Every time I go past this place, a friendly young chap (sometimes there's a girl instead) catches my eye and offers me lots of very nice things like fresh soup of the day and other such free samples. The insinuation that I look like a bum aside, this was a brilliant ploy to lure me inside for a further look. Yes, I tried to play it cool and rinse them for their free food each morning, but eventually their sweet smiles get to to you and you feel like you really should go on a mini breakfast spree inside. Thus, I was treated to some of the finest porridge I've had the great fortune to taste - perfect for those winter mornings on the way to Temple Meads, and healthy, too. And that's exactly what this place specialises in - healthy, feel good food. You won't regret a trip here.

The porridge with fruit.

See all

Sonni's Food and Wine is considered to be a treasure by the locals. Everybody loves it. This has…read moremore to do with the family that run it, than the products they stock, which are these days not so unusual, but were relatively unique when they first started stocking them. Nevertheless, the fairtrade, and oganic goods, that used to be so rare at corner shops are indicative of the ethos that makes them so popular. This is a shop that possesses a strong sense of community that bends and bows to the needs of the customers. Run by gentle folk that are neither loud nor intrusive, the place has an antiquated feel, owing to the quiet unrushed way it goes about its business. Being so supportive of all things community, Sonni's is the place you go if you need to find out about the area. The window is crammed with houses and flats to rent and items for sale, along with adverts for all of the different classes and workshops in the area.

This friendly neighbourhood store is far more than just a corner shop. Expertly run by various…read morefamily members, it is not unusual to see three generations behind the till. The genius of Sonni's is that it has listened to what the community wants and supplied that demand exactly. Organic produce and dairy-free items sit comfortably alongside classic basics and there is a huge range of ciders, beers, wines and spirits on offer. Even if I am just passing, the bright array of cheerful pot plants for sale outside usually lures me in. From curry sauces, organic biscuits and fair trade teas to toiletries, pet food and delicious mezze items, it is rare Sonni's does not stock what you need or at least a useful alternative. If only every neighbourhood shop could be so well run. Sonni's makes buying local an absolute pleasure. And it is always open early until late.
