Society Cafe - Bristol

The interior is lovely and spacious, very pleasant to sit for a coffee and work in, or just to catch up with a friend. The environment is very welcoming with lots of natural light, comfortable chair/sofas and plants strewn around. The staff was very friendly. Quality coffee and the brownie was yummy. Amazing location as well, right next to the river and if you sit in the right spot you can enjoy your coffee while watching the harbor. They have outside tables too. Usually it’s a bit busy on weekends. Highly recommend!

What lovely place. Great coffee. Lots of people. Ha! very social indeed.

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend was unwell and fainted whilst waiting for a drink, and hit his head in the process. It was absolutely terrifying but the staff at the society cafe were unbelievable. I honestly can’t thank them enough. One of the team was St Johns trained and was an absolute star. And when I was stressing, another member of the team ran over to ask if I’d like her to sit with me. I can’t tell you what this meant to me- I think about how selfless this was a lot (especially in a busy cafe!! . We keep on meaning to come back in and thank you in person, but life has just got in the way. Society Cafe has been a regular favourite for us (excellent coffee, yummy cakes but knowing that such lovely people work here makes it even more special. If you ever fancy greater coffee with even better people, look no further than here. Thank you for being the best! Alex and Lydia xxx

Pleasantly surprised by Society. It's in a high footfall touristy location so it's typical to be apprehensive on the quality you'll get. However the coffee here is fantastic both their house guest rotations. Visited several times in the week and the espresso was consistently belting. Lovely bunch of people working the counter too. Would 100% recommend.

Absolutely wonderful Café that carries some amazing specialty coffee and extremely personal and helpful employees. I discovered Society Café purely by coincidence during my trip to Bristol while I was looking around for Beans to bring home. The interior feels very welcoming with lots of Natural light and comfortable furniture and plants strewn around. Once you enter the counter carrying lovely cakes is right ahead, while the wall to your left carries different speciality coffee and brewing equipment. Underneath the shelves are fridges carrying a variety of cold drinks, including their amazing in-house cold brew. Dan from staff came over to me while I was browsing their lovely guest beans. He was very helpful in helping me pick something according to my preference and we talked a bit about speciality coffee. He was even kind enough to invite my friend and me to an event the following day. The entire crew working on our days visiting was wonderfully accomodating. The prepared drinks were carefully prepared each time and the quality was easy to taste. I'm looking forward to my next time visiting.
