I visited this morning for breakfast and as usual I cannot fault Avenue Cafe. The staff are always helpful, the food is delicious and no matter how busy it is, there’s never an unreasonable wait! I just wanted to let everyone at Avenue Cafe know that they do a fantastic job which doesn’t go unnoticed.

Lovely cafe. We sat in the conservatory area but they have a selection of different area's to suit your needs. We had the large breakfast, which was steaming hot, all freshly cooked, quality ingredients. It was nice to have a gluten free option, I chose a very tasty bacon sandwich, with good quality, thick bacon. All the coffee's available. A nice selection of fresh fruit juices and smoothies. Staff were great, friendly and efficient. Food served promptly. We will definitely come again, and recommend to others.

We attended our friend's 80th Birthday party last week it was fantastic and emotional evening celebrating his milestone birthday with his family and close friends. A lot of work went into organizing this party and the venue was as always the perfect for a celebration. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, food, drinks and birthday cake (by Avenue cafe) was great as was the DJ playing music for all ages. We cannot praise the Avenue Cafe enough for making this such an enjoyable party for everyone.

Firstly thanks for my invite to your 80th birthday party. I was invited by my friend Nikki G to her neighbours 80th birthday party and I have to say it was great. The company was amazing, food was fantastic, DJ played great music. Also it was great to see the owners of the Avenue being invited to a customers party. Great party and venue can’t wait for the next invite.

My husband and I recently attended an evening 80th birthday celebration at The Avenue Cafe and it was a most enjoyable occasion. The staff, without exception, were friendly, helpful and efficient and couldn't do enough to ensure everything went smoothly. There was a great selection of drinks available and the buffet was exceptional - freshly-prepared, delicious and with a wide variety of foods ensuring something for everyone. If we lived nearer Bristol I am sure The Avenue Cafe would become a regular eatery for us and highly recommend.

Attended my dads birthday party at the avenue, where they are regulars. I must say it was overall a really enjoyable night. The staff were attentive and clearly care very much about the experience people have when in the cafe. I’d also like to thank the staff for the love they show towards mum and dad, they dont have to but they do and are genuine with it. My kids are also regular visitors with their grand parents and love the breakfasts and the staff. Contary to one very odd review from a james may wanna be, I loved the evening and will definately be back ❤️

With my Partner away overnight visiting her family, I decided not to produce my own main meal of the day, and instead dine at this popular and most pleasant local café. Taking advantage of some, thankfully and unexpected, drier weather conditions I set-ff for a morning walk, but I checked-out the specials board here on my outbound route. I also established that specials were available, providing not sold out, all day; so early lunch here ‘was on’. After my walk I arrived here for my early lunch at about 11:20, and I was able to sit in comfort at a small table. It was very busy and bustling with contented-looking customers (save one baby who obviously, very vocally, had ‘had enough’). I would have chosen the burger (one of four specials listed on the board at the servery), but that was ‘Sold Out’. Two of the other specials didn’t really appeal (principally the lighter plates). I chose the ‘Thai Red Curry with Salmon and Prawns’, plus a generous cup of their really excellent Americano Coffee (with hot milk). The coffee here is really good, quite strong and rich with a lovely burnt caramel flavour, and it is always served really hot. This soon arrived and I sipped it, and had finished it well before my curry arrived. Yes, it was very busy and the kitchen staff were furiously working at full tilt to keep up with demand; I could clearly see this through the nearby serving hatch. My plate arrived and it looked very good: the curry was confined in a bowl on a plate that also included a reasonably-sized helping of boiled white rice, plus a medley of fresh veg: fine beans, carrots, and spring cabbage. The quantity of curry was reasonable; there was plenty of well cooked salmon in generously sized and tender chunks, and a few tender white prawns; which had been well-prepared. The sauce was hot and HOT (plenty of chilli heat). The rice was good, but had a couple of hard clumps needed to be broken-up with my fork. The veg could have been a bit hotter and a couple of the whole leaves of the cabbage were too tough to eat, conversely the carrots and fine beans were a tad overcooked. Yes I am picky about simple things like veg, but my expectations, when not met, need to be detailed; so that eateries know where to made improvements. The curry flavours were really good, and I was asked for a reaction by one of the attentive waiting staff (that my Partner and I are acquainted-with) to provide an opinion on the chilli strength. I advised that I felt that the majority of customers here would find the chilli heat a bit too strong. For me it was hot, but not excessively-so; others would be likely not to agree. The meal (with my coffee) was £17.10 and my hunger was well-sated.

I’ve been visiting the cafe for just around 5 years now and they have never missed a beat. Starting with the food, anything from breakfasts, brunch to cakes and coffee, they cater to every need for a catch up with friends or just a lovely bite to eat. Everyone of the servers are absolutely amazing, always friendly and willing to help and always amending food, coffee and service to your every need. For example, I don’t tend to have meat or dairy with a lot of my food and they always amend items on the menu to fit my needs. Always lovely to have a catch up and a chat as well! Highly reccomend coming to the avenue cafe if your ever in the area, the BEST cafe in Bristol and I won’t hear otherwise!

Honest review? I arrived at about 11am and it was pretty busy which I expected knowing this cafe well as it is a local. I was greeted by a lady, short hair, only lady in a different uniform and when I told her that I was solo and was at the area where people waited to be seated, it's like her face immediately dropped. I felt a little discriminated against for this plus the fact that I was sat on a table with high uncomfortable stalls and no back support. Brilliant for someone who is 3 months pregnant with hip and back pain. Top suggestion here, ask customers if they have a preference in where they would like to be seated as there were much more comfortable looking seats lower to the floor nearby where I was seated. Now this might make people question why I didn't ask for a different table. Well, the fact of the matter is I felt like I was being watched like a hawk by the same lady when I was told what table to go to and when she seemed to notice that I was looking at the tables nearby. Made me feel comfortable to say the least! I ordered my food and that's where the customer experience got better. The food was served quickly, accompanied by my drink at the same time and by a member of staff who was cooking the food who used her initiative and saw that if she didn't serve it herself it would have been left to go cold. She even asked how I was and wished me a good day. Lovely lady. Then, it goes down hill again I'm afraid. This same lady, when she returned to the kitchen was treated not very nicely by her 2 fellow male colleagues. They were talking (well snapping) at her like dirt on the bottom of their shoe. I know it was busy but there's no reason to lack kindness to one another. When I ordered food it was appreciated that the lady at the till thanked me for making my order easier for her by telling her 2 of everything for my make your own breakfast. The food itself was ok. The positives were I like having the option to make your own breakfast... very much! (Fussy eater here!) However, as a customer who has been here a good few times as it is local to home, I've noticed a clear change. The produce used is by far not as good as it used to be and it is obvious that there have been some cut backs. I will second another reviewer and say that the tea that I had was not the nicest at all. The orange juice glasses used have clearly gotten smaller and the quality of the sausages are not good at all. Bacon was also pretty dry. Toast mind you was 👌 just how I like it and warm! My table was cleared quickly, I finished my tea and off I went. Sadly, without a thank you for my custom despite a number of staff nearby freely available. The atmosphere in the cafe I will say is difficult to take for someone who has a hidden disability which includes chronic fatigue. It can be simply too much which does put me off of going here sometimes.

A very popular cafe, because it's so popular it can take a while to get you seated but the staff are very friendly and helpful and keep you informed about when you will get a table. Once seated you have plenty to choose from and when it's served you will realise it was worth the wait. Would definitely recommend. Enjoy!!!

Only had a cup of tea. Cups unsuitable for tea, so thick that by the time the water had been in the crock pot and then in the cup it was not hot enough.

Had breakfast here. Low quality produce you would expect from a greasy spoon. Over cooked eggs, dry bacon, breakfast van quality sausages and boiled tinned mushroom. What?! Overpriced.

We were on the eve of an overseas holiday leaving very early the following morning, so we were not keen to cook anything for our main meal of the day. Fresh-food stocks had been run-down and so we decided that lunch-out was a good way to usher-in our holiday. We decided we should walk the 0.6 of a mile to this lovely café. We hadn’t made a reservation, but it was well-before 13:00 so there was a good chance that we could get a table. Fortunately, although the café was very busy, we were able to do just that. We took some time to study the menu and the specials board; but although tempted by the all-day breakfasts, and one or two of the ‘Daily Bites’ (particularly the ‘Cajun & Sundried Tomato Beef Burger’), we both opted for the same special plate. This was the ‘Creamy mustard garlic chicken with bacon pieces, spinach and new potatoes.’ After placing our orders we sat and chatted and people-watched, whilst my Partner had a really great Americano coffee (with hot milk). I enjoyed a ‘Mango Mania’ smoothie, the latter was excellent; so refreshing! As it was busy, it took some time for our food-orders to arrive, but the plates were well-worth the wait. The chicken and the potatoes in the flavoured cream sauce was excellent, and served with really lovely fresh sprigs of thyme. This was a delicate dish and although much enjoyed we agreed that we would have been a little more generous with the mustard; a personal preference as we do like strong flavours. The meal was certainly enough for us. Service here is invariably pleasant and efficient, and on this occasion it was ‘business as usual’.

A lovely cafe and a gem in Emersons Green. But, the inability to order at the table is really frustrating. The cafe is understandably very popular and often really busy so there is invariably a little wait for the lovely fresh food. This means the drink you've ordered at the till with your breakfast has gone by the time the food comes out. Not an issue if the waiting staff could take a further drinks order at the table when they deliver the food, but for some reason they don't offer that service. So you're left with the option of either just eating with no drink, or re-joining the queue to order another drink and watching your breakfast go cold. This is a relatively minor point and is intended as constructive criticism rather than a gripe. The food, service and atmosphere are otherwise lovely. I just think tightening up this quick fix would make the cafe even better.

My wife is a regular here for breakfast and has nothing but praise for it so we tried it out on an evening with two other couples. I don't think the name does it justice as I had visions of it being a standard cafe but it is more like a pub / restaurant. It is very tastefully decorated, modern and clean. On the night we went they had live music, a guitarist / singer, who was very good but because of this the place was full. The staff were great but probably short on numbers as the service was a quite slow. However, the food, we all had tapas at 3 dishes for £18, was very good and overall was a very good evening. If the service had been quicker then I would have probably stretched to a 5 star. Will go back.

This, our local café, normally closes in the late-afternoon about 17:00 this time of year; but occasionally it opens-up on a Friday evening, until late, to provide a tapas evening with live music. These are occasions which we try to support as much as we can. Tonight was the latest of three such events that we have enjoyed supporting; it was also the last of the, I believe, four summer events have been held. The format, was as before, to stagger table reservation times to allow the kitchen to efficiently produce plates to order. This reservation system helps avoid what could be bottlenecks, that would surely result, if too many orders flood in at the more-popular times. The menu is the same for all of these events; our preferences were again to the fore for certain plates, as follows: Chicken Skewers - Greek style marinaded with yoghurt. Vegetable Spring Rolls with sweet chilli dip - crispy, crunchy rolls filled with savoury mix of vegetables. Lamb kofta balls with tzatziki dip. Patatas Bravas - crispy potatoes in a salsa brava with a creamy aioli. Skin-on fries. It was once-again a much enjoyed meal and, on this occasion, we had invited my Son to join us. He really enjoyed the plates and the atmosphere. Wine: we chose a bottle of the ‘Definition Pinot Grigio’ from north-eastern Italy: very complex and much-enjoyed: excellent. This bottle was my Son’s contribution to the evening (apart from, of course, his company). We followed that with a bottle of the ‘Pringle Bay’ Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape, South Africa: this was very good; wonderfully refreshing. My Partner and I paid for that one! Wine here is not too expensive, especially bearing in mind the quality. A note to say that the Patatas Bravas plate was excellent on this occasion, because the potatoes were indeed crispy. Our favourite plate, for all three of us, was however the ‘Vegetable Spring Rolls’. These were absolutely fabulous, such a great texture. If this plate was regularly featured on the menu, I am sure it would be a very popular choice. The provision of a sweet chilli dipping sauce is a masterpiece of culinary inspiration. The music for all of these events was a duo singing covers of popular songs accompanied by acoustic guitars. They use guitar mics to amplify the music an their vocals. On previous occasions the band have not been too loud; sadly tonight they were. There were times that we couldn’t hear each other speak, and my Partner had to twice ask the band to tone it down. There is a time and place for loud music and this wasn’t it.

Our second visit to this excellent local café / restaurant for their Friday night event with live music. Tonight we were sat in the rear dining-area of the café. Tables here appeared not to be too tightly packed, probably because (unlike the last visit to a Friday night event here) the conservatory was opened-up this evening. We were a tad early for our reservation, but tables are ‘yours for the night’. Reservation times are staggered in which to allow the kitchen to promptly get orders cooked and out to tables. Whilst we waited we ordered a bottle of the ‘Definition Pinot Grigio’ from north-eastern Italy. This complex Pinot was excellent, and very much enjoyed. The amplified acoustic duo had commenced their first set; their selection of gently played songs was entirely suitable for the occasion. Generally people applauded after each song, so it was obvious that people were listening-to and enjoying their performance. We studied the “Small Plates” (Tapas) menu and after a short while we were invited to place our food order, so we chose: Hummus and tzatziki with pitta bread Chicken Skewers - Greek style marinaded with yoghurt (2 servings) Garlic King Prawns - garlic butter, parsley, lemon on toasted crouton (2 servings) Vegetable Spring Rolls - crispy, crunchy rolls filled with savoury mix of vegetables (2 servings) Lamb kofta balls with tzatziki dip (2 servings) Skin-on fries For dessert we chose: Baklava with cream and pistachios (for my Partner) Chocolate Brownie with Marshfield ice cream and salted caramel sauce (for myself) The meal was excellent and the tapas met or exceeded expectations particularly the chicken skewers and the lamb koftas. Surprisingly my favourite plate tonight, and bearing in mind I am a confirmed meat-eater, was the Vegetable Spring Rolls. They were just so refreshing; having a moist crunchy texture. Favourites indeed, so-much-so that, when it came towards the end of our meal, my Partner couldn’t find room to finish one of her two remaining plates. So, either a chicken skewer or a vegetable spring roll had to be eaten-up (such a hardship for me). I chose the spring roll! It is a special plate, especially with every bite dipped into the hot sweet chilli dip; just sublime. The desserts were good, but I wouldn’t order the Brownie again; it wasn’t gooey enough. Service was excellent and we were well looked after by our cheerful and lively waiter.

My family and I did have one of our best evenings ever with amazing food, drink and life music. The Avenue team created a wonderful atmosphere during their Mediterranean tapas event. We can't wait to attend the next one. Regards Thorsten The Helpers'Hands Clinic

I really like the place. It's got a nice vibe. We went there for tapas. The staff were great and the food choices were more for vegetarians as there were only couple of meat options. I tallied up the bill roughly in my head and was shocked by how much more it cost for what we received. It cost £9 for two Shandy's. The food was overrated and overpriced and I'm writing this review because I'm still annoyed a week later. I'll probably only go there again for coffee but not for a meal.

This café normally only opens during the daytime, but currently opens on Friday evenings. Very occasionally the café hold special events on Friday evenings. When this happens the café is transformed into a delightful restaurant, with live music. The popularity of the events is such, that you need to book as soon as you learn about them. We were very pleased to be able to dine here this evening, and arriving promptly at 20:20 we found that we were seated at a table right in-front of ‘the band’. This wasn’t a problem as the band were an acoustic duo, and the amplification was not too loud. We did feel a bit like honoured guests as we took our seats (the last two available) and then the band commenced to play. Tonight it was a Small Plates menu (a.k.a. Tapas) and a good selection to choose-from too. Pricing was very reasonable at £6.95 per plate or £18 for 3 plates. After deliberation and debate we selected: Bread and Olives Garlic King Prawns - garlic butter, parsley, lemon on toasted crouton (2 servings) Chicken Skewers - Greek style marinaded with yoghurt (2 servings) Lamb kofta balls with tzatziki dip (2 servings) Vegetable Spring rolls - crispy, crunchy rolls filled with savoury mix of vegetables Mozzarella, tomato and basil salad with a balsamic drizzle Patatas Bravas - crispy potatoes in a salsa brava with a creamy aioli We didn’t order sides of rice or fries; a wise decision as we had chosen-well, and were well-fed by the time we finished. We took dessert; with both of us having an Affogato using a single scoop of the delicious Marshfield Ice Cream and excellent coffee: strong, bitter and caramel flavoured. Wine: we chose a bottle of the ‘Pringle Bay’ Sauvignon Blanc (a steal at £22) from the Western Cape, South Africa, and later I had a large glass of ‘Definition Pinot Grigio’ from north-eastern Italy. Both wines were very much enjoyed, the Pringle Bay was very good and very refreshing. Of the two wines I thought the complex Pinot was excellent; in fact it was the best Pinot I have tasted in a very long time (if ever). Of the plates we had chosen the chicken skewers vied with the lamb koftas for being my personal favourite. My Partner really enjoyed the prawns (albeit the croutons were a tad soggy). We both really enjoyed the veggie spring rolls; they provided a good texture change. I didn’t have any bread and olives, or the mozzarella (but I stole some of the balsamic glaze from the latter). On the flipside we found the Patatas Bravas was neither crispy or spicy enough.

Very nice venue, staff friendly, but food was not as good as we have had before. For a change I had Bubble and Squeak with Streaky Bacon and 2 Poached eggs. This this dish was so bland with really hard slices of bacon and not a true bubble & squeak. It was too dry and was just based on chopped up pan fried potatoes and no veg or seasoning. I left some in the end as could not digest. Didn't complain at time as did not want to spoil my wifes experience. Please review this dish as its not bubble and squeak.

Had eggs florentine and asked for granary bread instead of a muffin, they were very obliging. As usual was delicious. Lots mums & babies which is because it's a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Always a nice experience ☺️

I hired Avenue out privately for a surprise party for my mums 60th. The venue, food and drinks were so well received by the guests and the ladies hosting couldn’t have been anymore accommodating. My mum had the best time, thank you so much!

So sorry to say the quality of the food today was very poor. Our first 3 orders good. The last two very poor. Hardly any fish in the overcooked batter and chips were hard and dry. Not worth the £25 I paid at all!
