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.
Signature drink: House coffee with an all-day breakfast
Tip: Card only and walk-in only; the pavement tables catch the morning sun before the Picton Street hill does.
Dareshack folds a speciality coffee bar into a 4,000 square foot studio and gallery on Wine Street, giving central Bristol its arts-crowd living room.

Tip: Check the events diary: the room flips from laptop cafe to gigs and launches, and daytime seats vanish on show days.
Little Victories is the Small Street Espresso team's harbourside bar at Wapping Wharf, Bristol, pouring espresso, cakes and toasties beside Cargo's cranes.

Tip: It keeps weekend hours its Old City sibling does not, which makes it the Saturday home for Bristol coffee people.
Mud Dock has stacked a cafe above a bike shop on Bristol's harbourside for over 30 years, serving brunch and harbour views from its top-floor terrace.

Full Court Press rotates a weekly-changing line-up of small-lot coffees through its Broad Street bar, Bristol's most studious cup of filter since 2014.

Tip: The menu changes weekly and the roastery coffee bar on Oxford Street pours weekday mornings if Broad Street is full.
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.
