Dareshack - Bristol

Such a delightful café! The carrot cake was moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with creamy frosting that wasn’t overly sweet. The cheesecake was rich and smooth with just the right tang — absolutely heavenly. My coffee latte was velvety and well-balanced, while the cappuccino had that perfect frothy top and deep coffee aroma.

I also love that they offer vegan options, so everyone can find something delicious here. The staff were warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they serve. This is the kind of place where you can relax with friends or enjoy a quiet moment with a good book and a hot drink.

Definitely a spot I’ll be visiting again!

Great coffee spot in bristol. Great staff service and cozy place to have a breakfast. It also has a quiet workspace corner. I tried the cappuccino, latte, enchiladas and croissant. Amazing stuff

The coffee was good, but was unremarkable and easily outshone by the food. The banana and peanut butter cake was delightful with a balanced flavour. I’m not a big fan of chocolate myself (I know, controversial), but my friend urged me to have a bite of their brownie and it was honestly almost mind-blowing. It was rich, dense and creamy, and for chocolate / brownie lovers this item alone will make the shop worth a visit. The shop itself was chic and spacious - the perfect place for a break or catching up with friends.

This place is phenomenal! The coffee is so good - these guys really know what they're doing. The food is also great: we had the toastie croissant and the focaccia with hummus and aubergine and they were both great. The cheesecake was brilliant and the banana and peanut butter cake too!

The service was more than great and the atmosphere was brilliant. There's no purpose in writing anything more really - just go there and find out for yourselves.

Wow. Just... wow. After hearing rave reviews from a friend, I was expecting a charming café experience. What I got instead felt more like a social experiment in customer patience. The place was practically a ghost town—apart from the staff, who were fully engrossed in their riveting conversation.

After a luxurious 15-minute wait for a croissant and coffee, I was treated to what can only be described as a culinary shrug. The coffee tasted like it lost a bet, and the croissant might’ve been a tribute to the concept of “flaky.”

But the true star of the show? The fashion-forward staff member wearing a stained long-sleeve shirt and trainers that looked like they’d been through every bad decision made since 2006.

If you’re into disappointing food, glacial service, and staff who dress like extras in a post-apocalyptic film—this place is an absolute must. Otherwise, I’d recommend walking briskly in the opposite direction.

I came in a Saturday afternoon, not many options for cakes but it was alright. I’ve tried the chocolate brownie, it tasted rich and not too sweet, a good choice to have it with a cup of coffee. The latte was okay but it could be hotter, just a mild temperature I would say. I’ve noticed that the coffee shots were waiting there while the milk was still steaming. It’s a bit pricy so good to give it a go. But yet, it’s good in the around area.

One of the best local speciality coffee shops in Bristol, staff are friendly and welcoming. I personally come at least once a week to have a delicious cup of coffee with my friends. Especially the guest coffee (changes every two to three weeks) which is a chance to try many coffee origins and verities. The cheese cake is a must and recommended to try with cup of coffee

Extraordinary coffee and desserts! The banana bread was exceptionally good, and all the coffees we got were prepared to perfection.

The staff is also very friendly and quick. We will definitely be visiting often.
