Spicer & Cole in Bristol, City of

Fui a dos cafés S y C. Mi principal queja es que dejé un objeto personal por error, pero el café no era contactable en absoluto - el único número que no encontré a nadie y er respuestas (no se utiliza apoarently) , ninguna respuesta a los correos electrónicos, mensajería de Facebook y un intento de WhatsApp. Tardaron dos días en obtener una respuesta (no monitorean mucho el correo electrónico, aparentemente) y por supuesto no hay señales de mi pertenencia. Marco porque si hubiera sido una billetera o pasaporte... no tienes ningún espectáculo recuperándolo. La culpa es mía por dejar atrás, pero los accidentes ocurren, están orientados al cliente y deben ser contactables. Una tienda que servía era educada: la otra era casi deprimente con las miradas grumosas y las respuestas desnudas. Comida y café nada especial. Vaya a un café que realmente se preocupa por sus clientes y apoya lo que un café debe ser. Gente.

El personal amable y encantador, el delicioso pan de plátano y el ambiente impecable. Nos quedamos tan impresionados que volvimos para el desayuno al día siguiente. Los huevos escalfados se cocinaron a la perfección y en tostadas de masa madre desaliñadas. El café estaba delicioso. Todo en el café estaba impecablemente limpio. gracias.

Nos gustó tanto este lugar que terminamos yendo allí dos veces - primero para el desayuno y luego para un poco de pastel. Grandes opciones, deliciosa comida, té y café brillantes y postres muy agradables (incluyendo bolas de poder, que me gusta ya que no soy tan aficionado a los dulces). Este lugar se pone muy ocupado, pero vale la pena esperar.

Era un lunes ocupado cuando mi hija y yo visitamos, pero gran parte del comercio era para llevar, así que no tuvimos ningún problema para conseguir una mesa. Ambos comimos una gran rebanada de tortilla con varias ensaladas. La batata con pesto era particularmente buena. El tamaño de la poción era bueno.

Un poco confundido por las malas críticas recientes, ya que tuvimos una gran experiencia. Después de ser rechazado groseramente en el Mud Dock Café, elegimos Spicer & Cole en su lugar, ya que estaba cerca - y por suerte no nos decepcionaron. Llegamos un poco tarde y fue el cambio al menú del almuerzo, pero tenían grandes bocadillos en exhibición, así que elegimos una de sus foccacias. Sin exagerar, el mejor pan de foccacia que habíamos probado con un montón de rellenos sabrosos. ¡Tan mordaz! Debí haberme llevado algunos a casa. Y todo lo demás en exhibición se veía muy bien también. El personal era muy atento y amable. Por supuesto, no es barato, pero en ningún lugar en estos días. Iría de nuevo si alguna vez cerca de Bristol.

Poached egg was stone cold. Person serving at the till was somewhat rude as well. There was a confusion over the order and I was over charged. Person on till made it seem like it was my fault, when in actual fact it was her fault.

Went to post our marriage notice and thought we would go to Spicer and cole in the Welshback as this is where my fiancé and I went for our first date. A sourpuss barista told us that they only do toast on the weekend and motioned at the uncovered bagels on the side. My fiance ordered an espresso and went to the loo. He returned before his drink was made and we waited a further ten minutes. Insult added to injury as when I asked what was the delay for sourpuss said ‘backlog of drinks’ her colleague sipped his coffee nodding his agreement while I looked around the empty 10am on damp Bristol Tuesday cafe at the ‘backlog’ which was another espresso and a black americano. I asked if I could simply have my money back as I couldn’t understand the inhospitable and officious attitude of the staff. To be told to “calm down it will be ten seconds” with a roll of the eyes from sourpuss. We went to a lovely little brunch spot in Clifton called Foliage and had both toast and a croque as well as hot drinks served in the same time as a single espresso however had a much more pleasant and hospitable experience. Save to say we won’t be back.

Staff are sarcastic and unhelpful. For what it is it’s over priced. Personally I would rather go somewhere else in future

Fab coffee . Lots of veggie options . Had a lovely smoked tofu , avocado , tomato & harrisa ciabatta . My friends bacon one was less good though . Lovely place for brunch .

Good service, lovely fresh food, I accidentally ordered a sausage sandwich instead of a tofu one they were so helpful and gracious about putting it right.much appreciated.

Great little spot with delicious food, (toasted sourdough sandwiches were fab) coffee, fresh orange juice and really lovely staff. Friendly, welcoming and efficient. Thank you!

The best breakfast ever. Amazing and should be the benchmark for all breakfasts served in Bristol. Food was all great, service from the lady staff great and highly recommend.

A great venue for a casual wake up breakfast, friendly staff. Great range of coffee and breakfast snacks.

Arrived this morning for a sit down breakfast. There were lots of people waiting for their takeaway orders but we were greeted with a smile straight away. Ordered a sausage toastie and a jasmine tea. The toastie was beautiful. Toasted well and so tasty..you could tell they only use good quality ingredients. Thanks for a lovely start to our day..will definitely be back when in Bristol next.

I thought I’d write this as I waited for the ladies behind the bar to stop chatting and to concentrate on the ever growing line of people waiting for a coffee on a miserable morning. With no welcome, the attitude was one of being very pleased at providing the most expensive coffee in town for you and any pretence at service be damned. We come here because they do a chai latte which we can’t get elsewhere but if I had a choice - and you don’t need a chai latte - go anywhere else in Clifton. Perhaps to a shop that at least gives a pretence of wanting your custom. I started this review waiting for my normal coffee and I finish it without it having arrived. Chai latte getting cold. Brilliant. Lots of people waiting and not a lot of coffee making…. /sigh

The cafe was very busy. Our food was good, but there were a few issues:- My tea was very weak. The man who looked to be in charge told me that he would add more tea to my pot, but if I wanted another pot in future I would have to pay for the extra tea! When our food turned up the cutlery had run out! You shouldn’t be serving good without cutlery!

Delicious food, excellent choice and generous portions. Good savoury veggie options and yummy pastries.

Fabulous coffee shop. We loved our breakfast here. Poached eggs were cooked beautifully! Lovely coffee, and lots of sweet treats available. All tables were full at the time of our visit so we sat at the window counter and were very comfortable. Plenty of space for us to have our luggage beside us which was a plus as we were on our way to the train station. Staff were also very friendly. Definitely pop in for breakfast and coffee!

We stopped by for breakfast. The staff was extremely helpful in selecting breakfast items. Saturday morning was extremely crowded, with only a few seats remaining. The food was excellent, and the portions were enormous.

Had a super breakfast here. Full plates of delicious food. Tasty coffee. Bustling so clearly popular. Cakes looked good to take away too

Fresh and tasty breakfasts - we had three on three separate days! Seasonal and cooked to order - friendly staff and would highly recommend 👍👍👍

I never write reviews but I was kinda miffed after buying lunch here. I was the only customer waiting at the counter, someone did ask if I wanted to order but took a min or two. While I was waiting for my sandwich to grill there were 4 members of staff milling about behind the counter. Then A lady came in from the rain and was waiting to be served and I watched as the three employees behind the counter were chatting about a festival and an artist performing whilst basically ignoring her… and eventually the lady said ‘excuse me’ and the employee Finished what she was saying to the other employees then attended to her … which just felt so awkward and rude. Another lady came in and the same thing happened. Then the alarm started to go off for my sandwich and nobody moved they carried on talking socially I was just about to say I need to get back for a meeting when someone started to saunter over to the grill whilst still talking to one of her employees. I was watching as she paused chatted, paused stopped. I was just about to say I’m going to be late for a meeting when she eventually put it in the box! Painful. Really felt like as a customer I was interrupting their social. When the cost of living is now really biting I’m finding it harder and harder to justify buying a sandwich and coffee from places like you over the Tesco meal deal. I don’t want it to be the case but experiences like this just make it impossible to justify spending the money.

We stumbled across this beautiful little cafe this morning, looking for breakfast. It was delicious. Great morning buzz, staff were very friendly, and the smashed avocado with feta was so tasty, as was the granola and yoghurt! Would definitely recommend seeking this place out

Lovely lunch of vegetarian savouries and super seasonal salads. Just perfect! Gorgeous whole foods, lovely surroundings, attentive and quick service. Very reasonably priced and generous menu. Our new, favourite cafe!

We stopped here for breakfast on Sunday morning. The staff were friendly and engaging and the menu had a good selection to choose from. It's a pleasant place to sit inside and a good location to get to. My granola was delicious although the pancakes...

Be warned it gets very busy on a Sunday morning. It was the harbour festival, so even busier than usual. Even though they had run out of eggs, they were really friendly and nice, explaining as soon as we arrived. The granola with yoghurt and...

Lovely place to find as the food is enticing and the coffee drinks are great. There were great pastries cakes and tasty bites as well as salads and sandwiches as well a kitchen offering alternatives to a breakfast menu. Great choices and all wonderful! Only...

Very bad experience as a family they basically refused to give us a place for us to sit and insisted we sat outside even though its was raining and we had a baby. There are a lot more other places that are family friendly and...

Tucked away down a no through road between Queen Square and Welsh Back, you might think that this would get little in the way of passing trade, but it was still nonetheless full to capacity on our recent Sunday morning visit. The array of cakes...

Single shot macchiato take way for 2,60 !!!!!!! And long wait ! Very disappointed! I usually pay 144 at milla cafe in city centre or Niro 195 or costa 205 and they come lot quicker

I thought I'd give the food at Spicer & Cole another go, after having a stale salmon bagel here a few weeks ago. What a shame, the bread was obviously not fresh again. I really want to support local businesses, but when it's nearly 8...

We live near this Spicer and Cole in Bristol and come often. My husband has dietary requirements where he is allergic to cheese- they have often swopped the cheese for mushrooms with no issue- until today! Apparently on this day this is ‘not allowed’ and...

I use this place often as it’s close to work. The staff are some of the rudest staff I have ever come across. They leave a huge queue waiting while they make coffees, without even acknowledging or just letting the queue know they’ll be with...

We were looking for breakfast quite early one morning and found this café located just off Queens Square. It is a pleasant modern space but we were very disappointed with the “toast” we had for breakfast. Hot sourdough bread would have been a more accurate...

Came here with our friends for a lovely breakfast with lots of pastries! It was a hard choice since there were tons of yummy pastries you can pick! We ordered the muffin and croissant which both were very nice to have. Love the coffee here...

I had a BLT Sandwich & a Carrot Cake. Loved the Carrot Cake & Sandwich. Service was good. Location is definitely convenient to where I work

Coffee delicious! Breakfast Dry and disappointing. Having read amazing reviews we were expecting a wonderful breakfast however the bread was incredibly dry, not toasted and there was no flavour on the breakfast. They are very well presented and perhaps spend too much time on the...

I was shocked at the rudeness of one of the waitresses managing the tables. Upon entry we asked for a table as a walk in and were advised there were none available. Then politely asked what the the rough waiting time would be (restaurant was...

This place is superb. Excellent coffe, but the breakfasts are on another level. Just superb. Bristols finest, and highly recommended !!

Lovely cafe, coffee was great and they had so many options for food! the banana bread was especially good, and the staff were lovely and catered so well for my nut allergy! plenty of vegan options, dog friendly - my favourite cafe in clifton!

Featured and recommended in the South West Independent Coffee Guide. An industrial space serving great food and coffee. Nice display of savouries and pastries.

Not the best experience here, went for brunch after hearing it was great. We were greeted by a very rude and bossy manager. I was then told I couldn’t swap poached egg for scrambled egg on my brunch - which I have never been told...

Long queues due to popularity. Good menu range but fairly pricey due to trendy food premium. Pastries were a bit disappointing, very heavy. Excellent coffee.

We had smoked salmon bagel and English breakfast with sourdough toast. Both breads are very hard to chew and my jaw felt sore after finishing my bagel. Bread shouldn’t be like that! There was long waiting for us from ordering to getting the food, at...

Popped in for breakfast on the bank holiday (bacon sandwich and a latte) and oh my, it was amazing. Literally the best bacon sandwich ever! Sourdough and local artisan smoked bacon. I want it again already...

Exceptional breakfast. My perfect veggie breakfast, but they did have meat options! Friendly staff, quality produce, recommended!!

I go to this coffee shop regularly as it is the closest to my office. The coffee is good and the salad selections are good but generally overpriced. On my most recent trip I purchased a chicken baguette which had obviously been left out longer...

This is the second time we've been here and we weren't disappointed. The vegetarian breakfast is substantial and cooked fresh upon ordering. Great coffee and a lovely atmosphere...highly recommend for breakfasts. The lunchtime sandwiches and baguettes looked great too...proper bread!

This is our go-to for weekend breakfast whenever in Bristol. The staff are lovely, and the food is delicious - takeaway pastries or sit-down noshup, it's all good. It has an artisanal feel about the place, without the flounce. Exceptional coffee, with dairy alternatives (I...

Awful experience. Was told there was a no laptop rule so was forced to leave. I would understand if I was sitting there for hours on end and not ordering anything but I hadn’t even finished my drink and was about to order food. I...

Lovely food! Very busy and had to wait a while to be served due to the restaurant not doing table service, so once seated we had to order at the counter. Food was lovely and all freshly made! Really enjoyed our visit

A great little place this is, you walk in and all you can see are cakes and pastries, has some nice seating area outside, staff were excellent, and the poached eggs were fantastic aswell

Waited 20 minutes in the queue to be told to wait to one side for a table. Led out of the queue to a table to then be told that someone would then need to join the queue again to order. Left and went elsewhere...

I’ve been here a few times now as I live nearby, and the quality of the food is always pretty good. However I usually have to wait for far too long when sat down. Four of us went here for brunch and ordered pretty simple...

Stopped here for breakfast. The items we wanted weren’t available? Settled for hallumi & mushroom bap, and avocado on toast. Very expensive at £20 for those 2 items plus 1 tea & 1 coffee. The staff were very friendly & obliging.

Visited here recently for lunch. I had caramelised onion tart with salad and toasted banana bread. Both were really good. High quality of food. Would definitely recommend

Lovely cafe, great food with an excellent choice. Lovely staff made sure we had a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast. Plenty of room inside and out. A fine example how to operate a food establishment in these difficult times!

Came here for brunch with a friend after hearing many good things about it and it did not disappoint. Coffee was good and the eggs and avo on sourdough toast was splendid.

Staff not too friendly but helpful......... excellent selection of teas , coffee and cake, I was feeling blocked up with a cold but the orange /ginger tea was excellent and helped me breath !....... Bit pricey ...... I guessed the tea and coffee had been...

I really delighted the breakfast at Spicer and Cole. I took the sourdough avocado toast with poached egg, the yogurt with homemade granola and berries and a cup of English Breakfast tea. Everything was really nice! What a pity that they put the cakes out...

Thanks guys ! The breakfast was delicious. Coffee was insane. Great service, cool atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Lovely tasty breakfast we visit here every time we come to Bristol; really good quality food and big choice of teas and coffees. My daughter had an Oreo cake (for breakfast... we were on holiday🤣) and it was delicious. Only downside was they forgot our...

I visited for breakfast this morning for the veggie breakfast and a coffee! Stunning latte art made with oat milk and outstanding service... the food was delicious, better than most chain breakfasts! Special comment to the lady with black hair and black outfit that serviced...

This place is constantly busy because the food is so good. We had breakfast here 2 days on the trot and each time it was great. Coffee is really good as is the cooked breakfast. Limited seating due to the current situation, but the staff...

We had a bargain lunch on an Eat Out to Help Out day - a BLT sandwich and a large salad platter, plus a coffee and a cake each. The food was delicious, and the service friendly and efficient. We'll be back when we return...

Found this restaurant on trip advisor. Reviews looked good so we thought we would give it a go. Nice and spacious, very clean and Welcoming staff. Such a good breakfast menu. We opted for a cooked breakfast and it was delicious! Especially the sausage. We...

A great little cafe. Went on a Sunday morning- really busy by 9.30am. Friendly staff, great coffee and food. Only thing was we had to wait for 30 mins for coffee and food. But was worth the wait.

As I was passing the Queen Sqaure Ave Spicer and Cole this morning, I saw it looked quiet so decided to nip in for a takeaway coffee. The young man behind the counter was serving another customer and then went off to prepare food for...

The salads are incredible! Lovely coffee and a great place to work in, will definitely come back again

variety of breakfasts, healthy options and pretty quick service. So good we came back for the second day.

A local cafe recommended this place to us for breakfast and we were glad they did. I had eggs benedict, and it was very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. We are likely to come here again.

I came back to this place for breakfast. This time I was by myself. I had another delicious fresh orange juice and the french toast with berry compote & yoghurt. It was amazing. This place will make you look forward to getting out of bed. If I lived in Bristol, this place would be dangerous for me.

The Coffee here is good, however the service is so slow. I waited 10 minutes for a flat white this morning and there was no one waiting before me. The lady who served me said "it wont be long" well it was. Also the board says it £2.75 for a flat white and when i checked my statement I was charged £3.10.

The staff were okay but the food wasn't. The hot corn fritter and hot egg, sandwiched cold avocado which took the heat out of the former...it was also server on a chipped plate. What's more, they discriminate against non guide dogs...never again!

Smarter looking than most of the other cafes on Gloucester Road. An inverted snob may dismiss the place as a bit "hipster", but they managed to do a simple poached egg on toast perfectly and a sweet potato and egg dish was tasty too. Top class coffee,

Excellent stop for a coffee and cake. Very good coffee and a friendly staff team set in a lovely part of foen

Took the family here and had a wide range of choices to meet everyone’s requirements from full cooked breakfast will all trimmings, to vegetarian choices to just gorgeous sour dough toast. A great choice of tea and coffees and fruit teas for me.

This place was a good find. It was busy for the whole time we were there on a Saturday morning. Mocha was good! Not too sweet. The breakfast was super tasty. We sweet potato hash special seemed popular as they ran out of the chorizo option but the halloumi option was great too. The side of house made spicy beans were perfect. If I could buy them to take them back to Australia, I would. The S+C Breakfast was also amazing, the bread was soft and fresh. Soy milk available and free wifi.

Went for breakfast - nice relaxed vibe, excellent coffee - historic house granola and a decent sourdough toast with smashed avocado and chilli. Finished off by two historic cakes. First class produce.

Very happy with this piace, food and drink was very good and big variety of choice, we will be back for sure!

Che sia per un lunch o per un breakfast, i prodotti sono sempre freschi e variano tutti i giorni! I dolci sono buonissimi, associati ad un buon thé o caffé.

Stopped in for brunch, cake and coffee. The food was great and you the servings are a good size. The carrot cake and coffee are both great!

Stopped off at Spicer and Cole, we had a really Tasty brunch. It was Very busy but got lucky and managed to find a table. Cakes looked amazing but so full after sweet pot hash with eggs and halloumi !!

Gran lugar para el desayuno. Cubre opciones vegetarianas y veganas. Pasteles encantadores y una selección de cafés para invitados disponibles. El desayuno preparado fue una excelente manera de comenzar el día de caminar y prepararme para el día. También huevos benedictinos. Buena selección que incluye cereales, tostadas, panes y opciones calientes.

Went today and it was too busy. Ordered a piece of tortila and it was expensive, small with no salad or anything and to top it off, it did not taste good :(

We were looking for breakfast on Bank holiday Monday and they were open when other places were still closed. Good coffee and good breakfast, though the full English was quite a long time coming. One request though, the bacon was quite fatty and something thicker and leaner would’ve more to my taste. Sadly no room or time for their very good looking cakes.

£5.95 for pouched eggs on toast with one slice on bread... 3.50 for the tingest bit of smoked salmon (which wasn’t the finest smoked salmon, cheap stuff u get)

We wanted to eat breakfast in Bristol but it was only half past seven in the morning and all the other recommended places weren't open yet. Our luck! We had a really lovely breakfast served by nice staff. The coffee was really tasty and strong since I asked for an extra shot.

We visited for brunch recently on a Sunday. It was busy and not too many tables were free, nor were there many cakes and things left on the counter.

Lovely place I didn’t even know existed! Had a lovely sparkling water and a peace of cake as having a few days away from caffeine but the coffees looked lovely and so did the menu - I will return.

We visited Spicer and Cole for Sunday breakfast, and all the tables were constantly taken - it's clearly popular with locals. There's an interesting and varied menu, from a good quality English breakfast to vegan and vegetarian options. I'd be happy to go again.

Popped in for a quick lunch and didn’t disappoint. Fantastic, good quality food, served by helpful, smiley staff! Well worth a visit when in central Bristol. Best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Loads of veggie and vegan options as well. Fantastic place.

Great place for a healthy lunch if you manage to avoid the cake selection. I am a frequent visitor to the Gloucester Road branch and this one is just as good.

Was doing a bit of a coffee shop tour around Bristol today and stopped by earlier on this afternoon. Had a piece of Rocky Road Cake and a cappuccino and thought they were both very nice. A very nice coffee shop but not the cheapest.

Wpadliśmy na szybką kawę i zostaliśmy na dłużej. Bardzo smaczne wypieki, świetna atmosfera i przepyszna kawa. Szukasz miejsca by miło spędzić czas to to jest to miejsce.

Regresé después de una gran visita hace unas semanas (no puedo creer que hayamos durado tanto). El café aquí es uno de los mejores que he probado en Bristol y los pasteles son absolutamente deliciosos y un poco diferentes de otros cafés con muchos sabores excelentes. Ambiente muy relajado y amable personal! Definitivamente recomiendo probarlo, especialmente durante las horas pico de la mañana y el almuerzo.

We stopped here for coffee and a healthy lunch, lots of salad options on the counter and freshly made cakes, gluten free items. Food was great, coffee was great, staff friendly, service a little slow but still wish we had one in London :)

Mistakenly followed recommendations to try brunch in this busy cafe and managed to eat our hot food before the coffees were produced... nearly 30 minutes after ordering.

Spicer + Cole, qué diablos puedo decir. Opté por el granola en este excelente verano de 420 días; intentando ser más saludable que el día promedio. Aunque mencioné que era encantador, sin embargo, fue una espera muy larga. Lo creas o no, un tazón con un poco de yogur, cereales y frutas arrojados juntos tomó 40 minutos. No estoy seguro de cómo se atascó en la cocina, ¡pero no me gustó lo mejor, por decir lo menos!

Fui aquí ayer. . . . . se veía genial Fui a pagar y cuando la máquina de la tarjeta estaba pegada a unos pasteles daneses, desafortunadamente aplasté mi mano en un pastel danés pegajoso. Le dije a la joven. . . . . su respuesta . . y cito. . . estaba. . " Oh bien " . Reorganicé los pasteles para poder acceder a la máquina. . . . . Esperaba que quitaran el pastel. Ellos no. Le pregunté si iba a eliminarlo, ella dijo que no. . . . . que estaba bien Busqué a otra camarera y le dije. . . . . ella se rio . . . . Entonces encontré otro. . . . Ella sacó el danés aplastado. . . . que fue genial Sin embargo. . . . Cuando salí de la tienda y me senté afuera. . . . . ella solo lo puso de nuevo en el mostrador para que alguien lo compre. Prácticas sucias. Yuk No voy a entrar allí de nuevo. . . . Debido a la falta de atención prestada a la higiene de los alimentos y la falta de preocupación de 3 miembros del personal. Si desea ver su CCTV. . . . . Fue justo después de las 11. 30.
