25A Old Market in Bristol, City of

A very nice place to get breakfast with a unique menu and style. Fantastic mushrooms 👀 and very strong coffee. Good vibes and atmosphere for sitting and enjoying some time. Hash browns are insane!

Nice little artisanal coffee shop with seating inside, downstairs and a few tables outside. Coffee is delicious. They have a few baked goods and flatbreads available. Enjoyed the “Shroomies” flatbread - thought the flavors were quite nice especially with the chimichurri sauce, egg and lots of mushrooms. Friendly servers.

Wanted to start my Sunday with a good cup of coffee and croissant. But this cafe was definitely a let down and not a good experience. Flat white- coffee was bitter/strong taste/salty/wierd taste? personally didn’t like it and I don’t say like that about coffee ever, croissant- cold and old, banana chocolate bread/slice- definitely old and not tasty. Nothing was fresh..expected it would be since it’s a weekend and sadly paid more for low quality experience.

Visited this place after seeing great reviews on Google. We ordered the Mighty, a sandwich and coffee, all of which turned out to be good (but the food wasn't 'awesome' as was expected from the reviews). The highlight was definitely the latte art that came with my coffee -- it was perfect! The cafe has a lovely and pleasant atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite; but it isn't ideal for a long sit-down meal.

Delicious food & coffee, not exactly the best place for a nice sit-down meal but really liked the spot and would happily come back. I'm a bit of a coffee snob but loved the oat flat white, and the takeaway batch was also excellent

Quite possibly the most delicious brunch I've ever eaten! 😋

Secondo me, this is one of the best flat white in Bristol central. The right balance of texture and taste, as good as Melbourne. The brunch was incredible as well, fresh, tasty and very filling, the only meal I need for the day.

Spectacular food. Had a shroomie flatbread. Such an amazing combination and flavour. Can't remember this place highly enough.

Lovely coffee shop with delicious brunch options. Had the fresh granola bowl which was yummy 😋

got some tasty croissants from too good to go, v happy

Probably the best almond pastry I've ever had, refreshing citrus cold brew and Motown in the background. Absolutely spot on 👌

A stunning cafe, I love the atmosphere, aesthetics and aura of this place and on top of all of that… The chefs food is pure magnifique brunch deliciousness. I especially love the granola and the big brekky. Perfectly cooked cacklebean eggs!? Oh my. I can never order just one thing from the menu. I urge you to visit and order from one of the best brunch menus and grab an exquisitely prepared delightful coffee from beautiful and friendly faces.

The worst granola yoghurt and service I have tried.

been my favourite coffee shop since i moved to bristol, i’ve been to other coffee shops then stopped going, but i’ve always stuck with this one🤞🏼🤞🏼 great coffee and food!!! the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are sweet:)

Great coffee and food. Service varies- some individuals provide great service and you feel welcomed, with some I feel like they are mad at the fact I came in to order a coffee.

Real good food and perfect athmosphere

Lovely cafe. Great staff, delicious food.

Delicious cafe. Fried breakfast was delicious.

The staff is friendly 😊 Their latte tastes flavourful 🤩

Been to there once because of the short stay at Bristol, I ordered the iced oat mocha and salmon croissant. They were delicious, I loved it. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. Will recommend it defo xx

By far the best coffee in Bristol - they even make freddo espresso. Always excellent and friendly service, delicious food, dog friendly (with treats) and I wish they were open longer hours!

Visited several times and the coffee has always been great! 👍

Fantastic toastie, great latte, lovely relaxed place with friendly staff - I’ll visit again soon!

the most expensive almond croissant I've ever had/seen - £4.5! OK, it is big but you can buy a whole bread with this money! Also I'm not sure why it is called croissant - definitely it is not made of puff pastry as it is looks and taste heavy. Overall it is OK but dit is not worth the price in my opinion. The place looks cosy though.

Atmosphere and service were 4* (and seating outside was right on a fairly busy road), but the hazelnut croissant was the best I've had in my life, on par with the almond croissant from La Chouqette in Manchester. Absolutely huge and topped with as much hazelnut paste as there was pastry. Can't wait to try more from there!!

Fantastic food and excellent tasting coffee

Very nice and a relaxed place to pop in for a breakfast. The croissants are delicious and the coffee was perfect. I highly recommend.

Highly recommended coffee spot in the city centre with tasty drinks and breakfast options. Great atmosphere and tables available when not on the go

Friendly, intimate and welcoming with wonderful food and coffee... brie & confit leek toastie was super tasty.

Great coffee and some good selection of food & pastries. Lovely service by the barista today :). Perhaps the best flat white I’ve had in Briz so far - must be the beans!

Delicious coffee and the cakes looked lovely .

really nice staff, lovely chill atmosphere, great decor, wonderful v60!

Stopped here before meeting up with my son, who lives local Was delicious and very filling Pea watercress and courgette Will have to pay it another visit 🙂

Slightly on the dearer side for a breakfast but the food was tasty. Ham and cheese croissant was lovely and flakey, sausage roll was good value for money for what we got. Flat white was well balanced and a lovely drinking temperature

Very expensive £9 for a meal “deal” which includes a pretty average tasting sandwich a packet of crisps and a canned drink. The croissants do look massive though so that’s a plus but then again they are 3 pounds

I purchased 2 surprise bags. The male member of staff who served me Gave me 2 items. I went back as I thought it odd and asked to speak to a manager. She told me it was 2 items per bag so that would mean I was 2 items short. She rectified it immediately. She was friendly. Apologetic. Sincere. And very professional. I would definately go back again.

Bristol is famous for the quality of it’s coffee shops of which there are many in the city. If you are in the mood to stray just a little from the immediate city centre head over to Old Market where you will find one of the best. On a day like today enjoy your flat white on the pavement outside, taking refuge under an awning if you must Coffee is superb, food very tasty and service with a smile.

I have worked on Old Market for many years and have always loved 25a as a lunch spot. The coffee is very good! Before they were serving very large focaccia sandwiches for around £7.50 - these were very filling and I considered it value for money on my lunch break. They've now stopped these, and are selling relatively small bread roll sandwiches at the same price. £7.50 for a small white roll, filled with some tuna and cucumber is unfortunately not a viable option for lunch. I won't be buying lunch here anymore - as it is simply not filling enough and a very premium price. In comparison - Loaf on East Street sell focaccia sandwiches for £4.50.

Often pop in here for a filter coffee during the work week - they serve Yallah Coffee (a personal favourite) and have a wide selection of baked goods, sandwiches, pantry items, homeware, etc. More of a grab-and-go location from what I've seen; there might be seating downstairs but would recommend it for a quick cup/bite based on my experiences.

My fav coffee shop to go to. Their granola and coffee is the best in Bristol, served by wonderful staff. I love to sit outside and let the world go by. Thank you for always being so welcoming

This amazing gem of a place that serves the best brunch in Bristol is now open for cocktails on a Thursday night! We tried The Old Market and Gin & Juice: both SO good!

Found the place by chance (not too many good coffee spots are open on Sunday), and haven't gegret coming. Amazing coffee (batch brew, local roasters), lovely pastries, suspect all the toasties are also very good, but available since 10am. Great selection of deli foods, pates, sauces , etc. Would love to have a local like that by my house.

Highly recommend, not from around the area and fancied a bacon Bap. The guy at the till said not a problem, we can do you one, even though they didn't have one on the menu. That is how you do customer service right! Amazing service, amazing food, friendly staff, great price for the quality you get and would def go back 💯

Lovely coffee place. The breakfast was amazing, the granola was the best I have ever had in my life. Cappuccino was really good. Would love to visit again, highly recommended!

They make a fabulous oat latte and the pastries were amazing!

The best coffee discovery in old market. Lovely staff great coffee!

Really good breakfast and pastries and nice local, independent priduce to buy as well. Can't wait to try my peanut/chilli sauce!

Really great food made well and to a high standard. Vegitarian and Vegan options here are great. Great place for lunch or for a few speciality food/drink items for at home!

Very nice coffee shop with a nice calm atmosphere. Probably helped by the lack of WiFi, which was refreshingly nice. A good flat white as well :)

Very nice coffee shop. We ordered 2 mockas one with oat milk and they were delicious. Really cosy place and nicw staff.

A little diamond fab coffee and bags of character well worth a stop for coffee.

A very nice cafe and delicatessen. I had a sandwich; tuna mayo and baby leafs in focaccia bread and a flat white. Both were delicious. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Nice decor. Great coffee, but breakfast was overpriced for what was very standard.

Really comfortable cafe experience. Attentive, friendly and efficient staff. Excellent choice, reasonably priced and well done. Tip top independent cafe in an interesting part of town.

The coffee here is amazing. Watching the different plates of food come out all looked amazing. The place was packed, and we struggled to get a table, but good places will normally be full! The staff as super friendly and drinks came out quite quickly despite the number of orders. Enjoyed the cinnamon bun and will 100% visit again when back in Bristol.

Friendly staff and delicious food. Wonderful cheese toastie!

Came here a few times for coffee and it was always the same great quality.

Fantastic cafe. Really friendly staff and the focaccia fabulous. Would recommend whether you want a take away or eat in. Cosy downstairs and bright and airy upstairs and outside.

I have only had takeaway cakes from here but they were excellent and well packaged in cardboard boxes. My granddaughter especially loved the chocolate brownie with pecan, while my favourite was the raspberry Bakewell. Service was very friendly and polite.

Lovely independent cafe on Old Market - it's a treat to sit outside when the sun is shining. I've been here a few times for brunch or coffee with a friend. The food is interesting and they sell delicious pastries from Pinkmans. Nice interior decor.

Great onion bhaji bap and great service.

Visited here, as we were visiting Bristol for a few days, and I had done some research before we arrived. It is our Silver Wedding anniversary this year and as a couple, we are trying to complete 25 activities that include the word "silver" or the number "25", hence the visit here! During my research for our activities this cafe/deli came up. The reviews I read were good, so we decided to visit ourselves. I can confirm that we were not disappointed. It was a beautiful day and we were able to sit outside (in October!). An amazing choice of sandwiches available, some not of the usual choices, which is what we picked 😁. I ordered Serrano Ham, rocket and pesto, hubby had Roasted Veg and Artichoke with chili jam, both on focaccia bread. A huge wedge of a sandwich was delivered to our table and they were both delicious 😋. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Gorgeous decor, great music, very friendly and capable staff. I enjoyed a beautifully-flavoured baba ghanoush on bread, along with their signature Coffee Tonic. Personally, this drink is very refreshing; although I believe some may find it an acquired taste. I was glad to have taken that punt (maybe more of a hot-weather drink, though). I met two friends here: one greatly enjoyed the bacon/avocado combo on toast and the other a mouthwatering pastry. 25A is in an ideal location for multiple modes of transport, close to the culture in Old Market, a short hop to the waters and grasses of Castle Park and precisely 3 throws of a stone from Cabot Circus retail. Lovely greenery and lighting indoors which work well alongside their bronze-painted wall – it all sets a lovely mood. Perfect for a date, catch-up with pals or an informal business meeting. Extra room can be found downstairs and they have outdoor seating too. Pets seem very welcome as well. 25A definitely gets the seal of approval from me!

OK to decent coffee shop, if I could I would award 3.5 stars. The coffee is above average but nothing special, it doesn't particularly stand out to be honest. It's a nice enough place, service is friendly, and swift, but the coffee isn't very good for me. Brownies were very good though.

Always love the coffee, food and vibes. Friendly staff and airy spacious place.

Great prices and selection of clothes.

Flapjack is delicious, double espresso was great and they have a deli upstairs to buy high quality goods from.

Pretty average breakfast slightly expensive. Pastries were good

Fantastic coffee, brilliant food. There isn’t much to say about 25A other than, please do visit.

The food and coffee are really really good. Nice staff too.

Perfect brunch. Nice food, service, atmosphere.

Great staff, great coffee, great brunch. Always (surprisingly) a table free PLUS Pinkmans goods in Old Market. What more can you ask for?

Couldn't have been happier with the veggie breakfast and coffee. Excellent service too.

Best brunch and awesome service

Love this place, great coffee and decent food. Staff super nice and dog friendly!

One of our most favourite coffee places in all of Bristol. We probably go here once a week, at least. If you need a place to chill, meet friends or grab a quick coffee on your commute, choose 25A. The staff are always super friendly and have great coffee knowledge - they’re happy to recommend beans when asked and are usually on the money. My usual order is black filter coffee. I love the variety of batch brews they offer (it gets sold out quite quickly, which is a shame, but I can understand why!). Their brunch menu is great - I particularly recommend the poached eggs and bacon on sourdough toast. The food looks quite fancy and I applaud the effort they take in the presentation. For cakes and pastries, they have a collab going with Pinkmans Bakery. What they have is always tasty; however, my only (constructive) criticism would be it’d be great if they switched up the choices every once in a while, as it can get a little boring, especially as Pinkmans offer quite a wide range of treats. All in all, you can’t go wrong with checking this place out. I haven’t been yet, but their tapas evenings sound fab, and I love how they’ve diversified over the course of the pandemic to meet their customers needs. It’s got such a good community vibe. Will keep coming back every time.

High quality coffee, at reasonable prices and served by friendly staff. Seating options upstairs and downstairs. Many non-coffee and very interesting deli items (jalapeno jam anybdoy?) on display for sale.

Very fancy coffeeshop/deli. Beautiful inside, great coffee and sourdough donuts.

Amazing coffee, best so far in Bristol

Nice cafe, better than usual multi nationals you see everywhere

We visited 25a Old Market last week for a brunch and we love it so much! The store is extremely vibing with their choices of furniture, grass and the cups as well! For food, we picked the chessy toastie and the mayo tuna! Both of them got lots of fillings, esp the chesssy one, super chessy! The tuna mayo is very yummy too with all the veggies and the sauce. It is definitely a super balanced brunch! For coffee, we ordered americano and flat white. It is super awesome with nutty flavour and the aftertaste as well. It got very chocolate at the end as well. It is definitely a good blend!

Great coffee and breakfast in fab mid century decorated space.

Went at lunchtime for a coffee, got soup of the day that was really nice. We sat downstairs and it was quite chilly but other than that it was nice.

Great food and drinks. The space is night enough for a few groups to come in and enough a coffee. I wasn't expecting the focacia to be so big but wasn't stuffing either, which is always a good thing. They have an nice interior with a lot of plants which gives a relaxing vibe.

Friendly staff airy, beautiful space and delicious coffee! (Sourdough bread is perfect!) Wish I could go everyday! Thank you!

Gorgeous cafe with lovely coffee

Super friendly staff, amazing coffee and one of the best focaccia sandwiches I've ever had. SO GOOD!

It's hard to find a decent oat chai latte and hot chocolate but here both were smooth and delicious. The milk was heated to perfection. I've had the soup for lunch, it was kale and sweet potato and was also absolutely delicious. Staff are also pleasant and friendly. It has now become a regular

Went to this beautiful Cafe for one of their evening tapas nights and it was fab. Lovely friendly staff, great wine list including a delicious unfiltered Sherry. Loved the tapas, excellent quality ingredients and all delicious! Go try it!

Best brunch in old market 😋 tons of pinkmans bakery stuff, the coffee is awesome, and the vegan brunch looks lush. Thank you!

Tasty beverages, sandwiches and cakes. The toasties are perfection

Really nice cafe with nice, friendly staff

We had a really good vegetarian breakfast here and some great coffee. The espresso was very smooth. Super friendly staff! The decor is also one of my favourites in Bristol - plants everywhere with a hint of Art Deco glam. We’ve bought a fair few plant pots from these people too!

Really good coffee and excellent store items too!

Great little local coffee shop. Amazing coffee - They even grind it for you on the spot. Top quality and great people.

Gorgeous interior and very high quality food and coffee

Fantastic coffee and food, excellent service and their new work space which can be leased is perfect for small meetings. The room is fairly priced, well lit and sheek. Claire (owner) was incredibly accommodating to all our needs. We will be returning. The3engineers

Great cafe,friendly staff ,and lovely coffee and doughnuts

One of the best coffee spots in Bristol

Great coffee, including interesting guest espressos that change frequently. And really friendly people too
