I took an advise for choosing two dishes from a staff and the taste of sandwiches was addictive. It was a very new taste for me but I liked it a lot, although I really regret eating the second dish (something like beans and porks)...The staffs are nice. highly recommend

We were looking for a local café to have a late breakfast / early lunch in, and a shop owner recommend this spot. I am so glad we went. The café is inviting and cozy and has a European café ambience. The space is small, but comfortable. This is a family-run restaurant, and was founded in 2002. I was curious about the unique name. They mentioned it was a popular saying in Asia that means while their ambience is a relaxed casual café, they are different in having a passion for creating quality food experiences. Everything on the menu is made from scratch in their kitchen. They use only locally sourced ingredients, which means the menu is seasonal and changes often. I loved that they had a breakfast and brunch menu that went until 4pm on the weekend! My friend ordered a burger with chips and I chose a breakfast sandwich - similar to an eggs benedict. The food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and was full of flavor. The chips were of course heaven. I couldn't resist I took some from my friends plate! They had a great selection of local ciders, so I tried one. It was very good. Also, their coffee was very good. Don't miss that! In the evenings you can enjoy dinner here. They have a wine list, and offer a tapas focused menu. I hope to return to Bath and experience their dinner here.

Very cute

Very cute atmosphere I had Eggs Picante which were excellent. I'm originally from Louisiana and loved the Tabasco addiction to this dish. It's cute, accessible and centrally located and had a local vibe! I'd come back here regularly for breakfast if I lived here.

Short ribs with cole slaw

Service is friendly and the atmosphere peaceful. Stopped in for dinner after a long day of traveling! Was very happy with my experience! I love that they offer so many tapas I was able to try a little bit of a few of their dishes! They also serve a few desserts that looked tempting, however I was too full from my meal. They also offer breakfast and lunch menus. May have to visit again while in Bath!

Tea and cappuccino :-)

What a find! This little cafe has great tapas -- we ordered a very creative and well executed chicken wings w/ pesto and garlic and chips with a spicy sauce. Then we each had sandwiches -- chicken, Mediterranean veggies, and egg sandwiches. Each was creative, original, and off the charts yummy and featured homemade sauces. We washed it down with homemade sangria and followed our lunch with tea, cappuccino, and homemade marble cake w/ chocolate sauce drizzled on top. Everything was so delicious that talk of the food dominated our lunchtime conversation. Our server was attentive and timely. The owner shared his sangria recipe with us -- we can't wait to make it for friends at home in the US. Five stars because we'd absolutely return and we'd recommend this little cafe and all its warmth and ambience and yummy everything to our friends and fellow Yelpers.

Ox Tail with chorizo over mashed potatoes.

Went for dinner - so amazing! It is small, kind of tucked away but well worth it. The staff are very attentive and the food is so yummy! Try the Ox Tail - it is unique but very tasty. My friend had the portabello burger and she said it was amazing!

Sarah G.

Amazing food!! I had the beef burger with the fries. My friend had the halloumi mushroom burger. Both were so fantastic! Great service and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

See all

Wild Cafe is a must for breakfast in Bath! Someone in our group recommended we come here and it…read moredidn't disappoint! We arrived in the morning on a quiet weekend. The cafe is a hole in the wall with communal seating and a few other tables inside and some outside. It's a bit packed inside but still quite charming with all the mismatched colorful decor. The service was sweet and efficient. Once seated, we were provided the menus and had our orders taken. The food came out fast and we paid at the front. I don't normally eat breakfast and got the Granola. It was fine--your typical yogurt, granola, and berries. It was tart, crunchy, and sweet--they provide a side of honey. I had half and gave the rest away because I wasn't hungry. Also ordered were the Bubble and Squeak and Fruit Pancakes. Oh my gosh, I had multiple bites of the Bubble and Squeak because it was so good! If I were hungrier I'd order this for myself. It's a delicious harmony of savory filling goodness. Loved the mashed potatoes and all the proteins. Highly recommend! Wild Cafe is an affordably delicious spot for all-day breakfast and brunch. Found on a corner in Bath off Queen Street, it's a must for yummy food!

The portions are large and the food is crazy. Good. We went in there and ordered nice big plates of food and wound up sharing them with each other because everybody got something different. I was so pleased that while I was eating off of someone else's plate that they were enjoying the food off of mine at the same time. Plan ahead for when you're gonna get there. I recommend that one hour to 30 minutes before they close get your order in and that's a sure far away to get you to the head of the line at the end of the day.

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!

Being from nearby, I've a real soft spot for the south…read morewest, and cities like Bath remind me how gorgeous it is around there: the cotswold stone, the lush green hills, the old architecture. 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.

Mokoko is a cute little restaurant in the Bath town square near the Abbey. They serve sandwiches,…read moresalads, quiche and many other brunch/lunch items. They also serve coffee and make specialty drinks, juices and smoothies. I stopped in to get a smoothie to have while walking around town. They had a few different flavor combinations but I decided to go with the berry smoothie. The kind gentleman at the counter took my order and I looked around while I waited. They had many foods sitting out on the side, it looked like you could choose a main and some sides yourself for a specified price. The food all looked very good. The smoothie was fine, unfortunately it wasn't cold which was the thing I wanted most. This may just be a thing in Europe but for me, I like a cold smoothie. They have several tables outside to sit and enjoy your food. There is also seating on the second floor of the eatery. The wait was a little long, about 10 minutes for two smoothies. There was no other food or drinks that came out of the kitchen so I am not quite sure why it took that long. Wasn't a terrible wait, but there was nowhere to sit while waiting.
