Coffee#1 Fishponds in Bristol, City of

Really enjoyed our brunch, good service and the food was really tasty

Great service , great food every time!

First time visit here . Lovely people and food that style I like , enjoy cozy weekend with my family .

Nice beer, but terrible staff. When asked a simple question if they had pickled eggs they just pointed to the menu and told us to check. One pint was 3 quarter full.

Great food and box with toys for kids

I was disappointed, i'd heard such good things. Stood for 15 mins waiting to ask about how we order from outside seating with all staff avoiding eye contact etc... eventually gave up and asked other customers. We had to order at bar due to being outside which is fine, but the addition of a service charge (they say it's optional but its added to your bill at point of paying, before any service received) left a bad taste after being ignored so long. Food was ok, my Turkish eggs were over cooked (hard yolk) and yoghurt quite flavourless. Others in our group were happier with their veggie breakfasts etc. A very expensive brunch, Porto next door so much better and better prices and tastier food. It's a shame but I doubt we'll be back after that.

No vegan options anymore. Ordered off menu and they accommodated but…they really need a free decent vegan options. This is Bristol after all…

Had so much fun at the quiz tonight! The host Toby is so funny😂 love the crafty egg x

Really lovely staff members, my favourite place to visit for amazing service and great coffee

The food is excellent, next time will try the kimchi mushrooms (didn’t dare to try on my first visit) The staffs are friendly, polite, and energetic! Love the ambiance there…. Comfortable and relaxing….. highly recommend this place’s .

great experience, great coffee, nice staff

Lovely atmosphere and lots of tables compared to other cafes. However, I have not been satisfied with the food the last few times I have been. There have been hairs in my food on several occasions and also eggshells. Also, we have been given water glasses with lipstick marks on atleast twice now. Furthermore , the waiter/waitresses march our food/drinks around the tables before they realise it is ours, even though we give them our table number when ordering (this has happened every time). A nice place and location but a shame about the service and cleanliness.

The coffee took ages to arrive and when we were on our way home we realised we hadn’t had the cake we had paid for. Shame.

Food and service is always brilliant

Don’t know how I haven’t found this place before. The staff are ace and the place has a buzz. Suits all ages without feeling too old or too young. Well done guys!

Nice location, decent option for the area but I’m sorry but £3.70 for a cup of tea, not even a pot, is too much. It must put some people off. Perhaps this is just the way things are now in Bristol but surely this is too much.

Crafty Egg?... more like Rotten Egg. I reluctantly went back to the crafty egg on Fishponds road because FED was full, and the experience was worse than usual. For food that is so overpriced and desperately below average you would expect better customer service but no. I don't know what has changed but the vibe is gone. Staff seem inconvenienced by our meer presence and it would have been good not to be able to hear the loud conversations from the kitchen staff. Yes we could hear you and got the message loud and clear. Will not be going back, because I don't feel welcomed there.

The pancakes were amazing 🤩 The café is clean and welcoming. So dog friendly and our server was brilliant. so helpful and friendly 😁 would definitely return next time I'm in Bristol

Perfect weekend brunch spot. We ordered the halloumi hash and poutine breakfast - both of which were delicious! Also had bloody Marys which were soooo good. Made us and our dog very welcome. Thank you!

Nice plate of food that has various flavours

Food was lovely, relaxed atmosphere, staff were very friendly, will definitely be going back

One of the best spots in fishponds very good selection of local beer! Lovely staff and nice chilled atmosphere.

Excellent breakfast, we go frequently, quality ingredients, my favourite around - plus independence on tap, what more do you want? Great German guy serving, “cappuccino, great choice” love him!

Really good food and great service even when it was rammed

Friendly, healthy, great weekend brunch place

Blake was so lovely always we a smile in his face we are in love with him nor sure if he works here but if he doesnt you should employ him, the place just a normal pub but he deserve 5 stars. Very middle claaaaaassss we JUST ADORE it here

Love the vibe of the open mic night (Wednesdays 6-8pm), good selection of local draught and delicious coffee!

They don't take cash- when cash dies Crafty Egg shall know they helped along its demise.

Decent venue for a drink - friendly atmosphere and if you fancy a proper coffee with a bit of Latte art - see Blake! Dog friendly - but they do tend to keep running out of various drinks!

Meaty Crafty - ticks both quality & quantity boxes. Service was friendly and professional. Not uber hipster either, just a nice place that does good breakfasts.

Pricey but nice, kids portion of pancakes was huge!!

Good for having a bit of time with my daughter with good food and good chat

Tasty brunch and coffee but expensive. Outside seating and cool vibes inside.

Went two days in a row. Everything is excellent.

Excellent place. Good coffee and food.

Nice venue, was lots of choices for seating and it was comfortable. We went at a quiet time which was good as me and my friend were catching up. We didn't order any food, just a small cake and coffee. A couple of things went wrong with the order, mainly that they forgot the cake! The coffee was nice and smooth. We would go again and perhaps try out the food next time.

One of the worst places we’ve been in Bristol. From the service to the food there was no one thing we’ve left happy about. We’ve spent more than £30 without eating. My partner didn’t even touch the food! I’ve worked in hospitality before so I know I to do a good customer service and the guy that came to us definitely had no clue of what it means. Definitely first and last time

Good brunch, with a nice vibe. Quite expensive though

The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. They were very nice to our dog. Food was delicious too (we had the evening menu) with loads of good vegetarian options.

Today I had to wait a little while for a coffee - I realised that in maybe 30 visits this is the only issue I've ever had here. Always polite and friendly staff, and an important part of the neighborhood.

An amazing place to call in for a drink of food with a toddler. Staff are so kind and helpful

Beautiful food, beautiful menu, excellent service

We came in as a group of four for brunch and were met with a blonde plaited haired waitress who seemed annoyed to be at work on a Sunday. Luckily she wasn’t our server and instead we had a great guy called Toby who couldn’t do enough for us, when the kitchen messed up one of our orders he was very quick in making sure we got our replacement food quickly and made it very apparent he cared about our experience. Sadly the food was very overpriced and all the cutlery was dirty with chunks of food stuck to them, this means we wouldn’t go back but great feedback to Toby he did a brilliant job!

Used to really enjoy going to the Crafty Egg but the last 2 Saturdays in a row it has unexpectedly closed by 21:30 when opening hours have said it closes at midnight. Last week was a little quiet so thought it was a one off but this week there were full 5 tables of people having fun - we would have happily stayed until closing having drinks. Not only that, the staff would start putting chairs on tables and mopping the floor around you, making the last drink quite uncomfortable and felt very much hurried out. Such a shame :(

One of my favourite places! Best breakfast in Bristol, extremely mouthwatering, the garden is a great sun trap and the cocktails are so tasty. But most of all the staff just make this place soooo friendly and welcoming. Thank you to Toby for continually looking after me and my wife.

The food is very fresh and I thought the Meaty Poutine was outstanding and very generous . The atmosphere is very good; there is lots of space, the decor is relaxed and interesting and the music is well chosen and eclectic.

Lovely brunch spot with friendly servers! Tried the gut cleansing drink "the firestarter" for the first time😋 Recommends the brioche - very soft and fluffy without getting soggy, toasted just right. The bathroom is decently lit and clean too. 👍

Very nice brunch. Tasty food. Kimchi mushrooms were a hit. I'm amazed at how long people are willing to stand in line to get service for this however. Is it worth the wait ? Probs yes. Worth 1 hour wait? No One loo for this small, popular and nice venue, while serving potent coffee, one toilet is a crime. People eating along a bench meer inches from a person pooping. I suppose if you waited 1 hour you aren't concerned with the situation, but I felt a bit gross when I emerged after destroying that toilet. The glances from the bench eaters was enough to make me want hold my head in either shame or hold it up in triumph. Lest to say it's nice but you may come out with co flirting opinions as I just did. Happy queuing.

Busy with brunch customers of all ages at midday Saturday. Chatty, friendly staff, water brought without having to ask. Delicious freshly cooked American style pancakes, lovely coffee, great atmosphere...I'll be back

Lovely place, really friendly and engaged staff, a great atmosphere and incredible pizza. A real gem in Fishponds. Ps attended again and staff still brilliant and the new menu is amazing. Great beet too!

Visited the Crafty egg a few times for some casual drinks. But we have just had our first lunch here and it was delicious. Absolutely recommend the meaty poutine! Also dog friendly, our fury friend loves it too, he is always served a drink as soon as he walks through the door and made a fuss of.

Love this place, delicious food, friendly staff

This is a fantastic brunch spot you must try when you're in Bristol. The restaurant is always busy, but it's worth the wait. The food is delicious. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must-visit for brunch lovers!

Great place. My iced coffee was genuinely the best I have ever had. And the staff were all in very high spirits.

Fantastic place, wasn't the obvious place to spend the England final, yet was a great night, the crowd was small, talkative, kind, no drunk brutes screaming racial abuse at the TV. Great decore very comfy. Bar staff very bubbly, extremely friendly.

Fantastic breakfast. Great staff, location and the food was top notch! Will be coming back again.

Great quirky brunch spot that's great for veggies and vegans. Both their vegan and veggie fry ups were super tasty and interesting take on the classic. Coffee was smooth and full bodied

Good food, and usually very good service. Let down by the cleanliness of the men’s toilets, and the volume of the music being played, which makes it hard to have a conversation at a normal level.

Lovely breakfast, very welcoming with a relaxed and cool atmosphere 🙂

Excellent food, great staff and really attractive venue! Thank you!

Friendly staff set in a magical museum full of all sorts of memorabilia.

Excellent selection of small plates with equally great staff.

Been twice on a super busy Saturday and a quieter mid week. Both visits were brilliant with amazing service and gorgeous food. The very chipper gentleman waiter is lovely. We will be back again.

Not that friendly any more, let alone dog friendly! Used to love it in here when franco was here but its gone majorly downhill! Went in by myself had dogs with me who were very well behaved and on short lead. B4 leaving went to use the toilet, which was filthy as other reviews have mentioned, and no toilet roll. But thankfully i carry some with me in case dogs do anything that a poo bag doesn't pick up. cleaned b4 using and then on coming out was appoached by staff member and told that i can't take dogs with me into toilet! I will never again go there, plenty of other places to choose from who have much better level and speed of customer service and better coffee. If slow and poor quality service continue i think lots of people will be choosing to go else where!

Loved the hummus eggs here with the sourdough swap. Lovely atmosphere! The staff here remembered us when I came with different family members- even our specific orders!

brilliant place, very cozy, with friendly staff and hardly any wait time. food was delicious and staff were very accommodating when we brought our dog. would definitely come again.

Great, cheerful service. Tasty food.

Love this place. Please, never change your breakfasts.

Great place for brunch with young people & young families too. Food was great but could be improved.

Lovely breakfast/brunch spot with a great range of classic and unique dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters, and suitable for small and large groups alike. I got the smoked salmon potato hash which was the perfect portion and flavorful, other dishes ordered like the toast and kimchi braised mushrooms, or hummus eggs looked equally appetising - I would gladly try anything on the menu! Really friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere - highly recommend giving it a try! :)

Extremely great place with great staff too, I’d leave more stars if I could but alas, tripadvisor seem to not have any more stars available…. What I recommend is getting two double espressos, then a berry cherry smoothie.. mmmm you can’t have a better start to your day

One of the best places to have breakfast!

Stumbled in here once to try it out as a place to study and now I’m in there so often I basically live there. Amazing staff, amazing vibe, and I genuinely think they make the best latte in Bristol.

My food was missing aspects which was a shame but the flavour was good and our server Toby was so lovely and friendly and helpful! We were totally charmed by him and his friendly demeanour!

Was disappointed when the Crafty Egg stopped doing pizzas in the evenings as they were great. But was pleased to hear that they had started doing small plates in the evenings and was keen to try. Unfortunately after trying the small plates I was underwhelmed. Firstly they were out of flatbreads, so were being substituted by pita bread. This would be OK except we only received one pita bread which is not quite as substantial as a flatbread. At least it had been cut-up in an Apprentice-fasion to try and make it seem like more bread than it actually was... Also the; aubergine, roast potatoes and broccoli dishes came out just a few degrees warmer than room temperature. Personally, I find this kind of temperature a bit disconcerting in restaurant food. Mentioned the bread issue during the meal and afterwards but unfortunately the staff didn't seem to know what to do with the information. Hope they can sort it out.

A bit over hyped, but food and service is generally consistent and good. A bit pricy but cost of living etc.

Excellent egg based food. Pleasant surroundings.

I frequent this Crafty Egg and it’s always a nice place to grab a coffee, some food or a quiet drink in the evening. Their dedicated laptop area gives me a quiet space to work remotely. The staff are always very attentive and polite. The food and coffee are both excellent. Lovely decor, too.

Great brunch offers. Pea & avocado toast was delicious!

Really tasty food and atmosphere, some unique breakfast options as well. Food is quite expensive though plus a 8% service charge is included by default. Felt like it it was worth the price though but maybe not as an everyday breakfast.

Delicious food and great service

Great food and service, lovely venue. Fully recommend

Spilled unidentifiable liquid substance all over me. No apologies given. Got drink order wrong. Don't even know what a long black is: 1) First time gave me an Americano and when I complained 2) They gave me a double espresso. Poor service from a so-called 'Café'.

It wasn’t too busy when we arrived for breakfast. Order was taken fairly quickly and we joked about paying the service charge before knowing what the service would be like. Three of our four drinks arrived after a few minutes, the 4th didn’t turn up. After about 45 minutes we managed to attract the waiter and ask where the smoothie was and where are breakfasts were. We got a refund on the smoothie as we no longer wanted it. The 4 meals turned up eventually and were all cold, the waiter offered to re-heat them but we had been waiting so long by then we didn’t want to risk having to wait any longer. So we ate them cold. I am sure they would have been lovely if they had been hot. So £70 for a long wait for 4 cold breakfasts and 3 coffees seemed pretty expensive to me. We won’t be back. Not sure any members of staff noticed but the people on the table next to us left as no one came to take their order.

I wasn't going to write a public review here as I thought I'd be respectful and instead message them privately, but they chose to reply to my email using ChatGPT. I thoroughly checked and verified this, and then messaged them about it, and they admitted to it. Clearly they didn't care enough about my visit to reply personally. They blamed its use on grammar and spelling, (which I struggle with too) however, when reversing the prompt to ChatGPT the reply was almost word for word identical, showing it was used for more than just a spell and grammar check. Anyway in a nutshell, we came here to celebrate a special occasion. The food took over an hour to come out, by which point it was cold, the staff were uninterested and unapologetic, but agreed to reheat it which then took an additional 20 mins. It was missing things listed on the menu, and the weirdest thing about the experience was we were prompted with a up-front service charge...which I felt was quite odd considering at that point we hadn’t really received any service. I understand how important these service charges are in hospitality, and I don’t begrudge paying them if I feel like I’ve received good service during my visit, but this was a very awkward and odd exchange. A real shame as we had ate at the Gloucester Road site earlier in the month and had a great experience, which was why I messaged them first before running to google, but their lack of interest to make it right has made me think twice about returning.

Absolutely love the Egg! It’s our new (ok not so new!) local. Great decor, wonderful plants, great atmosphere, superb staff and gorgeous food!

Delicious as always, portion was maybe slightly smaller today or I may have been hungrier than normal!!

Good lighting, receptive staff, coffee that isn’t burned and music that makes you take your headphones off - as you can see I just moved here so this might be my new local

Went on a busy Sunday. Had to wait 10 minutes for a table which was fine. Afterwards things went downhill. Orders appeared to be getting mixed up as we were offered drinks on 2 occasions that were not ours. The vegan meal had already run out of an item by 1030. When our meals arrived my baked beans had already congealed and the meal was not warm. The pancake meal with bacon (2thin streaky rashers) was a disappointment. With the Crafty Egg asking over £13 for a small fry up they need to do better.

We come fairly regularly and always enjoy our meals, especially the Turkish eggs. The atmosphere is always lively with lots of dogs and kids (beware -often noisy!) Staff are all lovely, although often there's not enough of them so be prepared to wait quite a while at busy times. Don't love that you have to pay right after ordering (including deciding how much to tip before you've really had any service!) but it's a good place, we'll keep coming back to.

Eggs are free range. Reasonably priced.

Very disappointing visit…. We came here after reading such great reviews. Upon arrival we were sat quickly with menus, however we were ignored/forgotten about once seated. We were left for over 20minutes before a server approached us and then asked if we wanted to pay service charge straight after finally ordering? The drinks then took ages to come and when the food arrived we were not happy. We had paid to swap our bread for a sourdough one, however we were given one piece (bear in mind it cost £1.50 to swap) which was burnt and bitter. Very expensive for a below subpar experience.

Everything is spot on. Food is fab and so is the service. Can't fault it!

The food is nice, but I don't think it is worth queueing for, but to each his own. Bf got the fry up, and I got the fondue. Coffee was nice. Try to get there early, we went for 930 and were able to sit down.

disgraceful customer service from the manager

Huge selection of craft beers and other interesting drinks. Lots of seating and friendly, if slow service. The small plates are very inventive and great for vegetarians and vegans. Almond and garlic dip is incredible. Interesting art exhibition in the car park at the back

Looking forward to coming back again! Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thanks

Amazing service highly recommended I really enjoyed 😉

All round great went for late brunch filing and tasty 😋 👌

Visted for brunch. Had heard good things about the food. Very disappointed. The sausage was burnt on one side and reheated. The bacon was cold. There was far too much tomato salsa. Searched for the beans so too few. The mushrooms were barely warm. The toast was good. The coffee was good as was the mug of Earl Grey tea. The plates were cold so the food was barely warm. An expensive mistake. Will not revist any time soon.
