Restore in Bristol, City of

Missed lunch so stopped in just before closing on my way home to get a takeaway. Staff member was friendly and efficient; took a selection of amazingly filled sandwiches home. Really impressed especially with the freshly made bacon, brie and tomato sandwich. The chicken and chorizo sandwiches are in the fridge ready for today. Can't wait for lunch! Will be visiting again!

I was really disappointed, especially after seeing all the great reviews about the barista. It was the worst latte I've ever had, poorly made, and the staff weren't friendly at all.

Lovely place, staff amazing with myself and my fur baby x Coffee was just perfect, next time we will most definitely have something to eat from your delicious menu.

Just stopped off for a coffee to have a break whilst walking around the harbourside. Flat white was good and the outside seating area was nice and fairly sheltered.

Excellent establishment. Served by a wonderful man who makes excellent coffee. The cakes are to die for!

Great coffee and awesome service. Perfect start to the day

I popped in to ask if there was any chance to buy ice creams for our children and the blonde waitress said very rudely ‘no, the till is off’, she then went back inside and proceeded to make fun of us to her colleagues, my mother then said to her ‘we were just asking nicely as it’s for the kids, there’s no need to be rude’ the waitress then stuck her middle fingers up at us! Extremely unprofessional and we will not be going here again!

A lovely little place of heaven in a busy world. Calm and inviting with outdoor seating overlooking the water. Delicious toasties, cakes and pastries or ice-cream. A wonderful spot.

Popped in here for a takeaway coffee, but the staff couldn't even be bothered to look up and acknowledge me so walked out after 10 minutes. Here is an idea why not? Smile and say bear with we will serve you in a minute.

The cakes and drinks were great, would come again if I lived closer

I love the location, the coffee and the friendly barristers well done and thank you. Improvements that could made are 1.if I am eating in don't give me a paper cup, I hate the waste involved, especially as you claim to be environmentally consciou. 2. If I buy 2 coffees give me 2 stamps on my loyalty card, don't tell me the managers have said it's 1 stamp per transaction. That is tight and I don't get that from my favourite coffee shop

The servers are nice but can be slow as they don't multitask (for example, while waiting for the coffee machine, they could be taking the next persons order, but instead they just watch it pour), so it's not the ideal place to get a drink if you're in a rush, but the peanut butter and coffee shake is my kryptonite, so I'll keep going back despite my frustrations.

Our barista James was really helpful and made the best coffee I’ve had on my trip to bristol! Thank you James

Came here for a sunny harbourside coffee. The barista was extremely helpful and made me one of the best cortados I’ve had in Bristol. She was super friendly, I think from Australia? 5* experience thanks to her.

Ordered a vegan Pasty and a chai latte. The chai was made with a syrup and so absurdly sweet that I couldn't even drink it. The Pasty was good enough but burnt on the bottom

Nice place for ☕️ coffee and light lunch es

Sexy peanut butter protein shake!

Excellent service from Branden and Gracie. Very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent service and friendly staff, especially Branden and Gracie

Nice spot for a Sunday coffee in the AM.

Gracie our barista made us excellent coffie, will definitely be coming back

Stop here whenever we do the harbour walk . Nice food and coffee. Also welcome dogs which is always beneficial.

Great coffee and cakes selection!

Just tried the new gingerbread latte from Aalia so yum!! Harbourside is such a nice location, nice vibe

What a lovely cafe. Had the bacon and Brie toastie along with a flat white, couldn’t fault it. Staff were great too, they were really helpful and always had a smile on their face. Will definitely be returning.

Cute little place! Great spot to pop in and get some work done, really friendly too. Coffee was lovely from a roasters in Cornwall! Will be coming back :)

Very cute cafe with a great selection of vegan & veggie food. Friendly staff and a relaxed vibe by the waterfront. Highly recommend!

Amazing range of cakes/toasties! Coffee was amazing

Absolutely terrible lentil soup, watery with no taste at all. Said it was home made but worst soup I’ve ever had. Hardly much soup in a big bowl! Very disappointed on a cold day!

Echo AlexReindorp 2 star review of a month ago... owner answered her review suggesting empty Brie Toastie was mistake and she should have complained. Nope mine was identical to her pic at least it did not taste slightly dodgy like my partners Halloumi Cheese. Everything cut so thin as to be taking the P at £6.25 yes you can always complain (as the owner instructed AlexReindorp) to the 2x slightly bored students serving or simply avoid.

I just love this cafe. Gorgeous vibe, views and such friendly staff, and lovely cakes and smoothies! And no overpriced either.

Food fine, pre-packaged sandwiches and wraps. Good location. Clean, okay.

The desserts and coffee was very delicious here. I came there with a friend on a sunny day and sat outside, which we really enjoyed. I would go there again. The restroom needs a bit tidying I would say.

The coffee is nice and I like the look of the coffee shop but I have to say, was pretty disappointed in my Bacon and Brie toastie. I was so starving that I got through half of it before I realised I wasn't really eating anything other than bread... It cost £6.25.... I am not here for making life harder for hospitality staff, especially during lunch rush - and I doubt it's up to them what goes in the toasties! But I've got to say....even for Bristol....that's a pretty empty toastie.

Service was quite unorganised today. Suspect they need an extra member of staff to assist

Very pleasant staff and one of the nicest oat milk flat whites I've had!

Lovely cafe/bar in the harbour! Idyllic. Great fresh Mango Lassi!

Nice location for a nice cup of coffee

Most solid coffee place i've been to in Bristol tbh, went after a 15km run along the harbour and the staff were too sweet. Iced coffee was fab. Clean and chill atmosphere. Cant ask for anything more

Great lil find! We took our drinks and a piece of home-made cake outside and sat on the floating harbour as it was a hot sunny day. Drinks were cold and cooling. The cake was delicious, lemon drizzle with cream cheese frosting. Very nice.

Stopped on a walk through bristol harbouring to get the kids ice creams great choice including vegan ice creams and quite reasonably priced

Nice coffee and pain au chocolat. Was looking for a simple hot breakfast something like a bacon roll or scrambled egg. But the nearest they did was streaky bacon and brie didn't really appeal for breakfast. And what's wrong with good old fashioned cups. Not great to drink out a plastic cup.

Cute little place where we got shakes. Accommodating as I wanted oat milk. Best thing is the outside tables with view of the water.

Amazing food, cool location at Bristol Harbour and cool crew 😎

Really friendly staff, good choice of lovely Cornish ice cream. Best place to come on a hot sunny afternoon.

Was about to close so can't really judge it.

Super friendly staff really cute shop

Lovely coffee shop with a great selection of food and drink.

Bit random… can’t make up its mind whether it’s a shop , cafe or deli. Nice cuppa snd cake though. Shame it looses custom by having limited seating indoors.

Only one criticism as with most coffee shops drinks need to be hot not lukewarm, we didn't eat staff were friendly and they carry very good rum

Great coffee and range of treats

Water with some coffee added to it. Better than nothing but not by much. Also served in plastic cups which detracts from the already horrific coffee. Avoid. Thank you for your reply, we are not "mates" and the water flavoured "coffee" I received is unlikely to develop our friendship any further. Wishing you very best.

Great coffee, dog friendly, will come back and try food.

Could this be the best coffee in Bristol? I had a fantastic flat white and my wife had a wonderful soya capacino. Great friendly service, polite and enthusiastic within a really cool environment. Will be back to try the food. Make an effort, forget the soulless chains and support brilliant independents like this ☕☕

Great little coffee shop right on the river. Friendly staff and delicious coffee. Had the latte with oat milk and a Cornish Pasty (steak). Stepped outside and set on the water edge looking at a beautiful view.

Lovely friendly staff, super generous bacon baps and the best coffee I've had for a long time! Beautiful spot on the waterfront.

Friendly team. I didn’t try the coffee because they only use single use, disposable cups

Stumbled across Spoke & Stringer today! Glad I did, had the best cornish pasty ever plus a beautiful pink smoothie!! Highly recommend popping in!

What a great little stop. Excellent coffee and a good selection of cold drinks.

Great little grab and go (or sit on the patio). Icecream delicious, pastries yum.

Very good coffee. I went there almost every morning when I visit our Bristol office. Very tasty double espresso. The Chai Latte also seems to be very good, my colleague liked it very much (with oat milk). The guy behind the counter is very nice, funny and very helpful. Definitely go there again!

Simple items and tasty fruit shakes

The best cappuccino I've ever had in the UK

Brilliant location and lovely food for lunch

Expensive clothes, but food and drink were reasonably priced and delicious

Rude service, over priced .! Empty cafe asked if she could bring over the cakes and coffees was told no very stuck up and acted like she didn't need our money won't be going back. Thank you for your reply yes I could see the prices but was expecting premium quality at them prices and as you can quite clearly see in other reviews coffees and food is brought to the table. So is it one rule for one person and another for someone eles. Yes I agree there is a better way of communicating! As I say won't be coming back to any of your locations.

Expensive coffee but location and service good.

You won't regret visiting this place

A bit over priced, more for the office type

Only had coffee, which was very nice, but the location is fantastic

Ordered a milkshake and it was absolutely terrible, basically just a pint of milk with a bit of ice cream (which was produced from a cardboard box next to the counter). £4.50 is outrageous for what i received which was practically undrinkable warm blended milk with a hint of caramel. was served by a guy who was stood consistently sniffing which was pretty disgusting especially in pandemic times. Wouldn’t go again

Lovely, friendly staff. Good coffee. Nice vibe.

Comfortable friendly and good quality

Coffee tasted ok, but not great. Service was very slow.

Had coffee and cake from the deli which was lovely. Not as much choice as previous visits. Such a shame that you can't get breakfast as the cafe is closed.

I can only judge on my one visit for coffee. On the plus side, comfortable surroundings, some views of the dock and the staff friendly. However, the service was shambolic and the coffee cold. A bad day at the office I suppose.

Very nice place with a good selection of light bites and good coffee, reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

latte tasted quite off, really milky. pretty overpriced scran too

The drinks arrived quickly and were certainly good enough. The location is lovely by the water, but that describes half the venues in Bristol!

Nice to sit outside in the sunshine next to the river.

Great cornish pasties and turnovers and lovely staff

Nice place and tasty brunch options

Nice spot right by the harbour. We sat outside for coffee and breakfast buns and was great.

Very tasty fish and chips. Great location.

I visit every day and enjoy the good coffee and very friendly staff

Limited menu and quite pricey for what you get . Also some things not available.

Very good coffee and general service. Staff were very friendly and helpful 👌

Nice site and pleasant staff. Bit expensive

Had a couple of take away Oatly flat whites here on a quick trip through Bristol. Have to say that the barista did an exceptional job. Smooth, good temp, low bitterness. One of the best made flat whites I've ever had from a cafe.

The service here was great and my chorizo and Scrambled egg burrito was delicious! Sadly though I was overall disappointed with the visit. I love milkshakes and was really looking forward to one from here but paid £9 for two and watched the waitress fill the blender with milk and a few pumps of syrup - I expect at least a scoop of ice cream and some whipped cream and some drizzle for a £4.50 milkshake. Also the place appears to be aware of the sustainability concept, it at least has some funky bins to recycle the waste but we sat inside and all of our food was brought to the table with some packaging that needed binning, Alu foil on two burritos and a burger, paper wrap on the burritos, then a paper bag per burrito, the tacos were in a plastic box - it could all have come on 4 plates and needed no material to be scrapped. The layout is really weird too like you have to go next door to order a milkshake or coffee then come back inside to sit back at your table, not really very customer focused, especially with Covid, I was walking back-and-forwards past loads of strangers stood around and stood in doorways... I think they need to make some changes so, not recommended sadly.

Looked up best places for brunch in Bristol and this place came up. Was pleasant enough, food was ok, drinks were ok. Nothing to write home about. Come in a sunny day and sit outside for the view of the harbour. Decent service too. We had a brunch bowl, which although was pleasant enough, was served in takeaway kebab boxes with plastic cutlery and disposable cups for drinks. Was far from 5 stars, and definitely not one of the best spots in Bristol for brunch. Strange set up with everything separate, food and tea in one place, coffee in another, sandwiches in a different location again. Very strange. Would come back but won’t be rushing

I should have gone to the casino across the road and wasted £5. I wanted a chocolate milkshake, not luke warm chocolate milk that I ended up throwing away. What a waste, too bad. Nice view of the harbour at least! 😁

Have previously had delicious coffee from the coffee shop here which was a pleasant experience, friendly staff and amazing location. Thought we would try the fish and chips next door yesterday as it was a sunny afternoon. Unfortunately it was let down by particularly grumpy front of house service. My friend went ahead of us and ordered 2 meals costing £14 in total, as he didn't have a loyalty card I asked him to you mine, he was given 1 stamp. I then went in after and ordered 2 meals and wasn't allowed to have the same loyalty card stamped. The food was good, chips had a good level of salt and crunchiness to them, however only given enough sauce for 4 of them. My friend did say the tartare sauce was the best he had ever had. Overall, could be improved with better customer service and more generous sauce portions.

Really nice spot to have a quick lunch as you walk along the water. I took the smoked mackerel with scrambled eggs and their homemade bread, absolutely delicious! On the top of that the staff is friendly 👌

Great coffee friendly staff nice selection of cakes.

All Gluten free some GF loved it....she liked the tartan sauce too. I'd prefer it was a wee bit more tart....but you'll like it there I'm sure

Fish had no taste and the chips were to salty and hard , such a shame , nice staff and good location

Nice setting, good coffee stop if walking round the harbour

The staff are always friendly and efficient. The coffee is good and there is a good selection of of sweet and savory things to enjoy with it . They have very nice bread and loads of tempting things on the shelves. The other parts of the premises I have not explored not needing all that they have to offer but pressing my nose against the window I have seen good stuff.

Great coffee, fantastic pastries and they even sell houseplants too!
