Montgomery's in Bristol, City of

Breakfast bacon bap and a cup of tea x 2 was all we ordered. I took ages and had to complain before e could get or simple order. Another table next to us was like a sketch from Faulty Towers with wrong food over and over again. Even our bacon bap had no sauce that was on the order.

This is a great place to enjoy a drink and some delicious cake whilst walking the dockside at Wapping Wharf. Montgomery’s offers a comfortable relaxing atmosphere and sensible pricing. We went in on a cold December afternoon, were welcomed and not rushed even though it was quite late. The Coffee and Walnut cake was exceptional and my companion had a HUGE scone with jam and cream. Certainly we would recommend it highly.

This a small but very freindly cafe attached to and art centre with pictures for sale and framing services. The cafe make thrir own cakes and the lemon drizzle cake is a spectacular. Great coffee and freindly service made for a great visit. would certsainly go again

Visited Montgomery’s today with my wife and daughter and we were subjected to the rudest experiences ever in a cafe or restaurant by an inexperienced staff member, who was totally in the wrong and completely out of her depth. Basically on a cold wintery day the staff member opened the front doors and despite representations from customers about the unacceptably cold draft coming in she insisted that it was uncomfortably warm behind the counter and refused point blank to close the door over again. To make matters worse she then said that if it was too cold she could cancel our order and we were free to leave which we promptly did vowing never to return. No loss as there are several more customer friendly cafes nearby who put the comfort and wishes of customers first and foremost. The attitude and behaviour or the staff member was beyond belief and well beyond was is expected or acceptable.

Buen bocado rápido para comer y algunas buenas cervezas para elegir. Entorno encantador y tienda interesante al lado también.

Good food and drinks friendly staff and a wide variety of cakes salads sandwhiches quiche etc. Plus it's next door to the art framing and picture gallery. Worth a visit.

Firstly this cafe didn't provide hot food at 14.30 (despite the menu saying service until 15.30)!!! The member of staff serving my family and friends smiled a total of zero times, she rolled her eyes and shook her head at her colleague as we tried to establish the menu oprions instead of helping us out to understand the system. Additionally I am pretty sure she turned and shared a word about us to her colleague! We were polite, tried to be understanding and simply wanted a quick snack! I Can't comment on the food yet because I'm so disappointed that I've written this review before the food even arrived! In the end food was delicious, but that much less if you already feel unwelcome in a place!

We stopped here after going on a trip on the Matthew, Excellent coffee, lovely cake and selection for Gluten free clients

We came for a light lunch and found this to be a delightful little place. A good variety of sandwiches, quiche, rolls, and lots of home made cakes! Plus a good variety of drinks. Very pleasant staff, clean and tidy tables, food very enjoyable and would have no hesitation in returning here, especially as prices very reasonable.

Today I spent an hour in this cafe having cake with my overtired 14 month old while waiting to be picked up from town by my husband. At first my toddler sat in the Highchair but he started getting bored, so I put him down and he wanted to wheel his pram round and round in circles. There was nobody in the cafe at this point so he did that for about half an hour, with me helping him steer the pram around tables the whole time. As soon as some customers came in I then moved the pram back to our table out of their way. The customers then left and my son was toddling around. I stayed close behind him so when he tried to get to anywhere he shouldn’t go, I steered him away. The cafe had an adjoining art gallery with expensive looking glass frames at toddler level inside, and the glass door was open and he of course ran straight through to the art gallery, so I went in and picked him up and took him back through the door to the cafe, closing the door behind me. Next thing I know a surly woman had barked at me from behind the counter “No shutting the door!” I explained that my son was running into the art gallery and I don’t want him in there breaking expensive stuff and her reply was “Well you shouldn’t let him run around really should you!” ..... First of all, uh, WHAT? You do realise I own a child not a robot, right? He doesn’t have an off switch, trust me I’ve checked! Second of all... I cannot stop my toddler wanting to run around, what am I to do, keep him in a death grip?! I can totally understand if I was just letting him run amok but I was following behind him everywhere, my bloody back aches! There were also no customers at all (possibly due to the friendly service..) so I wasn’t in anyone’s way. Just really rude and unnecessary. Won’t be back which isn’t a big loss as it’s just an average cafe, nothing special. I have to say the young guy working there was really friendly however.

This is a perfectly adequate tea shop attached to an art gallery. Not particularly trendy and perhaps a bit bland? and possibly aiming for a different clientele than most coffee shops, but they had a nice range of cakes, lovely looking quiches and the service was good too.

Popped into Montgomery’s the other Saturday morning as we were turned away from another restaurant whose doors were open at 10.45 but told go away till 11am as not open. Found staff in Montgomery’s to be polite, helpful, my other half had eggs Benedict which when they arrived was a very generous portion. I had the vegetarian quiche warmed up with a little salad which was very nice. All in all lovely experience.

We visited here on the 28th December in the early afternoon. It was quiet with only one other table. I stood at the till and was completely ignored, no acknowledgment of our existence at all despite being stood in front of me. No smile, no ‘ be with you in a moment ‘, nothing. We even sat down for 5 minutes after being ignored hoping that someone might attend, but no one did. I don’t know if it is arrogance or ignorance, but if you don’t like people why have a cafe?!!! The 2 main staff members were a young man with reddish brown hair and a middle aged woman who looked in a foul mood-both are ignorant of potential customers. They didn’t even give eye contact or smile. A customer complained that the soup was cold whilst we were stood there-she seemed fed up too. We eventually gave up and walked out. Avoid this place at all costs as there are plenty of other cafes-we went to the one at the museum where the staff are efficient and friendly.

A small café attached to the adjacent art gallery, we’ve looked in here on a number of occasions when browsing the gallery, but never popped in until now. On this occasion, as Pigsty just around the corner wanted 30 minutes just to provide a take-away Scotch egg, we decided to give it a go. There’s a tempting looking selection of cakes displayed on the counter, including a jam sponge and chocolate caramel shortbread. Nice to see the traditional favourites, instead of so many places that try to be a bit different, not always successfully! This time though, due to a recent over indulgence of mince pies and Christmas cake, we opted for something savoury and tried both of the two quiches, one of which was a tuna, and the other a ham and cheese. We were asked if we’d like it warmed and we decided we would, so we were invited to sit and it would be brought over. So far, so good, but there was definitely a few of the service bits that could be brushed up. The young guy behind the till asked where we were sitting, even though it was obvious we’d only just wandered in and weren’t sitting anywhere. It’s only a small café and from where he was stood he could easily have seen where we went, so why couldn’t if have just noted it down then? Or even just remembered and brought it over, it’s not exactly massive in here! When the drinks were brought over he asked which was which, even though we had both ordered separately. A small thing perhaps, but the same guy that took the order bringing them over a few minutes later….is that too much to ask? And then the quiches were brought served atop a paper serviette and plate. The serviette had disintegrated and stuck to the bottom of the quiche – it was absolutely useless to use and I had to pull bits of soggy paper out of my food. The quiches themselves were on the whole pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but certainly decent enough and a generous portion, although even so they seemed a little expensive at almost a fiver, especially as there were no accompaniments. My latte was also pretty good, as was a green tea across the table, although disappointingly, no way to stop it brewing such as a bag that could be removed or leaves in a submersible strainer. Thus by the time my wife came to pour a second cup it was far too stewed to be drinkable, and it had also clearly been made with water far hotter that the recommended 80°C - 85°C for green tea. So, overall, a pleasant enough spot and I might return to check out some of the cakes, but they really need to make quite a few tweaks to the service to get the most out of it.

Drop in cafe with good food near SS Great Britain. Rather pricey though and service was very slow and haphazard.

Habíamos ido a ver a la Gran Bretaña de las SS y fuimos a tomar una taza de té. El personal era amable y servicial. Tomamos té y tostamos tartas. Ellos vinieron con mantequilla y mermelada y eran encantadores. También tenía un rollo de salchicha hecho en casa que era grande y lleno de sabor. Era un lugar encantador para parar con un ambiente muy agradable. También proporcionan agua helada de forma gratuita.

Apareció durante un paseo por el agua para conseguir algunos cafés para llevar, se encontró con un mal servicio al cliente y en general. Tomó un tiempo bizzarely mucho tiempo para que dos Americanos se los llevaran a pesar de que no estaba particularmente ocupado. El personal era desagradable y torpe. No volvería a este establecimiento.

Apareció en un paseo a lo largo de la costa a las 4 o / c. La gente en comer y beber, no hay signos. ¡Dos empleados en la parte de atrás de la cocina, uno de ellos levantó la vista y nos vio y luego ignoró totalmente nuestra presencia! Ni siquiera un "estamos cerrados" o "con usted en un minuto". Así votamos con nuestros pies y llevamos nuestra costumbre al kiosco por el antiguo puente giratorio. ¿Algún nuevo entrenamiento requerido creo?

I regularly visit Mokoko but thought I would give this little cafe a visit. As soon as I walked in I was insulted by Esme, one of the members of staff behind the counter. She didn't realise I could hear what she was saying. I was completely shocked. We regularly visit the Waterfront and pop in to one of the cafes. With a wide range of fantastic cafes around the corner with great customer service I will definitely not be visiting here again.

Just made the cut off for breakfast at 12.30, ordered scrambled eggs, beautifully cooked with chives, bacon and vine tomatoes, wonderful Brown toasted bread. Lovely place near the harbour, great selection of cakes too.

Es domingo y eso significa el día del pastel. Little fella tiene que elegir y comer un pastel el domingo y tuvo suerte este domingo cuando nos aventuramos en este lugar en nuestros viajes. Está en un lugar encantador con asientos al aire libre para que uno pueda ver pasar el mundo.

Never been here before and we needed something to eat. Popped in and ordered ploughmans lunch. It was so delicious. Plenty of ham and cheese and lovely bread. Good service and value for money, polite friendly staff

Excelentes tartas caseras, sopa, paninis calientes y bebidas frías con quiche de Ploughmans y ensaladas. Puede sentarse servido por un personal amable o al aire libre con magníficas vistas de Bristol Harbouside. Entra a la galería de arte adjunta para ver cuadros de alta calidad para la venta y en los marcos del sitio una especialidad. Los precios están en línea con el restaurante y cafetería en esta área. Quizás la comida es tan buena que se apreciarán porciones más generosas, especialmente pasteles.

Stopped for a coffee at this cafe on the quayside. Took them over 20 mins to make 2 Americanos. Wasn’t even busy and no hint of an apology. Customer service? - they just don’t get it!

Lovely clean, tidy cafe on the Harbourside. Had bacon, vegetable and goats cheese quiche, plus Waldorf salad, which was absolutely delicious and perfect for summer. Baby changing available. Friendly service.

After several years and on a weekly basis using this establishment, my partner and her autistic son were aggressively singled out by the manager in respect of him eating his pre-prepared packed lunch, even though the question is asked whether it would be ok on each occasion. Prior to today it has not proved to be an issue with any member of the staff as, due to the nature of his disability he will not eat any food other than that prepared by his mother. Also he is extremely choosy as to where he will eat away from home.

Popped in for a cup of coffee and ended up changing my mind as their early grey is with proper tea leaves and the Greek salad looked lovely so I opted for a little bowl... it was super fresh and the staff were friendly it was really clean and fresh and a great view out the doors

We called in this tearoom on a busy and sunny afternoon- the quayside was teeming with people- enjoying the bank holiday weather. It was about 4:15 pm and we ordered pots of tea and bought ice cream tubs. After 10 minutes, the staff started bringing into the tearoom, the signs from outside and one of these women, looked at me and said “we are closing”. A couple of minutes later she brought over a tray with the words “we are closed now” - so we were pressured to quickly drink our tea and leave - not yet 4:30pm!

We were staying in Bristol and were on our way to visit the SS Great Britain and were looking for somewhere to have brunch. We popped in here because it looked nice and we weren't disappointed. The scrambled eggs were perfect, the coffee and tea very good. We liked it so much we came back after our visit to the SS Great Britain to have tea and cake. Staff very friendly.

This tearoom has a prime spot by the new Cargo zone on Wapping Wharf. It’s very traditional but it has a lovely outlook and the cakes are terrific-wonderfully moist sponges. It probably needs to raise its game a bit given what’s happening around it but there are far worse places to have a cup of tea.

My husband and I stopped here for a cup of tea and a cake but it will not happen again. After quite a while we enquired about our order and the cake came. Having slowly eaten half of it - it was very good - we asked again about our drinks, which were 'coming'. Twice more this happened and then they did finally arrive. No apology. As explanation we were told we were 'in a queue'. The cafe did not seem to me so busy that they could not have produced two drinks in almost half an hour. Above all it was the attitude of the staff which was dreadful. Clearly we were 'difficult' customers. Although from the eye rolling of other customers it was clear we were not alone.

Popped into Montgomerys at 4.05pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon with my husband and our 2 young children. Took a seat and went up to the counter to order some cold drinks, latte and cakes. It was only once paying that I was told rather abruptly that the tea room was closed and our cakes would be served in a takeaway box as they would never finish work by 5pm!! I looked around to see several other people still eating and drinking, and more people entering the tea room through the open doors! Now I wouldn't have minded if the doors were closed, or someone had told us upon entering that they were closing but I was made to feel really awkward and as though our business was not welcome. Funnily upon checking trip advisor and their website it looks like they close at 4.30pm or 5pm, I suppose it probably depends on who serves you and if your face fits. To make matters worse they missed the latte off the bill and when I queried this was told I hadn't paid for it and they weren't able to make one for me (even though I offered to pay!). This all happened at 4.10pm, some 20 minutes before closing time. Surely it doesn't take that long to make a latte?!

Really lovely cake - the Snickers Brownie was delicious! Service was a bit disinterested though with no please or thank you and my daughter's chocolate cake was cut with a knife clearly used for something else as it had vanilla white crumbs down the cut line. Staff weren't interested when it was pointed out. Otherwise nice environment and very tasty cake.

Had breakfast here two mornings running. Both times it was excellent - tasty and well presented. And the staff were friendly.

Stopped for a snack and a cup of tea, cold day!! Asked for soup but sold out so had paninis and English tea. Very enjoyable and the staff were all very polite.

Good coffee, good cakes, good value, friendly service - and much easier to get a table on a Saturday afternoon than the trendy establishments round the corner!

Stopped for a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. Tea was good. Service was poor. When the bacon sandwich did arrive the bread was stale and very dry, no butter and very little bacon. £4.50 was way too much for their sandwich.

I've visited Montgomery's twice in the last week or so. The first time we ordered a coffee and a bacon sandwich and had to wait about 20 minutes for both to arrive. I can perhaps understand a bacon sandwich taking that long, but not a coffee, particularly as there was hardly anyone else in the cafe at the time. The second time we visited was even more disappointing. We ordered a Ploughman's lunch. It cost £7 for one (small, not overly fresh) slice of bread, a piece of cheddar, a piece of pate, a handful of lettuce and one (ONE!) cherry tomato, one pickled onion and about six crisps. As my dad and I were sharing this, I asked if we could perhaps have another slice of bread and were told that we would have to pay another 50p for it. I did so as I didn't want to cause a fuss in front of my dad but I thought that was fairly petty and mean. I personally won't be rushing back.

My wife & I went in here with our son & his wife,we ordered our food & drink then our son & his wife ordered their's then the young lady who took our orders went next door to the art shop,my wife & my food came but no drinks arrived,after a few minutes I went to the counter to ask where and was asked if I had ordered them and I said and they finally came,part of our son's food came and after they had eaten that he had to go to the counter to ask where the rest of it was,and he was asked if he had ordered it and after he showed the man his receipt he got it along with his money,for that the place gets an 'average' instead of a 'poor'.The food was very good but the service poor if not very poor.

We were walking along the harbour looking for a place where to eat a snack and found Montgomery's. Clean inside, with a good selection of quiches, cakes and drinks. We sat outside in the sun watching the harbour - good pit stop !

We popped in one afternoon whilst doing the Harbourside walk and ate a currant scone with cream and jam between us with a pot of tea for two. The scone was freshly made and soft and there was plenty of cream and jam to make sharing one scone between two a sensible option. The tea was nice- not bags and the setting overlooking the harbour and within a few minutes walk of the SS Great Britain and M Shed Museum make it a good refreshment point for visitors to these attractions.

Paramos para desayunar. Pan era increíble. Tuve huevos revueltos con cebollino. Marido tenía panini tostado. Ambos excelentes. Disfrutamos mucho visitamos al día siguiente y sopa para el almuerzo. Bien merece una visita. Limpio y ordenado, con comida deliciosa.

Aperitivo rápido almuerzo - Queso y cebolla quiche de salmón y calabacín, ambos con ensalada frittata griega.

Estuvimos aquí en el camino de vuelta de visitar el SS Gran Bretaña. Hemos viajado pasado aquí en el camino a la nave a través del depósito de vapor de poco Motor M Shed, cerca del puente de la calle Princes Street y aunque tenía buena pinta.

Estuvimos aquí en forma de ss gbritain. Panini y agradable café americano y una tarta de arándanos limón hasta el final. Personal amable. Volveré

Sandwiches very poor we came in today and had 2 tuna and red onion sandwiches 1 on White no rocked the other on brown with rocket they were very dry and tuna was mashed up too much you can't afford to have stale bread if in doubt throw it out milk stout was excellent we shall not be coming again

Stopped in for a coffee, but saw the array of snacks and cakes and couldn't resist. All homemade and looking delicious, it was a difficult choice, but very pleased with our quiche choice.

We popped in for a coffee on our way from the 'M-Shed' to the 'SS Great Britain' and were easily seduced by the scones, jam and cream. Coffee and scones delicious and reasonably priced. Friendly and welcoming staff and a nice ambience. The menu looked very inviting and food freshly prepared.

We enjoyed individual pots of selected leaf tea, 3 cups from each pot plus delicious cake for about £5 each. Lovely position on the quayside and good service. Only negative was inside where it was too hot.

Great selection of teas and coffees. I had the spiced rooibos tea with my mushroom and spinach slice. Really great staff and service. I didn't feel like I was a nuisance asking for a vegan option. Great

We were ambling back from the SS Great Britain towards the City Centre and came upon this lovely cafe. Delicious panini, and loads of vegetarian food, all beautifully labelled. And lovely staff, only too keen to help. And a framing workshop next door (with a connecting door), with prints and cards to buy. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Chanced upon this cafe when wandering along the waterfront. Tea and cakes were delicious.Service was friendly and efficient, and at a reasonable price.My small family group wished we had discovered the cafe in time for lunch, as the menu options looked tasty.

We popped in here for brunch for the first time at the weekend. We had scrambled eggs, bacon and grilled tomatoes on soda bread and it was really delicious. Our two year old had a cheese and ham toastie with crisps and fruit, also really good.A lovely little place in a fab location. Friendly staff and really reasonable prices.The homemade cakes look delicious too.

Popped in here for lunch on a docks walk. Amazing value I had courgette, pea and mint soup which just tasted of summer and a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, very generously filled on lovely multi grained bread.Only one problem as everything was freshly made the rest of our group had to wait a long time to get their food. Recommend you get there early.

Pricing in Bristol, according to my boyfriend and his friends, has become significantly expensive. Dining out costs around 16 GBP or more. We found Montgomery's out of randomness whilst walking along the harbor side, wondering what to have for late lunch and it was the greatest pleasant surprise ever. It was 4 PM (they close at 5 PM) so we thought we'd just have something quick even though we're starving. Baked goods looked gorgeous so I chose to have the ploughman's, a cafe mocha and a Belvoir Elderflower Pressé. (Who knows when am I gonna visit England again?). My boyfriend had a sausage roll, a sweet pastry and a beer. We managed to finish them all even though we're used to the tiny food portion in Vietnam, fully stuffed but still wish we could try the rest of the food.I really need their sausage rolls in my life.

I am currently sat at Montgomery's writing this review, in fact I signed up to TripAdvisor just to leave it! The food is outstanding. Really nice Panini's and a lovely chorizo and sausage roll! Also dog friend seating outside and even offered to fill up the water bowl. Friendly staff and good prices for the view! I highly recommend.

I visit Montgomerys at least once a week, and I absolutely love it! The food is amazing (especially the salmon & poached eggs on toast, followed by some Victoria sponge!), and the fast, friendly service is second to none! The view of the harbour is also fabulous, with The M Shed and SS Great Britain nearby. I've come to know Jen and Kerry, who are 2 of the loveliest girls you could hope to meet! I would highly recommend this establishment, for a relaxed, homely experience. I'll certainly be coming here for a long time to come!

Only ever visited here once and I am due another trip soon. I was walking along the harbour in the morning time and was very peckish and curiosity got the better of me. I ordered scrambled eggs on toast and a cuppa. Beautifully presented albeit a high en price for a breakfast but nonetheless delicious. Right on the harbour so the view was georgous.

Had a lovely breakfast here. Mostly variations of scrambled eggs on toast (with bacon, with salmon etc.) but well prepared and plenty of it - good value for money. Good selection of cakes and coffee as well. Lovely to sit on the quay side with the steam engine trundling past.

en god dejlig hyggelig cafe , god service dog er mågerne ligeglade så man skal være vågen på sine ting da de er hurtige Betjeningen kan være lidt langsom men ellers er alt fint .

After touring the SS Great Britain in Bristol, our group of five wanted to find a nearby place to have a small lunch. We should have realized that Mongomery's was a BIG mistake when we walked in and only five people were there. The other tables were covered with dirty plates, glasses and silverware that the oblivious young man and woman running the place simply ignored. After clearing our own table by piling the dishes from our table onto those at a neighboring table, we wiped down the sticky surface and prepared to order at the counter. My wife's first choice was unavailable even though it was on the menu. After deciding on sandwiches, we ordered and waited 25 MINUTES for the sandwiches to be made, but OURS WAS THE ONLY PENDING ORDER. When my wife's sandwich arrived (salmon), it should have been on brown bread. It was on white. When questioned about this, the young girl simply said, "We're out." No apology. No advance warning. It took three trips to our table to deliver all of our food. In the meantime, the table beside us remained stacked high with dirty dishes and tableware. Each time, the young girl returned to the kitchen empty handed without clearing the dirty table. While this was going on, the young man made himself a sandwich, sat down at one of the other dirty tables and ate his own lunch. When we left, about 40 minutes after arriving there, all of the dirty dishes were still on the tables where they had been throughout our entire meal. NOTHING HAD BEEN CLEARED AWAY!!! It's disconcerting to eat lunch in a restaurant with unkempt tables surrounding you. And it's even worse to deal with a stall who seemed totally unconcerned about customers and service. We will not return!!!!

We stopped by Montgomery's Tea Rooms after visiting the nearby SS Great Britain and it was the perfect place for lunch, with excellent tea, tasty paninis and awesome sausage rolls (with chorizo!). The service was amateur-ish but in a very good way - charming and unaffected.On second thoughts don't go here, and if you do, DON'T have the sausage rolls, because they're all mine.

A friend and I popped in to grab a quite bite to take out, but decided to stay as soon as we stepped in the door and smelt the freshly baked goods. We were served by a very friendly young girl who recommended a gooey to go with our lunch and it was exactly that,delicious!

I took my Mum and daughter into this place just before 2 o'clock hoping to buy lunch there. It is a small place which had tables available to sit at,however when we asked about lunch the girl behind the counter said that they weren't serving food anymore because they were swamped and too busy .I was really stunned by this as the cafe seemed quiet and nobody else was waiting to be served . The website said it is open until 5pm on Sunday .Such service is disapointing and can't be good for business .

Met up with family went looking for somewhere to eat. Came across Montgomery's tea rooms. Had a fantastic brunch with homemade beans, really good bacon superb sausages hash browns with fried eggs, served up with toast of choice. This was all washed down with the most delicious rooibos tea leaves with an infusion of cardamon pod! The others in our group opted for poached eggs. Good coffee and a lot of tes.! Wonderful!!

Visited with friends, really enjoyed the food, I'd recommend it to others for a nice lunch when wandering around the dock area. Didn't appreciate the kitchen staff opening the door all the time because they were hot in the kitchen, it was freezing in the dining area, I understand that kitchens are hot but there should be adequate ventilation and the door shouldn't be opened all the time which freezes guests. When I asked for the door to be closed since I was cold I was greeted by the lady in the kitchen arguing with me saying that it needed to be open since she was too hot. Overall, good food but very rude staff.

Visited with a couple of friends after a walk along the quay. Were hungry and looking for a snack but were told, somewhat abruptly, that food is not served after 3pm. We had a coffee and one of the small selection of cakes but were rather disappointed by the service and offerings.

If you want to take a breather, then this little cafe is perfect. With a welcoming smile from the servers there is plenty to choose from; cakes, sandwiches and hot food.Why not peruse the attached gallery, perhaps buy some momento of your visit and grab a drink while they prepare your purchase.Prices are good value, and the service is prompt. The Guinness and chocolate cake I had although unusual was really tasty.

Would not recommend to people with children, although the manager (if that what he was, either that or a young man on a power trip!) was especially rude to everyone anyway, even his 2 female staff. We were tempted in by the signs saying breakfast, lunches etc, goes in and basically just sandwiches and cake. So we ordered a cheese toastie and a cheese sandwich on brown. The young lady managed to get this order wrong (how??) but that wasn't too bad. The bloke that works there was so rude!! Shouting at the two girls who worked there, giving everyone dirty looks. Just looked like he had somewhere better to be. My son (2 years old) was playing with the tea strainer that come with my mums pot of tea, tapping his sandwich with it, when the bloke come over and said it wasn't to be played with (harmless he is 2!!) and took it off him. Didn't care for his snobby tone. The atmosphere of the tea room was tainted by his dirty looks and head shakes everytime my son dropped something. Wasn't an amazing sandwich and hardly a 5 star restaurant although he seemed to think otherwise. Avoid!

Called here yesterday as cafes at M Shed and Great Britain were very crowded. It has a very nice atmosphere and very helpful staff. The food was cooked to order and was worth the wait - good burger and tasty toastie. Will definitely use them again.

A really lovely little gem on the waterfront. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Delicious coffee and hot chocolate and to-die-for cakes. Would thoroughly recommend.

Called in for lunch, just wanting a light snack. It was pretty busy, with just one girl doing everything; taking your order, making the food, serving the food and clearing up afterwards. But it was done in a pleasant manner, no sign of stress affecting the good service. I ordered a simple goats cheese salad and when it came I was very pleasantly surprised. The salad itself was varied and the dressing superb. A lovely mid day snack

I don't understand the recent negative reviews for this place. We managed to reserve a table on a busy summer Saturday and when we arrived we received friendly and attentive service despite there being just two ladies running the whole cafe. Then there was the delicious food which we watched being prepared, 2x burger and chips, a lovely ploughman's for two (chorizo sausage roll the highlight) and a ham, salami and cheese sandwich for our son. Quality hot drinks and some choice cakes from an excellent selection followed. We will definitely be going back.

You would have imagined that a Diet coke, fruit cake and coffee would have been very simple. However after ordering I was told to sit down and wait. I initially sat down near the till however the table was crowed by other customers queuing to order. After moving my mother and I heard loud crashing and the staff yelling at each other by this point it was about 10mins since I had ordered and I went to ask what had happened and the manager didn't appolgise instead rushed to set up our try includinbg picking up the cake with his bare hands.Generally a bad experience and there is plenty of choice in this area and go somewhere else!!

If you like fish with your batter then don't order it from Montgomery tea rooms. Ours escaped in the fryer, when we complained the girl said that was the size it comes in, she did however offer us a drink, not really compensation for £8 on a meal. We weren't happy but didn't pursue as she said she would review it. We complained that evening and the Manager only started to be helpful when we said we would write a review, if we came back which we aren't planning on visiting Bristol soon then he would give us a refund, but this was only after being pressed.

Sam, the new manager of Montgomery's as it is now called, and his team, were wonderfully helpful when we needed to organise a birthday lunch for my mother near to Bristol harbour. Sam went out of his way to be helpful in planning the lunch by email and phone, as we had a number of vegetarians in our party, and one with other particular dietary requirements.The food was excellent and good value, and the service attentive and friendly. It can't have been easy for them as we nearly took over the place! Our visit there helped turn the day into a great success, so it's a big 'thank you' from us all!

Was lost in the beautiful city of Bristol and found this little gem of a cafe.... the service was exceptional and the coffee was better. A great selection of vegetarian food and something for the meat lovers... the cakes were great also. Can't recomend this place highly enough. A must if you're in Bristol!!!!

popped in here for a drink and a bite to eat. Lovely scones, and good selection of teas. Friendly staff. Would definitely return

Had a Sunday morning tea and hot chocolate, tea was good and nibbles great. Must try the breakfast me thinks next time. Kids made to feel very welcome by Victoria from next door

This tearoom serves good soy cappuccino and delicious scones. Very simple, natural, English - just what we like for a little break when walking along the quays.

A well presented and Charming waterfront cafe. Light lunch options and a range of tasty home made cakes with options for a range of requirements. A worthy visit for friends and family as it's great value with friendly staff :)They also stock wiper and true!

Popped in for some superb coffees and nibbles after a pleasant walk around Bristol harbourside. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We ended up sharing some tasty chorizo sossie rolls and roasted veg frittata. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely little escape. 5 stars, would frequent again. :)

Was down by the Harbourside for a walk Sunday 8th March and popped in for a pot of tea for two, just missed the food being served so instead we had a flapjack instead. The tea room was modern looking but like the tea being loose tea and the cakes display looked nice and they were very nice and explained what cakes they had and they left us in peace to make up our minds the tea was nice and hot.Will make sure that we go to the tea room before 3pm so we can have some food

A really lovely place. Its hard to explain why I like it so much; they clearly have put a lot of effort into their little slice of teaven yet they're not trying so hard that you feel any less than a firm family friend. It's a really lovely balance. As others have said, it offers more than just a tearoom with some fantastic fare on offer.I think with a little more personality on the walls that will come with age this is the sort of place that you'll see queues coming out of the doors of in future and they very much deserve this.

We usually walk our dog down by the docks on a Sunday morning, and have chanced by the new Montgomery tea rooms, but usually we've been too early for them to be open. About three weeks ago we were a little later in our walk so ventured in to get a cup of coffee and a cake because we could sit outside with the dog. The staff seemed unwilling to serve us as they were both occupied on their phones and when the coffees did arrive they were cool not piping hot. Also the piece of cake which we paid over £3.00 for was far smaller than are available at the Arnolfini or the Tea rooms at the SS Great Britain, so a big thumbs down I'm afraid. We may have caught them on a bad day but we wont be venturing back in. Sorry.

Loved this place. A group booking (the first the new owner has taken) went really well. I ordered a Devon Mist cider which was served on the side with an ice cold glass – perfect for this warm September day. Most of my party had the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon which looked amazing. I opted for the roasted veg and cream cheese panini which came with a colourful side salad and a little pot of dressing, it was crunchy, seeded, full of filling and served with a cheery smile. So in short a scrumptious lunch for under a tenner in a lovely building with happy staff surrounded by art – we will be back

while wandering round the Bristol Harbourside, we came across these lovely new Tearooms! Superb home made cakes and meals. Very welcoming place and the staff are obviously very happy being there! If you are in the area you need to pop in and try some of their yummy goodies!

We had a lovely coffee and ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled egg which was so beautiful. What a lovely little Tea room and in a good location too.

Next to the picture framing gallery next to M Shed on the quay.Very friendly welcome, and spoilt for choice by the range of cakes (all home made) on offer.After much debate, settled for the chocolate and guinness cake and coffee. Wonderful.Worth checking out.

Montgomeries well worth finding for tired travellers! Sara the manageress gave us a great welcome and very attentive service. The menu is imaginative and delicious whether you want a full meal or light bite. Lovely selection of cakes, and Sara said she is careful to source her food locally.The Tea Room is annexed to an art gallery and picture framer with a great selection of works from local artists, and the Tea Room itself doubles up as a showcase for art.

After a few hours of intense interactive activity looking around the interesting exhibitions at M-Shed, my brother and I (we're both over 50 so we were both proverbially 'pooped') stumbled across Montgomery's Tea Room (virtually next door to M-Shed).It was by now mid-afternoon and a bit too late for a proper lunch - and my brother's a very faddy eater - but we were both enticed in by the very welcoming and charming Victoria and her lovely café / tearoom, where we had no problems finding something we fancied from the various menus.A delicious snack (a tuna melt Panini with an apple juice, and a hand-made cheese and ham sandwich accompanied by a glass of delicious chilled blush wine) later and we were invigorated and ready to see some more of the sights of Bristol harbour side.Victoria explained that the tearoom had only been going about 3 months, but hopefully it will be there for many more years to come.Tasty food and drink and service with a smile. Thank you!

We had lunch here today, after checking out the Wallace and Gromit exhibition in the M Shed next door. Very friendly service, and a great Ploughman's lunch, enough to share easily between two. Good cheese, salad, pork pie, bread etc. Very good position watching the harbour activities. Worth a visit, definitely.

In June 2014 we enjoyed a delicious supper and then lunch the next day at this great tea room.Montgomery's is more than a tea room serving delicious Greek-influenced food as well as very tasty soups, cakes and sandwiches. The menu was varied and all of the food was beautifully served by the very kind and welcoming manager and her assistant.This one is definitely worth a visit.

We enjoyed lunch here at the weekend. The position is nice being on the harbourside and it is clean, bright and welcoming. We had paninni' s which came with salad and were very tasty. Service with a smile as well, it doesn't take much.
