A little below street level. A world away from the rush.

The Honey Café brings an easy, neighbourly warmth to one of Bath’s most unexpected settings.

Owner Karolina and the team prepare cakes, quiches, soups and sweet and savoury treats every day. Settle into the bright stone space, or find a seat in the tucked-away garden.
