Both of our drinks ended in disappointment. I couldn't taste the maple come through and the drink wasn't sweet which is fine but since it was a maple latte I expected at least a subtle hint. I couldn't taste the maple notes come through or anything other than the espresso and milk. Normally I wouldn't mind but I honestly didn't care for the espresso much either. My drink was pretty milky and not very coffee tasting. Pretty solid prices for their coffee however and that was probably the one plus of going. Parking and the way the line works is another issue and it's confusing but you just have to go with the flow.

Borealis has been a regular stop for me for years now, and I'm overdue writing a review. The…read moreBristol location is the newest and is tucked into a converted mill building on Wood Street. Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

The vibes were great, there was plenty of room for our party (we had 7 of us), and it didn't feel crowded at all despite the number of people that were in the coffee shop. I think that the only downside that I would say for our experience is that the drinks at the bar took FAR too long, although they were good! We came here in the evening, but I would definitely love to pop in at some point during the day because I do think that this would be a wonderful little study spot!

A $4 breakfast sandwich what is not to love?? Yes I did upgrade the egg and cheese bolo with exxxtra bacon and avocado because I have taste and so does PINK BEAN. The Portuguese Kid -- not a very great comedy group (sorry to the fans) but it is a very great breakfast sandwich. The first day I had a warm and buttered muffin that was great as well. When in Rome do as the Romans so I of course got the fluffanutter cold brew which was really yummy but I would not order every day. The regular cold brew that I had the day after would be my go-to if I ever did live in the area again! My very sad niece raved about the peanut butter cold brew too, though later admitted to never have actually tried it herself.

Theres no servers to speak of, its up to you to grab napkins or straws near the front station. Upon leaving Sabrina made sure to invite us back again. All in all, food was good and reasonably priced. Our bill came up to around $25 before tip. We're looking forward to returning and try some other foods they offer.

The service was so incredibly friendly, and you can tell that they really care about the company. They were talking about other stores being opened and the popularity of certain drinks in order to help me pick what I wanted to have. I ended up having an eggnog hot latte, which was perfect. I asked for no sweetener, and it was just right. They were all out of cookies, which was disappointing. I really wanted to try one of the specials. However, perhaps because of the location, there were so many cool Portuguese infusions in the menu. I ended up having a breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese bolo, and there were Portuguese custard cups in the pastry case as well. All in all, I would absolutely come back.

It's a small space, especially now that it has to compete for room with Chomp next door; so it's pretty lively. You enter the cafe through the porch, which is screened in in winter for year-round dining. Once inside, you place your order and sit either on the porch or at some tables near the parking lot. The lot is made of seashells and is on the water so the ambiance is actually very nice. They'll call you when your drinks are ready so you can add cream or sugar yourself, but they usually bring food out to you. First of all, their chai is amazing. So good. They have different flavors; I'm a big fan of the vanilla chai. My dad LOVES their cappuccinos. I've had bit sweet and savory crepes here, and they're all great. They have some you can order on the menu but there is a big make-your-own menu with a whole slew of options. Usually I get the Brie, fruit, and honey crepe, it's so light, sweet; and summery!

It was the perfect little outing and pick me up on a gloomy Sunday-full-of-scaries. The spring specials all sounded amazing. Because I got there close to closing, no food or espresso was available (totally fair), but I was still able to order the "Ellie" (basically my name so meant to beeee!) Fruity Pebbles Matcha. It was not only extremely photogenic but also tasty - fruity cold foam, not too bitey of a matcha taste, and eco-friendly with the sipping lid instead of a straw. I also got the raspberry shortbread bar to try out the sweeys, but somehow have restrained myself and not tried it yet. Will report back. It's so bright, airy, and girly in here - I can't wait to come back to try more things and maybe hang out a bit or bring a book. There's decent street parking being on Main Street, but I imagine it gets quite hard to find on a weekend - we'll find out next time!
