The Bath Bun
A traditional tea room on one of Bath's prettiest corners, under the great plane tree of Abbey Green. The thing to order is the Bath bun — the sweet, sugar-topped local speciality — with a pot of tea. Cream teas, light lunches, and a thoroughly tourist-friendly setting that earns it. Outdoor tables on the green in summer.

Good to know
Can you work from here?
This isn't a laptop café, and that's deliberate. The Bath Bun is set up for drinking coffee and talking rather than working, and there's no wifi to tempt you otherwise. If you need a few hours and a plug socket, Society Café or the Boston Tea Party sites are the better call — our coworking guide covers the options with opening hours.
When to go
It opens at 10:00, so it's a mid-morning stop rather than an early-breakfast one. It trades seven days a week, though weekend late mornings are the busiest stretch.
Finding it
