Archway Cafe in Bath and North East Somerset

It's a great place that's been going for many years Good food friendly staff and a warm welcome

As a true Bath-onion 😊 I say that this is the only proper greasy spoon in Bath. Great Staff . Clean and tidy. A great hit with builders with reasonable prices.

This place is fantastic. English breakfast the way it should be. A magical little place that’s loaded to the rim with gritty charm and great people.

Lovely full English with a nice cup of tea. Very tasty, well priced, friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Under the old arches small cafe good food for the working persons

Sat outside so unable to fully mark

Proper traditional cafe fresh baked bread perfect for a full english plus has a unique interior.

Great place, always get a reasonably priced breakfast, that will fill you up with a free cuppa :)

Stunning traditional cafe Serves the best value full English in bath Great food and bouncy staff Set in the arches under the railway

Loved this place for a full English breakfast. Never realised it was as large inside. Will definitely use it again when in the area.

Staff could be more greeting with the customer or even a smile 😁

Usually have had good food and service. But on this occasion I was deeply shocking when I was there ordering a saw a small mouse/rat on the floor behind the tills where they cook the food.

Took my car to Bath for service and MOT. While I waited for the car I took a walk to find some food. Came across The Archway Cafe. From the outside it does not look much of a cafe. Went inside, a small area where you ordered takeaway or sit in. Went into the seating area and boy did it open up. A bit like the Tardis, a room with several tables then another room with loads more tables. Food was good though I thought a little bit pricy, £9 for 2 sausage 2 bacon 1 egg beans tomato 2 slices of bread of which 1 was toasted, and a cup of coffee. All tasted great. I went in about 9.15 and it wasn't busy but believe it could busier earlier on.

Closes early, only good for breakfast

A great cafe in a unique setting. I always love a trip to the archway. Best breakfast in Bath. Great staff always helpful with a great sense of humor. You always get a good portion and great value for money.

Surprised how big inside fast and quick service

Decided to give it a try. Turned out to be like the Tardis as much bigger inside that out! Wonderfull food and great service.

This place was super busy when we arrived which we took to be a good sign! Very friendly staff and food was simply divine. Would recommend

Simply delicious, was very busy when we came which we took to be a good sign! Very friendly staff too!

Aways welcoming foods great,tea and coffee good and always leave with a good food belly......

Decent old fashioned fry up as opposed to the poncey rubbish you get these days in the majority of places, good value good flavour, main road location

Nice fry up. Staff friendly, reasonably priced

Miserable ladies in here who seem like they don't want to be there. No please or thankyou throughout visit. I was made to feel like an inconvenience throughout. A real shame as only semi decent breakfast available in bath. Won't be returning

I’ve been to this fantastic caf a dozen times recently and you can’t fault it. Rather like Dr Who’s Tardis, the small unassuming entrance opens out onto a large pair of eating areas under the railway arches, hence the name. Not only is the food delicious but the staff are very friendly and super efficient. Pete is sure to bring a smile to your face, however early in the morning. One of Bath’s true Gems. 11/10 ( Note: Usually parking available outside. )

Very busy at times with local workers looking for breakfast or early lunch. Order and pay as you go in. The standard breakfast items are good. You can ask for things cooked how you like. Friendly staff. Sit and read the supplied newspapers. Watch your head if you want to sit in the backroom. Not trying to be anything but what we used to call "transport cafe". Loved it

Naming a breakfast a ‘girl’s breakfast’ because it has one less sausage and bacon than the regular breakfast. I thought it was 2022, not the fifties. Who knew!

The best sandwiches in Bath. Thank you

I was surprised how quiet it was given its location and the quality of the food. My only gripe is that a large breakfast has only one egg, that’s cost cutting at its meanest.

Fantastic breakfast served by a shop full of lovely ladys.

Had a lovely plant based fry up at the Archway this morning. Tea & toast to go with. Friendly staff made all the difference and the food was good and plentiful for the cheap price of going anywhere else. Plenty of parking right outside. Quite unique hearing the trains pass overhead, right on time

Fast service on the morning were there

Great speedy service and good value for money. I will be visiting again soon

Expect a brilliant homemade fry up! Nothing fancy here just a simple honest breakfast that will sort out that craving for a fry up!

Great little cafe, if you want cheap ingredients on the go. With over forty seats, don't expect fine dining, buy a builders emporium, where humour, fast service and location is part of the experience.

Best Big English Breakfast for £8 anywhere ..well done Wesley👍👍👍

Great food and service. I had the girls breakfast and it was just enough for me, my husband had a normal size and struggled. Great staff and very good value for money

I'm in most mornings friendly staff we can have a laugh good food and set yourself up for the day I highly recommend it 👍

Now this is what I was looking for in Bath a great breakfast well priced, great food, decent portions and lovely staff. Thank you!! Better than all the cafes aimed at tourist. We'll be back.

Excellent breakfast , unusual setting would recommend highly . Much better than McDonald's across the road 👌😌

Breakfast cafe, excellent bacon sandwich and friendly staff. Not a lot else to say.

I seen a post on fb and thought I would try it out with friends.the coffee OK only a pound,but £4.00 for beans on toast??I should have tried the girls breakfast.i cancelled the beans on toast and just had toast.overpriced.£4.50 for bacon sandwich???I think I will stick with rose cottage community hub.

Just had the biggest and best egg and bacon roll of my life ! Very friendly lady that served me and will most certainly be going back. Thank you

Excellent service and staff are friendly aswell will go again soon

We are losing places like that...old English cafes with affordable prices...now all are posh pubs serving pub food with Michelin star restaurant prices

Quality and quantity here very nice

Still the best gressey anywhere and long may it last

Nice breakfast bit pricey though

Awesome find, good traditional cafe, decent food, real people. Also nice feel to it, feels like a pub inside.

Really good value, low price but big portion, good quality, nice and hot plus good service. Highly recommended.

This place is a true hidden gem! It looks tiny from the front, but it opens out to fill two of the railway arches. The decor is surprisingly cozy and retro, and the staff are really friendly. We always have the large breakfast, which is really nice and incredibly filling. They have lots of stuff pre-preped so the food comes out really quickly, even when they are very busy. This is our favourite thing about them, as we are often in a hurry. Well worth a visit!

Always fast service, huge porsions and tasty food.

Lovely staff, food is quick and decent quality. Would of given it 5 stars but parking can be a pain sometimes.

Small breakfast, way to expensive for what you get.

Good size portions, price's comparative to others, polite staff, good selection of condiments on every table. Would recommend on the whole.... Typical old school transport cafe style set up.

Bacon's good, sausages on the cheap side. Good old fashioned greasy spoon. No frills. Not the cheapest tho.

Geart little place for breakfast

I love this place, the owner is a big flamboyant character who’s friendly personality puts a smile on your face every time! They serve some of the best sausage I’ve ever had.

Friendly staff, good honest food 👍

Nice full English breakfast. Reasonable price and quick service.

Very nice cafe with friendly staff and an amazing breakfast

Did not visit just parked outside.

Awesome little cafe! Was really busy and we got served in no time. Reccomend!

My favourite cafe in Bath..proper brekkie even do a girlie one for the missus..Comes with proper crusty bread

Once again I have had the luck to stop at this fantastic cafe, the food is delicious and very good value

Been here quite a few times and it never disappoints. Friendly staff, even when you turn up 15 minutes before closing time ( as I did today). Had the girls breakfast with tea and thick toast... egg as always cooked to perfection. Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had. Don't just take my word for it! It is amazing x

Friendly, cheerful service. Although it looks small from the outside it has space for 50 people. The food is well cooked and tasty. Specialising in traditional English breakfast, you have the choice of two sizes, normal or 'girls'.

One of the last true greasy spoons left in Bath :-)

Expensive they've put the price of a breakfast up to £7.00.

One of the best breakfasts around don't matter where we are at Bath we go thete

Went for breakfast with family this morning lovely friendly staff and cooked to order. I had a sausage and egg sandwich which arrived before i had sat down really good service and it is an amazing quirky place food is fantastic would throughly recommend .

Good place for breakfast clean and good staff

From the outside you wouldn't think that much as it looks small. When you go in its like the tardis. Service is incredible. Food is fantastic and I've never been to a cafe that gets the food out so quickly and fresh. Highly recommend this place.

Probably the best breakfast for miles. Fresh quality ingredients and second to none service. Spotless clean .

Lovely breakfast with crusty fresh bread and excellent sausages.

Fab food for a reasonable price.let down by coach parking restrictions.

Best place to hang out in the mornings after a night at work. Value for money and a bit of banter thrown in. They also cook fantastic DEAD! Bacon lol

La encantadora cafetería antigua construida en los arcos del ferrocarril y es engañosamente espaciosa una vez dentro. Un excelente desayuno inglés completo con pan y mantequilla adicionales y un café para 6 personas, no se alarme cuando un tren pase por encima. . . . . añade el encanto de los cafés. He estado usando el servicio regular durante más de un mes mientras trabajaba en el área y continuará regresando.

great little place, unfortunately they don't make them like this anymore.very good value for money,a proper breakfast

Good hearty breakfast cooked to order or thick cut filling sandwiches friendly staff

Fantastic breakfast best value anyone can get

Excellent service,food,atmosphere!!What more could u want from an eaterie??

It's a tardis, much bigger inside than out. And great food with friendly staff.

Good honest cafe, looks like a roadside hut but has hidden depths- back dining areas in the arches of railway. Plenty of space. Some outside seating. Food is good, service fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable.

Excellent place to have breakfast. Place was clean and food was lovely. Friendly staffs.

The best fry up in Bath, as simple as that!

One of the best cafes around, Wes and the team are great, food is fantastic

Al estar en Bath en un descanso de 45 minutos realicé algunas investigaciones en Google Maps para encontrar un lugar para un sándwich de tocino y el Archway Cafe estaba a 10 minutos a pie desde donde estaba estacionado. ¡Días felices! !Desde el exterior, parece una choza muy pequeña, pero una vez dentro es bastante grande. Tuve un sándwich de tocino y huevo para llevar que se hizo en minutos y fue encantador! Esta es una "cuchara grasienta" (gracias a Dios todavía quedan algunas!) Y su menú es bastante extenso, por lo que hay mucho para elegir.En general, es un lugar estupendo para tomar el desayuno en Bath. Si vuelvo a la ciudad y busco algo para comer, este lugar será mi primer puerto de escala. . . . ¡Fantástico! !

One of the best independent cafes in bath. Its got everything you want for pub grub. Its got good sizeable portions, the food is up my alley. The breakfasts are decent and the menu is inexpensive and has a good choice. The service is always friendly and welcoming, recommend this place strongly.

Absolutely fantastic food and service

Great prices and large portion sizes.

Es lo que es, una cafetería que hace buenos desayunos. No te dejes engañar por el exterior ya que el interior está bien dispuesto con mucho espacio, en realidad bastante acogedor.Los desayunos son grandes y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Si pudiera cambiar una cosa, la margarina utilizada en el pan no es buena.

Lush full English breakfast and good banter!

When ever I’m working in Bath I have my breakfast here, good food, staff are very friendly and helpful

I love this place staff really friendly food good quick service,i read with interest the review written by the coach driver,what a selfish man probably wanted to have a coffee and sit there all day so he does not pay coach parking charges,whilst nobody else can park!

Service rapide avec un bon accueil. Très bon et prix intéressant

Good value, fast service and friendly staff

Expensive way to eat cheap food.

The staff have taken to calling the parking wardens to book the coaches, even those whose drivers eat, or used to eat, in the café. I'll not be back.

Cheap sausages bacon like cardboard. Not good ..

Love going here..good food ..and good friendly staff..very popular
