Society Café in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in with my daughter for a coffee and a hot chocolate. Quickly served by friendly staff. They were knowledgeable about the coffee and how it was processed and roasted and I had a pourover. The coffee was delicious and my daughter loved her hot chocolate too. Didn't order any food but it looked good!

DONT TRY THE MATCHA! I always wanted to try this place and was excited to see that a specialty of their's is a iced matcha latte as I love matcha. But I was massively disappointed because I barely tasted the matcha and you can tell by the colour of the drink if its going to be a nice matcha....its very dull. I dont want to be unfair as this review is only based on their matcha but if you're going to have it as a specialty drink then I wonder if anything else tastes good from this cafe.

They do the best chai latte in Bristol and their other drinks taste great. Also like their work ethic and what they represent. The staff are just lovely too.

Super nice baristas, really good coffee and pastries. Will repeat for sure!

Very welcoming place in the heart of Bristol!

Right bang in the city centre, great service and comfortable seating, either overlooking the street, or a quiet spot at the back.

Lovely independent café in the centre of Bristol. Spacious and friendly.

Love people watching. Love the hot chocolate

Super nice café with great smoothies and cakes, very cozy. Highly Recommended!

Really nice coffee shop in the centre of Bristol

Lovely cafe with lovely coffee!

came here with my girlfriend plenty of times. staff is really nice, there are charges and fast wifi. we sat outside and the terrace is in the sun so it was really nice in the afternoons. they have really nice coffee. i ordered a cortado and was served in a glass instead of a cup, just like in my country. greatly appreciated. recommend it

Cake and Coffee and don't go if you really do need the toilet. Not really somewhere for Lunch. Tea English Breakfast and a few flavoured variations. Coffee good. Cake nice but price and portion size bare no relation to each other. So it's Cake or Cake. One loo and the disabled loo is there but it's not obvious (door and wall the same colour). Really could do with another toilet. Nothing to rave over. I had to trek back to my hotel for the loo. Kind of gave up on lunch.

Wanted a coffee before work and wanted to try from somewhere new for me so ordered a Latte. I love coffee and that latte hit the spot, good strength and also very friendly customer service. They are card and contactless only but this doesn’t bother me as I always try to pay with my phone. Will definitely be visiting again!

Very centrally located café with good coffee and a wide variety of teas, coffees, and smoothies. tried the carrot cake slice, and it was surprisingly nice! The icing on top was soft, and the cake itself was moist and full of nuts. definitely be back for another slice!

Great little independent coffee shop, with a lovely genuine community feel, serving a grand selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolates as well as an array of brownies and other delights. Some tables are designated laptop free, which is a great idea! Definitely worth a visit when in Bristol!

I’ve passed by this cafe so many times and wanted to come in but feel a bit wary about trying new places. I was immediately greeted with friendly faces and smiles from the baristas, especially the young curly, blonde haired lady who served me and was absolutely lovely. My iced oat latte was also very yummy, definitely coming back!

Best flat white in Bristol and delicious salted caramel brownie

Full of folk working on laptops

I’m a bus driver so I quite often get a coffee from here. Honestly it’s the best place ever! The mocha is by far the best I’ve ever had. Every coffee is made with absolute love and great quality ingredients, it tastes so good! Even the cakes are amazing, especially the banana and peanut butter cake slice! The staff are very friendly and polite. Highly recommend 10/10.

My favourite cafe in Bristol! Sid the lovely barista let me try their new jasmine peach iced tea, and I have to say it's the best iced tea I've had so far in this country. Never had a bad experience here, they make the best coffee and the staff are always so friendly

Great coffee, great service, lovely atmosphere. I sat in here for a couple of hours to do some work and every member of staff on shift was so friendly and lovely, really brilliant customer service. My coffee was great and the cafe itself is always very clean, airy and a great place to sit and enjoy some food/drink.

Social Cafe was a welcoming little oasis for breakfast near our hotel. Great vegan options and coffees in a slightly industrial little coffee spot / cafe. I highly recommend the banana and chocolate slice which was vegan.

study friendly! iced oat latte was delicious, seems that getting a latte is the call as it’s 12oz for 3.9£ while the flat white is 6oz for 3.7£

Lovely baristas, great coffee and the cakes, hot dangggg. lemon and sticky toffee... both dreamy 🧡

First time ive been here as we usually go to Costa or Starbucks.But i am looking forward to coming again.Great choice of cakes.

Amazing Milk Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino. Highly recommended 👌 👍

I love their flat white but lately I feel that beans are a little too strong for my liking. Also it is depends on a day who serves it, the temperature can be high. They serve a lovely selection of cakes and pastries so we shall return soon for sure.

Always loved this place. But this morning I felt so terrible because of how I was treated. I was waiting for them to open on time, which is of course ok, It was then 9 am, so I stood up to wait for the door to open and the barista guy opened the door, ignored the fact that I was standing there didn’t even look at me and started to move the trash bags in front of the door. So I asked “are you guys opening?” He said well yes we open at nine there is still ONE minute. And he pointed at the trash bags saying unless you want to carry them with me. And it was not a joke or a tease it was almost as if he thought I was asking so much of him to let me in on time… I felt ignored and belittle and he was wrong about the time and made me feel like a burden. I am trying to not let this ruin my morning.

I came in for a cappuccino and a sit down. The staff are very nice and friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend this place if u are ever in Bristol.

Used to come often to the cafe, lovely cakes and great coffee and always friendly staff. Unfortunately, I was extremely unlucky today. I have ordered and oat flat white along with vegan cake. Never had issue with that. Apparently the cashier did not put a note on the ticket and it did not state oat milk. Therefore I was served flat white with cows milk along with friends oat milk coffees which was confusing but of course I took what was mine. I was served cows milk while I am allergy to dairy products. Absolutely unacceptable. After having a sip (sadly I did not realise by smell straight away) I knew it was wrong, got back to the cafe needed to clarify this. Baristas were busy and confirmed it was cows milk, I started feeling ill, and was offered another coffee. Thats it. It was not clarified with another member of staff or manager. I have said I am allergic, but at this stage apology won’t do much. What a shame there was such a little acknowledgment, and honestly will never go back after not being treated seriously with dairy.

Great coffee, the barrister brings your order to your table once taken at the counter.

Lovely staff, delicious coffee, nice ambiance, clean facilities. We had a really positive experience here!

Great coffee house. Nice staff dog friendly Great location and good coffee Reasonable prices

Good access, delicious coffee and cakes and lovely atmosphere

Great coffee, service and atmosphere

Consistently perfect coffee and delicious pastries 👍

great staff and a lovely place for a hot drink and a delicious piece of cake. There are many vegan options! This banana peanut butter cake is my favourite, and it pairs perfectly with a soya chai latte or matcha!!

A bit pricier than I usually go for, but worth it as a treat. Really enjoyed the cinnamon pretzel and coffee that was definitely to my taste.

Very urban-cool cafe with light food and hot and cold drinks. Very good service and a stylish, relaxed ambience.

Two societies in one day, there should be a challenge for 3 or 4 different venues a day to get a free coffee or somthing (maybe not having the free coffee on the same day though...) Great as always!

Coffee tastes so good in here, you should really visit. Atmosphere is friendly and chill also LGBTQ+ friendly 😊

I've only been to this cafe twice and each time has always been a pleasant experience. Relaxed vibe, spacious, and clean. I have only ordered drinks and are good both in taste and portion. Best of all are the staff. Very friendly, accommodating, with initiative, and professional. They're very efficient and greet everyone with a smile. It's the cafe's best asset and is always a good sign of a good cafe.

Absolutely lovely staff and fantastic coffee everytime!! I really love the house made brown sugar syrup in the coffees ♥️♥️♥️♥️

December’s guest hot chocolate is a delicious dark chocolate with peppermint- not just for after eight…

A huge thank you to the Stanley Kubrick of the coffee genre. Not content until the perfect espresso shot was poured. Gave me a free coffee for the mild inconvenience. Truly worth the wait. Lovely mouth feel with balanced acidity. My hero.

Tasty coffee, amazing staff and has a great atmosphere. Must visit!

Perfect late, best I had lemon cake and friendly service.

I was visiting a friend in Bristol from New York, and one day while she worked I spent a few hours at Society Café! What a wonderful environment! The staff were so kind, and genuinely looked like they were enjoying themselves at work. Flat white was 10/10!

I have been meaning to visit Cafe Society in Bristol on Baldwin Street for a while now, but never really had the opportunity. When I have walked past it was usually as I was on my way to another place, or I had just had a coffee somewhere else. So when in town one Saturday and walking past, I decided I would go in for a coffee. The place was busy but there were seats available. There was no queue, so I went to the counter and ordered my coffee, a flat white. Having said that I was drinking in, the barista said to take a seat and they would bring my coffee to me. I took a seat. I noticed that for some of their seats they had a no laptop rule which was interesting. If you did want to use your laptop, there were shared tables available. The rule was enforced, as I did see someone being asked to move to a laptop table. My flat white arrived. It looked fantastic. I really enjoyed the coffee and I think I will certainly visit Cafe Society again.

I got iced matcha green tea latte but I also liked their latte. However, matcha latte was the best one so far I’ve tried in the UK. The shop decorations got me chilling vibe. The seats are a bit limited.

Great for a break from the rain in Bristol quick service and we found a table ok. Decent coffee but didn't try anything else.

Amazing Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate!! Very friendly staff

Place for people, who love coffee

Amazing cafe, knowledgeable staff, great quality coffee - and not too pricey either!

Der Cappuccino ist für britische Verhältnisse sehr gut. Aber nicht ganz günstig 😉. Es gibt Free WiFi und es gab ein Softeis 🍦 aus Hafermilch zum probieren 😋 geschenkt. Das ist verdammt lecker 😋!! Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre im Café. Ein toller Aufenthalt 👍

Being right next to central bus station is an amazing location around lots of activities. We ordered the vegan coffee and walnut, and lemon cake both perfect. Lemon cakes plate was dirty but was quickly resolved with a new slice. Food and service made up for it.

Great for coffee ! And cake and good space for meetings

Please allow CASH payments! Let me know once done 👊😎

Very cool, chilled vibe. Friendly staff and good service.

Coffee is amazing, but the desserts are not- too sweet brownies and standard sponge cakes, nothing extraordinary to match the superb coffee. Also, the chairs without back are very uncomfortable.

Quick easy friendly service Lots of delicious looking bakery items etc to go with coffee, shakes etc Friendly staff made the biggest impression on me

No food apart from a few tray bakes. Drinks OK. Wouldn't go again.

Enjoyed free Oatbased sample icecream. Pleasant atmosphere. Good staff

Great coffee, nice place to relax. Guess they changed their croissant supplier though, used to have the best in the area, now more like supermarket grade.

Very cosy and aesthetic coffee place and it’s always bustling with people. Didn’t try the food but my coffee was a little bitter when served. Nonetheless, I had a great time there

Delicious coffee, well prepared, lovely staff.

Great coffee, but might've been a little cheaper. Alternatives to cow's milk were expensive.

Lovely cafe, trendy but not too trendy, delicious pastries and gorgeous coffee

Opciones sin gluten. Muy amables

Yeah! Great coffee lives here. Beautiful people serve this coffee and desserts for you :) And the place is cute as it is ;) Love it. Will come here again next time. And can highly recommend it for coffee lovers, as you will find everything, from Assembly to Origin roasters. Pure love

Good vibe and great coffee in a convenient location.

Great coffee surrounded by some interesting art

Absolutely loved this cafe. The best selection of cakes, coffee and smoothies. The biscoff brownie was to die for! The staff were super nice too! Wish I had caught the man's name who we were chatting to, but he was so lovely!

Great coffee and atmosphere, in a really nice location, very friendly and helpful staff and as a wheelchair user the automatic door is a real bonus.

Nice coffee and staff I met barista Dan he recommended coffee beans for me excited to try them

Great service and price for a quick coffee. Thank you.

Cute place, nice coffee and pastries

Lovely coffee shop, staff are great, really chatty and had a good laugh when we popped in for coffee. Nice vibes, great coffee and good location for people watching.

Wow Great coffee, smoothies and pastries Friendly service too

Excellent staff. Coffee good. Spacious.

L'accueil est très convivial (impeccable si vous voulez mieux connaître Bristol), les gâteaux sont excellents, et le café est bien fort. En plus c'est central, donc parfait pour commencer une journée d'exploration de la ville

Best coffee i have had, if you like black coffee spot on.

Lovely service, we had a delicious cakes, (carrot cake and banana choc) Great atmosphere,highly recommend

Lovely, airy café. Ideal for our quick breakfast stop. The almond croissants were delicious and generously-filled. Good selection of house and guest coffees. Perfect espresso!

I had a delicious flat white with a great service.

Really lovely cafe! I loved the view from the window on the sqare, also they have amazing carrot cake and very nice filter coffee! There are some nice T-shirts and bags and other merch too, plants and bike pump at the door! 10/10 recomend

Very nice coffee shop with great selection of coffee (house espresso, guest espresso, batch brew and filter), and other drinks, great staff and delicious cakes (we had peanut butter brownie and banana and peanut butter cake). Really nice atmosphere, and nice artwork around.
