The Forum Coffee House in Bath and North East Somerset

Such a great vibe and the best coffee in Bath at a good price. Always my favourite choice! The food is delicious with a good number of options. Friendly staff.

Lovely coffee house attached to the Forum theatre. Coffee is great, breakfast pastries delicious. A much better option than some of the big name coffee shops in Bath

Popped in on our way from the train station to the hotel, lovely coffee and great to be back in bath now things are slowly returning to normal! Would 100% recommend.

We popped into this coffee shop after arriving at the station. It had a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good coffee. We enjoyed the coffee and pastry deal that tempted us!

We had planned to do a daytrip to Bristol but the trains weren't running and the busses were a nightmare to work out, and it was raining, and we were hungover - so we gave up and found the nearest cafe. They had a cheap deal on for a Tea and a Bacon sandwich which was exactly what we needed, so we didn't get to try anything else on the menu. However, the staff were very helpful in suggesting potential places for dinner that evening and it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. It was also nice to see a mixture of customers - tourists (us), a couple of Mums having a catch up, a guy having a Zoom meeting, a guy popping in with his son etc. If I ever find myself catching a bus in Bath I'll be sure to pop in here first.

Pleased to see The Forum Coffee House open for takeaway via hatch at the front of the cafe. Good Americano and Mocha with Almond Milk, from Bristol roasted beens. Contactless card payment, and good screening for staff. Will definitely use again.

This coffee shop was nicely busy and had a great atmosphere. Nice decor, good coffee and friendly service.

Fue una parada decepcionante aquí, mi esposo pidió un café que tenía un tinte cuando llegó y unos 10 grados más fresco de lo que debería haber sido. Pedí té verde y llegó una buena olla que vertí, desafortunadamente el té no tuvo tiempo para preparar ni el camarero especificó esto, así que tuve una taza de té transparente con cero sabor y no es como si pudiera volver a servirlo para permitirle más tiempo de preparación.¡Puedo ver que era un espacio popular para los estudiantes con sus computadoras portátiles, lo que significaba que el ambiente no era para nosotros!

Awesome coffee shop I always visit when in Bath visiting customers. Really friendly staff and a great selection of food and drink. Try the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) wrap it’s so tasty

Ducked in from the rain and found the best service in the Uk, friendly and gelpful with great food and coffee

Vine a tomar una copa con mi hija y me encantó este lugar. Gran servicio, y todo el personal parecía feliz de estar allí. Sólo tenía bebidas y tostadas. La mantequilla era perfectamente untable que la mayoría de los lugares no logran. Simplemente un lugar realmente cómodo y relajante para pasar el tiempo.

Fantastic venue, lovely staff and atmosphere! The original venue for my live music event cancelled last minute, the coffee house staff were so kind and facilitating, helping me and my business partner to move our event there! We were able to move the chairs and tables around to create the space we needed. Great accessible location close to bus station, train station and car parks. I visit the coffee house regularly and just love the friendly atmosphere! Also love that they can cater for my gluten & dairy free needs!! (The gluten free banana bread is amazing!)

This is a regular for me now, honestly the best cappuccino I’ve probably ever had. Also the carrot cake is out of this world.Staff are so friendly and welcoming, interiors and atmosphere is everything you would want in a cafe.I do wish the coffee were slightly larger, they’re just too nice I always want more!

Great location, sunlight, friendly service, comfy seats, lovely atmosphere, food and drinks, couldn’t recommend more!

Tuve un increíble blanco plano (con leche de avena) en la cafetería Forum. El interior es espacioso, con alusiones modernas y sutiles al edificio Art Deco. La luz y el ambiente de la mañana eran relajantes, y el personal era cálido y conocedor de los cafés de los huéspedes. Definitivamente me convertiré en un habitual en este lugar.

The staff in the Forum are lovely. They are friendly, pleasant and very willing to make the hot drinks to the customer's requirement. The cakes are delicious too and it is a relaxing place to meet with friends.

My friends and I frequent the forum at least 2/3 times a week and the coffee is lovely, the atmosphere friendly and familyesque, and some of the panini flavours are lovely!

With a recent change of ownership, the new team of Anna, Nathan and Joel were brilliant in helping me host a party on a Saturday evening there.

Surprisingly roomy coffee bar just off the main drag. I think the building was originally a cinema, dating back to the 1920s at a guess. Comfy benches round the walls. Wooden tables and a choice of benches and chairs. A bit echoey, and considering it was almost empty, rather loud

Let me set the scene 6 tables occupied, 15 people seated. 2 coffees ordered 25 mins ago (not even exaggerating) and waiting for my take away coffee. As I said good atmosphere if you got time to watch coffee beans grow.. mean time I shall keep waiting, hoping I will get my coffee before Christmas

Independent coffee shop. Nice atmosphere reasonable range of drinks, quite limited range of cakes and food

First thing u notice is the wobbly table omg am I on a boat???? Breakfast blend is a complex but appealing beast maybe too many ingredients. Feelin the vibez in here I’m feeling jungle forester exploration party minimum age 35. Great view of the road and mcdonalds

This cafe does serve delicious coffee and hot chocolate, however, it is expensive, and the service although friendly is quite slow. The brownies were average and not worth the price. On the second and last occasion I visited, I waited 20 minutes after ordering drinks, and had to ask for a refund as I needed to leave and the drinks had not been made. I think there are better coffee shops in Bath, and although there is a nice atmosphere, the service and drinks do not justify the price.

Sadly, as I’ve visited on a number of occasions and always had excellent service, today it seemed I wasn’t worthy of a coffee! First I waited for several minutes, having been promised that my drink would be brought over. Then, having asked again I sat down once more. However, still no luck. I was given a refund and it was time to leave. I guess mistakes happen.

Little coffee shop near the Forum Theatre. Great range of coffee and a great Chicken Chowder with seedy bread. Friendly atmosphere and interesting mix of people. Staff all in tight jeans, pointy shoes, beards and woolly hats! If that’s what you’re looking for..........

Walked into here as I had just arrived in Bath and was very much in need of lunch. It looked nice enough - nice decor and professional appearance and on the surface the menu seemed nice. I ordered a sweet chilli chicken panini and was told they had no chicken so changed to a ham and cheese panini. By the time I returned from the bathroom my partner informed me the staff had been to the table and said they also had no paninis so I was now having a toasted sandwich. The coffee arrived first which I can't complain at but they provided me with a filthy spoon - grimey with old bits of food or tea leaf stuck to it. The sandwich arrived after quite a wait and was nothing better than the cheapest I could have made myself from A supermarket - basic bread and one slice of water thin ham. I was so hungry I didn't complain but don't waste your money eating here.

Well i needed some lunch and had just got to bath so walked into the first place i saw. Error. Asked for a chicken panini from the limited menu. Didn't have chicken. Didn't have paninis. Had a salami sandwich which i couldn't tell had salami other than the fact i could see a slither. And the spoon provided with the coffee was dirty. Like really dirty. Grime and what looked like a leaf of old tea on it. All in all, save your money.

Super coffeeeeee!!!!!.....best coffee I have had in ages, so food in fact I am going to try to sell it in my own shop!

lots of places to get coffee and cakes in Bath and this is one of the best. Nice light open environment, friendly helpful staff, good quality coffee and very nice cakes

Popped in for a coffee, whilst the females are shopping. Greeted as I expect and happy to try their local blend. A touch sweet for my taste but very happy I came in. They have a nice selection of cakes available too.

I often make a point of stopping here when coming into Bath for the day. I'm very keen on well made, quality coffees from independent coffee shops so always enjoy this one superbly! The friendly staff know what they're doing and offer a better-than-average loyalty card system! Coffees are always beautifully well made, although not the cheapest! But that is to be expected for such good quality and in Bath.

Greeted with a smile and polite conversation. Reasonably priced and a good selection of food. The coffee was on point and it's always nice to see good gear being used well. Would definitely recommend and the service was quick as well.

I was recently in Bath and found this nice place. England in general has quite a high level of coffee but this place is just delightful. I spend there an hour a couple of times per week, the atmosphere for work is very nice and they serve delicious cakes and sandwiches. I highly recommend this place, especially because of the people who work there, always leaving them with a smile on my face.

Independent coffee houses are just great, and this is no exception. Superb coffee with a friendly smile ensures customers return and I definitely will. If you are in Bath lookup The Forum Coffee House ... you won't regret it.

Great place for a chill. Lovely staff, lovely food/drinks and a glorious atmosphere. Also sells some tasty craft beers...always a bonus

Great coffee served with a smile. Always a relaxed atmosphere, cakes are amazing and defenetly worth a try.

Popped in after a visit to the rooftop spa this week, Excellent coffee and Mocha. The food was very tasty too. It was a really pleasant surprise. Staff were very friendly too. Have to give it 5 out of 5

I've probably spent a quarter of what I earn a year in this coffee shop. Love the staff, coffee and food. Space is ideal for freelancers like myself who need wifi, plug sockets and an easy space to get stuff done in.

Very cosy place to drink a really tasty hot chocolate. Everyone is welcoming. The armchairs are so comfy. Great to stay here waiting the rain to stop...

Lovely little independent coffee shop. The staff were lovely and chatty and seemed proud to work there. Coffee and food were great, and the atmosphere was spacious, light and friendly.

Been here a few times either post a run or after a shopping trip. Not a chain, which appeals to me, good coffee and the chocolate brownie is fantastic. Staff are always very friendly. Prices are good. For this extended trip to Bath my preferred coffee shop.

After working in speciality coffee in other cities I'm so pleased to find such a perfect in town cafe to relax with a nice coffee and get some work done. I also had a gorgeous loose leaf which was and the staff were happy to refill the water as well. The only suggestion I have is a single origin or another blend, nothing wrong with the house but it's always nice to have something different because I think I will be returning a lot haha!

Excellent food and immaculate service. Had both coffee break and lunch here with friends and couldn't either quality or service. Very reasonable prices

If you're looking for somewhere for coffee or a nice choice of breakfasts that is close to the rail and bus station, this is is the place for you. As its slightly away from the main touristy pedestrianised areas it was very quiet when we were there. And the manager was very friendly indeed and spontaneously chatted to us. Nice toilets too.

The Forum is high quality. Amazing coffee with very knowledgeable baristas. Relaxed setting with trendy and comfortable furniture. A very relaxing and pleasant environment to sit and get away from it all - over a phenomenal coffee to boot.

The most lovely and probably the friendliest staff in bath and very good coffee. Highly recommend if you want good coffee in an environment with significantly less hipsters then other similar level coffee houses in bath.

A relaxing time in stylish surroundings. We often have lunch here with our small daughter. She loves the child's menu which is just as freshly prepared as the simple and tasty main menu. The coffee is great and so are the cakes. Always a warm welcome, couldn't ask for more!

Really great coffee, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, best new place in Bath. Good cakes too, definitely recommended.

A lovely sport for a coffee, smoothie or loose leaf tea. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, so if you're in a rush you might have to order through an app they use (Ordoo). The cakes are scrumptious and worth buying if you have a slightly larger budget. Worth it though.

I have been in here a few times either with friends or to sit and get some work done. The service is always friendly and I'm no coffee connoisseur, but it always tastes great. It is a little bit pricey, but that is to be expected in the centre of Bath. The best thing is the spacious seating and good atmosphere. Great to have a chat with friends.

An open, airy and light coffee shop just off the main rat run of Bath. Staff are always welcoming with emphasis placed on good coffee. Generally found the cafe a good environment to work and meet in however I have experienced some issues with wifi connectivity.

I've been before to the Forum and I usually like to visit at least once a Bath trip seeing as it's en route from the train station to many of the places I like to go.

this place was really comfortable and had a friendly atmosphere. all the staff were really nice, as was the food and drinks. Defiantly going back next time we go to Bath.

I come here occasionally for catch-ups with work colleagues. It offers a nice open, relatively spacious environment to have a chat over a coffee and a pastry. The coffee is always good, the service quick and friendly. The food is limited to toast, pastries, cakes etc but that’s no bad thing – better to do a few things well than a load of stuff not so well.

Great place to meet and chat over a coffee. Shame the menu is so limited, but soups are hearty and filling.

After waiting a few minutes, then asking (prompting, perhaps?) the staff if my tea was on its way, one of them leapt in to action. Unbeknownst to me they use loose leaf tea; great if you have all the time in the world but not so when the tea-maker allows it to stew for seconds before handing over a cup of tea-infused hot water.

Good coffee and proper tea but limited range of snacks nice place to sit and relax although can get busy with students and struggle for seating but worth seaking out away from from the bussle of town

Forum Coffee House is one of my favorite place to study at! Great coffee and the best carrot cake I have ever had. The place is huge so everyone has really comfortable place to enjoy their coffee.

They have a gluten free menu as well . Easy access toilets. Close to train and bus station. Free wifi, locked so you need to ask for password. Great place to sit in window and watch the perpetual traffic jam crawl through Bath

I spent a long time trying to find an accessible cafe to meet some friends. We have a mixture of food intolerances, wheelchairs, scooters and walking sticks amongst us. The group could have been from 3 to 10 people. I sent the forum a message and from the beginning they were welcoming and courteous.

We have looked at The Forum Coffee House several times on our way from the car park to the main shopping centre but have never gone inside. However last Friday, as the Christmas Market was in full swing and everywhere was so busy we decided to try it.

This is a great space - big windows make it very light and airy which is a bonus in the autumn and winter months! Love going for a coffee and some work time. Good atmosphere with easy music that is non invasive.

Nice spacious cafe with friendly staff but the coffee lets it down. We all had cappuccino's which were lukewarm. If the cafe had not been so busy with only 2 people serving we would of asked them to make it hotter but as it was we just drank them up and left. Will not be returning.

The Forum Coffee House is a beautifully designed speciality coffee shop. Compared to the vast amounts of coffee shops in Bath, the Forum is spacious, bright and atmospheric.

Lovely coffee, friendly service, beautiful interior ( the windows give so much natural light it's stunning) & location is ideal. It's always clean and tidy, which is a lot more than I can say for most coffee shops. Free WiFi is a bonus to sit and do some work.

We were with family and popped in for a coffee and cake in the afternoon. Lots of space, good decor and very helpful and friendly staff. Average prices. Cakes were nice.

Just came in and had a delicious pour over. I'm a fussy coffee drinker and it was definitely worth a visit.

I really liked this place. The coffee was excellent and very well made. Prepared with Bonsoy and not the inferior Alpro. The lounge is large and spacy with tables and very comfy sofa chairs. Muted greys with a definite 50s bent with regards to the style (stylised chairs, wallpaper etc.). Not many people the few times I've been so personal service and room to chill. Tried the granola which was very tasty and came with cashew which was a nice first. It's not too far from the station and worth the walk as the few coffee shops near there are OK enough but here is better.

Not sure what was going on here. The Forum is a really nicely laid out cafe and we were served by friendly staff. There were excellent coffee options with two interesting looking espresso choices. Unfortunately the coffees themselves were terrible. Both a flat white and a latte were terrible. I presume they were made with skimmed milk or topped up with water. Wouldn't go back.

We have looked forward to going here as it looks nice. And first impressions were good. Nice decor and friendly staff. Unfortunately it was all downhill from here. The coffee took far too long to arrive (made Marks and Spencer look speedy) when it did arrive it was lukewarm and not very nice. We won't bother again.

Being a barista else where in the UK I found the coffee to be at an excellent standard! Very modern with a chic twist, very relaxing and beautiful place to have a stop off from shopping... thank you!

Located just off the new Southgate shopping area this venue makes a very relaxed place to enjoy coffee and light bites in comfort. All in all a very well conceived venue. Love it here.
