Cafe Au Lait

Went for breakfast on a Sunday to prep ourselves for the journey home. Lovely food, generous portions, not too expensive, nice vibe inside and quick service. Would go again!

Visited cafe au lait with my 6 good friends for a farewell brunch after a delightful weekend in Bath. After a short wait we were shown to our table. Unfortunately, this is where it all went down hill. We ordered our drinks from a waitress who was rude, rolling her eyes when asked any questions and we felt very rushed to make our order. The food itself was fine. It looked better than it tasted. No one asked how our food was and plates taken from us the second we had put down our cutlery. When clearing the table another waiter gestured rudely to my friend for her to pass her plate which was embarassing. We then went up one by one to pay our bill. As the last person came to pay there was an extra veggie breakfast and a vanilla latte outstanding. We double checked that everyone in our party had paid. No one had even ordered a vanilla latte. The waitress became very snappy and argumentative with us saying we just had to pay it and there’s a vanilla latte on the bill therefore we must have ordered one. Her attitude was horrible and we explained that we had not ordered a latte and she had just taken 6 payments one by one and we would not be paying for an extra breakfast. She then rolled her eyes again, and said I’ll void it then and stormed off in anger. Overall, a sad end to our trip. Will not be back and will not be recommending this place. Clearly a victim of instagrammable inedible food. Staff could clearly do with some lessons on good manors and how to count.

A regular spot of mine throughout university and simply one of the best brunch spots in Bath (and probably the country! . The staff are friendly, the coffee is fantastic, food is always top notch (especially the pancakes and I will continue to go there whenever I'm in Bath!

I visited as I was in Bath for a couple of days and after seeing good reviews for this place on online I thought I’d give it a go. I ordered the avocado and asked if the salsa had coriander and explained that I’m one of those people where it tastes like soap. The waitress said yes but that they could do fresh tomatoes instead which was great. When my food arrived it turns out the avocado had coriander in it too. I had no check back, so when my plate got cleared (after about 15 minutes of me finishing) I asked a different waitress if there was coriander in it and she said yes, so I explained about the tomatoes and all I got was a sorry. Same thing happened with the bill, all I got was a sorry and didn’t get offered any discount (not even a coffee of the bill) even though half the dish was inedible to me. I work in hospitality and I know mistakes happen but it’s how you fix them that matters and nothing was put right about this one.

They allow dogs which is fantastic! Great breakfast, excellent service. Second time here. We really enjoyed our breakfast. Thank you.
