Poppy’s Bakery is a beautiful little coffee shop and bakery located in the middle of Pulteney Bridge, just a minutes’ walk from both Waitrose and The Guildhall. Tuck into one of their delicious pastries baked on-site everyday, paired with a freshly ground espresso and one of Bath’s most glorious views overlooking the weir. What more could you want? Watch the pleasure boats come and go in the summer months or do some people watching across the street whilst taking in the best of Bath’s Georgian architecture. Takeaways are also popular; they offer a meal deal which is ideal for a picnic down by the river. Cream teas are an afternoon staple here, with varying homemade scone options. Keep an eye out for the blueberry scones, alongside other favourites including carrot cake, triple chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle, all made by the on-site bakery team. Opening hours: 9am-5.30pm Monday–Friday. 9am-6pm Saturday and 9.30am-5.30pm Sunday.
