We’ve always enjoyed going to this cafe and have been going years. Unfortunately our last visit wasn’t very enjoyable. My other half and I bought coffee and cake for ourselves, however we brought our own food for our one year old as we knew there is no baby/children’s menu. My one year old has a no salt and sugar diet (as do most one year olds) We were told (politely) that we aren’t allowed to bring our own food for our baby and that they provide food for babies. On leaving I had to check just incase I was mistaken if they provide food for babies. The food they provide are baby pouches or wafers which are suitable for babies who are newly being weaned onto solids. A pouch is not nutritional or substantial enough for a child who is over one on a full solid diet. Other than that you offer cakes and sausage rolls, which like most parents wouldn’t want your one year old eating for lunch. Until you can provide food suitable for young children (low/no salt and no sugar unless natural) I don’t believe you can ask people to not bring their own food for their babies. I understand your business is a charity and that you rely on people purchasing your food and drink (which we did) I just don’t feel it’s okay to tell people they can’t feed their babies. I genuinely feel embarrassed for your staff, having to tell parents they aren’t allowed to feed their babies their own food. They must be exhausted from saying it, everyone there had their own food for their babies and every other occasion we’ve been there it’s been no different.

Lovely people... Sarah and Jamal(sorry if spelt wrong) go out their way to make you welcome. The food is excellent and just the perfect place for a cuppa. There are numerous picnic benches with umbrellas on them, shading from sun or cover from rain. A lot of the tables have dog lead attachments so you can have your snack in peace. As for the dogs, they're more than welcome with treats regularly given out :) the garden is surrounded with beautiful flowers, and vegetables very therapeutic place to sit. There is a wee bucket of water with small watering cans so that the children can water the plants, budding new gardeners in the making. Oh and there's a non dog area who prefer to be separated.. there's also a fairly large indoor area just incase the weather changes. shout out to Sarah, Jamal, Fiona and Mitch, thanks for all you do.

Very nice atmosphere due to the attractive building and fittings, and the surrounding green space. Coffee and cake were reasonably priced and tasted very good. Staff were efficient and friendly. All cutlery and containers are reusable or recyclable, and customers can bring their own containers for takeaways.

I used to love this little cafe, it’s a great place to sit outside and enjoy lunch/a coffee/drink. The service also used to be very good. I think its popularity has eroded the service a little, it isn’t what it used to be. As an example, I just asked for some ice for my drink and was told they don’t give out ice for that, only ice coffees. I’m now drinking a warm Cawston Press on a hot day. Strange policy! Perhaps just don’t buy cold drinks from here as the hot drinks tend to be fine.

Great food, nicely cooked. Nice place to go with dogs also which is great around Bristol.... But totally put off by the lady serving so will not be returning which is a shame. Felt as though it was one of those places " if your face fits" ours clearly didn't. Said they only had two pieces of bread left then minutes later pulled out a whole loaf out infront of our face. Were not made to feel welcome but could clearly see regulars were.

The cafe is warm and inviting, the staff are always friendly with a good knowledge of the menu items.The food is fresh, using local ingredients where possible. The vegetable samosa are delightful, warm and spicy. I love the frangipane slice but my little girl favours the rocky road. Come on in and decide for yourself with a selection of hot and cold drinks, you'll be spoilt for choice !

What a beautiful setting. Gardens looked natural and well tended. A great place for local community and visitors. Can't comment on the food as they had sold out of quich and salad by the time we arrived for late lunch. Definitely return for earlier lunch and a break from the hustle and bustle.

The welcome you receive is warm, the atmosphere is lovely, the food and drinks are excellent and it's completely dog friendly. Perfect place to have an outdoor meet up or a pit stop during a dog walk. Wish this place was open everyday all year round as they would have my custom. Definitely worth a visit!

Wonderful hidden gem and would absolutely recommend a visit. It is a relaxing and friendly environment. Only had a drink, but the cake selection looked very tempting!

Lovely, peaceful community cafe to come and enjoy a coffee next to the Ardagh bowls green. A nice cappuccino in a compostable cup. Some beautiful flowers surrounding the outside seating. They also have a food bank collecting items on a Tuesday morning 11-12:30. Support local!

Wonderful community cafe, with great coffee and gorgeous food, and it's a really welcoming space. What more could anyone ask for?

Great location , service is slow they need a push button machine as 2 busy for full barista and staff slow, but friendly except for young chap who always seems bored. Would go more and spend more it I did not have to wait 20 mins to be served. Hope it improves.great idea.

Best kept "not-so-secret" in Horfield. Beautiful location, delicious food and refreshments and very pleasant and amenable staff. Loads of outdoor seating with umbrellas to enjoy the fresh air only a short distance from the bustle Gloucester Road and Kellaway Road.

Great little cafe in lovely surroundings. Can sit inside if needed, but the best seats are outside either looking at the beautiful flowers or at the back which has a kids play kitchen which is perfect. Usually go for coffee and cake

Great little place to stop for a cup of tea and a cake after a nice walk around the Common (or a not-so-nice trip to Tesco). Plenty of outdoor (and some indoor) seating and a good selection of drinks, cakes, ice creams and hot food.

So nice to see the the space opened up to the local people and not the exclusively of a "Club" although I do hope they will thrive in their sporting activitie and the tennis courts get some help. And some other sports get a chance.

Lovely cafe! Very popular and constantly a que. Staff were super friendly and polite. Had an iced coffee and cake! Both were really nice! Plenty of space to sit outside

Coffee was terrible, perhaps the worst I have had in Bristol, staff member who served me looked like he hated every second of his job. Probably a nice place to sit outside in the summer, hence two stars rather than one.

After a long time being outdoors only we are now allowed to enjoy a lovely drink and snack in the warm. Bit late for tea cakes so had a coffee and croissant. Home made cakes looked delicious but I resisted temptation

Its nice here, plenty of places outside, good setting. Why ive taken star off, is to me, is a bit overpriced, but all seems to be going that way. Would keep going there, its in convenient location and good parking.

What a fantastic little quiet spot, away from the busyness. Lovely cafe and green space to sit and be comfortable and calm in. Lots of benches and grass to sit on. Realy nice cakes and very good coffee I thought.

Such a lovely place, very child friendly with a great pots and pans sensory section for toddlers to play in. Good selection of sweet and savoury snacks. Sadly the Coffee isn't the best but otherwise great

Good selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks. Bring a reusable cup for a discount on hot drinks. Plenty of park bench style seating where you can watch people play bowls on the green.

Lovely spot for a coffee. Can't fault it

great place to meet up for a quick meeting - plenty of seating outside and great if the weather is good Relaxed space and went for coffee/tea

Very nice environment and facilities. Nice coffee and snacks. Tables in and out, even a mud kitchen for the kids to play out! I loved it

I was just passing through and stopped for a coffee, what a lovely hidden gem of a place it is. I will definitely pop in there again.

Nice spot for open air coffee. Normally I order an extra shot in my coffee but unwise here it is decently strong to start with.
