About

The Tobacco Factory is a large, contemporary cafe bar in south Bristol, at the heart of a bustling community.

The cafe serves a vegetarian menu, which is all made on the premises using locally sourced ingredients with as much as possible coming from their Five Acre Farm in Backwell, as well as other suppliers from the region.

Choose from a large selection of freshly-ground coffee, beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, including a choice of organic and fair-trade options. Don’t miss their range of craft beers, from some of the best independent breweries in the South West.

The cafe also serves a veggie & vegan brunch menu on Sundays from 10am – 3pm, with roasts and other delicious seasonal mains 12-8pm. 

There's also an extensive outside space which gets the afternoon sun in the summer, and the covered terrace has its own bar which is open for special events, of which there are many throughout the year.

Children are welcome in the Cafe Bar (with the exception of the stage area) until 9pm. High chairs and baby changing facilities are available.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

Accessibility

The Cafe Bar is fully wheelchair accessible from the front and rear of the building. Disabled toilets can be found on all floors.

Sustainability

The cafe is a proud member of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, a community of businesses working towards an environmentally restorative and socially progressive UK hospitality sector. Ingredients are mostly sourced from their
