Arnolfini is a lovely place to pop in for food or drink whilst strolling down the Bristol waterfront. There are seats outside to enjoy the environment. The staff here are polite and give quick service.
If you are in the Arnolfini gallery or you are about to get into, you can have a delicious stop here. In summer the view to the harbour side is lovely and sometimes during the weekends you can enjoy the sunset with locals bands playing music.
Oct 2023 Still good location especially outdoor area, I always visit this bar and cafe cos the outdoor area where to chill under sunshine. 2022 Good location in the city centre with harbour view. I choose hot chocolate and cakes for my tea time, the taste is average (chocolate cake taste plain and the vegan carrot cake too sweet), 2 cups of hot chocolate and 2 pieces of cakes costs 15£). I think it’s good for a beer to chill instead of cafe.
Was a complete joy to return after 4ish years! Still serving lovely coffee and cake, beer and food in a lovely venue by the harbour. We didn't order any food this time but seeing the consistency, it's a fair bet they're still as amazing.
It is a great place to visit with tasty food, nice coffee and other drinks. The artistic atmosphere and location by the river definitely add to the overall appeal of the cafe. There are also a neighbouring bookstore and an upstairs exhibition space that are both worth to a visit
