Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"The interior is charming and cosy, while the balcony has a fantastic view of the river and harbourside."
"Awesome cafe with stunning views of the harbor."
"Pretty cool cafe with a massive outdoor terrace and big bright windows that let all the sunlight in."
"Gorgeous spot with amazing light and view of the harbour."
"Chic, modern bar/Cafe with a rustic feel and bicycle theme."
"Cafe above cycle shop with an airy, light & spacious feeling, large terrace with great views over River Avon."
"This is a great and unexpected city oasis with a covered balcony and iconic view of the city."
Cons:
"Firstly the vibe is dated, same bikes hanging in the roof, same droopy plants, this place had definitely rested on its laurels."
"We arrived a little late in the afternoon so they had stop serving food and fortunately but we settled on a cup of coffee and some cake. A little on the expensive side in my opinion and rather disappointingly was chilly outside and inside still felt quite cool full stop but we're all cutting back on heating costs."
"Cold inside on an October afternoon."

Cons:
"Sadly the day we visited the service was pretty slow."
"I have noticed that service is not as quick as it used to be."
"Staff seemingly untrained and unattentive, had to holler to order both drinks and food."
"Then you get a 5 min warning after like 90 minutes to say that they need the table back."
"Been trying for a fortnight to book a table here for a large party, seems like the email address is either not operational or ignored."
"Very amateur service with no checkbacks."
"The only part letting it down was how rushed you feel during the service."
Food Quality

"Good food and drinks, with local beers available."
"Been here twice and both times the service is great, the cafe is so nice inside and out and the food is SO GOOD!"
"Really good rustic healthy food."
"The garlic bread with cheese is why I gave 4 stars."
"Veggie breakfast was delicious with homemade baked beans and one of the nicest fried eggs I’ve had."
Cons:
"We only had breakfast but it was pretty disappointing."
"Pancakes were stale."
"However the coffee is sub par."
"My food tasted awful, I ordered chicken schwarma & my cocktail tasted watery."
"The pancakes had mouldy berries on them."
"£7.50 English breakfast (without tea or coffee) very disappointing. Cheapest sausages in town."
"Poor experience Ordered veggie breakfast - full english turned up Toast burnt, poached eggs overcooked."
