Caffe Arabica in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely coffee, friendly staff and really feel welcome with my wife. Delicious cake and food

Had a couple of lovely coffees.

One of my favourite spots for lunch in Bristol. Great food and good coffee. If you are driving there is also generally space on the road outside to park.

Delightful and cozy atmosphere. Lovers of good coffee will not remain indifferent to the coffee shop “Cafe Arabica” and will always be frequent guests. They have delicious baked goods and amazing breakfast and lunch offerings!

Found on the internet. Walked and found friendly service and great affordable food, with loads of options.

Lovely little cafe run by Halil. Great food and lovely coffee

Amazing coffee, chilled vibe and great and attentive staff

Lovely cafe. Nice food. Good vibes.

A cafe. Lovely food and atmosphere for chatty lunch.

We often get takeaway coffee at Caffe Arabica. Coffee is consistently good and service always friendly. Thank you!

Friendly atmosphere and really nice little cafe. I had a flat white and brownie and they were both delicious.

Just had a fry up to go here. Was amazing. Well presented and good crispy bacon. Highly recommend.

It is always a pleasure to visit the cafe. Halil, the owner, does a great coffee. Their cranberry roll is really tasty, too

This cafe really did not look much from the outside but stepping inside I found a busy vibrant room. The through flow soon evidenced that this has many local regulars, so my interest was raised! I had a latte and ordered the Arabian Chicken Casserole. It arrived in a tin foil take-away tray beside a great looking salad so I tipped the container out and from first bite, loved every bite from there onwards! 30 minutes later and I an still savouring the flavours, avoiding consuming anything else as long as I can to continue this pleasure! Thank-you for a lovely meal and at only £9.95!!

Terrific cafe with amazing staff and very tasty food in a super location. Just a short walk from Clifton Downs this lovely cafe offers a great variety of freshly cooked meals - all delicious in the view of our group of 8!

The coffee was excellent, clearly the beans had been well chosen for a rounded flavour, and well presented. Also had lunch from the specials board which was imaginative and really tasty. Finally the staff went out of their way to make us welcome with a small baby, rearranging tables to suit our family group. Highly recommended

Nice little cafe which I stopped at after dropping the little one to school. Good amount of seating. Pricing is more on the expensive side. The server was very friendly and welcoming. Four tables outside to sit in the sun with a coffee. A small range of food items on the menu, but something for everyone. Very clean and tidy. Tables are nicely laid out. Good Selection of Cakes and drinks available.

Вкусно, хороший кофе, маленькое уютное, люблю его

Excellent independent cafe…lots of specials plus normal menu. Great coffee and homemade cakes. Just off White Tree roundabout plus other independent shops on North View

Small cafe , only a coffee this time, but I have breakfast previously, which was cooked to order. Not busy on this visit as on a side street, but worth the sort walk.

Excellent coffee, staff very friendly, especially Halil. Goof atmosphere, will definitely be back!

Very friendly staff and awesome flat white coffees!

Great food & service and unlike some cafes, excellent accoustics.

Great service, very friendly staff a good food.

Popped in for an unplanned lunch followed by coffee and cake. Service, atmosphere and food was all top quality. We will definitely be back.

Only interested if you are spending money. Dismissive and rude. We will not be coming back or recommending. Thankfully plenty of more friendly options.

Nice, friendly coffee shop. Great coffee. Thank you.

My husband tried to open the door to the toilet which appeared to be very stiff. After a while the waitress came out of the toilet looking very angry. She had given no indication that she was in there. My husband was very apologetic. When we went to leave the cafe the same waitress was waiting for him, arms crossed and proceeded to very aggressively tell him that the loo was for everyone. We have used this cafe many times but will not be going there again. This rude waitress needs to be told to remember who the customers are.

Speedy service. Great tasting coffee. Very impressed with both speed of service (for a takeaway coffee) and quality of coffee

Very nice little cafe. Good coffee. Lovely carrot cake!

Good coffee, great cakes, friendly staff and prompt service - what's not to like?

Only friendly when you are purchasing. The owner seems more interested in your money than his customers having an enjoyable visit, unfortunately. Won't be a return visit for us.

Great place! Great food! What else do you need?!

We were welcomed into this lovely, local independent café by the proprietor. The first time we’ve been back since the pandemic. All was well, the same tasty, varied menu, clean tables, and good service. I had the chicken casserole with vegetables. There were peppers, tomatoes, a bit of spice and a cheese topping. Served with salad and coleslaw. My husband and son sampled the Arabica Royale, perfect poached eggs on top of vegetables and bacon, served on a bagel and topped with hollandaise. They couldn’t resist the red velvet cake. A local gem

Nice friendly place.Good for breakfast.Ideal place to meet up for catch up with friends.

I chose lentil soup at lunch time and was told it comes with a roll. In fact it came with a savoury scone which had been over-microwaved, part of it being inedible. The soup was ok, but unremarkable.

Super coffee cake and service Super coffee and cake

Lovely cafe, great food at a good price and the owner is really nice

Ce café est une agréable surprise. L'équipe est souriante et accueillante. L'ambiance est paisible et c'est agréable de venir y travailler. J'ai commandé un panini au saumon avec salade. C'était parfait, simple et délicieux.

Delicious breakfast and friendly staff, will definitely be back.

Really friendly staff and chilled outdoor seating. Coffee was great and would recommend

Top quality flat white and mocha. Covid-safe as tables were smooth and white, wiped down after each customer. Would recommend.

The male member of staff on the till is quite abrupt and rude. When I asked what I could have instead of salmon with my poached eggs and avocado on toast he said ‘ham’ and I said I didn’t eat meat and he then kind of shrugged and said there wasn’t anything else I could have. I asked again and he said I could have extra avocado so I said yes. When it arrived it looked disgusting. Soggy, thin dough/cake like ‘bread’ roll not toasted, browny green paste spread thinly on the bread (which was some mushed up avocado!) and salad was a few prices of tomato, 2 pieces of cucumber and a few leaves. It tasted horrible- bread was like cake. I asked for my extra avocado as I thought they forgotten it and he said it was already on there!! I asked if I could have some avocado slices not mushed up and he said they didn’t have any as the avocado gets mushed up in the morning! He offered a bit more salad (rubbish as above). My friends food which was chorizo, eggs and mushrooms on bagel looked so much nicer, like it was from a different cafe, and even she said the same! Honestly it was awful and I could definitely have done better myself at home!

Lovely for a quick coffee and croissant in an outside area

Very nice coffee served by very nice people!

Well priced and they’re quick with service - quick to serve you and quick to take your cup away, even before you’ve finished and the place is empty! I was also told to sit at a different table as it was booked for 10, but no one turned up by the time I Left 10:45! I think overall, the staff could polish up on charm and warmth. & stop seeing ££!

The chocolate orange cake is amazing. Fair prize. Friendly staff and peaceful environment. I had a great afternoon!👍🏻

Great breakfast, Shakshouka to die for.

Great little coffee shop, always excellent coffee with friendly and quick service

Great takeaway coffee and superb choc brownies !!! We'll be back...:)

Best coffee in Bristol and excellent good value food.

Lost a star because they got my order wrong but I didn't give them a chance to rectify it because I was hungry. Ordered the Vegetarian breakfast but ended up getting the normal breakfast which was pretty basic. I suppose I was expecting something more "Arabica". Coffee was great. Service was fast and the server was very polite.

Has kept us going with amazing cakes and one capucino

The cakes are really good I was told also that the breakfast is very good but I don't know I I was told by I was told buy a friend

Delightful way to spend an afternoon with a girlfriend. 2 Excellent Flat Whites , smooth and hot. 2 fabulous brunches sour dough , avocado, salmon 2 perfectly poached eggs, salad Thank You so much.😘 Susie

Great food and service as always.

Always friendly and very good food.

Lovely coffee and the cake selection looked good. Staff friendly and helpful and there’s clearly a good local following (a number of cyclists came in and out whilst we were there)

Just the best ever Victoria sponge and also other great cakes and coffee

The service is friendly and personable. His coffee focuses on the actual coffee flavour but he is also generous with mix-in syrups.

Obviously with all cafes shut for seating it is still open for takeaways drinks and cakes which are yummy - I discovered they were open on a day when I was doing my daily exercise and I returned a couple of days later to have a great cup of tea and a flapjack Hit the spot good to support initiative when it is around Hope to be back even before normality starts to set in, even if it does Owner friendly

Great coffee, tasty paninis and an owner who takes pride in his cafe. I am really pleased that the cafe has opened for takeaway drinks and food during the lockdown period.

We moved to Westbury Park 8 months ago and love this cafe. The salmon fishcakes are beautiful and so reasonably priced. Lovely staff too.

Visited this establishment on Wednesday 19th February, we arrived at 430 only to discover they closed at 5 o'clock, we asked if we were too late to get anything to eat and were told that he could do us a baked potato with tuna. Which we both ordered came with a lovely side salad and homemade coleslaw. Absolutely scrummy! We did not feel as though we were being rushed out of the door, even though we were the only two in there by this time. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back. A little gem hiding in North View

Always a friendly greeting from Halil. Small intimate dining areas. Fabulous specials board, usually Turkish inspired, very well priced. Delicious coffee, homemade cakes & more. Meze plate @£6.95 with warm soda bread is delicious. Well worth a visit

Really enjoyed my experience here. Had a ham and cheese toasty and latte - both were delicious. I would go here again.

Friendly staff good people's top quality coffee

Always enjoyed the scrambled eggs here very tasty & good service however price seems to keep going up was £3.95 then £4.25 then today £4.75! A shame but won't be visiting again.

A small cafe with delicious food and the best soda bread I have ever tasted. Does get busy though and you may have to wait for a table.

A few of us met for coffee. We all received quick and friendly service. The price of coffee was less than in some of the nearby competitors and the coffee was good. It is good to support friendly local and independent traders.

Small cozy cafe, I had a delicious veggie breakfast and really friendly staff too!

A very nice cosy place. Good cakes and good coffee.

Fresh appetising food, Italian feel, but felt less welcome the second my food was finished. Eager to take my almost finished coffee, I felt uncomfortable sitting there, even though there were empty tables. "Eat and go seems to be the policy"

Great spot for breakfast meetings, chats over coffee with fast service and good food. Would recommend!

For a cafe serving the local community and particularly its senior citizens this can hardly be bettered. That is not to say there are not plenty of young clients as well. The food is good and the service swift and friendly

The coffee in here is good. However I had a jacket potato with veg and could not eat it. Mostly red peppers and very greasy. I think their food is usually much better

Lovely little find on North View, lovely coffee and friendly staff. Had the baked goats cheese salad and it was divine. A must visit if you are looking for an indipendant coffee shop that offeres fresh home cooked food and beautiful cakes in a fresh clean and modern setting.

Regularmente entramos aquí para comer algo, y la comida siempre es excelente. El personal es amable y acogedor, el menú es variado (si no es extenso) y siempre hay una variedad de opciones saludables. ¡Es asombroso qué comidas se pueden producir en lo que parece ser una cocina pequeña! Hay asientos al aire libre en la parte delantera si no te importa ver pasar los autos. Muy recomendable.

Cozy friendly cafe with lovely cakes, including gluten free & delicious coffee

Having a new boiler fitted led us to have lunch two days running at Cafe Arabica, The menu us not extensive but what is there is good wholesome food well presented and cheerfully served. On both days there was a real buzz about the place. We must go more often.

Lieux très chaleureux .. Serveuse française très sympathique et agréable .. Service impeccable je recommande pour un déjeune ou pour un afternoon tea .

Just found this little beautiful cafe by chance. Had the Caffè Arabica Breakfast and my mum had Poached Eggs, Spinach and toast with latte. Bloody lovely it was. Would highly recommend.

Un pequeño café local con una diferencia, el café de Halil: el restaurante demuestra los beneficios de comer en un lugar donde el propietario está presente y también cocina. Además de la variedad esperada de cafés, refrescos y pasteles, deliciosos panes y pasteles caseros, mis favoritos son el pastel de manzana o su pastel de capas de capuchino. El menú principal tiene una selección de huevos benedict, huevos, tortillas, tocino, mezze y ensaladas o sopas.Una mirada a través de la ventana a la hora del almuerzo muestra su popularidad, pero los lugareños conocemos otro secreto, la soleada sala de jardín, donde probablemente haya una mesa.La junta de especialidades diarias de Hailil también ofrece delicias de Oriente Medio, como su delicioso Chakchouka turco, un guiso de verduras con ensalada Feta y pan de soda caliente, (nuestra elección hoy). La última visita teníamos quesos de cabra al horno con tocino crujiente y crostini. También hay un menú para niños, que incluye huevos revueltos con soldados tostados con mantequilla. Los niños y los padres disfrutarán de la gama de locales, Marshfield, helados.Resumiendo; El personal es alegre y amable, a precios razonables, y la comida es muy buena.Los pasteles y las pastas también se pueden comprar para llevar en cajas biodegradables a base de papel prensado blanco respetuosas con el medio ambiente - SIN plástico.Cómo llegar allá:North View es la carretera que va desde White Tree en Durdham Downs hasta Northumbria Drive que conduce a Henleaze Road. El autobús número 2 tiene paradas en North View y se encuentra a poca distancia de Halil's, justo sobre el paso de cebra.

Nice Small privately owned cafe a cut above the usual.

Warm, comfortable little cafe serving delicious food. We had two of their specials (eggs on smashed avocado and the chakchouka) and would recommend both.

Cheap, friendly and handy for Waitrose, who, sadly, do not have a cafe or working toilets at present. In the other direction is a nice, small independent bookshop and a hospice charity shop that is certainly worth a visit.

I love the coffee and pastries here. The staff are all helpful; I would definitely have it again.

Lovely food with great staff. Larger thgan it looks!

Very surprised great choice of food and a good selection of teas and coffees.

Visité esta excelente cafetería con un amigo para almorzar y, una vez más, el servicio y la comida eran excelentes.

Cup of tea on a wet afternoon. Great spot, nice cakes and good service.

Excellent food and service. Well worth a visit.

Nice cafe, clean and very friendly.

Great food, especially the soda bread. Always friendly.

Had the full English breakfast here recently and it was most enjoyable with excellent produce and very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and there is more tables than you think with more through the back overlooking the garden

This is my second visit to Cafe Arabica inside a week, which is a recommendation in its own right. We were meeting my sister but found we'd got our timing wrong, so we had an hour to kill. We walked along the Downs cutting across to Coldharbour Rd and then back to North View, admiring the houses and gardens tucked away in the quiet little streets. When we got back we spotted Cafe Arabica and once we read the menu I text my sister and suggested we meet there instead of Grounded, which was our original choice. There were two little table's outside but the weather then (as today) wasn't quite warm enough for us though the smokers were happy to sit out. Inside the place is a bit small and it's very popular so there is plenty of demand for seating. The few tables are fairly close together and it can become a bit 'cosy' but there is a back room overlooking the small garden and a few high stools in the window. The menu is quite interesting and there were some unusual choices available. There's also a blackboard with a selection of options all at the same price. I went for the Mezze which was a bit disappointing as it didn't have the meat I was expecting though there was a good selection of other ingredients (Olives, Sun Dried Tomatoes and a warm, rather sweet bun). it was very tasty and as a light alternative to a 'Full English' it was a good choice. My sister chose the grilled goats cheese with bacon, salad and coleslaw which looked great and today it was my choice. The grilled cheese was gorgeous, salty and with the bacon it was a match made in heaven, but the salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato) just seemed completely unnecessary. It would though have been amazing with a small pat of Bubble and Squeak? There were some small slices of crisp bread but these were a poor substitute for a good slice of Granary Toast. My partner went for Poached Eggs on a Bagel with Avocado which she announce as delicious. (My sister chose this option today). There are lot's of coffee option's all served piping hot in good sized cups/mugs and Tea is available in a Pot if required. Service is polite and friendly and the guys told me they had been there for about 5 years, so not the unknown Gem I though we'd discovered. This is a nice, civilised Cafe where they offer some different choices. It wont be the first choice for builders or anyone wanting a calorie packed meal but it will always have a fan base. Parking can be a problems but we found spaces in North View on both occasions, so its just about luck.

Pequeña cafetería encantadora con más asientos con vistas a un patio con jardín. Buenas opciones de menú para el almuerzo y una buena selección de pasteles. Mi café fue muy agradable, aunque me hubiera gustado que no solo se hubiera desnatado como una opción flaca. Tarta de limón era delicioso. Muy buen servicio. Volveremos de nuevo si en el área.

Este es un snack bar / café relativamente pequeño, pero sin duda supera su peso, la comida es fresca y muy sabrosa, servida de manera muy eficiente por personal muy amable, un lugar realmente estupendo para pasar media hora más o menos, son claramente capaces de hacer mucho más - ¡Solo espero que no avancen en el futuro cercano!

Meet up with a friend today at this lovely café and again excellent service, good value for money - cake was delicious and the staff attentive and welcoming - will certainly be back in due course Keep up the good work

Lovely cafe, great for breakfast and lunch.
