Very very bad service, one of the staff came to our table and shouted if we aren’t going to buy anything we have to leave. The tone of voice was disgusting!! Give us a chance to sit down and discuss what we will order!!!? Terrible terrible place.

The location and the interior is nice, quiet, and comfortable. Unfortunately the service and the drinks don't follow. I ordered a frappé and a cold coffee. The lid for the coffee wasn't good, didn't keep the coffee inside. The frappé was too smooth and kept moving around like a melted coffee. The cook was cooking hot food on a hot surface. They had a tong with yellow plastic sitting fully on the hot surface, melting the plastic right on top with the food... Highly recommend going elsewhere.

I have always considered Boswells a first class company, with a very good selection of high quality food for sale. But I was very disappointed to go too the Kingswood branch, to buy three White chocolate and Raspberry muffins. To find that two of the three muffins were absolutely rank and extremely stale, what a let down.

I was 5 mins away from 8 am. Doors open was told to get out. Not in a kind way as to say sorry were not open jist yet. but in a rude aggressive manner.Thought this was a one off came back bit later. My table was dirty. Staff were rude. Asked to speak to a manager no one came. There are many cafes in kingswood with much better care. I will not be back to Boswells sadly.

I asked for salad on my (very pricey) baguette, the picture showing the sum total of salad I recieved xD I also asked for butter and sauce, which it had neither. When I politely explained this to the staff, I was given a sachet of butter and basically told to do it myself. So I had to sit down and get it out of the takeaway wrapping and do their job for them. Even without these issues I think this place is very overpriced, and fairly low quality

Stopped off in boswells for a quick drink with my daughter and grandad. 3 staff members were working and service was initially quite slow (to be served) however everyone working was busy making food/drinks and doing table service so it was understandable that it took a little longer than expected. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. I won't lie, it's pretty pricey, our 3 drinks - strawberry and banana smoothie, vanilla milkshake with cream! and a hot chocolate - cost approximately £14. The only slightly negative comment I'd have would be the smoothie was pretty bland tasting, but the others were lovely and well presented. We didn't eat but the food looked and smelt delicious! We visited around 11.30am and while there is limited inside seating, we found a table straight away and everything was clean and comfortable. There is extra seating outside for those warmer days. All in all a pleasant visit :)

However when it did it looked amazing and was at a decent temperature. It tasted amazing. The shop was busy but the atmosphere was relaxed and chilled. There was clearly locals that were regulars and greeted warmly by the staff.

I usually go there with no issues but, I went this afternoon and waited nearly an hour for my food to only find out they forgot about my order. Wasted nearly an hour of my time! Was offered a free drink but still was not worth nearly an hour of wasted time. Time is money! Should have gotten my money back and given a full free meal.

Can't believe they have increased prices again. A cup of tea has gone up again by 25p to £2.50 for a cuppa. I go there every week but won't be anymore. I can get the same for £1.50 in a well known pub down the road from them and that includes a refill. Disgusting as the staff change every 5 minutes and are really slow.

Food was good staff seem nice but the system to place an order is backwards. You move all the way down to the till to then place an order with just one member of staff. Then get your drink in my case coffee from the same poor staff member. And wait quite a long time whilst someone else goes flys out the kitchen and makes it back up by the front door. I’d drank my take away coffee by the time food was made. Stood Waiting by the till. Also prams seem to restrict your space to wait. Bit of a rabbit hole this place

I have always loved Boswells breakfast but I have noticed poor customer service recently and thought this was due to the cafe being a busy one. I have had my order (extra toast) forgotten on two occasions recently but today was the height of it. My food was served by a lady with black hair and black head band, and as I was eating I found black hair in my food (see pictures). I let her know and she said she will speak to her manager, shortly after a lady came and dropped some cash on my table without any word, I said I do not want the money and she walked out!! No apology or comment, I do not need the money, your staff should be careful when preparing food, I wanted to offer advise that those preparing food should consider a hair net but no one wanted to listen or have a conversation. I left the money on the table and left. You have lost a customer and although it may not make a difference to your business, I will not tolerate this.

Always very friendly, polite and welcoming, as are all the branches I've ever visited (eg The Galleries in town). (Plus the two girls serving were very patient this morning when I was scrabbling around in my rucksack looking for loose change to pay with!). Good variety of food. Only drawback is, as another customer said, sometimes I can't get a seat when it's really packed because it is so popular. Personally Boswells is my favourite coffee shop in Kingswood. They do nice chai lattes, which I have as an occasional treat.

Nice food and drink options (hot and cold), I can confirm there coffee and full english breakfast is very nice indeed. Staff are friendly and helpful Pricing is a little high but it is worth the extra cost. I do wish the cafe was a bit bigger because it does get very busy in there due to its popularity but there isnt anything that can be done about that... During good weather periods you can seat outside which is nice to do some people watching and just let the busy shopping area carry on bustling by while you enjoy a nice tea/coffee and a nice cake.... what more could you possibly want from a cafe.... a coffee to takeaway as your in a hurry I hear you think... they have you covered takeaway is also an option for a lot of what they offer. So would I recommend Boswells? In short yes there is nothing wrong with any aspect of product or service... are there better options I suppose it depends if cost or branding play a part in your decision.... yes there are other options e.g costa coffee... subway... wetherspoons... Gregg's... Parsons bakery to name the biggest options... personally I would recommend trying Boswells worst case you return to a big brand name best case you have found your new place to go in kingswood... medium ground you go there to treat yourself for a change.

We were staying local to the pub after popping in Friday evening, we had to go back for dinner on the Saturday. It was truly fantastic honest homemade food, the scotch egg was up there with one of the best I’ve had. Then having the pie of the day it set the bar even higher, couldn’t fault anything about our experiences there and certainly added to our weekend away. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing.
