Food Quality
Pros:
"We had the overnight oats with gooseberries, which had delicious dates and figs running through it."
"We were blown away by the food, with our highlight being the bacon sandwich on incredible bread."
"The baked cheesecake was absolutely amazing, with a creamy and velvety texture that melted in my mouth."
"The food I had was crazy delicious (poached eggs, spinach and mushrooms on focaccia bread)."
"The flavors were perfectly balanced, and I couldn't resist going back for seconds."
"The bread itself was exceptional, with a great texture and flavor that elevated the entire dish."
"You will not get any better Basque cheesecake anywhere else."
"The chocolate vegan cake and the almond and orange cake for our wedding were both presented absolutely beautifully."
Cons:
"The ratatouille which had a bitter taste and was disappointing."
"My poached egg overcooked and quite simple dishes."
"They were all cold and dry even though we were there at 9 am."
"The pear one was leaky and meh, the pistachio was just a cardamom bread with pistachio crumbs on top."
"Waited 20 minutes to be seated, and the bap was lovely until I found a long thick black hair inside it."
"While the sandwich looked dull (no vibrant green color on the veg), I was surprised. It was yum!"
"I had a bacon sandwich which was made of quite fatty belly pork so I can't recommend it."
"My partner had a jerk chicken pasty and it was good but couldn't taste the jerk seasoning."
Service
Pros:
"The service was impeccable and the staff were very friendly."
"Very attentive service as well!"
"The customer service was amazing."
"Staff were great, super friendly and polite."
"Great coffee and selection of fresh cakes and sandwiches daily."
"After our third visit there, I can happily confirm that the standards are kept really high, the service is busy but nice and polite."
"In addition, the staff were extremely kind and especially Christos made sure to provide the fastest and best service for us."
"Both waitresses were so helpful and lovely."
Cons:
"The service is a bit disappointing, this afternoon wasn’t busy at all and I saw the waitress chatting with the other staff."
"The staff was giving us weird looks and were not friendly at all."
"Whilst waiting, a long long time, I observed that they choose to keep a queue at the door, even if there are seats ready inside."
"They gave me a free pastry but still made me pay for my coffee (?), which by the time bap arrived had already been cold anyway."
"After we sat down, we were given a brunch and drink menu, however, we were just after a pastry I saw on their Instagram and a coffee."
"Although very expensive the food and drink is great and I do keep coming back. Have never felt that welcomed by staff."
"The coffee was great too, but this bacon sandwich was enough to put me off them for a while."
"We waited patiently to be seated (as per instruction), then sat ourselves down. Still no one came, went to ask for a menu, still no one said they'd come over."
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"The interior was beautiful. It had a very earthy decoration and was done very well."
"Relaxed restaurant with cafe vibes selling cakes, loaves of bread, pastries and Italian groceries."
"Popular cafe with delicious meals and good coffee selection."
"Beautiful interior full of plants!"
"It's also a beautiful place in an ok location."
"Discovered this place today...beautiful and inviting interiors with a real organic earthy feel."
"The deco and atmosphere makes this a great place to sit and enjoy some great tasting food."
"Lovely interior, great atmosphere, love all the plants everywhere and the amount of light that gets through the windows."
Cons:
"Loud music, but a good range of things to eat and drink."
"The place was rammed with mothers, their children, strollers and all the, apparently necessary, paraphernalia that accompanies them, you couldn't move for it all!"
"The cafe area felt quite cramped and there were too many tables to allow for social distancing."
"Possibly promises a bit more than it delivers?"
Value for Money
Pros:
"The flavors get changed frequently so you find something new every time you come. Croissant cake is a must try!"
"Amazing surroundings, despite where it is, parking is really easy to find, so no excuse not to pop by and try EVERYTHING."
"You need to visit this gem. Excellent service, beautiful setting, I couldn't get enough of the huge plants, each time I visit Bristol I will be here."
"Food: great taste and amazing serving, very Instagrammable."
Cons:
"A bit pricey but delicious, stays fresh for long, and is quite big too."
"It was £10 for three pastries. They were all cold and dry even though we were there at 9 am."
"Food was pretty good and reasonably priced for the type of place it is."
"The queue is for the bread shop, so avoid that to get to the other two areas."
