Mockingbird in Bristol, City of

Better than the Foos we had in Budapest We had a couple of breakfasts and the cabbage dish. They were all superb, filling and great value. Will be going back next weekend (and quite possibly the one after!)

Absolutely incredible food, how lucky Clifton are to have this gem right on their doorstep! Highly recommend the Hungarian Rustic Breakfast or Hungarian hot dog!

We had the hungarian afternoon tea after our wedding ceremony and we were surprised by alcohol free celebration bubbles. the food and the services is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended. It was not our first time there and everything is exceptional every single time. Cakes are absolutely to die for :)

As we were staying in Bristol overnight we decided to come here for Saturday brunch. We’re glad we did as the full Hungarian breakfast was delicious and great value too; the sausage, eggy bread and spicy beans were particular highlights. Coffee was also great quality. Oh and before I forget - service was friendly and efficient too. We normally stay around Temple Meads when we visit Bristol, but we’d definitely make the trip here again. Would thoroughly recommend.

Wanted somewhere new to try for brunch and this was fantastic! Mr C had a full breakfast, I had a croissant and we both had coffees. Lovely coffee, great friendly service and dog friendly. We def be back!

Amazing, delicious food served in a lovely atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. A must visit.

The decor is inviting and the staff are even more so, the food was great, bevs were refreshing. What else could you want? I had a lovely little stop here before getting a train, it was very quick but I can see myself taking my time here too :)

Lovely little place, excellent service by Brigitta, the owner. The food was amazing, nicely served and tasted wonderful. 100% recommend for both Hungarians and anybody else.

Fabulous food and excellent service in a nice atmosphere. Great selection of cakes, I loved them, thank you. We will go back soon, I'm sure about it.

Very nice food and drinks, highly recommend , is a small cafe but last time it was full with very nice people

The service at the Budapest cafe was excellent. The Cafe's clean, bright and cosy lt felt like being back home in Hungary. l had a very nice latte. Thank you all l was able forget for a while the hum drum of everyday life. Aniko

The food is fantastic! I love it. If you up for nice big breakfast this is the best place. I'm just in love with the way they make theie Hungarian Rustic Breakfast. Super nice.

We were always thinking 'we must go in there'. Last Sunday, we were in Bristol and hunting for a brunch. Looked in thru the window and it seemed full. *Sigh*. But the owner popped her head out and beckoned us in. (I mean how often does that ever happen i.e. never!). So immediately we loved the place with that personal touch. Sorted us a table and the service was amazing. So warm and welcoming. Great selection (I went for the Full Hungarian Breakfast!). Seemed a real family affair running the restaurant. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and food. Would highly recommend.

This is the best brunch we have had in Bristol! The food is amazing - all freshly cooked and served with a smile. This is a small family business and the people are lovely. Make sure you try the spicy beans!!

My girlfriend and I visited during a recent trip to Bristol, and was not disappointed. My girlfriend is Hungarian, and I am English and we was served in both languages throughout and the food lived up to the high standards experienced in Budapest itself! Great service, and a great breakfast! Thank you!

Lovely alternative to traditional cafe breakfast with a range of Hungarian options and a wide drinks menu. Highly recommended.

This place is one of my “go to” places, serving tasty high quality food with a Hungarian / Central European twist, a welcome change from the fairly bland British food. Good service too, from the two sisters who own this place. Recommended.

Having a weekend in Bristol and I googled for a good place near our accomodation for breakfast. This place had such consistent and positive reviews that we decided to try it. Oh whow we are glad we did!!.And we are also glad we.got there soon after opening!! The place was already buzzing and all the tables being used or reserved. Luckily they were able to accommodate us, as one table wasn't needed til a bit later. I'm glad they did....the food was simple, flavoursome, authentic and well presented. The choice is excellent and the quality high. Considering how busy it was, the staff were helpful and friendly. Obviously popular with couples, friends, families..and with a lively atmosphere. Andaptop/tablet free!! Hurrah for that... if we lived nearby, a daily visit would be required!

Myself and a group of friends visited Budapest cafe recently and loved it. The woman who front of house was really lovely and was really efficient despite the cafe being full, the food came in good time and was delicious. No complaints at all. Thank you for having us :)

Absolutely beautiful! The coffee , the food, the staff, the setting just perfect!!! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! It is actually the nicest breakfast I’ve had. I had the Hungarian scrambled eggs with chorizo , pototo and sour dough bread and my hubby had...

Budapest Cafe was in the same road as the guest rooms I was staying in during a recent solo trip to Bristol. Wasn't sure what to expect as I have very little knowledge of Hungarian food. Popped in for a full Hungarian breakfast. Pretty similar...

This is one of our favourite brunch places in Bristol. Always have a fab brunch here - food is amazing and the two sisters who run the cafe are really nice and friendly! Highly recommended!

Just had a lovely breakfast at the Budapest Cafe, Clifton. Little gem of a place and I will be going back, without a doubt. Great food and charming service. Would recommend a visit!

The coffee was good, but the staff were rude. We ordered some coffee and the staff member seemed frustrated that we weren't ordering food. If they'd made it clear that you had to order food before entering, we would have gone elsewhere. Alternatively, they could...

Always serving super delicious foods, no matter if you havinga breakfast, or lunch or just starving for some sweets. Very nice full of flavour hungarian cakes. highly recomended.

We visit Budapest Cafe whenever we overnight in Bristol as there is nowhere better for a delicious, interesting and hearty brunch with warm and friendly service. The portions are very generous and the flavours are interesting and mouth-watering! There is a wide range of choice...

Great service, delicious authentic food at reasonable prices. I particularly like the 2 sausages with sauerkraut but it's all great.

Having moved in local to this little cafe, we decided to have brunch here (also thanks to Boris for paying half of the tab) I opted for the full Hungarian breakfast & 2 extra sausages - I know, fatty. My other half went for the...

Stopped in here for brunch while looking around the University. What a lovely hidden gem. Between us we had the Full Hungarian breakfast, the Rustic Breakfast and the smashed avocado & feta which was beautifully topped off with siracha & beetroot yoghurt. Lovely lady took...

Highly recommended for both service and food. Excellent Hungarian full breakfast. Went the extra mile to accommodate one of our party who didn't want bread.

We love this cafe, the food is so tasty and well priced. The brunch offering is better than anything else in the whiteladies road area and they also have really great vegetarian options. Really friendly, relaxed and authentic. Would recommend!

I been there a lot of times since I found this coffee shop. Really beautiful place to have a brunch or breakfast. The interior is very friendly, just like the staff. Excellent homemade food and quite big portions. Also the cakes and pastries are delicious...

One of my favourite coffee shop in Bristol. I’ve visited this place several times and it’s always warm and welcoming. Everything fresh and homemade, decent portions, quality food. The staff are lovely and helpful. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to everyone and their homemade...

Nagyon szuper a kávézó. Imádtam, hogy magyarként Angliában Magyar kávézóban voltam ❤Magyar kiszolgálás, ételek. És a meglepi mákos gubám gyertyákkal...

Gran desayuno, personal encantador, lugar acogedor y excelentes precios. Este es un buen resumen de lo que es este lugar.Fui allí con mi novia con la idea de tomar un desayuno inglés, pero terminamos con un desayuno típico húngaro (completamente desconocido para nosotros) y fue un gran éxito.Teníamos el "plato rústico húngaro" y el "Lechto vegetariano". Ambos eran increíblemente sabrosos.Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar.¡Nos encantó!

Tökèletes ki szolgàlàs baràtsagisak ès közvetlenek voltak. Az gulyasuk valami isteni volt. Ès a sütiük is nagyon finom volt! Èn csak ajalani tudom ez a helyet! Koszonjuk :)

Nos quedamos muy decepcionados con la calidad y el aspecto de "valor". Nos cobraron casi 20 por lo que eran dos pequeños desayunos con uno de ellos muy pobre, i. mi. el hash de camote que consistía en hojas de ensalada en un plato, camote en cubitos cubierto con un huevo frito. Cobrar casi 7 por esto fue para nosotros "no es un buen valor", además de no ser apetitoso o de ninguna manera sustancial.El desayuno vegetariano también era bastante pequeño por la cantidad cobrada.Sugerimos que otros cafés locales independientes sirvan comida de mejor calidad que justifique el precio que están pidiendo.

Visitamos en mi cumpleaños para Brunch ya que el Café está en la calle donde nuestro hijo se queda para la universidad. ¡Qué hallazgo! La comida es interesante y sabrosa y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Todo es casero y saludable. El servicio fue encantador y amable. El café era fuerte y la casa un regalo especial en una mañana fresca. Muy recomendable.

Had an overnight stay in Bristol and chose the Budapest cafe for Sunday morning brunch. So pleased that we did, as the menu was fantastic and the food was really lovely. Great coffee too! The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely visit again, next time we're in the area.

Sweet cafe. Relaxed and friendly. Came for brunch and ended up with the Hungarian Goulash special. Warming and very satisfying on a grim wet Autumn day. The fruit lemonades are the perfect accompaniment.

We popped in one Wednesday morning for Breakfast and had a full English and tea. The food was delicious and just the right amount. The service was very friendly as well

It was great to have wholesome tasty breakfast served so quickly. Lovely place with really nice staff.

We came across this cafe whilst visiting my friend's daughter who lives close by and like the other reviewers really loved it....and like many of the other reviewers also had the goats cheese and avocado - all 3 of us were wowed by it and didn't feel hungry again until late evening.

Encantado de tener el café de Budapest como mi local. Ahora nunca moriré de hambre. Clima caluroso que induce indulgencia en el café de hielo húngaro. Goulash siempre disponible y una excelente selección de platos para el desayuno y el almuerzo. Las tortas y pasteles de recetas tradicionales son los mejores en Bristol. Mesas tranquilas por fuera y espacio cómodo por dentro. Encantador equipo que sabe de servicio y buenas experiencias. Tan feliz que te mudaste.

The avocado and goats cheese toast is delicious! We sat on a lovely outside table and enjoyed the sun. The lady who runs the cafe is so lovely too and recommended a hungarian cake to try too!

Visited for the first time today and loved it. The service was friendly and the food was great. Had the Hungarian Rustic Plate to try something different and it was delicious! Will definitely be back to try other breakfast options. Coffee was really good too. This might become our favourite.

Lovely coffe,amazing breakfast and perfect atmosphere. I've visited this place several times and it's always a lovely experience, can't get enough of the tasty homemade cakes and the breakfast they offer. Highly recommend to visit this place, simply the best coffee shop in Bristol.

Friendly service,tasty home made dishes and cakes,flavorful coffee with milk alternatives,lovely atmosphere,highly recommended for coffee lovers and who would try something new or different flavors

Mi hija y yo fuimos a desayunar y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos desde el momento en que entramos (y mientras estábamos allí) - un menú extenso e inusual, así que elegimos lo que se veía bien y no nos decepcionó en lo más mínimo. Creo que tenía blandas batatas en espinacas con un huevo frito con un aguacate y queso, pero en cualquier caso fue fantástico. El único problema es que ya es hora de comer y no tengo hambre (creo que aquí hay un juego de palabras). ¿Están usando algún ingrediente secreto?

Una pequeña cafetería muy acogedora, bien escondida de un ajetreado Clifton del domingo. Buen ambiente y delicioso brunch. Teníamos tostadas de masa fermentada con puré de aguacate y queso de cabra, remolacha y salsa de sriracha.

A lovely cafe. Excellent food, service and environment. Definitely going back. The bacon butty with tomato jam was wonderful x

Algo un poco diferente pero no demasiado elegante. Mockingbird no pierde de vista los fundamentos esenciales de un café: un buen café, personal amable y servicial, comida bien cocinada. Con todos estos firmemente en su lugar, el giro del sur es una ventaja agradable. Nos sorprendió encontrar el lugar no abarrotado y disfrutamos de la decoración ligera y simple. Definitivamente regresaremos.

Had a quick pit stop here. Light and all a bit hipster inside. Coffee very good as was cake. Surly service though!

Very nice cafe, small but great menu. Coffee was lovely, hot and smooth. Laid back atmosphere friendly staff and clean surroundings.

Delicious breakfast of marinated mushrooms, cheese scrambled eggs on sourdough. Only one if a choice of delicious Southern USA delicacies here.

Pleasant - coffee actually hot - but website and facebook not updated so you risk a journey only to find that it is closed, as when it snowed.

We were really looking forward to visiting the Mockingbird having read the Tripadvisor reviews. We were disappointed with what we found, unfortunately. The food is okay - my breakfast was over-spiced, which was a shame, and a surprise, given that I like spice, just not at breakfast time in a dish which isn't listed as being spicy!! I ended up not eating it, I mentioned the thing about the spice to the staff and they seemed disinterested. There are no gluten free bread options. The staff aren't that friendly, and this was on a day when it wasn't all that busy.

Popped in for Saturday morning breakfast treat. Welcoming bright and cheery with equally friendly staff to match. Chose smashed avocado on sourdough which came with a beautiful beetroot and goats cheese accompaniment. I added a side of streaky bacon - tastiest breakfast I've had in a long time.

Small but well thought-out and imaginative menu. Charming place, much like the road itself. They know their coffee, which even in this day and age of coffee appreciation isn't always the case.

Llegamos con la intención inicial de simplemente trabajando en un café. Empezamos con una taza de té y un latté, la antigua, que era precioso, esta última que mi novio dijo que sabía raro. . Había algo agria.. Finalmente conseguimos algo de almuerzo - un bocadillo de bacon y tomate cada una, y nos quedamos realmente impresionados.

Tuve la patata dulce de patata con huevos horneados y queso de cabra y aguacate en el lateral. Mi hermano tenía la galleta de desayuno con salchichas.

Great interior and chilled sounds. So pleased to find this cafe on our way from Clifton to whiteladies. Great home cooked cake and lovely coffee. Friendly service.

Seriously good decaf flat white , chilled funk and delicious moist coconut and pineapple cake - we'll be back!

Great food quality and every week a new sophisticated sandwich which is perfect for lunch as they serve it with a fine coleslaw and you can add a side.

Buena comida, ambiente encantador y la perfecta pantalla blanca! Recomendaría un viaje a Alma Vale Road

Este desayuno almuerzo a través de café es, de lejos, uno de mis lugares favoritos en Bristol. Está escondido fuera de Whiteladies Road, pero siempre está lleno. Un verdadero tesoro escondido.

El tamaño justo, con un tranquilo ambiente peculiar. Informal y auténtico. Gran pantalla blanca. Desayuno abundante y saludable. No hay huevos escalfados.

Today I met a friend at the Mockingbird cafe in the morning for coffee and perhaps brunch. On arriving, I ordered a flat white and sat on one of the little wooden tables. It's a lovely atmosphere - cosy, quiet and homely. The two guys behind the counter are so friendly and polite, so they make you feel welcome at at ease. I felt comfortable just drinking my coffee (which was brought to me) and reading the newspaper, until my friend arrived. We chatted for over an hour without feeling pressured to leave and it's such a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It's really nice to find a quiet place to just have a catch-up with a friend! After a little while, I ordered a green tea (they use the brand Canton which is great) and my friend had the soup of the day (Pepper and Tomato) which was made freshly and came with some lovely buttered sourdough bread. I tried a little bit and it was so tasty!You can tell that the food is made fresh and the guys have a real passion for their ingredients. I noticed the way they greeted some people that they were regulars but everyone who walked in was given a warm welcome. I'd definitely return for lunch to try some of the food and just to have a relaxed coffee!

I spent a lot of time in the US and I particularly miss the cuisine of the deep south. Mockingbird gave me my fix - their signature mississippi mud coffee was sublime and their breakfast biscuit was perfection - the tomato jam in particular. Beautiful, cosy interior and incredibly reasonably priced even before the student discount! Truly a remarkable little place

This was our first visit to this wonderful café and what a treat it was. A lot of thought has gone into making the flavours work and work they do, my wife had the sweet potato hash and I had the full breakfast, topped off with a really nice coffee. Will visit again soon.

Breakfast meeting with a nice coffee, great personal customer service.Eat in or takeaway. Certainly worth a detour in Clifton for a coffee at the least!

This is a fine independent cafe on Alma Vale rd; it has a flavour of the American Deep South and serves superb coffee. Well worth striking out from Whiteladies Road to find. Authentic and different.

Visited Mockingbird recently for tea and cake. We were showing our friends a few of our favourite Bristol spots and were excited to bring them up to Clifton for tea! A truly lovely spot with great decor I am glad we chose Mockingbird. The flat white and breakfast tea were lovely. We did order a latte that arrived as a homemade lemonade but we didn't say anything because it too was lovely!! Great selection of biscuits (our favourite was the peanut butter and jam), only one 'cake' option (a very tasty bourbon & apple slice) but we did arrive late in the day!Last, but never least, friendly welcoming staff. We'll definitely be back, thank you!

I have been to the Mockingbird many times. They offer a variety of breakfasts and lunches on a menu with an American influenceFood all fresh and prepared by Oliver and his teamCan be busy especially during term time

What a fantastic little restaurant, serving food with the taste of the American south but the added bonus is proper tea

I met some friends here for lunch as have been before and the food was amazing. Our second visit was just as good. I had mashed avocado and goats cheese on sour dough bread, absolutely gorgeous!Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonable prices, drinking water available. Can't find any faults.

Me and my roommate spotted this American style cafe a few weeks back and thought we'd try it out as it's just five doors down from our apartment.Walking into a relatively low-key shop front we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, generous portion sizes and low prices. I opted for the sausage, egg and cheese biscuits with sausage gravy. It was absolutely stunning, the gravy rich and delicious, biscuits firm without being too stodgy, and the sausage patty was huge. The best and most authentic American style breakfast I've had outside of the states.The portion was so big I struggled to finish, but it was too good to leave even a morsel on the plate. At just £6.50 (£5 without the gravy) the prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely be going back.

If you're ever around Whiteladies area, I totally recommend you scout out Mockingbird. Great coffee and nice staff in a venue that carries a feel of oldschool Americana. Relaxed, with some great lunch bites; a real jem.

Having heard of this "Deep South" styled café via various friends' recommendations and the odd "places to visit" in Bristol lists, I was glad to finally give it a try.Slightly hidden off Whiteladies road it has a fittingly quiet location. No doubt helped by a sunny, fresh winter day this place did not disappoint. The decor was tasteful, clean cut and refreshingly light. Brunch was supposedly Mockingbirds speciality and by turning up at half past one I was worried that my lackadaisical time keeping was going to have cost me the chance to sample it. Panic not, brunch is served until 3. This paid dividends for me. I had the full breakfast plate which was the perfect antidote to a slight hangover and overall a very enjoyable meal. My friend had the granola and the hazelnut hot chocolate (which she tells me she has gone to great length to recreate at home but is yet to get close). A sly glance at the other full tables revealed to me that basically anything would have been a good choice.As a self proclaimed "coffee connoisseur" or as my friends often prefer "snob"/ "pretentious tit". I was impressed by a nicely patterned and well made flat white that was promptly placed on the table. For some people the pattern, or lack thereof, on top of their coffee is irrelevant ("you just drink it anyway"), but it shows the attention to detail and high level of quality that a café is aspiring to.My only qualm with the Mockingbird is also one of the things I liked. It is a small café. The visible kitchen behind the till is marginally smaller than the seating area and we were lucky to arrive at the right time to get a table. Value wise the brunch was 6.50 and certainly worth it. The staff were all very friendly making the overall experience faultless. As mentioned by others, in a city rich with "alternative" coffee shops, Mockingbird has something about it which actually does make it feel unique. I look forward to returning and trying other meals and would whole heartedly recommend this place.At the till there was a sign that read "tip like an American to get the true experience". I did, because it deserved it.

What a lovely find this little cafe is! Very small and cosy - went for Sunday morning breakfast and have nothing but good things to say about the place. Food and service were both excellent. Had the smashed avocado and goats cheese which was to die for and my daughter had the buttermilk biscuit sandwich and is itching to take her friends so it must have been good. 5 stars all the way.

This is a relaxing little cafe with friendly staff and good food. I have had the sweet potato hash baked egg twice it was so good.

Nice staff, great food and coffee and refreshing alternative to the generic alternatives that now dominate Bristol!

I can't express enough how fantastic this place is, food is all delicious and a drastic change from anything else in Bristol, the staff are enthusiastic and everything feels as though it's been prepared with love, the decor is pretty, unpretentious and cozy.

Quaint little cafe not too far from me. I was looking for somewhere to take my family and I settled on here. Being from Georgia I was interested to see how well they captured the joy that is a buttermilk biscuit - I was not disappointed! Friendly staff, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

I love Mockingbird! I go at least once a week to try out the sandwich of the week, and it never disappoints! Great coffee, top notch, different food, friendly team, and lovely setting. Well done Oli and team, see you next week to try out another dish.

I liked this place so much I came back the same week. The breakfast menu sounds awesome and at the weekend includes southern classics like biscuits and gravy and grits. Really good coffee, delicious grilled cheese and free babyccinos. I really liked the furnishings, magazines to read and friendly staff too.I've given them 4 instead of 5 stars because after taking my drinks order they didn't make it until they'd taken food orders for 4 or 5 other people meaning I was waiting for over 10 minutes. The place did seem unexpectedly busy in their defence.

I was looking for somewhere to have a healthy breakfast before an interview and stumbled across this gem. I ordered a skinny latte and granola with honey and banana. Both came in adorable little green cups; they've got sizes for cereal bang on! My server was lovely and the breakfast was fantastic!

I loved this place! The decoration was really nice and cosy and the music also! The people there were friendly and eager to welcome us and the food was excellent!! I had the thanksgiving sandwich which was awesome and the smores desert! Try them! My iced coffee could be a little larger, but still one of the cutest little places to go!

Checking out Bristol places, checked in to have brunch on a sunny day. The place is nice, simply decorated, reasonably priced. Had the sandwich of the week which was THANKS GIVING grilled sandwich, really tasty and full filling. Menu its quite nice with options for all tastes

We called into Mockingbird on a wet Saturday. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The coffee was excellent and we had a great brunch cooked fresh from scratch. There were some interesting dishes on the menu. We will definitely go back.

Great staff, great coffee and great food. I go in there for a chat as much as anything else, a really personal service that is way more friendly than high street coffee shops. Creates a great atmosphere.

What a great little cafe. Really good coffee and interesting food. A pleasant change from the ubiquitous bacon and eggs

Breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee - everything in Mockingbird is delicious and served in a great, relaxed atmosphere by the lovely staff. There is always something unique to try on the menu if your feeling adventurous but there are also simple dishes like scrambled eggs on toast. Mockingbird is the perfect place to find a decent meal and a perfect coffee which is sometimes surprisingly difficult to find in Clifton. Love it.

Go here a fair bit, as I live really close and it's always really nice. Great place to do work. The gravy on the breakfast biscuit is a must on the weekends

Lovely staff. Proper leaf tea. Lovely Latte. Really nice food. Free wifi in this interestinf little street in Clifton.

A cute, well decorated American South themed café, which serves really excellent coffee and great value food, from sweet toast to savoury buttermilk buscuits. The staff are fantastic, I love stopping in here for a chat and a coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

We love studying in here as the cafe is so lovely and light, the breakfasts are incredible and the staff are the most inviting we've ever met. It's such a homely little place and the tea refills keep us going.. We really recommend the breakfast biscuit and the cakes (they're freshly made and taste like heaven)!

There are so many great things about this place! Firstly, the staff are the loveliest and chattiest people. Secondly the coffee is top notch and you'll never get a bad cup. The place looks nice, it smells nice; the food is tastier, more interesting and better value than others such as BTP. Can't recommend enough.

Mockingbird offers a great selection of food with the flavours of the American South, biscuits for breakfast freshly baked daily are a must. For an American themed eatery they haven't forgotten the British love of tea, proper leaf tea and a reminder of when to pour. Great service and great food worth making the effort to find Mockingbird

I love the idea of a quirky American-themed place doing dishes completely outside the normal of what's available. And the space inside is gorgeous when you look through the window (although don't be fooled into thinking the back garden is part of the café).The problem is the execution. Twice I've been in their opening hours and been told that food wasn't available (once run out of ingredients, once just arbitrarily closing early). It really irritates me when a place can't control stock or doesn't stick to hours when you've made the effort to go there.Service is mixed - not hugely friendly, but generally polite. However the soundtrack is fun and in line with the theme.A place I'd like to like more than I do.
