Bake & Brew in Gloucester

Fab place, highly recommended if you are in the area. Great food choices & lovely coffee. Staff very & service excellent. Dog friendly.

Perfect independent coffee shop, well done!

An amazing find, good food at a good price! Dogs are welcome! We will be visiting here regularly. Thank you

Having spent a week away in Wales with surprising few coffee shops we returned to Somerset via Gloucester Quays and were disappointed to find a Costa, I hate Costa with a passion, warm, it's brown warm muck from the Coca-Cola company. But then we found Bake and Brew, great service, lovely vegan cake and possibly the best oat latte that I've ever had in my life or I've spent too much time drinking chain store coffee. Amazing drink that I really needed.

Super breakfast today, quick service and excellent value for money, worth a visit, coffee was perfect, popular venue.

Lovely staff nice coffee and food

After being let down by Bills the night before, we decided to try here for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the veggie breakfast and it was lovely. It was nice to see halloumi on there, it's a rare but welcome find for myself. The portion size was great.

Had a delicious Sausage roll & coffee with Friends from Charlie’s Community support charity this afternoon . Service very friendly ‘ with a smile ,will certainly be recommending this place & will certainly be back to try your delicious cakes 💜

Really cosy coffee shop with great coffee and ciabattas.

Great little coffee shop in Gloucester quays Very friendly staff ,great coffee and highly recommend 😊

Very average Food a little expensive for what it is service was not friendly, slow and the tables were dirty. We had to clean our own table. Very cold inside with no heaters to be seen. I had the full breakfast and it was just average. Soup of the day was good but it got served way after our main food was served.

2 of us walked in and we were not greeted by any staff. The lady who came to take our order wasn’t friendly, she just took our order. I enjoyed the cappuccino but unfortunately the full breakfast was average and over priced for the quality.

A wonderful independent Cafe just around the corner from Gloucester Quays. Great quality food with really filling Ciabattas and a great range of delicious cakes. Not to be missed if you're visiting Gloucester.

Came here for lunch. Small and lovely atmosphere. Good choice of food and all tasty especially the cakes! Friendly staff, went the extra mile to provide food for my toddler. Will be back!

This is my wife and I spot.. We come here everytime we visit Gloucester and on this occasion came twice.. Very cosy place and food is delicious.

It's a snug little affair with decent prices for tea and coffee. (The rip-off prices for tea and coffee in the UK is a pet hate of mine). The broccoli and cheddar soup was amazing

Visiting Gloucester, went in for lunch. Girl on counter friendly, and looked at vegan options for one of us. Ended up with soup of the day which was great, generous portions. Good coffee. Great cosey feel to the place, dog friendly. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food. Loved the pickled cucumber that came along with the tasty & interesting veggie puff pastry rolls. Good coffee too. Thanks

Excellent cafe, really lovely food, a good selection of what looks like home made dishes for lunch. There is usually a different soup available each time we go, amazing chickpea and Greek salads, different cakes to choose from. I am trying to be healthy so mainly just have a smoothie - they are very nice. I have also have their cakes - so nice. We get a generous discount too with a student is card. Beautifully decorated, it feels really homely and the staff are all so lovely.

Good coffee. Breakfast is abit pricey

We visited in the early afternoon and seating was plentiful. I tried the brondie which was awesome. Coffee also good. Would definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend.

A really cosy place for coffee and light meals!

Lovely food, staff very friendly, great place to eat.

Lovely little cafe by the Historic Gloucester Docks. Friendly staff good food and that all important cup of coffee.

Chosen at random for its independence claims and felt that for once I'd stumbled on just the right venue, for a reunion meeting.. Great: coffee and simple food and service and atmosphere. Went back later in the morning.

We came here on our lunch break from college, the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. We ended up having some sausage rolls and some cakes, the sausage rolls were filling and delicious and the bacon brie and cranberry sandwich was very good. Overall, the service was very nice, they were very kind and welcoming towards you and made you feel much more welcomed. We will be returning on a later day due to the amazing quality.

Would make much more business if they diddn’t shut at 4pm each day. Many people would like to study there and grab a coffee. Bought a drink to then study there for an hour or so. They then tell me they shut at 4. It was 3:56. One not very happy customer.

Lovely place with nice range of cakes (quite a few vegan options) and hot food. Breakfast muffins are well worth it

This is a lovely little spot, particularly excellent brownies, I recommend the vegan almond one. Good selection of plant milks as well. The service is great and the staff are very helpful.

Great service and the milkshake is amazing

Great little cafe. We had the bacon and avocado on sourdough and it was very tasty. Took along time to be prepared but it was worth the wait.

A bit like the previous review, I really wanted to like this place (love independent places) but I was left a little disappointed. The service wasn’t particularly friendly and the coffee was weak/average yet incredibly high prices. It lacked a bit of warmth/atmosphere. The sausage rolls and salads coming out for lunch looked fantastic however.

You get plenty for your money. Well worth a visit

Good menu, reasonable prices and small quaint atmosphere.

Lovely breakfast and lovely staff and atmosphere

The photos we saw on Facebook before we visited made the cakes and hot chocolates look incredible and like it was a really special, cosy café. But unfortunately when we visited, we found that the brownies were tiny and dry, the shakes and hot chocolates were really average, and the cafe is very plain and lacks atmosphere. It wouldn't be so bad if the pricing and marketing reflected this, but we spent £40 on 5 teeny tiny, dry and not great tasting brownies and 5 disappointing shakes/hot chocolates. We really wanted to love this place but it is way overpriced and we didn't feel the reality reflected what was presented on social media.

Lovey Cafe to have brunch, service is excellent and the food is amazing! Will definitely return and recommend to others 🤩

It was a great little cafe that accepted children, babies, dogs as well as adults. The food was great, especially the sausage rolls (recommend pork and chorizo) and the cakes unbelievable with fantastic choice. Food and drinks (full cups of coffee and tea was served in a pot) were served quickly by pleasant, happy staff. Also accepted Bluelight. Dog was also happy with the free treats. Highly recommend.

Great food, coffee, and cakes. Staff are really helpful.

Just curious as to whether anyone else is told to wait at the door after they order their coffee to go out? Lol. If this is normal fair enough but something just felt off about the way staff told me to do this. It would be reassuring to know if this is normal practice that people of all backgrounds experienced

We didn't have time for food on this occasion, only coffee. We definitely be visiting again to try the food. The menu looked amazing.

Small cosy friendly great coffee and good food

Brilliant hot freshly roasted coffee . I had the red berry granola breakfast my husband had smashed avocado bacon and eggs on toast ! It was all so tasty . Great service fabulous location for the quays

Lovely independent coffee shop on Quays. Great coffee and croissants! Other food is available. We enjoyed sitting in the window watching the world go by.

Little gem of a place a 5 minute walk from Premier Inn Quayside where I was staying for a couple of nights. Lovely atmosphere, fab coffee and delicious bowl of porridge with fruit compote. Highly recommended - it’s just a shame I live so far away or I’d be there for breakfast each day ❤️

A gorgeous welcoming place. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The menu is brilliant and the coffee is delicious. My new favourite place.

Not an enjoyable experience. Our table was so close to the counter that I was rubbing elbows with customers placing orders, which was very intrusiveand off-putting. Having placed our order and taken our seats, we then noticed the 'toilets out of order' sign which requested that customers use the facilities in the Quays shopping centre. We paid over £30 for two regular breakfasts and two teas. The one sausage we each had was the thickness of my little finger and we had a small piece of bacon each. The sourdough toast was burned and rock hard. I would not recommend and will not be visiting again. Very disappointing.

Decent cafe, it's cosy inside, coffee is above average but could be a lot better. There's not much seating and the closeness to the docks means it's popular. The snacks, cakes, slices, and brownies are all excellent. They offer a sure variety of interesting sweet treats which often sell out. The treats are the main reason I come here, you can get better coffee elsewhere.

Situated in Llanthony Street, Bake and Brew cafe can be relied upon to deliver good quality breakfasts snacks and treats. Breakfast is great, as each item is carefully cooked and presented to ensure a very enjoyable meal. Drinks are also given the same care and flourish. Refreshing Smoothies and Milkshakes with cream, Coffee, Tea and delicious cakes. Vegan and gluten free options too.

Stumbled upon this place whilst staying 5 mins away and exploring the surroundings on arrival. Great little place and food is delicious Returned for a great breakfast with a coconut Chai Latté. So breakfast excellent but Chai Latté my new favourite. Cappuccino relegated to the sidelines for now.

Lovely soup, great atmosphere and attentive staff. We will come back.

Nice coffee shop, love that it welcomes dogs. Good food and tasty coffee Not wheelchair accessible, and difficult for those using other mobility aids to squeeze between the tables.

Absolutely loved this place. We went there for brunch, the food was delicious. Would highly recommend. 😋

Lovely little cafe, Coffee was good and nice selection of cakes and savory foods.

Popped in here for first time when at the quays for the Christmas Market on a Sunday afternoon. It was heaving, literally only had seats at the window. Had to wait some time to get served. Eventually, I got a seat as a couple with a baby were leaving. Toasted teacake very nice, but my hot chocolate with soya milk not very hot, as drank most of it when it arrived in one go. Apart from the drink it was very nice.

Delicious food, dog friendly and they cater to allergies (I am gluten free). The staff were polite and knowledgeable about allergens in the food. I will be visiting again ✨

Great little cafe. Excellent home cooked food, good veggie offerings. The 'sausage' rolls are a particular highlight.

Tasty breakfast and good tea and coffee.

Great cake display and good coffee

Great staff friendly lots of allergen options & dog friendly.

Great hidden gem 💎 lovely cosy cafe with tasty treats and friendly service with a smile, nice vibe to chill out and relax ☕️

Great staff. Coffee was amazing. The food was great too

Lovely independent Cafe. Child and Dog friendly. The coffee is good and the pastries and bacon sandwiches are delicious. The staff are friendly and the coffee and food is served up quickly. Can get busy but well worth dropping in!

Very good coffees. Reasonably quick service even though it was very busy. Nice outside seating too. Would come again for sure.

Food ok but not a good flat white, no texture no latte art and average flavour - nothing like the photos posted. A shame

Excellent place to have coffee and coke

Little gem of a cafe perfectly situated for exploring the quays. Great food, friendly staff, and dog-friendly. One cafe we regularly visit.

A real local find. Avoid the Bill's chain-store next door and come here for fabulous food, friendly staff and great atmosphere

This cafe just proves why independents in this sector are so much better than their high street counterparts. Lovely homemade brownies, good drinks and nice food with a great atmosphere.

Great dog friendly cafe , food was delicious and they were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Had a breakfast here on an overnight stay in Gloucester. Food exellent and good value for money. Staff friendly too and a good atmosphere. Will recomend if you are looking for a good cafe on Gloucester docks.

First visit, very pleased with the food. Nice home made sausage rolls, massive but very tasty. Will go again :-)

Great breakfast here, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Thanks!

Fantastic food on a little break from the office with my colleague. Great service and really chilled vibe. Definitely will be visiting more.

The coffee really is excellent here, certainly the best I’ve had on the Quays in a long time. Definitely worth the visit.

Lovely place. Will definitely be a regular stop

Popped in this morning whilst I needed to get a tad of work done, lovely service and a great selection of drinks and bakes. Decided to go with an iced coffee and a biscoff Brondie, both delicious!

First time visiting today. I had an English breakfast which was lovely and arrived in pretty quick time. Staff was friendly. Will be visiting again

Excellent americanos, brownies, lovely atmosphere

Dog friendly, great food and staff 😀 a good local spot when in Gloucester

Great brunches with all the vegan and veggie options.. Really friendly independent cafe, with a relaxed feel.

Had a lovely time here with friends last week. Spent the morning drinking coffee & cake and later on had lunch. It was quiet when we arrived at around 10am, and was packed out by lunchtime. Friendly attentive service. Dairy free & gluten free options provided. Will happily visit again when in the area.

Good coffee , nice cakes the menu is a bit boring . Both veggie sandwiches has pesto in them, so could be a bit more creative I would like .

Always lovely in here! The food is always spot on, the team are so nice. There is a reason we keep coming back :)

Fabulous coffee, best I've had in a while, and seriously tasty and tempting sweet treats. Definitely worth seeking out over the chain coffee shops.

Good food , good service. Great place to meet friends and have a chat.

Lovely little independent coffee place, had a tasty butternut squash pastry definitely going to be a regular place for lunch

Was served a very enjoyable latté with a mellow roast and perfect milk temperature by friendly welcoming staff. A deservedly popular place, convenient for the Docks and outlet shops.

Lovely lunch at Bake & Brew, delicious homemade soup and sausage rolls!

It's a nice little shop, bit expensive for what it is. Had the breakfast muffins but were nothing special, it was OK.

We ate breakfast here this morning and were pretty underwhelmed. All 3 of us had some variation on the breakfast muffin and a hot drink and the bill came to just under £30. Food was ok, but nothing memorable. Very bland and not much flavour, and absolutely not worth the £7+ charged for each muffin. Unfortunately my coffee was awful, tasted very burnt and possibly the worst coffee ive had in years. The cafe itself has a nice atmosphere, pleasant staff and good decor. Its a nice space and well laid out.but the quality of the coffee and food lets it down. Overall it was very overpriced for what it was. We would not return or reccommend.

Spent a month travelling the UK. In all that time I only managed to find 2-3 places that had drinkable coffee. I only found one place that served a good cup. This is the place! Coupled it with a BBQ Bacon Sausage Roll that was fairly decent.

Great dog friendly cafe! Had a full English and was great. Hubs had a blt was all fresh and very hot. They apologised for being short staffed but was still great.

Lovely independent cafe in a sea of chain eateries in Gloucester Docks area. We had great veggie breakfast, but the sausage rolls (including veggie versions) and the cakes looked amazing. Staff were super-friendly too. Highly recommended to avoid the run-of-the-mill cafes and restaurants in this area.

Great coffee, lovely cakes, friendly staff and a nice space.

Decent coffee but needs a more varied cake selection to make it 5 stars.

Excellent coffee. Clean, cheerful, and light interior with comfy seats. Food menu looks great but a star lost for microwaving the sausage roll to heat it up.

Had a breakfast after going around the market that was on on the quays also pet 🐕 friendly

Wonderful indie coffee shop/eatery in Gloucester. Delicious flat white and tea cake consumed today, but the menu has a great variety of shakes, brownies and brunch offerings. Lovely staff, clean and welcoming venue.

Were in Gloucester to see the canal museum and wanted good coffees. Bake and Brew came up and we popped in initially for Cortados. Strong, hot and hit the spot. So we came back for lunch and tried the specialty sausage rolls with salad and I had a flat white as well. My Hunters sausage roll with coleslaw was delicious and the flat white was less strong than the cortado and could have been a little hotter but was still a very nice coffee. My partner’s specialty milk shake to accompany her feta sausage roll was also delicious.
