We were told about the patio out back, which, OMG, it sits on the River, completely private with such a nice sized space. I chose dark roast beans and coffee to drink and also brought home a classic mug. It remained busy because it's such a great coffee bean!!! And there was a mix of guests who stayed and sat on their computer, visited with friends, and enjoyed this delightful spot. A MUST TRY FOR COFFEE LOVERS! you will love it! Thanks Cafe Real for being a part of the Bristol Community

My friend and I were looking for a new place to meet up for breakfast and found this amazing cafe…read more The place was surprisedly larger in the inside than it looked from the outside. I was a but worried because the small lot in back of the building was already filling up and the free street parking in front was also limited. I did find parking on a side street near the cafe so that was good. Our server was so nice and attentive. Even offering recommendations when we were clearly undeceive about what we wanted. Food was delicious and filling. Also, gotta love when your server checks in and makes sure your cup of coffee is always full. We had a great experience and never felt rushed to leave even though it was a busy weekend morning. Definitely, adding to our list of places to ho back too for breakfast/brunch.

The cafe itself feels like many of the other no-nonsense breakfast places locally--clean, but nothing fancy in decor. However, they offered fabulous customer service and great food. I ordered the friend ice cream waffle and it was the perfect treat. My friend had an omelet with home fries and also raved about her selection. The best part? All this good food was very reasonably priced. I have a feeling this will become one of our regular stops in the future.

Their bakery is amazing -with wonderful looking breads, rolls, pastries, cupcakes, pies, Danish, cookies, donuts and specialized goodies in every shape, color, and description under the sun. Today, we picked up a gorgeous loaf of marble rye bread, six of their famous handmade donuts, and three Danish. I had a glazed donut this afternoon and it was light, sweet and pretty much fantastic. Can't wait to check out the rest of our purchase.

SERVICE: Our server who was wearing a Hartford Whalers hat? was a bit standoffish at first but loosened up a bit once more conversation about the facility took place. AMBIANCE: A little difficult to find with poor signage. Small interior with chairs and a couch set-up in front of the gas fireplace. Live music was being set-up. Would only stop back by if in the neighborhood.

They have so many different seating areas to choose from. The owners & staff are all super nice and welcoming! I love how they support local and host local CT artists work each month.

They have such a cool variety of beers that I'm sure even the pickiest beer drinker would find something to their liking! Seltzers are awesome too! The New Cambridge Project is just getting started! I can't wait to see how they grow throughout their first year but right now they are absolutely killing it! I'm a fan! Will be back for sure!!
