I’ve compiled a list of 15 of the best cafes and best coffee shops in Bath. After recently spending a month housesitting in the historic Roman town, I got to know several Bath cafes well. In fact, the cafe culture is similar to that of some of my favorite European cities.
Bath is a popular international tourist destination due to the rich history in the area. It dates back as far as the Roman times when they built baths around the naturally occurring hot springs which were believed to have healing properties. Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where beautiful and unique architecture awaits at almost every turn.
Bath has a great bar and restaurant scene and is home to Bath Spa University as well as the University of Bath which gives it a lively culture year-round. The River Avon runs along the edge of the city and is a beautiful addition to the cityscape. It’s popular with boaters and paddle boarders, as well as walkers and hikers who visit for the scenic trails the area offers.
Best Cafes and Coffee Shops in Bath
I’ve weighed up a number of factors in putting this list together, including the coffee (of course!), the setting, and the history. So, whether you’re looking for a great cafe to work from, a historic tea room, some unique coffee concoctions, or simply just some of the best coffee shops in Bath, you’ll find them in this list.
1. The Green Bird Cafe
(Best Cafe in Bath Overall)
Ideally located between two iconic Bath tourist attractions, the Royal Crescent and The Circus, the Green Bird Cafe is a delightful place to re-energize after a busy morning of sightseeing. The quaint courtyard with its historic walls is a great spot for a coffee and the additional outdoor seating has nice views of the beautiful Bath streets – it’s a great people-watching spot.
Come for the great coffee but stay for the food. The breakfast here is fantastic. The French toast with maple syrup and bacon is as good as it sounds and must be tried. It’s often a busy location but the friendly staff are always courteous and handle the tourist traffic well.
It’s worth the short wait for a seat in the courtyard, the Green Bird is one of my favorite Bath cafes.
