Quality café in Bristol

“Brilliant little coffee van. I go every time I’m there and or near there. Adam is a brilliant dude as well and a good chat when there is time. This is the definition of support local.”

“Great little sandwich shop. Always a pleasant service and good value for money. Recommend!”

“This is my favourite coffee shop. The hot chocolate is the best in Thornbury. So good that I am trying to get it stocked in my place of work! Grace and T are such a lovely team working in a Sat. Always friendly, smiley and happy to help!”

“Wonderful community cafe with delicious food, at incredibly reasonable prices... Usually about 4 dishes to choose from, plus cake, teas, coffees etc. Fab "pay it forward" scheme also. It is inside the Easton Family Centre, which has rooms available to hire and lots of community activities going on. A gem!”

“A fabulous independent family run traditonal French Restaurant (actually run by a French family), which puts many of the so called French inspired restruant to shame. We ordered from the set lunchtime menu (two or three courses), which was good value with two choices for each course & freshly prepared. I would definitely recommend & also suggest you book ahead as the restruant was close to full when we arrived.”

“Bolted on to the side of St Stephen’s church it looks like a soup kitchen. Don’t let this fool you. It is “little Spain!” Don’t miss this authenticity food. The best tortilla, huevos and the best Burnt Basque cheesecake that you will ever taste. We will be back.”

“You know a cafe is good when there is a queue! Fortunately we only waited 10 minutes to be seated. The food was delicious, service was speedy and the price was very competitive. The pistachio latte was incredible, as was all the food. Can highly recommend.”

“Jaw to the floor fantastic. First time here after a fancy meal out and so glad we spent less than a tenner on a waffle rather than having a dessert at our original place. We shared a kinder bueno waffle between two of us and it came with a whole chocolate bar, kinder sauce, ice cream, as well as soft serve and chocolate flakes. 10/10 would recommend. Really shocked by the other reviews, this will become a new favourite for me ”

“Came in only for coffee. Was lovely and chilled place to sit down. Lots of plants! The coffee was delicious. Had a selection of cakes !”

“Delicious food and beverage lovingly prepared and served. Highly recommended.”

“You can rent the place for big or medium parties :). They offer drinks that you guests can buy and you can bring your food to. they have a backyard that you can use :)”

“We stopped here for a drink after visiting the castle. The cafe is on the walkway from the car park to the town and has outdoor seating as well as takeaway options. The menu did look good (smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel!) but we were pressed for time. My smoothis was fabulous and the service was excellent too. Lovely place.”

“I was cycling along the Bristol Road when I hit a stone and my bike fell into the road. The owner of the cafe ran straight over with a first aid kit and offered to help. I was shaken up but didn't feel I needed medical attention so she invited us into the cafe to recover. She very kindly made myself and my partner a cup of tea and was very friendly. I had visited the cafe years ago and could see that it had been refurbished to a very high standard and was clean and inviting. After drinking our tea and having a lovely chat with the owner, we went to pay and she would not accept. This was incredibly heart warming and such a lovely gesture. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend Zubs for cleanliness, great food and a warm and friendly atmosphere!”

“Very good food and a lovely atmosphere, the best cafe in the Bs9 area !”

“Great local cafe to visit for a breakfast. Freshly cooked to order. The cafe is clean and tidy with modern lighting. It is actually a lot bigger than it looks from the front. We will return for a Greek night”

“OMG what a day! Me and my partner had a cheese tour as my birthday present. God do they know alot about Cheese. We were so blown away by the proces it was so interesting day. Were going back as food in Cafe was amazing.”

“Absolutely fantastic service great food all the girls are so friendly and helpful”

“I really like this coffee shop. There’s always a good vibe, not too busy, good service, good coffee, and just a nice place to sit and chill. The music is one of my favourite things here.. slow funky jazz type stuff. There’s comfortable seats at the back and tables designated for laptop/no laptop use. Only reason I gave food a 3 star is that there’s not that much of it, just cakes and pastries.”

“Lovely food, great price and friendly staff”

“City Cafe acts as the pumping heart of my chosen city - Bristol. It would be easy to boil this down to the large range of affordable delicious options they offer (both meat and veggie) and the unbelievably quick service they provide, but even this praise would be selling it short. I can say without hesitation that what makes City Cafe truly outstanding is the personable and charming staff and customer service provided without fail. Ahmed, Murat, and Soloman (and that's just to name a few) are genuine guys whose hearts lie with their business. Along with all of their fresh quality ingredients, you'll find yourself tasting something a little bit unplaceable spread evenly throughout your beautifully jam-packed halloumi wrap. This is in fact: love. If you're looking to challenge yourself in 2025, try this. Place your order at City Cafe, have a chat with those blue-polo-shirted studs, and try not to fall head over heels for them! Mark my words, you're bound for failure. But not before you're bound for a mouth full of exciting flavours and tastes. Get down there as soon as you can and show some support to the soulful staple of Bristol...City Cafe. Maybe I'll see you there...who knows. City Cafe is what dreams are made for, and I'll tell you that for nothing.”

“We tried this place for morning coffee. It was lovely, comfortable seats and a buzzy atmosphere with lots of people enjoying conversations. Plenty of space for workers on phones and laptops. The coffee was delicious and really well presented and whilst we didn't have anything to eat, the cake and pastries looked delicious. I really enjoyed this place and look forward to revisiting it soon. Highly recommended.”

“Cafe Amoré is the most iconic cafe in Bristol, with stunning decor and a large open space. The cafe has many options to choose from from different beverages and coffees, to sandwiches, pizzas, breakfasts and many more. The food is always great quality here. There is plenty of seating in the main area, upstairs and also outside.”

“A little gem in front of college green serving an excellent coffee. The coffee here tastes different and refreshing. It's a small independent outlet run by lovely welcoming people. They also have excellent food options with snacks and lunches including a full vegan menu. The interior is beautiful and done tastefully, there is bigger space downstairs which can accommodate more people. Do visit this place to have an excellent coffee when you are in the heart of the city and in middle of all the action, it's quite a refreshing break.”

“We visited the Bistro after a quick shop around 4.30ish today. I just want to say the lads behind the Bistro counter downstairs were so kind and welcoming, best customer service we have received in a long time. My daughter spilt her drink and was a bit tearful with embarrassment however one of the lovely guys helped clear it up for us and made her feel at ease. Sorry I didnt get your name but you were fab!”

“I don't very often go to the M&S cafe because I thought it would be overpriced but I was pleasantly surprised when a slice of cake and a cup of tea came to approx £5. The service was really good. I was feeding the baby at the till and the lady offered to bring my drink and cake over. A chap brought it over in the end but he was very thoughtful and got me some sugar too! Will definitely be returning.”

“Really friendly staff and good value for money. Afternoon tea was delicious. Well worth a visit.”

“I don't understand all the negative reviews. This cafe is a very pleasant experience. We were served by Clara who was excellent. After sitting down, she brought our coffee and food quickly with a warm smile, wished us a good day and checked if we needed anything else. Coffee is great. Atmosphere is busy but buzzy. I will definitely be returning.”

“Used for the first time,not disappointed at all. Very friendly staff.”
