It used to be a centre of excellence for coffee, alas, Icarus flew too close to the Sun. I don't mind having my long black corrected to a "lungo" and, yes, I do understand they are different, but that doesn't need to be done with a smarminess rivalling that of our local Tory MPs. I've previously had excellent experiences here; great service, even better coffee, but 2024 has seen their fall from grace. This trip will be my last. I spent £20 on 150g of their "rare" Gesha, only to find it has the nostril notes of peas, and the oral notes of battery acid. I've spent more money on fewer beans and had an exponentially better experience. Perhaps the rarity of the beans explains why they were a month old when I purchased them. 2 stars instead of 1 because I've discovered freewill and will use that to never return. 🤝🏻

I had a lovely time here. They served great coffee and excellent hot chocolate. They took coffee very seriously; there is a large collection of coffee machines downstairs. If u want to charge your phone or computer, there is a very limited socket there, so it would be good to have more sockets.

Came for the pourover, left disappointed. The grinder was being 'cleaned'. However, we did have espresso. The espresso we had initially was the house Ethiopian which was good, nothing unusual or exciting particularly, then also tried a fancier Nicaraguan which was excellent, really balanced, sweet and fruity and worth the visit alone. Will have to come back another time to try some pourover!

This place is a real gem, slightly off the beaten track but kind of diagonally opposite the Jane Austen museum. The coffee is so smooth and tasty, lots of varieties to choose from and the owner/staff are serious coffee buffs. Highly recommend.

Top 3 decaf oat milk lattes of all time for me. This place is next level in terms of coffee geekiness - in a good way. And not only that but they are welcoming and sell all kinds of coffee gear and books. Honestly it’s quite spectacular.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff (Doug & Nina on this occasion) with high quality coffee made with the right quality of water and I will also back up claims made about the carrot cake which acts as an added bonus to the overall experience.

Very cosy place on a very quiet & central street in Bath. The atmosphere is lovely and they make great use of their indoor space. The staff are also friendly & approachable. I've been there many times and have never really enjoyed their coffee, but the atmosphere & vibes make up for it. Their wifi never works well and the service can be very slow. I'd still go there, nevertheless.

I recently visited this café in Bath and was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the coffee and the delicious cakes on offer. Coffee: We ordered the Inzi Colombia Coffee and Ruby Coffee, and both were exceptional. The richness and depth of flavor in each cup were something you shouldn’t miss if you find yourself in Bath. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or just someone looking for a great cup, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Cakes: We tried the Carrot Cake and the Orange and Blueberry Cake. The Carrot Cake was, without a doubt, one of the best I’ve had in the UK. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and you could truly taste the carrot in a soft, spongy texture that wasn’t overly sweet or heavy—just right. As for the Orange and Blueberry Cake, it was also delightful, with a fresh, zesty flavor that complemented the coffee well. Atmosphere: The café had a cozy, welcoming vibe, but I do think adding some background music like deep house or jazz would enhance the overall experience. It would create a more relaxed ambiance and elevate the already great atmosphere, making it an even more enjoyable place to unwind. If you’re in Bath, don’t miss the chance to visit this café. Amazing coffee and cakes, with just a tiny suggestion for improvement on the ambiance!

The carrot cake stole the show. Perfectly moist, the icing not too sweet and no overpowering cinnamon which I find in many other carrot cakes. The Espresso was decent, nothing extraordinary. Service was attentive and good. Seating is limited and the stools are very small and narrow

I read the reviews on google and try. Yes, the artisan coffee is great, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is relax and I like the simplicity decor. It offers outdoor seat but it’s a bit small and not spacious. I couldn’t give 5 stars: - price is bit high ( carrot cake + cappuccino £8) I understand here is Bath city centre. - The seat is made of hard wood and it is narrow and small, it is not comfortable to sit on. - I know there’s lots of good comments for the carrot cake, think it’s not my taste. The frosting is really good, soft and not too sweet, the sponge is moist. However, the taste is bland. No raisins, no nuts and no cinnamon flavour and the key issue to me is I taste the strong baking soda.

I was recommended to try this coffee shop in bath and our airbnb was actually very close to the cafe but we didn’t manage to visit until our last day. It was really cool to see then making coffee non-stop using airpress and it was great to try their gesha beans at £5.50. Their pastry was really tasty as well and the whole place breathed coffee and its artistry.

Pretentious and disappointing. I've visited a few times now and the experience has only gotten worse as time has gone on. The person serving patronisingly explained coffee whilst outloud judged what you ordered. After not listening and making the wrong order we had to re-order a missing flapjack which was now too late to enjoy with the coffee. This was then forgotten about again and we subsequently decided to take it away after paying for the privilege of eating in. On top of this the coffee was average at best.

The place looks quite serious and they are visibly trying to hit a mark of a quality specialty roaster and brewer. Having said so, despite having four people at the rush hour they are not coping with the load well. It took 20 minutes from ordering to receiving 2 cups of coffee, and the filter felt under-extracted…

Honestly, the service was exceptionally poor. They were incredibly pretentious and did the opposite of making us feel welcome. I asked what flavoured coffee they recommended, and in response, they said they didn't do flavours and looked at me blankly. So I corrected myself and said 'tasting notes' then. The server proceeded to walk off and say he would return in a minute. It's an uncomfortable setting, so if you want to spend some time in there, I wouldn't recommend it. Their coffee was delicious, but after starting to feel quite anxious after the interaction I had with the server, I wanted to leave.

Glad I found this place in the recommended coffee shops in Bath. Good sized with a minimalist and clean decor which I loved. The wooden benches and tables and subtle wall colours provide a good backdrop to the colourful products on shelves and the posters. There is a small area up in the front with bookshelves and benches against them which is inviting for people looking for a quiet space to read and/or work. The staff are wonderful - cheerful, helpful and friendly. Since they procure, process and make their coffee from scratch with flavours varying, I needed some help understanding and then making a selection. When we visited, I chose the Mozambique variant after getting a good explanation from the staff member. The coffee was good and the much talked about carrot cake didn't disappoint at all! It was moist, perfect sweetness with excellent frosting and went down well with the coffee. They have a small outdoor seating space which might be a nice spot in summers. It will definitely be in my list of places to visit for coffee/cake when in Bath.

In fair disclosure, I met the owner at a chocolate festival and so we came to check out his shop. It is not in the hustle and bustle of Bath, but just off Queen Square so it is easy to walk to and a bit of a refuge from the touristy, Bridgerton fan, Christmas market chaos. My husband loved his coffee. The staff were wonderful. The carpet cake is apparently made by a local and I loved it. It looks like chemistry kits in the table after they make some of their special coffees that I do not understand. The owner is a barista champion. Fun place and not overloaded with tourists. It is a local spot. Friendly, happy.
