Why a Breakfast Bar is the Heart of Your Kitchen

When it comes to kitchen design, the breakfast bar is more than just a place to grab a quick bite — it’s the hub of daily life. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, helping the kids with homework, or catching up with family, a well-crafted breakfast bar brings style and functionality into one beautiful space.

At our workshop, we create handmade breakfast bars using reclaimed wood, designed to add natural warmth and timeless character to your kitchen. Each breakfast bar is fully assembled and built to last, so you can skip the frustration of flat-pack furniture and enjoy quality from day one.

Customisable to Fit Your Space

No two kitchens are alike, which is why we offer custom sizing options for our breakfast bars. Need it wider, longer, or a particular finish? Just reach out via live chat and we’ll tailor it perfectly to your needs.

Natural Textures and Warm Tones

Modern kitchens often feel cold and clinical. Our breakfast bars bring in natural textures and warm tones, creating a welcoming atmosphere where family and friends love to gather.

Why Choose a Handmade Breakfast Bar?

  • Durability: Built from reclaimed wood and finished by hand for a lasting finish.
  • Style: Unique character in every piece — no two are exactly the same.
  • Ease: Delivered fully assembled, ready to brighten your kitchen right away.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your kitchen, a breakfast bar is a practical and stylish choice that adds value to your home.

Love my new bookshelf!

I absolutely love my new bookshelf! I spent so long looking for what I wanted and regret initially hesitating because there was a wait - yet in the end it didn't matter as nothing else I found came close.
The process was straightforward and as promised there was an email 2 weeks prior to delivery and then updates on the order, right up to a call 20 minutes before the delivery with nice guys who were willing to wait until I got home from work.
The quality is excellent - I love the aesthetic as I wanted something simple, narrow and unobtrusive for my books. There are plenty of alternatives that are made of chipboard and veneer and will arrive super fast however if you want something that is stylish, very well made and reasonably priced, I would really recommend Shabby Bear Cottage!

Bench and table

We bought this last year but it's been in the garage since due to the weather. We built it today in the sunshine and we're so impressed with this solid and stylish table and bench. Can't wait for more sunny days to use it!

Shabby bear and geometric bear in harmony 😍

Seamless process and love the product. Would definitely recommend.

My unit came fully assembled which was great. Shelves are nicely sanded and stained, also nicely finished at the edges too.

I had an issue with my delivery day and hadn't got an initial response from High Velocity the courier but when I called up it was sorted straight away.

Beautiful Furniture

Wow what amazing furniture, I am over the moon with my new table and bench set, it has been made so well and the wood is beautiful. I wanted a smaller table than the standard size so found this company that hand made the size I wanted. The price was brilliant and the communication and wait time was spot on. I highly recommend this company you will mot be disappointed.

Looks stunning

I bought table this for my hallway as I had recently decorated and wanted a side table as a feature. After much searching I found this shop & item and took a chance on ordering something I had never seen in person… well it certainly paid off and it looks stunning in my hallway, turning quite a boring space into a warm and inviting area. The seller’s communication and customer service throughout the process were second to none and I absolutely love the table. It’s very special to have a beautiful UK handmade item in my home and support a small business at the same time. If you are thinking of ordering something from this business don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it.
