“ Love the cakes so much! All of them are homemade and we got a hard time to pick one! We eventually pick the coffee cake and chocolate one! Definitely sweet and spongy It is matching with the coffee so much as well ( ε ) ”
“ Great cafe. Lovely friendly and helpful staff and a great coffee! ”
“ Fantastic cakes, coffee, and service. The owner/barista is always friendly, and bakes the sweets herself. They are welcoming regarding wifi/ laptop usage, which I've found to be rare in Clifton, so long as you respect that you should move along if you're done with your coffee and new customers need a seat (which I would do regardless, but they have polite signage). The cafe is very clean, bright, and a calming space. I'm a third wave coffee fan, and the coffee strikes a good balance that I can enjoy a cup as much as my husband who enjoys a bit darker roast. Cannot stress enough how fresh and phenomenal the cakes are. We are newly relocated to Bristol, and this is certainly my new neighborhood go-to. Shameless photos included of the ridiculous amount of cakes we've tried so far (gotta taste 'em all!), but as folks here testify, the strawberry bakewell is the superstar. ”
“ Lovely little cafe in Clifton Village. We visited on a scorching day and cooled off with an iced coffee and some cake. Reasonably priced, friendly service and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Would recommend! ”

“ Dropped by last Saturday for some coffee and light bites. It was our second visit and the cafe has been very consistent -- friendly, welcoming staff, great selection of hot and cold drinks, lovely and tasty food. Their tea selection is superb and my husband liked the hot mocha too. Standouts are the croissant and the spanakopita-like pastry (spinach and cheese, love the crispy edges and the buttery taste). They have outdoor seating as well. Very clean toilet which is a plus. Will definitely come back. ”
“ Great coffee, roasted on the premises. Very knowledgeable and will even roast to order to take away if required ”
