The Jazz Cafe in Bath and North East Somerset

Really disappointing visit to this restaurant. We visited as a family and were hungry after a busy morning. The sandwiches were really quite small, a poor amount of filling and a shameful side salad. The dishes were not cheap and they were not worth the money. Steak in the steak ciabatta was chewy and fatty. 2 stars for quick service and good coffee.

Excellent, filling breakfast and plenty of non-fry-up options in a cozy and friendly environment. Child friendly and conveniently located.

Visited for breakfast as a group of 8 after a night in Bath. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the menu full of appetising items. To be honest, I could have chosen anything on it as they all appealed to me. However, as it was the morning after a good night out, it had to be the Kingsmead Breakfast, which was absolutely fantastic, with great quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Each and every one of us cynical old pensioners really enjoyed our meal and, without doubt, will definitely return next time we are in Bath.

Full English breakfast tiny , sausage poor quality . Toasted sandwich ok , side salad with it mouldy . We were looking forward to a nice brunch in bath with my mother . Unfortunately disappointed. Try elsewhere .

Great Cafe/Bistro- freshly cooked food. Always busy -staff attentive and helpful- can seem a little cramped inside but lots of seating outside.with great outlook on Kingsmead Square. Used to be called The Jazz Cafe hich is what the current photo shows

We were looking a cosy café with toasted sandwiches or paninis, and were pleased to find Kingsmead Kitchen, as several other local establishments either offered more substantial menu choices, or just pastries, cakes and croissants. We enjoyed the cheese and ham toasties and chose from a wide selection of fresh soft drinks – smoothies, fruit juice and milkshake to name but a few – and the usual range of coffees. Looking at other reviews, perhaps we will revisit for breakfast if we visit Bath again.

I had the best breakfast sandwich of my life at this restaurant. The bacon and egg sandwich was fantastic and when we asked if they could toast it the waiter immediately went to toast it for us. The service was amazing and the food was incredible 😌

Limited choices on menu, staff can’t be bothered to show any interest in their customers , quality of food and portion sizes poor. We ordered the lamb pitta which was the tiniest toughest pitta with 3 small Luke warm lamb patties inside with tzatziki and a pathetic side salad, just shy of £12! We also had the chilli with garlic bread, the waiters favourite apparently! This was a bowl of watery predominantly tomato based slop with barely any meat in it. it was served with a an insipid looking piece of bread which may or may not have been shown a bit of heat with a bit of garlic butter on. This was £13.25! Don’t waste you time or money going there, they don’t deserve your custom

They found us a table which was good as they were very busy. The food portion sizes were a bit tight though so not sure we’d go back.

My wife and I visited the cafe for breakfast, the decor, ambiance, and view of the square gives off a lovely setting for dining, but I can't say that the pricing and portion sizes are worth a return visit. I ordered American pancakes, which tasted like they'd been pulled off the shelf at Asda and microwaved, paid £3 extra for a small portion of watery scrambled eggs. My wife ordered the Veggie Breakfast of which she had no complaints. This is my first time visiting Bath, but I will be trying somewhere else for breakfast next time.

Terrible breakfast for the money. If the menu states that the breakfast comes with tomato then I expect more than a quarter of one! With so many other places in Bath offering far better quality The Kingsmead Kitchen seriously need to up their game!

We were returning here as we had a fab breakfast last year- we only wanted coffee today but we’re told they were only taking food orders- understandable if it’s busy but all the outside seating was free and not full inside? We were told next door do good coffee! Not the best way to run a business or encourage returning customers.Very disappointing.

We came here on a visit to Bath as we read some good reviews about the place. However, while most of the food we ordered was good, the cornbread that came with the cowboy beans was atrocious- I think it was a bad batch as it tasted like straight baking soda. We brought this to attention of the servers and they said they chucked the rest of it. However, until I asked for a discount there was barely any sort of compensation offered by the restaurant staff. One of the female servers did ask us to come for a free coffee later on. However, I felt like we weren’t taken seriously, maybe if we were a different color they might have taken us more seriously but that’s just an assumption I’m making.

Me and a friend came to kingsmead kitchen, I wanted to show them around bath and decided to have brunch here as I’ve been before and liked it Service was good couldn’t really fault the waiting staff however my friend ordered the scrambled egg and avo on toast with an added extra of salmon and we were absolutely shocked at the size of the salmon, it was an absolute joke. For £3.25 extra you got what was the scraping of salmon in a small mayo ramekin bowl probably about 2 teaspoons worth. I was so embarrassed to have brought my friend here. The waiting staff didn’t actually ask us during our meal if everything was fine so when I went to pay I did tell them but their response made me think they didn’t care

Friendly and efficient service. Good coffee. Had a lovely bacon sandwich and partner had pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Both enjoyed our food with a view of the busy square as we sat on outside table. Would recommend and would visit again if in Bath.

Spent a few days in Bath and found this gem to enjoy a breakfast prior to our days of enjoying the area. The service was excellent which was enhanced with cooked to order food.

We attempted to get a breakfast here. The waitress breezed past and served people who came in 10 minutes after us we sat another 10 minutes and gave up. The bloke near the door said cheers guys . They clearly can do without the business...

We sat down on one of the 5 empty tables to order coffee and were told sorry they were only servicing meals surely they didn't want empty tables would it not have been better to take our money, it is certainly unwelcoming that they can...

Food not great and expensive for very small portions. Paid 3.75 for extra salmon and it was literally 2cm of it and shredded to look more. Coffee not the best either.

Went for coffee on 23rd which was nice, service good. Was refused entry on 24th as we weren't eating, we were going to have lunch there but won't bother now

Since when did it become acceptable to charge 95p for a dash of Oat Milk in a coffee???!!! Didn't realise until we were presented the bill.

Whilst I was rather miffed at the high drink prices - £3.95 for a 330ml can of Coke, the overall food and quality brightened my mood of feeling ripped off. We both had two lovely light meals - the lamb in pitta was particularly good....

I always have breakfast here when I stay in Bath, as it is a stone's throw from my hotel. The staff are all pleasant and efficient. I always have scrambled eggs on toast which is cooked to perfection. Lovely old Georgian buiding looking onto Kingsmead...

Great breakfast, great prices and super speedy service. Couldn’t fault it! Quite busy which is a good sign!

The staff were pleasant and efficient, the setting was pleasant, but some of the food was not good. The prices charged were not justified. My partner’s breakfast was ok, but the toast had margarine on it, not butter, and we both had hashbrowns which were...

Easy walking distance of Hotel in rain, nearest was small capacity and full, so this was a few steps across the square. Friendly and efficient staff. Tasty food, good service - no complaints!

Delicious brunch, ordered the King's Ciabatta breakfast sandwich and it was very tasty but also a good portion. Highly recommend.

Give it a miss! Staff were efficient , food was lovely but——- portion sizes have diminished massively since we last came . I’m still hungry! Very overpriced . Won’t be back!

The staff are friendly and decor is nice, but unfortunately that is where the good experience end. We came here after it was recommended to us. Once we were seated and the food ordered it took less than 10 minutes for it to arrive. I...

Extortionate price for a club sandwich with measly side salad (only a single cherry tomato and a few leaves), friendly staff but not much ambience, tea served in espresso coffee cup. Would not visit again.

Incredibly tasty food and very ample portions! We really enjoyed our lunch at this cafe, it was reasonably priced considering the prices in other Bath cafes and we had a really yummy big meal.

Lovely little cafe, a good selection of options at lunch, and an excellent range of drinks [Milkshakes very good]. It is quite expensive, but we had a good meal so couldn't complain on that front. However, they charge £6.50+ for childrens portions, even for a...

Pretty poor breakfast for the price. Daughter's scrambled eggs were over dry and the salmon was hardly there. The sausages were mediocre. Pancakes were tiny and not cooked nicely. I would expect an American pancake to be much bigger - these were like drop scones...

Came here after our favourite cafe in bath was fully booked. Really yummy food however definitely over-priced for what we got! My partner got the breakfast Ciabatta and paid the same as a full English so we were expecting something very impressive but he was...

What can I say, perfect breakfast 2 days running, I can recommend everything, had scrambled egg with avocado on my first visit, yum!! But the full English on my second visit was even more yum! Shame I’m now home and can’t go again in the...

Came here based on overall reviews so had high expectations . Good central location and nice bright and airy premises, it looked nice on first impressions. However, breakfast far too expensive for what it is - very basic quality products, bland taste, hash brown undercooked...

We visited for this little cafe on a whim and had a very pleasant experience. We sat outside luckily, inside was small and very crammed as it was v busy. The service we had was faultless! Staff friendly & attentive. Prices were quite steep but...

Very busy, however the staff were friendly, professional and the service excellent. Cooked breakfasts were very tasty would highly recommend

Had breakfast there this weekend very poor. Microwaved pancakes that were so hard I could hardly cut them this was completely covered with compote and yoghurt. Presentation was dreadful. Very thin piece of sourdough £1 .50. There are in a prime position in Kingsmead Square...

Lovely service, nice choice of breakfasts on the menu. Location nice and central. Had a nicely made special omelette, tasty and good size. Coffee not bad for a British coffee either!

Been here before and had the full veggie which was good, this time I just had scrambled eggs and avocado on toast, which at £10.95 was overpriced - just one slice of sourdough with the avocado chopped and mixed in with the egg, enough to...

Lovely menu and location. Food pretty good when it arrived. Quite a bit of the menu unavailable with ‘one portion’ of this and that left - makes you think it’s a place they warm stuff up. Service patchy and seemed puzzled or to smirk when...

Stopped here for late morning food and so happy! Really gorgeous menu with options for traditional breakfasts but some more interesting options too. Very friendly and efficient staff and really hot and freshly cooked food - it was a lovely experience and I would highly...

We visited because this place was highly rated on tripdvior for breakfast. Unfortunately to our dismay, the food was poor. I ordered the pancakes which were atrocious they looked and tasted like the ones you can buy in sainsburys for 30p, so I’m unclear why...

Had breakfast here on bank holiday Monday, friendly staff, great food, and a good choice of gluten free food also.

Thé café was lovely but seriously £9.20 for a club sandwich that was literally two slices of toast with a bit of chicken & bacon !! No bread as a third layer .. Apple juice at £2.75 was your bog standard processed piss water ! Too expensive for what is served

Very good food and great value for money. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and return

Lovely little find amazing food an King's mead square had the ultimate omelette and warm salad which were absolutely amazing. Would Definately recommend

we visited Kingsmead Kitchen on a sunny Tuesday afternoon and were able to sit inside. It was clean, lovely decorated interior and super friendly and attentive staff, all wearing masks. We ordered the kingsmead kitchen breakfast and the chicken caeser salad with added ham. They were delivered quickly, and were absolutely delicious. Huge portions sizes, absolutely gorgeous. 0 faults, at all. Only issue here is no disabled bathroom facilities. Lots of outdoor seating so definitely a dog friendly venue. 10/10 recommended.

Visited with friends on a Sunday morning. Friendly staff, good menu, quick service and delicious food. Very reasonable prices compared to other places I encountered in Bath city centre that weekend. The waitress accidentally gave to of our orders to a different table but our waiter couldn’t apologise enough and replacements were with us in a few minutes.

Really delicious traditional fry up. Gluten free toast option which I was very happy about. Friendly staff. Will visit again.

Excellent brunch - very hot day and we queued for a short while to get a table. The staff were run ragged but served everyone with a smile. Excellent food and coffee.

My elderly grandad who is diabetic wanted to have a drink and potentially a cake here. He felt his sugar levels were dipping. He is unstable on his feet and we had to help him into the chair where he nearly fell. He only got released from hospital yesterday. The waiter after watching us struggle from the door, came out and told us if we were not ordering something substantial we would have to leave. Two of his friends on the next table started to laugh. Utterly disgraceful. So we picked my grandad up, moved down to the next cafe who were very accommodating and watched whilst the guy merely sat down chatting. Other people came and only ordered drinks. Absolutely terrible custom!

Great place to sit outside and enjoy a bit of sunshine while eating some lovely food. Ideally for a light lunch during a day visiting Bath

Will start from good point on this really poor breakfast Service was really helpful and good. Coffee was ok and hot chocolate for my daughter make her smille but that's end.All food was more than poor.My full breakfast was size of small kids portion sausage quality of Tesco mushrooms oily tasteless and like beans no more than forkExtra toast comes on one end part of bread. Breakfast for 10£ and I'm still like without eating.My kids didn't complain about them scramble but if this will be bad probably I will give only one star.

After a night in Bath, we fancied a full fry up. A quick search on google and TA found this little gem. Fantastic service and quality food. Would recommend

Absolutely fantastic English breakfast. One the best I have ever eaten. Quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Great and attentive staff too.

I approached the owners of the cafe to see if I could arrange a take away option for a picnic In Victoria Park and the customer service I received was excellent. There was something for everyone on the menu as well. I love the additions of Moroccan, Persian and Brazilian dishes. The food was carefully packaged and hot. It was very kind of the cafe staff to arrange this for me as it’s not something they usually do, so I appreciate their efforts very much. We all enjoyed our wraps and salads so very much. We will definitely be back to eat outside on the table and chairs in the sunshine. Thanks again!

Really good breakfast today , full English well presented , hot and portions good . Staff friendly and good service

Best breakfast I’ve ever had. Time and time again when I visit I only ever have the fried breakfast because it’s so divine that I can’t imagine anything being as delicious! I can’t fault the veggie fry up. Best in Bath & best in England!

We visited here today and had a lovely lunch , cheese and bacon melt and a lamb pitta , delish . Staff were really friendly and the outdoor heaters were a bonus .

We have lived just outside Bath for 4 years and this is our ‘go to’ breakfast destination. I’d recommend either the Shakshouka or the Full Kingsmead Breakfast; both will set you up for the day. We will miss the Kingsmead Kitchen when we move on in the Spring.

Excellent brunch here - all very fresh and nicely presented. The lunch options looked great especially if you are after vegetarian options.

Visited for breakfast on a recent trip to bath and it was so good we went back again during our stay. I had the shakshouka which I thorughly recommend and my fiance had the fry up both were tasty service was good and felt clean.

Fantastic food, especially the breakfast, delicious smoothies, friendly staff..... What more could you want!

Visitamos 3 veces para desayunar durante nuestra estancia.Mucha variedad para un vegetariano y la calidad de la comida es mucho mejor de lo que sugiere la decoración.Se llena bastante y no todos los asientos están en uso debido a las medidas de distanciamiento social. Además, sus baños no estaban disponibles durante este tiempo.

Nos alojamos en el Premier Inn, así que este es un café realmente útil en una plaza concurrida, encantador para cenar al aire libre y observar a la gente; disfrutamos de nuestros platos de brunch Shakshuka y Cowboy Beans, como algo un poco diferente y realmente sabroso. El personal es principalmente hombres jóvenes, por lo que un poco de charla, pero nos trataron de manera eficiente y cortés.

Need more heating outside but overall excellent service and excellent service everyone should go at least once

Lovely views of one of Bath's attractive squares. Tasty full English breakfast. Attentive, friendly, but professional staff. Reasonable prices. Will return next time visiting Bath.

Segunda visita esta semana y no será la última.Por fin hemos encontrado un restaurante que sabe cómo hacer huevos revueltos / sabroso y servido con deliciosas tostadas con mantequilla, alguien que antes se quejaba de que la sal, la pimienta y las salsas no estaban en las mesas, tenga en cuenta que la mesera cuando sirva le preguntará si necesita alguna precaución y En cuanto al menú, lo encontrará en la ventana de entrada.Gracias a todos por la sabrosa comida.

Este restaurante tiene asientos al aire libre y, después de comprar en Beautiful Bath, fue un bienvenido descanso para comer excelente comida y observar a la gente, aunque esta parte de Bath está hacia el extremo más tranquilo.Pedí la ensalada fattoush y el café. El personal es excelente y la comida llegó muy rápido, la comida era excelente y no dudaría en volver.

Amazing breakfast, staff were very good, the review from the previous person about covid 19 is not justified as the staff a very efficient on cleanliness

Lovely breakfast of bacon and egg sandwich here washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Great menu for breakfast or lunch in a very inviting square of Bath. Pity one member of staff doesn’t appear happy in his work and practically threw our drinks at us but maybe he was having a bad day!

Went here for breakfast this morning, couldn’t fault it really, I could be picky and criticise the size of the tea cup more like an espresso cup, but not a deal breaker.What has given me the reason for my review is the lack of COVID consideration We waited outside for someone to leave, no problem.However the table wasn’t disinfected nor were any of the laminated menus or salt and peppers, ketchup containers, nothing..They may socially distance the tables but nothing was done to stop the spread of peoples touch etc. There is also the fact that they take no responsibility for track and trace and expect us to email them to say we have been there. Not sure how many people would bother.Overall a lovely breakfast but would not recommend or return as I didn’t feel safe that they were taking the proper measures to keep us all safe.Shame really but need to do more to do more .

Anniversary wknd and needed Adam good breakfast this little place didn't disappoint thanks very much.

We went for breakfast and my partner had a bacon sandwich, I had the classic breakfast. Decent size, good bread but in all honest, there was nothing special about the bacon or sausage in my opinion and they are the stars of the fry up. The fried egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans were all cooked well so I may be a bit harsh but the stars are the bacon and sausage. I would go back for breakfast again if I was in Bath as they had plenty of choice and you won’t be disappointed with the fry up, although you won’t be wowed.

Beautiful breakfast, the best we have had in ages. Bacon was so tasty and egg definitely layer fresh. Can not recommend enough

A nice cafe offering coffee and lunch. They offer sandwiches, paninis, salads and in a nice location ,make this cafe a nice lunch stop.

Boyfriend and I were so impressed with the amount of food that turned up! Everything was really really good exceppptt my scrambled eggs were rather soggy, slightly disappointing as the rest of the meal was delightful, hopefully this can be rectified the next time we visit!

Lovely Breakfast - early start in Bath today so thought we’d try this place as the smell of bacon was just too tempting! Fry up was fab and service excellent - well worth a visit.

Had a really lovely omelette here for lunch on a busy day with everywhere packed. Glad we stopped there as food was delicious

Excellent breakfast. Attentive service. Baked eggs and great coffee. 9.30 on a Sunday morning. Wet streets from overnight rain and sunshine. Watching the city wake up. Could have been in any continental city. Fantastic start to a staycation.

The coffee is wonderful. Food fresh and good quality. Scrambles eggs on toast, Shakshuka and mezze are my favourites.

Brunch at The Kingsmead Kitchen was a pleasant experience, the staff were attentive and slightly comical. The food was a delight and even though the lamb was slightly undercooked- without mentioning it, I was made aware that it would be taken off the bill. I couldn't have asked for a better service and they were very understanding about my wife's bladder condition- even though the toilets were out of order during the pandemic..Again, great service, great food and a great experience A*

Have come here a lot over the years doesn’t seem so good Very few people in the restaurant so service was quick Couldn’t use the toilet facilities Lemonade expensive and tasted as if watered down

Had a nice table outside, service was good, the food came quickly was really tasty but did seem a bit overpriced for what we had. Other thing to note is that the toilets were closed for COVID reasons when we visited - they did have a sign up but we didn't see it until we'd already ordered

Friendly and professional staff. We were eating outside and a bowl of salad was attacked by a seagull. Within thirty seconds the waiter appeared and took it away to have it remade. They took social distancing seriously which is appreciated. Couldn't ask for any more!

You can't argue that the food is good quality and with quality comes the cost.My partner and I had large breakfasts with lattes and at £28, its a bit steep. But I can't knock the quality of the ingredients or the cooking.Still worth a visit

A nice, cosy restaurant in a prime location in the city centre. I was in dire need of a decent full English breakfast and I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious, cooked to perfection and I've never had a portion of mushrooms that I thought I wouldn't get through (I did). When in Bath, this will be my go-to breakfast spot.

Went to the Kingsmead kitchen on the first day of our break in Bath, intended to try other establishments whilst there for breakfast like The Boston Tea Party ( which has two establishments in the city) but after trying The Kingsmead Kitchen with its wide variety of choices across the menu, plus tea’s, coffees, Hot chocolate’s, soft drinks and juicesI’m not saying other establishments would have disappointed us, but the breakfast was presented and cooked so well we thought why even chance itKingsmead kitchen, great friendly staff, great selection and great food. Keep up your excellent standards

What a great place for breakfast no wonder it was packed! Food was delicious, with quality ingredients and service was great! We’ve stopped at this lovely cafe whilst visiting Bath and we were pleasantly surprised! Highly recommend it!

A small restaurant but on a great location. We had 2 shakshukas (extra extra eggs cause we were so hungry) and it was delicious! Tables can be quite close to each other, but it gives you a cozy and friendly vibes. We didn't try other dishes but will definitely come back again for the shakshuka!

Fantastic Breakfast worth the extra money and the tight squeeze. Fully worth the wait queuing outside to get a table. 5⭐

I would have a full English 3 times a day here if I could, but, I’d be dead. It’s the cholesterol you see, Scottish people eat it. Few of them make 60. I made a few notes. Bacon 10/10. Buttons mushrooms, bingo. Black pudding, snap. Minor criticism, more distance between the egg and the beans. I may want to mix them but I want that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater. I’m nitpicking. On the whole 7/10.

A very lovely place; the food was well presented and really flavoursome. We each had a different dish and all we greatly enjoyed and got the taste test seal of approval from all of us.

Great breakfast, lovely atmosphere, good value and all in all just what we were looking for, especially as our hotel was charging £30 a head for breakfast - well worth the walk - thank you

Good value breakfast and fabulous quality with lots of choice. Very friendly staff, would recommend.

Always friendly welcoming staff. Instead of breakfast I went in for lunch this time. I had Cowboy Beans - Slow cooked pancetta with Boston beans, baked eggs & spiced corn bread. All delicious.

We ordered two breakfasts and a few drinks each. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. Tasted really fresh and well cooked. Was really pleased.

If this place wasn’t located in this area, the business would have failed on the attitude of its staff. We can’t rate the food due to lack of attention provided by the staff during our visit. Appalling nonchalant head waiter who was more interested in getting the breakfast covers over, asking us to wait outside in the rain for 20 minutes, when questioned whether he could reserve a table and we would return in 20 mins, to avoid the rain, he said this was not possible.
