Caffe Arabica - Bristol, City of

The coffee at this restaurant was top-notch, clearly made with carefully selected beans for a well-rounded flavor and beautifully presented. We also tried the lunch specials, which were imaginative and delicious. Additionally, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our family group, even rearranging tables to make us feel welcome with a small baby. I highly recommend this place.

Popped in for an unplanned lunch followed by coffee and cake. Service, atmosphere and food was all top quality. We will definitely be back.

My husband tried to open the door to the toilet which appeared to be very stiff. After a while the waitress came out of the toilet looking very angry. She had given no indication that she was in there. My husband was very apologetic. When we went to leave the cafe the same waitress was waiting for him, arms crossed and proceeded to very aggressively tell him that the loo was for everyone. We have used this cafe many times but will not be going there again. This rude waitress needs to be told to remember who the customers are.

We were welcomed into this lovely, local independent café by the proprietor. The first time we’ve been back since the pandemic. All was well, the same tasty, varied menu, clean tables, and good service. I had the chicken casserole with vegetables. There were peppers, tomatoes, a bit of spice and a cheese topping. Served with salad and coleslaw. My husband and son sampled the Arabica Royale, perfect poached eggs on top of vegetables and bacon, served on a bagel and topped with hollandaise. They couldn’t resist the red velvet cake. A local gem

I chose lentil soup at lunch time and was told it comes with a roll. In fact it came with a savoury scone which had been over-microwaved, part of it being inedible. The soup was ok, but unremarkable.
