Amazing hot chocolate and moca. Best of all coffee shops in the area. The coffee taste is amazing plus the chocolate create probably the best combination that you could order. Moreover you have very nice views and also a terrace for the sunny days. The personell is very effective and nice and there are sofas as well as books that you could use and spend the whole afternoon or morning here enjoying the coffee and silence. Also the frappes are a great option for the summer coming, refreshing and tasty. Highly recommended.

Sat on the corner and worked for hours without being bothered. Nice coffee and great location.

It was the best coffee I have ever had in the coffee shop, totally recommended

I searched all round Bristol for a place that actually made and sold coffee and not watered down espresso (why so many place don't understand the difference is beyond me). They brew their coffee in batches and had an Ethiopian mellow blend and a sweet an nutty Costa Rican blend on when I visited. They also seem to do a plethora of bites to eat, ranging from the health to downright indulgent. Despite the very modern exterior they have worked very well to make inside seem comfortably classic and a library feel to the place. Staff were very polite and genuine, Bristol lets itself down by only having one such coffee house, and yes this is number #1.

Wonderful coffee shop, the 2 ladies serving were very friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean, bright and warm. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in town

The best coffee and above all the best service. Excellent. The day I come back. I'll definitely go for my coffee here

At 10.30 on a weekday morning this coffee shop was busy, with a very nice atmosphere. I can recommend the dark roast espresso and raspberry croissant

Have been to lots of Coffee#1 but this is the best by far. Somehow the others have terribly slow service but this one, with the same level of staffing, just does it better. Whenever I walk from Temple Meads or Portwall Lane I call in here. Try the giant tea cake too!
