The Bristol Loaf in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ordered wedding cakes from this lovely shop, one chocolate and one gluten free orange and almond. Absolutely amazing cakes, beautiful presentation with lovely flowers and spot on delivery time. Can't recommend enough. Such tasty cakes! Thanks

The bread and baked goods that are prepared and served here, are among the best in Bristol. We also had some cups of coffee, which was all refreshing.

Stopped in on a passing by basis; very inviting street front with good vibes as soon as you step in the door. Simple menu focusing on, not surprisingly, the bakery. Relaxing ambiance, really enjoyable food, service a bit slow, but when you are popular, you are busy! Worth the wait, enjoyed my lunch.

Please sort out your serving system. On a busy Saturday you only have one person serving the takeaway queue. It takes 15mins to get served when there are only 3 people in the queue in front! I only want a loaf of bread! This has been the case for years! Not a new thing.

what a wonderful experience we had today , one of the best roasts we have had , and we have a lot of them ! Great taste, well portioned very relaxed atmosphere all topped with lovely friendly service. Well done

Previously had great service when buying at Loaf but I echo a previous reviewer, male staff member really quite rude when informing us they had sold out of sourdough (pm 3/1/23).

What wonderful bread and coffee 👌well worth the extra cost I had roasted sourdough with butter and black coffee superb 👌

The guy on the till couldn’t hear what I said and literally responded with “what??”. Just really rude and impatient. If your dealing with customers at least be patient about it. If you’ve got a chip in your shoulder then why work with customers. Sort it out

Whenever I'm Bristol I go to the Loaf for their cakes and breads. I especially love their sumptuous, decadent Basque cheesecake, the fluffiest and plumpest I've ever seen, usually with a compote on top that varies from time time (this time it was rhubarb) and adds another dimension. very generous portions too. Their sandwiches and other savouries look very appealing too. Not cheap, but certainly reasonable for the price and the quantity.

It's very simple and cosy inside with the plants, the food and staff are amazing. The menu was simple and to the point. I would come back for food here

We were recommended this place by a reputable source, so we're very excited to have breakfast here. Unfortunately, our expectations were far from met. Staff and setting were fantastic, a great vibe. The coffee: tasted GREAT, but was Unfortunately nowhere near hot so had to be drank quickly in order to enjoy it without going stone cold. The bacon sandwich with hash browns: Again, the potential for a great sandwich was there with the obviously good ingredients. But again, it came out cold. At £8.50 I expected better, a lot better. This was a £25 breakfast that left an unfortunate taste from our high expectations.

The staff were excellent, very helpful and pleasant, and the cafe itself very informal, but with lots of good things on display - wine, cheese, baked goods… We came to have some lunch - we are staying just around the corner - and spotted Loaf while out for a walk. The food was superb, and the coffee equally good. We had Turkish eggs - son; bacon sandwich - husband; and I had cinnamon French toast with apple purée and peanut butter ice cream. They were all wonderful, but my choice was outstanding! The sourdough French toast was so light but crispy round the edges, and the apple and the peanut butter accompaniments really made it sing! Fabulous. The flat white coffee was also excellent.

Excellent salted caramel brownie and recently I had a passionfruit meringue thing which was divine!! Good ham and picallilli doorstep sarnies.

Have just visited. We had intended having brunch nearby while waiting for it to open came across Loaf and recalled a friend (in catering) said how good it was. How right they were. The vegan options we had were outstanding in quality and flavour. I have a big big appetite but needed to request a box to take home some if the awesome salad. Despite this I was tempted to the chocolate and tahini caramel cake. Glad I was. Best cake had in a cafe. This will no doubt become one of our go to places. Oh, and the cost was so surprisingly reasonable. Wins all around.

Great spot to have a business lunch if your in the city. The food was delicious and they make a pretty mean flat white for all the coffee lovers! It’s a great space, the staff are really friendly and the food is well priced.

Love to come in here for a working lunch. Tend to have a flat white, sausage roll with the fermented ketchup (yummy!) and half a pint of the pilsner- all in all just perfect!

Came for a quick coffee for my weekend away in bristol, service was amzing, a lovely blond, I think her name was katie gave me such a good service, and catered to everything I needed. Definitely come back again!!

Lovely atmosphere, not too busy on a Thursday morning with 2 adults and a toddler. Very nice chai latte and flat white, good selection of kids cartons. Enjoyed the poached egg breakfast dish with mushrooms although yolk was overdone. Bacon sandwich not great, bacon very thick and greasy. Pancakes with rhubarb very nice. Staff friendly and attentive.

Breakfast with my daughter. Obviously very popular and a wide range of customers - anyone would feel at home here. It reminded me a bit of America where they really know how to do breakfast. Charming Spanish waiter! The bread (which you could glimpse being made by hand) was gorgeous. Also a range of unusual fruit and veg on sale. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would be very happy to return.

Nice place, with best cinnamon swirls, in town but ordered bacon sandwiches today and it was like eating gristly, fat pork chops with extra grease! Yuck! Still feel ill at the thought of it. Waiting staff quite snooty as well so felt pretty unwelcome. Not...

Absolutely brilliant experience here. All staff super friendly and helpful (shoutout to Roberta!) and food was delicious. It’s a long way to go for me but I will be back!

We ordered 3 celebration cakes online from these guys ….. for our family party ……WoW ….they were absolutely stunning…. The decoration of each individual cake was so beautiful with fruit and flowers …and the taste sublime ….5 star service all round ….we can’t wait for...

BY FAR the best non-vegan cafe south of Bristol for catering for vegans. They've got really good baked goods, cakes and lunch options and nice coffees as well. I go to Loaf fairly often to treat myself for a lunch or cake and coffee, it's...

I was looking forward to popping in for some pastries on a Sunday morning, I was a little early so bought some lovely veg from the shop first. I was disappointed to be shouted at by the bakery staff for looking at the menu. I...

It was my Mum‘s 60th this month and due to Covid we Kids couldn’t be there. Thanks to the Bristol Loaf we were still able to make her birthday special with this gorgeous cake which we had delivered :). Her being quite a baker herself...

Lovely coffee and a lovely place! Always a treat to go here. They now have a simple one way system to follow so easy and safe to get your coffee fix! Got the loyality card via magic stamp so can save up coffee stamps to...

Delicious pastries and spectacular coffee - the chai was also lovely! Great range of vegan options too. Would have been a plus if you didn’t have to pay more for plant milks 🌱

Just had a loaf deli lunch delivered It’s picked me right up in mood and energy....and I haven’t had to move a muscle.....apart from eat and savour the flavour..... Beet hummus out of this world.....rich light and earthy.... Turmeric & ginger sauerkraut perfectly balanced and...

In normal times, it's a Bakery and Café. In November 2020, it's a hole in the wall takeaway. Actually, two holes in the wall. Queue up at the first one to order and pay. Then walk next door where smiley lady #2 is already making...

Lovely food but so slow and staff don’t seem to have any sense of urgency to clear tables or take payment to free up tables. Think the owners/managers need to do some training - the food is lovely but they won’t succeed if the customer...

We queued for about 40 minutes to get in, no problem with that. Initial approach from staff was quick but food then took another 45 mins to arrive.....and then order was incorrect. Offered free toastie if we ate incorrect order or they could remake correct...

love the decor, plants and all the things one could hope for if you're me- tasty breads, salads and amazing cakes. Personal favourite; (gluten free) dark chocolate, raspberry and flapjack- first given as a birthday treat a few years back and has got me hooked....

Very chaotic bakery/cafe. Service is very very slow, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, no one is working together to serve customers, they just look on and give a very vacant smile to queuing customers, which they appear to think solves their poor...

The best sourdough loaf in Bristol, no competition. The staff are always happy and friendly and the selection of cakes and treats are to die for.

Love love this place. The coffees and cakes are insanely good. But by far the best thing is the squashage rolls. 👌👌

Popped in for an indulgent cappuccino and tasty frittata and was pleasantly surprised to find that the seating area had been extended since my last visit so no problem in finding a spare table. This place is becoming a favourite choice for mid morning or...

Went to the Bristol Loaf for the first time yesterday . Great building , a fair amount of tables . Flowers and fresh water on the tables . Overwhelming amount of amazing baked goods to eat in or takeaway. Lovely generous salads. I had an...

This place is amazing! We are so lucky to live just down the road. Amazing sandwiches, bread, cakes and coffee. The food is incredible, just make sure you get there early as they tend to run out. I just wish you were open on Sundays...

Artisanal bakeries are common amongst the bristol food scene, and all offer amazing quality produce. However The Bristol Loaf is hands down the best bakery and deli Bristol has to offer. Always super friendly & welcoming staff great you as you enter this expanded bakers...

4th visit now, bit of a trek with kids BUT I cannot praise you guys enough, I had a selection of the salads along with the pizza......and wow. The salads were all balanced well with flavours and varying in textures!! You guys should get on...

I visited The Bristol Loaf whilst waiting for a car service nearby. The staff were very friendly, and I liked the simple decor inside. The food and coffee was great and I’ll be sure to come back to try some of the bread / pastries...

This is my favourite coffee shop in Bristol. The coffee is good, staff are friendly and the food is amazing. The bread is to die for, the veggie sausage rolls, the croissants, the sandwiches....all amazing. Only problem is I always want it all!!

Its a great rustic venue, which does amazing toasties. There are plenty of products for you to buy, its hard not to walk about with something

Popped in for lunch while we had a spare hour. All members of staff were keen to say hello to our pooch and seemed genuinely happy, chatty people. They even took a few snaps of the pooch. The food was wonderful (I would recommend the...
