It has good vegetarian options. I feel that they should avoid using ketchup with their fritter. This makes the dish too sweet. Chips were cold and I could see it was on the counter for about 10 minutes to be picked up by the waiter.
Visited here for a coffee and some breakfast. Been here a couple of times one being a late night drink as the cafe does turn into a bar at night. I had the Full House Breakfast with a Salted caramel latte whilst my partner had Bacon Maple Pancakes. Really enjoyed mine but did have some little negatives to it, one being that the sausages were more of a chipolata feel to them and you would expect ‘butcher’ sausages to be quite large and filling etc and the final critique was that the breakfast was served in a bowl, which looks great but practicality wise I had to move stuff out the way whilst eating the food, a plate would of been much better! Other than that really enjoyed our visit!
We were looking for a nice coffee shop for breakfast while working. We ended up with Bear around the cathedral quarter. It was the good option that we were happy about it at the end.
Reasonably priced coffee, breakfast and snacks, staff were friendly and the service time was good. Tastes were good, liked Lattes and pouched eggs.
Also, the internet speed was great, didn’t have any problems.
Nice interior design and clean toilets.
Great location, excellent service and nice ambience. Menu is extensive and plentiful. Best coffee in Derby and the price are pretty reasonable. One issue they do have they could improve is the front of house as the 3 occasions we went in we found them very abrupt and unhelpful. Once in and seated, it's highly recommended, especially for the breakfast options.
Lovely place- relaxed with a nice buzz about the place. Good coffee. Great veggie breakfast- perfect poached eggs!
The food was amazing
I wish they had a different bread though
They only have sourdough bread
Tasty food & friendly staff! Dan was especially fab & really helpful! The place itself is really chilled with a great vibe. Thank you for a great visit & I’ll definitely be back ☺️
First time visiting this branch. We arrived at 4 to enjoy the "Later at Bear" menu. When booking I said we were going with my parents, the table we had reserved was on bar stools and right next to a speaker, we asked to move which was no problem for them and even though we were a bit away from the speaker it was just too loud. We were all shouting to each other over the table which wasn't enjoyable, two of us felt headaches coming on afterwards, it just ruined it a bit.
I think it's fine to have music on but the volume it was should be 7 onwards perhaps, not even clubs are open when we were out, so yes it wasn't the relaxing experience we expected.
It took around half an hour for someone to come to our table to take food order, everything arrived correctly as we had finished eating by 5.15 so quite fast service and it was hot.
Food was very nice so would return for that if the volume was down. A few vegetarian options which was great, highly recommend the Halloumi burger (Hallouminati)
Toilets were ok, no hot water in women's though.
I imagine this place is very nice for breakfast and to work on a laptop so will try it again at a different time of day.
We have just come home after having a family birthday brunch and absolutely loved it! The food and drinks were great but what really made it was the exceptional customer service! Our waitress was great, really friendly, polite and attentive; nothing was too much to ask despite intolerances, crying baby etc and she really looked after us. The real asset is the manager - what a great guy! He even offered to feed my baby whilst I ate my hot meal and spent time with the family, I was genuinely in shock!! Thank you 🙏🏼 You guys are legends so keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll be back!
BEAR is the best cafe I’ve come across in the region.
The coffees are always expertly prepared and responsibly sourced, the V60 and Brew Board coming with a card describing the origin of the coffee beans used.
The food options are creative and consistently delicious.
All of that served in a stylish interior and comfortable atmosphere.
