Boston Tea Party Park Street ★ 4.0
Park Street · 75 Park Street, Bristol BS1 5PF
Hours: Mon-Sat 08:30-16:00; Sun 09:00-16:00
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.

The Bristolian ★ 4.0
Montpelier · 2 Picton Street, Montpelier, Bristol BS6 5QA
Hours: Daily 08:00-17:00
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.

Mud Dock Cafe ★ 4.0
Harbourside · 40 The Grove, Bristol BS1 4RB
Hours: Daily breakfast to lunch; Thu-Sat dinner to 22:00
Mud Dock has stacked a cafe above a bike shop on Bristol's harbourside since 1994, serving brunch and harbour views from its top-floor terrace.

Clifton Village · Arch House, Boyces Avenue, Clifton Village, Bristol BS8 4AA
Hours: Sun-Fri 09:30-16:30; Sat 09:30-17:00
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.
