Pinkmans bakes Bristol's cult sourdough doughnuts and focaccia across five cafes; the Stokes Croft unit keeps the croft in brunch bakes and toasties.
Tip: Branches at Whiteladies Road, Wapping Wharf, the Cathedral and Westbury-on-Trym bake the same doughnuts if Stokes Croft sells out.
Small Street Espresso has poured Bristol's benchmark flat whites in a slim Old City room since 2012, rotating guest roasters past its house Clifton beans.

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.

Tip: The chain famously banned single-use cups; bring a reusable or drink in, and expect a weekend queue for brunch.
Cafe Kino is Stokes Croft's worker-owned vegan co-op, feeding Bristol burgers, fry-ups and coffee in a room that doubles as a community events space.
Signature drink: Oat flat white with a vegan fry-up
Tip: Everything on the menu is vegan including the big breakfast; evening events sometimes take over the basement.
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.
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.
