Seven independent cafes within a stone’s throw of Starbucks
A new cafe rhyming with ‘clusterfucks’ has opened on St Augustine’s Parade.
But why would you ever want to visit when there are more than half a dozen independent establishments within only a few hundred yards?
In alphabetical order, here are seven cafes on or just off the centre that are not Starbucks:
Banh Wagon
Banh Wagon, located in a former bike store on Colston Street, specialises in Vietnamese sandwiches
The Bristol Loaf
The Bristol Loaf on the ground floor of the Bristol Beacon foyer is an organic bakery and eatery
Caffe Moka
Caffe Moka on Clare Street brings Neapolitan coffee beans and Italian vibes to the centre
The Colombian Company Cafe
Founded in Bath and with another cafe in Bristol on Whiteladies Road, the Colombian Coffee Company serves speciality Colombian coffee
Hatter House Cafe
Hatter House Cafe on Clare Street promises “something for everyone to enjoy and love”
Ka:Fei
You will look high and low to find a warmer welcome than at Ka:Fei, which is located within a converted shipping container on the centre with a suntrap outside seating area
Society Cafe
