Cafe Du Jour in Bristol, City of

Just went here to meet a group of my colleagues for something to eat and was told that they were doing takeaway only .I asked if they had changed the closing time as it was only 3pm and she replied that they were closing early as it had been quiet ! I ordered a takeaway coffee and phoned friends to change cafe .Photo is of the large cappuccino! Half a cup of cold coffee. Don't bother going here lots more lovely coffee shops close by.

Went here for a late valentines brunch date with my partner. With a lovely atmosphere and tasteful music playing this was the perfect setting for our breakfast. The food was made to order in front of us and tasted delicious! The coffee was excellent. Staff made us feel very welcome and we’re kind and funny. 10/10 would recommend :D

Came into Cafe Du Jour for a visit with a friend, as soon as I walked through the door I was greeted with a very welcoming hi! and friendly smile from the young girl at the register. I ordered coffee and it was brought to the table within 5 minutes. Excellent service and great tasting coffee, will definitely be revisiting.

Overpriced cafe with zero customer service. Food was late & we had to remind the waitress twice of our order. When she finally served it the food was cold and clearly had sat on the kitchen counter for a while. My breakfast looked like someone’s leftovers - 4 small (I mean literally tiny) burnt mushrooms, the fried eggs were almost synthetic looking, my husband’s scrambled eggs were far too runny. The coffee tasted of a foul cigarette butt (disgusting!). We had ordered & paid for a slice of cake which never arrived. On reminding the waitress, she said they were busy and would be served when she gets a chance. 40mins later we gave up and walked out of the cafe - still without our slice of cake that we paid for. If I had seen the reviews earlier I wouldn’t have wasted money & time in this place.

Can’t believe I’m writing this. As I was paying, the waitress/chef dried a side plate with the back of her leopard print leggings and continued to use it to put salmon on for a customer! The food we ordered had many items missing e.g hash browns and mushrooms missing. Scrambled egg was so watery the thought of eating it now makes me want to vomit. Overall, I wish I’d never eaten at this overpriced cafe. The hygiene really needs to be looked out!!!!

Staff bit stroppy and condescending, it’s only a cafe,! Food passable but not outstanding, so much to choose from locally but if nothing else available would give it another try

Sat in the establishment for no more than 20 minutes (with a coffee and breakfast already purchased) before an unhappy waiter tried to pressure us into ordering more. His grumpiness was unsubtly hidden by his passive-aggressive demeanour. Extra star awarded because of my innate respect for the French.

Sat down and ordered a coffee and then 10 minutes later went up to the counter to order a breakfast, spending around a tenner. Apparently this isn’t an acceptable amount to spend for a 20 minute stay as not 2 minutes after I ordered my breakfast, the male waiter (who had already been passive aggressive to my boyfriend who dared to ask for the wifi) came and questioned why I wasn’t ordering anything else. Very patronising and aggressive towards a paying customer. Then, only another 2 minutes later another employee came and pressed me for an order and said she’d been instructed to get me to order something else. I had to go up to check if my earlier order had been put through the till as it was baffling to me that breakfast and a drink wouldn’t be enough, and I got rudely told that it had been. The breakfast itself was a total rip off with three tiny ends of a loaf of bread (clearly they had ran out and failed to replace) and some undercooked scrambled egg. No one else in the cafe was treated with this contempt, and I feel it was on the basis that we were young students. As someone who works in hospitality myself, I understand the pressures waiters face but on a Sunday morning where most the tables in the cafe were empty, there was no excuse for the arrogant manner in which the waiters acted and there was no reason for paying customers to be treated in this way. Overpriced and poor customer care. Don’t come here if you want to be treated with respect.

Sorely disappointed with this place. Long wait time and when arrived bacon was thick and rubbery, and generally the half tomato unimaginatively presented. Dish was very bland and I struggled to eat any. If I am to spend £9 on a bacon and avocado baguette I would expect high quality tasty meat. I don't think they have the right cooking facilities to cater for cooked breakfasts, they were being cooked on one sorry stove behind the counter. In my opinion the food was sub standard.

Nice atmosphere. Good coffee. Very expensive! Coffee, one slice of coffee cake and a fizzy drink £9.50! The drink also stated it was from a multi-pack and not for resale. The coffee price was displayed but not the cake and fizzy drink. Such a shame to overprice/hide prices. We won’t be back.

Arrived around 11:00 on a Sunday and wasnt overly busy at this stage with tables available outside in nice seating area. Clearly new untrained staff but to be expected in theses times. Menu arrived after 15mins and coffee order after further 10mins and delivered after a further 15 mins. No apologies for wait. Food order taken and arrived at 12;20. One table had bacon on the vegan breakfast option and another left after an hours wait for food cancelling their order as they had to get to work. Long queues for coffees with manager shouting at his staff. Food was okay but overpriced for what it was. At least the sun was shining out back and we weren’t in any hurry. No apologies or acknowledgement offered at any time by staff. Hardly a professional cafe. Manager/owner needs a to seriously sort his act out… surprised still in business.

The waiter was lovely but was very clearly understaffed as he was alone serving the entire age, and then only 2 other other members of staff doing all the cooking and drink making. Very long wait for food but apologetic about it. English breakfast was good and good amounts of salmon in other dishes but underwhelming aside from that. Good coffee and tea but also long wait on drinks, pastries and baked good liked good but no vegan options as advertised when we visited. Also menu is very different in person to online, but still had a range of options. Shakshuka had no sauce - was just onions and tomatoes with eggs on top? Also no pesto on one of the toast dishes but not sure whether that was due to misunderstanding when ordering or if it was just forgotten. If we realised how long the wait would be we probably would not have gone there. Definitely need more staff, especially on a bank holiday, as it’s just not fair to have one person serving the entire cafe - wish we had gotten his name as he was lovely. Will probably not come back which is disappointing as the cafe seems like it could be good if fully staffed.

Best breakfast and cafe in Bristol. Today it was just coffee and croissant, but do try my fav which is the cafe du Jour toast- so good.

The staff seemed very friendly and the hot drinks and cakes were very nice. There was also a very well behaved black Labrador which was walking around! (Managers dog?)

Whether you are in Bristol for work or to simply have coffee/brunch with friends and family I highly recommend Cafe Du Jour. They have a great selection of breakfast and lunch options, the coffee is great quality (many places burn the coffee but they don’t!) Staff are always welcoming and relaxed plus if you see the manager (Hassan), don’t forget to say hello to his black lab! If you want an enjoyable, relaxed and friendly environment to enjoy your coffee then this is it.

Thought i would try them out while in town seeing family. The manager(Hasan) was very rude to both us and the staff, with the staff looking very uncomfortable at how they were treated. Had the scrambled eggs which didnt taste right at all. When i...

The owner/manager (Hassan I think) was behaving and speaking towards his staff in an extremely unprofessional and undignified manner. Just awful and not how a business should be run in any capacity. I also overheard a discussion about making scrambled eggs with a milk steamer...

I've been in a few times for a lunch. The first time was a long wait for food, but they were very busy and the food (smoked salmon, avocados, sourdough) was absolutely delicious. The second time I felt so uncomfortable by witnessing the manager shouting...

Freshly made to order food that was so so yummy. Vegan option. Staff was super friendly! Coffee was very good quality aswell. Highly recommended!

We ordered lunch for 2 and the drinks and food were incorrect. When replaced the tea was cold. We were then overcharged as charged for the incorrect drinks. When I raised it, the waitress didn't seem at all bothered. I guess they have enough foot...

Maybe I was just unlucky today and I really don’t like to write negative comments and rarely do but this place was horrible today for breakfast. When the food arrived it was pale and looked like it hadn’t seen much cooking time. The bacon was...

I come here often to do work and get some food and a coffee. The owner is lovely, always remembers what I eat and makes everyone feel at home. The food is so lovely and is all made there and then. Delicious fresh produce. I’m...

Best sunday time ever .friendly staff .really good value .meilleur cafe de bristol and also meilleur cappucino gâteau

Hi I came to Cafe Du Jour one month ago after having frequented the place before and waited half an hour and nobody addressed me. I left. I thought I'd give it another go today. I ordered a cappuccino and got a Latte, the second...

Just had my third visit in the last month to this independent Clifton cafe. It has a good concise menu, the English breakfast is perfect, good ingredients and a perfect size. The coffee is superb and clearly made with passion compared with the chains ‘offering’...

We waited almost 1hour 15 minutes for our food to arrive and watched several people walk out in impatience. The atmosphere was ruined by the manager shouting at his staff and deliveroo drivers, which created a very hostile environment. When I ordered a cafe au...

Went for brunch with my friends at 11:00 this morning, we left at 1 very unhappy with our experience. We were served our drinks 20 minutes after we arrived and our food took an hour to come out. My friends coffee was cold and when...

I went to cafe du jour for brunch during the eat out to help out scheme. When the food was nice my experience was ruined by hearing the manager constantly shouting at his staff and being rude, to the point when i had to ask...

Really bad coffee when asked to remake it as ‘flat white’ owner quite aggressive and bullying the worst coffee and response I’ve ever had. Not the response I expected for pointing out that a £3 cup of coffee was not quite what I’d ordered. Flat...

Highly recommend this place Fabulous decor Spotless Cakes are amazing too! Homemade and delicious First visit as we were passing through Excellent service Exceptional hot food The waiter was great, his first day! But lovely people skills! Well done everyone 👍

The service was slow and not very helpful. The food was ok, however I was served cake which was past its best. I was also asked if I’d like some complimentary orange juice and then charged £3.50 for this. The social distancing and sanitisation measures...

My favourite local coffee shop. I love their cappuccinos and they have a lovely outdoor area. The food is great too

Sadly the rudest manager/owner I have dealt with in Bristol. Didn’t give me time to buy something after I used his toilet and he got funny with me. Appreciated where he was coming from, but he proceeded to ignore me when I spoke to him...

We wanted to get breakfast delivered on a miserable Saturday morning, during the lockdown - and Cafe Du Jour appeared on deliveroo so gave it a try. In summary - the food was delivered quickly, was hot, and importantly, was incredibly tasty. It’s nice to...

Best cafe in Bristol Coffee is amazing and cakes are to die for Go most days and always a friendly welcome from Hassan the owner

I have eaten here twice, the staff were extremely friendly and the cakes looked amazing. The coffees were amazing, everything was cooked fresh and was very tasty. Will definitely be back in the future.

Hadn’t visited before but always looked fairly busy. Sadly, for us anyway this was to be a first and last visit. The menu for breakfast was varied and would suit most diets however we waited approximately 15 minutes and when the food did arrive it...

All the food is frozen and not made fresh, coffees are reheated, weak and burnt, Manager is rude to both customers and staff, food is unprotected from flies, contamination and bacteria, working units are mouldy and smell of rot. The manager calls himself a professional...

Have eaten here a couple of times within the last 3 months, both for Breakfast and then at Lunchtime. Good friendly service, average quality food with a bit of a wait on one occasion and decidedly average coffee. Quite a relaxing environment.

We have been enjoying excellent coffee, daily, at Cafe du Jour since it was opened 10 years ago. Hasan, the owner, trains his staff in the great art of coffee making and ensures that they are trained to the highest level of customer service. Alongside...

Heard good things about the breakfasts here so I decided to take a trip with a friend for brunch. I chose the full English breakfast which hit the spot and went down well with a yummy flat white. The breakfast and lunch menu was extensive...

Went to get a quick lunch with a friend and ordered the croque Madame, which I enjoyed thou roughly. Also enjoyed how the cappuccino was topped with chocolate curls, very different but delicious. Overall good atmosphere with a diverse menu, enjoyed very much.

Bacon baguette and cappuccino. Delicious. Quick. Friendly staff. Very nice decor. I would recommend.

We had a late breakfast on a busy day and waited a very long time for our coffee and breakfast. I had to remind the waitress of our coffee order as other orders were coming out but not ours. I had a feeling the place...

We arrived at cafe th jour at 5.20 on a Sunday afternoon. The closing time was 5.30, but it was quite apparent that the two girls on duty just wanted to shut shop and go home. We asked a couple of questions regarding the cakes...

Hermoine made an amazing Flat White coffee for my husband today. He enjoyed it so much he had to order another. Thank you

Every week for the past 2 years at 7am I have visited Hassan at the Café du Jour for a scrambled egg breakfast and 2 cups of his fantastic coffee. The eggs have always been superb and the coffee is tasty without being too strong....

Came here for brunch with friends and what unfolded was a catalogue of errors. I waited nearly half an hour for an americano as the barista simply forgot to make it. Waited nearly 45 mins for a grilled sandwich which is ridiculous, especially considering that...

It said in the window " the best croque monsieur in Bristol" and I have no reason to doubt that, it was lovely. The coffee was nice and strong and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Very disappointed that staff are instructed, by the owner, to use orange juice from concentrate instead of always using fresh orange juice as advertised. A glass full of ice on a cold day is not recommended, perhaps ask the customer whether they would like ice......

We wanted a relatively quick breakfast stop and this place hit the spot. The scrambled eggs with salmon was a very large portion and very tasty. The sharing plate do breads and pastries was also very good. Previous reviews gave highlighted the rudeness of the...

This is a very nice French style cafe on Whiteladies Road. I’ve visited twice recently, once with my young granddaughter. Good coffee and a nice range of pastries. Always lively and busy.

Staff were defensive and rude when I had reason to complain and asked for a refund. Avoid! Terrible service. Don't treat customers well.

We visited for lunch. Firstly, I was given a dirty glass for my drink. When I explained to a member of staff they agreed and got me a new drink. Having sat down we both noticed how dirty the floor, table and chair was. We...

Guy at the counter with a pony tail and tattoos looked like his dog had just died. A little smile goes a long way.. first and last time I go there. Park Street branch much better.

My favourite cafe in town, staff are friendly and proficient. There is a choice of coffee beans sourced from a local roasters I believe and the coffee is always excellent. I often eat breakfast here too and the food is very high quality, well prepared...

This is a nice place for a coffee on Whiteladies Road. My bacon baguette took some time to arrive but was well worth the wait. Nice place to have a morning coffee and read the paper

Visited here for lunch. It looked nice - bright and clean. Sadly this place does not cater for plant-based eaters other than some crisps and the option of cheap Leaf almond or soya milk. We settled for almond milk. It was vile. There was no...

The staff is very friendly and yhe food was not only great quality, but served rather quickly. Try the smoothies if you are having brunch or tea and make sure you check the terrace outside if the weather is nice

I popped in for a quick croque Monsieur and was served what only one can describe as the most disgusting attempt at a croque Monsieur. The bread was toasted the cheese wasn't melted and at £5.95 I felt totally and utterly ripped off!

Small French style cafe Simple menu, well cooked, excellent value....perfect for a Laye Sunday morning brunch, chat and read papers.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime with my brother. The croque monsieur was on the edge of being burnt and lacked enough mustard, the Parisian baguette (ham and brie was good). Service was not great they forgot my Citron Pressé and ended up serving it up...

The cafe is quite spacious and has quite a modern interior. The range of pastries and breakfast cakes is impressive, We settled for scrambled eggs on toast which were good.

There's something not right about this place, no one seemed to care; there didn't seem to be much stock, the staff were disinterested, the tables were dirty and the toilets were a disgrace. The coffee shone but that was not enough. I looked at the...

Popped out to drop off charity shop bags after a post Christmas clear out. Fancied something warm to eat and of course healthy, as I advance towards my New Year resolutions. Homemade vegetable soup with puy lentils and brown toast at £4.75 was just what...

Lovely little café, serving nice food and drinks at a reasonable price. The vibe was relaxed yet smart. Would visit regularly if in the area

I pop in here before going to football the atmosphere is good hot drinks are also good customer service gets a 5 star, if your passing park the car and pop in for a drink and a bit to eat.

Stopped in on our way from visiting the BMW motorbike shop at the top of Clifton, we had a mug of tea, ( nice to see the Mug back in fashion again!!) and then had scrambled eggs avocado and salmon on toast for break. Well...

They're quite nice in this café although they are not very quick and if you order a drink, it doesn't come until your food arrives. The quality is good as this is in the upper range for price. Would be nice if they didn't leave...

The customer service left a lot to be desired, the two young servers were very pretentious and haughty.....Soup was good though.... I will definitely not be going there again......

Great coffee and freshly prepared food - fabulous bacon baguette and salmon with scrambled egg. The only drawback is the time it takes to be served.

Sitting here for the second time today. Had a lovely bacon baguette and Americano for breakfast earlier for the bargain price of £5. Back for a light lunch consisting of a panini and salad. Delicious fresh food, well-presented and friendly service. Very clean and airy...

Came here with three friends. One of our group got his food after a normal wait, but the next two meals didn't come before 20 minutes more had passed. My meal came last and didn't come until 10 minutes post that, and after the waitresses...

I came here with my friends on October. The staff were rude and moody and it felt like they couldn't be bothered with us. Food was ok but was overpriced. Wouldn't recommend

Surprisingly large café with good selection of seating, a private corner and also an outdoor area. Standard array of hot drinks and nibbles on offer. Noticed the menu board mis-spells espresso though.

We stopped here for brunch while visiting the city for the day. While it was functional it was nothing spectacular and while it wasn't the most expensive place we've been it was far from the cheapest. We wouldn't make a beeline for this place but...

The quiche with salad was dry, and seemed like yesterday's or the day before. Not worth the price. The goats cheese salad was delicious. Fresh salad leaves, good smattering of toasted walnuts and a dressing, although that was a bit syrupy and artificial. I felt...

We are very regular (weekly) customers at the Whiteladies Road cafe. It does a good range of baguettes, panini, salads and cakes, as well as an all day breakfast menu in a stylish setting. The outside courtyard is very sunny - when the sun is...

The staff are always really friendly - which I love but the coffee is not great (for me) and I've had to send several cakes back because they're dry / stale. It's not the cheapest coffee house so I expect more for my money. When...

Popped in today for some brunch / lunch, was enticed by a Cajun chicken mango and pomegranate salad and paid extra for avocado, unfortunately it was not what it said on the menu - boring leaves, cold dry chicken with no seasoning or flavour (definitely...

Dropped in for lunch and had a warm welcome. The tea was real tea on a pot, not in a bag. The bagettes were fresh and tasty. Made to order and lovely flavour fillings. An excellent menu choice for such a small establishment. Plenty of...

A group of 6 of us were looking for somewhere for a quick stop and a small bite. We happened on Cafe do Jour and it was super. There was a great choice and the food was really tasty. We were served with charm and...

My wife and I were on a visit to Bristol and seeking a coffee shop on our way into the centre. Chanced across the Cafe du Jour It looked clean and inviting so we went in only intending to have coffees. But seeing the menu...

Went for a quick lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place wasn't very full but had a nice, friendly atmosphere. Ordered a smoked salmon baguette which came in good time and was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

We were staying in the Marriott and didn't fancy a huge breakfast so stopped off in here. I had a bacon baguette which was very tasty, although not a baguette and a pot of loose leaf tea. My mum had muesli, fruit and Greek yogurt,...

I asked for a small chocolate milkshake for my son, a large one for me and a coffee for my husband. £10.40!!! When I queried it they told me they can't do a small one and so had charged for two large ones....I asked to...

We went in for breakfast as a group. We weren't greeted when we arrived and had to find the menu ourselves. We ordered 3 X scrambled egg on toast with crispy bacon. They only serve multi-seeded bread which I find prescriptive especially as it was...

Great atmosphere and location. The food came out very fast and was very tasty, especially the smoothies. However, the service wasn't amazing by any means as the staff were not very friendly and we asked multiple for a few things when we were sat at...

Recent visit to this establishment allowed two mature ladies to enjoy a small but substantial lunch. Wine good, service good, food excellent for the price.

It's always a good visit in cafe du jour. The inside is spacious and there is always a lovely selection of cakes. The coffee is excellent and the smoothies are great too. In the summer this is such a nice place to be as the...

Great choice, reasonably priced, warm welcome, delicious food and a really chilled out atmosphere. If you're ever in Bristol I'd definitely give it a go.

Had herbals teas, coffee and fresh orange juice. Staff could do with some listening skills., asked for honey with toast and gave jam instead. Coffee and teas were the only good items. Orange juice tasted like gone off lemon juice. I can forgive the poor...

Nice style, decent food, but the staff could do with greeting people properly when they arrive and adding in a few 'pleases' into the equation. Call me old fashioned. I got a blank look from the staff when I stood at the counter and expected...

We've been visiting Cafe du Jour almost every day for coffee since its opening some years ago. We were thrilled to hear that they were expanding to provide a Bistro style restaurant in the evening. We were not disappointed, great atmosphere, good menu - something...

Lively busy cafe with a quick service food is good if nothing to send a postcard home for. Tea was very welcome very comftablenplace to while away the hour

Cafe Du Jour has just opened for evening dining. We had an excellent meal on their opening night. The service was friendly and French as one might expect. We love breakfast at cafe du jour and the new supper menu did not disappoint. We will...

This is a new place on me, although I don't get to Bristol too often these days. Well laid out, nice feel, fresh food. The Croque Monsieur (well it is a French cafe!) came with salad or egg (scrambled or fried). I had the salad...

I have visited this place a few times to meet up with friends. I often find their cakes are either too stodgy or too dry. Their fresh mint tea and chocolate torte are however always nice. At my last visit, I was left not being...

Visited for breakfast with a friend- scrambled eggs and bacon- very nicely cooked, good quality ingredients, very nice toast, lovely hot chocolate. Not too expensive- all in all very good!

Coffee the French would be proud of. Flakey croissants, crisp bacon, fantastic lunchtime salads. A must at any time of day!
