the chelsea cafe in Bath and North East Somerset

Lukewarm coffee and rather weak Asked for the haslet to be served separately request ignored Sent it back as it was for a vegetarian which we had told them They simply took it out and gave it back to us The cheese had melted on the haslet so now he had only egg in roll Would never come back here Also very cold cafe We had to keep our coats on Avoid this place

The Chelsea Cafe sums up mediocre, I have been back since my last review as I wanted to give it another go. Everything struggles to exceed average, the food is ok, the staff seem like they don't want to be there and the coffee is burnt.

Having a disability and not being able to wear a mask is not fun. I was sad this morning when I was told to wait outside, the Equality and Discrimination Act 2010 protect people from being discriminated against. I know that you are under a tough situation but Section 13 makes it an offence to force someone to justify their disability and section 25 makes it an offence is exclude service. Punishment is up to £9000 per case

This Cafe needs to be much more transparent when it comes to the Eat out to Help Out Scheme. I found out the hard way. Not a massive coffee bill but double what I had budgeted for. I had no idea that it wasn't embracing the Scheme fully...only food. I don't follow Instagram and no staff member explained that only food would get 50% off. No transparency there in my opinion. You find out when you pay! I support local businesses when I can and this Scheme has been great for me to do my bit. I now have a dispute with this Cafe about my hurtful use of the word "overcharge". If I'd known the facts I would have voted with my feet and my £14 would have gone to another local business. Yes Businesses need support but so do people at a time of financial hardship. It's a 2 way thing. Yes you have offered the refund but made me feel like I'm in the wrong. My only mistake was assuming that you were offering the Scheme in the spirit it was offered in all the other local Cafes. People are happy to do their bit but they don't like to feel duped.

The cafe is coming back to a fuller menu again. More hot food and ,as ever, excellent coffee. Social distancing and hygiene are well in hand and good table cleaning between customers. Card only so if you want to tip ask the waiter/waitress before they tot up and they can add it

A very disappointing experience. Underwhelmed by the food and the decor is in need of some serious TLC. The Westcombe Rarebit Toastie (£5.50 each) was very disappointing. Over cooked Toast but the filling was less Cheese and more Mustard. Brown mush. The Coffee looked nice but tasted like it was made using Camp Coffee out of a bottle.( £2.60 each) . Sorry Guys this was sadly a very disappointing first trip out after lock down and we wont be coming back again until the menu and the decor is improved. By the way, if you are sharing a pen with customers it shouldn't it be cleaned each time?

The cafe is still take away only. Great coffees (try the iced) , Bacon brioche to die for and a gradually expanding menu. Plus free range eggs , artisan ice cream etc.

8e Chelsea Road is a nice little cafe that produces exceptional coffee. We are fussy about coffee, being Australians, and the coffee here is certainly worth praising. Well done guys. Keep it up.

Me and my family went here for brunch on a Sunday while visiting Bath. We had been there for the Bath v. Ulster rugby match the day before and its safe to say we celebrated the win the Irish way. So on Sunday, with the mother of all hangovers, we went to seek refuge at 8e Chelsea Road. While the menu is small, I fancied the Welsh rarebit as it seemed like it might cure me - and good God, it was heavenly. I was lost and then the Welsh rarebit found me. I didn't know I was a fan of pickles either-but apparently I am when its beside a gorgeous Welsh rarebit. With a cup of coffee, it was honestly one of the best things I've had in a long time. Now while this WAS my very first Welsh rarebit, you may question my expertise and fair play - how would I know its good if its the only one I've had? And I was hungover, so of course it tasted good, right? But all I can say is that it was the closest thing to a spiritual experience I've ever had - appropriate for a Sunday! The rest of the fam had something else and everyone was really jealous of my rarebit and wished they ordered it too. The service was okay but to be honest I was too distracted by the food to notice.

Love this place, whenever I can I visit them, the staff are friendly and the food is great! The chef is very dedicated and presents quality food.

This neighbourhood cafe lost its way for a while but with a new chef and menu the food is fabulous and just that bit different - which appeals to me. We sampled two items for breakfast so far and they were both delicious. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. We hope when local folk discover how lovely the food is again it will become our popular local cafe once again. Oh and the staff is lovely and take care great care over making coffee.

I ordered my food too get nothing but rudeness, I didn’t enjoy the breakfast atall, and too top it off I had seen a rat running from the counter straight out too the back of the business this is not the first time,

Been here recently and had lovely fresh orange juice, hot chocolate and chocolate brownies. All good. It's a shame that they don't do any proper food like they use to as the menu is now very limited.

The Chelsea Cafe ( now rebranded 8e) was previously a favourite place for breakfast or lunch. In our opinion it lost its way when a year or so ago it stopped doing food. The owners have now taken a new tack and hired a new chef. It’s not a large menu but sufficient As for the new chef - He or she is great. The Onglet was rare and very tasty; my partner raved about the Hake with braised fennel. Accompanied by local real ales on tap, this is now a fab place again. Definitely recommended.

Great coffee but bacon sandwiches were very disappointing. One small rasher in one half of substantial slices of thick bread. Other half was a bit better with two small rashers. Breakfast used to be much better than this here so we are looking forward to there being a new chef.

The Chelsea Road cafe is a well established Bath landmark with a regular clientele including a Saturday morning cycle crowd who bring a delightful atmosphere as well as really tucking in ! Coffee is superb (do try the iced coffee on hot days) with plenty of locally made cakes,brownies and the like. There is a short menu with particularly good sandwiches. Recently the owner has started to run one off live music events and is about to up the food game with a new serious chef in August.Watch this space

A delightful experience. Polite and swift service. Good coffee. Tasty toasted sandwich. Pleasant environment. Would recommend and come back.

I really like this place. Lovely local atmosphere and unpretentious. Could do with a bit of a sprucing up but the food and coffee is always good. It is a huge asset to the area.

Con un ambiente relajado y el personal más amable, el Chelsea Cafe a menudo me ha ofrecido un delicioso café y un lugar cómodo para pasar la tarde.

He visitado este café en varias ocasiones. En cada ocasión, he encontrado que el servicio es aceptable.

El Chelsea Road Café es una institución local. Un poco usado en el departamento de d cor pero excelente café, pasteles y sándwiches. Para los asquerosos, prueba la barra de tiffin de caramelo salado (alrededor de 2,00)

visitado recientemente - sin atmósfera y básicamente vacío. la oferta de comida es TAN pobre, si vas a hacer pasteles, por lo menos los haces buenos y la oferta de sándwich es terrible.

Habiendo visitado regularmente el Chelsea Road Caf, y considerándolo un poco como un regalo, me decepcionó mucho visitar hoy para descubrir que ha cambiado de dueño. Los alimentos que todos hemos llegado a amar ya no existen y han sido reemplazados por lo que los nuevos propietarios consideran como "opciones saludables".

Hemos sido usuarios habituales del Chelsea Cafe en los últimos años. Ya no estará en nuestra lista recomendada. En primer lugar, el café ha sido renovado, y las opiniones se mezclan sobre si es tan atractivo y agradable como solía ser. En segundo lugar, la cocina ha sido cerrada, por lo que no hay comida recién preparada. Atrás quedaron esos fabulosos desayunos. Lo peor de todo es que los sándwiches preparados previamente estaban obsoletos por haberse sentado en un estante. No voy a comprar uno de esos otra vez. Entonces, si lo único que quieres es una taza de café o té, el café está bien. Para cualquier cosa más ve a otro lado.

I was surprised and shocked to see Chelsea Road, it seems to have lost a lot of shops, with several empty premises, and a number of “office type” shops (bike courier firm, kitchen designers etc). It almost seems to be in terminal decline, hopefully I'm wrong.

Sad to report Chelsea Cafe has lost its' welcoming atmosphere, most of the breakfast menu, but coffee is still good. All the pictures on the walls have gone, fes pretty bare bones now. Don't understand the rationale for changing. It was great but myself and cycling friends now searching for alternative Bath stop... luckily for us there's plenty to choose from.

Working in the area so popped in for breakfast at the cafe and waited for 10 mins or more before being told to order at the bar. Ordered 2 breakfast ciabatta and they took more than 20 mins and place was empty. Tasty food but not worth the wait.

Great to find a loca place open on a Sunday. Eggs Royale and poached eggs with bacon on sourdough hit the spo. You must try the freshly squeezed orange juice. Regular haunt of road cyclists who recharge here.

Very little here if you're veggie. As a pescatarian, I opted for the fish finger sandwich on the specials board. Except they'd run out. Might have gone for the parsnip soup. Except they'd run out. Only 2pm. Left with an empty stomach.

They could do better! more friendly staff, better coffee etc its not difficult theses days! Just up the anti a bit and it would be great!

I’ve come here a few times for breakfast with my parents and brought my boyfriend on his birthday. I really like the atmosphere in their, it is rather unique. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is also very nice. Would much prefer going to a authentic place like this with a great coffee and breakfast to a chain place. Would highly recommend if your passing by!

We were walking past in the early morning and popped in for a coffee. Excellent hot fresh coffee. Out of the group of 4 two also had a bacon butty once again hot fresh and excellent. We were nay in bath for two day Andy ventured back just before leaving. This time a full English, eggs Benedict and bacon butties, again with an excellent coffee. Shame we were only there for two days.

I visited the cafe yesterday with a friend and we both left quite disappointed. The cafe itself is lovely with...

We called at the cafe as we were on our way to visiting friends who live locally. The staff were...

Sehr gutes englisches Café. Unbedingt zu empfehlen ist das "Fuller English Breakfast" da das normale dann doch etwas zu klein...

Firstly it's nice to find somewhere that does breakfast until 2.30! Really nice breakfast that was well cooked, good ingredients...

El café es una joya local con un montón de comercio local además de una pandilla de ciclistas los sábados. El café es excelente y barato para el cuarto de baño. Menú pequeño pero bien elegido y decente vino con su comida, hay aparcamiento gratuito...

The corned beef hash was tasty and well seasoned; the coffee was hot and they use a rich blend.The downside? The toilet. Whilst the toilet itself was clean, the sink, the mirror and the wall below the hand drier clearly hadn't been touched for a while.I looked for the hygiene rating - but couldn't see it (checked the council website, they got a 4/5 in Jan 2015). Hope the kitchen is cleaner than the bathroom!

Friendy community cafe with great coffee, cheap eats and tables in the sun... when there is sun. Always a smile when served.

Very relaxed here. Local cafe, friendly, easy way to spend time while waiting for a meeting. Coffee good, granola absolutely delicious. Only criticism is that I always think it's a bit pricy. Nice for a treat though

We popped in purely as it was nearby and had good reviews. We weren't disappointed. A lovely and varied brunch menu. All tasty and served in good time. We'll definitely return! It will be nicer when the toilets have been revamped.

Looking for somewhere local to eat a late lunch, near my hotel, I tried the Chelsea Cafe. I was there just minutes before 3, when they stop serving the lunch menu, but staff very kindly served me apple and parsnip soup with gluten free bread. The homemade soup was absolutely delicious. Newspapers were available, and free wifi. The atmosphere was congenial and informal wihich can help you relax in a busy cafe when eating alone. Top marks.

I had a lovely homemade soup and chunky bread - very delicious.It is always very busy here but not too many tables.Can be a bit pricey- but we are in Bath

We live literally round the corner from this lovely local cafe. The interior is sparse with old wooden tables but in a trendy way and it's always full of locals and cyclists from the local club drinking coffee and eating cooked breakfasts. The breakfasts are delicious. Nothing fancy, a standard choice of bacon, sausage, eggs etc but never greasy and always well cooked. The other highlight is the pork and crackling rolls! Worth checking out if you are local x

Fantastic food, attentive and welcoming staff, and a really nice place to chill out. I've never been disappointed here, so I return a lot.

I visit the Chelsea cafe a few times a month, it's a firm favourite of mine. I would certainly recommend the breakfast here, a lovely walk for me along river in Bath to the cafe. The staff a very friendly and maintain a great atmosphere.

A simple but effective offering of good coffee and good food. We like the atmosphere as well. It's a great place even if you are on your own with a laptop or a book. If it's sunny there are seats outside ... We go regularly for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Parking nearby is sometimes tricky but you can normally find a space in nearby streets.

Stopped here while waiting for the Tour of Britain to come through. Nice coffee and cake outside in the sunshine.Loses a star due to the toilet facilities in need of an upgrade, but otherwise a good experience.

Just had lunch at Chelsea Café, again. Small menu, but more than enough variety for anyone's lunchtime. Great atmosphere, good food and fantastic coffee. All the locals use it to the extent that finding a table on a Saturday can be tricky. Young, old or anything else, they're all here.

Good coffee, cakes and savouries at the top end of Chelsea Road. It has a real neighbourhood buzz about it, boosted by the cycle club on a Saturday morning.I've not tried the cooked food, but it looks good. It's also licenced.

We had a very nice late Sunday morning coffee, hot chocolate , gluten free flapjack, and croissant , nice atmosphere and ambience

Chanced across this place, after taking student son to pick up his keys for next year's digs. Service was good, with laid back welcome and our refreshments were spot on. I had the 'Fuller English breakfast' and he the 'Hog Roast Bun'. Both very tasty. Would definitely go back.

An interesting place for its decor! Lovely coffee and hot snacks as well as friendly owner and staff, well worth a visit.

Stopped off for a drink this morning and was very impressed. I was with two dogs who were made to feel very welcome, and the staff member (who said it was her first day), was lovely and cleaned the table for me straight away. The only negative was the Diet Coke cost £2.50 which is very expensive and didn't even come with a glass.

Very nice food, generous portions and very friendly service. Try their club sandwich or the daily specials. If you're in the Chelsea/Newbridge road area, look no further

Found a table in the sun outside , fast service and friendly staff. Brought our dog a drink with our drinks . Lemon cake was delicious . Tables are a bit Wobbly

This cafe offers a good menu, plenty of people just drinking coffee and chatting or reading the newspaper. A great place to spend time with friends or just on your own.I ordered soup and It was not a disappointment. Beautifully creamy, smooth and tasty. The service was good and I will certainly go back for lunch when I am in the area.

Had ok Sunday morning food. Went back on Tues & rubbish. Porridge obviously leftover from a previous life and microwaved. Hard to think it was the same place.

Nice foodGood coffeeFast serviceReasonable pricesFriendly staffButMUSIC TOO LOUDAnd too random tooLurched from 60s pop to heavy electronicaSeemed like it was just randomly churned out with no selectionButDefinitely too loud

Great café with good food and friendly staff.Great coffee too! Looking forward to returning in the new year.

It was a cold, wet day when I ventured into this cafe for a meeting. The temperature inside was similar to that outside and immediately I felt tense and unwelcomed. I asked the young assistant if it was possible to make the place warmer and I got the sense my request had aggrivated him.Ten minutes later, the nearby radiator was still cold so I tried asking what looked more like the manager. He answered my question with 'I'll try " (to put the heating one). It sounded rude to me.He muttered something about finishing what he was doing first. A simple "of course" would have felt a lot more inclusive and polite. I again felt that my request was not well received. Another 10 mins passed and I noticed the radiator was now on.I took s look at the menu and thought "pretentious and expensive". A "scaled down" English breakfast was almost £7! I chose a mocha which was fixed sullenly by the older staff member. It seemed that my request for a really hot mocha was also insulting even I giggled as I asked...The drink was very average with none of the depth or richness I expect in a mocha. £2.70 for a small mug: one that gets narrower as it goes down.Didn't enjoy this experience at all. Where is the customer service guys? Your customers could be really poorly; recovering from an op or shock or any number of things which may make someone feel more sensitive to the cold. Or was I not elderly enough to make these requests? Show some compassion next time? It's Christmas!

Lovely spot for a Sunday breakfast with really reasonable prices and tasty food. Definitely recommended for a breakfast place

I've been here several times for coffee and brunch and will be returning I suspect many more times. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and consistently good coffee. Thanks Chelsea cafe!

Found this cafe on Trip advisor and was not disappointed. Good fresh local food. Very popular with locals. Had excellent coffee and fabulous jacket potato. Service was quick and was with a smile. If I am in the locality again, I will certainly revisit.

What can I say, but a lovely little café to get coffee and a nibble. Always a lot of buzz around the place with pleasant accommodating staff. I don't understand faceless reviews like Andrew G, I too work in the service industry and if there is an issue with my experience I speak to the manager so they can amend and improve any problems that have arisen. God bless Trip Advisor allowing scared small people express their disgust behind the safety of a silver box with an illuminated screen, I'd like to see Andrew G give a café a bash and we can all visit and rip him to shreds on Trip Advisor.

The owners of this cafe organised a lovely evening meal for me and 20 of my friends. The 2 owners welcomed and served my friends all evening and were charming and professional .Met the chef early on and he was very friendly and on my limited budget he served up a tasty 3 course meal.The prosecco and wine was very nice and chosen by the owner .Its perfect place for a chilled easy going evening which finished up after 11.

This was my second time here and this was just as bad as the first. It simply reinforced my first opinion. I had a meeting here and it was awful for a number of reasons. Arriving early in the morning to the sound of an elderly gentleman behind the counter talking, or should I say shouting, about cricket. What was worse was that you could clearly tell that the man he was talking to was uncomfortable and didn't care for the sport either. I work in customer service and I knew this was going to be an interesting morning. After eventually being noticed as I stood at the bar, I placed my order for a goats cheese panini and Americano- which I quickly got told is actually called a long black with milk. He knew what I was asking for but the guy started trying to educate me on coffee. He clearly knew everything. I bit my tongue. Ordering the coffee I sat down. Even the table wasn’t sturdy enough. It was bearable as long as I didn’t touch anything! It even felt like my laptop was covered in a thin layer of grease just entering the place. They need public showers there just to help customers combat the dirt accumulating the place. Sitting down I was expecting to get a half decent cup of coffee, considering the guy knew so much about coffee. But what I got I can only describe as the instant stuff anyone can make at home but without the taste. Definitely not worth the £2.00 I had to spend on it (or 200p to this patronising café!). My 550p Panini eventually arrived, resembling cardboard bound together by the most pathetic amount of what was apparently goats cheese. I could only eat half due to the roof of my mouth being shredded to pieces and the concern that it was impossible to eat quietly. I only ordered it because it was the only thing on the menu even remotely healthy! As for the man serving I found him rude and even a little patronising. I even witnessed him refuse to let a pregnant lady use the toilet as she wasn’t a customer. As someone whose job revolves around customer service, I wanted to record the whole thing to use in my presentations on how to throw customer service out of a window. If you’re in to faulty towers then this is the place for you. Although I recommend you bring plenty of hand sanitiser.

go here for breakfast with friends and family always good value and a good breakfast starts the day!

I stop by here most mornings on the way to work to pick up a coffee (and occasionally a freshly baked, still warm, pain au raisin if I'm feeling naughty). Their coffee is delicious and the staff are lovely, having my coffee going before I get a chance to order. Haven't eaten here, but the food does look good and there are plenty of regulars there eating every morning.

This cafe has cultivated a slightly rough and ready look inside - shabby chic without too much chic. It fills up with a whole range of locals and others, like me, filling the odd hour away from home. It's difficult to choose from the range of goodies ... My friend and I shared a 'jewel cake' (a slice with delicious bits on top) and carrot cake which was seriously good. Worth a detour - it's only a mile and a half from the town centre along the river, then up a little road. It's also in a parade of independent shops where I bought a 'vintage' dress on one charity shop and socks in another, then cards in the adjacent gift shop. A lovely area.

The Chelsea Cafe is in a suburb of Bath, about 1 mile from the city centre, in an area I know as Weston but the locals describe it as Chelsea village. So plenty of free car parking can be found here. There is certainly a Bohemian atmosphere here, aided partly by this cafe being in a lovely old (and probably listed) building which I imagine used to be a small chapel.My visit took place on a rather hot weekday in May at lunchtime. I ordered an all-day breakfast with coffee and it was delicious and served up quite quickly and politely. All of the outside tables were unfortunately occupied so I had to sit indoors but the ceiling fans make a good job of keeping the inside cool. As others have stated, prices here are not cheap but that is Bath for you - I would certainly have paid more if I ordered the same food in Bath city centre. I consider the food here good value for money, for the location. This cafe seemed popular even on a working day so I would imagine the relative lack of seats (about 30 I reckon) might prove a problem at peak times.There are a few points of detail which prevents this cafe getting the full 5 *. Firstly the floor - it looks at if the previous vinyl was taken up and then the floor just left in its rough state! The menus are not displayed on each table but held centrally at the ordering counter (so difficult to access if there is a queue) although there was one also displayed in the doorway - but standing there to browse that blocks the entrance of course. The 'specials' board was clearly displayed however so I find that a bit inconsistent. Condiments are not present on each table nor held centrally so have to be requested. The same with sauces, in fact the waitress had to go outside to retrieve what appeared to be the only bottle of tomato sauce available from one of the outside tables. Some might consider that penny pinching. I did not notice a 'Scores on the Doors' hygiene rating displayed but nothing gave me cause for concern on that front.To summarise - this cafe is totally recommended though if you are a regular eater here the costs would build up over time.

The Chelsea cafe is the local cafe to Chelsea road, perfect after a walk around Weston. The cafe serves lovely coffee and lovely home cooked food, I particularly like going here for brunch - the poached eggs and beans on toast are a particular favourite!

Went here after a walk and needed some warming up. Pretty trendy place but definitely not style over substance. Coffee nicely presented (with a swirl) and good taste. Yes its quite expensive but I think worth it. Bagel with scrambled egg very well done and my son loved his macaroni cheese...Will come back..,.

Came for breakfast, bacon sandwiches, eggs benedict and coffees, all very nice but I think they should invest in some better bread for the sarnie's rather than standard sandwich loaf as the bacon etc is so nice it deserves a better home. Good looking place, nice staff and importantly clean toilets!

this has a perfect sunday morning ambiance. there is a small menu which is no bad thing and would recommend the eggs benedict with salmon and coffee or tea reading the sunday papers by the large windows overlooking chelsea road.

I'm a regular at the Chelsea Cafe because its a great place for breakfast or lunch when you want something more fun that toast or a sandwich. I think the beetroot and goats cheese salad is great, but the poached eggs and ham is also really tasty when you want something simpler. Great coffee too, and service is reliably good.

I recently moved to a house about 20 yards from the Chelsea Cafe and I'm now spoilt for great food and coffee! They do one of the best flat whites in Bath, and with this much quality competition that's something to be proud of. The food is also excellent including the ever tempting cake selection.Yes you can find cheaper as some have mentioned but personally I think its pretty good value for the quality. The decor is welcoming and actually quite trendy for want of a better word and we (including the dog) have always felt very welcome.

Stopped here for coffee today. The staff were very helpful, the atmosphere was great and the coffee was excellent. We certainly be going back.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Great food and drinks worth the visit. Highly recommend the hot chocolate and muffin

Had a lovely Sunday morning breakfast here. Quick and friendly service, tasty food reasonably priced.

Une bonne adresse pour un super breakfast anglais… qui se décline en 'standard" et XXL.Le patron est très sympathique et n'hésite pas à distiller quelques mots français. Une bonne table.

I happened upon this lovely cafe by chance a couple of weeks ago and have been back several times since. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the coffee is amazing. I have to admit I have sampled their cakes and I can recommend them too. Definitely worth stopping by.

Was just wandering round Bath one summer morning and happened upon the Chelsea Cafe. Turned out it was one of the nicest cups of coffee I've ever had. If i lived near here i'd be in all the time but I don't so probably thats my one and only visit to tho slovenly little cafe

Brilliant service, tasty breakfast and amazing coffee. Have been here a number of times and never had a bad experience.

I have only been there once as I no longer live in Bath, but had a fantastic English breakfast and a delicious Coffee. The person who served me seemed to have alit of knowledge and passion about Coffee. I asked him about the options and he gave me some very insightful answers. The place has a lovely local atmosphere which is sadly lacking in most chain coffee shops. I now live in Busan Korea, and they have 1000s of Coffee shops but 99.99% are chains with no atmosphere. Will be coming back in the Summer when come back to UK.

The cafe is a great asset to the Newbridge area of Bath. There's a nice feel to the place and the coffee is pretty good (though the cake I had was a tad stale). The service seems a little aloof though; when I ordered my coffee, I asked the chap serving whether it would be brought over to my table, or whether I should wait at the bar (I wasn't sure of the 'protocol'), he just said 'stay here' in a bit of a stressy manner. He might not have meant anything however. Will come back and try again!

The staff really make the place because they're always very friendly and welcoming. It's a nice place to stop for a coffee, and seems to be a hub where a lot of the local community go to meet up. The coffee is good - I've only had food there once, but the whole menu sounds pretty tasty. Prices are about what you'd expect for a cafe.This cafe isn't near the centre of Bath - I wouldn't go out of my way to go there as there are plenty of equally good cafes in the centre - but it's definitely the best place to pop into if you find yourself over that way.

.............that you would have to drag me AWAY, again and again and again!!!!Oh, I wish I lived nearby. It would definitely become my regular haunt. The staff and owner are funny and friendly, and welcoming. It's got a real "local" feel, great coffee and danish's, that's all I had time to sample. Thanks for the use of your Wifi when I needed it desperately. Look forward to returning at some time in the future. x

Nice food, amazing coffee, good service and always busy. I know a lot of local people who go there and swear by it as one of the best cafes in Bath. They are also very family friendly and have books for children etc. Food is all locally sourced and at an ok price. Would definitely recommend!

The Chelsea cafe is such a lovely place to stop, any negative reviews MUST be a one off. The staff are always cheerful, very genuine and friendly. This would make us love a place anyway ,however the food especially the breakfasts are great, all locally sourced and not bad price. We wish this venue was open in the evenings as we would love to walk down and enjoy the evenings at the Chelsea cafe. If you have the chance to , go here ! You cannot go wrong. True sign of a family owned business, with genuine friendly staff.

Popped in here for a coffee as we were staying around the corner. Very friendly staff, seating outside and very nice 'real' coffee. Didn't eat any food as it was a very hot day but the choice looked very good.

I'm afraid that my experience at the Chelsea Cafe was one that left me thinking that this place is going to disappear up its own backside. Why are the prices in 'p' and the only thing fuller about the fuller english breakfast was the price!! £8.50, I mean 850p... Note for the owner / manager - sometimes other customers don't want to hear your opinions on everything and might want a little peace.

Visited on Saturday morning with friends for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised to find this independent cafe nestled at the top of chelsea road , very reminiscent of Notting hill but without the pretence ,great coffee ,I had a long black which was exactly what I needed after the night before!! Our eggs benedict were divine ,we have now found our new weekend luxury retreat .Will definitely. Be back.

Exract coffee roasters coffee - they do a good flat white. Also very generous breakfasts- if you have the heart for it, the fuller breakfast is the one.Friendly staff and nice setting too.

Morning number two of our weekend in Bath and time to find second breakfast spot. We loved the Chelsea cafe. I had the eggs benedict with salmon - came with spinach too and the hollandaise sauce was on the side. Fellow diner had the fuller breakfast which was enormous and looked fantastic.One of the best breakfast restaurants have been to!

I have been to the cafe a few times, always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome, the breakfast options are good and well made! The full English is exactly what it says it is, Full! So great if your hungry.Coffee is ok can be a little hit and miss but let's be honest, it's not the end of the world. All in all a great little place, with massive potential !

A good down to earth cafe. Good food, pleasant staff. Just what you need as a pick me up. Wi-Fi enabled so if you can't bear to be parted from WWW, there you go.

The perfect breakfast for a Sunday morning! Excellent example of fine latte art, lovely atmosphere, relaxed but efficient service!

The Chelsea Road Cafe is the perfect place to have a quick cappuccino and a delightful sausage sandwich packed with locally sourced bangers. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always make my stay very relaxing - I was so relaxed last time I read the paper from the day before and didn't even notice until the end! Supporting our independant traders is key to stop turning our wonderful city of Bath into another 'CHAIN' only city.
