The Brown Bear Coffee Shop

This café was cold and miserable with no heating on. Despite it being the middle of winter, we had to sit in our coats. The fruit loaf was disappointing with a portion size that wouldn't even be enough to feed a small child. I ended up going to Birds cake shop afterwards because I was still hungry. There were also staff issues as I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for the fruit loaf after my coffee arrived. To top it off, they served me an out of date gingerbread biscuit with my coffee. I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment as it has gone downhill and they are overcharging for what they offer.

What a little gem of a find, first time visit today, homemade bagel BLT was to die for, coffee great too, would highly recommend and will definitely visit again

This coffee shop is truly fantastic! I don't live nearby, but I was invited to a baby shower there and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and drinks. The prices were also very reasonable - £6.20 for Eggs Benedict is a steal. I loved the added touch of a small gingerbread bear served with each drink. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Give this place a try and you may be just as impressed as I was. Ripley is fortunate to have such a charming coffee shop.

Great veggie breakfast and carrot cake . It's definitely worth to come back and try the milkshakes and scones that look stunning!!

A lovely little tea room/coffee shop/cafe. Good choice of menu and large portions. Because of the stairs would not be suitable for the disabled
