Charming discovery on the edge of Bath. Efficient set up ordering coffee thru the barge window. Likely a fave with locals, dog walkers, cyclists, runners et al. Very efficient & freindly service. Been going for 14 years - well done! Nice coffee 👍🏻
A fun place to stop for a refreshment or light meal when out for a walk or bike ride along the canal in Bathampton. Picnic tables are a great place to meet people who come from all over to enjoy the canal.
Take a walk, or cycle, along the Kennett & Avon canal from Bath and when you reach Bathampton you can reward yourself with something from the Cafe on the Barge. A great selection of drinks, hot & cold, lovely cakes, or ice cream - vegan options included. Definitely worth the walk/cycle.
Perfect sized delicious cakes! They have benches and space along the towpath for seating and sell all-sorts from iced coffee and diet coke to lattes, cakes and Marshfield ice-cream. There is on street parking next to the local primary school and some wonderful walks along the towpath either into Bath or towards Dundas aquaduct.
(P.s. my other half ate all but a bite of the cake before I could get a photo - they're definitely bigger than that!)
Pleasant enough. Only seating is outside and only 3 tables. Plenty of room on the grassy towpath though, with some public seating. Not always open.
Great cuppa and superb carrot cake. Perfect location for walkers runners and cyclists coming along the canal
What a lovely cafe! Delicious ice teas and the lemon drizzle is to die for! Looking forward to my next visit already! 🤩
Loved it! Found this cosy gem by chance. Very local vibe and lovely coffee. Staff are super lovely and chatty. Will be heading back every week as there are great walks nearby. It is a small place so seats inside are limited but you can sit on the benches outside or on the exterior of the boat. Grab a blanket and relax.
A beautiful cafe, so colourful and welcoming.
The proprietor is polite, friendly and knowledgeable.
The drinks are well made and served without delay.
The food on offer is varied, fresh and delicious.
A real gem of the waterways.
Love it.
A lovely coffee and we had three very tasty cakes (millionaire's shortbread, ginger cake and flapjack). Highly recommended.
