Your Bristol favourites: Breakfast
This month, Bristol24/7 readers have been coming up with their favourite places for breakfast. In alphabetical order, here are 10 of the best:
Brew
5 Whiteladies Road, BS8 2LS
“Absolutely my favourite. Delicious food, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. They even make my coffee macchiato perfectly, despite of not having it on the menu. They will soon need a bigger space.”

Bill’s
69 Queens Road, BS8 1QL
“Whenever I’m craving breakfast, I head straight to Bill’s for their cosy vibe and gorgeous food. If I could, I’d eat three whole courses – starting with organic yogurt, granola and berries, spicing things up a touch with their chilli avocado on toast before finishing with syrupy buttermilk pancakes. Delicious.”
Keri Hudson
Boston Tea Party
75 Park Street, BS1 5PF
“Just five minutes from my flat this Boston Tea Party is an absolute saviour! After a big night out or an all-nighter of essay hell I can always count on a quality breakfast under a tenner in their garden plus a slice of their coconut and lime cake to go.”
Amy Stewart
Brunel’s Buttery
Museum Street, BS1
“Always packed with people and what seems to be a never-ending queue especially at the weekend, this is the perfect place for an absolutely delicious breakfast which is always 100 per cent worth the wait. It has cemented its place in Bristol’s history as one of – if not Bristol’s best place – for breakfast!”
Fiona Burgess
The Crafty Egg
113 Stokes Croft, BS1 3RW
“I’m a firm believer that if the coffee is great, then the food will follow suite – and TCE doesn’t disappoint. Eggs are the star of the menu – and crafty they are. Be it in a stack of pancakes, baked with kale, or my personal favourite – poached with hummus. Great food, excellent coffee, and a wonderful Scandi-vintage vibe.”
Abbie Robinson
Monte Carlo Cafe
458 Stapleton Road, BS5 6PA
“If you’re looking for a proper English breakfast, head to Easton’s Monte Carlo cafe on Stapleton road. The family-run cafe serves up quality food for greasy spoon prices: a fiver will get you a hearty plate of meaty or veggie goodness. With generous portions and friendly service, this is a proper community cafe with owners that take a pride in the food they serve.”
Hannah Vickers
Poco
45 Jamaica Street, BS2 8JP
“I know it’s won awards and things so you probably don’t need me to tell you this, but the brunch menu is excellent and all the food is superlatively tasty. It’s also a brilliant spot for people watching and has a super friendly resident Big Issue seller, Jeff.”
Jenny Norris
Primrose Cafe
1 Clifton Arcade, BS8 4AA
“This cafe has become a Bristol institution, and rightfully so. The food is excellent, the staff friendly, and it’s located in one of the loveliest spots in the city. And while their lunch and dinner menus are equally revered, it’s their breakfast offerings that have won my heart (and stomach).”
Matt Loughlin
Souk Kitchen
277 North Street, BS3 1JP
“For the ultimate in lazy Saturday mornings, there’s no other place than Souk Kitchen. Bag a spot in the window for perfect people watching and tuck into a shakshuka – baked eggs nestled in a sauce so packed with tomatoes and veg it’s like health in a bowl.”
Elise Montana
Stock Exchange Bakery
34 St Nicholas Street, BS1 1TG
“Me and my girlfriend love going out for breakfast, and we are always debating between The Boston Tea Part on Park Street and Stock Exchange Bakery. These are our top places for breakfast. Great coffee and food on both.”
