The Coffee Shop

"One of the nicer coffee shops in the area. Good, hearty food"

"Lunched here for a few days and the food is really good! There is something for everyone on the menu, vegan and vegetarian options available if you want it. Seating inside or out, the staff were really friendly and the food orders came out quickly. Prices were good too, toilet facilities inside the centre."

"Nice little coffee shop in a nice location on the green, with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is nice but could do with some more veggie/vegan options. Stoke Gifford has a lack of cafes, so it would be good if this place opened for longer hours and on weekends (only open 10-4 weekdays)."

"I love coming here for coffee (although it was before the pandemic that I visited last). High ceilings give it a nice airy feel. The homemade cakes are delicious and the coffee is also good - it's a pity that you can only have a normal-sized cup, though (as opposed to a mid-sized drink), as I'm used to having twice the size in other cafes, which obviously works out cheaper per fluid ounce!)"

"My wise friend once said, judge everything on its own merits. I expected Old School Rooms Coffee Shop to be dripping with greasy spoon drudgery, given its name. From the outside, I had preconceptions of its interior i.e., a pokey hole where they serve instant coffee, with whole milk and sugar. Luck would have it, they had an espresso machine. Their menu listed a flatwhite and they had oat milk. I nearly fell to my knees and wept. Flat whites need personality. Adding latte art adds that creativity and human touch. The accommodating staff member had a bubbly, infectious personality. She mentioned the range of desserts, many of which are baked in the kitchen. The recommendation was the Stout and Chocolate sponge cake. Unfortunately, they had sold out of this fine baked good. The advice from staff was to come back first thing on Monday. Unfortunately, I’m heading through on Sunday. I may have to extend stay just for a taste."
