BEAR - Iron Gate, Derby

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.

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!

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.
