Little Victories — Restaurant in Bristol

I am editing my review to reflect to reflect my latest experience here. I leave below my previous review, in which I gave the place 5 stars.

I have re-visited Little Victories and it was very unlike what I found a year ago. The coffee was mediocre at best, and the cake they had was stale. The last time I came here, the coffee I had was one of the best I had ever tried, so it's a real shame to see the decline in quality.

One thing, however, has stayed the same: The staff here is rude. They aren't friendly, they mumble, and they rush you to make a decision. They seem to lack any knowledge at all about the shop they're running, because they were not able to answer any questions about the coffee options they had. Most specialty coffee shops are staffed by people that like coffee and like talking about it, but Little Victories is run more akin a Costa: place your order and leave with as few questions as possible.

The service I've received has put me off returning anytime soon.

I visited this coffee shop recently and I had what I think is the best coffee I've ever tried. The have a house espresso, which is a more traditional espresso blend, but also a guest coffee, which changes occasionally. I had the guest coffee and it was so sweet, it was more like a cup of grape juice than coffee! It was unbelievably good, unlike any other coffee I've ever tried! I strongly recommend you try it if you like coffee.

As for the rest, the space is nice. There are only a few tables, but they are well spaced out and the interior is well lit. They have some good cakes, although the portion sizes are small. The staff weren't very friendly and seemed like they were rushing customers to...

I went here with my girlfriend because the menu looked aesthetically pleasing from outside, like it was calling us to enter. We ordered hot chocolates since it was 'hot choco weather'. The coffee shop itself had a really wonderful aesthetic, but there were extremely tall scary chairs that made it difficult to sit down as I was afraid I would fall over and smush the people sitting behind me. When the beverages arrived, the vessel in which they were presented was a glass cup, no handle, all cup; which I believe is surprising for a hot drink as you would expect it to burn your flesh, however the drink was a reasonable temperature, enough to warm you in the cold weather and also keep your hands warm, which was very considerate. The presentation was very Instagram worthy, so credits to their hot chocolate designers. However, I have no idea what they put in that delicious cup of cocoa, but shortly after, I became an emotional wreck and burst into tears, yes, actual tears. I would like to say thank you to this coffee shop for making me...

Stopped for a light bite after cycling in from Nailsea towing my 3-year old in a trailer. Service was just what I like to see: polite and cheery with a sense of humour! Coffee: They are using Clifton Coffee Roasters at the moment and are clearly well practised at producing a great result. Food: Cheese and chutney toasty - good size, well executed and very tasty. Cakes: OMG - cakes!!! I burn a lot of calories towing my son around so please excuse my enthusiasm... The banana bread - scrumptious. The Lemon and pistachio slice - nice and light. The pecan pie - delectable. But the salted caramel brownie... best I've ever had - so soft and moist. Would have scored a six if it had a little double cream to temper the sweetness! All in all, a real gem if you are looking for something light and very decent pricing too. Keep up the great work guys - wish I'd left a bigger tip -...
