Cafe 96 in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place ,friendly and helpful staff

Great breakfast, even better coffee, spotlessly clean, staff service amazing, but watching from afar, what struck me most was how genuine, kind and caring the young men working here were to some of their regular elderly and disabled customers. Refreshing to see.

Popped in for some lunch after going to the optician. I ordered a tea and a prawn sandwich on brown bread. The sandwich was delicious. It was on brown seeded bread with lots of fresh prawns and some lettuce. There was enough tea for 2 cups. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. I will definitely go back.

Visited this coffee place by chance. I must say I couldn’t fault the food. The small breakfast was larger than expected and at £8.95 was very good value for money! My eggs benedict with bacon was very tasty and well cooked. The staff were efficient and polite. Will definitely be back!

£3.20 and £3.50 for a decaf and herbal tea, most expensive tea I've had in Bristol. Garden area nice until staff member sat down on the table next to us for a smoke.

I love this place. The young boy serves me the lunch every morning with a big smile. Definitely recommend visiting it.

Staff were both rude, didn’t understand English enough to do me the right drink. I asked for a flat white and they gave me a latte. As I am a Barista I explained the difference which neither of them understood and they tried to fill the latte they had given me more. Both staff then gave me attitude ended up walking away with no drink, as they could not understand anything I was saying. I did ask for a refund as they were both rude to me and made it clear they did not understand what I was saying. I visited at 16:40 22/5.

Great food, lovely staff and huge glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Good food at a reasonable price. Quick friendly service.

The cake was tiny for its price and the coffee was not bad I suppose.

It's really very cheap ingredients at a premium price. Sausages of this quality aren't acceptable in a full English at this price! Staff are helpful

Great food and lovely coffees. Staff are friendly all in all a great place to go to grab a bite to eat.

Courgette and pepper wiv veggie breaky… nah Good coffee, nice staff

Stopped in for a toastie and a panini with chips with my boyfriend. Great food with lovely friendly personable service. I dont believe the owner was in today - but the staff running the show definately had it sorted perfectly. From the chef to the young lad serving us. The Orange/Lemon - Lemon/Orange cake was absolutely lush. Fantastic little lunch had by us. Cheers all. :)

A good local cafe serving a variety of snacks, light meals, cakes, teas and coffees. Vegetarian options but not much for vegans. Tables indoors and on the pavement, and a clean unisex toilet. Good central location to observe life in Henleaze. Prices reasonable.

Lovely food, great service, good prices. 👍

had some coffee and cake here, brilliant.

Sadly,the serving assistant, didn't understand about hand hygiene and sneezed into his hands and carried on serving, and he looked shocked when I asked him if he was going to wash his hands. The owner( I think) did insist that he go and wash his hands before serving anyone else. One cafe I won't be using again.

Always love going here, definitely recommend the Chicken and Pesto jacket potato!

A traditional coffeeshop and café with table service. The staff are friendly and the food is good.

Friendly service, nice breakfast and coffee.

First time at cafe 96 very nice breakfast traditional and vegetarian option good price and friendly service definitely recommend

Owner was rude with bad customer service skills! Food wasn’t great had to send one dish back the rest was average at best such a shame! Went away feeling ripped off !

Nice staff but soup was so watery I couldn't eat it. Friendly environment.

Great little cafe, fabulous staff and lovely food, highly recommended great value for money, stopped for lunch Jacket potatoes were good size and lovely salad as well

What a lovely find, wonderful staff and lovely food couldn’t be more happy to help 😊

Great little cafe, often too busy for their own good. Quieter if you avoid the lunch rush.

As always, such a friendly atmosphere coupled with excellent service.

Great place if you can get a seat, lovely people.

Lovely cafe for both great food and excellent pot of tea. Just the place for a rest when you're out shopping!

I wanted to write a review for this cafe in Bristol because I have had a number of visits here now, and every time we're always made welcome (nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are always polite) the food is consistently excellent. I cannot rate the Veg. Breakfast highly enough. Eggs cooked to perfection and the mixes veg is a lovely touch. top marks for Cafe 96

We had lunch here and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks were great and arrived very quickly. The food they serve was just what we were looking for, paninis, all day breakfast, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and more

It's so friendly and the food is delicious. They now have excellent free WiFi as well.

Had a bit of a wait for the food bit when it came it was very delicious and very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back again

Love this cafe it's so calm, great place to get a little coffee and read a book

Very nice independent coffee shop. The homemade brownies were very nice!

I had the opportunity to meet someone at café 96 for a breakfast which was freshly made and was delicious as usual Great place to meet for coffee, breakfast and quick meetings - as a little area tucked away if you wish to be more private The sun comes in the afternoon and there is seating outside

Nice relaxed and friendly vibe at this place. Decent coffee and hot chocolate, nicely served - cut above Costa. my only gripe was the staff didn't know the Wi-Fi password.

Our cafe of choice in the area.

Nice food and really lovely, friendly service. The staff went out of way to be helpful.

Been here 7 times, gets better every time. Very welcoming and excellent breakfast.

Quick Google search for a cafe whilst in the area and found this place. Very nice cafe, the food is excellent and so is the service. Nice comfy chairs, very clean, tidy and I like the decor. Will definitely be coming back again !

Lovely place, good breakfasts and good menu choice. Staff so welcoming and friendly.

Very friendly staff , good food

Visiting the area to catch up with a friend who lives in Henleaze. A lovely lunch. I had a tuna panini and my partner had the soup. Both delicious! Really friendly , attentive staff . Highly recommend. Thank you 😀

My friend has been here lots of times and recommended it so we stopped here as we were in the area. You order at the bar and you can either pay then or have a tab if your going to order extra drinks or dessert. It was after the lunch period but still quite busy. Food arrived quickly and was lovely and hot. We both enjoyed and would both visit again.

May gives such a wonderful welcome, and recognised me from when my parents were regulars (many years back now). Great selection of breakfasts & lunches - the baked sweet potato with bacon & mozzarella is a family favourite. Always worth looking at the Specials board too on your way in. Very helpful with tricky dietary needs - they even prepped the kitchen before cutting gluten-free cake to avoid cross-contamination! Great place for family get-togethers or a quiet catch-up with a friend.

Don’t be put off by the outside of this cafe because inside it’s quite something else in Art Deco style , Great menu choice and specials for Xmas, a cheeky glass of vino with lunch is a great addition.

Second visit for us, didn't disappoint, breakfasts are cooked to high standard and good value, friendly efficient service would highly recommend

Nice place to eat staff very welcoming .Good variety of food I go there with friends regularly.

I ordered a vegetarian panini, and was brought a bacon one which I only discovered after biting into it. The panini was also meant to come with chips but they had run out. There was no apology for either of these things, they wouldn't give me a refund. The staff were rude and dismissive. Overpriced food. Avoid this place - go to condi brasserie down the road - the food is much better and a better price.

First visit and a harsh score I admit, though you will see why. The coffee and food (a cheese and bacon croissant) were good but service was lacking. Though smiley and friendly the staff seemed poorly informed as to how to attend customers. This must be as a result of poor training by the owner/manager and therefore no blame should be laid on the staff. Shame as it is a great location and worthy of more.

This is the only cafe in Henleaze with an outside area - and it is quite pleasant with a large tree next to you. The coffee was fine, and I have only taken off 1 star because the cakes and pastries were uncovered and exactly where people stand to order and pay. Not wanting food that had been breathed and coughed over, I had to give that a miss.

Good food. Hot coffee and excellent service.

Indoor and outdoor seating by roadside but comfortable for breakfast. Tasty english breakfast and pleasant service.

Friendly staff and quick service. Very good quality coffee as well

Visited this local café for an all day breakfast when it is allowed to sit inside (from May 17th 2021) Great all day breakfast - on proper plates and with proper cutlery Done to order- all fresh - baked beans in a small dish Fresh tomato to a generous size Great food

Good food, great prices, can't complain

Lovely cafe. Very friendly. Great food.

Well trained taxi driver felt safe and as solo traveller would recommend every time to solo women or families

Well organised for Covid and great food and drink.

5 stars to this local of mine. Always a kind hospitable way I have found. Bar the very rare normal human imperfections. Today arrived late on and thought as many a cafe, they would likely be ready to shift off and being a bit grumpy that I was near closing time. Not at all...served me at the table outside no fuss to save Covid risks inside. Promptly a lovely lemonade and tops kind service. I have come here over the last 5+ years and I find it very good and would recommend others to try out. The coffee might not be quite so fine as other more specialists coffee cafes of 2020. At times I have found the coffee a little on the poor side. But lovely food and all sorts generally and a nice sunny aspect for most of the day. After first thing. Recommend you might at least try this cafe if you think to try it out...here in Henleaze main road. By the number 2 bus stop opposite Boots.

Lovely cafe with delicious food. Service was excellent. Lovely coffee too. Would recommend.

It’s always good to find and independent amongst the chains. There is a good choice of good and drinks on the menu. The food is freshly prepared and arrived after a short wait

Great everything...service food ambience..

This cafe was once a favourite of mine, but it has changed hands a couple of times. I found it unwelcoming. We had to send back our sausages because they weren’t cooked properly. The tea went cold quickly, so I took it back. When I went to pay, they didn’t have a printed bill, so I asked what I had been charged for. They tried to charge me for two extra pots of tea, but I challenged them, saying that the first pot went cold too quickly! I won’t be rushing back.

Used this on a Tuesday morning for an all day breakfast and it was excellent - great filling breakfast that keeps you going all day and nicely presented Small tables - order at the counter and pay before you leave. Some tables are outside, as long as the weather is nice No 2 bus stops straight outside A table for 4 or 5 is tucked away if you want something a bit more private - a working breakfast Staff are polite an prices are very reasonable

Turned my veggie breakfast into a vegan breakfast no problem. Food and coffee is excellent

Went in with friends today for lunch, most excellent, we had great food from the specials board (changes daily), there is also an extensive full time menu of jackets, panini’s, sandwich’s with large range of fillings. Really friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

This cafe continues to offer a very keenly priced lunch menu. For £11.99 you can opt for a drink (beer, wine or non alcoholic), a 'special', a piece of cake and tea or coffee. I opted for a special of a salad with hot chicken and bacon; it was delicious. The cafe opens at 8.30am and the full English breakfast remains on offer throughout the day. This is an opportunity to support a local independent business.

Great lunch. Super clean cutlery and glasses, warm welcome. Well done!

Friendly staff, quick service and cosy.

Friendly cafe, with covered seating outside.

This great local café (Café 96) which is at 96 Henleaze Road - suitable for a drink and snacks, full English or just a drink Great for a short business meeting or catching up with friends Seating inside and out (great for a nice day) Order and pay at the counter and the food is bought to you Prices are reasonable and not part of a chain and good to use an independent store Friendly staff and well presented

Very good choice menu...not high prices clean and welcoming...well worth a visit

Excellent warm welcome and service, very clean, good choice on menu, good size portions, and well priced. Cakes delicious. I was well impressed and will be returning, I would recommend

Great local independent café that is not a chain and is well supported by locals. Called in for the traditional English breakfast and a cup of tea and it was the full works and was well prepared Ordered at the counter and bought to the tables There are tables outside for when the weather is nice Right by the Number 2 bus stop (operated by First) I have used this for business meetings and have been able to tuck ourselves away in a corner It is also incredibly good value for money

Wide choice of sandwiches and fillings.Amounts of fillings generous. Good choice of drinks, coffee better than some other places including cafes in big stores.

Extremely friendly and very efficient staff place is always spotlessly clean. No problem in recommending using Cafe 96

It’s rare to get a full English breakfast where everything is cooked to perfection but that what I just ate! Delicious I will definitely be coming back. Friendly welcoming staff and reasonable prices too.

Nice coffee and excellent, friendly service.

A gem of a cafe. It's retro without trying or contriving, the staff are brilliant and the coffee machine is a work of art. Please don't ever change it.

Just had a lovely bacon and cheese jacket potato. Friendly warm place.

Terrible WiFi and expensive. 2.50 for a peppermint tea.

Food and service are great always go here for coffee every day. Would not change it for anything

A top breakfast for £6.50. Really nice latte, not a bitter one! Friendly staff and clean - that's the cafe, not the staff. Although they looked clean as well.....can heartily recommend!

Great Cafe. Just for a coffee or Breakfast, Lunch or a snack.. Its in Henleaze High Street close to the local shops and on the bus route from the City Centre.

Had such a lovely vegetarian breakfast here! Should have taken a photo when it arrived but it looked so good I just tucked in straight away before I even thought about it! The breakfast was a very generous size, not oily at all, and bursting with delicious veg! You could tell even the veggie sausage was freshly made, amazing value at a reasonable price of £6.50, would highly recommend :)

Esta es una pequeña cafetería independiente que se usa mucho por los lugareños. Tiene una oferta especial para el almuerzo donde obtienes una copa de vino, cerveza o refresco, una selección del menú de especialidades, un dulce y café por solo 11. 95 por persona, personal muy amable.

Just had the breakfast and I will be back - it was really good. Wifey had the goats cheese salad and that was really good too. Thanks :)

Absolute rubbish. Long waits, mediocre food and terrible coffee

Avoid like the plague,useless 50 minutes to cook a panini and a jacket potato the waiter kept telling us the food will be ready in 2 minutes everyone was complaining.didnt even get an apology.

Really shoddy service. Told food would be ready in 15 mins when it actually took 45 mins. When asked where food was waiter kept saying just two more minutes. Jacket potatoe was not even hot when it came out.

Good food with a wide selection, many specials that change frequently. Prices are very reasonable and good friendly service. Lunchtimes can be very busy as there are a limited number of tables but if you don't mind a wait you can usually get stable within 20 minutes. Tables generally sit two to four people wheelchairs, buggies and highchairs can also be accommodated.

Fantastic Cafe with all of the staff giving excellent service ,i have been calling in for years and all I can say is if you are looking for top class food with 100% service please look no further than the Cafe96.Robin Elms from Stokegifford

Visitamos este café para el desayuno tradicional, que era una gran relación calidad-precio y muy bien preparado y se tomaron pedidos en la mesa y se entregó caliente y fue muy agradable y bueno tener un desayuno cocinado, el lugar era bastante tranquilo por primera vez en el mañana, personal agradable

Este es un café local bien respaldado.

Popped in for a meeting with a colleague, lovely little cafe, friendly staff. Very good flat white, but the cake .... Ginger, lemon and crumble slice was simply fantastic
