The first entry on the list: Bristol Coffee House. On our second day in Bristol, I insisted to Ally that we had to stop in a cafe that looked the goods. Bristol Coffee House caught our attention straight away, despite it being one of the first cafes we passed. Just inside the door we noticed three girls enjoying a cuppa and the attractive appearance (of the coffees of course...) convinced us to give it a crack.
The price was very steep... £2.90 for a regular latte, but we went ahead anyway. While we were waiting, we noticed a little red and white book, the "South West Independent Coffee Guide", and had a flick through. Understandably, Bristol Coffee House was in the book and this gave us high hopes of the coffees we were about the receive, but also helped pinpoint some cafes we could try while staying in Bristol and surrounds.
The coffee was generally quite good; a cheeky grin appeared when I took my first sip and tasted the dense foam. As I got further through, the coffee seemed to retreat into the milk. Which was a bit of a shame. The texture was good all the way through, and the barrister finished off with a nice fern pattern. A for effort. The milk also seemed to not quite be the correct temperature, perhaps a tiny bit underdone; but overall a solid latte.
Overall I'd give the Bristol Coffee House a 3.5/5, but for the price, there are definitely better options around.
