We came to Brew & Bake for brunch on a sunny Sunday morning, all the windows were open and it was just lovely. It was full but not over crowded as they had removed the chairs from the middle table. There was a short wait for the table which was thoroughly sanitised before we sat down. The menu had lots of great breakfast options including a full English, eggs benedict with salmon and my choice: bacon, avocado and poached eggs on sourdough toast, with a side order of halloumi. They were quite busy, we had some coffees which came out first and were finished just before the food came out. Everything was cooked really well - nice gooey eggs! Very flavoursome and an ample amount. The bacon was cooked perfectly too - all plates went back clean. The staff were very friendly, checking if we were ok, needed water or sauces. Everywhere was very clean and comfy. I'd recommend and certainly go back.

Amazing bacon breakfast muffins - very cute and cosy inside with some very hardworking staff. Saturday morning rush and we were served quickly with great quality food and drinks, even with foam art! Highly recommended

Really good independent coffee shop. Always a pleasure to have a coffee and grab a bite to eat. There are big folding windows at the front making it perfect on a summers day. Service is always fantastic with very friendly staff and the coffee / food is top notch.

Had a lovely hot chocolate and cake here. Lovely service too. On the pricey-er side but worth it

This is a great little cafe. The coffee is excellent and carefully crafted. The food is excellent. Seating availability can be tricky at lunchtime.

Cosy and original. This little place has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and a delectable selection of tasty baked treats to go with your coffee. Came here for a lazy Sunday afternoon coffee and chat with a friend. We each had an iced coffee, though I opted for the decaf mocha version - a nice little cocoa twist on the regular - 35p extra for decaf or almond milk (and other extras or alternatives I wasn't paying too much attention to). Tasted great and the serving size was decent with not too much ice. We also each had a millionaire shortbread - it was so decadent and perfectly made. The chocolate topping was solid but not too hard to break easily enough with a fork, the same goes for the shortbread - baked to perfection. And the lovely gooey caramel in the middle was also just right. There are a number of little tables inside with wooden and metal framed chairs, but also a cushioned bench along the one wall, there's also seating at a counter along the window for solo diners. The restaurant is a little below street level, but a ramp from the entrance looks like it could be wheelchair friendly.

Very cute little cafe with attentive and passionate staff and delicious sweet treats. A plus is the bi-foldable shop window which allows for an extra special atmosphere on the warmer days!

This is a lovely little hipster place with very friendly staff, generous food probs at reasonable prices. The menu is not huge, but both dishes we had were worth the restricted choice.
