Tradewind Espresso in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited recently. Nice little cafe which seems popular. Coffee is average though served in very small cups. Poor value for the price charged. I asked for a larger cup! My question is why does it take so long to warm up a scone?! Must have waited for about 20 minutes with no apology. Partner was not given his cake either until asked. When both arrived coffees were cold. Partner did receive another espresso when asked though!

Had the poached eggs on sourdough with a side order of house beans, which were in a delicious thick and creamy sauce, complementing the breakfast perfectly. Nice coffee and friendly vibe. Will come again on next visit.

Something of a hidden gem on Whiteladies road, this independent place surprised us with its excellent lattes and inventive breakfast menu. The tarragon mushrooms with plum sauce, pumpkin toasted seeds and Brie was served with a mountain of fresh rocket salad on sourdough. Exquisite flavours, no pretension. Highly recommended. Ate most before I thought of taking a photo !!

They describe themselves as a speciality coffee place, but on the basis of our flat whites, they are nothing of the sort. Extremely weak, to the point that coffee flavours were hardly detectable. The barista lacked basic skills. A bit of a waste of money, really.

I have only been a few times since a management change and the coffee is bad. The house blend Highground was delicious, the recent cappucinos have been so hot that you can't taste coffee just heat, the barristas are not up to scratch , the price has gone up, it's a shame as this used to be an excellent neighbourhood cafe. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Dropped in to get a take away latte, big mistake, asked what alternatives they had to cows milk, oat & almond, they make the almond milk themselves & was an extra 80p, ok, tbf some coffee shops charge extra for plant based, well as a trained barista I was surprised that my latte was served in a flat white cup ~ so SMALL, didn't start drinking it until I had left, shame really cus it wasn't very warm, there was FAR too much froth for a latte & it was REALLY bitter but REALLY sweet at the same time ~ hideous, met up with my coffee loving son~in~law, offered it to him, he screwed up his face, thought there was hazlenut syrup in it & couldn't drink it as it was sooooooo bitter ~ £3.70 for a very small undrinkable coffee !! The staff were odd, the barista looked like she had lost the will to live, the girl who served me rushed through, I had intended to buy a snack. but didn't really have the opportunity to look at the cakes & she didn't ask if I wanted anything else so poor upselling, after she served me she stood holding on the worktop with her back to the shop doing a weird kind of dancy, wiggling ass thing, I think she thought she was cool, frankly the coffee was unfortunatley cooler

We were staying in Bristol overnight for a university visit and Tradewinds was recommended for breakfast by our Airbnb host. The coffee was some of the best we have had. My porridge was delicious, creamy comforting. Husband had eggs on sourdough and, whilst the portion may have been a little small, he said it was very tasty. All in all a good experience, I'm sure we will be back.

Another exceptional cafe in Clifton, just on Whiteladies Rd. Tradewind Espesso is a super warm place with nice deco. We ordered a few food and coffee that day, including this Egg Royale and the scone! The food were super fresh and yummy, especially the Egg Royale with the sauce. The scone was in a dense texture with cheesy taste. Coffee were super nice in choco taste with nice aroma and aftertaste.

I'm guessing I last went here in June this year but I can't remember as I've been so many times! If you're after high-quality artisan coffee and service with a smile (and maybe even a cheeky cake or biscuit on the side), this is the place for you. I love the quirky vibes, too. I'd say it's my favourite place for coffee on Whiteladies. Just go. You know you want to...

Ok coffee, bad food, staff and atmosphere is without soul. I would advise going to Burra which is just across the road.

I had high hopes for this place, looking at their instagram. The price for three drinks and three cakes was £21+£2 delivery, ordered for an outdoor work meeting. The brownie was plain and dry, the crumble cake was okay but stodgy, and the third cake was literally the size of a golf ball and dry. The drinks were very small, and the coffee was overroasted and bitter. The black tea with a dash of milk was cold on arrival and basically half milk. Really not happy - I mean I'm writing a tripadvisor review - that's how unhappy I am...

I really like this place. The food is always to a great standard and very well presented. For me personally it’s more on the healthy side than I’m usually a fan of but, all the same it really is a lovely place to visit to sit in or take out. Hopefully they’ll be able to pull through this tough time for small businesses.

Stopped by for a rapid coffee and was courteously asked to wait for a table to free up (to maintain good social distancing ✅). Once available I sat outside in the covered, heated, seating area. Very cosy in the pouring rain! ✅ Staff lovely and espresso delicious - it packs a punch. ✅ Very very "Covid-Courteous" - well done all. ✅✅✅

Excellent hygiene and covid safe practices, signs and instructions. One of the best coffees in Bristol Hot choc with lotus biscuits delicious

A fairly compact coffee shop on the popular Whiteladies Road, we were only popping in for a quick snack but it appears that more substantial offerings are available with the friendly waitress offering us a menu. The cake selection was rather limited and certainly unusual – if you’re after a Victoria Sponge or a Millionaire’s Shortbread then you’re going to be out of luck. I went for a Lemon & Thyme Polenta cake which certainly wouldn’t have been my usual choice but it was actually pretty good. A decent balance of lemon and thyme, suitably sweet and with only a slightly gritty texture being due to the polenta perhaps, but this didn’t detract from it in anyway. My only criticism would be the portion size, which seemed a little on the small size. Across the table a Cranberry Crumble was also well received, and this was a much more generous portion. Personally I felt that a little more sweetness might have helped to counteract the tartness of the cranberries, but that is just personal preference I’m sure. A latte was again somewhat on the small side, and served in one of those annoying handleless glasses, meaning that one has to be quite careful picking it up not to burn your fingers. A Bristol Breakfast Tea was pretty good though, and again a more generous portion complete with a small jug of milk that was enough to make two or three cups. Overall, I though this had a pleasant, relaxed vibe, friendly staff and decent food, but the limited choice and small portion sizes, especially given the price (£11.85 for two drinks and two cakes) mean that it’s probably not somewhere I’ll make a point of rushing back to.

Descovered a fab little cafe, close to The Downs, popped in after a long walk to escape from the rain, happy to find a place with lovely coffee and cute little menu. Trendy but comfy atmosphere to watch the world go by!

Después de leer las críticas recientes que ha tenido este lugar, no puedo creer que estén describiendo mi café local. He estado yendo a Tradewind desde que abrieron y las mañanas de fin de semana siempre comienzan con una visita aquí. La mezcla de la casa High Ground es deliciosa. Los precios no son baratos, pero veo mi café como un regalo, no como una necesidad. La comida es buena, el tamaño de las porciones suele ser demasiado grande para una persona. El personal siempre es amable y acogedor.

Came here the other day, the coffee was great, really like the homemade almond milk. Staff were all really welcoming. Will definitely come back.

Staff are unfortunately not very welcoming. No smile or eye contact. Given the plethora of coffee shops why comeback. The decor, coffee and cake are good. Shame about the attitude

Reasonable coffee and sandwich let down by the attitude of the staff. A smile costs nothing and makes such a positive difference.

First time here - we had Champions Brunch (toast, eggs, chorizo, avocado) and the Budda Bowl (bulgar wheat, artichokes, etc). Both came with ample mixed fresh greens with an incredible light dressing.Service was fast and friendly, no complaints.Suggestion - when asked what was in the Scotch Oats that was not gluten free - our waiter promptly checked and advised that the oats themselves were not. These can easily be bought gluten free and normally are.

We have been coming to this cafe since it opened and the food has always been great. It is now more pricey and the service has gone severely down hill. Previously you came in and sat down and with seconds you would be presented with a menu and bottle of water. Now it is hard to get any service at all and staff don't really seem to care about providing a good and welcoming experience to the visit. This seems to be the way with a lot of places after they open and it is a shame that Tradewinds have followed suit. I probably will be back, the great service used to be one of the cafés selling points, now it is a matter of gritting teeth until the food comes.

Messy tables. Can’t swap food items on the menu. Took 15 minuets to get a coffee. Will not be returning

Mi hijo y yo fuimos a tomar un café en una soleada mañana de domingo, mientras mi esposa estaba ocupada corriendo la Carrera por la Vida en las bajas. Tradewind está decorado con muy buen gusto y el personal era amable y servicial. Había pasteles encantadores disponibles, pero no nos quedamos mucho tiempo, así que optamos por un gran espresso y un chocolate caliente. El café estaba muy ocupado, así que nos sentamos afuera, en un banco frente a la tienda. Hay pequeñas mesas abatibles, chic y plegables para tus bebidas, son muy lindas. Nos trajeron nuestras bebidas después de unos cinco minutos. Mi espresso fue el mejor que he tenido. Esto puede parecer un reclamo poco probable, incluso hiperbólico, pero lo dejé una semana antes de escribir esto, y todavía siento lo mismo. Una sensación en boca realmente espesa, y un montón de sabor. Era realmente fuerte y bastante amargo, pero muy complejo. Lo mejor de todo, si bien el sabor era enorme, los niveles de cafeína no eran excesivos, por lo que no tuve nerviosismo después. Mi hijo también comentó que su chocolate caliente era inusualmente bueno. No tomé nota de los precios exactos, pero ambas bebidas llegaron a alrededor de 5. Definitivamente voy a ir de nuevo.

One shot, no syrup, just a regular latte but with almond milk & ice please - takeaway. What did I get........ well - once on the bus I took a sip and instantly spat it out. It had that horrid syrup flavoring that I specifically requested not to have. Bad service. Sorry. But this was unforgivable on a day I just had!!

I go here because I like the coffee and the interior is nice, but unfortunately the staff are just plain rude and make you feel like they are doing you a favour serving you.

Waited 15 minutes for them to make a cup of coffee despite there being no que instead talking to each other. Also charging 80p for dairy free milk is absurd

I was shocked into leaving as a member of staff rudely asked me why I was waiting (just looking through the menu) and then seemed genuinely irked when I asked for a soy latte. I was not aware that they do not sell soy milk and when I asked what other milks were available I was met with a huge sigh and no eye contact. I felt as if I had intruded her home and so embarrassingly left. I looked back to see her doing an impression of me to another scoffing staff member. I’ve never been so horribly dealt with.

I would love to rave about this place. It’s in a great location on Whiteladies Rd and it’s nicely kitted out. However, the hot drinks whether it’s a V60 or a hot chocolate are not served hot however much you ask. It’s a real shame.

Ok so the place is nice...the coffee is good...the food is good but overpriced. But the vibe from the staff is often quite unfriendly and a bit 'snooty'. The place attracts a very Clifton crowd, jam packed with yummy mummies, which maybe adds to that lack of warm welcoming vibe. It's a perfectly fine place to go once but as a regular coffee place it doesn't have a lot of charm.

Called for breakfast after an early start to Bristol.

I have been to Tradewind many, many times since it opened, I always said it is was the best coffee and brunch in Bristol. Sadly, the two ‘full easterly’ breakfasts we had this Saturday morning were of poor quality (compared to what it used to be) and the flat white I had just tasted of warm milk. My partner’s Americano was tiny. Having just checked the receipt I see they charged £10.50 each for the breakfasts when it clearly said £10 on the menu. Not impressed and won’t be returning, which is a real shame given how great it once was. I appreciate that good staff are hard to retain in this industry but if you are charging premium prices, you need to offer a premium product.

My mum and I were just looking for a nice bunch spot and were recommended Tradewind by a near by store - I had the 'Brunch of Champions' and it was amazing, the eggs were poached perfect and the chorizo was absolutely delicious. Given 4 stars instead of 5 as the coffee was slightly expensive for the size of cup received. The coffee was delicious as well, though! I would recommend.

I've visited Tradewind regularly over the last few years, as it's my local cafe. The coffee is very good and the space is elegantly designed.

A friend recommended this place, I went in for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. I had a delicious BLT, which was recommended by a staff member. And my coffee (flat white) was one of the best coffees I’ve had in bristol! Definitely will come back, highly recommend.

The coffee is good but the size for pice is appalling. 2 Americanos barely bigger than espresso for £2.50 each. We were going to eat but after the coffee arrived decided to drink up and go to marmalade cafe just up the road for good coffee, food, and value

I rarely bother to leave a review when I’m less than impressed- I think it could be ‘one of those days’ and I don’t like to damn with one experience. But Tradewind has repeatedly irritated me and others to the point of frustration. The worst part? The food is really quite good. And they’re ruining it.

Not sure where all the negative customer service comments come from, I have coffee here at least 3 times a week and the service is faultless , friendly and no slower than anywhere else making good coffee on a single machine - and the coffee is right up there with Bristols best .

First time here in about 12 months. Same excellent tea, same great polite service and the usual “unusual” cake selection. Today I had a slice of courgette and poppy seed cake. The mint leaf on top was a stroke of genius. The cake was not over-sweet and about as healthy as “cake” can get!!

the coffee was very VERY expensive, the staff are very nice but it took a really long time to get my drink. Won't be returning I'm afraid.

Went in for some lunch. Sat at a table at 12.50. Nobody asked if I would like a drink, offered a menu or acknowledged my existence in any way whatsoever. Left at 1.15.

I have been there a couple of times. Once with my partner and then as part of a large group of friends. Their coffee is really delicious, the food is good although a bit overpriced. The main issue with this place is the service. They are really slow and they do not have system for charging slightly larger groups of people. This is the main issue with this cafe.

We had a less than positive experience here a while ago and I have held off going back but staff really friendly and I will now use again. Lovely vegan coffee and muffin

Have been a couple of times and have never really had a great experience but never bothered to leave a review, but third visit actually left me shocked.

Third visit and after the first I have been shocked on every trip by how bad it is here.

I went in because I saw the Roasted Rituals sign and I loved the coffee and the scrambled eggs on sourdough. The service was great and so is the decoration. Definitely would love to go back.

This is the place where I start most of my days and one of the reasons that I keep going back is how friendly the staff is. Another important reason, is that they make their own almond milk! It is delicious! Food always good!

Love going to this little cafe for a catch up with a friend, it is quite small so have to be lucky to get a table when it’s busy but it is super yummy so worth it, there is an outdoor seating area out back which is great extra space as long as the weather allows it. About a 5 minute walk from the top of the hill by the downs (grass area). Been here a few times for brunch and coffee, always yummy. And the little nod to hot air balloons when in the city that hosts the biggest balloon fiesta in Europe is very sweet.

I’d been visiting this place every so often if in Clifton for work over the past few months, normally a very pleasurable experience. Such a shame lately two young men have been in the past couple of time I’ve been in during the weeks- slow service, a little condescending when answering questions, and the thing that got me was the totally inappropriate and unprofessional, boarder line smutty chit-chat behind the counter they were having with each other at times... if I could hear it surely the rest of the small cafe could too - tsk tsk! I remember the place having such lovely staff in the past however

This is a lovely café, with good food…..it’s a real shame about the service.

Great location, great service and great food!

Went to Tradewind Espresso for breakfast on a cold winters day, what a lovely place, love the cafes interior, so chilled and feels warm and clean. Definitely a good place to catch up with friends, etc.

I had been looking forward to trying this cafe...If you are then DON'T! Tiny cups of coffee...not brilliant quality...my friend only had half a cup! Lots more really nice cafes in Whiteladies Road, try one of them...disappointing.. I cannot comment on the food...

A very busy coffee shop with good reason; the coffee is excellent and the food is delightful, although some meals seem expensive for their size.

Have become very fond of this place over last few years - coffee with/without a cake or two - by oneself or with friends - really brilliant - would undoubtedly get 5 stars but - they sometimes have an over friendly waitress who seems to want to get involved in all and every conversation - maybe due to a coffee overdose??. Possibly i am just being a grumpy old man!!

First time shopping In Bristol. Found this lovely coffee Shop and had an amazing Lunch. Will definitely be back.

Stumbled across this coffee house on a Saturday morning, it was a busy little coffee shop and independent, so my family and I decided to try it out, always looking to support local businesses. We were told to find a table as it was table service. We then continued to wait for 15 minutes and in fear of being forgot about, we kindly asked if we could order coffee, to which we were met by a abrupt and disgusting response from the waitress. We decided to leave after this abysmal customer service.

We went for coffee on Saturday 25/11 and was informed by the staff it was table service. Admittedly they were busy but we then sat waiting for 20 minutes. Feeling like we had been forgotten about, we politely asked the young blonde waitress we’d like to order some coffee. What we were met with was a disgustingly arrogant and vile attitude and ended up leaving without being served. We always try and support the independent coffee houses but this is one we will never return to. Avoid.

We visited on Thursday 23 Nov for lunch and coffee. The coffee was superb! Our flat white and cortado had excellent milk treatment and good flavour. Easy to find good coffee in Bristol, but you would go a long way to beat this. Also enjoyed the eggs royale and mushrooms on sourdough. Barista may have been called Lee - if so 'Well done, Sir'

Coffee way overpriced - no room for debate on this - it's a fact. The food was ok, I didn't expect much to be honest and was left feeling neither dissapointed or satisfied.

Ive been going to this place on and off for year now. I always thought it was a fail-safe cafe for coffee and cakes. But things have changed drastically. My friend and I ordered french toast because we had the same a while ago. This time the portions were tiny- we each had HALF A SLICE of french toast for £8 ! It was good but there was barely anything else on the plate. To make our afternoon worse, the waitresses were really rude and condescending. We were taken aback because we've never had that experience here. They looked annoyed to talk to us every time we asked them something. The standards have dropped as well- dirty glass bottles of water, dirty tables, dirty cups.

I’m disappointed to have to write a negative review for a local independent business but this place really has no excuse.

Nice atmosphere, good drinks. Service is okay, not the most welcoming. Quite expensive too. This place could be special and instead it’s pretty good.

Out exploring white ladies road. Popped in for a coffee and some cake . What a great find. Great welcome by our waitress, coffee was nice and strong with a great selection on cakes and food to choose from. The steady stream of people through the door prove how popular it is. Would I go again, yes.

I used to love this place - great coffee, fresh food and when it opened there was a Kiwi running it who brought charm and a smile to the day. He has now gone and a sour-faced manageress who seems to view customers as a nuisance and has recruited several grumpy staff in her image. The quality of the coffee is now variable - lattes may be luke warm, for example, but don't tell the staff if they are because it will be your fault. If they forget to bring something they will look suspiciously at you as if you didn't order it in the first place. Too defensive, too unfriendly, plenty of great options round here so go somewhere else instead. I used to come 3 or 4 times per week, but never again.

Wondered in for a nice coffee and catch-up with friends and ordered three coffees. One of which was an ALMOND latte. Emphasis on the almond just in case you missed that.

A great addition to Whiteladies Road. Really tasty food, from a slightly quirky menu. The Bhudda bowl, packed full of quinoa, roasted vegetables, crunchy roasted chickpeas and mixed leaves topped with seeds and a lovely dressing was utterly delicious. Excellent choice of fresh cakes, coffee and tea also, including fresh mint tea. Friendly service. Love this place.

Coffee was a little small but delicious.

Hipstery little cafe serving excellent coffee (good beans, cold brew etc) and a nice selection of teas for the less caffeine-fond amongst us. The food is simple yet very nicely made, with a wide selection, catering for veggies and vegans. Service was very attentive but not pestering. Prices more than reasonable, my only suggestion would be a little more bread with the avocado toast .

Quirky little cafe. Fantastic choice of food, smoothies & drinks. We had the French toast & mezze plate. Both delicious. Great smoothie menu. We loved the banana, yoghurt & bee pollen one. Yummy carrot cake too.

The cafe is looks very cool and the coffee is good. Service is strange... the staff are hostile. I visit frequently but only because I live close by. I hope they improve their customer service because it's otherwise a nice coffee shop.

This is round the corner from us, great coffee and selection of cakes/ brunch/ breakfast food for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. Nice for a coffee and cake catch up. Great for environment for a relaxed morning or afternoon.

I come in here whenever I am at the top end of Whiteladies Road because this is one of the best places to grab a coffee in Bristol. They do great flat whites and an awesome V60, they really care about the quality of their coffee and have good variety of beans as well.

Lovely brunch - we both had fresh OJ, then I had eggs royale and my wife had avocado pico de Gallo. We finished with cheese scone, crumble bar and cofffees. All very nice. Small criticism is that although we weren't close to the door, every time it opened the draft was uncomfortable. Not bad when it was 14 degrees outside but not sure how it would be if it was colder.

Always buzzing, health cakes and excellent fresh coffee. Problem is it is so popular you can often not find anywhere to sit - but that speaks to its high quality!

I took my Mum here when she visited Bristol a few weekends ago and we loved it. It was warm enough to take a seat out the back in their sheltered section. Mum had a granola bar (in her words a bit dry but still tasty) and an elderflower presse and I enjoyed a Chai Latte with a beauuuutiful almond cake with yoghurt on the side (which Mum happily dunked her granola bar into, cheers Ma) good value for money and friendly atmosphere.

I wouldn't recommend this cafe it's very expensive. You don't get very big coffees, it's not good value. £4.85 for a pot of tea and a minute coffee. Not going back .

It's my local coffee shop and I eat here at least twice a week. Consistently good cooking of brunches, coffee and cakes. I nearly always have a cappucino and a blackberry friand, both delicious! For brunch they do great poached eggs on sourdough with an extra side of bacon and fresh smoothies.

These guys are great, and really know their coffee. It's unsurprising that they supply some other coffee shops around Bristol, but do go direct to the source!

Went for coffee and café with friends. Were told there would be waitress service to take order. After long wait, wondered if we'd misheard so approached counter. Told to sit down but still had to wait longer. Drinks for some of the party arrived. V small coffees and not v hot. Drinks almost finished before cakes arrived. Had to remind them about a missing coffee. Shame because cakes were great and food other people were having looked lovely. Just checked the prices for food online and it looks expensive. The place has potential with sharper service and keener pricing.

Been here twice - coffee is always great. Wasn't hugely impressed with the food the first time but it was great on my most recent visit - maybe they were having an off day the first time or maybe they've upped their game. The place is pretty dinky and usually very busy - if you're unlucky you'll end up perched on an uncomfortable stool. I'll definitely give it a go again.

First visit, probably the last one too.

I love this little place. Great coffee, interesting menu & earthy decor. The only thing missing is sincere service. Twice now I've been totally ignored. Those customers who dare approach the counter get asked if they are having takeaway? If the answer is 'no', then you are told to sit down and they will come over. I pointed to a cake & asked what it was, only to be told they were listed in the menu if I sat down I would find out!

We popped into Tradewind Espresso after a cold and windswept dog walk across The Downs. We were made so welcome and even our dog was allowed in and a swift bowl of water provided for her whilst we chose our refreshments!

We visited on 03/12/16. Our third visit here, after previously experiencing some low level rudeness/attitude. God knows what we were thinking!

There are lots of trendy coffee places but this is way above many of the others. The tables are well laid out, the decor is cool but its the coffee and the food that make this. We came for coffee and cakes and had two excellent capuccinos, then decided to have the sausage and black pudding roll and the cheese scone. Both were excellent the sausage roll had real taste and texture and was wonderfully aromatic. The Cheese scone ( its a shame to describe like this) was wonderfully rich with spinach and hint of pepper. I couldnt get my partner to share even a morsel...it was that good.

Dropped in for a coffee this morning they were very friendly and the coffee was delicious. I could 100% recommend this place

Whilst the decor created a pleasant atmosphere it is not an excuse to overcharge customer and to provide rude service. 2.70 for a latte served in a glass that was too hot to hold was not a good experience. We will not be back

We were in Bristol, awake and looking for somewhere for breakfast at 9.30, so not early, but tricky to find somewhere good that didn't open at 10am. There was a free table, and it looked interesting. A long high table with chairs around for sharing or big group, and two' s and four's elsewhere.

We 'popped in' for coffee. Our visit served its purpose but I suspect I will not return unless someone else asks me to meet them at Tradewind.

Beautifully presented and delicious French Toast, served with poached pears, real honeycomb and edible flowers. Lovely chai latte but a bit pricey for such a tiny little glass. Service was very friendly. Nice little treat now and again, definitely will be back.

Very very poor value. Small tiny cafe latte £2.70. Really expensive cakes. Go over the road. I did no more to say. I give it 6months

Came in for breakfast and we were not disappointed!! Fantastic coffee with perfectly foamed milk, so good we had another straight away. I ordered the big breakfast for £9.50 and it was amazing!! Huge pot of delicious smokey home made baked beans, 4 slices of bacon and everything else. It was delicious and huge! Loved the different seating areas and the atmosphere.

I've been to Tradewind several times for their exceptional coffee, including the decaf, and always have cake for a treat. This time I thought I'd try to french toast with grilled pears and mascarpone and assummed at the high price of 8.50 that the plate would be a good size, which it disappointantly, was not. Quite a small piece of bread with two or three slices ofthe pear. Sorry, I know it takes time to cook the thing and do the pears etc, but with these basic ingredients and the time it take to throw together does not justify hiking the price so high. Other choices on the menu are also hiked in price. Unfortunately, these nice little places are becoming too close to London prices. Perhaps in their efforts to cover high Bristol rent costs.

We had two fine Capuchinos in this smart cafe on Whiteladies Rd. Table service (which is unusual) and great looking cakes. Interesting and busy venue.

I visited here for the first time to try and order a gluten free take away as a friend recommended it to me. The lady making coffee barely acknowledged me when I spoke to her and made no eye contact. The other lady working on the shop floor was clearly having a bad day and made me feel like I was in her way several times. So after being handed a menu and then made to feel in the way again as someone was paying and she didn't want to reach across, I decided to leave without ordering. Shame as a friend had told me the coffee and food is good at this venue. Shame about the reception I received.

Good to see that this business has bedded in well on the Whiteladies strip. Saturday midday and this place was buzzing with a good mix of customers. Only dropped in for a coffee and cake and the only seating was out the back in the open air which was perfect. Good coffee and ordered the peach and lavender cake which came with a small portion of thick yoghurt. It was a wonderful combination and well recommended.

Visited for brunch. Food was lovely, healthy alternative (although my 70 year old father was slightly unsure!) Was surprised, but perfectly happy, to see they accept well behaved dogs.

I've been loads of time and also buy beans from there. Consistently good. Usually have a long black or a double espresso. They always get a great extraction from their beans which means that the coffee has great flavour without being bitter.

Arrived bright and early on a Saturday morning to have a hearty breakfast treat at this Trendy venue. Staff are friendly, music is retro, ambiance is chilled. Nothing to match Tradewinds anywhere else on White ladies Road .
