Sourdough Cafe

I really love this bakery. It adds a delicacy and prettiness to The Glass Arcade, with its smell of baked bread, sandwiches and home made desserts. They have done a great job in the way they have set up and decorated the stall; it simply looks like a place that you must stop and at least have a look at the food they have on offer. Besides an outside seating area, you can sit inside too, where it feels like you’re having some coffee and cake in someone’s kitchen.
They used to make a flapjack here that I swear was the king of all flapjacks. It was the most amazing one I’d ever tasted — with caramel and honey holding the oats together, and little yoghurt drops on the top of the flapjack, but sadly a week after I had it, I realised they had stopped making it. From time to time, I’ve been inconspicuously walking past, peeking if they have brought it back, but perhaps next time I should just stop and beg them to. It really was that good. If that was just the flapjack, I can imagine that everything else here is utterly yummy as well. Try it!

And the best cappuccino in Bristol award goes to… Sourdough Café!!! The crowd goes wild.
Trust me when I tell you I don’t give out an award like this willy-​nilly and I am not alone in my opinion. From the first time it touches your lips it is just perfect. Perfect in temperature (not too hot, but stays warm) and flavour (slightly sweet without sugar). This is how it should be done.
They do other things well, like their amazing bread that is their own recipe; it is not bought from any supermarket. All the cakes are made by local chefs as well and are delicious.
Sourdough Café is hidden slightly, down at the far end of St Nick’s market, under the glass arcade. I even love the way it looks, with a worn beach wood interior and furniture, you feel like you are sat in a beach hut. It really is so relaxing, even during the hustle and bustle of lunchtime down in St. Nicks.
I love it, this place was such a hidden gem, a genuine find, an incredible treat… ok I’ll stop… I was the first to review it. I can only hope you all choose not to believe me so I don’t have to queue to get my daily coffee fix.
