Great Mediterranean food, well cooked. Nice service, even though it was crowded with the bank holidays. Not expensive like other cafes in this area. Definitely recommend it. Too bad I didn't take any pictures, but there are already enough on Google I suppose 😏

This was my first time experiencing authentic mediterranean food and I loved it! Partially because of the weather was super nice and the vibe of the place was energetic. Food was served hot and fresh. Flavourful and enjoyable. Filled us up with reasonable price.

A must visit place in Clifton village especially on weekends. It can be full and you may need to wait but definitely worth trying. Really delicious breakfast meals. Sour dough bread is really tasty. I have tried pouched eggs on avocado. Harissa sauce was amazing. I highly recommend this place 👌

We had lunch on a sunny hot day. The food portions are amazing and the food was delicious. It was very hot and they dont have umbrellas for outside and inside was full, so we were very hot. We would have stayed for desert, but the heat was too much. It is a lovely spot to sit and eat across Reg the Veg with its beautiful display of produce. I recommend Saffron for breakfast or lunch, I would say the best spot in Clifton Village.

This cafe was brilliant! The staff was lovely and it was a beautiful day so I could sit outside to enjoy my breakfast, which meant I could soak up the family ambience of the area. I ordered the bacon butty, which was cured bacon rashers on hot buttered ciabatta bread... And my god was it good! The bacon was excellent and the bread was incredibly tasty! Coupled with an orange juice and a coffee and I had a perfect start to the day. Prices were very reasonable too. Definitely recommended if you're in the area.

Terrible service from beginning to end. Upon entering we were greeted with a cold and judgmental stare. We asked for a table for 4 but the woman who greeted us said nothing and walked away, we then watched another staff member carry some chairs in from the rain and were told to sit downstairs in the cold and FISHY smelling basement. The table was soaking wet so we couldn’t sit down but the waiter who said he’d be down to dry it went missing. After another staff member made an attempt to wipe the table with an already wet cloth we decided to go back upstairs, tragic. We then waited upstairs but were made to feel in the way. Eventually We had to ask to order and when our drinks arrived one had been made wrong (understandable in a busy cafe) but when asked to change it we were again made to feel like we were wrong to ask, we also saw the staff muttering about it (unpleasant) we then never received the drink but where still charged on the bill. Overall food great but the staff made us feel uncomfortable at every interaction will not be returning.

I went here with friends for brunch on the Easter Sunday. The staff patiently sat us separately to then sat us together when availability allowed for it, and made space for the baby; that was very kind of them. We ordered a variety of different dishes from the menu and the main ones were big portions full of flavour. I would recommend the grilled marinated chicken, the sides it comes with were fantastic, I really liked the salad! The starters were very tasty too. We were all very pleased and satisfied. I highly recommend this place and would come back next time I go to Bristol.

A great cafe in Clifton village. Visited for breakfast and had a very unique one indeed. I ordered the middle eastern egg with Merguez & Pistachio. It was very different, not a breakfast flavor im used to. It had a soupy consistency with 3 Moroccan sausage and a poached egg inside. It was really flavorful and tasty but a bit on the heavier side for breakfast. My girlfriend ordered the Egg’s Florentine which had a massive mushroom on top. Personally we weren’t a fan of the hollandaise sauce. The consistency was a bit weird I don’t know maybe it was just me. Additionally, they have some great coffee as well, the cappuccino was delicious and massive. Overall i had a very good experience.

Met some friends here at 8 am on a Wednesday morning. We had three pots of Tea which each held enough Tea for two full cups) and looked at the menu. The Full English was fine for me but my colleagues wanted some thing different. The menu said “ No Changes” so we wondered if this would be possible? One friend asked for no Black Pudding which was simply left off the full breakfast but the other wanted : 2 poached eggs. 2 Bacon. 2 Sausages and nothing else. They agreed to provide this without any fuss. My Full breakfast was very good. Two delicious Sausages, 2 really good thick cuts rashers of Smokey bacon, a large grilled fresh Tomato, one over cooked egg, a pot of baked beans and a round of granary toast. The Garlic mushrooms were served on a separate plate and they were huge, but heavy on the garlic! All in, this was a really good breakfast cooked well and served nicely. The cafe itself was comfortable warm and the staff were helpful and friendly. The full breakfast was a bit expensive at £12.95 But I was surprised to see the special breakfast ( sausage, bacon and eggs) came to a whopping £16.90? I can’t work out how they got to thi figure? But they didn’t charge for the Teas so perhaps it all balanced out? I would recommend this place ( as an alternative to other popular cafes in Clifton Village) but I would suggest sticking to what’s on the menu?

Incredibly busy cafe on the Sunday we visited but the turnover of tables was quick and the service was very good.

There's only one toilet which isn't enough but not worth knocking a star off the score.

Just had a really bad experience unfortunately. Ordered a "freshly squeezed Orange Juice" instead i had orange juice with bits from the supermarket. Flat bread was a wrap out of a packet and i was expecting "chips" with my main (as specified on the menu) instead they put crisps out of a packet on my plate. Really disappointing. I've mentioned this to the staff but they denied everything and said that no one has complaint before and charge me in full.

From my favourite to least (but all still fab), we got Merguez Ciabatta, Mixed Grill and Saffron Club The menu is probably a 4/5 just because I would like more variety and perhaps sweeter options. But the food itself was worth it. Definitely seeing myself come back in the future

Always nice food at this popular Mediterranean/middle-eastern-influenced cafe. I had a full English, which at nearly £13 without a drink is not cheap. But you do get plenty of sausage, bacon and black pudding, and it is all top stuff - really good meat. So only two small worries. Char-grilling might be a great way to cook flatbreads or a skewer of lamb, but I don't think it really works with bacon and bangers. Smoky charred lines on bacon just interfere with the flavour. The sausages were cooked through, but only just, while charred on the outside - not quite right for an English sausage. Second thing, the menu said 'no changes' which was Okay for me - but seems not very customer-focussed. Suppose I didn't like black pudding? I say all this only in the hope that this could become one of the great breakfasts in town, if just cooked more traditionally.
