If you need a coffee in Bath this is the place to go. Not the cheapest but most likely the best. The guys here really do know what they are doing and produce some of the best coffee from an ever changing selection of beans which you can choose from for your brew. However please leave the sugar on the... More

Nice coffee and a pretty little patio garden at the back. However ordering is too long-winded. It also comes across as fairly condescending when they ask if you want a lesson in how it's made while they are doing it. No I just want a coffee..simples!

It was my second time at Colonna and Small's, though this time we visited for a filter coffee training session with Max as a gift for my husband's birthday. The guy is SO passionate about good coffee, and a fantastic tutor - we learnt so much and my husband had a fantastic birthday treat! I highly recommend this as a... More

This is a great place. I'd go as far as to say that in this day and age of fast food and cheap restaurants, this is a place that anyone who appreciates people who do one thing extremely well should truly treasure. Also, not only is their coffee excellent, their baked goods are surprisingly good as well!

I'm a local and had drive past this fabulous coffee place every day so finally decided to go in with my mum after reading all the reviews. All I can say is wow! I'm not really a coffee drinker but the helpful chaps behind the counter helped me make my choice and explained the different types of coffee. Will definitely... More

Must agree with everything written by DanD in a previous report. Lovely airy room, nicely decorated. Lots of the more discerning locals and coffee lovcers frequent the place and as a result there can be a nice Bohemian feel to the atmosphere when it is more than half full. There is a small garden area available in the warmer months.... More

Excellent flavours and completely different to the usual fare... More

My wife & I have lived around the world & have become real coffee addicts - for GOOD coffee! Out of all those places (Sydney, San Francisco, Stockholm, BsAs etc) we think this Is the best & most enjoyable. We could get seriously addicted to this place where the cortados, proper flat whites and espressos are all equally terrific. Even... More
