Twelve

Fantastic cakes, coffee, and service. The owner/barista is always friendly, and bakes the sweets herself. They are welcoming regarding wifi/ laptop usage, which I've found to be rare in Clifton, so long as you respect that you should move along if you're done with your coffee and new customers need a seat (which I would do regardless, but they have polite signage). The cafe is very clean, bright, and a calming space. I'm a third wave coffee fan, and the coffee strikes a good balance that I can enjoy a cup as much as my husband who enjoys a bit darker roast. Cannot stress enough how fresh and phenomenal the cakes are. We are newly relocated to Bristol, and this is certainly my new neighborhood go-to. Shameless photos included of the ridiculous amount of cakes we've tried so far (gotta taste 'em all!), but as folks here testify, the strawberry bakewell is the superstar.

Genuinely lovely place, with excellent coffee and a gorgeous black labrador! Perfect for working as all tables have plugs and the light is good inside. My only problem with Twelve is that their opening times are really short - they always close at 2pm and aren't open Mondays or Tuesdays. I'd make it a regular spot if the opening times were longer! Otherwise a great spot.

Best coffee shop in Clifton! They offer the most delicious coffee and cake selection. I am obsessed with the gluten-free carrot cake which is spectacular every-single-time. Honestly, it's the best I have ever had and return every weekend for my ritual slice and oat milk latte. They also have an assortment of other gluten-free options that are equally delicious such as the Bakewell tart, brownie, and occasionaly the apple spiced cake (another favorite of mine). The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and inviting inside with optional seating outside to enjoy when the sun is shining. My home away from home :)
