Visited here for a coffee and some breakfast. Been here a couple of times one being a late night drink as the cafe does turn into a bar at night. I had the Full House Breakfast with a Salted caramel latte whilst my partner had Bacon Maple Pancakes. Really enjoyed mine but did have some little negatives to it, one being that the sausages were more of a chipolata feel to them and you would expect ‘butcher’ sausages to be quite large and filling etc and the final critique was that the breakfast was served in a bowl, which looks great but practicality wise I had to move stuff out the way whilst eating the food, a plate would of been much better! Other than that really enjoyed our visit!

Pre-booked for bday brekkie asked for cake to come out at the end but it didn't. For me the service was lacking, 15min wait after asking for bill eventually went to counter to pay. Food was good and tasty.

Cocktails were excellent. Service was fine. Food was overall quite good but the portions lacking for the price. The platter at £60 does not feed more than two people despite saying 2-4 sharing. We asked if there would be enough for us but the lady serving didn’t know how big the platter was or ask anyone else. Three sides ordered to make sure there was enough for five adults. Ordered Pulled beef and later told it wasn’t available, the Mac and a cheese was dry and, loaded fries should be loaded. Not just a sprinkle of bacon. Deserts were also unavailable, only ice cream available in November? £130 to feed five adults shouldn’t require us to find more food elsewhere afterwards.We previously enjoyed brunch and breakfast here and, the coffee is excellent. I just don’t think they are set up for dinner service. When comparing prices around the city, there are better options available for 17:30 dinner on Saturday.

We booked for a party of 10 but were given seating for 9 and told we would have to squash up on the sofa at our table. There was a suggestion of an extra table but that never appeared, we had to get an extra chair ourselves to give more room. We pre ordered our food, fair enough as we were a big party. We waited quite a while for a good, we could see it on the pass where it sat for ages before being delivered to our table, due to this some of the dishes were not very warm. I had the vegetarian breakfast and the hash browns were over cooked and quite greasy, maybe the oil needed changing, I don’t know.

First time visiting this branch. We arrived at 4 to enjoy the Later at Bear" menu. When booking I said we were going with my parents

It has good vegetarian options. I feel that they should avoid using ketchup with their fritter. This makes the dish too sweet. Chips were cold and I could see it was on the counter for about 10 minutes to be picked up by the waiter.

Seems they've changed to food menu again in a minor kind of way. The beef tacos doesn't taste as good as the previous form, the sauce they used to use was a lot better and sweet (sticky, but nothing that a disposable wipe couldn't handle). Feel like the slaw is not as rich as the previous slaw either. They're still ok, but prefer the old approach. Same for the London Fog, used to like that but they get rid a while back. They should also probably ask each order if there are any allergies especially if the menu is changing in subtle ways.

Absolutely brilliant place. Dropped in on Saturday early evening for my daughter's 21st, we didn't have a booking as we'd planned to go elsewhere which was too busy but this wasn't an issue.We had a lovely evening, and the atmosphere was perfect. It wasn't too loud music wise, we could have a conversation as well as enjoy our night out.We didn't eat, although my friend did have cake, but the cocktails were amazing! So good we had to order more.The staff were brilliant, even sent us complimentary cocktails. Our party of 5 was extremely impressed and we will definitely be back for more! Even my younger daughter felt welcomed and comfortable as she struggles with loud and busy places.Would recommend 100%

Great location, excellent service and nice ambience. Menu is extensive and plentiful. Best coffee in Derby and the price are pretty reasonable. One issue they do have they could improve is the front of house as the 3 occasions we went in we found them very abrupt and unhelpful. Once in and seated, it's highly recommended, especially for the breakfast options.

We were looking for a nice coffee shop for breakfast while working. We ended up with Bear around the cathedral quarter. It was the good option that we were happy about it at the end.Reasonably priced coffee, breakfast and snacks, staff were friendly and the service time was good. Tastes were good, liked Lattes and pouched eggs.Also, the internet speed was great, didn’t have any problems.Nice interior design and clean toilets.
