Lovely atmosphere, beautiful coffee & cakes, friendly staff, variety of hot vegetarian foods. I would very much like the option to takeaway savoury food in the near future and use cash in addition to card payments.

Thank you so, so much for the amazing support and wonderful review! It's great to receive such fab feedback :) The team are able to offer most dishes from our brunch menu to take away so perfect for taking for a little picnic in the sunshine!
I will pass your feedback about taking cash too - this is something we're continually reviewing, so it's helpful to hear what our lovely customers think! Looking forward to seeing you again very soon!

Thanks for the review and feedback, Charlotte! So pleased to hear that you enjoyed everything you tried. A number of the things on our menu can be made in to smaller versions for kids - just ask a member of our team and they'll be happy to help you out! I'll also be sure to pass your comments on to the relevant people. :) Hope to see you again very soon!
Can't fault Bear!
Every visit to bear is always amazing, staff are so friendly and understand that, to quote a staff member, 'adding your own mill to your tea is such a personal thing', which I agree with! The food is always excellent and in the evening, the service never changes, staff are still always so polite and the atmosphere is amazing.

The BEAR is our go-to brunch break.
The BEAR is our go-to brunch break in our journey from the Wirral to the the East Midlands. The food is excellent. There's a wide selection to choose from for vegetarians (my wife) and omnivores (me) and it is always freshly prepared. The ambience is great and the staff are very friendly. The BEAR is worth a visit.

Thanks for taking the time to review us, however I'm sorry that you felt a little let down by your experience with us recently.
All of the coffees that we serve in our stores are sustainably sourced and fairly traded with the farmers that grow, pick and process them. They are also single origin and speciality grade, which means that they do come at a slightly higher cost than the commodity coffees that your average chain brand may use, but they're also a higher quality product.
Our baristas are expertly trained in-house to ensure they maintain this top quality in every cup they make, and we know that we're working to minimise our impact on the environment and helping to bring recognition and fair pay to the all-important coffee growing communities that we purchase from. Although we appreciate that this may mean our Flat Whites may cost a little more than they would at a bigger brand / chain, we hope that our customers see the value in the higher quality, more sustainable, carefully made coffee that we're so proud of.
I really hope this helps to provide a little extra context and you'll come back to see us again soon, even just for a little treat! :)
Best service ever
