Cafe Lucca

There can be a queue during lunch time, but not that long. Although not much variety in the menu, but all taste great. The cakes are on the sweeter side, but normal for the UK. It’s dog friendly, so a lot of dogs inside.

We stumbled upon this cafe for lunch and it did not disappoint!! Although the layout is strange (with fashion store in the same floor and tables scattered all around), they were accommodating big and small groups so that was nice. Our table was right next to where all the food was combing and felt very being on their way which could have been thought better. We got one of brioche melt and panini and they were both amazing!!! The coffee(capuchino) was quite weak and wish they showcased the coffee beans more. The staff was ok, I wouldn’t say anything special but would say they were more worried about the volume of people then making every guests feel welcomed. Having some more toilet for women could have been nicer as well since there was always a que.

Service is slow, they took a while to give us tap water and utensils, and it took a while to get their attention. But the food is good. I had the vegetarian panini (cheese, tomato, pesto) and pictured here are the chicken paninis too. It is not too hard to get seats.

If you are looking for a simple and delicious meal, this is the place. there are loads of cake choices, too. Highly recommend Coconut Chicken salad (slightly spicy) and carrot cake. It is located inside the shop, called The Loft. However, the service is not good that in our second visit, staff committed to come take order of cake after we finished our main/salad. and we waited for long, seeing her around and chatting with people and don't help us order. I gave up to order dessert. I am disappointed by their service.

This attractive coffeeshop is attached to the home decor shop Blue. There is inside and outside seating, all with table service. There is a good brunch menu. I enjoyed Belgian waffles with bacon, egg and maple syrup along with a black coffee - giving me a great start to a busy day wandering the streets of Bath. I hope to go there again.
