The 30 Best Coffee house in Bristol

“Popped into the cafe for a cuppa and a piece of cake yesterday. Coffee was great, service excellent and the carrot cake absolutely delicious. Thank you. Such a warm and convivial atmosphere and, despite the gloom, I caught a few moments of precious peacefulness outside too. Thank you. I'll definitely be back soon. Kindest. scott”

“Amazing coffee and sandwiches! Fresh sourdough baked onsite and both the egg mayo and roasted veg sandwich fillings were super fresh! Lemon cake was also amazing! Really good cafe in a cool spot south of town”

“Great little cafe. Food quality is really good and reasonably priced too. Tried lots of things on the menu now and they are all great. Well worth a visit.”

“This is my go to cafe in Stroud. I must have eaten there at least 50 times.Always good food and friendly staff. The prices have recently been raised but it is the same pretty much everywhere else, and I will continue to eat there.”

“Frequently enjoy coffee and a snack in the friendliest cafe in Lydney. There is always a warm welcome from Trudie and staff. The cafe is delightfully situated in the middle of Lydney’s fantastic Bathurst Park, and offers hot and cold drinks, ice cream, light lunches and more. Can’t recommend it highly enough.”

“Visited a few times. Although it's always had other people there, I've been served straight away and not had to wait. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Drinks have been made as requested and tasted great.”

“Really warm welcome from the two ladies. “Real” hot chocolate was absolutely amazing. Bacon and cheese pastry was really delicious. Bonus was our dog getting some treats. Will definitely be back.”

“Staff were amazing. Breakfast was excellent. A great variety including for vegetarians. Bed very comfortable. Beautiful lounge. If ever I'm back in Bath I will definitely stay here.”

“I stayed here for 2 weeks whilst working in Bath. Beautiful setting, rooms are very spacious and homely. The staff couldn't have done more to make our stay better. I will definitely return for a stay with the Family! Thanks to all at Waterhouse!”

“So I have been past so many times thinking s as about popping in and I’m so glad I did, the pizzas were exactly what we wanted, really nicely presented and soft drinks so can’t really comment on the full range but looks good, the man who served us was very kind allowing the dogs to sit with us and the price was very good so it’s a big thumbs up. I will be back!”

“Lovely staff good food good price”

“We love eating here when in Nailsea. Friendly polite staff, good menu selection, excellent quality and reasonably priced food. Table of 5 and we all enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend eating here.”

“Posting reviews is not a habit for me but, just occasionally, it seems necessary. I have just seen a negative comment about Dexter's here, which deserves to be highlighted because it is really so wrong. Dexter's is a fine coffee shop, with a dedicated owner, loyal staff, and many regular and satisfied customers like me. The negative comment is really destructive. The writer, shining her London coffee credentials in truly pompous fashion, weighs in on the owner, the quality of the coffee, the uniqueness of her terrible experience compared to the normal welcome she experiences elsewhere, and ends by telling us all to avoid at all costs. So, first to correct the narrative. Dexter's, in five years of trading in this part of Bath, has brought a community to life. It is a meeting point and a place for conversation, a place where good things in life are celebrated, and not so good things are comforted. The coffee is sourced from a reputable local roastery, Extract and the owner knows precisely what her clientele need, which is really good coffee and light snacks, delivered consistently in a great atmosphere. But she is balancing a complex community; the shop is welcoming to owners and dogs, walkers and cyclists, people working and meeting. To keep all of us happy, and her business running, she has to be a manager and a diplomat. She does it brilliantly. Sometimes, people do push things a bit. Cyclists, like me, might lay a bike across the window; or someone may bring their lunch from somewhere else and spread it out for an hour whilst working and drinking one coffee. All without asking. Luckily such things are rare, and nearly always no offence was ever intended, but it is necessary to point out a problem, put it right and carry on. But of course there is always a reviewer out there who, if crossed, feels the power to write a review which slams not one thing, but everything about an establishment. And in doing so, the reviewer shows herself to be a righteously indignant huffer and puffer. Dexter's is great, so is the coffee and the company. Do not avoid. Unless that is, you are one of those negative reviewers who delights in trying to destroy small and valuable businesses. By all means please, you, stay away. See you at Dexter's everyone else!!”

“I wasn't expecting such a good flat white in Yate. Thanks to Ara for making it, she was fab. Seems like a popular spot with a wide spectrum of people: solo laptop workers, book readers, kids and parents, retirees, and other chatting pairs. A slightly odd building, trying to do interesting and quirky but in a narrow, new-build retail park shed. A good range of different seating options and loads of space on the terrace outside. Great coffee is what I came for and what I got, and the rest looks good too!”

“The sandwiches are fabulous! We stopped for a nosh on Friday, my husband grabbed a mortadella and mozzarella sandwich along with cinnamon bun. The cinnamon bun was lovely but the sandwich was the best I've had since a trip to Italy two years ago. I like it so much, I had to have a second one before our weekend was over!”

“From the smell as you go in you can tell that the coffee is going to be good. I had a really nice latte that was more on the strong end with woody and slight caramel notes. For £3.75 it feels pretty steep and I wanted to hate it but actually do rate the coffee. Service was friendly. The decor is simple but nice with plenty of light. I did also like that they had a coffee flavour wheel on the wall that I could look at while trying my coffee too.”

“The manager and his team are always extremely pleasant to interact with. In the past I spent a significant amount of time working and studying from this cafe. It's well geared for hosting people such as myself and I highly recommend heading there if you want somewhere to enjoy great coffee while you work/study. You have to try the caramel cake too! You won't be disappointed.”

“Absolutely fantastic little café. It is quite small and looks to be very popular, there was a queue out the door when we left. The food is excellent in both quality and value for money. The kids bug boxes are £5.50 and my 3 year old had loads to keep him going and really enjoyed all the items. The log burner gives the place a lovely atmosphere, although it's worth noting there's not a lot of room between tables.”

“A lovely cafe nice in every way, very good value for money. Wonderful service. Can't go wrong.”

“Very confused as this was originally a coffee house but when we found out they do Japanese food in the evening, we thought we'd give it a go! Food was delicious...we ordered takoyaki, battered crab claws and squid, eel with rice, a beef stir fry with rice and selection of mochi ice cream. All of it was delicious and had a reasonable price. Staff was friendly and accommodating too :)”

“Great food, lovely service. There was a big group of us and they were really helpful and accommodating, thank you!”

“relaxed, friendly atmosphere nice selection, and friendly staff.”

“I can not fault this cafe. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and make a real effort with their customers, especially with getting to know their regulars. I love the coffee here and grab one on my way to work every morning. The food is lovely, especially their wide selection of cakes!”

“Nice spot for a good coffee and we also went for the tea cakes which were huge.”

“Lovely pastries and one of the best mochas I have ever had. Big queues but well worth the wait.”

“One of my Favourite places to go. Lovely peaceful setting, lovely food and drink. Ice creams. Interesting shops to look at. A very warm welcome, highly recommended.”

“I come here often to work and meet up with friends, and every single time the staff are brilliant! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and have been enjoying the seasonal christmas drinks this year.”

“really good coffee and great breakfast options 10/10”

“Great little place if you're looking for a value nights sleep. Everything you need and far enough out of town to be peaceful”

“Cute little Rooms with everything you need, a clean and nice Kitchen with all utensils necesarry and very friendly hosts which even made vegan Breakfast for us.”
