The space itself has a hipster casual vibe, which is definitely a scene I'm comfortable in. Lots of wood and dark colors and fun light fixtures, there's even a few tables outside (but good luck snagging those during even remotely nice weather!). It's a relaxed atmosphere that's great for groups of friends, breakfast dates, or solo travelers looking to hide in a corner and study. If you're a fan of a bloody mary, definitely be sure to get one here! Unfortunately, in my opinion, both the food and the service were tremendously disappointing. I'll start with the former: I ordered the Vegetarian Breakfast that comes with a fried egg, grilled halloumi, mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomato, spinach and hashbrowns. According to the menu, there's also unlimited toast and tea (or americano) when no substitutions, but neither of those options were apparently available to me. The food itself was plentiful, but unmemorable (and bland) compared to similar breakfasts I've had elsewhere. And the staff was, for lack of a kinder word, rude. Dismissive, too. It was actually the worst service I had during my entire trip, and it stinks when a place stands out for that, but that's what I'm gonna remember from SSBD.

They didn't offer the pretty ones as displayed in their window. And in the end, I'm glad that I didn't get the full dozen. The cupcakes were very plain and the frosting is also plain. To be quite honest, i was disappointed with the cupcakes which I got all excited about when i first saw them. I am giving it three stars because it is an OK tea room and seeing as I didn't have lunch there, it wouldn't be fair for me to give them less than 3 because their cupcakes aren't as good.

While walking the area around the famed Bath Abbey, we wanted to find a good, "Mom-n-Pop" restaurant nearby. Voila! Enjoying the perfect location was a quaint sign, beckoning us to visit the Hands of Bath. We both enjoyed a very filling and delicious lunch. I had the lasagna and jacket potato, my partner had a simple, but perfect cheese/ham sandwich on a baguette. Predictably, our dessert stomachs were empty, so we shared a "clotted cream tea", which is a traditional scone (hand-crafted by Carol, a 30-year employee), clotted cream (surprise), fruit jam and a wonderful pot of Russian Caravan tea. We tried to go back the next day for a late clotted cream tea, but they had just closed their doors for the day. Note: if the window is left open at closing time, don't lean in and ask the server a question, as she's quite jumpy - LOL! The owner, wait staff, food quality / appearance, cleanliness, etc. were far above our expectations. I always enjoy and treasure an unexpected pleasure when travelling and this place checks all the boxes. Do yourself a favor and visit the Hands Tea Room. You can thank me later! ;-)
