Went here to celebrate wedding anniversary. Told the waitress that my chicken was tough (not chewable or eatable, like bark) and she came back from kitchen to say the cook had to deep fry longer after first blush showed too raw near bone. So, they explained why they served a horrible meal and went on their way. After getting home and pondering the situation, we realized we should have sent back to kitchen. Terrible PR! We will not return. read more

Lunch is limited. Restaurant is cold. Boring sandwich with packaged chips. Service not real friendly. Two people who came in after me were served first. We were in line to be seated and they seated the people behind us. read more

Service was above and beyond!! We showed up on a drizzly day and I had some visitors in town with their fur baby so we had to sit outside. The owner and our waitress immediately dried a table, got us umbrellas for the table and blankets to sit on. What a perfect setting for a fantastic breakfast! Food was delicious! Between the 6 of us, all were happy. read more

This food is delicious and very filling. You can also take drinks to go too! The service is so nice! They gave us books and blankets and also put up the umbrellas. Ambiance is 10/10! Everything is so cute and interesting! Love this place, would definitely recommend. read more

so lovely! The food was sooo yummy and the atmosphere was so comforting and homey! Their waiters and waitresses were so incredible as well! Full house with only two servers and we could barely tell, the service was that good! We are from the valley but would gladly come back soon! read more

What a cute quaint place! So warm and unique! Both my husband and I had the regular bacon and egg breakfast with their extremely yummy hash brown potatoes and their toast that was fantastic! Everything seems to have a healthier edge on it and tasted so good! We will be going back to try lunch! read more

Wandered in here as we were staying at the nearby Air Village. We were in search of a cozy place to enjoy coffee and light meal. It's a little unassuming in a good way. It's super cute and whimsical inside with lots of books. It feels like you're in a European cottage. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and seated. After that, the service was really unimpressive. Our waitress did not have the same vibe as when we first walked in and it made our experience lackluster. She was not very attentive and we had to ask another waitress for help and then eventually ask our waitress for coffee refills. We were there when it opened, so it was before it got busy. I wanted to love this place, as the food and coffee ordered was tastefully presented and good. Their espresso machine was not fully functioning this morning, so my hubby couldn't get his vanilla latte, but he improvised. With some staff training in hospitality and pep talks of keeping the "cozy vibe" entire experience from start to finish, this adorable little restaurant could definitely be a solid 5 stars! They even deliver your bill in a book! I would probably return to give it another go, as the ambiance and food are wonderful. Sadly, for me, the lackluster service and lack of friendly personality of our waitress made this an average rating. read more

This is probably our favorite restaurant in Prescott. The ambiance is so romantic outside (we were on a date) and they even brought us blankets because it was cold! We just got dessert but it was something to write home about. We got the peach cobbler but they brought out raspberry on accident, so they gave us an extra peach one for free. So nice! Thank you, we will definitely be back. read more

We loved our food- went with bangers & mash, and poulet frit. Drinks were also excellent. Being a book reader I absolutely loved the literature theme. There were book shelves all over, paintings of authors, and all kinds of literary-based art throughout. Servers were pleasant and attentive. Four thumbs way up! read more

We had a lovely evening and fantastic dinner at Bear and Dragon while we were in Prescott. The staff, the ambiance, the food - all top notch. We split the Lady Guinevere's Salad, which was a delicious start to our dinner. My husband had the Poulet Frits, which was perfectly fried and still very moist. I had the Southwest Shrimp and Grits. As Chris, one of the co-owners, is from Louisiana, as is my family, I had high expectations for this dish. And honestly, this was some of the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. Unfortunately, because we ate so much for dinner, we just couldn't manage desert. But I know we'll be back the next time we're in Prescott. And an added bonus was the funny conversation I had with Chris about life in Louisiana! read more

Wife and I came in to just have wine and deserts but ended up having a light dinner before desert. We had the pot pie and the cottage pie and this was excellent. Then we had the German chocolate cake which was the best we have ever had and being from Chicago, that says a lot. I can't say enough about the service and the owner was super sweet and caring, walking around visiting with everyone. Our server, an older lady name Ann was very kind and gave us tip-top service. I was shocked as to both the atmosphere, food and service. Top notch! 5 plus star rating. If you haven't eaten at Bear and Dragon, you're missing out. read more

Stopped by the Bear & Dragon in Prescot for breakfast on our way back home to Phoenix. We were seated right away and we ordered within 5 minutes after being seated. My wife ordered the French omelet (looked yummy) and I ordered the Tolkien breakfast " Full English Breakfast". Service was quick, the waitstaff was friendly, food was amazing and the ambiance was quaint. 5 stars all around. read more

Bear & Dragon - Lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Visiting in the Prescott area and had to try this place I had seen on IG. From the waiting area to walking out after eating, everything was pure bliss! The staff, the decor and of course the food. Being a bookworm it was welcoming with the shelves packed full of books . We had breakfast today and our friends had been there for lunch. The French eggs and potatoes were amazing as well as the special touches of freshly grated cheeses and sautéed onions. The scones arrive with 3 spreads and lovely dishes and little spoons. The outside patio looked great also. Leaving today but I WILL be back! read more

Great coffee and ambiance. Please try the Mexican Chocolate Latte! We were with four and ordered 2 orders of scones as well on top of the coffees. Food was great as well. Now the bad part.... When we finished our scones and got our coffees, somebody that worked at the Bear & Dragon, not our server, probably supervisor, came over and said that because it was a Saturday that they could not just serve some scones and coffee and that we had to order breakfast or get moving quickly. The nerve! We quickly downed our coffees and left the table so they can make more money at 8am on a Saturday morning. Nowhere did it say they had a minimum order amount and we still spent $40. Nor did the server tell us that we had to order more than scones from the menu once seated...Too bad that we had this experience and that we won't be back with our guests in the future. Would have been an easy 5 stars, except for the rude treatment of patrons. Be aware when going here in the weekends. Either drink your coffee fast or order plenty of the breakfast menu when you want to keep your seat. read more

Quaint & friendly. Needs to be in bigger building so tables can be spread out more for a little more privacy. Not to much though, needs to keep its cozy feeling. read more

Small but homey and cozy. The inside walls are lined with bookshelves and portraits of famous authors so you almost feel like you're eating in an English Inn. They also offer patio seating. Really enjoyed the food and drink and the prices were reasonable for the portions. A really unique dining experience! read more

Bear & Dragon - Beautiful presentation! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

It only is this a charming eatery it's also delicious. Have had tasty sandwiches for brunch and delicious mushroom risotto.

Bear & Dragon Cafe is a charming spot with a cozy, storybook atmosphere. The food was fresh and flavorful--we all especially loved their sandwiches. The staff is warm and welcoming. A must-visit in Prescott--I'll definitely be back! read more

A treasure chest experience! Come for the thematics, return for the phenomenal coffee and delicious food! I recommend the Sasquatch coffee (you're going to want a large) and Steinbeck's breakfast. Worth noting: - Come early! Space fills up fast. - A cozy spot. Take advantage of the pace of things- order a latte and catch up with friends while waiting for food. It's worth the wait. - Not a really a working type of coffee spot. If you're looking to sit with a laptop for a while, another local spot is advisable. read more

Got some tea while waiting for our table. So delicious; black tea, with vanilla syrup and coconut milk. Personal preference on the milk choice. And happy they had it! Breakfast was delicious and I felt so special The ambience was beautiful and rustic. Everything about this dining experience was wonderful. The wait was 30mins, but I didn't mind at all, and it was worth it! read more

I'm giving the 3 stars for ambience. We met friends there (we had a 5 pm reservation for our party of 6) We were seated promptly. Unfortunately the table was near the front door so my husband and I got the full very cold draft as people came and went. (A screen might help). I had the mushroom soup which was decent...lacked seasoning. I then had the steak frites. The steak was cooked well but not seasoned at all. The frites were almost steak cut fries with a heavy seasoning on them. I was expecting thinner fries as it typically served with steak frites and would not have had them had I known (I'm picky about my fries). The spinach side was also under seasoned. Unfortunately it was the same with my husband's chicken pot pie. He said he didn't enjoy it was it was so bland it was almost tasteless. I want to come back to try their English Breakfast (I'm a Brit). Maybe that's their ace in the hole?! At 7pm after it took some time to get drinks and food we were hurried along as they had another party to seat. Some of us were still enjoying the last of our drinks. Didn't appreciate the press to leave. On paper a great looking place and menu. The ambience is on point for sure!! We will give it another go. read more

We've heard about this place from various social media, and it lives up to the hype! We initially were going to come for dinner, but reservations were full, and after looking at the dinner menu realized that lunch is what we were really after anyways. The famous sandwiches are NOT offered at dinnertime, and the dinner menu is quite limited and expensive. Definitely check the menus online. My girlfriend and I got a Fire Drake and a Goldilocks and split both. Fire Drake is completely savory and Goldilocks had a little sweet to it, so it was kind of an ideal "meal"/"dessert" situation. Both were excellent. I would say the sandwiches aren't tiny but definitely aren't large. The prices aren't bad given how unique the sandwiches are, and clearly high quality ingredients, but I was still a little hungry. I had a Caesar Salad after, which was tasty. The specialty coffee flavors are unique - my girlfriend enjoyed hers. I was happy with iced tea. The decor is fun and tons of books everywhere! I didn't get clarity on if they were just decor or if you could sit and read - both we and the cafe were a little pressed for time (the kitchen closed right after I ordered my salad and we had other things to do). They use books for presenting the bill and having you sign... I'm not sure how I feel about that, those poor books are definitely going to wind up getting destroyed. But it isn't any limited print stuff or anything at least. We'll definitely come back and try other sandwiches! read more

Good food and service. In addition they have a nice array of wine selections. We shall return!

Even though our reservation was missing, the owner did find us a seat at the bar. Because of the problem she graciously apologized and bought our first drinks. We had been here before for lunch but their dinners, yum!! A smallish varied menu with all meals looking delicious as they went by us!! Our plates were plentiful and perfectly cooked. Shrimp and halibut were not overdone!!! Our wait staff, Amanda, was great, despite having her hands full with the bar and us. The cook staff kept plates and counters clean and seemed to enjoy their jobs!! Always good to see. Totally worth the monthlong wait for dinner!! read more

Highly impressed either way this establishment. It's no surprise why they are always slammed. Expect to wait no matter what. The interior exudes a whimsical feel, the staff is equally pleasant, the beverages are lovely, the food is fresh & full of flavor. Side notes: Parking is limited and narrow. Outdoor seating is available! Plenty of good reads. read more

Love the concept, love the menu, everything is so well thought out and served with excellence. Had the chicken pot pie which was so delicious. Going to try the cottage pie next. Highly recommend! read more

On a whim stopped in and it was the highlight of the day. The fish and chips was sooo delicious. Maybe the best I've ever had?? Close for sure. Our party of four all loved their dinner. Definitely recommend and would come back next time we are in town for sure. read more

What a lovely place! Although I only stopped in to grab a tasty espresso beverage, the place was packed, it smelled amazing, I was immediately greeted at the door, and the lady who made my "blonde Sasquatch" drink was the sweetest. The drink hit the spot on a cold winter afternoon. The latte was creamy, rich, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The espresso had a beautiful richness, with no bitterness whatsoever. I can't wait to come back to try some food. read more

Made a reservation for dinner, anticipated the visit by viewing the menu ahead of time. The seating was very tight & it felt like our date night was a party of eight. Waitress was super friendly and attentive. Was all set to order the filet and frites...only to find out the cut of meat had changed. Ordered it and it was by far the most fatty cut of meat I've ever been served ( very low quality) and my frites (French fries ) were over cooked and the vegetable was bland cooked spinach with whole cloves of garlic. My waitress noticed I had not eaten my meal & asked why (I did not complain). She said, no worries I have you covered. Then came back and said desert was on the house. Considering the price of the dinner a better option would have been to not charge us for the meal I didn't eat, but thankfully she noticed it in the first place and did her best to make it better. The desert was the best part of the night and my dinner . We will not be returning for dinner & hesitate trying breakfast or lunch for fear of a disappointing experience. read more

A big disappointment. I keep wanting to find an amazing restaurant in Prescott and thought this might be it. It is super cute inside but small. The atmosphere was top notch. The rest - not so much. I saw pics and reviews of the Shire salad. Why I got did not come. Lose to the pics here before or descriptions. I forgot to snap a pic. I was so disgusted with the salad and did not eat much of it at all. Tiny pieces of avocado and tomatoes but the worst part was that it was so heavily dressed you couldn't even determine what was in the bowl. And the dressing was odd tasting and again so much of it. I also ordered an Americano that tasted like it came from a pot of brewed coffee that had been sitting all day. I make Americanos at home with an espresso machine and this was nothing even close Terrible for $5. So I spent close to $20 for a coffee and a salad that I really didn't partake in. My companions had cold sandwiches that looked ok but I was surprised they only come with store bought potato chips. A small side salad or fruit would be a nice option. Service was good but we were asked to leave as they were busy and wanted the table. A bit rude but I get it. It was a busy lunch hour. Maybe other items would be better but I'm not inclined to return. read more

Won't Do To-Go Coffee After hearing glowing reviews, stopped by to grab a coffee and was SO excited. Despite seeing various pictures of to-go cups of coffee on yelp, the hostess refused to allow us to order coffee to-go. We then asked if we could wait for a table to order a coffee and were told no, we'd only be sat if we ordered food. The person in front of us was quoted at a 15 minute wait, so they were not slammed at the moment. What could have been a quick 5-10 minutes of business between establishment and customer turned into a refusal and a sour taste in our mouth. Was so disappointed in this interaction. read more

What an amazing place! As soon as you walk in, it captures you with its intricate details and charm. The service is amazing! Despite everyone being busy, they are all very kind and attentive. The French omelette and the Tolkien Breakfast...both so delicious!! The Pecan Pie Latte was smooth and creamy...tasted like fall on a summer day. The Mordor Maple was also really good. Make sure to try the British Scones & Clotted Cream with Cherry Jam! Absolutely scrumptious!!! This is truly a gem!!! read more

We went to Bear and Dragon for both breakfast and lunch. The food is very good. High quality ingredients. The coffee was awesome. The ambiance was very comfortable. The service was great. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is a place like you've never seen in Arizona! Decorated as an English cottage, with bookshelves everywhere, dishes named after authors, and recipes you cannot find outside of the UK! Our breakfast visit was incredible! Though you can get typical American fair, we went for the French omelette, Tolkien breakfast, the Forager, and a tea/espresso combination. Every detail was magnificently curated, making our delicious experience one we won't forget. We can't wait to return for lunch and then dinner after that! read more

This came up on my instagram and I knew I had to stop in. But it was beyond my expectations. The service was amazing! The food was DELICIOUS! The drinks!
