35 Best Cafes near Bristol

“Had lunch there today and don’t know why it took me so long to go! The owners are wonderful with their over the top service, my tuna melt was mmm-mmmm good - loved it!“

“One of the best little surprises around. Food and deserts are great, drinks are awesome. My smash burger was out of this world. Service 5 star.“

“House roasted, amazing coffees, exquisite treats, and delightful baristas. Always a relaxing spot.“

“the renovation and updated menu has taken this place to the top! excellent staff, delicious homemade bagels, and incredible fresh squeezed lemonade (i tried the strawberry which was AMAZING) Highly recommend this local favorite for all bagel lovers“

“I would gladly return but I did feel the pricing to a bit high for Fall Riv“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“First time try…. played it safe, and got my ice caramel latte, although they had so many specialty coffee’s that I was tempted to try. Owner and or employee recognized we were new faces and asked if it was our first time. When I said yes he handed me a free large sample of their “OG” which was very good, and I would def go back for or try another specialty! Customer service experiences like this are always huge for me and also if your a plant person and love coffee this is the place for you!“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“Overall very good food, chefs are great. Summer hires are rude and impatient however. So just “for future reference”: The line gets crowded quickly, small place. To avoid the staff becoming frustrated with you, make sure to: 1) Pick your menu items quickly and 2) pick drinks quickly, and if they are from fridge take drinks with you to final register If you do not do this, you may be called out in public by folks at register, and it can be a little embarrassing. Check menu online and know what you want before you go and you should have a good experience!“

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“went for the first time today for a breakfast sandwich. What a hidden gem we found!! We will definitely be back again and probably sooner rather then later!! Staff was very friendly, sandwich was excellent and the cafe is cute. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!!“

“The vibe is gorgeous! Well-rounded coffee shop with attentive service.

I tried the Spanish Latte, which was great — though I didn’t taste the condensed milk until the last few sips, so up until that point, it tasted like a regular latte with (good) espresso, just no flavor. Would still order again in hopes of a better blend & try it iced!

The croissant I got was fresh, plain-and-buttery, massive, and abundant in soft flaky layers.

Their onsite merch is excellent quality too, and the aesthetic they’ve built for their shop makes it easy to want to purchase and reflect the brand.

Excited to return… perhaps on a weekend where I can try their breakfast sandwich… but the croissant bread pudding also sounds delicious… stay tuned!“

“Yummy chai lattes and delicious breakfast sandwiches. 🙂👍🙂“

“Thank you so much for having such delicious coffee! We stayed down the street during our wedding weekend and my husband went every day for me to get a latte. On our last day you sent him back with the most delicious croissant on the house. Thank you so much!“

“great big selection of sandwiches, cakes,breads,cookies, hot and cold drinks, sml and medium size pastries.. let's not forget the speed the staff works at.. I would matter of fact I do recommend to everyone 😜“

“Wonderful people, and the food is awesome!!!!!“

“Upon walking in, there are a few seated tables to the left and a few high tops to the right. All the tables are fairly spacious. Self seating and order at the counter. They have a good variety of baked goods. Everything looked really fresh tasty. They have drink specials (lattes). We ordered D'S Country Breakfast (comes with sausage, bacon, toast and home fries), egg and cheese on English, blueberry pancakes (very fluffy and plenty of blueberries), and Sunny Toast (with avocado and there's vegemite spread on the toast). They also have cold pressed juice made to order. We got the Healthy Heart (carrot, apple, ginger). Great spot where all the locals go and for people that are visiting the area.“

“One of the best cafes I’ve been to.

got the sweet bread egg sandwich, linguica pop egg sandwich and taro smoothie.

both sandwiches were nice and soft and warm.

the taro smoothie was wicked good (order it without added sugar, the taro is sweet enough)

the workers were very kind and were so excited to help me. :D“

“Great food and an assortment of tasty desserts! Trendy atmosphere and service with a smile!“

“Very nice, medium size neighborhood drinking establishment. They have a kitchen, but not a daily menu. When food is served it's over the top delicious. So if somethings listed on their chalk board be sure to place an order. There's also a larger room available for function rentals. Place is super clean and the staff is friendly. Especially Victor, the owner....ask him to see the parrots. He has a pair of beautiful birds that are often in the background somewhere. They're friendly, but let Vic do all the introductions.“

“I visited the Portsmouth location for the second time this morning and this is a perfect first date spot imo. The large wraparound deck is so cute & cozy, like a farmhouse porch. & the coffee 🤩 I had a tiramisu latte last time, a cherry Garcia latte this time- I was not disappointed either time, the flavors were accurate without being overwhelming or weakening the espresso, & oh so delicious. The food is even better; the attention to detail & balance of flavor in the dishes is off the charts. I recommend the avocado toast or whipped feta plate, and if you’re not into coffee, their teas and lemonades are just as amazing.“

“What an incredible unbelievable experience after a tough night with my two year old, I was ready for a cup of coffee in the morning, so I got into my car and I looking for a place completely oblivious that I wasn’t carrying my wallet and Harborside Café me a huge favor give me a coffee give me warm And lots of cheer and smile. What a wonderful experience God bless the whole team at Harborside.“

“Love it there everyone is so friendly and waitress are awesome food is great big portions and delicious every time I come to my sisters house I go at least 1 a week if not more“

“Oh I loved the atmophere. Clean, cozy, comfortable... good food. But my passion for cats, anomals said i have to see this place.. so surprised how any one could complain about anything..people were also there in a room for a book club. What a great idea. So i voluntered. No pay, just want to be with the kittys... loved the serenity of the place. Now i can love all the cats I want.. stop by,, a nice surprise... maybe see you there. The counter where the food is ordered is a bit further back to the right. Hard to see, but stop by.. nice change, too.“

“We just had the most amazing pastry from Sweet Rose—made with zucchini, of all things! I’ve never had zucchini taste this good (sorry, Mom!). Light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just right. Huge compliments to the bakers for turning a humble veggie into something so delicious. This was easily one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this bakery. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“delicious! delicious! delicious!“

“Awesome ice cream but very inconsistent on soft serve cone sizes either really big or very small no matter what size we order.“

“the place has The chronic ☮️“

“Friendly employees and a variety of sandwiches and desserts as well as alcoholic drinks.“

“wish you were open later. love to get a coffee and hang out. covid is over“

“We go here a few times a year. We ordered donuts today for my son's birthday. We did it through door dash. I wrote a little note asking for specific donuts that he would like. They gave us what we wanted, plus one extra, plus a little note. It's the little things in life that mean a lot to me. So i take appreciate that. It means we will keep going back. Thank you to whomever did this for us this morning“

“Food is excellent. Portion sizes are healthy. For example the veal parmesan with linguini feeds both me and my husband. I haven't tried anything as of yet that I didn't like. Everything is cooked fresh“

“This place is pure magic! Casey is above and beyond helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped me to pick out a variety of unique cheeses and extras for my charcuterie board. I learned so much, too! These are cheeses of high quality and rich taste that you could never find in a grocery store. Highly recommended Effie’s oat biscuits and any of the truffle cheeses. Yum! Edgewood is the place to go for charcuterie newbies and pros alike - Casey will take good care of you!“

“My favorite place for coffee (latte) and bagels. Rania is the best. Lunch stuff in the fridge. �� Would love a mimosa…hint hint….�“
