Sass Cafe & Bar
About Sass Cafe & Bar
On S Parade in Weston Super Mare, Sass Cafe & Bar occupies a Victorian-period building, with pillars and chandeliers built into the decor. The menu runs to eleven items, with toasted sandwiches and patisserie and cakes served alongside coffee and milkshakes for a light lunch or snack, plus soft drinks including cola and lemonade. A step-free entrance and wheelchair-accessible layout suit visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Outdoor seating extends the space for those who want to sit outside, and dogs are welcome throughout. Reservations are recommended, and the cafe and bar opens daily. It draws in early evening for a 2-for-1 cocktails happy hour, and hosts an open mic and live music night that runs into the later evening. Guinness here is poured from a can into a dispenser rather than served on tap.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most consistently point to the 2 for 1 cocktails, especially the espresso martinis and mojitos, as the standout draw during the early evening happy hour, alongside praise for the coffee, with several singling out flat whites and lattes as affordable and well made even before 5pm pricing. Close behind, the toasties and cakes come up repeatedly as a solid, good value light lunch, and live music or an open mic night adds to the atmosphere many describe as busy and lively, especially heading into late night hours before nearby clubs. Staff are called friendly and helpful across nearly every review, with one reviewer noting a server kept preparing toast even after the toaster had been switched off. The recurring complaint is the toilets, with one reviewer describing a leaking urinal that left people walking wee onto the restaurant floor, and another separately noting an overpowering smell of vomit in the bathroom, though they suspected it was just a bad night. A few also mention the music or crowds getting loud, making conversation harder. One reviewer's request for allergy ingredient labeling on the chocolates served with coffee remains unaddressed in the reviews.

“Really enjoyed how comfortable this place was. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our dogs loved having a break here. I was shocked by how affordable it was with amazing 2 for 1 cocktails and really, really nice coffee - I got a latte and was surprised it cost £2.75 which is better than any place I've been to recently.”
