Owned by Imogen and Kieran Waite who opened the hugely successful Bravas a year and a half ago, this breakfast bar is nothing short of wonderful. As soon as we arrived I was immediately taken by the light and airy atmosphere with hints of happy yellow, the white washed wood wall and poured cement floor work harmoniously with the carefully placed hanging ferns and spot lighting throughout. This vibrant and uplifting space not only comes with great coffee to while away the time, but also food to delight the senses. Each day the sour dough bread is baked on site and chefs work in the open kitchen at the front of the cafe much to the excitement of F who loves to watch.
We sat by the window so we could watch the morning bustle of Gloucester Road pass by and I relaxed back into my chair and sipped on my soya latte before tucking into a heavenly breakfast of 'Huevous Rancheros' - Slow cooked pinto beans, corn tortilla, red and green salsas and a poached egg – it comes with a fried egg on the menu but poached is my absolute favourite. I even managed to flick through the pages of my favourite magazines as F silently enjoyed one of the cakes on offer.
What I love about Bakers & Co is the research that has gone into making it great, unlike new ventures, the owners took a trip to San Francisco to see what makes the cafe culture tick across the pond and brought a slice of it back to Bristol. With full tummies we ordered peach & earl grey ice tea to go and strolled up to St Andrews park for some fun. What did you get up to this weekend?
I LOVE huevos rancheros - my all time favourite breakfast.
ReplyDeleteMight have to take A here on Saturday for a birthday breakfast.
Well, now that you have made me so hungry with this post. I am going to have to go find myself something to eat.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, there are none of these little independent places in Cambridge. I adore huevos rancheros- yum!
ReplyDeleteThat cafe looks lovely. We had a BBQ on Saturday at the mother in law's then another at our house on the Sunday. It was a nice weekend and luckily the rain stopped at the times we were ready to eat!
ReplyDeletePoached eggs are one of my favourites too. It looks like a wonderful little place, I wish there was somewhere like that near to us, I would love to visit.
