Tripadvisorā€™s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been here a few times before and the breakfast are simply the best I've had anywhere. I'm visiting on the last Wednesday of the eat out to help out scheme, which has frankly abused all staff in the food and drink industry with no reward. However the staff at cafƩ 119 work amazingly hard and are always friendly and proffesional even during this time and still delivered stop standard food to desperate customers. Cafe 119 is an example of how a higg street cafƩ should be done.

We love visiting the 119 cafe in Nailsea. Excellent value for money whatever time of day you visit with brilliant friendly staff. We were a group of 4 including a vegetarian. All well catered for from the varied menu. We have missed visiting here during lockdown but soon remembered how amazing it is! Breakfast was beautifully cooked & presented, delivered to our table with anything we needed. We all felt a good distance from the next group too which helps you to feel confident to revisit. Highly recommended but a good idea to book if youā€™re a larger group. Lots of covered outside seating too if you prefer.

Nice cafe, some thought had been put into the design and layout. Was very busy when we visited, had to wait for a table to be cleared before we could sit. We had to ask for menus and then wait for someone to take our order (about 10 minutes), then had 2 further waitresses ask in the 20 minutes that we waited for our drinks and the further 10 minutes for the food (they forgot the garlic mayo which we had to ask for). The sweet potato fries were really good and once we had the garlic mayo it was a great combination. The bacon sandwich was cooked well although the bacon could of done with being dabbed with a paper cloth before being put on the bread to save on all the grease. In all the food and drink was good and only let down by the service and attention to detail (napkins to wipe your hands).

Cafe 119 was starting to improve well since new staff in the beginning of the year from 1hr+ wait times for 1 coffee and 1 small meal and tables that were never clean or cleared. I avoided this place for a while because you would look at it walking by or think about returning and know although the food was great the service was painful. Unfortunately today seems to have either been another bad day to visit or just typical cafe 119 service. We ordered 2 coffees and 2 sausage baps, we knew what we wanted halfway to walking there. While ordering I was offered white or brown, which I thought was odd for a bap, and had to wait while the person serving me had to check with the kitchen. My order was not read back to me before payment. We were served 2 bacon sandwiches on brown bread, I simply asked at the bar if our order had been mixed up or changed. I was told they had run out of sausages and they thought I might have said bacon. I guess this was what had to be checked in the kitchen, if I looked dumb enough to get away with serving bacon because they hadn't cooked any sausages and didn't want to tell me for some reason. I was made to feel like it was somehow my fault by the rude and flustered manager. Definitely ivy kitchen or costa from now on. The wetherspoon around the corner has much better service too. Disappointed, again.

It was very busy but we found a table quickly. Odered a beverage and food and waited. The hot beverages came quite quickly, too quickly as the food was rather slow in arriving and consequently we had drunk our drinks by the time the food arrived which was not ideal. I wish cafes would get their act together and serve them at the same time. Having said that we had paninis and they were delicious and the small salad they came with was also delicious especially the Cole slaw. I was disappointed that staff were not wearing masks as was still the ruling at the time.

We visited for lunch and although the food was reasonable and served relatively quickly we were surprised that there was no mayonnaise available for the table. This is ironic as they are two minutes away from Iceland & Waitrose. Surely they could have bought some in knowing they had run out. One of the regular waitresses can be a little unfriendly on occasions, today she delivered our drinks order and didnā€™t say a word to us!

Went with my wife ,son and daughter for breakfast rather than wetherspoons as we thought it would be better quality, very disappointed to say there was nothing better. Definitely not value for money Ā£7 for a sausage, egg,piece of bacon, small pot of luke warm beans and a round of toast, tea or coffee extra. Will definitely not be going back. Must say that the staff were excellent so no problem with the service.

While awaiting my car being serviced we enquired about a local cafe and were given this recommendation. Rather happy we were as it was a good experience. Extremely good vegetarian breakfast (though personally I will never understand the need or use of avocado on such) and my wifes eggs benedict was also very good. I was taken aback when we saw the hot chocolate as it was very impressive. Pleasant and attentive staff, clean restaurant, very well priced. Happily visit again.

I cannot believe my experience this morning, a total shambles. All set for a nice breakfast and had my coffee delivered in about 15 minutes which was faster than usual. The food well.. I was waiting for over an hour.. People then came in after me, one table I heard they would be next to get there food, and and another actually received their food while I was still waiting. And that's only the tables I could see. Ask for a refund as it had put me off completely. There was no communication from staff to apologise for any delays and to give a reason. Even after the refund was given there was no reason given for this atrocious service. That's me done with the place.

A good-sized cafĆ© in the centre of Nailsea, it appears to occupy a couple of adjacent units and also has some outside seating for the warmer weather. I was only after a coffee and a cake, and the choice was a little disappointing perhaps, with just a small display case on the counter. There was only one sponge for example, a lemon drizzle, so if youā€™re after a Victoria or a Coffee & Walnut, youā€™ll be disappointed. I opted for the chocolate caramel shortbread, and this was a decent sized portion, although I would have preferred a bit more caramel and a bit less shortbread. Overall, pretty good though. The accompanying latte was pretty good, and service was pleasant and friendly. I weas a bit disappointed ion leaving to notice a ā€œCoffee and cake for Ā£5ā€ A-board outside when I had been charged Ā£5.65. Perhaps you have to ask for the offer, or one of my items wasnā€™t eligible, but it seems a bit misleading. Overall though, not a bad effort and Iā€™d happily return.

First time try this Cafe, last time for us! Long story short, my friend and I waited well over an hour for the food we ordered. Having asked a couple of times, the food finally arrived without the cutlery and one single apology. When asked why, as it was not overly busy and certainly it was not under staff, they blame the internet, because our order was submitted via scanning a QR code. We ordered drinks and food at the same time, drinks came out in approximately 10 mins but how come no food after waiting for over an hour? Given the internet issue being a genuine problem then the QR order system should have been withdrawn immediately if this's the case. We are old enough to know things do go wrong sometimes. These things do happen, so we do understand that delays can be caused. However, the real issue is the way how they deal with the problem and how they treat their customers. We all know that customer service is vital for all sorts of businesses, and for businesses in the hospitality industry, it is even more important. If this was the cafe I own, I'd first of all offer a very sincere apology and then I'd offer at least a complimentary drink. Sadly, reading from their body language, there wasn't even any attempt or intention to apologize. Well, that's it, we are done completely. This was our first visit and certainly is our last visit.

Had lunch here today with my Mum. Lovely place & staff were friendly. However, when you arrive you're met with nothing but this stonking big card on the table telling you to order via the QR code. I input our order & it came to Ā£25 odd. I am not a technical person but it kept asking me to verify payment with my fingerprint. I don't have anything set up to be verified by my fingerprint and I could not get past it. Then Mum noticed a sign on the wall (below 'mind the step") saying you can order at the til!!! Thank goodness. Ordered the exact same things & it was only Ā£20!!! How is that possible? I recommend eating here but ignore the 'App' and get a paper menu and order in personšŸ‘

Went to the Pizza, Burger night for a family meal. Six of us in total enjoyed five pizzas and a chicken burger : I mean seriously enjoyed. Good choice of pizzas and burgers cooked and presented to perfection. Good selection of drinks . Nice relaxed venue with first class service. Lived in Nailsea for 39 years, always enjoyed eating out and only now discovered Nailsea's hidden treasure.

We reserved a large table for Mothers Day. When we arrived there was no table big enough for us. Half the family had to sit on a different one away from us. It was packed and only had one waitress who was near to tears. The food took an hour and came out and then it came at different times. My Mum was unwell and her Mothers Day treat was a disaster. The owner offered for us to come back in and have a complimentary meal which was so kind. When we went back in he was far from inviting. He argued with us and was so rude. We will never be going there again!
