Cute spot to sit out and people watch when Bath is sunny and warm! The sausage roll and banana & chocolate loaf were nothing special, but got the job done to provide me energy for the day. The chai was decent. Service was quite fast.

Lovely cafe! We visited around midday when it was quite busy, so we grabbed a seat first before ordering. The white-chocolate hot chocolate and Victoria sponge cake were delicious.

Lovely café with kind and friendly staff! The coffee is great, and their cakes are absolutely delicious. It’s a perfect place to spend time—especially outside when the weather’s good. I ended up coming here almost every day during my week in Bath. Comfortable, welcoming, and a great spot to relax, read, or people-watch. Definitely one of my favorite places in the city.

Popped in early on a rainy morning, so it was quiet. Lovely decor and gentle lighting create a nice atmosphere along with nice music. Lovely Flat White brought to the table after ordering. Was pleased to see laptops were not permitted in certain areas, which is an excellent idea. After all, it's a coffee shop . Nice selection of cakes. However, I was good and refrained.

Bath has a great coffee scene but Society is always my go to ❤️ Had such a lovely coffee today that I feel compelled to leave a 5-star review ☺️

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)

Best coffee in Bath, and the service is top tier as well. Super friendly and cozy interior with great outdoor seating on the square as well. I do think it would help the servers if a table number system was implemented (like little stands), but honestly they do amazing despite what I expect is an inconvenience to them.

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.

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 While some of my favourite places are long gone (Popjoys has been replaced by an Italian restaurant that thinks it's cool to project the colours of the Italian flag on Beau Nash's old haunt...sob!)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!

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.

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
