Hennesseys — Restaurant in Bristol

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like a European Getaway

If you're looking for a truly unique café experience, this hidden gem is an absolute must-visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality—not just from the owner, but from the regulars as well. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve been coming for years, even on your first visit.

The interior is a visual treat. A cool retro vibe meets urban skate culture, with skateboards adorning the walls and vintage touches that make the whole space feel effortlessly stylish and inviting.

Now, onto the food—wow. The baguettes were prepared with real craftsmanship and tasted just as amazing as they looked. Fresh, flavorful, and professionally done. While we didn’t try the cakes (it was a bit early for sweets), they looked absolutely divine in the display.

The iced lattes were the real showstopper. Served in a stylish jug with glasses on the side, you get to pour your own perfect amount—such a clever and fun concept that adds a little ritual to your coffee break. And did I mention the prices? Completely unbeatable for the quality and experience you’re getting.

This is not just any café. It’s a five-star experience that rivals boutique cafés in Europe. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and drop by. You’ll leave planning your next visit before you even finish your drink.

We paid £9.50 for our beverages and baguettes!!

Thank you Mike for the amazing...

In addition to my previous review, where I mentioned that Mike and Arlene were forever chasing after me with items I had left behind (mainly hand sanitizer but once, a "Get Well" card for my uncle who had had a fall and broken a few ribs), I have just read the review from a customer who said Mike ran up the road after them with their phone and charger. I appreciated Mike and Arlene's actions so much that one year I gave them a Christmas card and Arlene kindly gave me a card from herself and Mike. My friend was passing outside the cafe once and picked up some keys which had been dropped on the floor. He took them in and handed them to Mike, who gave him a free drink as the card machine was out of action. ...

Feels like the only place left on north street that hasn't been gentrified and feels genuine. The owner clearly loves what he does and doesn't stoop to playing the same game the other coffee places are doing. Amazing sandwiches with made fresh each morning with the best tiger bread baguettes, the portions are huge, the prices are cheap, the atmosphere is a genuine expression of the owner and not a sterile corporate design like the other coffee shops near by. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming including the customers. I hope this small business is protected and never leaves north street, if Hennesys ever shuts down then you know Bedminster is dead. Please...
