Better Food Cafe in Bristol, City of

Went in for a coffee and cake mid week. Despite not being busy at all the lady serving took ages, served the coffee which was barely hot enough ages before the croissant and did so with a face like thunder. They really give the impression that they are doing you a big favour in serving you.

Este lugar tiene una gran selección de artículos que no están fácilmente disponibles en las tiendas principales, y su café es fantástico para arrancar. El único inconveniente es que es costoso, pero tal vez eso sea una función del hecho de que sus artículos no son ampliamente transportados y son caros para que compren porque el volumen no está allí para reducir los costos (en lugar de solo marcarlos arriba mucho).

He estado en este lugar muchas veces. Aunque la comida en la cafetería generalmente es bastante buena, el servicio es muy lento. La tienda tiene una selección razonable de productos orgánicos, pero a un precio excesivo. Tristemente, hoy experimenté, no por primera vez, a un miembro del personal muy arrogante y sarcástico en el proceso de pago. Decidí no seguir adelante con mi compra. Parece que el personal es, en el mejor de los casos, distante, complaciente y desinteresado con los clientes, y, en el peor, francamente grosero. Este lugar definitivamente le da al mundo de los alimentos orgánicos un muy mal nombre.

Ha sido muy frío y, sin embargo, la selección disponible gira en torno a la ensalada. Todo es comida de buena calidad y bien preparada, pero no creo que la selección haya cambiado alguna vez, lo cual es una decepción teniendo en cuenta los increíbles platos calientes y de confort que se ofrecen en los alrededores de Bristol en estos días. El servicio ha mejorado mucho, tal vez demasiado. Nuestra sopa y platos principales llegaron todos al mismo tiempo! Aquí hay un ambiente encantador, pero lamentablemente me saltearé este café para el almuerzo a partir de ahora. La comida es un poco aburrida.

Un lugar muy relajado para disfrutar el almuerzo. Nunca voy a ganar ningún premio por el diseño de interiores, pero las mesas son funcionales, el personal es amable aunque un poco desorganizado, y la comida es muy buena. El sistema de ordenamiento es un poco confuso, pero nada peor para eso. Si eres verde y ecológico, este es el lugar para ti

Liked the look and feel of the place. The freshly made juices were amazing plus nice coffee. Avocado on toast was delicious as was the scrambled egg, bacon and mushroom on toast. A bit of a mix up with the sourdough toast - but staff were lovely and provided another coffee on the house. Nicely stocked shop too.

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. Food was good and lots of choice for veggie. Portion sizes were good, but served on very small plates, so food was crowded. Not the cheapest place around and very informal, with bench seating and sit up counter. They could do with sorting out the way they serve the food. Not clear where you queue or how it works, and thus very inefficient. But if you want something a little different from the usual fare, don’t mind paying a few quid extra, £33 form 3 for lunch with tea and coffee and are not that fussed about the surroundings then would recommend. Take away looked good.

Went on a Saturday. The blonde guy seemed to constantly walk in from of people, without excusing himself and the blonde girl behind the food counter refused to speak, respond to being thanked 3 times, and refused to get us any utensils despite the fact that she had to pass then to go back behind the serving counter. The foods are over-priced, including supplements and 'health' drinks. Maybe, being mean, moody and (not so) magnificent is the way to run these stores. It appears that customers are more of a burden. I hope the management explains that people on my side are the prophet and the other side is the overheads. No atmosphere...perhaps this is the new 'zen' approach to customers...totally blank them and never demonstrate good manners. Our first, and last, time here.

I went in for lunch to treat my partner as she loves vegetarian food and even though the food was pleasant the portion size was terribly small, I left feeling disappointed and still hungry.

Years ago, when this site first changed usage from the prooving house, I dipped in to the food shop that took up residence and wasn't too impressed. I live in Easton and it was easier to stick to the well-established Bristol Sweet Mart. But I've always had the place in the back of my mind, wondering how it was doing and whether it would appeal. Well today I stopped by on my way from LP hunting up on Gloucester Road and I had a ball! Back in the day, the Sweet Mart was the only place to go for certain ingredients, now considered main-stream and available in all the supermarkets, including the discounters... I thinking here about spices breads and veg like ginger garlic and aubergine! So the need to go to BSM for "world food" basics has faded... and Better Food reminded me of the sort of ethos that BSM used to have - I walked in and pottered round for about an hour after which I thought, "Bingo! - this is it! This is a shop I can come to with a dinner-party shopping list and go through the card! " Lovely meat, lovely cheeses, great veg. - even good-quality booze - and good space between the aisles, too! OK, my first shop came out a bit dearer than I expected, but I did buy a posh re-useable hessian shopping bag, as well as bottle of white wine north of a tenner, so I can't complain! I will be back to try the very tempting range of astisan cheeses. I suspect I may become a frequent visitor...

I went here with my family after visiting the SS Great Britain and we ordered Scotch egg with couscous and butter beans with humous and it was scrummy! Not what I usually eat but I would've happily had another plate of it. For afters, I had lemon sorbet ice cream and gluten free chocolate cookie and they were also scrummy. To sum up, I had a top class meal and I'd go there again next time I visit Bristol. Well done Better food cafe!

I think the food is really good value, my gripe is the service is really, really slow, very pleasant and polite staff but achingly slow. If you've got an hour to kill and fancy a nice breakfast and a coffee, do it, if like me you haven't got an hour to waste on a weekday morning, find somewhere else but for a Saturday or Sunday its hard to beat. The service in the supermarket is also slow but if you can be bothered to wait thats also really good value.

I need to preface this review by saying I love the better food company. It's products are great quality and I would recommend it whole heartedly however... I am so disappointed by the new redesign of the cafe which has all the cakes out on the counter. I watched as a myriad of customers' sleeves, cardigans and bags knocked the food and it made my stomach turn. It seems like really poor practice in terms of hygiene and infection control. Argh! Please change this so I can enjoy your cakes again!

We've eaten here most weeks this year – its food is a little bit variable in quality but is well worth a visit. And an excellent organic shop with a big choice of produce.

Gentrification has ups and downs. Rising house prices will drive out many existing residents and having a nice local organic cafe is probably not going to to do much to make up for this. However, ignoring the politics, we had a healthy lunch of salad and a special pork stew. I had the stew which was sort of tasty but I had to add some salt and pepper when I thought no one was looking. Not cheap at £16.45 (inc coffee) but I hope and expect that the staff are paid a living wage at least.

I love local shops and it's great to have this on the high street. Better Food have three locations now, here, Whiteladies rd and now their new edition on the Harbourside- Goal Ferry steps. If I'm honest, this is my least favourite location, they've recently...

Four of us popped in on Saturday for drinks and cakes - nice selection of both on offer and staff were friendly and efficient. We also enjoyed browsing round the supermarket (coming away with several 'treats' for ourselves!) and are very excited to have this...

This review is for the new cafe in Wapping Wharf not the St Werburgn's one. It is new and I think has a few teething troubles; the service is not quite there yet and the speed of the meal was a bit slow for a...

Overpriced for what you get but it is nice food and the service is slow and very offhand. The other customers might have all day to 'hang around' but I don't, had to remind the staff several times that I'd been waiting 30mins and I...

I LOVE the food at the Better Food café, first of all it is in the most excellent Whole, Organic and Fair Trade food supermarket in Bristol, where you can buy real food that can save a planet and keep it in agricultural trade, but...

I do love the food here and they have started doing lovely juices. The food is all organic but I find it very expensive. I do not mind paying money for good quality food however the staff could be a little more welcoming.

You know this place is good for you from the minute you walk in the door - it has that aroma of health food shops. It's a really interesting place - the cafe being just one part of the larger shop which is well worth...

Out for a walk around St Werberghs and Eastville I decided to look for the Better Food Cafe. I had been taken here a few years ago and wasn't sure that I could retrace my steps. I found it! best decaf cappuccino I have tasted...

I'm fed up of coming here to find the cafe is hopeless. There aren't any menus and it's chaos. The day I went the dishwasher had packed up so no glasses, cutlery or crockery. Couldn't have any water and no vegan cake for sale, as...

Often come here as my healthy alternative when going out for walks in the summer. I always buy from the Deli selection, usually getting an onion bhaji heated up to go with my salad, which is hit or miss depending on the salad selection on...

I always come here expecting a good meal but end up disappointed. Vegan choices are limited, no menus when I went, dirty tables, no water in the jugs. I know one day I will get a satisfying tasty vegan meal. Come on BF, I know...

We arrived at about 12:30 to find they had run out of salad, they sell salad in the adjoining shop! The presentation of the food was dire and portion size small although it was flavoursome. Service was poor and it took a number of attempts...

The food and service is excellent. Their environmental standards are superb and the food is mostly organic. Always special diet options are available. Great place to meet.

A Trustafarian Supermarket that patronises the original working class Bristolian residents of St. Werburghs and St. Pauls, who certainly can't afford / or want to shop here, with its £3.75 cartons of organic orange juice, and "Up the Junction/down with the common people" attitude...

The quality of the coffee, lunches and cake is generally very good, it has a nice atmosphere, the staff are friendly and it's part of one of the best organic shops in the city. However the menu is pricy even if it is organic and...
