Cafe au Lait in Bath and North East Somerset

Great coffee. The staff are super polite and efficient as well.

Great coffee which is a rarity in the UK. Food was good, very enjoyable but nothing fantastic. Good for the price. Inside was quite stuffy, some air circulation would be nice but over all a good experience. Nice work on the coffee!

A great stop for a tea or coffee while waiting for the train. It gets quite crowded so you may need to wait for a suitable seat

Delicious food and excellent selection with a very nice atmosphere'

Beautifully presented food and drink with a good taste. A bit more expensive than most places but you get what you pay for!

Super breakfast this morning and great coffee. Fab start to the day, thank you l.

The food in here seems to be very good, I think I should have ordered something else. My streaky bacon and pancakes were not like any pancakes I've had before nor ever want again. More like a bread roll. Everybody else's food looked good but I didn't enjoy mine.

Decent coffee, very sweet cookie, good if you have a sweet tooth! Avocado toast was on plain toast. All tasted fine. Handy for station, as right opposite.

Very friendly, accommodating & helpful staff. All day full english was a bit too much food for me.

I am just going straight to the point...I bought a bottle of nozecco (non alcoholic prosecco) for all of us to share. Which I wasn't expecting to pay £25.00 for!!! The reason for that price when asked why £25.00 for a non alcoholic bottle of prosecco (which at the most is £4.00), was, "we don't have a code and have never had a code so we charge at the same as a prosecco" this is unfair pricing, outrages!!!!

If you are looking for a great coffee and great service, this is the place to go. The staff are friendly regardless of how busy they are. Definitely my preferred place to grab a coffee on the way to the office.

The breakfast and coffee are both delicious and it's a nice shop!!

Nice little cafe opposite the train station, went for brunch , food was to a good standard and service was good.

Loved this place! Was recommended it for a last minute breakfast and I was impressed by the food options, service and atmosphere. Went on a busy Saturday morning and the staff were super sweet. Reasonably priced too.

Fantastic service and best breakfast ever!

This cafe is directly opposite Bath Spa train station. There is seating available outside, bar seating & several tables inside. They had many breakfast options including the usual Full English / breakfast baps, Eggs Benedict & veggie options. They also offer granola, porridge & several pancake options. We had a Biscoff & whipped cream pancake stack & porridge with berries & banana. Variety of milk choices are available for your drinks etc. Service was efficient & friendly & prices were reasonable.

Went for bottomless brunch with some girlfriends absolutely fabulous, food was excellent and plenty of it, great service very friendly, Prosecco bottles on the table when you’ve finished turn the bottle upside down and the staff replaced it very fast service best brunch I’ve had will definitely return

Halloumi lovers unite! The place to be for an amazing brunch next to the station!

We just popped in while waiting for the train at Bath Station half expecting to end up in a tourist trap but we were very pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious (probably the best brunch we had in Bath) and staff were very friendly. We were just two people but they let us sit at a six person table so we had space for all our luggage and the wheelchair even though the restaurant was very busy.

This place is conveniently located opposite the station on the corner. The pancakes were amazing and they were potentially the thickest pancakes I’ve ever had. The lotus biscoff pancakes had a lot of sauce and the pancakes came out warm which made them taste even better. Loved them and if I were to stop off in Bath, I’d be sure to visit again.

It was a very good breakfast in Bath. Very nice and friendly service and wonderfully good breakfast! We had a lovely time here.

This place is very conveniently located. The pastries were fresh and delicious. We enjoyed the full English breakfast. The service was good and it was a pleasant experience.

Great food and beverages served by super friendly team - much loved local gem. Highly recommend 🤩

Cafe au lait is a lovely little spot nestled right across Bath Spa train station. A lovely breakfast spot that offers a variety of options to cater to all people. The cafe is very homey and cute offering a lot of tables for the size. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, explaining and helping us with our order. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. Not only that but it was great value for money. I often hear that they serve the best pancakes in bath. I strongly back this and recommend Cafe au Lait for a nice breakfast or a coffee.

Great staff Great food Great drinks 100% recommend

Cafe Au Lait is a fantastic place to eat! The service was excellent, making the entire dining experience pleasant and enjoyable. The location is lovely, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. However, the highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the pancakes. The chef at Cafe Au Lait makes the best pancakes I have ever had! If you are a fan of pancakes, this is the place to go. They are absolutely worth every penny. Chef, take a bow! Your pancakes are simply divine!

This is the best Cafe in the city by a mile. The staff are fantastic and friendly, the food is great and the coffee is spot on. I recommend it to my friends and all of my clients! I always feel looked after and like nothing is too much bother.

This is THE best breakfast in Bath. The team are friendly and the food is outstanding. Pancakes are world class. Thank you!

Best cafe in Bath. Never disappoints! Come here quite regularly and more recently for bottomless brunch. Was so full afterwards but they were kind enough to box up the pancakes for me to take home. They were the perfect treat when I got home. See you guys soon!

Is this what you serve your customer? A burnt bun?! And the quality is not consistent, the first time I visited everything was good. Second and third time, food and services were awful. No more chance

Lovely breakfast right outside of the main train station. Delicious cappuccino and iced late. Great halloumi and poached eggs meal.

Lovely little place with a great variety of options, also different dietary requirements are catered for. The beans are especially tasty. Coffee was a bit strong and fruity for my liking.

White hot chocolate is good but would stay away from the chai latte. I’m on the hunt for well-tasting chai lattes and I could taste the “fakeness” in this, a bit like the concentrate Starbucks uses. Not made well and would not recommend.

We had breakfast at the cafe today. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was great, really good quality ingredients, well cooked and served quickly. The place was packed so we ate at a table outside,.

Went for the hot chocolate. I suspect it’s the most quality cocoa beans from Ghana that did it. It’s my signature item from here for good reasons.

I planned my sisters hen do in Bath and booked Cafe Au Lait for bottomless brunch. Two people within the party have illnesses which lead to us arriving a little late, they were very accommodating with pushing our booking back by 30mins. The food was amazing and there is so much of it! Again they were accommodating to needing to change the pancakes due to illness. They were attentive with drinks and keeping an eye on our empty Prosecco bottles. Definitely recommend and would return. My only gripe is that our table was next to the door which doesn’t have a slow close which means it slams shut every time someone enters or leaves and it’s a very busy cafe.

I've been there a few times and the food and atmosphere are relatively pleasant. however, every time I have been I have felt very unwelcome. I understand the stress of working somewhere so small and busy, but to be stood waiting to be seated for 15 minutes without any member of staff addressing us, to the point where I didn't even think we were in the right place is quite unsettling. the staff were also quite unpleasant and seemed miserable. working in a small busy place I tough but its not difficult at all to at least try to be pleasant. it is a cute place don't get me wrong, but I don't think it is very fair to make the customer feel unwelcome and somehow make us feel we are doing something wrong.

The atmosphere seemed nice enough, but I was quite disappointed with the coffee. £3.20 for an Americano that was soapy and tasted of hard water.

I’m a real coffee snob unfortunately - and this was one of the best espresso’s I’ve had in a long time 👍🏻

Just what we were looking for. Great home made food. Husband had the full English and I had the veggie option. I love a chai latte, and this one was very good. Not a huge space if you’re inside, but on a nice day, tables and chairs outside on the pavement would be fine. A great find, but I guess it’s always very busy. We visited on the odd chance on a Monday late morning, but even then people were waiting for tables. Great if you’re lucky enough to get in. Perfect breakfast place, will definitely visit again when next in lovely Bath.

Had a great breakfast here. Massive plate of food so great value for money and it was delicious.

Smooth coffee and delicious pastries. Service was kind and efficient.

My fiancée booked bottomless brunch here. Surprised how lovely the food was, and the service was good. We weren't timed and they gave us another beer after our 90mins has elapsed. Great that we could have a break between our brunch dish and pancakes too.The breakfast bap was incredible 👌 lovely sausage and a bloody mary tomato sauce. The pancakes were INCREDIBLE 😍

Great cafe with good gluten free and veggie options. All delicious thank you x

So disappointed, I had eaten less than half of my food and the waitresses decided to take my food away when I was at the toilet. Complete waste of my money as i couldnt eat the food. She said she had asked my friend but my friend works in service industry and said they didn’t even wait for her answer and put the napkin on top of my food and took it away. Really disappointed

Coffee was ok, food arrived barely lukewarm - cold. Raised it with the staff who asked me to explain what I meant and offered to microwave it hot again. Did eventually remake but not a great experience.

Hands down the rudest staff I have ever experienced in my life. They dont take cash either- avoid this horrendous establishment.

staffs are cranky. woke up on the wrong side of the bed

Went for breakfast on a Sunday to prep ourselves for the journey home. Lovely food, generous portions, not too expensive, nice vibe inside and quick service. Would go again!

Fantastic breakfast! And the added bonus that mine was GF! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough

Cute cafe directly opposite the train station. Staff are lovely and welcoming, and the place is dog friendly too. Our coffees were admittedly burnt, but hopefully, it was a one-off as I would still come back here again

Good gluten free options. Only place in bath for gluten free pancakes! Can get quite crowded, impossible to eat at on weekends.

Visited cafe au lait with my 6 good friends for a farewell brunch after a delightful weekend in Bath. After a short wait we were shown to our table. Unfortunately, this is where it all went down hill. We ordered our drinks from a waitress who was rude, rolling her eyes when asked any questions and we felt very rushed to make our order. The food itself was fine. It looked better than it tasted. No one asked how our food was and plates taken from us the second we had put down our cutlery. When clearing the table another waiter gestured rudely to my friend for her to pass her plate which was embarassing. We then went up one by one to pay our bill. As the last person came to pay there was an extra veggie breakfast and a vanilla latte outstanding. We double checked that everyone in our party had paid. No one had even ordered a vanilla latte. The waitress became very snappy and argumentative with us saying we just had to pay it and there’s a vanilla latte on the bill therefore we must have ordered one. Her attitude was horrible and we explained that we had not ordered a latte and she had just taken 6 payments one by one and we would not be paying for an extra breakfast. She then rolled her eyes again, and said I’ll void it then and stormed off in anger. Overall, a sad end to our trip. Will not be back and will not be recommending this place. Clearly a victim of instagrammable inedible food. Staff could clearly do with some lessons on good manors and how to count.

Great coffee, tasty sandwiches, nice place to stop and reset.

A regular spot of mine throughout university and simply one of the best brunch spots in Bath (and probably the country!). The staff are friendly, the coffee is fantastic, food is always top notch (especially the pancakes) and I will continue to go there whenever I'm in Bath!

Wonderful cafe, with a warm welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. We went to celebrate a 40th birthday with their bottomless brunch, the food and booze was extremely generous and made for an amazing celebration. Would recommend to anyone

I visited as I was in Bath for a couple of days and after seeing good reviews for this place on online I thought I’d give it a go. I ordered the avocado and asked if the salsa had coriander and explained that I’m one of those people where it tastes like soap. The waitress said yes but that they could do fresh tomatoes instead which was great. When my food arrived it turns out the avocado had coriander in it too. I had no check back, so when my plate got cleared (after about 15 minutes of me finishing) I asked a different waitress if there was coriander in it and she said yes, so I explained about the tomatoes and all I got was a sorry. Same thing happened with the bill, all I got was a sorry and didn’t get offered any discount (not even a coffee of the bill) even though half the dish was inedible to me. I work in hospitality and I know mistakes happen but it’s how you fix them that matters and nothing was put right about this one.

Read the reviews and thought we’d give the place a try. Was a great choice. Wonderful coffee and food - all day breakfasts and smashed avocado on toast. All excellent, along with superb service. We’ll be back. Thank you.

I love this café, the food is always top notch and the drinks are interesting and delicious. Brilliant for vegetarians and meat eaters alike and bright inside with lots of sun through the windows.

Nice place. Good relaxed atmosphere

They allow dogs which is fantastic! Great breakfast, excellent service. Second time here. We really enjoyed our breakfast. Thank you.

Probably the best coffee I have ever had. Bought a kilo for home

Absolutely amazing, great service. The food was delicious I had the best eggs benedict and my husband has a full English, he loved the baked beans with a curry twist. Great coffee.

wow, finally found a place in Bath that doesn't add covert fees to the bill. thank you!

Iced Chai. Not too sweet and quite refreshing.

Felt like we waited a long time for our order to be taken and waited a while for the breakfasts, which some of the items were hot, some were tepid. Not a bad breakfast, not a great breakfast

Came across when having a wander round, very nice indoor and outdoor seating nice atmosphere the staff were attentive. Really enjoyed the food one fry up and the halloumi breakfast very good!

The pancakes are 10/10, especially the Biscoff one. Might have to wait a few minutes to get a table but definitely worth it! Lovely small place.

We found this spot in the last morning of our holiday to Bath and it is what we had been looking for. Great choice, option of porridge and granola and reasonably priced. The plates are tastefully presented and the staff friendly and helpful. Give it a try.

A lovely quality local independent coffee shop. This establishment has loads of charictal and decor. All staff are very helpful and friendly. Located in Hart of Bath and opposite the train statipn

We had breakfast here during a two night stay in Bath. We sat outside as weather was brilliant. You have to go in to pick up menus then order at counter if you sit outside so be aware of that. My husband has a cooked vegan breakfast and coffee and both were great. He said after his first sip it was great coffee and he hardly ever does that so it must've been good! I had an iced soya latte and the granola (dairy free yoghurt with it). The granola was perfection. It was presented beautifully and was heavenly to eat. I absolutely recommend you try it if you're a cereal type person in the morning. I can't say enough good things about it. We also came back for a drink on the morning of our departure while waiting for a train. Again we sat outside. Can't comment on how things are inside but it looked nice when we went in to order. Service was fine once we realised you go inside to order (and collect menus).

We visited on a recommendation for the bottomless brunch and we we not disppointed. The atmosphere is the cafe was both vibrant and busy and so would recommend booking if possible. Close proximty to the Bath Spa Train station if you travel by train. The food was delicious, homemade and very good value. There was an excellent selection. The Bottomless brunch consisted of a choice from the breakfast menu followed by a choice of their famous pancakes. The breakfast bap was delicious. The Prosseco flowed freely and the staff were very helpful and attentive. We enjoyed it so much we returned for a coffee later in the day.

Ubicado frente a la estación de trenes de Bath, Café au Lait es un excelente lugar para desayunar o hacer brunch. Tienen amplia variedad de opciones veganas muy completas. El ice chai latte con leche de soja y los pancakes con chocolate y banana estaban riquísimos.

Excellent cafe just across the street from the railway station. Outside seating for some but plenty more inside. Had a large family for breakfast time and we all had different choices. Everyone has wonderful food, coffee and tea. The staff were attentive and professional.

Had a full english breakfast here and it was delicious! It was however on the expensive side but for Bath prices, the food tasted amazing. The vegan breakfast was also very very good!

yummy food and big portions however service was really slow, lotus biscoff pancake is amazing

Lovely cafe just opposite the train station. Food was superb. Just really good. Can't praise the place enough. It felt really relaxed. Lots to look at out the windows as well.

Amazing place, great food and drinks. Had the croissant with the smoothie. Delicious! Good place for breakfast. The pancakes are massive! Couldn't finish mine They're more like large doughnuts My plate had a crack in it where the maple syrup was leaking through.

I came to the cafe with my Dad ( apologies for that ) who isn't the easiest of people. It's a great little cafe, sadly the tables are a bit low for me, however I am 6 foot 5. We both had the full English. I was very impressed by it. The Eggs were cooked the exact way I like them, great Butchers sausages, lovely tomatoes, and amazing beans in a BBQ sauce. My one small complaint would be more bacon. My Dad's only complaint was that he prefers a "plain breakfast" and that it was "too tasty" ( see what I mean ). I would prefer it if they didn't put a service charge on the bill, this was removed with no complaints, however i was going to leave a tip anyway, I just prefer to pay what I think the tip should be. The servers were very friendly and helpful. I would go again.

Delicious food, beautiful decor and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Big portions of high quality food - the most delicious bacon I have ever tasted! Will definitely return.

Good food with great gluten free options.

Lovley food if you have half a day to wait for it to arrive. Coffee is also questionable. Staff need manors apart from that the food is really good.

Really loved this cafe: good coffee and vegan breakfast, and good iced tea as well. It's just in front of the station and it is a really nice place to visit. The service was good too!

Nice Cafe opposite the railway station, with plenty of indoor and pavement seating. Can get busy here at times. I was waiting for a train so stopped here for a flat white, and sat out front and watched the world go by. Flat White was nice and had an interesting design, could have been a little warmer tho.

The best english breakfast I ever had. Come early if you didn’t book but a breakfast there simply elevates the whole Bath experience!

3rd time trying to get a coffee this week and staff close the premises before it’s indicated on the door. Disappointed Saturday at 6pm how ever it’s 4pm and I can’t get coffee 😭

Amazing specials. Amazing drinks. Amazing service.

Very popular judging by the queue so wanted to try. Joined the queue however I thought this was a takeaway queue as people were buying food there was a sign opposite asking to ‘wait here to be seated’ so thought I’d go over to the sign and wait. WRONG!!! One of the servers roared that t’heres a queue’. I wasn’t trying to jump I just though that to be seated we were to wait by the wait here to be seated sign. We left after being shamed by something we weren’t doing

Joli coffee shop face à la gare. Sucré ou salé, Vegan, végétarien… il y en a pour tous les goûts.

Un coin sympa pour un breakfast à l'intérieur la terrasse est un peu bruyante avec la gare de bus juste à côté 😂 Les œufs pochés sont parfait et le service agréable . Je recommande vivement

Excellent food and service - great menu! Good location right next to the railway station- but the food has nothing to do with traditional railway caf cuisine!!

Excellent smooth coffee served at the perfect temperature in a very pleasantly laid out shop. Would recommend.

Walked past this on my first visit to Bath, but decided to get breakfast the next day. Great food, great staff and amazing coffee!

This place has such an amazing variety of food for all dietary requirements. Love that they are able to make dishes to my needs, if requested. Seating inside is quite crowded close together and service takes a while, but definitely worth it! The servers are nice and the food is just divine every time I visit!

Considering it's the cafe next to the train station there is no sense of urgency for takeaway - service is very slow, staff make mistakes and chat constantly - all with unfriendly faces. They usually do a very good hot chocolate, but they've changed their recipe to a syrup which resulted in such a disgusting drink I had to chuck it away. I wasn't sure if it was gluten friendly either. Such a shame as this place used to be really good but I won't be going again. I'm sure their breakfasts are nice but for takeaway it's disappointing.

Ignore the moaning minges complaining about the service. This is a really nice place to visit.

Duur, maar dat is geloof ik overal zo. Wel erg lekker, de chai is zeker aan te raden!

Well worth a visit. Recommend the vegetarian breakfast, this was particularly good. Homemade beans brilliant. The sourdough sandwich was excellent. Also tried the pancakes, I wouldn’t recommend these as they were overbooked. Stick to the breakfast menu. Nice coffee

Visited for a friends’ birthday bottomless brunch and was so impressed! 2 courses of food (massive portions too!) and continuous bubbles for £35pp. Honestly such good value as the food was excellent (especially the pancakes!) and the service was fab.
