The Bridge Coffee Shop in Bath and North East Somerset

Lovely sunny spot to have a coffee and croissant

Great service and very friendly

The scones were amazing!! If you have a chance to visit Bath, this place is worth to check out!!!

Great dining experience, great food, friendly staff, and we walked away with some extra treats since they were closing for the day! I felt like a local, would go every day if I could!

Great view, shame about the service

Luckily we got the best seat and had a wonderful view of the river! Yummy fresh cakes and desserts with coffee! The prices are also reasonable.

Excellent carrot cake and Victoria sponge with an incredible view from pulteney Bridge.

Very rude & ill-mannered staff. I'm referring to a mid-aged chap who's most likely the owner. The food also looked beyond basic. Best go to an actual cafe or a brunch place in town (there are plenty of great options to choose from).

Ordered the buttermilk pancakes (7.50 for a stack of 4, best pancakes I have tasted). Quite a small seating area, I did have to wait a couple of minutes for a seat to free, was worth the wait.

We came here on the boxing day. The place is very beautiful and the cakes are delicious. Busy place, and limited space so expect it before coming here.

Beautiful pancakes. Cost £7.50. Very filling and great value for money. Nice, cosy atmosphere with a great view of the river.

Christmas eve but no Christmas spirit here. The first thing server said was 'we close in 30 minutes.' She proceeded to be quite inpatient and unfriendly and kept repeating herself - is that all. She then delivered half our order which was only 2 coffees, 1 tea (weirdly salty), and cake. Then she started offering free food to a man, packing it all up for him and telling him it all had to go. When I asked about my tea and cake she said I've only got one pair of hands! Having paid £17 for this i am disappointed to say the least.

Great Belgian hot chocolate. Lovely staff

Nice place, I had a smoothie and the wife had a latte. Nice views of the river and friendly staff.

Servicio amable, amable y el mejor café en Bath! Nos encanta aquí no solo por el café, pero los deliciosos pasteles y rodajas son excelentes también! Toma un pan tostado en la carrera o come. ¡No te decepcionarás! ¡Devolvemos cada visita!

OMG, treats were so delicious!!! I wish I could go back and get more ;)

Excelente café y pasteles servidos por una mujer amable e increíblemente trabajadora que estaba sirviendo, despejando, cocinando arriba y siendo alegre. Las mejores notas para mi tarta de queso vasca y blanco plano Hermosa vista, espero volver pronto.

Personal muy aburrido, justo y poco emprendedor. Comida en el camino de pan aburrido ofrecido y condimentos indiferentes. ¿Comerciar con vistas al vertedero?

Best coffee shop service I’ve had in Bath! Lovely view, delicious coffee, and such kind staff.

First of all, the food here was incredible! We had a fantastic cream tea with tasty homemade scones, and also a slice of banoffee cake to share between the two of us which we loved. We were sat by the window and the view was gorgeous over the river as we watched it get dark... The service was also amazing, the lady serving and at the counter was incredibly sweet and friendly, treating every customer coming in with love :) Would highly recommend!

Cozy coffee shop Variety of pastries and cakes Sandwiches,Breakfast etc

Small but welcoming coffee shop Good quality food and reasonably priced Becky is a delight and nothing was to much trouble she gives the place a really chilled vibe. Bath buns and hot chocolate are amazing by the way. Definitely be back next time we’re in Bath.

We will definitely visit here again next time we visit Bath. The cakes are incredible, just scrummy. We bought a takeaway tea each and the rhubarb and cherry cake and apple and almond cake. Tiny place with lovely views of the weir. If it's busy just get a takeaway and find a nice spot to sit by the river.....worth it! The two ladies that served us yesterday were super, thank you ❤️

Lovely spot for some lunch and a coffee and the cake choices were pretty good too!

Do not recommend. Staff don't know their own products they sell and touch what doesn't belong to them. Avoid this place.

Lovely little cafe with amazing views! Very friendly staff. Even gave us a little gift leaving. Highly recommend:)

Este café acogedor, acogedor y amable. Se detuvo antes de caminar por la ciudad. ¡El café, pastie (+ otro)! Junto con un desayuno inglés completo caliente - simplemente encantador. La parte trasera de la cafetería tiene una hermosa vista del río y puentear un ambiente realmente frío. ¡El pastel de frambuesa y chocolate blanco es exuberante! Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Cute , cozy cafe with great views! Great food , amazing service

Shop didn't open until an hour after their posted hours, running our breakfast experience.

I stopped by between appointments and while the staff was busy with lunch customers I was able to get a coffee and baked good quickly. They were super friendly and had a large selection of delicious looking treats in the window.

We called in late afternoon a couple of weeks ago on our way back to our car, intending to grab a drink and maybe a cake each to take back to our accommodation. The young lady who served us was lovely and it was a nice end to our day to be served by, and enjoy a chat, with someone so friendly and patient with our indecision despite probably just wanting to finish up!. We made our purchases and were sent off with a baguette each which was such a nice gesture. The cakes we bought, and the baguettes we enjoyed for our dinner, were delicious and I highly recommend this cafe which also has a view to die for if you are lucky enough to nab a table to dine in. Not sure if the young lady who served two chatty Australian women one afternoon two weeks ago with such kindness (and a baguette each) will even remember us, but you made our day, the food was delicious and we'd encourage anyone in the area to stop by the Pulteney Bridge Coffee Shop :)

Perfect small but excellent in every way. Couldn't fault it and would heartily recommend pity it's not nearer home although probably fortunate. Thank you

Hands down the best Victoria Sponge i’ve ever had, with a clotted cream filling, truly unique. The view is also breathtaking. Just an all round amazing experience.

staff, I think the manager with glasses, was rude upon arrival and service took ages. manager refused the couple next to us ice for their drinks and said it was cold enough. toastie was fine but my friends pasta had 2 black hairs in it and also a curly piece of metal... don't go here

Terrible food, had hair and metal in it. Did refund the meal however. Asked for a coke with ice and the waiter on said "it's cold enough you don't need ice" wow

Exceedingly rude wait staff, best avoided

Lovely cafe with a gorgeous view out over the weir. We walked past a couple of times waiting for one of the window seats to be free which was well worth the wait! The cakes were delicious - particularly the ones with fruit in. The staff were also very welcoming - will be visiting again for sure!

We were fortunate to find this lovely watering hole.in the busyness and rush of of the city. We had struggled to find any place dog-friendl and indoors on a rainy afternoon in Bath and were so blessed by the welcome we recieved. The incredible view over the wear added to the excellent service and quality fair. I can recommend the vanilla bean frame, the cinnemon bun and the incredibly fresh baguettes. A nice house blend of coffee rounds off the perfect lunchtime visit. An absolute gem.

Went twice during our visit, both times it was amazing service! Breakfast was great, for a late lunch the baguettes were a nice choice. It’s a small spot with only one or two employees so waiting for a spot will take some time but takeaway is a nice, you can stand by the bridge and have your coffee.

Great location for a coffee. View was perfect over the water

Small café with delicious coffee specialties and homemade cakes. 1 piece cost £3.45. Great location, but the unmotivated service didn't think it was important to wipe the dirty tables. The floor looked bad and you lost your appetite. The café is really small, so you can sweep up the dirt!

Sausage roll was great, not a very big restaurant but quite nice.

General – I’m reviewing this lovely Café under two different locations on Trip Advisor as there appears to be confusion over the name and location. This is the Café at the end of Pulteney Bridge simply called PULTENEY BRIDGE COFFEE. It’s a small Café thatthat would struggle to seat more than about 15 people at a time. The staff – very friendly and attentive. Provided a good service. The food – was excellent. Had the Full English Breakfast 2 days running. Top quality, reasonable price and very tasty. All the food they sell looks really good. The atmosphere – busy, popular and nice friendly atmosphere. Quite a small Café with people coming and going all the time to take away. Can get crowded. Value for money – certainly good value. Two breakfasts and coffees under £30. Visit again - definitely.

Quality coffee and service with a smile! I will be back next time I'm in Bath.

Had caramel latte and it was soo good!! Would highly recommend trying them.

Calm and yet centrally located in beautiful Bath at one end of famous Pulteney street, we enjoyed much the pancakes and the vegetarian breakfast, as well as cappuccino and a strawberry banana smoothie, which we got for a fair price. Can recommend!

Great location with views of the water. Very good lattes and baked goods. We enjoyed the lemon pistachio blonde.

If ypu like home brand processed food, this is your place. The people working there will argue with you about your order. They have very limited drinks. And whe your food, wrong order arrives, it's like something your teenager would cook when learning. The bathroom is a whole other story of unacceptable.

The most fabulous tasting Bath buns. Different to any other buns I've tasted. Will go back for more before the week is out and may be this time they last long enough to take a photo. You must try one. You won't be disappointed. We had ones with cherries and sultanas.

This coffee shop should not be located here in the size of a postage stamp .. absolutely no charm, atmosphere, or room to actually eat anything .. people stepping over and on each other .. we ordered 2 iced lattes and she had to go upstairs to make them ..??? .. and she did not actually listen to us when ordering because I got the wrong order .. after I left the shop I threw it out as it tasted terrible .. .. we threw out the pastries too as they tasted bad .. manager/worker has a younger assistant but she also was so overwhelmed she had to go and sit down to rest .. leaving the manager to check in 5 people at once .. took us 20 min to get 2 lattes ... go too a place where you will be respected and where the coffee and food tastes better

Fantastic Afternoon Tea with a view you can't beat!!!

GET THE AFTERNOON CREAM TEA!!! the scones were amazing, and so was the jam & clotted cream. A single portion is very generous!! super cute view from the bridge too

Compact but such a good spot for tea and a view of the bridge:)

What we ordered: - lemon drizzle cake - queen vic - scones Lemon drizzle cake was so moist and buttery. The lemon was not overpowering and provided the right amount of tanginess. Overall 10/10 for this. Scones was a lil dry. Would skip it. Queen Vic was alright but the best was still the lemon drizzle cake. Takeout price is cheaper than eat in. If you don’t mind eating on the go, just go for take out (:

It was very busy , one person serving. Too much asked of the server.

The worst ‘cake’ I’ve ever had, it was so dry that it wasn’t edible, avoid the rock buns.

Beautiful little cafe and lovely people😊

Great coffee and cake. Friendly service. Lovely views.

The place is beautiful and the hosts are very nice

The lady who works here is so sweet, service was fast and it’s the cutest cafe on the bridge. Good options for real food and sweets as well as drinks!

Beautiful cafe overlooking the river. Small and quaint with fab cakes and coffees. Unfortunately served by a terribly rude female member of staff this afternoon. Shouted at everyone that they were closing in 15 mins but still served tea etc. Tried to help out by clearing the tables and she snapped the dishes from me. Having sat down for approximately 8 mins we were roared at to leave even though they were still serving takeouts. Quite confrontational and cheeky as we left, No need for this behaviour or treatment of customers. It’s a shame as it’s a really lovely cafe.

I tried cream tea and it was delicious :) The scones are soft and the clotted cream is delicious. Haha, there are only about 5 tables inside, so it's a bit difficult to get a seat if you go during busy times. ㅜㅜ

Really need to try the Glaze Lemon Pound Cake ! It’s very amazing 🤩! And the Chocolate Brownie ice cream is good 😳 You can see the beautiful scenery from the shop window.

Nice coffee shop however nothing gluten free. Such a shame when they stock 12 cakes!! So easy to resolve. Pultney bridge coffee shop - please resolve this point.

Lovely little cafe. Only a few tables downstairs, but they do takeaway as well. One of the best coffees I've had in Bath, the breakfast was delicious and the cakes definitely worth breaking your diet for. The staff are also really friendly. I would definitely come back if I visit Bath again.

Had a lovely cream tea in here with a view! Plenty of tea and a good dollop of clotted cream with the warm scone. Staff friendly and efficient and not overpriced for Bath. Would go again.

What a great place to stop for coffee and snacks! Even if you don't sit by the window, you have to take a look outside at the great view of the Pulteney Weir and River Avon. There was a good selection of cakes to choose from, and the hot drinks were good. A friendly staff made the short break even more pleasant.

Today, I had the chance to sit inside this lovely cafe. Beautiful in everything. Very elegant environment.. lucky to visit and had my coffee late and cinnamon muffin there ..❤️

Great scones, friendly staff, nice view if lucky enough to get one of two tables by windows on to the weir. Nearest public loo is Waitrose - this place is too small to cater. Overall, lovely spot.

I popped in for a sandwich earlier and frankly felt most unwelcome. The young girl behind clearly would rather be anywhere, but delivering a service to paying customers. No hello, no "please", no "thank you", and almost no eye contact. I appreciate we all have 'off days' but this was just rude. Had I not had been hungry and in somewhat of a hurry, I'd have probably cancelled my order and gone elsewhere.

This is a nice little cafe with an awesome view. We had some scones with a pot of tea, no complaints about the food & drink but it felt a bit cramped inside. It’s worth a visit once for the view but I’m not sure we’d go back again.

The view is amazing, we had a nice tea and scones ♥️

Very good food, sweet place with nice view, but a bit too tiny, we had to move our table to be able to go out, still very nice place, definitely will come back

We visited this Cafe on Saturday afternoon, there were a number of empty tables, but they hadn’t been cleared, Customers had just put dirty dishes on the shelf by the window. We ordered Teas and a couple of coffees along with some cakes. the Tea arrived and the cakes and the forks were dirty.We asked if we could change the Forks and the waitress took them away only to return 5 mins later and pronounced that she had polished the forks just for us, totally unnecessary comment. The Coffee took another 15mins by which time we had already finished our cakes. Maybe if this lady had spent less time going out side for a cheeky vape then she could have checked her dishwasher for clean forks, or gave us our coffees in a timely fashion. There was no need for her attitude, at no point did we complain about the doors beening wedged open which made the place freezing , or the fact there there were so many cups and plates lying about.

Tiny cafe, service can be slow sometimes but the coffee is good and the views are unquestionably worth it.

Bought some delicious cakes from here on a weekend away - would recommend the carrot cake and chocolate chip shortbread!

This coffee shop is a lovely little spot but there’s only about 2 spots where you can see the view from. If you can get one of those spots it’s worth… it if you can’t then don’t settle for any of the other tables. Food is pretty average and service is a bit flat but if you get one of those 2 spots then it’s worth it.

A very pretty little cafe on the bridge with stunning views. I always try to get a table by the windows every time I visit Bath (there are only two of them that look out the river). Managed to have a lovely breakfast with my family and couldn’t have wished for a better time. Everything was delicious, lovely friendly staff.

Great spot for a quick coffee and a snack while enjoying the view through the windows. Coffee was nice. We received polite quick service.

Excellent coffee / lunch stop overlooking pulteney Weir. Great coffee ☕️. Service was superb 😀

Wonderful view from this tiny cafe located on the bridge. Unfortunately, the decaf coffee I ordered tasted really bad, might have been burnt . The view was good though .

Small shop with a beautiful view of the river.

Like a scene from mean girls behind the counter. No please/thank you or offer to explain a cream tea, number of scones, pice etc. Randomly giggling at me from the two staff behind the counter when asking them questions about the food/price etc and just generally rude service. Food was fine

Tourist trap. Staff had a very bad attitude. Badly made coffee. Poor quality, leaky takeaway cups. I got over charged and didn't realize until after i'd left. Haven't been this disappointed with a takeaway coffee for a long time.

Endroit plein de charme sur le pont. Le chocolat chaud et le carrot cake sont à tomber . La vue sympa depuis le pont Je recommandé impérativement

Really, nice coffee place, and the cakes are really nice too. Super nice location. I don't think it's overpriced ☺️ highly recommended!

The tea and cakes were delicious but the waitress was inattentive, dismissive, unhelpful and rude when asked for directions

Sitting by the window with a nice view overlooking the riverside I ate a hot chocolate scone like this.

Nice little cafe on the bridge. Staff are so kind and the scones and cream are so tasty. We enjoyed wonderful cream tea set and beautiful river view there.

Yes small but Helpful friendly staff and reasonably good food and at reasonable prices. Been here in the past so returned. And lovely spot on the bridge.

Really delicious cakes, pasties and coffee amazing view and lovely service. Really enjoyed our visit!

Had a lovely cream tea impressed by the staff

Really delicious selection of cakes, cream teas available along with lots of other drinks. The cafe is small but it makes it cosy, the views from the cafe window are very beautiful and the staff were friendly

The Lemon Drizzle is delicious, the service quick! It’s a wonderful little nook on the bridge - we also got a table by the window and had a wonderful time absorbing the view in with some tea, coffee, pastries! Highly recommend a stop- they also have a loyalty plan for the locals !

The place closes at 17:30 - rejected to turn back on the fresh orange juice machine at 16:37, very poor service. No alternatives offered too. Very unwelcome environment.

Myself and partner stumbled across the Pulteney during a little walk on a few days away stay. The views were lovely over looking the river, this was the only reason we wanted to go in the first place. Inside it is very small and can only seat around 10 / 15 people and not all seats have a view of the river. The lady working was very polite to everyone that came in and did a very good job of upselling to people, she was with out question the best part of the cafe. We both had food that the cafe I asked for a large full english breakfast and pancakes. Pancakes were lovely and fluffy. They had a lovely texture to them and melted in your mouth, they came with butter and syrup we also got a banana as an upsell. The full English was a little bit of a let down, a large one s asked for was small and the toast was burnt. I feel that with regards to bacon and sausage it felt & tased cheap. I did eat it all and it did fill a gap but I was let down by this - If a meal check was undertaken I would have said something to gain a better understanding of the size. The coffee was good along with the tea. If you are looking for a quick drink on the go this is your place. The cakes and bits and bobs looked lovely and I will possibly get a cake before we leave later in the week. We spent around £25 for two meals and a drinks with the view I can't say it was expensive at all.

Had a great baguette and a scone!

Perfect full English breakfast - much better here than at the corporate chain hotel we stayed at. Beautiful views down the river too.

Best cappachino I have ever had! Victoria sponge was amazing too. Lovely service friendly and smiley. Thank you.
