The booths are a purple leather American diner vibe. The menu is absolutely huge. You order at the counter and it is delivered to you. It feels like a dark modern day establishment with their black and purple color scheme but with neons behind the counter. The pricing is fair and the service is good. And what you get for it is presented beautifully. I've never been anywhere like it before! Definitely a fun spot.

Some of our guests were vegan and or gluten free and Ahh Toots was happily able to accommodate all those restrictions.

Ahh Toots wanted to match our flowers for our wedding on the cakes and they did so beautifully. Ahh Toots creates beautiful cakes that fresh and delicious and easy to work with! Highly recommend!

I have been looking forward to trying the gelato here for ages and all I can say is WOW!…read more The gelato and the ever-changing choice of flavours are, in my opinion all equally immense. The texture is deliciously smooth and creamy, with the flavours being suitably both devilishly rich and indulgent (dark chocolate) or slightly more refined and smooth (tiramisu). On my first visit I plumped for having tiramisu flavour gelato in a brioche bun - who can say no to brioche and gelato, with cream (of course)? This combination of the rich and creamy gelato in a soft and sweet bread bun is to die for. This was accompanied by a double espresso, made with the superbly deep and rich tasting coffee from Extract Coffee company. On my second visit I plumped for a two-scoop cone and chose dark chocolate and tiramisu flavours - amazing! The gelato sold here earns the description artisan and is handmade on site everyday by a family that has over 100 years of gelato making experience using both locally and where required, internationally sourced ingredients for the best flavour. It may not be the cheapest in town but you definitely get what you pay for - heaven in a tub/cone/brioche/ on a stick (you get the idea)!

A fairly new venture near Clifton down shopping centre, Super Sweet is a traditional pick'n'mix…read moreshop, only dedicated to sweets - when was the last time you saw one of them? There's something slightly odd about the mix of old style in a modern setting, but it's not a bad thing at all. 79p for 100g of pick'n'mix sounds like a damn good deal to me. They must be doing a roaring trade with local school kids, students, and embarrassed looking grown ups coming in for a treat. From standard coke bottles to liquorice alsorts, there's a really good mix of sweets, along with a wall of chocolate bars and comedy sweet shop items. I'm just a massive fan of the idea, let alone the sweets.

The small (but sweet - hah hah!) shop is jammed packed with sugary goods from M&Ms to Jelly Beans. You won't find many golden oldies here, and it's not like a ye olde sweetie shop from days gone by but it will give you a much needed sugar rush if you're feeling under the weather.

Just make sure you get yourself down to the waterfront, next to the Arnolfini and slightly closer to the bridge and you'll find a beautiful little ice cream shop; no ice lollies or annoying music here. They just do rich, tasty ice cream made from locally sourced West Country ingredients. It really is prefect ice cream and they aren't stingy with the potions. I just had a mint choc chip and clotted cream vanilla combo, piled high and then melting all down my hand and t-shirt. Totally worth it though. It's a great little spot to wander to after lunch; you get to be by the river and in the sun, watching the boats go by. The staff serving us were lovely and jolly, would you want your ice cream sold to you any other way!? I ask you.

Flavalanche? More like flavafail…read more I was highly anticipating taking my American friends to what I thought would be a high point of their visit to Bristol - a truly wonderful city in the main. However, my expectations were immediately lowered when I observed the far from endearing exterior of the shop. I thought the situation could have been rectified by the novelty of the product inside, however, this was far from the case due to just 2 from 4 machines having any fro-yo in them. Nonetheless, my disenchantment only increased when I found out that 2 of the 4 remaining fro-yo flavors were melted - how did this place pass a food inspection?! One of the two flavors was coffee, so if you aren't a coffee-lover like me, you were only left with the one - original. Now, onto the toppings. The choices were limited and I was not impressed by the lack of fresh fruit. The interior decor of the shop made it uninviting. It was dark and dingy and the worker was not there to greet us as we walked in. I would have hoped for more hospitality. The worker sat on her phone while we attempted to serve our runny, melted yogurt and did not offer to help or even apologize for the ruined product. Just like an avalanche, this was an utter disaster.

From the owner: Flavalanche offers some of the UK's best frozen yogurt, bubble tea and smoothies…read more Our frozen yogurt has it all -calcium, protein, and live active cultures that are good for your body. And unlike other desserts containing artificial ingredients or excessive calories and carbs from fat and sugar, Flavalanche frozen yogurt is all-natural and gluten-free. All our flavas are low fat or fat free, and some are sweetened with Stevia, which means they're low sugar too. We have 8 flavours on at any one time, customers grab a tub, pour as much yogurt as they like and then load up with toppings from our 40+ selection. We also make a huge selection of bubble tea, with a green tea or black assam tea base, our teas are rich in antioxidants and infused with natural fruit flavourings. Poured over tapioca pearls, pobbles or fruit jelly, these delicious and refreshing drinks are gulpable through an extra fat straw! Welcome to Flavalanche - An avalanche of flavour, choice and wellbeing.

Now this is what I call Brunch!…read more One of my besties and fellow Elite, Alice C, has been banging on about Bakers & Co for a while. So with a day off me and my girl decided to go check it out. From the outside Bakers & Co looks lovely. It has white walls with a yellow parasol and big yellow branding. With a couple of tables and chairs outside it looks really nice! Inside it gets better. Your instantly greeted by a counter of beautiful cakes an pastries and five or six staff cooking food in the open kitchen. It's really surprising how far back the seating goes. They have done a great job with the little space the have. The decor inside is much the same as outside; nice white walls with yellow and wicker furnishings. On to the food: The menu is pretty small but everything looks and sounds great. It's not your normal breakfast/brunch menu. I wanted everything on it, but We both went for the seared steak with potatoes cheese bake and poached eggs. It was absolutely amazing! The potatoes was different to what I expected, but probably better. I had a lemon grass and goner tea while Soph had a fresh orange juice. Both were great, nothing out of the ordinary, just very good! Definitely a contender for the best breakfast in Bristol. Considering they recently opened, the lack of free tables shows that a lot of people like it as much as we did! Great job, guys!

We quickly grabbed the last table in the place (it was heaving, but that's to be expected on Saturday lunchtime). It's got a lovely warm lively atmosphere -and I must say super friendly staff. We both went for the beetroot and pumpkin seed cake and a well-deserved cup of coffee, like mother like daughter. The coffee was delightful, good fruity proper coffee. Just what we needed after our shopping ordeal. The beetroot cake was utterly divine, lightly spiced and filled with scrummy orange cream cheese, with little crunchy pumpkin seed surprises all the way through. In the words of my dear sweet mother it was "f****ng amazeballs"! Love it. Keep up the good work guys!

Ever since my Grandad gave me my first Werther's Original (I hope this is a real memory, and not an…read moreadvert-induced hallucination) I have had a sweet tooth. Though I've tried to expand my culinary repertoire with vegetables, pulses and fresh fish all I crave is a cup of tea and a biscuit. Which is why Sblended ticks all my boxes. Found at the top of Cabot Circus this milkshake parlour often has gangs of teenagers outside looking all young and intimidating, you know - like they do. But inside there's treats for kids of all ages. The format is simple - pick a flavour (personally, Oreo) and a topping and Bob's your uncle, your fantasy milkshake awaits you. Not the best drink you'll have but a tasty sugar rush if you're lagging while shopping.

Right, I am of two minds about this place, and personally I keep my loyalty to Shakeaway to fulfil…read moremy milkshake cravings! It seems that ever since Shakeaway started to do really well as pretty much the only decent milkshake bar loads of other similar types such as Sblended started popping up around the place which are pretty much identical! Sblended is somewhere that offers a large variety of different milkshakes, you basically can choose between any sweet snack you fancy (from skittles to chocolate fudge cake) and they mix this with ice cream and milk to create you a personal shake! I think it's a brilliant idea, and they do taste amazing (I would always recommend the oreo cookie one!), but because I was such a loyal customer to Shakeaway (haha) I always go here instead... The one thing I would say about these places however is that they are overpriced, they charge around £2.50 for a standard sized milkshake which is pretty hefty! They do offer loyalty cards though if you are a fan, and also a student discount of %10 which is worth having. Overall I love my milkshakes and love the variety of these places so I would recommend Sblended to thirsty shoppers especially in the summer months!
