S. C.

My mum and I went to Witherspoon first in Yate. It was filthy dirty, no choice of food for gluten free except jacket potato, even less choice for vegetarians/ vegan. We walked out and went to Boswell's. Wow what a difference, spotlessly clean amazing choice of food very friendly helpful staff the young man actually cleaned our table properly for us which was just great. Fantastic place will definitely go there again and again.

C. H.

G. N.

Always a friendly place to visit

D. S.

They seem to be making cut backs everywhere, which are impacting on the end product, a road to disaster if a credible option were to appear.....

J. W.

Bit dated now, food so so service can be very slow at peak times but most of the workers have a sense of humour, sometimes feel they need it.

J. S.

Always busy, nice coffees and snacks, nice staff who keep busy serving and clearing tables. So you can find a clear clean table.

M. K.

Nice food and friendly staff. Special thanks to Lesley. A lovely mug of tea too.

Limited vegan choice, but what there was, was delicious. "Roasted vegetable flat bread"

N. C.

The lady who served me was a great laugh

I stop quite often into Boswell's when I'm in Yate. It's got a little something for everyone and it's a good standard. Reasonable pricing and there's normally always a seat when I go.

Good simple food and in the centre of things

C. S.

Social distancing and table disinfecting poor coffee good

N. H.

Nice enough coffee shop in a busy shopping precinct, cakes and food etc. The problem is the coffee. Last time I was here, it was acrid and burnt, tasted like rubber, coffee remade, still awful. Condescending kid serving "would you like a less strong coffee?" Zero clue.

e. h. (.

Great selection and gluten free fryer!!!!

Great tasting coffee, plenty of seating and a nice atmosphere

W. M.

Cheapish and possibly cheerful but as l was with my friend (Warning now) namecheck inbound👍..........the singer Jessie,check her out😉😊 l was more interested in the conversation.Anyway! the coffee was drinkable,can't say that about everywhere,a very extensive menu,looks very clean and well run.l have been before,will go again,my only concern is it's definitely a place to visit with a friend not alone.l saw many happy or at least contented patrons enjoying their lattes or whatever but no singles,maybe a bit too expansive and pen for singletons.Only my opinion,as with other places l visit.......give it a go and enjoy.

Love the garden.

C. M.

Good menu, cleverly uses basic ingredients across the menu - so the baked potato filling will also be available as a sandwich etc. Excellent soups, served with croutons and a roll. The warm bacon and egg salad recommended. Very popular- busy - but staff work at full speed so not too long to wait. Terrific value.

Always a great place to meet friends and family. Breakfasts are fantastic, coffee perfect, staff are wonderful, and some known to us! Helpful, friendly, clean establishment, buzzing! Highly recommend

A.

I had a breakfast here last week. For the price I would expect more. It's just a posh café, that isn't posh but people think it is.

P.

I was there last weekend. As naturally, the place was full of people inside (it was on Sunday morning). With all, the staff was very friendly and the food was so tasty, specially our cheese chips. We'll come back soon.

P.

Love everything about Boswells. Service, prices, choices of good and drinks are all excellent.

P. T.

Food was very good, price menu was not displayed prior to the counter when ordering, and was quite noisy and difficult to hear the staff

C. L.

Good value ,and as you would expect, very busy. Food was standard but acceptable. Toilets were messy but not surprised because of shear volume of patrons.

l. B.

Always quick and polite service staff always tidy and give great service well done

D. C.

Good food, friendly staff

S. W.

I visit here regularly with my friend - an elderly lady in a wheelchair. Staff are always very friendly, polite and helpful, especially when it comes to assisting me with my friend. Good food and drinks, friendly and welcoming atmosphere - we both enjoy our trips to Boswell's Yate.

A. T.

Always nice. Staff are lovely

D. F.

Food good. But service is slow,noisy

m.

A nice place to have a coffee with friends. The staff were really friendly.

D. H.

Very good cafe. Always busy with pleasant and efficient staff. The food is good with a good selection to suit most peoples taste. Tables are cleared quickly and efficiently. Just what you want from a cafe.

K. B.

All day breakfast is amazing, staff happy to swap items if there's something you don't want. I had mushrooms instead of baked beans. Decent mug of tea as well, all for just over a tenner.

G. G.

I adore this outlet of the Boswell's chain particulaly for its staff. They're a diverse and friendly team, who look to provide a great cafe experience. Food is consistently fantastic and filling, making for a great end to an afternoon's shopping in Yate Center.

F. C.

Never fails to hot the spot! Lovely breakfast for us both. Good hot food and super friendly staff. Love it here!

J. B.

Nice spacious cafe with a varied menu including such things as potato skins and toasties. Loos are in the far corner to the right as you face the till.

A. M.

Boswells....... I've given up on life. (Great staff though).

B. B.

Fast paced but with a working system. Meals worth the price and comes with a nice atmosphere to catch up with friends. Only downside was the chips, which was very oily and dry.

M. L.

Always a great place for lunch. Food usual cafe standard however some elements of hot dishes were cold or only warm.....kitchen was quite busy as was the seating area......won't stop us going back however this is not our favourite branch.

T. S.

Great service, friendly staff.

J. S.

Food always good and nice to see plenty of staff. Cakes however are expensive.

P. D.

I had the all day breakfast it was perfect , my wife had the potato skins with cheese and onion she said they were fantastic, the service here is great,friendly and efficient staff make it a pleasure to visit

K. W.

Best place in yate to eat

M. H.

We had the best sausage and mushroom sandwich I’ve ever eaten here this morning. Fabulous service, lots of seating (although it can be noisy lunchtime) and good value. I must do it more often!

g. s.

Nice place seemed clean, but portion size was small for price, I had scrambled eggs on toast cost over 4 pounds, not really value for money but food was good

A. W.

Lovely coffee nice space

D. C.

Relaxed helpful staff, good very well presented and delicious especially paninis

J. M.

J. H.

Good sausage bap . Lovely coffee .

P. T.

Really good toasted ham and cheese panini. Quick polite service. Would recommend

G. D.

Prices seem to have gone up since last visit (summer 2020), but hasn't everywhere. Still nice and clean establishment. Still friendly staff, and reasonably busy for a lunch time.

M. v. R.

Amazing staff, best vibe, great service excellent food. Highly recommended.

A. D.

Always friendly staff in Yate no matter what time you are in here. Good selection of cakes, prices in line with all the others. Good size drinks, ideal place to go after shopping and good wheelchair access.

J. A.

Always a busy place, service is reasonably quick, one down side as a customer is it quite a lot of noisy chatter ( but I realise that if it is busy you get lots of banter) Food is good. Handly placed on tge center of Yate

T. F.

Brilliant place..love coming here. The food is always fresh and quick to arrive and the staff are so happy a d polite. Whether I come with my mum or my husband, we're always greeted with hello and enjoy a nice break in very clean surroundings. This store, yate, is a little gold mine for someone to reap the benefits and I hope the staff all receive a well deserved bonus now and again! Well done and thankyou....see you soon!

E. G.

Nice place with a good variety of food and drink choices. Good service and reasonable prices.

M. T.

Like the place and the staff friendly and attentive. Breakfast pretty standard.

D. G.

Excellent food, always consistent.

J. C.

Lovely staff and Food one complaint the NHS Track and Trace check in, I have been many times using it but customers say they have checked in when they haven’t your staff should ask to see the confirmation tick on there phone as they do in other restaurants we are in this together

N. A.

Boswell's is a nice Cafe. It is clean, the service is prompt and the majority of staff are lovely. Where I am marking it down is 2 areas, price and range of products. The price of the food products is high and isn't necessarily representative of the standard. The range of products is very poor for those on a vegetarian or vegan diet, I'd like to see a lot more alternatives to meat based products.

L. H.

Enjoyed my coffee and had a lovely club sandwich, which was so big I couldn't eat it all. The nice man behind the counter gave me a container so that I could take it home.

M. C.

Nice café in the centre of Yate shopping centre. Serves breakfasts, light lunches teas and coffees. Good, friendly service. Seating inside and out, toilets available.

J. S.

Love this place, superbly run, great food, great prices and the staff are fantastic. Ive moved away from Yate but still go back for a Bozzy's.

L. P.

Lovely food, well priced and large menu choices. Quite loud inside but lots of seats to choose from. Only reason it's got 4 stars is one member of staff was a little rude, but all the rest were lovely.

S. C.

Ordered 2 different coffees and we had these under the temporary awning which worked well for social distancing. Coffee was great and got the Eat out to help out discount too as a bonus.

S. D.

Always very busy, friendly staff and good knowledge of gluten free requirements. Loaded potato skins are amazing. Good variety of gluten free food hot and cold, and desserts.

J. M.

Good value for money. Food fresh. Excellent service and young staff well trained.

S.

Boswells is nice,clean,tidy with friendly staff who are always willing to help. Plenty of seating indoor/outdoor undercover. Food fresh well cooked and prices reasonable.

G. R.

Only had a drink which was ok

B. G.

Consistently reasonable food and friendly service. Spacious and comfortable environment 🙂

M. v.

Friendly, super fast and tasty food. Absolutely the best breakfast in town.

R. H.

A nice local cafe in the centre of Yate Shopping Centre. Food is reasonably priced and nice and they always do seasonal items too such as different hot chocolates at Christmas. Boswell’s offers ice cream & tango ice blasts which I find good in the summer as you can order them from the hatch without even going inside the cafe. Boswell’s is a nice little family cafe perfect for all ages. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

S. “. D.

Really busy, but order quickly taken & arrived within minutes. Friendly, helpful staff

S. S.

Very clean, handy location, good menu, Lovely friendly staff....what more can you ask for?

P. D.

Ok, although a bit like a cafeteria than a coffee shop. Clean and well kept.

A. L.

Brilliant hot, fresh all day breakfast. Recommend adding fried bread and mushrooms. Plenty of food.

l. f.

It was nice just a bit disorganised and very loud

D. C.

Great staff, food and service but the coffee was luke warm (latte mug). Even if you ask for it hot it’s no different. A real shame because otherwise it’s a great place.

C. M.

Nice food and coffee friendly staff slightly overpriced

L. M.
