Sweven Coffee
12 North StBest coffee in Bristol. Good cakes. Highly recommend.
This is one of my personal favourites. Busy and rambunctious on Fridays and Saturdays but the afternoon tea is supposed to be very good.

Getting around
Be mindful on the bottom of Stoke's Croft
It's not uncommon to see medium sized groups of homeless people out in public near the bottom of Stokes Croft. While they're harmless and often very kind, it's worth being aware of and knowledgeable about.
