Probably the best coffee in Bath? Very busy at the weekends but worth the wait. The staff are incredibly knowledgable and are clearly passionate about every microscopic detail that goes into making a coffee. You can also purchase beans to take away if you wish.

High quality of coffee! We have pour over and latte with washed beans blend! The coffee is so bright and clean, and really rich in flavour as well! This place is so buzzing in weekend!

I don't know much about coffee but my cousin, who is a bit of a coffee connoisseur, recommended the place. There were a variety of different coffees to chose from, many with names I had never seen nor heard before. The coffees arrived in a beaker jug and a bowl-like mug but alas, what is this? There was no milk to be seen, I dare not ask as I feared the disapproving look from my cousin. I decide to enjoy it as it was given (with no milk) and it tasted pretty darn good. All in all, whether you're a cool coffee-loving hipster or just a regular Joe, you will enjoy a visit to this coffee shop.

Glad I found this place in the recommended coffee shops in Bath. Good sized with a minimalist and clean decor which I loved. The wooden benches and tables and subtle wall colours provide a good backdrop to the colourful products on shelves and the posters. There is a small area up in the front with bookshelves and benches against them which is inviting for people looking for a quiet space to read and/or work. The staff are wonderful - cheerful, helpful and friendly. Since they procure, process and make their coffee from scratch with flavours varying, I needed some help understanding and then making a selection. When we visited, I chose the Mozambique variant after getting a good explanation from the staff member. The coffee was good and the much talked about carrot cake didn't disappoint at all! It was moist, perfect sweetness with excellent frosting and went down well with the coffee. They have a small outdoor seating space which might be a nice spot in summers. It will definitely be in my list of places to visit for coffee/cake when in Bath.

My review is for the espresso and filter coffee. I also purchased some beans after tasting the quality of the drinks. I think “Best Coffee in Bath” kinda undersells how good this place is. I’ve chased my hobby around the world and sought out specialty cafes, and this place is one of the best I’ve tried in recent memory. When you become consumed by the rabbit-hole of making coffee at home, you can often leave cafes thinking “no one cares about my cup being good as much as I do”, but I’m happy to have been proved wrong in this case. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and answered all my curiosity in an unpretentious and helpful manner. Firstly the filter coffee, I ordered a Gesha on the basis of having read many good things about this place. I was not disappointed! The florality was really present and the tea like quality of the coffee was balanced by the excellent body - which is a trademark of this coffee. When you pay what you pay for a drink like this it’s really nice to experience it prepared correctly. It’s also important to note that they care about the water here, with their own RO system and re-mineralization recipe. So you can rest assured the best will be brought out of the coffee. The espresso was a natural Ethiopian. Something that’s pretty hard to extract well and generally leaves me underwhelmed when I order it. This was an exception, it was sweet and rich - it was really delicious. Overall I couldn’t recommend Colonna more! I also picked up a pretty rare coffee to try which I’m pretty excited by.

In fair disclosure, I met the owner at a chocolate festival and so we came to check out his shop. It is not in the hustle and bustle of Bath, but just off Queen Square so it is easy to walk to and a bit of a refuge from the touristy, Bridgerton fan, Christmas market chaos. My husband loved his coffee. The staff were wonderful. The carpet cake is apparently made by a local and I loved it. It looks like chemistry kits in the table after they make some of their special coffees that I do not understand. The owner is a barista champion. Fun place and not overloaded with tourists. It is a local spot. Friendly, happy.

A class act. Knowledgeable staff and tender care have been given in not just the preparation of our drink but everything else from farm to cup - cultivation, selection (some unique beans available) production, and procurement. Responsible and sustainable best practice seems to be applied here, which made my cup of Ethiopian Gesha ever more delightful. Worth a visit for a cup or three for a coffee enthusiast.

Great filter coffee, they give you several options of coffee to choose from depending on what flavour profile you prefer for both filter and espresso. If you are unsure don't hesitate to ask the friendly staff who will be more than happy to guide you through it. They use high quality coffee beans and filtered water which is very important to get the best coffee. Highly recommend this place if you are in Bath and you like your coffee.

Nice coffee shop specializing in unique coffees. These people know what they’re doing when it comes to coffee. They can prepare drinks in a variety of ways and tell you good information about the beans you are having. Staff is friendly and professional. The space is inviting for anyone doing work, reading, or just looking for a calm place and good coffee. The tables outside in the back are a nice touch on good weather days.

Very serious coffee shop, serving excellent coffee, probably the best coffee shop in Bath. They serve the coffee using various methods, French press, aeropress, syphon, drip, maybe others. They sell beans, pods, some apparel, bonds etc. It's very clean inside, lots of seating, and some outside seating also. The staff are friendly, you shouldn't need to wait long to have your coffee served. Highly recommended and worth the detour from the busy city centre.

Yummy coffee. Recommended the type of bean to suit our individual tastes- although both my and my husband’s coffees tasted pretty much the same, despite being different beans and flavour profiles. The place is cute, and has a lovely vibe. Definitely don’t recommend the pastries though- ours tasted old and stale, and left us really disappointed!!

If you are into good coffee, this place should be on your list when you visit Bath. An excellent coffee shop from an award winning owner, that does specialty coffee. They offer a good variety of single origin coffee and the selection changes regularly to match the season. The staff here are knowledgeable and happy to help you choose the best coffee according to your taste.

Found this coffee shop randomly after a short walk from Charlotte Street car park. So glad we stopped here, the coffee was incredible and very well presented and such friendly staff. Very nice atmosphere. Highly recommended thank you.

Just love Colonna coffee roasters, so nice to be able to visit coffee shop that serves this coffee. Atmosphere is great and coffee was fantastic as always!

Lovely Coffee House on a quiet street with a calm and relaxing atmosphere 😎 The coffee is excellent 👌 made by professional knowledgeable baristas offering some excellent speciality coffees. If you want a treat or you're a coffee lover, this place is definitely worth the small walk from the hussel and bussel of the busy shopping streets. This is a little gem of excellence in a quiet, calm environment in a beautiful part of the city 😀 My flat white was £3.80

I’m so lucky to live nearby and able to spend my money at least once a week here for a cup of extremely good coffee. For a picky coffee drinker like me, Colonna and Small’s coffee suits my tastebuds’ preference. Love that you can choose your preferred coffee beans from three listed options on the wall, which also displays the tasting notes of each bean.

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 read so many reviews saying Colonna and Smalls did the best carrot cake. With carrot cake being my favourite case, I had to see if the reviews were true. I popped by on a Sunday later afternoon. The atmosphere was light and airy, and it was busy enough to give a calm and welcoming atmosphere without being overwhelming. I order the carrot cake and was asked to take a seat, where the carrot cake was bought to me (a lovely touch I was not expecting). The cake itself did not look like anything special but my oh my - the reviews are absolutely right. This is the best carrot cake I have ever had in my life. The sponge is incredibly moist and has the perfect level of spice one would want from a carrot cake. The frosting is as smooth as velvet and has that gorgeous cream cheese tang with a great balance of sweetness. I cannot stop thinking about how great this cake was and its been over a week since I went! I am a big fan of raisins in my carrot cake, which this did not have, but honestly it did not need them to add any moisture or texture. The people working in the cafe were lovely and welcoming. The only thing I would say is that I do not think I could sit in there for too long due to all the seating (as far as I can remember!) being hard wood. Nevertheless, I will most definitely be back for the carrot cake, even if the visit is brief!

The best specialty coffee house in town for sure! Great filters and knowledgeable barista and cool atmosphere. 👍

We had our coffee in the little garden. Weather was beautiful, it was nice to drink it in a bit of shade. We asked for some recommendations as there were quite few options. I wasn't anything special, had better coffee in few different places in Bath.

Colonna & Small’s has a great layout, a very nice atmosphere and a good selection of coffee beans. On the three occasions that I’ve visited though, the coffee has lacked any flavor, which is really surprising given the thorough descriptions of the beans. I wonder if their storage method is going awry at some stage, or how freshly roasted the beans are. The potential is definitely there, but they’re just not hitting the high expectations they set with their branding just yet.

staff is friendly, they explained to us about different coffee. I ordered a latte, which is pretty good. the fresh brewed isn't my favourite. brownie taste super yummy, not too sweet, with a hint of salty. would recommend that.

Phenomenal coffee, been ordering online and I can say after trying many specialty roasters across the country I have finally set up a subscription with Colonna. Both their beans and capsules are great and I really appreciate the wide variety of quality origins they offer! Could not recommend more, always get a fast and great response from Peter regarding espresso recipes! I look forward to visiting in person :)

Absolutely beautiful coffee, friendly staff. I walked in and just asked for a recommendation for both a long black coffee to sit in and beans to take away, the gentleman who helped me was really knowledgeable and friendly. The filter coffee was one of the best I’ve tasted.
