The Blue Bear

Came here with my daughter for a spot of brunch, who had been here several times with her friend and had recommended we go together. Luckily a table was available for us when we arrived at about 11.15. We were greeted by very welcoming staff. We had tea and eggs Benedict. I couldn't choose whether I wanted the meat or veg haggis on my eggs hector, but the lovely man serving offered me one of each which was great. My daughter got eggs royal. We finished off with a piece of carrot cake. Fantastic food, prompt, friendly service, highly recommend this wee gem of a place, will definitely be back!😀

Great cafe, very kind owners and staff, and catered to my Coeliac gluten free wife perfectly (and also the toddlers we had with us!). Delicious cakes and decent savoury breakfast/brunch options (we had blueberry slice, egg and bacon butty, scrambled eggs on toast, cheese toastie), all reasonably priced, and in a lovely setting. Would highly recommend

Visited for a week day brunch, quiet and easy to get a table. Attentive staff and welcoming to our two dog. Food was tasty and gluten free was accommodated. The French toast was very good but a big portion! A gender neutral toilet was nice to see. Overall a nice place and I liked the wall art but aspects of the decor felt a little tired.

Service from the staff was impecable! Food quality has room for improvement. They made a mistake with an order for a breakfast roll and as it was late in the day there were no more rolls so we had to order something more expensive (French toast). They charged us half the price of it which was so great from their part! This is excellent service. I ordered a bagel which was good overall but the bagel not very fresh.

Bright brunch location with a simple but tasty menu filled with favourites. The cafe is quite long on the inside, bright white walls with blue art and bench seating. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu consist of a build your own option around 2 eggs but also has the standard hollandaise etc. options as well great eggy bread dishes. The service was fast and the food was with us in minutes. Portions were of a good size and nicely presented. Price is in the £6-£8 region meaning it’s not a budget option but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. All in all it gives the air of a pretty standard brunch cafe that has upped its game by actually caring about quality and presentation. Would recommend!
