There are some fantastic seats upstairs which overlook the street so you can sip at your best Italian Roast and watch the world go by. Their cakes and other delights are also really great but do watch out at lunchtime as it gets really busy. It's never going to be the best coffee and lunch place in the world but you could definitely do a lot worse than Woodes Cafe.

Bustling two-storey coffee house on Park Street that makes some serious whoop-ass coffee. Best…read moreseats in the house are upstairs at the window or street level window (inside and out), but they will be full if it is anywhere near lunchtime. Upstairs seating (big booths) is more spacious and relaxed then down if you plan to loiter. And whilst you are loitering, definitely have a piece of their brownie. Sticky and delicious. Their Millionaire Shortbread is pretty good too. Staff cheerfully manage the queues of people staying in and taking away so I have never waited long.

It is hard to recommend café Gusto over the plethora of superior coffee houses/lunch establishemts…read more The reasons are numerous: a.) The tables were coated in a seal of what can only be described as a horrific mix of bacon fat and sand. b.) The sandwiches are far too expensive. A plain old ham sandwich for 2.40! really? c.) The general quality of the food is lacking, particularly with regards to freshness. d.) The staff are robotic and charmless. I would suggest going to a different locally run establishment, or even a better quality chain like prêt a manger. Actually, you might as well make your own lunch.

I always love a good coffee, a double espresso is my usual pick me up, and Caffe Gusto's coffee…read morebeans are always a delight on the taste buds. I also have an unfortunate weakness for paninis; these are delicious too! This Caffe Gusto is on the main drag up St Mike's hill, just around the corner form the university library, sports and science buildings, so is best avoided at lunchtime when the students pile in in their droves. Instead, come chill out on a sunny morning and watch Bristol go by.

This newly opened cafe has put a fashionable spin on the predominantly 'old school' establishments…read morethat line Bedminster Parade. With its flashy aesthetic and sprawling presence, it is the antithesis of neighbouring old man pubs such as The White Hart. Sporting a spacious rustic interior, equipped with a wooden floor, an array of comfortably spread out coffee tables and side sofas, customers will find themselves spoilt for choice in the seating department. The food menu is also wide ranging, boasting everything from cake (and lots of it) to baguettes to main meals. Teas, coffees and a multitude of soft drinks can also be purchased here. In the evening, the bar comes alive and the place takes on a European style drinking vibe. So if you find yourself in the area, and don't fancy supping ale in an old man's pub, try Grounded for a more...grounding experience.

Not a bad place, coffee is good and the food is fine…read more It's a pity that there is only a couple of seats outside the shop and it must be north facing because the sun is never covering the front of the shop where the seats are that well.

This splendidly traditional coffee and sandwich shop is a real haven in the most grotty stretch of…read moreBroadmead shops. With its dark woody interior, pretty tables and chairs, mirrors, pictures and classic tea trays, it would be very at home on an old postcard. It can get quite packed during the lunch rush hour, of course, but there's plenty of room and lots of seating throughout and some outside on the pavement. Hot jacket potatoes with lots of different fillings, great sandwiches, cakes, fruit; it's all spread out for you to choose from - you fill your tray and then take it up to the counter and pay, so it's actually quite a quick and efficient process. You don't really have to do any ordering at all, and there's none of that frustrating nonsense you get in chain coffee shops where you have to repeart your order to a different person taking the money. I'd say it's not the best place for a quiet, peaceful coffee break on your own or for a catch-up with a friend, because it's quite busy and loud. It's more the sort of place you'd come to have a quick bite and a sit down during a shopping day in Broadmead. There are quite a lot of young kids and babies in here as it's very family-friendly and there's space for buggies. Just be prepared for a quick lunch in a comfortable cafe without lingering, and you won't be disappointed.

Ridiculous! Now of course they cannot allow this but when they did I would of only given this place 1 or 2 stars. The smoking ban has saved it's bacon and made it a nice place to be.

It's pretty expensive for what it is and don't expect outstanding food or service to make up for that fact. You can expect to find the same range of coffees, drinks and sandwiches as at pretty much any other café in the area, but it does have a decent outdoor area at the back, which makes it a good place to head when the weather is a bit warmer. The one thing that does make the Adventure Café stand out, however, is the staff. It's not so much about the service, as the eye-candy. It's a little like walking into a branch of Abercrombie & Fitch - you're unlikely find anyone working here who's less than an 8 out of 10. It's true, I swear.
