The 30 Best Coffee house in Bristol

“Scenic bar on the river with good views and beer.”

“Lovely visit today. Jacob was warm and welcoming despite having a long queue and doing multiple tasks at once to ensure service was swift. He wished me a happy birthday too when i asked to redeem my birthday gift. His colleague was also working hard to make everything as fast as possible. I hope they don’t have to work at that pace all day!! Anyhow well done chaps, you are doing a fab job together and i will come again for a lovely coffee.”

“Very convenient location. 10-minute walk to departures (even with suitcase), and felt very safe even at 3am. Check-in instructions were clear and accurate, and no issues with room. The fan by the bedside was a good touch.”

“Lovely clean accommodation. Good city location. Staff are very welcoming. We have a large self catering room with a view of Green Park.”

“Only popped in for a quick drink, ended up eating there. Special offer on a Wednesday, burger and fries for £10.95 as opposed to £16.95, bacon and cheese were extra. Very fast service, friendly knowledgeable staff, dog friendly. Well worth a visit. Check out the offers on the boards outside. Please note I had eaten half my chips before taking the picture.”

“well where to start, I asked coffee at lyde to cater for my event that I had at the community centre hall and they did absolutely amazing the food was delicious and all of it went down a treat with my guests they all kept saying how delicious it was, coffee at lyde also opened the bar up for my event and again went above and beyond to make sure there was alcohol there that my guest would enjoy so I just want to say a huge thankyou to kelly and her amazing team HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have an event or party go and book coffee at lyde for the amazing food and beverages we had 100 people at our event and coffee at lyde was absolutely amazing”

“Visited yesterday morning post Park Run and the cafe was heaving with the usual runners and other customers. The two staff who were on duty around 9:30 am, despite being extremely busy were calmly and courteously serving customers despite having to carry out extreme multi-tasking. Always get fine service in this establishment!”

“I was here on a Monday and witnessed a lovely member of staff having to deal with an idiot who was stood staring at the cakes then moaned no one served him. I felt compelled to defend the staff. At times it is a thankless task but being polite costs nothing. They work long hours and it’s not their choice to make everything so expensive.”

“Perfect as always! Never a complaint regarding Costa as they are outstanding every visit”

“A quick stop and we'll deserved treat! Bit of a queue, but staff are hard and fast working and order was correct. I do like this branch.”

“Sausage breakfast roll... seriously needs upgrading (take a look at startbcks... YUMMY) Really horrible and totally inedible. Stone cold too which really didnt help the disgusting sausages. Coffee lovely as always.”

“I have used this particular Costa at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol a number of times and every time I have been greeted with a smile and very helpful staff. When you've had a bad day that goes a long way to making me feel appreciated.”

“Very lovely people who serve and create amazing food. The chillie with the jacket potato is luxurious and filled me up for my plane journey. Calming music. Would definitely come back here anytime before my plane.”

“☕ Review: Coffee #1 Coffee #1 has become one of those dependable, quietly brilliant spots that always delivers—whether you’re grabbing a quick flat white between meetings or settling in for a longer session with a laptop or a good book. It strikes that sweet spot between cosy and practical, making it a favourite across Bristol and beyond.”

“Great coffee and friendly staff.”

“Found this place by accident. A gem! Pleasant interior, enjoyable background music, plenty of seating inside and out, dog friendly, staff were friendly and the cappucino was perfect.”

“I recently visited Costa Coffee and had a genuinely pleasant experience. The desserts I tried were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each bite tasted like it had been carefully made, and I appreciated the balance of sweetness. What really stood out for me was the cold watermelon and strawberry drink—it was refreshing, light, and had just the right amount of fruitiness. Perfect for a warm day, it exceeded my expectations and felt like a real summer treat. The atmosphere of the café was also impressive. It was clean, well-lit, and had a relaxed vibe that made it easy to unwind. The seating was comfortable, and the overall ambiance was ideal for either catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time alone. The staff were polite and welcoming, which added to the positive impression. I think Costa does a great job of combining quality products with a pleasant environment. It’s not just about grabbing a quick coffee—it’s a place where you can sit back, enjoy your drink, and take a break from the rush. I’ll definitely be returning soon, especially for that watermelon-strawberry cooler and another round of their delicious desserts!”

“I stayed in Room Number 7. Make sure you receive the door code for the main door before you arrive. My mobile for some reason didn't receive this. After a phone call to explain, this was then sent again which I received. There were no staff on site on arrival, I found my key on the table and went hunting for the room. The room was at the top with a lovely view of the castle. The room had everything I needed, however it would have been great to have had a hairdryer to use. I didn't meet any staff until the last day for breakfast which they kindly opened up and provided as was only guest at this point. Chepstow is lovely and is well worth a visit.”

“Popped in for a coffee and cake. I must say the coffee was nice and the cakes were amazing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Outstanding customer service!! Highly recommended!!”

“Great coffee, great service! I come there every week!”

“Delicious coffee and lovely, friendly staff. The cakes are delicious and varied. The atmosphere in this nice cozy cafe is gentle and relaxing, there is no echo and the playlists are great ;)”

“Great new Costa Coffee. Very friendly and efficient staff. Very clean, plenty of seating inside and outside. Comfy place to have drinks. There are USB plug sockets by some of the seats, so you could sit with your laptop/phone plugged in. Toilets are spotless and the decor is lovely and relaxing. Very spacious, tables aren't too close together, so it doesn't feel too claustrophobic. Perfectly air conditioned for a hot day!”

“Amazing coffee and stunningly good cake! Can't recommend enough!”

“me and my friend have recently started to come regularly to this Coffee shop to read through a book together, today we were served by Ollie and Luke, who were very kind and helpful! We have been coming to this Costa consistently the past few weeks and have seen the same faces, who have been welcoming to us both and even knew our order before we’d asked today! Would definitely recommend this costa :)”

“Lovely staff, quick and efficient. Of course i went in for nacho cheese chicken toastie, its so good. I have it every week lol”
