My friend and I were looking for a new place to meet up for breakfast and found this amazing cafe. 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. read more

My friend and I went to breakfast at Expresso Cafe before I had gallbladder surgery with the intention of indulging. Expresso Cafe delivered! 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. read more

Met two fellow Yelpers here today for breakfast! The place is really cute inside, but careful not to miss it as you're driving by - no big sign, besides the doors and windows. There is a small lot that I missed seeing, so I parked around the corner on a side street. The decor is minimal and clean. My favorite thing was the cool ceiling. Service is very friendly. I ordered a mocha latte, and the frittata, adding avocado and American cheese. I chose a Portuguese roll for my bread choice (an extra 0.99 that I didn't know about until I saw the bill). My friends ordered an omelette with loaded fries and a yogurt/granola bowl. I thought the portions were perfect. I tried the loaded fries and they were so tasty. We hung out for a couple of hours and didn't feel rushed - perfect for a morning catching up with friends! Their lunch menu looks pretty good - I plan on checking it out sometime! read more

Will going back very soon to try more! read more

A few days ago I met a couple of friends at Expresso Cafe in Bristol for breakfast. This spot is brand new, they've only been open since September. The young owners, husband and wife duo, opened this breakfast spot in honor of the owner's dad. What a sweet tribute! Jessy the owner, was also our waitress, while her husband is the chef. As soon as I walked in the door, she greeted me, and showed me where my friends were sitting. She was so attentive around our table, our glasses of water were always filled. The space is spacious, with large windows, and minimal decor. I got a latte, and granola. There were a lot of other tasty options on the menu. One of my friends got the frittata, it looked so delicious! The other got scrabbled egg with toast and potatoes. I tried one of her potatoes, they were well seasoned and so tasty! My latte was so frothy, creamy and delicious! My granola was simple, but so fresh and tasty. It was a generous serving of vanilla yogurt, topped with granola, walnuts, grapes, pineapples, cantaloupe and honey. The prices are very reasonable here. I'm so glad to support a new restaurant, opened and owned by young locals! read more

Food was amazing! My sister in law and I walked there last Saturday morning early. We were told to choose our table so we sat in the corner of the windows. Perfect weather day. We started with coffee and tomato juice. We had the breakfast special for 7.99. She chose fried potatoes and I went with the standard home fries. They have loaded home fries with bacon ham and cheese. She's a pescatarian so it worked perfectly. I added sausage to my meal and we shared their stuffed French toast which was delicious! Service was great! Bill under 50. Money well spent! We both agreed we're going back. They have Mexican dinners so that's our next adventure. read more

Horrible service. I had to ask for water four times until the waitress brought it to the table. Then when she brought the food she walked away. Three minutes later I had to flag her down and ask if I may have some silverware. No apology she just dropped it off and walked away. A few minutes later as I was on the phone talking to. My insurance company she comes to the table and asked how is the food, I explained I'm on the phone and here is the killer "you should be talking to me and not being on your phone" Stay away from this joint. read more

I was thrilled to see that a new cute breakfast/lunch place opened up on Maple Street! The food is delicious and comforting. The service was fantastic. My server, Hope, was kind enough to recommend her favorite items from the menu. The prices are reasonable and I was able to bring home a lot of leftovers. I am so happy to see more locally owned small businesses opening up in Bristol! I will definitely be back. read more

Good and service is always excellent! I wish more people knew about this place. They have a diverse menu and the specials always look good.

The former Parkside Cafe was reopened by one of their regulars when they moved to North Main Street. The day we visited, they were clearly understaffed. They had one service person for the entire dining room on Saturday at 9:00 am. The chef was trying to help deliver plates too. I ordered a Combo #1. I wish they had smaller options like one egg, bacon and toast as this was way too much food for me. The sausage, hash browns and bacon were tasty. The ham was off and either bad or overcooked. The toast was burnt and cold. The bottom pancake of our stack was also burnt. The place itself had a fresh coat of paint but very sparsely decorated and where previous decor hung, not patched up very well. Breakfast for two ended up costing 36.00 with a tip. Out of fairness, the place is brand new and they have kinks to work out. The new Parkside Cafe that moved right down the street has better and more cost effective options. read more
