BEAR - Uttoxeter in East Staffordshire

Really nice location in the center of town. The staff are super friendly and helpful, food was great. Free WiFi and comfy seating if you do need to get some work done.Will definitely visit again.

At this morning's parkrun BEAR was recommended by several runners. It is clearly a popular place and was busy (which may explain but not excuse). Service was efficient and my order arrived within a reasonable time. After the big buildup I was disappointed. This breakfast was £13.90. I know that quantity should be second to quality but I shouldn't be thinking about lunch ten minutes after late breakfast. So I'm saying close-but-no-cigar: That's a "long black" coffee, poached egg had a set yolk, I'd have appreciated everything being a little warmer, thicker sourdough slices please, spreadable butter at room temperature in a pot not a chilled and solid pre-wrapped slab and a larger portion of shakshuka and then this would be 5-star.

Loved the place. The grill wasn't fully operational so the breakfast menu was reduced in size from what we expected from the website. The food came cold which was a shame as it tasted nice. Not very big portions. Coffees were hot and tasty. Everywhere was clean. You can take dogs inside which was nice.

No celery in the bloody Mary. Gin opposed to vodka. Prices are through the roof and so is my anger. Nice chastity lamps. Top notch banter from the staff

Visited this lovely place for a hen party brunch before we went on to do an activity nearby. The decor was nice, staff lovely and they couldn't have done more for us! Coffee was also great. The only slight issue being that some of the food came out quite late when we had pre-ordered, slightly cold and a lot of people's eggs over cooked. That being said there was a group of just under 20 of us and it was pretty busy so it was understandable! I would return as a couple or smaller group.

Absolutely incredible. Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and warm. 10/10

Visited on Saturday night when they had a live singer. The whole place was nicely busy with a lovely relaxed vibe. Food came quickly and was of an excellent standard. The drinks were also amazing! staff were all friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our table was cleared away quickly so they're wasn't a build up of empty glasses or plates. The live entertainment was amazing and a added bonus to a lovely evening. We will definitely return.

We prefer the area to the front of the cafe as there are big windows. Families seem to enjoy the tables at the back .Quick efficient service . Great coffees and cake.Relaxed vibe .

Bear has a great range of tasty cakes and it's food menu is full of delicious options. The coffee is lovely and the staff are always friendly and happy to help you find something to suit your requirements. My favourite thing is when they stay open in the evening and you can enjoy beer, wine, and cocktails from inside the industrial looking cafe/bar. A great local business, owned by local people, i'm a big fan of supporting Bear!

Great Breakfast.A nice little find in Uttoxeter for good value, high quality breakfast and hot drinks. There seemed to be lot if returning locals both times we visited which is always a good sign. The staff were friendly and helpful, the service was prompt and efficient. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
