This place is great! Super friendly service, delicious brunch and excellent coffee. I had the mushrooms with truffle oil, a duck egg and some lime infused avocado. Sat overlooking the water, perfect start to the day!

Cool place attached to a bike shop with a lovely view of the harbour. Small menu but the food was good, although quite strict on times between breakfast/brunch/dinner! Definitely overpriced (£3 per sausage, £5.50 for a 2/3 pint) but overall a decent spot for brunch in Bristol

Came to collect my too good to go magic bag and it was amazing!! Situated in a lovely place it has lots of baked goods and good measures on covid as well! The sandwiches, pasties and the green curry was incredible!! Would love to come back again! Tried their americano today and it was really good! Staff member new well about the beans and where they are coming from as well. It was also great that the cup and the lid was biodegradable material.

Very good coffee. I went there almost every morning when I visit our Bristol office. Very tasty double espresso. The Chai Latte also seems to be very good, my colleague liked it very much (with oat milk).

The guy behind the counter is very nice, funny and very helpful.

Definitely go there again!

Great little coffee shop right on the river. Friendly staff and delicious coffee. Had the latte with oat milk and a Cornish Pasty (steak).

Stepped outside and set on the water edge looking at a beautiful view.

Could this be the best coffee in Bristol? I had a fantastic flat white and my wife had a wonderful soya capacino. Great friendly service, polite and enthusiastic within a really cool environment. Will be back to try the food. Make an effort, forget the soulless chains and support brilliant independents like this ☕☕

Water with some coffee added to it. Better than nothing but not by much. Also served in plastic cups which detracts from the already horrific coffee. Avoid.

Thank you for your reply, we are not "mates" and the water flavoured "coffee" I received is unlikely to develop our friendship any further. Wishing you very best.

The service here was great and my chorizo and Scrambled egg burrito was delicious!
Sadly though I was overall disappointed with the visit.
I love milkshakes and was really looking forward to one from here but paid £9 for two and watched the waitress fill the blender with milk and a few pumps of syrup - I expect at least a scoop of ice cream and some whipped cream and some drizzle for a £4.50 milkshake.
Also the place appears to be aware of the sustainability concept, it at least has some funky bins to recycle the waste but we sat inside and all of our food was brought to the table with some packaging that needed binning, Alu foil on two burritos and a burger, paper wrap on the burritos, then a paper bag per burrito, the tacos were in a plastic box - it could all have come on 4 plates and needed no material to be scrapped.
The layout is really weird too like you have to go next door to order a milkshake or coffee then come back inside to sit back at your table, not really very customer focused, especially with Covid, I was walking back-and-forwards past loads of strangers stood around and stood in doorways...
I think they need to make some changes so, not recommended sadly.
