Costa Coffee

You're on Gloucester Road, that brilliant strip of independent shops and cafes in Bishopston, and Costa offers exactly what you'd expect: a straightforward place to grab a decent espresso without overthinking it. The location's decent for people-watching on one of Bristol's busier high streets, and it's got enough seating to actually sit down with your flat white rather than just grabbing and running. Fair warning: it's a chain, so there's nothing particularly Bristol about it, but sometimes that's fine when you want consistency and decent WiFi.
