Speciality coffee, whole leaf teas and fresh brunch
Start your day with the BEAR experience. Savour their specialty coffee, take your pick of their wide range of whole leaf teas, and treat yourself to some delicious brunch offerings. Every cup and plate is crafted with care to bring warmth and cosiness to your day.
The coffees, sourced seasonally from carefully selected beans, are roasted and brewed to perfection, offering a rich coffee that pairs perfectly with milk, yet is just as delicious brewed without. Imagine the rich, velvety texture of a flat white or the robust, bold flavour of an espresso, each cup a testament to the team’s special attention to detail.
The brunch menu, served all day, is equally impressive, featuring a wonderful array of dishes, including sensational seasonal specials. Enjoy fluffy pancakes or perhaps a good old-fashioned Full House Breakfast. Indulge in their popular ‘on toast’s’, there’s a topping for everyone from classics to bold twists. For those with a sweeter tooth, how divine does French Toast sound?
Lunch is served from 12pm onwards and is just as special. Why not go for it with a juicy burger, or savour a warm loaded flatbread with an array of fresh toppings. Each dish is prepared with passion, using fresh seasonal ingredients, to create a menu that is both special and different!
