This is an absolutely wonderful café to find. It is quite well hidden, and the best way to describe where it is, is by saying that its behind the Colston Hall, up from where the o2 academy is. Once youre on that road, you will not miss its colourful sign; a little frog beckoning you to come inside.

The atmosphere here is so lovely, it is somewhere you could spend your time drinking coffee and having a nice little relax. Speaking of which; the coffees here are excellent, and after conversation with Alex (the owner) I completely sense his passion for great, properly well made coffees. A drink here that is not to be missed, is the hot chocolate. Bog standard chocolate powder mixed with hot milk? No! Not here. Alex makes his own chocolate syrup, from Venezuelan Black 100% cacao. It is truly a rare find!

There is paninis, baguettes, sandwiches, soups and salads on offer, all made to be really fresh and healthy. And after your meal, I would highly suggest having a slice of cake! The beetroot cake was awesome.

This café has only opened a few months back, and it is most definitely worth a visit. A great relaxed spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the center.

A little hidden cafe, that you would do quite well to find. 'Cafe Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooophaga' is not the biggest place, nor is it the most popular venue, but what it does have is that friendly feeling and vibe that turns a good coffee into a great one!

One of the few places that I will actually sit down and enjoy my food and drink rather than just getting a takeaway. You feel like your far away from anything that could possibly trouble you, you reach a level of excapism... sounds silly? Don't believe me then, but go check it out for yourself!

I recently stumbled across this place completely by chance, and I'm seriously glad I did. It's a tiny little corner café with a lovely homely feel to it, think checkered table cloths and the like. They served me an excellent coffee, large and black, just how I like it, as well as a slice of the homemade lemon drizzle cake, which was truly delicious. Unfortunately it wasn't quite lunchtime when I dropped in, so I couldn't quite justify ordering one of their paninis, but I'm sure I'll be back to try the spinach & stilton, or goats cheese & red pepper - yummy. They also serve a range of pastries, soups and healthy snacks, such as vegetable crudités. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, too, so it's a great place to try out, if you're so inclined.
