TONIQ CAFE

Walk up George Street and you'll spot Toniq tucked away from the Georgian hubbub—this is where locals actually sit down with their coffee, not tourists rushing between museums. The space feels considered; the kind of place that's clearly thought through the details, from what they're pouring to what they're serving alongside it. You get the sense the team here cares about doing things properly, whether that's sourcing good ingredients or getting your flat white right, but they've managed to do it without any of the self-importance that can creep into Bath's café scene. It's the sort of neighbourhood spot that makes you think, 'How haven't I been here sooner?'
