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

Can’t believe it’s been here forever !!!! And I’d never been inside it. Staff were so lovely , decent prices for food and the Princess Stack was very yummy and one of the best French breads 👌. Would defo come back here seeing as I don’t live far from it x

Had a fantastic Full English and if Im back in Bristol anytime this is where I'll be headed again. Really friendly people running the place and the sausages were great.

Me and my homies had a cooked breakfast in this American style cafe. The food tasted great, the portions were plenty, freshly cooked bacon, sausage and eggs, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

There are a number of traditional cafes and other restaurants in Bishopston and Horfield, offering decent breakfasts. This is the best.

Excellent, friendly service and food. Breakfast menu is strongly recommended. Very friendly service in a great environment.

11/10 banging fry up! Lovely service was very happy with the food and how we were treated everything was proper lush! :) :)

Group of six of us visited here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Staff were very accommodating and friendly fitting us in. Most of the group had a full English breakfast, and a couple of us had the Smashed Avocado, Poached Eggs & Crispy Bacon on Seeded Toast. Everyone of us thought it was superb, so much so that we returned on the Sunday for another breakfast. The decor was great too, loved all the American Football helmets on the ceiling. Would definitely be back next time we’re in Bristol.

The interior design and overall cafe decor is done with taste. It's very comfy and gives a very relaxing vibe so I totally recommend it if you want an eye pleasing cafe. The customer service is excellent, the waiter was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu and other outside the menu options. Thank you for the awesome service!! I think the only thing that was a let down is the desserts which seemed all ready made. I am talking only about the sweet stuff, I haven't had the savoury ones. Similarly, no fresh juices or anything like that. This is the reason I marked it a bit lower. If I get the chance to go back and have food I may change my rating.

It is lovely that Cafe Rhubard are back open on a Sunday. The Sunday roast was delicious and the desert was just perfect. Mandy finds time to talk to customers, and has friendly staff. The best cafe on Gloucester Road.

This establishment deserves all the praise , very friendly and welcoming and a congenial atmosphere. I've eaten a lot of breakfasts and this is up there with the best of them, a full plate of quality items and lovely thick toast. A wonderful pot of tea, excellent coffee, home made cake to die for. Wonderful customer service by the very charming and pretty waitress Eleanor.Forget all the other eateries on this road this is the one.

Wonderful food, all cooked to order. Large menu to choose from. Lovely people as well make it great to visit.

We enjoyed another lovely breakfast in this quality cafe.Friendly staff, great food, lovely decor, very good menu selection. What's not to like?

Cafe Rhubarb have now opened up on Sundays for Sunday roast dinners, my husband and I came to try the Sunday roast it was absolutely delicious, the food was amazing and plenty of vegetables, the dinner was truly amazing, we would have liked to have tried the choice of deserts but was so full. Service was excellent. Mandy is an excellent cook and so friendly towards customers. Will be back soon. Keep up the good work Mandy

Good food, great atmosphere. Staff are very friendly, helpful & professional. I was advised about allergens without needing to ask. The food was good quality and the place itself is very clean. With a relaxed and calm atmosphere

4 of us wanted "afternoon tea" at short notice. Owner was very friendly, welcoming, and despite many of her cakes being sold out (assurance of quality and she bakes on the premises to serve freshly made cakes) she was able to rustle together assorted jam & cream scones, fresh strawberries & some slices of home made cake & tea in less than 10 minutes. Cosy welcoming atmosphere atmosphere, and like a taste of home on the ever changing Gloucester Road.

Cafe Rhubarb debe ser uno de los mejores cafés en Gloucester Road, hay una gran selección de comida para todos. Si tiene algún requisito dietético especial, no hay problema aquí, no se sentirá decepcionado. Toda la comida increíble es de origen local y se prepara fresca, el desayuno inglés completo no puede ser superado junto con el excelente menú variado. Además decente selección de excelentes cafés y tés.El propietario me dijo la semana pasada, la cafetería estará abierta todos los domingos del año nuevo para el almuerzo del domingo, estoy seguro de que el almuerzo del domingo será mucho más que increíble. ! !Mandy, Dave y su hijo Mitch siempre reciben una bienvenida muy cálida, te cuidan muy bien.

Had lovely English breakfast,great friendly service in nicely appointed café.Well behaved dogs allowed.

Comemos muchos desayunos en muchos lugares, pero esto es realmente lo mejor. Este final de Gloucester Road está lleno de tiendas de segunda mano y lugares interesantes para relajarse, pero siempre tratamos de estar aquí a la hora del almuerzo. La anfitriona Maindy cocina todo fresco y usa solo los mejores ingredientes. Incluso se adapta a nuestra dieta baja en grasas y hierve los champiñones y usa muy poca grasa. El tocino es de primera calidad y cocinado a la perfección. Grandes losas de tostadas gruesas también. En serio, buena relación calidad-precio y muy amable. Quizás comamos aquí cinco veces al año, pero Mandy siempre recuerda nuestras debilidades. En serio, este es el mejor desayuno que hemos tenido. Vale la pena un viaje a este final funky de Bristol para comer aquí.

Lovely food, very friendly staff who made sure my breakfast was veggie and gluten free, which isn't always possible! Relaxing environment.

Tripadvisor fue responsable de mi esposa y yo encontrar esta joya escondida. Los críticos tenían razón, Cafe Ruibarbo es un gran lugar para comer. El personal era amable y servicial, y el desayuno era excepcional, y muy buena relación calidad-precio, ya tengo ganas de volver.

Mi amigo y yo fuimos a tomar un café a esta cafetería antes de una reunión y fue una visita maravillosa. El personal fue increíble, el propietario y su amiga fueron muy amables y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. La comida era increíble, el mejor sándwich de tocino que mi amigo ha tenido y un café encantador para acompañarlo. Muchas gracias, definitivamente volveremos a su pequeño y acogedor café.

This is by far one of the friendliest cafes around. They have a fresh selection of gluten free cakes everyday and I can say they are very tasty and the staff are always freindly.

This is a comfortable and friendly cafe which does a good range of teas at reasonable prices. We came late Friday afternoon and they had completely run out of cake!

Visitamos Café Ruibarbo en una tarde gris y miserable en enero y salimos completamente renovados y felices. Disfrutamos de unos deliciosos sándwiches tostados (uno era un fabuloso queso y jamón sin gluten), una encantadora selección de bebidas frías y calientes (echa un vistazo al chocolate caliente) y pastel para terminar. Gran ambiente cálido y servicio agradable y amable de las dos mujeres. No te decepcionará; es una pequeña joya!

This place serves the most delicious bacon sandwiches I have ever eaten. Everything else we have tried has been great too. The service is wonderful too, warm, friendly and fun. Just a perfect cafe!

Stopped here prior going to watch a football match at the Memorial Stadium. The cafe was very busy, so there was a bit of wait, but we were warned of this before ordering. Had some great bacon and egg sandwiches and coffee. A really nice cafe, with friendly staff.

In the area for the day, and looking for a second meal course, I happened to stop at Cafe Rhubarb, attracted by the name and the indication of home made cake. The interior, on two levels, is quirkily attractive and the staff could not be more welcoming. The cake and coffee were both excellent.

Went with my husband after a trip to the hospital had a a much needed relaxing lunch which was really tasty and the staff were super! We had Sweet Jacket Potatoes with Coronation Chicken and a side salad. It was really tasty and very well presented, the Coffee was hot and rich and the Banana cake delicious. The staff were so chatty and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, I can highly recommend this little treasure you’d be a fool not to pop in!

La comida y el servicio eran excelentes, como siempre. Comida caliente y es de buena calidad. Recomiendo este lugar a todo el mundo x

Una comida encantadora bienvenida siempre maravilloso y cualquier cosa que haya y todo fresco. Vale la pena una visita

Un desayuno de primera en todos los aspectos.

By far the best cafe I have ever visited. The staff are excellent and the food is to die for! Would highly recommend the full English!

Just had a family Christmas Eve breakfast at Rhubarb- it was excellent! 10 of us all had different choices ! The breakfast was great- all fresh, some has poaches eggs on toast and some had fried! The staff were great really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will be going back as there were so accommodating: Loved it - thank you

It is lovely little café where you can have a delicious breakfast. This place is highly recommended by myself not only for food but also for music at the background and a nice atmosphere. I'd like to say big thank you to the lady by the till who wropped my bacon sandwitch as I did not plan my time properly and I had to leave earlier. Many thanks for that.

Lovely little cafe at the top of Gloucester Road! Great gluten free options including toasted sandwiches! Also fab ice cream smoothies :)

Nothing flash but comfortable environment and friendly staff. Our food was cooked fresh and was good. I'd recommend the jacket potato!

We went in for birthday breakfast, we have heard how good it was so we thought we would find out for ourselves.We were not disappointed freshly cooked fry up with wedges of toast and a lot on the plate.We will use this cafe again very nice.

Called in for lunch. The owner was welcoming, and it's a nice layout and ambience. The owner clearly has a lot of regulars who she knows by name and takes the time to chat to. The food was slow to arrive but was good when it did. Drinks were good, particularly the spiced hot chocolate with ginger.The only worrying aspect is the lack of a food hygiene rating sticker and that when I searched for the business on the Food Standards Agency website, it isn't listed, which implies it hasn't been inspected by Environmental Health.

Came here with a client as I am a support worker. Its a great Café I was pleasantly suprised very pleasant staff and great food. It is bigger inside than it looks definately will go back again.

I attended my neices wedding reception here,they pet up a marque and the seating was bales of hay.covered with cloths,it was lovely ,the food was gorgeous (the bride ordered a roast hog and an ice cream van) and the cafe did chips and sandwiches,it was really different but lovely xx

Really good quality food, we had a toastie, scrambled egg on toast and a gluten free cake, bread used was lovely- just better quality food than your average cafe.

Been going past this lovely coffee shop a lots of times to my way to work. Finally decided to go in last Friday to see what they are offering. The menu is great and quite difficult to choose what you want if everything you see on there sounds delicious. In the end just went with simple bacon sandwich and coffee. Loved it. The Bacon was cooked perfectly and just the way I like it. Definitely gonna go again and gonna recommend to friends.

My sister & I visited Cafe Rhubarb after a particularly difficult day & had lovely tea & cakes, both of which (lemon drizzle & banana) were gorgeous. The atmosphere was calm & friendly-it was just what we needed.

I was really looking forward to trying this place as I heard a lot about it. The menu was quite extensive for sandwiches etc however it wasn't really anything special. Saying that, it's fantastic that they primarily serve gluten free options and the owners were very friendly and welcoming.

Have been to Cafe Rhubarb on several occasions and have never been disappointed, it's a cracking place with a cracking owner who looks after you very well. The bacon & egg sarnies are ' simply the best ', I feel a song coming on here !! It's a bit on the small side, but that just adds to the charm. The owner is more than happy to mix & match items on the menu & I hope this place will be around for years to come, it's well worth a visit

I called into this lovely little establishment on Saturday morning to retrieve a tube of hair conditioner my partner had left there on Thursday it had been found,put to one side & awaiting collection. By way of saying thank you I decided to sample their full English breakfast, what a good decision it was superb freshly cooked & at only £5.95 excellent value for money, hot & very tasty. This is a great cafe with friendly staff & nice surroundings, I fully recommend cafe Rhubarb &will go back again soon. !!!!

We enjoyed an early lunch here today as a couple. The food on offer is tasty and there is a good range on offer. The cakes looked fab. The spiced hot chocolate is very tasty. I enjoyed my brie and plum chutney salad. The staff were friendly and approachable.

We've eaten three times here now and the food was really yummy. I had the veggie breakfast - freshly cooked and plenty of it .I've also had a delicious sandwich with side salad. The only downside is it's very slow as its just one lady working there and she enjoys a chat. This is part off the charm of course but if you're in a hurry maybe not.

What a Gem this little cafe is, Great atmosphere, Tastefully decorated, Excellent Food and the Owners are the most welcoming of couples. Nothing too much trouble. I can't highly recommend Cafe Rhubarb enough.

After me and my partner had a bad experience with a cafe just up the road we decided to try cafe rhubarb to our delight we were welcomed and made to feel very comfortable, lovely decor. The food was to a high quality and good price, ingredients were fresh and staff were willing to go the extra mile

I don't ever bother writing reviews anywhere however I frequent Cafe Rhubarb most weeks and not only have i never been disappointed but have enjoyed eating, drinking coffee and socialising every visit! The owners care, tend to your every need (within reason of course) and make you feel well looked after - everytime!! I look forward to my visits for brunch either on my own or with others where conversation never fails and food is personally catered to my fussy needs. I always leave fully satisfied knowing I have eaten well, not overpaid for it and routeing enjoyed banter with customers and staff alike. Excellent cafe to visit on Gloucester Road whatever your need!!

I dropped into Cafe Rhubarb looking for a good Fried Breakfast and i wasn't disappointed. The brekkie was fresh cooked with everything I'd expect in a Breakfast costing £7.35. There were a few issues that could be improved.Tables are on two levels. The top level where they do the cooking was nice and warm but there were only two tables and these were both taken. On the Ground Floor it was very cold and draughty and i kept my coat on. There didn't seem to be any disabled facilities on the ground floor, access to toilets was up a flight of stairs and they were a bit disappointing.There was no hot water and no towel, so Hygiene was an issue. However, the Food was fine and service friendly.Worth a try.

Popped here today and i'm so glad I did!Great coffee in cosy surroundings. The homemade carrot cake was just perfect and both Mandy and her husband are lovely.I'm lucky to be staying close by, but i'd walk the length of the Gloucester Road to try this little gem!

I popped in one afternoon just before 5pm. I hadn't eaten all day and was about to collapse! I ordered tea and a bacon sarnie and sat in the window watching the busy going ons of the Gloucester Road, whilst listening to the back and forth chat of cafe regulars.I was served a pot of tea (not just a cup) and the most enormous bacon buttie I have ever seen! I actually measured it and it was an inch and a half thick, in proper hand cut, doorstop, soft, white bread, stuffed with back bacon. During the wait I'd been having the age old debate with myself - ketchup or HP? This baby was so big that I did half and half. This was such a man sized sarnie that this little lady couldn't eat it all.Waitress serviced by the nicest of ladies - proprietress? I can see why there were regulars in there. There was something about her.., almost like a bar person, that you'd share your triumphs and woes with. She was at the counter, decorating what looked to be a home baked cake when I left.

This little lunch spot is a gem at the top of Gloucester Road. It's a family run café, super friendly and you get the feeling that nothing is too much trouble. Everyone is greeted like a regular and you'll find the regulars chatting across tables and nattering to you on your way to the counter too! Never underestimate the power of a seriously good short - order cook. Mandy's BIG breakfast is a joy - and you MUST leave room for a bit of home-made cake. The meat is from the butcher and the bread is from Joe's Bakery.Frankly I don't know why you'd bother going anywhere else.

Went here for lunch, great food, very good portions. Nice setting in and outside the cafe and lovely staff. Recommended.

Fell upon this beauty on a Saturday lunchtime. Small elegant nice atmosphere. Food beautifully presented and tastes lovely. Nice variation on normal cafe food.

I popped in here a couple of times before I got my haircut next door. Iced tea's are really great! And food was also great and well presented. Really friendly lady and definitely planning on using this place as my regular

I love visiting cafe Rhubard, Amanda or Mand as we call her is so friendly that I feel I have known her for years, it is like visiting family when you enter this fabulous place. The food is good quality, I always have a breakfast, the eggs are tasty and flavoursome. The cakes look tempting and are freshly made on the premises. I can't fault this establishment and look forward to eating here again soon. My mother is a local shop keeper nearby and is in her 70's she feels comfortable visiting here with her friends and visits every week. Keep up the good work Mand.

I've just had one of the most delicious toasties ever, it was a tuna, cheese, red onion & chutney one. I recommend it. Very well presented & absolutely delicious. I haven't written a review for ages on here & that's why I'm writing one now! The lady who owns the cafe is so sweet & friendly & polite so the service is very good too & fast.

Cafe Rhubarb is friendly,clean,and the food is fabulous and reasonably priced. The glutton free cakes are hard to resist, the sandwiches and toasties on proper hand sliced bread are delicious, and Mandy the proprietor is lovely, funny and always happy to chat :-) it's a new regular eatery for me!

We are lucky enough to live close to Café Rhubarb. You are always guaranteed a warm, friendly welcome from the owners and the food is freshly cooked and delicious. The furniture and decor are just right and the café's atmosphere is perfect. I would highly recommend you visit.

We love Bristol and its vibrant city centre. But if you have the time head out of the city and visit this little gem. It's a family run place and the wife is the cook - specializing in gluten-free food. Only open for lunchtime but we hope they soon do evening delights too.As Americans we don't have this option too often so were thrilled to discover this cafe. Wonderful menu.

Cafe Rhubarb is such a great addition to the Gloucester Road coffee shop scene.....its so nice to pop in and have a coffee and a lovely piece of cake there without caught up in the melee of hoards of small children and overpriced drinks which is so often the case in the area. Friendly owners and relaxed vibe make it one of my favourite places for a latte. it really has created a good niche for itself in the competitive cafe scene in the area.

Having eaten breakfasts in many cafe's on the Gloucester Road in Bristol, I had yet to find one that fully understood the meaning of 'gluten or wheat free' Some of them have never even heard of gluten but most of them, in fairness, allowed me to take a look at their ingredients to check, but, I was often left with a very limited selection and checking was quite tedious if not a little embarrassing.So, imagine my surprise and delight when on discovering the Cafe Rhubarb where I was offered just one item short of a 'full english' gluten free breakfast. The owner took great pride in obtaining fresh local ingredients and at the time of eating she was working with a local butcher to obtain some gluten free sausages to make up the full package. It was obvious she was well educated in all things gluten and wheat free. This is very reassuring if you are unfortunate enough to be intolerant to it.The food was served freshly cooked and was very tasty, it was apparent that good quality ingredients were used, no fatty stringy bacon or cheap 'trade' beans here and the tea was hot and flavoursome. The cutlery was very clean as were the tables chairs, floors, and kitchen area. The cafe has a relaxing atmosphere and is nicely decorated. The pricing was very competitive considering the quality of food, and the welcome and hospitality was warm and sincere.Not only breakfasts are on offer, the cafe has a good lunch menu too and also offers a very nice looking range of gluten and wheat free cakes.This is a relatively new business that the owner is obviously proud of, so who better to recommend it than local customers - and now being one of them I have no reservations at all.I will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Rhubarb and found it a really great alternative to some of the cafés in that area. It made a nice change to see a cafe offering a quieter, welcoming adult orientated environment. The owner was extremely friendly and was forthcoming with the ethos of the business, it's impressive to see a business on the Gloucester Road catering for Coeliacs by offering gluten free alternatives. It can often be frustrating that many of the cafés on the Gloucester Road exclude people without small children whilst overcharging for small portions of average food. I will certainly be visiting Cafe Rhubarb again, and recommend you try the vegetarian breakfast.
