What a nice place. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere and last but not least the coffee is fantastic. Try their cakes as well because they are heavenly. We were on a short two day holiday to Bath and this was our go to coffee shop. It’s very close to the abbey but just a little bit away from the main streets. If you are a real coffee lover than look no further.
I came to Bath recently, for the first time, on a mini little break before starting at the University part time. I did my research before travelling, and decided to go here to grab a hot chocolate after reading the good reviews! I popped by on a Monday morning before 9am. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop and was warmly greeted by the staff, who were friendly and helpful in aiding me in deciding whether to have an alternative milk or not/how each may affect the experience etc. I went for the dark hot chocolate (note: they only do dark and white hot chocolates) with oat milk. You can see them use proper chocolate to make this - none of that powder stuff! I wondered about my morning with hot chocolate in hand and took a sip, with the beverage being the perfect temperature for drinking almost instantly. This was truly decadent and rich in cocoa from the dark chocolate. It was thick enough to be luxurious, but not too thick making it heavy/feeling you were drinking a milkshake! I would say that this was definitely a dark hot chocolate, and while I enjoyed the slight bitterness, I feel those wanting a super sweet hot chocolate may not be as satisfied with this (perhaps preferring the white hot chocolate on offer here). I would definitely return to and recommend others visit The Columbian Company for their morning beverage, I'd also love to give some of their baked goods a go which looked great!
Great quality coffee in a nice corner of Bath's city centre. The interior is small, but they have tables outside. It can get very busy, but staff is kind.
