Society Café

Hot drinks approximately £3 (Jan 2022), lovely cakes £3.50 (Jan 2022). The staff were not very willing to engage in friendly chat. Cash not accepted which I find unacceptable (my bank card didn't work). Delicious carrot cake.

Settings in a beautiful square enjoy sitting outside & feeling amazing as you drink an amazing cup of coffee ! Staff are cool ! All the extras you can buy with coffee are cool ! When in bath visit & watch time go by !

The baristas are all super friendly, the cafe is dog-friendly, and the coffee and leaf tea are yummy! They also produce their own little coffee-focused newspaper which is entertaining to read and there is even a crossword at the end.

Lovely staff, very friendly and offer helpful advice on what to choose. Good with allergies. Banana and chocolate tray bake is absolutely delicious 😋 the peanut butter brownie is also very nice. The coffee has a bold taste, good to wake you up in the morning. Definitely would return when next in Bath.

Lovely coffee spot in a very lovely city. Worth trying😍

I've been visiting the Society Cafe on and off for the last ten years, and have always enjoyed it's continental vibe. Ideally located on Kingsmead Square, with ample outside seating, this is a very smart place for an expertly made cup of coffee. Their selection of cakes and pastries are top notch, and I'm always trying something new each time I visit.

Too many positives about this cafe but I MUST start with amazing staff! They are very friendly, and passionate about what they do, especially the barista with specs has been very helpful to me! Great interior design, guaranteed to increase productivity, and to be honest, whatever beans they have on supply, I am %100 sure I will enjoy my cup of coffee. Last but not least, I am the kind of person that values heritage, and this cafe has become a cult, even spreading to 2 more cities, and creating their own magazine. To add some sprinkles; toilets were very clean, too!

Elliott said I was 'reading like a thespian' and that was a delightful way to start my day. Also the hot chocolate is lovely and the customer service is generally very good. Leaving this review in lieu of a tip because I had no cash on me xx

Popular coffee shop in Bath. Very trendy. Definitely hipster heaven. The food was good. Their hot chocolate was amazing. The staff welcomes you with a friendly smile and drinks are brought to one's table.

Delicious coffee and great vibes indoors and outdoors. They let you taste their daily coffee which is always fun. They have multiple plant-based milks to offer (oat, soy, almond)

A Long weekend of nostalgia took me back to Bath for a wander and epic game of "What's Changed". While some of my favourite places are long gone (Popjoys has been replaced by an Italian restaurant that thinks it's cool to project the colours of the Italian flag on Beau Nash's old haunt...sob!) the coffee revolution is alive and well. Society Cafe is one of the best local examples in my opinion, serving great, rich, well-made coffee along with obligatory Shoreditch-esque interior of exposed floor boards and rough wood benches and stools. The guys who served us were knowledgeable, friendly and even treated us like old friends when we returned twice in the same day (the free WiFi allowed us to continue to irritate friends and family with oodles of snaps). It's clearly also a favourite with the local student population who used the notice boards in the basement lounge area to share flyers for everything from gigs to the next big matches. In short - a great place to catch up. I'll be back.

I used to buy coffee at Society Cafe when it first opened and was a fan of its layout, its meeting spaces and its overall vibe. I also liked the friendly owner, who was often on-hand to make sure everything was tip-top. I stopped drinking at Society because it became 'ordinary', and by that I mean similar to other coffee shops: massive cups, strong coffee, poor milk foam and much too hot to have been prepared properly. But I like to revisit places to see what's changed, and in Society, it appears only the faces of the people who work here are different. It still has a nice, relaxed vibe, especially in the morning, and the place still looks nice. However, despite being able to choose a cup size (8oz instead of 10oz), my cappuccino was still a roaring hot flat white, and I was still charged £2.60 for the smaller cup. I'll try again in another year!

Great coffee and atmosphere! Inside and outside seating. Lovely place to have something warm to drink and a treat!

The Society Cafe, Kingsmead Square Bath is another one of the delightful cafe's in Bath. Good quality coffee with a good vibe. As we sat at a comfortable table outside, watching the crowd pass bye, enjoying our well made coffee, very relaxing and satisfying. The service was efficient and friendly. Easy to understand why this cafe consistently has a good rating. Very handy to the pump House, the Abbey, and the shops. Good place to meet up and enjoy.

Cool, clean, crisp coffee shop with great service and a nice selection of coffees and teas. Baked yummies are great. Good location and perfect wifi.

What a find! Stumbling 'round Bath on Sunday, desperate for some refreshment (it was a Sunday in December; Bath was packed and long queues everywhere). So I thought we'd try leaving the main drag to see what was there. And to be honest, it's about 50 yards from the throngs in the shopping area, but 50 yards too far for most people to bother looking. But I'd walk a lot further than 50 yards to visit this place. I can honestly say, this is the best coffee I have tasted. Bit of a back story here, if you're read any of my other reviews, you may have picked up on the fact that my Wife is lactose and gluten intolerant, so eating out can (and usually is) be a bit of a problem. Well, brownie points right from the start, not only did they have a cake she could eat, they had more than 1! A choice!! That is very rare. The staff were excellent, they knew about the coffee and cakes they were serving and were very friendly. As I've said the coffee was fantastic and the cakes were really luscious. I can eat anything and everything, so I had the Coffee and Walnut cake. Excellent. I don't get to Bath that often, but I'm going to make a Beelline for this place next time I go. Go there. You won't be disappointed.

I found this cafe around the corner from my hotel. Very good coffee, with pastries, juice, etc. Tables outside on Kingsmead Square.

First stop off the train was this rather large cafe. They offered free wifi and a cheap cup of coffee and that's exactly what I needed. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I liked it so much I came back for seconds the next day. As for the large part, this cafe is separated into three rooms on the main floor with the basement divided into two rooms. There's also outdoor seating in the square.

HOT CHOCOLATE OHMYGOODNESS!!! I came here just for the hot chocolate recommendation and I was in no way disappointed! The atmosphere is cute and snuggly (maybe a bit too snuggly at peak times!) and the staff are really nice too. Can't wait to try a coffee, all the hot chocolates are great though. The white chocolate and vanilla one is heaven in a cup but definitely on the sweet side. If you've not got much of a sweet tooth, go for the Willie's cocoa (yes I giggled) made with 75% (or around that) chocolate. Mmmmm! All in all love love LOVE!

Having regular hot chocolate there for last 3 years. Today it was water and milk, absolutely awful drink. Guys there are very friendly , always but with this quality of drink I think they will loose locals like me.

I reached out to this cafe to ask if they delivered cakes. They don't but they were so kind to write me back. I'm sure they have great service. Give them a try!

This is a small shop that makes wonderful coffees and offers a variety of fresh cakes and croissants. It has tables both in and outside and the staff is very welcoming. It also opens early making it easy to grab a great coffee prior to starting your day.

This place is great! It is as good as any coffee I've had in the UK. Definitely the best in Bath. Great vibe and friendly staff. Recommend!

Excellent coffee and chocolate. Friendly staff and cool vibe. Highly recommended! 2 locations in Bath, both equally as good.

Sorry but my soy flat White was just ok. Drinkable but not great. It was a good temperature though. My partners date slice thing was apparently delicious. It also has a very nice vibe- and free wifi
