Professional, high quality coffee shop. Friendly staff and nice baristas. Coffee beans menu changed weekly. You can take a seat outdoor bench, long bench behind front door or at the basement. They also provide cakes and pastries. Yes, price for coffee is comparatively high because of the beans and baristas’ technique, but it definitely worth to. Quite and clam place to enjoy the artisan coffee.
Great filter coffee. You also get to choose from different options based on your coffee preference and flavour profiles (i.e. Fruitiness...) for either filter or your espresso.
Service is very friendly and welcoming. This place can get very busy, there is seating outdoors which can be nice to people watch on a nice day.
I would recommend this place if you want a good cup of coffee.
Quite the place! Outstanding cafè in the heart of Bristol!
I arrived at Full Court Press on a rainy morning as the first stop of a motorcycle trip. I was drenched top to bottom, and quite discomforted. The service I received and the coffees literally got me back on track and fully energised!
The coffees: I tried both espressos (Rwanda and Guatemala); they had distinct character, recognisable taste notes, and especially the Rwanda had a clean and vibrant mouthfeel, while the Guatemalan one was more creamy and surely dialled in to go well with milk too. The filter coffee selection is vaste, picking from a few fresh ones and a frozen menu. I had an Ethiopian from the Geisha Village; it was brewed to perfection using a clever dripper and a quirky hot water dispenser. Lovely cup of fruity juice!! I also bought their own roasted Colombian Gesha to take with me for the rest of the trip, and had delicious aeropress out of it.
The service: as soon as I entered the place I felt a very welcoming atmosphere, which was confirmed by the baristas offering me help to dry my dump clothes (by taking a stove from the back room), recommending the nearby St Nicks Market as a place where to get some hot food, and entertaining with quality coffee chats while of course brewing fantastic coffees for me and the many other who popped by during the two hours I spent there. I could see the care put into preparing every single cup; no one was served a less than excellent coffee.
I wanted to visit this place for a long time, and as I finally did it I am pleased it was a memorable experience! Top notch!
