Society Cafe opens second cafe in Bristol

By Martin Booth  Monday Sep 12, 2022

As the crow flies, Bristol’s second Society Cafe is precisely 376 metres away from Bristol’s first Society Cafe.

The newest cafe is where Baldwin Street joins the centre, in a corner building that was most recently Santander and those with longer memories will recall as being Alliance & Leicester.

Around 40 people can sit inside the deceptively spacious cafe, which has a bicycle hanging on one wall and window seats for perfect people-watching potential.

Bristol and Bath now both have two Society Cafes, with another in Oxford

As with the original Society on Farr’s Lane next to Pero’s Bridge, the house blend here is from Origin coffee roasters in Cornwall.

There are also more than a dozen different teas to choose from, four different hot chocolates, a selection of smoothies and pastries from Bath’s Bertinet Bakery.

The new cafe is open seven days a week
