Great Bath road breakfast & brunch venue. 2025 update: popped in again for lunch and still a great choice. They only had two smoothies on the menu, but the strawberry & banana one is really good. And I highly recommend considering the super food salad. I'll be back again.

What a lovely place for good food, good service, cosy environment. We had a full English breakfast followed by something sweet. They had a great menu to choose from and cakes to die for! We are from Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire but if we are ever visiting again, Lucy's cafe will definitely be on our list! Thank you xx

Had an incredibly tasty, thoroughly enjoyable breakfast here. The portion sizes were perfect and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients used. The lady who served us was lovely as well. For the price I think this was by some way the best breakfast I’ve had ;)
