Serving both sweet and savory crepes as well as hot and cold drinks, the place has a lot to offer.

One reviewer, who gave the venue a five-star review, said: “Delicious – I read about it here so I wanted to try it. We were not disappointed as our cheese and spinach crepes were delicious and the coffee was good. The crepes were easy to hold and served in a cup. I wanted to try the sweet crepes, but they were too full!”

Harts Bakery

Next on the list is a Hart Bakery located at 35 Lower Approach Road Arch by Bristol Temple Meads. Specializing in pastries, breads and cakes, all made in-store, Harts has long been a popular spot with locals.

One reviewer said: “We’ve visited twice and definitely had the best pan aux chocolat and pain aux raisins I’ve tasted anywhere, including France. The coffee was also nice, although I think it could be a bit higher given the not inconsiderable prices here. It gets very busy and clearly has a regular following.”

Small Street Espresso

Third on the list for the best places to grab a cheap breakfast is Small Street Espresso in the Old City. With a 4.5 star rating and 241 reviews on TripAdvisors, the cafe is ranked #4 in Bristol’s coffee and tea list and offers a variety of coffees, cakes and pastries.

One reviewer said: “This is my favorite coffee shop in Bristol. Great coffee, lovely cakes and a cool and pleasant place to sit. Contrary to a previous review, I find the staff (including the “brueta”) to be polite and very friendly. I talk to them whenever I’m there!”

Full Court Press

Fourth on the list is Full Court Press, which serves specialty coffees on Broad Street in the Old City. The cafe is ranked 6th in Bristol’s coffee and tea list and has received 4.5 stars out of 254 reviews on TripAdvisor.

A recent customer said: “Great coffee in a great location. Spiral staircase to an “interesting” basement and toilet which was very clean. Kind and helpful staff.”
