No12 Easton in Bristol, City of

I had the most beautiful breakfast (Turkish eggs) there and the service was EXTREMELY friendly. I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so impressed with my meal, I decided to it this time, as they really deserve it.

Food was good quality but the tiny portions are an insult considering it's £5 more than a normal breakfast cafe. Nice welcome though. * Review revised as I made one mistake mixed it with another on same page. Apologies. However the 3/5 stars remain valid because both the breakfast portions were small in our opinion. I visited with an experienced chef from the area. We had a vegetarian breakfast and a Turkish egg breakfast.

Always lovely coffee from here -Some of the best locally. Great food too, as well as friendly staff and owners. Great to have this just around the corner :)

I absolutely love this place! I am from Austin, Texas and we have a high bar for tacos and boy did this place exceed my expectation! Truly the best tacos I’ve ever had! The owners are absolutely the kindest people I have ever met. I have come here nearly every day since I’ve been visiting and will be back again! Thank you so much Mark and Venus for such an incredible café and for your kind hospitality :-) You are a beautiful family, have a beautiful café and incredible food. What more can you ask for! Xx

Had a lovely brunch here. It's slightly posher than your average full english. Great coffee and really friendly service.

Lovely place, and lovely food. If I had to give some form of constructive feedback the coffee wasn't to my taste but others in the cafe loved it and the staff forgot which one of my orders had oat milk in.

First time visiting this little gem of a cafe. The coffee and food was delicious.The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Vibrant atmosphere and we loved the personalised coffees, great little touch !! Will definitely be returning.

Great food, great coffee, great vibes and great staff! Deffo recommend :)

Lovely corner cafe for food and drink.

Great breakfast/brunch options, great service, open spacious interior with also some uncovered outdoor space.

The staff are super friendly and caring. Great coffee!

The Best Bacon is indeed the best bacon! Great staff and atmosphere.

From the minute I entered number 12 there has been a welcoming atmosphere, the owners are friendly and you can tell passionate about their cafe. Apparently they designed a new menu and every dish sounded so delicious that it was hard to not order it all. We had a lovely time.

First time visiting this little gem of a cafe. The coffee and food was delicious. (Perfect poached eggs on sourdough) The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Vibrant atmosphere and we loved the personalised coffees, great little touch !! Will definitely be returning.

Always our go to place when we visit our daughter but today, different staff to usual, still friendly! Prices gone up again but drink portion sizes gone down - didn't fill the cups today 😞 Updated - Oh dear 🙄 unfortunate experience today.... We brought some family with us this time, ordered 5 drinks, only got 2! Chased the remaining drinks and just received a load of attitude like it was our fault they didn't get our order right. Very disappointing 😞 I will be contacting the owner as a disrespectful, rude comment was directed towards my wife and her sister by one of your staff as we left the premises. Update: emailed, no response, says it all really.... We definitely won't be returning again. In the words of your staff member "Yay!"

Had a bacon and a sausage sandwich and my husband described it as 'the best sandwich he ever had'. Lovely little cafe with friendly and familiar atmosphere.

Beautiful cafe serving all the usual plus vegan and plant-based options.

A small and chilled Cafe, which serves great cakes and coffee. Always seems busy with families and a popular meeting place. I like it and you will too 👍🏿👍🏿

Good coffee, luscious pastries, really friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious full-English for brunch (Fri-Mon), and very affordable. Really friendly staff. Tasty smaller options. Good veggie options available. Limited sandwich options.

Veggie full easton breakfast was a healthier version of a typical full English. Yet very tasty! They also seem to bake their cakes instore and I was tempted to try. Staff was very friendly.

If you love coffee, without doubt this place is a must as in my opinion it serves the best coffee in Bristol. No.12 Easton is friendly, the food is on par with the best around and a lovely atmosphere. We will be back!

Lovely little cafe serving great food. Staff super friendly too.

Me and my family absolutely love Number 12. It is hands down the friendliest cafe in Bristol! Gorgeous staff who always go the extra mile, delicious cakes and fabulous coffee. A true community cafe where all are welcome. Popping in and having a chat, and a coffee with the lovely staff is always such a pleasure, and truly brightens up a grey winters day! Cannot recommend this place enough. We love you Number 12 🩷

No 12 is a total gem. A lovely local cafe with the friendliest staff, Zena always makes time to ask how you are and makes you feel really welcome. The most delicious coffee in Easton and a great range of cakes too.

Relaxing cozy place for a yummy warm breakfast and coffee. Super friendly staff. Will be back again!

What a fabulous and friendly gem of a cafe in the heart of Easton. Staff are always happy and smiling and most importantly, the coffee and food are both top notch. Welcoming to everyone, the cafe embraces the diversity of the residents in the area and in all my visits, all I have seen is a truly happy and positive vibe. Being a regular, they even take the time to personalise my coffee as the photo shows! Highly recommended!

Amazing staff very welcoming great service from the bin man vince

The food of fine, not great, the coffee is okay I wouldn’t recommend any Jews to visit this cafe as there have been at least 2 reported incidents of antisemitism from staff towards customers.

Back to its best! Excellent cafe with a very relaxed atmosphere. Hot food is back on the menu and their coffee is the best around. Special mention to the sausage roll, that thing packs some meat! Plenty of veggie and vegan options . Super friendly service and staff. Always our go to cafe in the area. Very child friendly and in close proximity to Stapleton station, So great place for a take away coffee before getting on the train. See you again real soon and keep up the top work!

Food was good and reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient service, good coffee, and warm atmosphere.

Great cafe lovely staff. The cappuccino and the toastie were spot on. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu :)

I never give 3 stars but I am just confused. I had an oat milk latte in a takeaway cup which is maybe 4 pounds, and a brownie which is 3.50 and I was charged 10.40. I questioned the transaction and somehow it all added up to 10.40. I'm not sure what the charges were that were hidden but over a tenner for a one shot takeaway coffee and a small brownie seems crazy in even the most hipster coffee shops. Outside of the confusing price, the brownie was delicious and the coffee was tasty.

Fabulous cafe, lovely coffee and a great atmosphere. Mark and Venus are making a great success of this awesome venue!

Excellent coffee and food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Amazing coffee and garden. My tuna tostie was hot and Delicious!

Nice place. Lovely coffee but breakfast was very greasy. Toilets could have been cleaner. Overall not bad but I won't visit again, if so, it would be take away coffee and cake.

Lovely cafe with great coffee and toasties.

Such a lovely cafe. If it's for family time, a quick coffee, meeting a friend, working or just chilling out, this is the place for you. The food is great, there nothing massive on the menu, but that's not what you need here. Also the staff are fabulous. Never change!

I love this cafe so much. The atmosphere is really lovely and chilled, the staff are so kind, and the coffee is delicious! Highly recommend.

Lovely people making a nice place

I was there with my daughter and she enjoyed herself especially her cheese and bacon toastie. Nice and relaxed atmosphere with azing music to go with it. The staff are very friendly.

Amazing food and coffee and lovely staff.

This place does great coffee but that's probably down to having a very good supplier. This is the first coffee shop in the world where I've been asked to move table, in order to use my, very small tablet. This was due to some bizarre policy where people with laptops are confined to one tiny table. I didn't want to sit on this already crowded table butI get why they may want to limit laptop using in a very small establishment but please don't have the indignity to ask a paying customer to move for no good reason. I didn't notice a sign on a table limiting parents with children to only 30 minutes and to keep the noise down. , ended up taking the coffee away after about 10 minutes.

Lovely local caffe with amazing espresso and toasties. Such a comfy place with great music and so kind staff. Love it!

Really nice little local cafe. Staff were lovely and I really enjoyed the music playlist. Ate at 1:30 pm on a Sunday so unsurprisingly there wasn't any breakfasts available but I had a delicious Camembert, bacon and caramelized onion toastie. Highly recommend 👍

Bloody Gorgeous Toastie. I'll be back for the rest of the menu

Lovely little cafe. Great staff

However nice a toasty might be, it's not "bacon and eggs". The writeups say it does everything but it doesnt. It's a mediocre toasties bar. Great if you like toasties, disappointing if not. However, Really nice coffee, I shall return for the coffee but not so much the food. Thank you

I love this place, the staff are so lovely! I've tried quite a few things on the menu and it's all been delicious. Their brownies are the best I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of brownies. The coffee and cake is great too!

A very special place in the heart of Easton

Amazing coffee and cute little cafe. Came in early for coffee and the person behind the counter was dead friendly and made us the best coffees. Thanks for making our day!

Such friendly staff and a real community feeling. Been coming here for a decade and never disappointed 😘

Made a special trip to try this place…well worth it, really special food, good veggie and vegan choices. Coffee was super tasty!

I recommend this place - great coffee and lovely staff.

Nice little place with outdoor covered seating as well as indoor seating. The staff were happy to let me place my cycle around the back for safety whilst I ate my food and drank my coffee. My coffee was the best I've tasted and the sausage roll with mustard is a favourite of mine and the homemade brown sauce was banging 👌

I had to wait almost 4 hours for the MOT to be finished on my car and needed somewhere to wait as I was 20 mins drive from home. The ladies at No. 12 were so pleasant and accommodating, letting me sit outside for as long as I needed with refills on the pot of tea and a warm chocolate croissant to start the morning. Will definitely be going back again if I find myself in the area, thank you for making a very long wait comfortable and enjoyable :)

Had the vegan BLT with the mushrooms and it was one of the best toasted sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, definitely a spot I’ll be visiting again!

cafe is very nice, i felt very relaxed when enjoying my coffee in there, and very friendly staff too

Banging coffee, super friendly 👌

I drive from North Bristol to Easton to get the best oatmilk decaf mocha from No. 12...only place that doesn't seem to burn the decaf beans. Always been greeted with a smile and it feels like everyone remembers you

Beautiful cafe with lovely staff

Tasty sausage roll, friendly service, but felt some of tables could be a bit cleaner

It's OK... Good coffee. Lacklustre selection of cakes and savouries. Meh attitude.

Very Good service and lovely staff

Best cafe in Easton, amazing quality coffee friendly attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Best start to the morning when I’m working from home and pop down for a coffee takeaway. Thank you 🙏

Recently had lunch here and it was nothing short of DELICIOUS. The atmosphere is great and the staff are always friendly and welcoming and the service was quick! They also sell great wines. Highly recommend.

Cosy cafe with delicious food, great wine selection and the loveliest staff.

Had a great time here after gymnastics @ Bristol Hawks with my toddler, plus a second toddler, baby and adult. Staff were very accommodating and made child versions of the menu. Super welcoming and friendly - and really great food too. Will definitely go back.

After a frustrating winter I finally returned to Bristol for a (too) short time, and headed to No12. The same friendly, funny and skilled staff were there, and the lattes they made me were as superb as before. And as before, it sometimes gets it to my table somehow before I've sat down, which is extremely welcome on caffeine-deficient mornings. There are now two chefs, but the standard of food that comes out of the kitchen remains consistently high - a short menu of various sandwiches and warmer meals on sourdough. I've tried them all, they are all good, and I've been educated a bit (I now know the fancypants name for garlic mayo). I also have several new tracks for my summer playlist from the insanely good one that often plays in there. The cake selection - decent portions, unlike certain Bristol cafes I could list - remains distracting, and the ambience of the cafe is still Nordic: minimalist, white painted wood, and lots of daylight through big windows. This place feels like a kind of home, where I can eat and drink well (it is, after all, a cafe), decompress, remember how to chill, read and think and figure out life. I look forward to returning for (a lot) longer next time, and hope to see Jasper again.

Friendly staff nice food and the MOST delicious coffee! My fave space. Still excellent coffee and great atmosphere (04/22).

Amazing hidden spot in Easton! Great coffee. The staff is super nice and helpful. It is great for couples, friends and family friendly. I am definitely coming back for a breakfast again! Good selection of independent wines and beer. The even have some nice Arbor IPAs! The coffee place to be in Easton!

Food is always lovely and coffee is nice!

Delicious lunch and coffee. Highly recommended!

Coffee has been consistently excellent for years and now they sell wine 🥳

I feel really sad to be changing my review. Myself and my family have always really loved No 12, but after an experience today, we won't be going back. We have a one-year-old and a three-year-old, and in the past the place has felt really child friendly. This morning, however, within five minutes of us arriving (as our coffees were brought to the table) a staff member asked whether we could keep our three year old quiet (he'd been knocking his feet against a kickboard beneath his chair). I understand that it can be distracting for other customers when children are making noise in a place. We always feel very self-conscious, and try our best not to impose on others, but this morning we'd barely had a chance to sit down and get ourselves sorted (putting our one-year-old in a highchair, taking coats off, moving the sugar away etc) before we were told to quieten down. Honestly, it felt a little crushing, and not like we were welcome at all. We left, putting our coffees in takeaway cups. Like I said at the start, I'm deeply upset about this - we've never had a bad experience in No. 12 before, but I don't feel as though I can in good conscious recommend this cafe any more, especially to those with young children. It's the first time that anyone has ever told us to keep our kids quiet before, and it shocked us. The coffee was - as ever - delicious.

Independent cafe with plant based options

The garlic mushrooms on sourdough delivered flavours fit for a queen. 10/10 would recommend.

Outstanding food and very friendly service

Best coffee I've ever tasted! Also, the full Easton breakfast is lovely. Staff are so friendly, and the resident cat Jasper! Highly recommended

Best vegan sandwich Ive ever had (portobello mushroom, dehydrated and cooked, with aoili and salad) although very rich, be prepared to take half home with ya!

Best coffee in Easton, and last I checked, the food lived up to the coffee

Nice flat white. Good selection of food. Outdoor seating.

Best coffee in town! Great atmosphere and helpful and friendly staff. Great service.

My first visit to this lovely cafe won't be the last - brownie and bacon jam sandwich both delicious, and the little garden is the perfect spot for a cuppa.

Great service and the coffee is lovely

The Full Easton is a revelation that's currently sitting in my tummy. Full marks.

Nice iced oat latte and tasty pancakes. Service could have been a bit friendlier but was still nice experience.

Great coffee and friendly staff in a charming little cafe that looks and feels nice to sit in. Part of what makes Easton so charming. Would recommend.

Grabbed a latte & a bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich yesterday as I’m working just round the corner. I’m not sure what makes some coffees so different to others, but No12 know the magic formula! Sandwich was also spot on, real homemade feel with tasty fillings. Always nice to support local during times like this.

Best coffee in the area! Delicious food too and lovely staff. Lovely lockdown treat to get nice coffee and cake and look forward to when I can sit inside again :)

Delicious hot chocolate, piece of art

Their sarnies are next level! Lovely staff and excellent coffee.

Best veggie breakfast I've probably ever had, sooo good!

I swing by 2 or 3 times a week for a coffee and a cake - My particular faves are croissant bread and butter pudding and halva brownie - really good (and big) takeaway sandwiches, and very good physical distancing measures during covid (outside seating available and large indoor space when putting in orders). The bottle shop is fantastic and has a great selection of "i'm sorry I broke your lamp" gift-wines as well as selling some really great local brews in the fridge.

Had an amazing pig sandwich here. I sometimes will just be sitting around and I'll think of how great that pig sandwich was. it had sausages, bacon and black pudding.

Consistently good Coffee worth the walk to get it. It's a nice treat

Really nice coffee and atmosphere!

love this place, coffe is awesome, the staff are amazing shame there is not more stars to give.

12 High Street, BS5 6DL, Bristol, It's not often you stumble across an absolute 'gem' of a Cafe, but we did today. We had arranged to go out for lunch but hadn't made any plans about where, so I looked at a few options on line, checked a few web sites and came up with a few suggestions. We were a multicultural group and our meal preference varied greatly so we had to find somewhere that would cater for all tastes. In the end we chose No12 Easton and what a great choice. Parking was a bit of a problem as the roads around Easton tend to be very narrow and full of parked cars. We made the mistake of coming down the High Street from Belle Vue Road which was a mistake as its particularly difficult to navigate and if you meet a car coming n the opposite direction, theres just nowhere to go. But we did find a parking space right opposite the Cafe. When we arrived it was completely full, every table was taken and we were forced to sit outside. It was a beautiful sunny day but very cold and in the shadows it was even chillier. We had a conversation with the guy at the counter and agreed to take our drinks outside and wait for a table to become available. The Coffee (Americano) was a bit too strong for me (I'm new to Coffee and as yet I cant drink too much of it )but I was afraid to dilute it with milk as the milk was cold and sitting outside, I feared it would get too cold, too quickly. The Tea was a better choice and came in a little tea strainer sat on top of the cup. However, it wasn't long before a table came available and we were all sat at a scrubbed pine table with a menu each. The options aren't extensive but anyone who has ever watched Gordon Ramsey tear apart a failing restauranteur will know, if you want to be successful you do the basics and you do them well and this placed does that perfectly. From its location I suspected this was going to lean toward a Veggie menu so I was pleased to see there was a Full breakfast (£8.95) on the menu plus a Bacon sandwich (£6.50) and what a great sandwich it looked. Though none of us chose it, we simply witnessed it being delivered to the table next to us. But Boy it looked good. Two of us went for the Veggie Breakfast.(£8.95). Halloumi, great as a meat substitute. Marinated portobello mushrooms (this is how mushrooms should taste, they were beautiful. There is no reason why other cafes should serve up a soggy black mess and call it mushrooms). Roasted vine tomatoes. These were amazing, they apparently roast them in Balsamic Vinegar and the taste is incredible. Fried egg on Sour Dough. I usually 'moan' about Sour Dough Toast but this was still soft and edible so I had no complaints, though the egg was a bit hard. I could have lived without the 'Greens' though I did eat all of them and I would have preferred Baked Bean, but hey! An interesting touch was the pot of home made Brown Sauce which tasted really good. For a Veggie breakfast it was very filling. Steve chose the home made soup of the day which was Roasted Butternut Squash with some serious Kicks added by the fresh red Chilli. (£4.95). Raf went for the Baked Aubergine with tomato, pepper, onion, new potato and yoghurt served with a slice of Sourdough bread. This was perhaps the smallest portion but it was still a good meal and very tasty.(£7.95). There was a children's menu and several small people were taking advantage of this. Service was good though you had to order at the counter but the staff were friendly and welcoming. Cutlery was clean, as was the whole place with free water available from a bottle on the counter. In fact this was just a really nice place to hang out and have brunch. It is clearly popular but being small its limited space may prove to be a problem though in the summer they will be able to use the small garden on the side. I enjoyed everything about this place, food, atmosphere and service though its not cheap and anyone on a budget might have to treat number 12 as a treat rather than a regular hang out. That said, us Pensioners will be back again soon.
