The Pear Cafe

The Pear café is quite well hidden, from the busy Cabot Circus and Stokes Croft crowds, despite being smack in the middle between them both. From the first look at the café, it feels like a place that will serve fresh, healthy and wholesome food, which quite excites me as I love healthy eating.
They serve sandwiches and baguettes here with tonnes of different fillings– I could have taken a good few minutes to read through all the options, which is always a good thing! They also provide salad boxes, for those who don’t feel like a lunch with some sort of bread as the main bulk of it! Fresh daily soups are available, as are fair trade coffees and teas.
They are famous for their butterscotch and chocolate brownies, which when I arrived, just came out of the oven, and looked quite divine. I decided to try their hazelnut and raisin flapjack and it was very nice and tasted homemade, which is what I love in a flapjack.
This is a really good café, who’s ethics I really like and look for in cafes around Bristol. However I found that the staff could have reflected this a tad more, by being abit friendlier and more welcoming. Do pop in and try your work lunch here– you’ll be guaranteed a happy healthy tum. Perhaps when I popped in, they were just having a bad day.

This place is small and hidden away in a part of town that’s hardly the most fashionable of areas. However, it will give anywhere in the most up-​market parts of Bristol a run for their money for a good quality sandwich.
The fillings range from the run of the mill to the not quite so (I’d never even known there was such a think as jerk mayonnaise before). The sandwiches are fresh, the range is rapidly changing, it’s all delicious. Basically, they take the simple task of making something to fill you up at lunch and make something of an art of it.
It’s amusing to think that not so far away in Broadmead there are people queueing up for lifeless supermarket sandwiches. The Pear Café is a gem of a place and if you work within twenty minutes of it a worth the journey to pick up some lunch.
