    This is one of my comfort places to get a bomb chicken sandwich for lunch!! Friendly staff, nice music, and just overall good vibes! Definitely recommend getting the grilled chicken sandwich with the DELICIOUS house greens (man oh man their dressing is BOMB)!!! But you GOTTA use the Rhed's hot sauce Morita for optimal taste!!!!

    I stopped in for a hot tea and pastry this afternoon for the first time with a friend. Everything was great from start to finish; what a cute place! They had a nice selection of treats, and I especially enjoyed the ginger scone. The London Fog latte was perfectly made and came out piping hot. What a perfect place to get together with friends or stop in for a pastry to bring home. Five stars for sure!

    Online menu showing a full grilled cheese served.

    We walked in, ordered, and were already questioning why a BLT costs $15. My boyfriend ordered the BLT, and I ordered a grilled cheese with tomato soup (which I had checked on the online menu beforehand). We ate upstairs, even though it took about 20 minutes just to find a seat because the restaurant was completely unorganized--people were literally fighting over tables. When our food finally came out, I was given only half of a grilled cheese sandwich. We assumed it was a mistake and asked an employee, who told us, "Yeah, you only get one half and a full soup." There was absolutely no disclosure anywhere that you only get half a sandwich, and the photo on the online menu clearly shows a full grilled cheese. I've also been here before and received a full grilled cheese sandwich with soup, so this was especially confusing and frustrating. Paying almost $40 for this experience was really disappointing. Safe to say we won't be coming back. I honestly wish we could get our money back.

    One of my favorite food places in the whole wide world. I always get a grilled cheese with avocado and a side of BOTH greens and chickpeas. I could never pick between the two of them they are both way too good. They have so many breakfast/lunch options, pastries, iced coffees, teas, smoothies seriously everything and anything you can think of. Every single thing I have gotten from here has tasted amazing and I truly have never been disappointed. When you order your food you get a cute little animal figurine to bring with you to your table and then they magically come find you and bring you your yummy food. The only downfall of this place is the seating arrangement- the upstairs has a lot of small tables closely seated next to each other and very limited seating on their outdoor rooftop- there are a few tables outside though which I find the seating to be more comfortable there.

    This place was great! Walking in with the little beehive light, and the little symbols/assets around the spot is so cute. Tasty menu options, great sized sandwiches and I was truly happy with everything I got- super filling. I wish I got a drink but thats for another time. Picked up an order menu with a friend so there wasn't much conversation with the staff, but they were all smiles!

    (9/1/25) it was very busy due to Labor Day, but the line moved pretty fast and we got our food relatively fast. The staff was friendly. It's a small cafe so we got our food to go and sat by the water. I got hashbrowns and the French toast. They had forgotten to give me my cookie so I had to go back for it. The hash browns were a very small portion, and tasted very bland. The French toast was okay, probably won't be going again.

    Hidden gem of Bristol! Tucked on a side street this cozy cafe awaits. Plenty of parking nearby. Loved our flavorful fresh brewed coffee and tasty breakfast bites. Cozy atmosphere upstairs too! Come summertime there appear to be plenty of outdoor seating options as well. Great service!!!

    Single handedly my favorite breakfast spot and it's served until close. So many local options. So so so delicious. They also serve lunch. Sidewalk, indoor and roof seating for small tables. Free street parking and 2 hour parking along the water. Seriously must try at least we nice

    The upstairs works for our larger family group. Good drinks and food. Would be my fourth choice in the area, but still OK for a coffee.

    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!

The menu is a dream for coffee lovers, featuring everything from cold brew to a unique "cold brew espresso." While the nitro espresso was a bit lighter and less intense than I expected, it was a smooth, and paired well with my latte. The real highlights were the specialty lattes; the Vermonter was delicious, and the Fluffernutter latte was a creative, standout treat. I also loved the seasonal collaboration they had for Mother's Day, where a small floral pop-up was set up right inside the shop. It was so convenient to grab a beautiful bouquet and a great coffee all in one stop. I really enjoyed the vibe here and will definitely be back to work my way through the rest of their specialty latte menu!
