Best Coffee in Town

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.

Great food and service

The coffee was lovely and breakfast ( poached eggs, muffin and smoked salmon) was delicious. Staff were helpful and polite and it was overall a lovely experience. Would definitely eat here again.

Great Coffee

Fast delivery, great coffee. When you see and taste the coffee, you can tell they have a passion for what they do, and a desire to do it very well.

Best cafe in Northwich.

I travel over to my daughter in Northwich and we go to Bear regularly and we love it. My daughter and her partner adore this place. We have had breakfast and lunch here. Food is excellent..although I do think overpriced. Staff are excellent.

Bear is my go-to cafe each morning in Derby, after shopping or taking a long morning walk. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff are welcoming. There's always a cheerful hello... and a cheerio, when I leave - plus the coffee and cakes are pretty good too! Sometimes it is heaving with customers but the staff will always try and find me a spot to sit quietly.
