Poquito Coffee

Local suppliers

Rather than doing everything in-house, Poquito brings together a handful of Bristol producers. Coffee is from Clifton Coffee, bagels come from Bishopston Bagels and pastries from Pano Bakehouse, so it is a good place to try several local names in one stop. Plants from Mint Plants are on sale too. It is a neat way to sample several of the city's independent food businesses without crossing town.

How to use it

It is a grab-and-go or quick-sit kind of place: a coffee and a filled bagel before heading into town, or a pastry on a slow weekend morning. Owner Sam Janes opened it after years working in Manchester's nightclubs, and it has the easy feel of a local regulars' spot. Weekday mornings suit commuters and locals on their way into town, while weekends are slower.

Nearby

Cheltenham Road runs down into Stokes Croft, so Poquito pairs well with a street-art walk. The Crafty Egg and Nadu are a minute or two away, and Farro Bakery is close if you want more baking. Montpelier itself is worth a wander, with its painted terraces on the hill behind Cheltenham Road.
