    Bristol Sunset Café is one of my favorite breakfast spots around. My girlfriend and I love grabbing a salted maple latte to go, it's easily one of the best drinks on the menu. The food is consistently excellent. The butternut squash omelet is packed with flavor and always a standout. I also really like the #7, the Portuguese Benny, lemon curd French toast, and the sweet bread French toast, everything comes out fresh and really well done. The corned beef hash and chourico hash are both delicious and great if you're in the mood for something more savory and hearty. They also had a recent maple-based special that I can't remember the exact name of, but it was just as good as everything else on the menu. Overall, you really can't go wrong here. Great food, great drinks, and a solid go-to breakfast spot in Bristol.

    Mallory our server made our day, and breakfast delightful!!!

    Great place to Nosh in Bristol Ri, wait time is a bit horrendous but when seated.... relief servers attentive and kind, got a window table Coffee is very good, mimosa's too our first time here so more about the food later. Get here early, leave name and cell number if you've a long wait time, you can stroll to nearby shops. Mallory was indeed an awesome server....it was busy

    Great food, friendly service, casual/modern atmosphere. Portions are generous but also pricier for breakfast. There is a bit of pressure to eat quickly and leave due to the long waitlist. Maybe that was because our table was near the door, so we were hyper aware of parties just standing and waiting. The wait can be incredibly long, so highly recommend you use the waitlist feature ahead of your visit. We dined on a Sunday - added our party of 3 to the waitlist around 9:20, our seating time was estimated to be 10:30, and we were sat about then. A very accurate estimate. There's no waiting area inside, so I do not recommend arriving early.

    So good sandwich

    Yes! Go here! Be prepared to wait for a table at busy times, but this was delicious. I got take out to bring to colt state park (just make sure you ask for utensils if you don't have them in your car). There is a full bar area and a bunch of tables plus a couple small tables outside. I got the "so good sandwich" and the "so good" was an understatement . It was delicious! The perfect breakfast sandwich. I added the avocado and got the side of home fries. The home fries were soft and flavorful. They could have sold more time on the griddle to get crispy but even without that I could eat a bucket of them. We also got the OG Benny which was tasty. They put the hollandaise sauce on the side which was a great take out idea. Coffee was nothing special but good and not super expensive compared to other places for a latte. I will definitely be back!

    Coffee formulation maybe pumpkin spiced latte.

    We have been going to the Sunset Cafe for a few years now and I just realized that I have never written a review. IMHO it is hands down the best breakfast place in this area. It is relatively large with a nice sized counter. Plenty of space that is comfortable. Service is amazing. Everyone is friendly and looking to get you whatever you need. Now onto the food and drink. Coffee formulations are amazing per my wife. I just drink Red-eyes. The breakfast offerings are all good. It really doesn't matter what you order. It will be perfectly prepared. My favorites are the veggie omelette made with egg whites and a side of corned beef hash. The hash is made by them and it is simply fabulous. Eggs are always made as you ordered which is unique these days. The home fries are amazing as well with a perfect blend of spices. If you go on the weekend, do the call ahead seating. Otherwise, you will be waiting for a while. Give it a try

    Popped in for a quick Black Friday brunch and it did not disappoint! We chose this spot for its great reviews and the short walk from our Airbnb. The service was fast, the food was spot-on, and there wasn't much of a crowd. We joined the online waitlist and got seated quickly. There's a lovely waterfront area nearby too--can't wait to come back in the summer when it's even nicer.

    Cozy and inviting decor!

    The food, the atmosphere, the service... it was perfect! We HIGHLY recommend the Bristol Sunset Cafe!! We'll be back!!

Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

The vibes were great, there was plenty of room for our party (we had 7 of us), and it didn't feel crowded at all despite the number of people that were in the coffee shop. I think that the only downside that I would say for our experience is that the drinks at the bar took FAR too long, although they were good! We came here in the evening, but I would definitely love to pop in at some point during the day because I do think that this would be a wonderful little study spot!

Ordered the clam chowder which was very good. It leans towards a Rhode Island Chowder, which I prefer vs. the creamy New England Chowder. Nice flavor, and the dice chourico was visible . I only found it a bit salty and it was served with a Portuguese roll. I also ordered the Cacoila sandwich which was also served with on a Portuguese roll and I opted for the seasoned fries which were very tasty.
