The Rocking Chair Cafe

A gem of a cafe in an old Victorian public convenience. It is quite quirky with tables made from washbasins and wood panelled walls. Two of the toilets have been left for customer use and have the old chain flush. The coffee is excellent and there is a selection of cakes and sandwiches, including vegetarian. There is WiFi and lots of little nooks if you're looking for a quiet space to use a laptop.

Lovely and quaint little cafe. Great choice of hot drinks and cakes, all at good prices. Plenty of places to sit considering the size of the establishment. The cake I chose however isn't the best I have tasted, and the drink was good but had better. But all in all I would return if in the area.

This cafe is refurbished from an Edwardian public loo! Lovely place and coffee! Definitely a good place to enjoy some reading!

Got latte and flat white which were both really lovely! The staff member was so kind and gave us the history of the toilet to cafe conversion story which was really fascinating. He also gave us suggestions on cakes and we got the cheese cake and the home made almond and plum cake that was really lovely too. He also described the coffee beans to us and knew the profile very well including the decaffeinated options :! Would love to come back again and try more other coffee options as well :

Very nice café usually, but today, I found the girl serving to be quite unfriendly. I said 'thank you, cheers' at the end after I made sure I had already paid and she didn't even respond. This is a shame, as usually it's a lovely café with great service, but after this, I will think twice about coming back. There's a lovely Greek café just down the road.

chai latte here is god sent and heavenly. yum. plus they have sockets. plus its 2 minutes from wills, MVB and fry. who needs a so*rce cafe coffee water when u can have delicious chai and coffee and cake here?

Cold, unfriendly service from the girl at the counter as soon as I entered and throughout, she was busy chatting to the young clientele she had a personal relationship with outside of work, very unprofessional. No pricelist on the drinks board, I settled on an apple, cucumber celery and lemon juice for 4.25. The cucumber was brown on the inside, she didn't bother washing it, I tasted no apple or celery, plenty of sour lemon zest though : Very disappointing for such an interesting building, AVOID AND SAVE YOUR MONEY AND ENERGY.

Top 3 in Bristol. This coffee shop has the best atmosphere and character in all of Bristol. Such lovely drinks served with an exceptional aestheic. This converted school cloakroom is a fantastic, must try coffee experience. Upstairs seating is always busy but when there's space it adds so much charm.

The coffee is great and not too pricey, and the girl at the counter was really friendly. Nice atmosphere, would definitely recommend :

Phenomenal coffee shop in an extraordinary space - our favorite in Bristol. Consistently great coffee, pleasant staff, and a wide array of yummy pastries. Worth seeking out.
