Bear is exceptional. My number one in Stone for their delicious coffee. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. It’s a great location to work from, with ample sockets and dog friendly.

Really disappointed
Really disappointed. We had the sourdough toast with avocado and pea.
The sourdough toast was the but of the bread, there was only the slightest amount of avocado and just full of the cheapest ingredient of peas!!!!!
We had two lots and both were the but end of the bread, I don’t even know how that’s possible!!!
On one we had an additional portion of feta and this was the slightest amount of sprinkling on the top.
Overall extremely dissatisfied and disappointed!!

Really disappointed with my first visit…
Really disappointed with my first visit here. I was looking forward to the Buddha bowl but it didn’t live up to its expectations (or name for that fact) not only was it a PLATE but for £9 all you get is 3 small falafels cut in half, a smear of Humous and a tablespoon of grains with spinach. As a starter it would be tasty, as a main for lunch as it was listed I was very underwhelmed. A Buddha bowl is supposed to be a BOWL filled to the brim with a host of tasty delights, and whilst everything listed on the menu was present, I was just sorely disappointed with the quantity for the price.

As you can see from many of our previous reviews, we receive lots of compliments on the quality and value of our food, so I can only apologise that your experience with us didn't meet up to our usual high standards.
Please rest assured that I will pass your comments on to our Group Head Chef for him to look in to with the team. We'd love for you to come back and see us again to allow us the opportunity to show you how great our food really is! :)

A lovely café bar
A lovely café bar to eat, drink, rest and actually enjoy work! I spent a relaxing hour or so logged into work. The coffee was excellent and the service first class. A friendly atmosphere and one to which I'll definitely return. Thank you and see you all soon

Food is good quality and fairly priced.
