THE BOOKCAFÉ REVIEWS

A wonderful little cafe with a super food menu. I've been three times so far, and this was the best yet, with the pulled ham hock Benedict and iced mango smoothie (pictured) both excellent. I'll definitely be back!.

Super helpful and friendly staff. Easy to get too. Really quirky and beautiful decoratations and delicious cakes. Gluten free afternoon tea was lovely as well.

Really terrific cafe in Derby. I wish I would have discovered this cafe earlier and not on my way out of Derby, could have visited more than once.

COSTA COFFEE DERBY REVIEWS

Love this Costa, really nice people who work there and who always do their best. Very good prices for excellent sized portions. Clean, tidy and plenty of seating of varying types: sofa, tables, large chairs and lower chairs. Charging stations along a high table along window.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, a comforting welcome. Soft lighting and cozy seating create a relaxing atmosphere. The gentle hum of conversation blends with the clinking of cups, a soothing symphony. Each cup is crafted with care, a testament to the art of coffee making. This is truly a delightful place to unwind and savor the moment.

Nice spot in the heart of the city. The coffee was good, and the staff were friendly. Great place to take a quick break while shopping.

BEAR REVIEWS

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.

I'm a big fan of BEAR and their pancakes are absolutely delicious. Truly some of the best I've ever had. The staff are always lovely and speedy. I cannot recommend this place enough.

I’ll always come here whenever I’m in Derby it’s a total gem of a spot. The coffee is great, breakfast always scuppers my hangovers and the staff are always delightful! Plus they have vegan / vegetarian options which always helps!.
