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 Derby site is a huge industrial-chic space with a cool black bar, hanging plants and intricate illustrations on the walls.
Kick things off with a cold brew, smoothie or locally-roasted coffee or go full boozy with Brunch cocktails like elderflower gin fizz and a Cuban mojito and put some hair on your chest.
Breakfast is served until 12, ranging from light bites – smashed avocado with pink pickle onions or roast thyme mushrooms on toast, to name a few – to a bear-sixed big breakfast and mouth-watering stacks of pancakes. Can’t roll out of bed that early? Not to worry, as Be More Bear serve all-day Brunch plates include baked eggs and chorizo with a flatbread and everyone’s favourite Brunch item, the humble Eggs Benedict.
