Little gem. I do hope it stays open for a long time. Very very quirky and unique and just overall a quintessential Bristol cafe.

Nice little coffee shop made out of a former public toilet. Has little side rooms as well as an outside. Nice coffee. Dog friendly.

Love this cafe - the coffee and cakes always taste good, plus the building inside is quirky. I sometimes come here on a Sunday when all the over coffee shops are rammed on nearby Park Street. Always found the staff to be friendly too - highly recommend

Got latte and flat white which were both really lovely! The staff member was so kind and gave us the history of the toilet to cafe conversion story which was really fascinating. He also gave us suggestions on cakes and we got the cheese cake and the home made almond and plum cake that was really lovely too. He also described the coffee beans to us and knew the profile very well including the decaffeinated options :)! Would love to come back again and try more other coffee options as well :)

Excellent cafe with an awesome interior. Ordered a latte and a breakfast tea to drink in. Both tasted great! The latte was nice and creamy and for the tea they used a big infusion bag. Great service too.

A lovely little place (that used to be a toilet shhhhhhh). Very quiet, we were the only customers, but a great friendly person served us great coffee & moist, fresh, delicious cake.
