so waiting for a spot will take some time but takeaway is a nice, you can stand by the bridge and have your coffee. ”
“ Instantly felt welcomed the moment we walked through the door. A small quaint cafe full of character with a beautiful view over the River Avon. The food was delicious and well presented, which made for the perfect experience. Would very much recommend it to anyone visiting Bath. ”
“ This is a great spot. Amazing view and friendly staff. I enjoyed everything I got here and they get you in and out pretty quickly. There is limited seating during the weekend so it could be more of a grab and go kind of place if you go during a busier time, but they reduce the price for to go orders which is nice. I would definitely come back! ”
“ Lovely cafe with a gorgeous view out over the weir. We walked past a couple of times waiting for one of the window seats to be free which was well worth the wait! The cakes were delicious - particularly the ones with fruit in. The staff were also very welcoming - will be visiting again for sure! ”
“ Beautiful pancakes. Cost 7.50. Very filling and great value for money. Nice, cosy atmosphere with a great view of the river. ”
“ Extremely busy when we visited in June, with downstairs and upstairs seating available. The food and English tea were extremely good, especially the handmade scones with clotted cream, and the views while dining upstairs were gorgeous! Would definitely recommend although it may require a bit of a wait. ”
