Cafe in Bath

“The Little Coffee Shop is a hidden gem that immediately captured our hearts. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by the sweetest barista, a lovely lady with soft grey hair and a genuinely kind demeanor. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel so comfortable, even as rain poured down outside. She took the time to chat with us, making sure our orders were perfect and adding that special personal touch that makes all the difference in a café experience. My mum decided on an English tea and an almond croissant, which she absolutely loved! The tea was perfectly steeped, served hot, and had that classic flavor she enjoys so much, complementing the almond croissant beautifully. The croissant was exceptional—flaky on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, with just the right amount of almond filling. The flavors were rich yet balanced, not overly sweet, making each bite truly delightful. It was clear that quality ingredients and craftsmanship went into creating this pastry. As for me, I chose a chocolate milkshake and a chocolate muffin, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. The milkshake was smooth, creamy, and wonderfully "milky," with a classic chocolate flavor that wasn’t overly sugary. It felt indulgent without being heavy, making it a refreshing yet satisfying treat. The chocolate muffin was just as delightful, moist and rich with a generous amount of chocolate. Both the muffin and milkshake hit the spot and made for a deliciously indulgent pairing. The café itself is small but incredibly charming, decorated with thoughtful touches that create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Despite the rain, which meant we couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating, the indoor setting was cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing with a warm drink and good company. The outdoor seating area looked lovely, though, and I can only imagine how wonderful it would be in the warmer months to sit outside, enjoying the ambiance and perhaps some sunshine. All in all, The Little Coffee Shop is a delightful spot that we’d highly recommend. With delicious food, comforting drinks, a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a great café experience. We’ll definitely be coming back for more.”

“What a delight! So glad we stopped in. Delicious food, perfectly cooked. Great glass of wine and beers. What a team running this lovely pub - we can’t wait to be back! Thanks for a lovely afternoon Fairfield Arms.”

“Loving the new Galleries cafe revamp in Freshford! Amazing that its now open longer hours and at weekends. Perfect tea stop after a country walk! We had great service from our lovely waitress Lucy, a scrummy selection of salads, quiches, sandwiches and delicious cakes, and great coffee too, all in the most beautiful location. Idyllic!”

“My favourite stop between Bristol and Bath. Absolutely beautiful and a lovely attraction to add to your journey. Cheap prices and a fantastic range of different meals I am stunned at what they can provide! A wonderful place to stop if you're cycling past on the Bristol / Bath Cycle Path. There is also a fantastic charity called wheelers that runs next to the waiting rooms that helps people with accessibility needs enjoy the wonders of cycling, I would highly recommend!”

“We had our company Christmas meal here. The Xmas menu was great and the food amazing. Ashley and Freya were fantastic and looked after us all evening. Fantastic value for money.”

“An Absolutely Perfect Wedding Day at The Crown at Kelston! We recently had the immense pleasure of celebrating our wedding at The Crown at Kelston, and we can genuinely say it was the most perfect day imaginable, largely thanks to the incredible team there. From our very first contact, we dealt with Neve, who was absolutely brilliant. Neve made the planning process seamless and stress-free. In the lead-up to the wedding, everything ran so smoothly that we genuinely didn't have to think about a single thing on the day itself – a true gift for any couple! Neve even coordinated directly with our florist, two musicians, the stretch tent company, and our cake supplier on the morning of the wedding, ensuring all suppliers were perfectly in sync without us lifting a finger. Whatever our request, big or small, nothing was ever an issue for Neve and the team. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond. On the day of the wedding, the staff worked effortlessly from start to finish. Their attentiveness, efficiency, and friendly demeanour were remarkable, ensuring all our guests were well looked after and the celebration flowed beautifully. And we must mention, the food was absolutely amazing – a real highlight that all our guests raved about! The atmosphere was exactly what we dreamed of, and every detail was handled with precision and care. We cannot recommend The Crown highly enough for any event, especially a wedding. If you're looking for a venue where you can relax and truly enjoy your special day, knowing everything is in expert hands, look no further! A huge thank you to Neve/Theo and all the staff for making our wedding day so incredibly memorable and perfect!”

“Really great venue, such a unique space. Huge room with dramatic sky light. Nowhere else like it in Bath. Coffee & juices excellent. Enjoyed my bacon bap with great hash browns. Young staff but very much on the ball. Recommended.”

“Enjoyed a work Christmas lunch. Great food and service. We had sharing platters for starters and mains, everything was incredibly tasty (the beef was a little on the rare side for me though).”

“Had an amazing lunch here today. After smelling delicious food half way down the road I decided to stop in and give it a try. The food was amazing and worth every penny. The waiters display passion and dedication which I really appreciated. Sitting near the bar and watching the bartender carefully make and serve drinks was a delight. I highly suggest attending this warm and welcoming restaurant!”

“Authentic family run Thai restaurant. Great value, quality food and service was great. Shout out to the young gentleman who served us. Impeccably polite, service with a smile.”

“Friendly staff. The set menu is pretty good. Steak was not bad and the sides were top notch. The jus/gravy was to die for. House wine with the set menu was excellent, well chosen whoever was responsible. Quick service.”

“We had two cappuccino and one lemon cake here. Coffee was really good however lemon cake was old and taste like fridge. Hope you understand what I meant. It tasted like they’ve put it into the fridge without covering it with anything.”

“As two Scots who wanted to find a cosy pub we were really pleased with the green tree. We were made welcome and had some great conversations and laughs. A genuine bunch of down to earth regulars! We felt like if we ever moved to Bath we could easily make friends in this pub. Thanks for the laughs!!”

“The Sunday Roast was our first and we loved it! The service was friendly and attentive. The mix of flavors was outstanding - braised cabbage, potatoes and roast beef all surpassed expectations. The restaurant felt homey and comfortable.”

“Came for a drink and a snack around 16:00, so the place was pretty much empty. Bartender was extremely nice and confirmed the kitchen was open! Got ciders and our first ever fish and chips (in England). Delicious! Delicious, and no judgment from staff for sharing (we're light eaters). Great pub near the Roman baths, definitely recommend.”

“Stumbled across this traditional, proper, English pub and what a refreshing change to a more modern boozer. A wide range of spirits, especially the rum selection. The barman was of a rare breed, where he looked after his customer's needs and was an ear for anyone with troubles or tales to tell. The owner/landlord was a character you rarely see nowadays. Buy him a shot and make a friend. The music, classic British. The decor classic British. With pictures of spitfires, British forces and Nigel Farage what more can you ask for. Oh, and beer is great. Try the black rat for cider lovers. Hope to stumble across it again soon. Cheers for the beers.”

“Such a fantastic authentic pub with a real fire and great pints. We loved the live music on Sunday too! Would love to return in the summer as there is a big beer garden with food trucks.”

“Lunch for four. All of our meals were really good quality and generous. Nice selection of fresh vegetables. Friendly service. Varied menu. Could not fault. Will return.”

“What a wonderful place for little ones to have fun! Today was our first session at the play hub and we loved it! I have a two year old, but it’s suitable for younger babies and toddlers alike. Such a lovely, open and safe space for little ones to play freely with lots of different sensory bits and pieces as well as a little sandpit, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself! Hot drinks are served in spill proof flasks, which is perfect keeping the little ones safe and there’s a great menu for little ones, with lots of options to choose from for a lovely little lunch! Also a lovely selection for the adults too! I will definitely return for another play session in the future!”

“Excellent venue and very approachable, polite staff. We watched the snow mice and it was brilliant. Will go again.”

“Lovely little pub in a sleepy village on the outskirts of Bath. My partner and I stayed for one night and it felt really homely and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive and the room was spacious, clean, and cozy. The bed was so comfy too! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.”

“Very nice meat and cheeseboard and a good selection of wines. The rest of the menu looked very appealing also but great if you just want a quick bite to eat.”

“incredible flat white and the cookies are the best i’ve ever had! staff were so lovely, lovely little cafe :) side note - the playlist was amazing, this place has great vibes!”

“We took my parents to the Elder for a very belated Christmas present and it was a fantastic evening in so many ways: some of the best food we’ve ever had combined with very attentive but relaxed service with a smile. We thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and felt very well looked after. Every course felt like a treat. We look forward to returning sometime soon.”

“Fantastic friendly staff, with great service from Sean and the team. Sam singing created a lovely atmosphere and the food was outstanding, especially the crumble and ice cream. Lovely to meet the owner and support this family pub which I'm looking forward to visiting again.”

“This pub was welcoming, and a relaxing place to have lunch. The menu had a good selection of typical pub dishes. Simple, rather than sophisticated, my steak sandwich was delicious, my wife enjoyed her quiche. Portions were generous. Pretty good value too.”

“Friendly staff and a fantastic array of quality beer, cider and lagers. Also good original music.”

“We hired the cellars for a party celebration and it was fantastic. Great location, easy to get to from town, perfect size, amazing speakers and our own private bar all night. Thanks again SJWV, we’ll be back x”
