Boston Tea Party's Park Street original is where the Bristol-born cafe chain began, still doing all-day brunch on the slope it calls the BTP OG.
Order: The Boss breakfast with a bottomless filter
Tip: The chain famously banned single-use cups; bring a reusable or drink in, and expect a weekend queue for brunch.
The Crafty Egg cooks Stokes Croft's neighbourhood brunch, from pancakes with bacon to salmon bowls, in a walk-in-only room on Bristol's muralled mile.

The Bristolian is Montpelier's corner caff on Picton Street, an all-day Bristol breakfast room that swings from fry-ups to cocktails by late afternoon.
Order: The full all-day breakfast, meat or vegan
Tip: Card only and walk-in only; the pavement tables catch the morning sun before the Picton Street hill does.
Spicer+Cole runs four Bristol coffee-and-kitchen rooms; the Queen Square Avenue original pairs Extract-roasted coffee with super-fresh seasonal plates.

Tip: The Clifton Village and Finzels Reach branches keep the same kitchen standards if Queen Square is rammed.
East Village Cafe hides a plant-based counter under the arches of Boyces Avenue in Clifton Village, pouring Triple Co Roast coffee and rainbow lattes.
Order: Vegan toastie and a rainbow latte
Tip: It shares the arch with a gift shop and welcomes dogs; the courtyard outside is Clifton Village's calmest coffee spot.
Pinkmans bakes Bristol's cult sourdough doughnuts and focaccia across five cafes; the Stokes Croft unit keeps the croft in brunch bakes and toasties.
Order: Sourdough doughnut after a brunch focaccia
Tip: Branches at Whiteladies Road, Wapping Wharf, the Cathedral and Westbury-on-Trym bake the same doughnuts if Stokes Croft sells out.
