The Pasty Emporium — Restaurant in Bristol

This place is AMAZING!! Their pasties are sublime, and reasonably priced too. They are made in Cornwall, as any proper pasty should be, and then shipped to Bristol where they are cooked and sold. But The Pasty Emporium is about more than just pasties, for in the mornings they also do bacon sandwiches. And let me tell you, they are amongst the finest bacon sandwiches I have had from a cafe anywhere. Packed full of crispy bacon, on delicious white bread, and for two sandwiches (four rounds of bread) and a cup of tea, you'll part with the very reasonable sum of just £5.40. Those two sandwiches will keep you going all day until teatime.

The owner is clearly a jazz fan, for the walls of this café feature formal portraits of some of the jazz greats of the last century. And jazz is always playing on the radio here. For a Bluesman like myself, this is the icing on a very fine cake indeed.

Highly recommended, I cant find enough superlatives to fully describe my love...

At what point does a vegan sausage roll cease to be a food product, and becomes actual poetry? This was the question I asked myself this afternoon when tucking in to my surprisingly affordable snack. The delicasy of the pastry had evoked a kind of humbling awe in me, it's fragile beauty overwhelming me in the same way that Michaelango's Pietà had when I saw it in the Vatican. And then the filling conjured a kind of deep magic on my tastebuds, layer after layer of flavour unveiled itself, leaving me astounded at how such complexity to could be achived whilst keeping all elements in perfect balance. The only criticism I have is that once you have eaten here, everywhere else will seem a little bland. Alexander famously wept when he had no more worlds to conquer. I now relate to that sentiment, but I will hold my tears, for as long as the Emporium is still open, I can fest on the finest vegan sausage rolls and pasties known to humanity. Non-vegan pastries...

This place is legendary, if you like a nice, freshly made pasty, I think you'll struggle to find a place better than this!

I got a vegan sausage roll, cheese & onion pasty, large latte, and it come to just over £10 😊

From the moment I walked in I could feel the nice energy, it has a nice ambience, all of the staff were very polite, friendly, and positive, which was so nice 😍

The prices are reasonable, the quality is high, the place has plenty of seating to sit and relax, and it's clean, what more can you ask for!

If you haven't been to this place, you need to try it out, I absolutely fully recommend it, and next time I'm in the area with work, I will definitely be going back, hopefully for their spicy vegetable pasty, 😋

To all the staff who are working hard to bring us top quality pastys, from the bottom of my heart, keep doing what you're doing, do not change a thing, thank you...
