The vegan Lotus biscoff gelato was AMAZING -- we all had to get it after tasting it. The chocolate hazelnut was also good but I liked the chocolate sorbet better as a chocolate option. I'd come back here just for the biscoff gelato.

Jacob's Coffee House was our hungry stomach's savior recently. We had had a long afternoon, now…read moreworking into early evening, strolling around Bath, and by now it was getting dark and much cooler. We were hungry, but most places had already rolled up the welcome mat and were closed the day. The prospect of facing the 90 minute train back to London with empty stomachs was not appealing! Fortunately Jacob's was still open and serving, and although it was only 10 minutes till closing time, they kindly stirred us our hot paninis in their upstairs dining area. Upstairs a number of people were having coffee or dinner, some on their laptops, so we were not alone in having a leisurely meal even though it went past their official 7 PM time to close. Although the furnishings are coffee shop Spartan, everything was clean and comfortable. I had the ham and cheese panini, which was delicious; my wife had the vegetarian panini, with artichoke and goat cheese, which she really enjoyed. Both paninis were around 5 pounds, pretty reasonable. As a bonus, for a small amount they threw in a slice of passionfruit carrot cake, which topped the meal off nicely! Great place for a quick late meal in Bath before heading home!

You can certainly grab a slice of that (and a slice of cake) whilst whiling away the afternoon at Jacob's. We popped in for a brief stop off before indulging at the (new) Bath spa. Flat whites checked out, the array of cakes was plentiful and exciting, and the staff were lovely. It was a little hectic -- one can't really stand anywhere appropriate around the counter without getting in the way of a waitress, but it's no bother once you've paid and taken a seat. The carrot cake was more than worthy of a mention. It wasn't in the least bit dry, the icing was just plentiful enough, and it was stuffed with nuts and fruit. I even think it was crusted with shaved coconut. The pigeons will try their luck, but I welcome a little avian entertainment. They're really cute, friendly, and will help polish off the crumbs if you're inoffensive about it. You'll also have a great view of the cathedral if you sit outside. Gorgeous little spot.

Came here for lunch with a friend and had a really enjoyable experience…read more I had the sweet potato salad with couscous (and chips of course). The serving was super generous! And really well made as well. My friend has the super salad and we both had blueberry and ginger smoothies (recommended by the staff) and they were really delicious. We sat inside, you can sit outside which overlooks the square its on, and thought the place had a really night atmosphere. The staff were really nice and friendly, had a little conversation with the guy on the till when we were ordering which is always nice, and they come and check on your while your eating to make sure everything ok. A really nice place for lunch and breakfast!

THIS IS MY FEVER and my pit stop. All I ever order is their clotted cream vanilla ice cream with clotted cream dolloped on the top = equals perfection. Also once you get your ice cream, go and sit a while at the Abbey Square (it is right there) and people watch and take in the majestic view of the Bath Abbey. There is usually entertainment or music of sorts to enjoy at the same time. PURE HEAVEN

How does this cake-land not already have 100s of yelp reviews!?…read more My friend and I were looking for somewhere to stop for a glass of wine...but we were distracted by the amazing looking cakes in the window of this Thoughtful Bread Company. I didn't think we needed more cake, but my friend was SURE that we needed to try at least one of their tasty treats!! The main problem is, everything looks so good- how can you choose!? We asked the staff who told us their seven (!) favourites. The best options included a peanut butter and jelly éclair, passionfruit cheese cake, chocolate ganache heaven...I could go on... They have good cake options!! Why you should visit: - It is a cute little shop - Their cakes are gorgeous - The ladies behind the counter are *so* sweet! In the end, they even gave us recommendations for decent bars...so we ended up with cake AND wine. It was a good Saturday.

I cannot say enough good things about Ben's Cookies. They are simply the best biscuits I have ever…read moreeaten. Hot, gooey and sugary (without being sticky or greasy) they call in all flavours guaranteed to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth. The smiling staff have a range of flavours on offer from walnut, peanut, coconut, cranberry or good simple chocolate. They also serve a small but delicious range of coffee and breakfast teas making Ben's the perfect place to stop for Elevenses. Tucked away in Union Passage, you have a choice of eating inside or out, or taking them away in a red lunchbox baring a Quentin Blake cartoon. Personally, if it's good weather - sitting outside gives you a person spot to people watch whilst enjoying your tasty treat.

The cookies from…read morethis place are fantastically fresh, soft and delicious and there are loads of different flavours available, from double/triple chocolate to oatmeal and raisin (my favourite). The cost is worked out by weight, so there's no fixed price for individual cookies - it's not cheap, but I wouldn't say it's bad value, especially considering the quality of the biscuits. Ben's is a fantastic place to pick up a snack whilst out in town and I thoroughly recommend that you try one of his cookies at least once in your life time.

The bread was also soft and absorbed the rest of the flavors nicely. This also came with some greens on the side. I also tried the Peach Bliss Pancakes (£11.25)- the peach and apricot compote on top was good, while the almonds were a nice crunchy touch as well. However, I thought the yogurt on the pancakes seemed a bit weird. In my mind, I kept thinking it should be some kind of cream instead of yogurt. The place itself has a small cozy vibe. You walk down a few steps from the sidewalk and there is a small outdoor patio seating area before entering the restaurant. The interior has a bit of a cozy tavern kind of vibe with some cute decor. There were a couple tables still available for Saturday brunch. The staff are average friendliness although they could've been a bit more attentive. The service speed was okay. Overall, I think The Courtyard Cafe is a solid spot for brunch in Bath, close to the center of the city.
