Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Greenbank

"Hands down one of Bath’s most elegant places to enjoy a meal or indulgent afternoon tea, The Pump Room started life as something quite different. Originally built to give the general public direct access to the thermal waters in the late 17th century, as it was believed to help with certain medical problems, The Pump Room still have the King’s Spring water fountain inside, where you can buy a glass of the warm spa water to drink yourself. The interior, with its grand columns, beautiful chandeliers and elegant decoration, really captures the style of Georgian high society to this day."

They also have a wonderful lunch and breakfast menu, which you can enjoy while drinking in the breathtaking period surroundings."

"Iconic restaurant in the heart of Bath that’s perfect for Austen-inspired daydreaming. No trip to Bath is worth its salt if it doesn’t include a visit to The Pump Rooms. Crumbly scones, luscious clotted cream and sweet, fruity jams: this is the go-to location for Afternoon Tea."

"You can’t get much more Bristol than this Stokes Croft workers’ co-operative café. Breakfast is a highlight, with flavoursome meat-free fry ups (crispy hash browns, garlic mushrooms, facon) our pick of the bunch. Wash it down with a soya latte (though they do make an exception for cow’s milk in drinks if you prefer) and watch the rest of the world rush to work through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows."

"is a hippie’s nirvana: a not-for-profit co-operative owned space, this restaurant is known for its quality grab-‘n’-go all-vegan menu. Everything is handmade, organic and ethically sourced, from the cakes and burgers down to the dressings and dips.

"Lauded by London food writers, this is another place where peoples' eyes dart about hoping a table will come free, and they'll be able to move quick enough to grab it. More than just the food is the feeling you're at the centre of what's happening as the foot traffic of this part of town passes by. Cafe Kino can be found at 108 Stokes Croft."

"Rosemarino’s mission is simple – “to deliver outstanding dishes using high quality, simple ingredients. No fuss – just great tasting food that everyone can enjoy.

"Home of the sour-dough-nut, Pinkmans Bakery is a right of passage when in Bristol. Their delicious doughnuts are individually hand rolled then fried to give a super light texture, making for a moreish dessert. Their latest sour-dough-nut flavours include rhubarb; raspberry and white chocolate; vanilla cream and raspberry jam; honeycomb mousse; and chocolate pecan brownie."

"Pinkmans is famous for its sourdough doughnuts, which definitely live up to the hype. They also serve a range of other pastries and cakes, which err on the side of modern French patisserie while retaining a laidback vibe. Based on Park Street, it’s always bustling, but you’ll likely find a spot on one of the communal tables at the back."

"More than anything else, Rocotillos (situated on the Clifton Triangle) is famous for its indulgent milkshakes, some of which are so thick they could be used to build houses. With both a bar and booths, it is often populated by hung-over locals who are intent on recovering from the previous night’s excesses. Brunches are cheap and large, and include the Ten Gallon Tex’s serious fry-up (a gigantic steak) and follow it up with a Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough or Phish Food milkshake."

"Bar + Block is one hell of a steakhouse, sourcing all their cuts from the South American Pampas. However, their diverse menu also features a number of other meat, fish, poultry and veggie options - head to the restaurant for their express lunchtime menu to get a cheap meal and drink for £10."

"I first came across Society in its home city of Bath, where I managed to visit the two branches in the order that they opened, a rarity for the Coffee Spot, starting with Kingsmead Square before moving onto The Corridor. However, I’ve safely broken that trend by skipping the third Society Café, in Oxford, instead visiting the fourth and most recent branch which opened this summer in Bristol. You’ll find Society Café down by the harbour, on the corner of Narrow Quay and Farr’s Lane, right next to the youth hostel."

"Society Café is one of my favourite spots in the centre, especially when with the kids as it’s plenty spacious enough for a pushchair. It has a bright and airy, somewhat hipster, design and serves up great coffee, sweet treats and light lunches."

"Why: The boat that was formerly home to the Glassboat Brasserie had a rehaul during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown and has now become FiSH - a restaurant focused around serving the freshest seafood around, which has normally been landed by day boats from Devon, Cornwall and Dorset.
