Another 5 star food hygiene rating :)

admin, March 30, 2018, 8:58 am,

We just had an unannounced inspection carried out by one of the Environmental Health’s Public Protection Officers… and we blitzed it again :) Our previous score of 5 out of 5 remains in place – the top score available – and we’re proud that our quality control and food production methods meet the high standards required to obtain this rating.

admin, March 27, 2018, 7:24 am,

10 Great Places in Bath City Centre for Early Evening Drink in the Sunshine:

“Adventure Cafe at the top of Milsom Street is a favourite among young people and students especially.

The front pavement terrace overlooks Milsom St and George St, and it is a great place to sip a beer or cocktail and do some people watching.

There’s also a garden at the back if you don’t want to be so public, but it is definitely the place to be seen in Bath.

They serve wines, beers and cocktails throughout the evenings, and you can wear casual wear or suits, all are welcome at Adventure.

It’s always really busy, and they don’t take bookings, so it’s good to get there early if you can.”

Did somebody say “shiny new coffee machine”?

admin, June 2, 2016, 9:46 pm,

We’re super proud to be rocking a spanking new La Marzocco GB 80. We had collective tears in our collective eyes when we decommissioned our trusty old FB 70, but our beautiful new machine is a more than worthy successor (plus it’s shinier). Did we mention it’s really shiny?

So it’s a heartfelt farewell to our trusty warhorse and a warm welcome to the newest piece of kit at Adventure Café. Here’s to another ten years of beautiful coffee :) Big thanks to easyjosecoffee.co.uk for the constant supply of top notch beans, training, and the wonderful new kit!

We are hiring!

Summer. Nearly.

admin, May 3, 2016, 10:54 am,

It might have snowed a little and there may have been a little hail, and thunderstorms, and high winds… but we’re almost certain summer is just around the corner! There’s meant to be a heatwave next week, so we’ve had our lovely garden all tarted up ready for the sunshine :) Big thanks to Emma Bannister! www.ebannlandscape.com @copey_e

Best beer in Bath!

admin, September 24, 2015, 2:33 pm,

Beer

We were confident before but now we’re definite: our beer is the best in Bath. We’ve upgraded our cellar kit and now not only is our new cellar chilled to a constant cool temperature, we’ve also installed a new Smart Dispense system – this chills the beer right from the barrel all the way to the tap, meaning you get a perfectly chilled pint every time :)

We’re open!

Googlemapslogo2014

For some reason Google have decided to put “Permanently Closed” next to our listing on Maps – but you can ignore that, we’re definitely open! We’re trying to get it fixed but it seems like a slow process… Perhaps you could help by reporting it as an error? That might help speed things along :)

Green, black & white tea. What’s the difference?

admin, August 4, 2015, 11:38 am,

We love teas at Adventure Cafe. But what actually is it?

White, green, oolong, and black tea are all products of Camellia sinensis leaves and buds, the only difference is how they are processed. You can turn the plant matter into any of the varieties. Different sources will give different accounts of the processing steps, but in rough order of least-to-most processed:

White tea is minimally processed and not oxidised, meaning it retains the natural antioxidants, but does not develop as much flavour, colour, or caffeine. Sweet or flowery flavours are characteristic.

Green tea has a minimal amount of oxidation, halted by additional pan-frying (Chinese teas) or steaming (Japanese) steps. The additional processing brings out more flavour, and allows for caffeine to develop, at the cost of a reduction in antioxidants. Characteristic flavours are grassy, vegetal, and earthy, with sweet notes.

Oolong tea gets partial fermentation, and often an additional shaking/bruising step that release additional flavours. Oolong can range in colour from dark green to black. The combination of bruising and partial fermentation give many oolongs distinct flowery & earthy flavours. Darker oolongs may have buttery or smoky tastes to them. It has somewhat more caffeine and less antioxidants than green tea.

Black tea is fully fermented, which blackens the leaves and causes the formation of caffeine and tannins. It generally possesses the most robust flavour and highest level of caffeine, but the least antioxidants.

Pu-erh is tea that is pressed into cakes and post-fermented, meaning that after processing and drying it undergoes an additional ripening/fermentation. Microorganisms work on the tea, changing it chemically in a similar fashion to ageing cheeses. Traditionally this is accomplished over years in controlled climate conditions (10-15 years being ideal), but in recent decades a several-month fast ripening process is sometimes used. Pu-erh develops a richer, more complex flavour, and has the widest range of flavours of any of the varieties. Before post-fermentation, it may resemble a white, green, or oolong tea, but the ripening process can impart darker black-tea flavours, giving a unique character.

Rooibos, sometimes called red tea, is made from another plant entirely, Aspalathus linearis. It is a traditional South African infusion, prepared like a black tea but without caffeine. There are two varieties, green and red. Green is un-oxidised, where red is oxidised. Rooibos is characterised by a sweet, woody/malty flavour. Health-wise, it is a source of anti-oxidants, may aid in digestion, and some say it may aid with nervous tension and allergies.

Yerba mate is from the South American plant Ilex paraguariensis, whose leaves are steeped like tea. It is generally toasted in processing, and produces a brew with caffeine similar to coffee. Despite its caffeine, mate is actually relaxing to smooth muscles, so you don’t get jitters, and it also helps control appetite. The flavour is vegetal and herbal, and can be bitter if brewed hot. Although it contains antioxidants, this is balanced by traces of carcinogens from the toasting, and the jury is still out on whether mate overall increases or decreases cancer rates.

Tisanes or herbal infusions these are various blends of dried herbs, fruits, spices, and flowers which are steeped like teas, but do not contain tea leaves. Generally, the ingredients are dried, although fresh ingredients can be used too. To confuse matters further, black and green teas may also have flavourings added to them, giving a similar result.

Make tea not war.

Staff Wanted

admin, April 23, 2015, 10:12 am,

We’re looking to fill a couple of positions here at Adventure so if you’re on the lookout for work then read on…

Chef:

Full time – 40 (ish) hours – in our busy cafe. The kitchen closes around 8/9pm so there’s no late nights to deal with! You’ll be working with our current team who will show you around the place and go through how service runs. N.B. You’ll need to hold a valid Level 2 Food Safety & Hygiene for Catering certificate.

Bar/Floor:

Another full time position, working directly with the customers. It’s goes without saying we’re looking for someone fun and upbeat! Experience is essential and full training will be given to make sure you’re up to speed with our working processes. We’re open all day and pretty much all night so there are varying shifts available.

Fresh New Juice

admin, April 16, 2015, 1:15 pm,

We’re now serving up freshly squeezed orange juice from Bradley’s at Box Bush Farm just down the road. Ordered on Monday, pressed on Tuesday and delivered to us on Wednesday you’re not going to find much fresher… (unless we pressed it ourselves, but we don’t have the space!)

Happy Easter!

admin, April 4, 2015, 8:46 am,

Everyone loves a long weekend and it even looks like the sun might make a brief appearance (crazy, we know). We’re open late as usual on Saturday but we’ll be taking a quick break on Easter Sunday so we can have a lie in and recharge, ready to open again for a great bank holiday Monday.

Happy Easter :)

Bath named second safest city in the world

admin, March 12, 2015, 10:15 am,

We all know it’s not too shabby: amazing architecture, friendly residents and truly plethoric eateries, but now Bath adds another string to its bow with the title of second safest city in the world. On top of that, Bath has also been recognised by the Times newspaper which says it’s the best place to live in the UK. Do you agree? We’d ask for your opinions but we’ve disabled comments on our website so go ahead and talk amongst yourselves :)

We’re now serving Easy Jose speciality coffee :) Their coffee beans originate from single origin mountain farms, estates and co-operatives and are selectively sourced and directly traded to ensure the highest quality product. Sourcing directly from the growers ensures that premium prices are paid, so putting more back into the system. We think their coffee is top notch!
