Farro Bakery

Have seen this on social media so not a find.... It is certainly worth a visit. Actually it is a must.... The cakes and coffee were excellent. Actually they were incredible. There are a range of breads freshly baked too. They were around 4 pounds per loaf. The cakes were different prices. Mine was 3.90 and truly amazing. Had the spice bun later and the butter they use is incredible I would say. The croissant was incredibly nice also. Here there is a very small number of seats inside and just outside. Service was helpful and prompt - plus it is very busy so the staff work very hard. They made my box up very well. Exquisite cakes and drinks to enjoy in central Bristol. Well worth getting up early.

My favorite place with amazing pastry and outstanding bread. I love their philosophy, hospitality and food quality. This combination makes me regular customer. You can get anything from their pastries and you will definitely enjoy it. I love babka, and how it is not too sweet, but caramelized on the outside and soft and fluffy inside with a hint of dark chocolate bitterness for balance. Pastel de nata is my go too as well. Not too sweet , with delicious vanilla bean flavor and crunchy crust. If you go earlier on weekend you can get special bakery items, which are worth to try too. I appreciate hard work of people who opened it and keep running, maintaining outstanding quality and service delivery throughout.

Where do I begin? Ah I know - with the flavour of course. I had heard a great deal about the best bakeries in Bristol and this place kept popping up, so of course being an avid baked good fans I ventured over there. Luckily it’s not far from my house (bonus!) so I walked over and explored the visual aspect of the place first, which is charming in size, and kind of hidden. From there I ordered the chocolate braided Babka which was very delicious, moist, and pretty sweet, and my partner ordered the spiced bun, Which was crispy and soft in places, with spiced sugar, alongside a bag of pastel de Nata and a couple of coffees. As I sat there munching into mine I was in sheer heaven. Simply gorgeous flavours coming out of this pastry and probably the best I’ve had anywhere. I tried my partners also and I was very impressed with the flavour of this also. Good quality coffee, and the pastel de Nata custard tarts were probably the best outside of Portugal. Get over there as early as you can to avoid disappointment, as it truly worth it.

GET HERE EARLY! You’ll thank yourself later. We popped down after 11am on a Friday and pastries were running very low so limited choice but I can totally see why because they are DELICIOUS. West Country aman was a really unique variation and the croissant crisps are innovative and so moreish! Very reasonable prices too. Good tea and coffee selection. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Scintillating pastries, particularly the plain croissant that was a perfect balance between crispy yet slightly moist and so tasty on its own, or with the addition of raspberry jam. Such lovely and genuine staff too, that welcome you warmly as soon as you walk through the door. 100% worth the 45 minute walk across the city. I can see why Farro is so highly esteemed. Perfection!

Best pastel de nata I ever had, but other things we tried were not as good. Quick service and friendly stuff as well

1 year update… we tried everything, yes everything, and have been back a few times. Still think Farro is best in the country. Even the coffee and hot chocolate are above expectation. New fear unlocked, what if they discontinue the blood orange one? What if i never taste it again? original review: Our thing is to try artisan bakeries around the place as we travel. This is the best one. It’s all about the perfect texture, they’ve really nailed the crispy with the soft. The flavours perfect. The coffee is perfect too. For bakery fans, I don’t recommend to just try when you’re in Bristol, I recommend you come to Bristol to try it.

Artisan quality pastries served with a smile. There is a wonderful authentic feel in the bakery as you get to watch the chefs bring out fresh delights. Not very good seating, understandably. Also, limited accessibility access due to the stairs, but I'm sure they may be able to accommodate service. On the more expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for here.
