I went into the store at 7.50pm and wanted to buy a cooked lentil dish. The person responsible for that counter told me she couldn't serve me because she was leaving in 10 minutes. The store closes at 8.30pm. Selling healthy food isn't enough to be ethical, treating people with dignity and respect is also paramount. I'm a black man and the three people in the store are white. I hope that had nothing to do with the indifference, disregard, and disrespect with which I was treated. 1 star is too much.

Very good selection of products! Wow! i always thought it will be overpriced, but I see the prices are reasonable. Some items even cheaper than Morrisons :o Very great selection of organic products. Staff is kind and helpful

Went to the cafe, sat outside in the sun and had a STUNNING vegan pastry and a lovely iced coffee. Friendly staff who got my gender right :) when I've bought groceries before here they've been helpful - it's on the pricey end because it's not mass market, but you totally get what you pay for and they do a great job.

The two stars are for the Hot Chocolate only not the store, The store is fine, but I ordered a hot chocolate for £3.49 and was expecting a rich chocolate flavor but it tasted like it was made with water and not milk? If I wanted an instant hot chocolate I could have gone elsewhere, so unfortunately will not be going back there for anything as I only drink hot chocolate.

Really delicious food. OK it's a little expensive but I feel its worth the price. Healthy and a lovely selection to choose from. I would absolutely recommend giving it a try.

The coffee’s good for people like me - nice oat flatte - and if you don’t get there too early they’ve got those wonderful vegan pastries that they sell down the road too. Sadly if you go on the way to work you’re not likely to get one. Discrimination? The most serious issues start when go back into the actual shop and buy a thing of some kind. The prices are confusing, making you think you must have misunderstood how shops work and that it’s actually all fine. Lidl doesn’t exist in this universe, it’s parallel, and Aldi and even Tesco are there too. You are here and all you have is now and the shelves in front of you. Five pounds is reasonable for some sauce. A pepper could set you back a couple quid. When you get to the till, they usually smile, and act like they’re not guilty of a gross affront to your dignity and wellbeing. They only work there I suppose. But when the transaction goes through, it’s like someone’s kicked you lightly - but hard enough to feel it - in the testes, and you’ve just seen your ex walking hand in hand and smiling with a good friend of yours who you haven’t seen for a few months. But it’s OK, cos now you have a thing that you can eat, probably more quickly than intended, before you come back again two days later on the way home from work. 10/10 would recommend

Very expensive considering it sells essentially the same stuff as the cornershop on Old Ashley Hill round the corner for half the price. I once bought a yellow pepper at Better Food and it cost me over £3 when I looked at the receipt! It wasn't a big pepper either!! I have also heard they pay their staff minimum wage? The ambience and decor is quite nice though, I think that's why some people still go there.

Large ethical grocers/deli with café. This was the first Better Food in Bristol. I do all my regular shopping at Better Food on Gaol Ferry Steps and I rarely need to go anywhere else.

Would give it 5 stars for the variety of eco foods and products, however the prices are kind of high. Nice cafe and good coffee, good selection of beers and wines, dry goods, fruit and veg, toiletries, health supplements etc, bike parking outside.
