Avenue Cafe — Restaurant in England

I recently visited Avenue Cafe with a mate, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. First, let me rave about the leek and potato soup—it was nothing short of perfection. The texture was velvety smooth, with the right balance of creaminess and seasoning. Every spoonful was comforting, packed with a fresh, earthy flavor that tasted like it had been made with the finest ingredients. It came served with warm, crusty bread that perfectly complemented the soup.

For dessert, I couldn’t resist trying their coconut cake, and I’m so glad I did. The cake was moist, light, and layered with just the right amount of coconut frosting, which was rich without being overpowering. The subtle sweetness and the tropical hint of coconut made it an absolute delight and a perfect way to end the meal.

The café itself was equally impressive. It’s big and spacious, yet it manages to feel cozy and inviting. The warmth of the décor and the welcoming atmosphere make it a perfect spot for anything from a solo coffee break to a catch-up with friends.

The service was outstanding—efficient and friendly without being intrusive. The staff were quick to clear plates and ensure everything was spotless, which added to the overall experience.

In my opinion, Avenue Café is easily one of the best cafés I’ve visited in Bristol. It’s the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to come back again and again....

I have been to The Avenue a number of times and have always enjoyed a chilled coffee and the occasional, very nice breakfast. During one of my visits, I had noticed on their website that they did Private Parties. By chance at the time, I was looking for somewhere to hold my retirement party. I had already spent a couple of weeks trying to find a venue to hold this and I was struggling, as I didn't want a formal send-off, I wanted somewhere that my work colleagues, family and friends could sit around comfortably, mingle at the bar and have a posh bite to eat. I wanted some background music, somewhere relatively easy to park and a place that I could say my good-byes. This place seemed to tick all the boxes. From the very second I met the manager to enquire about my requirements, our greeting on the night, during the party and until the time I left at 11pm, I found all the staff to be polite, extreme helpful and they all went out of their way to make the whole evening a night for us all to remember. I have had so much positive feedback from all who attended, saying that they would not only recommend The Avenue but also, more than likely to use them for their very own special event. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was delicious, you catered for all our needs and at a very reasonable price! A MASSIVE THANK YOU to Costas, Georgia and the team for a fabulous evening and send-off. 10/10 We will...

This place is extremely popular which is why you can’t book in advance. We arrived at about 11 am on a Saturday morning and it was rammed. We waited to be seated at a table near the door which was quite drafty as the door is open almost constantly, with people queueing to get in. The Menu is quite comprehensive but we stuck to the breakfast options. When we were ready I went up to the counter and queued again to give my order. This took a long time with only one till. The lady in the till was also serving slices of cake which she had to cut and plate, which added to the delay. When the food arrived we found our table wasn’t quite big enough for 4 and it got very crowded . Food was reasonably good, nicely cooked and presented.though they only serve smoked Bacon and there are no swaps allowed.

It was very noisy inside the venue which was to be expected with so many people but this wasn’t a relaxed Brunch as planned. There is now a covered patio which used to be outside seating where people were sat wrapped up in their coats.

Parking was particularly difficult and it might be best to park in the shopping centre opposite and walk through?

In summary, this is a good cafe but it is in danger of being a victim of its own success. We won’t be going back on a weekend, it was too busy, too noisy and far too frantic. Perhaps mid week...
