Freshly Ground - South Gloucestershire

Freshly Ground is a cozy coffee shop located on Downend High Street. With a peaceful atmosphere, homey decor, and a great variety of drinks to choose from, it is a pleasant place to relax. Although their opening times may not be accurate (they closed earlier than posted), they stand out among local competitors by offering the most comfortable and inviting facilities. The wooden aesthetics add to the charm of the place.

Nice café located in Downend, situated among a row of shops. Enjoy sitting by the window and people-watching. I ordered my Espresso at the bar and it was brought to me. It even came with a tasty biscuit, which is a rare treat in the UK. Overall, a pleasant experience at Le Tout Downend.

Good value, friendly staff, so many menu choices. Love the coffee here, best place on Downend High street by far.

Great little coffee shop laid back atmosphere, friendly servers and quick service. Always nice to pop in for a quick break during the working day.

Another sunny January day, but with a bitingly-cold breeze, meant the 25 minute stroll to Downend called for a much-needed post-walk hot drink. Downend has at least three eateries in the High Street where you can get a reasonable coffee and we chose this one. It was not very busy and we were able to sit in a window seat (always good to watch the world-go-by). We studied the menu displayed on a big blackboard: coffee was a must, so two Americo with hot milk. Also an Eggs Benedict for me as I wanted a small snack for lunch; as it was just on 12:30. My partner decided she would forego lunch in pursuit of her ongoing diet. The interior of the café is pleasant with Chesterfield-style sofa(s), plants and wall art. The large photo of the High Street was very interesting and I would love to know when the photo was taken. I lived in Downend between the ages of 2 and 7, and I recall some of the town as it was. This café operates an ‘order-at-the-counter’ service but food is served to tables. It was not a long wait for the food and it was bigger than expected. The muffin had been sliced in half and two beautifully poached eggs were placed on top, together with a small slice of slice of smoked salmon and then a good Hollandaise sauce was poured on top. The addition of two potato hash browns (as specified on the menu) turned this snack into a bit more than I probably needed. The meal was excellent and coffee was good (but my partner’s preference is for very strong and bitter coffee; and this coffee wasn’t as strong enough).
