Bear's serves the best quality coffee in Uttoxeter. Unfortunately today the cafe was too busy for the staff to cope. My toast ordered with my coffee didn't appear. A full refund, and excellent coffee, makes me confident in returning another time but I probably won't order food from the kitchen.

Nowhere to sit but loads of tables reserved for people arriving in over an hours time. Nice and warm in Greggs for less than a third of what I'd have spent in this place. Avoid.

I've previously visited Bear and been complimentary, hence my return. However, there has been a price hike, my bacon was overdone and the wait for my food was noticeably longer than any other time I had visited.

Stop blocking the pavements with your tables, chairs and flower pots. You have absolutely no right to block a pavement and force people to walk in the road.

Bear was always my go to when visiting uttoxeter. They use to do amazing homemade pancakes with mascapone and fresh fruits. We ordered the American pancakes for £9 and were served 3 packet pancakes with some little pots of sides, so disappointed as the quality has completely changed. Use to recommend this place alot unfortunately wont be visiting again

If we lived locally then this would be our go to place for brunch. Nice ambience, friendly and efficient service and a kitchen that's proud to make beautiful plates of tasty food for its customers. Well done BEAR Uttoxeter.

My husband booked a table for my birthday on Saturday. Awful experience. Walked in and neither of the two members of staff behind the bar greeted us. Unsure of the service, we told them we had a table, to which the lady grunted that our ‘booth was over there with our name on!’ We ordered drinks that took 40 mins to arrive - well after we had finished our meal. The meal was shocking. I ordered angry mac bites and my meal arrived with chips drizzled with a bit of mayo. I asked the lady where the angry mac bites were to which she replied that ‘they had upgraded my fries instead’!!! Then very aggressively asked if I wanted her to go and swap my fries. To which I declined because of her strange and rude behaviour. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak and it wasn’t great either. There was barely any meat. Peppers and onions were negligible. Hubby’s chicken burger was nicer but worth the price?! NOPE! We got out of there as quick as we could so as not to ruin the whole evening. Very disappointed as the experiences we have had at the one in Ashbourne have been very different.

Went to BEAR Uttoxeter for the first today and was really impressed. As a mixed bunch - a vegan, a vegetarian, a 'normal' person 🤣, a 2 year old and a dog - it was great to find a place that welcomed and catered for each one of us. The vegan breakfast was much more interesting than a lot I have had and was delicious and the others all said how nice the food and drinks were, including the two year old. (There is a children's menu though I hadn't spotted it on the website.) The staff were friendly and helpful and cleared away crockery without making it feel like a hint that we should be leaving. Four hot breakfasts and 4 drinks for £47 which I thought was good value for the quality and quantity. I am already planning a return trip with someone else who really must try the vegan breakfast. PS No photos because I don't do that but, trust me, it is very Instagram-able. 😁

BEAR- A welcoming cafe with a Positive atmosphere. Went there for Breakfast. Usually i prefer going to local cafe’s to explore more about the town and this is the best pick. Really good staff and food was also amazing. Staff really helped in swapping and arranging food according to my dietary requirements as well. Highly recommended place to go. Baked food was soo fresh that you can smell it in the ambience.

First impressions count… and we didn’t really want to sit on the dirty stained seats 😏 It’s off-putting, they need to be cleaned or reupholstered. Coffee and tea were good. The full breakfast was ok, if a bit pricey at £13.20. Also the toast that comes with the breakfast is sourdough bread. So the toast is very hard and chewy - and not good for dipping into your egg and beans. Perhaps try a softer bread for the breakfast toast?

The customer service and food here are amazing! Due to an honest misunderstanding a certain part of my meal was left off my plate (I have food intolerances and they thought the ingredients contained dairy when in fact they are vegan). The manager was wonderful, sorted the problem and went over and above to ensure we were happy. Could not recommend this place enough for food, service and dealing with food intolerances.

It is said to be the best coffee in Uttoxeter, which is actually not bad. However, the service staff at cafes in the UK, both male and female, are basically polite. People like us from Hong Kong are frightened when going to restaurants. I'm very satisfied.

Disappointed- having regularly visited I’ve past years. They’ve lost their edge and sparkle for me - the House made granola was underwhelming with Rice Krispies predominant and very little else - overpriced for regular cereal, and cinnamon roll not fresh despite advice to the contrary. Poached eggs on toast was good as it used to be.

What a shame, used to be a great place for a business lunch. Staff very unattentive and rude when asking to clear away dirty cups that had been on the table over an hour. Preferring to stand talking.

Visited at 2:20pm today, ordered coffees… I then went to the toilet and came back, I saw my order on the side… we were the only people in there so I knew it was ours, I then proceeded to sit and wait a full 5 minutes whilst staff had a chat before bringing over our coffees which tasted bitter and barely warm. Although this was disappointing, when I was served initially, the staff member was very polite as bear staff always are. And the café was clean and welcoming, I just would have preferred to been given my drinks whilst hot and fresh.

I would normally sing the praises of Bear but a recent visit was very disappointing. Hygiene not up to scratch, a long ( 45 minutes) wait to receive food, and a flat atmosphere made this visit very poor. Add to this an unapproachable member of staff serving behind the bar who was not communicating with ANY customers ( middle age and colder than a block of ice) Bear used to be the place to be, with so much better choice in Uttoxeter it’s rapidly turning into the place to avoid if you want great customer service as well as good food.

I went to Bear last week to try the new menu, it seemed a bit overpriced compared to other local cafes. The food was good and was delivered quickly, however, an item we hadn't ordered (cup of green tea) arrived and as my friend and I had arrived and ordered separately didnt notice. Ten minutes later, after we'd eaten our meal, the server said they'd made an error and given us a tea by mistake and that we needed to pay for it! We tried to explain the situation, but to no avail. I've emailed Bear but have had no response. Surely they could've let it go, I felt like I'd been accused of shoplifting...and green tea of all things!

Unfortunately, I have have to knock some of stars off this review now. My recent visits to Bear have been somewhat disappointing, with food consistently arriving cold after being left out in the kitchen for protracted amounts of time, meaning I have had to ask for it to be sent back. This is obviously not acceptable. I don't know if this is a training, staffing, or organisational issue, but this has happened on both of my last two visits. While I appreciate that the food is freshly prepared, it is vitally important that it is then delivered to patrons in a timely manner.
