I come to BTP on Whiteladies quite often because it is consistently excellent for tea, coffee and food, which is locally sourced. The ambience is nice, you can read a book or work at your laptop quite happily not noticing the hours tick by, while enjoying the coffee and awesome cakes. If you're after something more substantial to eat then... More

Great coffee in this independent small chain of coffee shops which started right here in Bristol. The accompanying cakes and pastries are wonderful and so much better than any of he big chains. Lunchtime snacks are also good and the service always comes with a friendly smile.

When I arrived in Bristol some 20 years ago the Boston Tea Party on Park Street was a regular haunt. Great to have an outlet on Whiteladies and a preferred choice from the High Street regulars that are so formulaic. Would rather support an independent coffee shop than the multinationals that seem to be coerced to pay their company taxes!... More

I would like to recommend Boston Tea Party, Whiteladies Rd, to all you tea drinkers out there. The selection of tea is excellent and I don't think you can get good quality tea in a pot for under £2 in Bristol.

I have visited all of the Boston tea party venues in Bristol, and this was by for the worst. My observations: - Staff didn't seem to know what they were doing, service very slow and disorganised even though there were about seven staff on. No one seemed to be in charge. - One guy couldn't even find a mug for... More

never fails to please. we have eaten in three of the outlets dotted around bristol and the quality of the food and service remains the same.plenty of choice, some great fresh teas to choose from. it has an old school feel set up,lots of striped back wood and exposed brickwork.the takeaway choice is good too
