Be More Bear has drawn the Midlands into a big warm bear hug and serves as a coffee house, kitchen and bar all rolled into one - the perfect all-day hangout for a spot of Brunch.
Billing themselves as part of a ‘third wave’ coffee movement, they fuse the best of artisan independent roasteries and welcoming neighbourhood pubs.
Three venues are now spread across the Midlands – with sites in Derby, Uttoxeter and Stone – and it’s easy to see what all the hype is about.
The Stone site is housed in a beautiful, bright ex-bank building tucked neatly in to the historic High Street, with an abundance of cosy nooks and large social tables, as well as a secluded mezzanine space that’s almost too easy to settle in to.
Kick things off with a cold brew, smoothie or locally-roasted coffee or go full boozy with Brunch cocktails like Elderflower Gin Spritz or an Espresso Martini.
Breakfast is served until 10.30am with a full Brunch menu served until 4pm, ranging from light bites – smashed avocado with pink pickle onions or bubble ans squeak cakes topped with poached eggs, to name a few – to a full Bear breakfast and mouth-watering stacks of fruit or maple bacon waffles.
