Totterdown Canteen

we’ve only lived in totterdown a few months but this place is already a very firm favourite for post-night-out breakfasts. really good food and excellent prices, as well as just a great vibe. the staff are all lovely and do a great job. very recommended!! [i would note that the only negative reviews seem to be for deliveries. why you would get a cafe breakfast delivered with such high expectations is beyond me tbh]

This restaurant is a gem! It's arguably one of the best in the southeast part of Bristol. The staff are very welcoming and charismatic, with the restaurant being passionate about giving to charity. The food is affordable, with fantastic deals for students. Almost anyone can get a deal, too. The menu allows it. They are vegetarian and vegan friendly with the chef always willing to accommodate. Love this place!!!The aesthetic is colourful and historic with a brillant use of levels. It is a really good place for breakfast and to study. Simply amazing. I ordered the vegan breakfast with fried bread. OH, how I love fried bread now! The free tea that came with the meal and the chai latte that I ordered were lush.

Nice and helpful staff, friendly and relaxed atmosphere and great food with lots of options to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan. Very good prices too! Did I mention dog friendly? Definitely recommend!

Lovely breakfast - choose based on location and recent reviews and to be honest it was great value for money, delicious and we would totally recommend.Busy with lots of people eating in and a regular stream of deliveroo" style users collecting take outs for people.There is the odd moan in the reviews.. but if you are too lazy to collect cheese on toast and then moan... You really should step inside the place and discover how clean

Lovely , good value food

I am a bit afraid of writing this review and even my heart is racing a bit as I am writing this as they seem a bit hostile and really passive aggressive toward bad reviews rather than just trying to listen  and accept what customers are trying to say. These reviews are all subjective and they all had different experiences from the restaurant whether that experiences were good or bad and we have every right to be honest about our experiences and share our personal experience with the restaurant.I mentionted on the note when I placed my order on uber, the egg was fully cooked and hard which you dont want for your egg benedict ( you want runny egg yolk) it was not the type of eggs you would have expect and this happeded few times in the past.We thought it was microwaved as it looked like cooked by microwaved as it was shaped flat and perfectly round rather than oval ball shape eggs like a typical poached eggs . If you say it is poached eggs, okay no problem, you must have some special equipment to come out as different form as it is busy restaurant, I understand that you can't make poached egg with a typical way and it is absolutely understandable.Anyhow, that is not even the point, i wouldn't have mind if it was microwaved as long as it was runny egg and microwave cooking doesn't mean that egg wasn't fresh.We said on the note, we would like runny egg. Simple request. And they delivered the food with aggressive notes and they wrote this three time on the food box and the receipts.Honestly, it really upset us and almost mini traumatised about this agreesive response by their behaviour and attuide and coul not eat the food delivered as we felt sick in the stomach so just hed to trash them.We ordered the food from totterdown canteen Saturday morning for our family of 4 and it just ruined our day due to their unkind and aggressive gesture and decided not to order here anymore.I expect the restaurant would reply to this, just being defensive and just try to say what they want to say to make us feel wrong about posting this. Rather than listening and owning their fault and mistake, they would come back at you with passive aggressive tone as they did with the note  in our food and as they did with many other bad reviews here.However I have decided to be brave and not afraid of being attacked and just being honest about the way we were treated for other people who might have had bad experience like us.Please dont try to just pick on the words that you can twist and punch , please just listen and embrace, I ordered the food again here even though food wasn't always perfect as it is totally acceptable as we all are human and can't always make things perfect. We ordered food here so many times in the past and I simply wrote the memo for runny egg with a trust and as a reminder and certainly not for expecting to receive an attack. I wans't looking for a fight I was excited having a lovely Saturday morning with the lovely meal from the restaurant. How can I eat the meal cooked with negativity. This is not the only time we felt a bit upset about their customer servie but I am not going to unfold  that here too we did continue to order food here as we thought that he is just probably having a bad day and tried not to take it personally but this really confirms it and will not go near or order the food from here as it would remind us the bed memories.

Only putting one star because I have to terrible food takes wrong orders then says customer was wrong as they can not multi task and food wasn't worth the wait will not be going again

We live in south Devon & come to Bristol to visit our daughter & her fiancé. We have been to totterdown canteen a couple of times before when we have wanted to go out for breakfast & this is the best place by far. Food is amazing, staff always so friendly & the prices are great. I did read a bad review which is really sad & of course your food is not going to be piping hot when you are waiting on the delivery driver to get there. If you want a super breakfast then this is the place to go as they are second to none. Just to say thank you again for great food & service.

Quite a large selection on the menu! Including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.My partner and I had an all day breakfast, which we couldn't fault at all.Would definitely come here again.
