Nice but with room for improvement - Edit
Cafe Kino moved location a few months ago just a few yards away now onto Stoke's Croft main road. The tables and chairs there remind me of being back at school somewhat but also has stools with a bar style shelf by the windows which is nice to watch the world go by. The staff are friendly and prompt (some which are volunteers I gather) and generally seem to keep the place tidy. The food is lovely and would highly recommend trying the cakes there, the menu is limited I feel with seemingly only veggie burger and sausages being the main options from time to time not that it really bothers me anyway. The salad I had was covered in some dressing which I was not fond of, so to have it as an option in a bottle or a small bowl would of better. Over all, a nice place to chill and eat vegan food!

Pleasantly bohemian - Edit
Bohemian atmosphere in decidedly 'funky' part of town made this an OK cafe experience, but not one for a particularly special meal. We all had burgers and chips. I quite liked mine, but my wife thought the burger under-cooked and an unnecessary amount of dressing on the salad. Our daughter laid into it all without complaint. I had emailed ahead to book an entire chocolate cake and THAT was very nice indeed, well recommended. The cooked meal selection seems rather limited but the cafe type snacks and drinks looked good and all was reasonably priced (though no bottled water available when we were there, very poor). The atmosphere was fairly groovy and decidedly laid back behind the serving counter. A pleasure to be in an all vegan establishment, but they could perk it up a little and still not lose their independent stylee.

Cool, hip and vibrant - Edit
What a find this place was, I love the arty feel to it, the location, the interior and the mural at the side of the building. A fantastic package. We had the vegan breakfast and a mexican burrito type meal which were both filling, well presented and good value. The pick of the seats are at the front overlooking the street. A very interesting place with a cool vibrancy about it.

Best muffins! - Edit
I've been here quite a few times now, mostly for a fried breakfast and they are very good indeed, and also very filling. I always have to fit some cake or a muffin in as well. Probably the best I've ever tasted. And everything is vegan! Though they do offer cows milk with tea (I wouldn't bother).
Read moreThe atmosphere is relaxed and no nonsense, the only downfall is the stairs if you've a small child, and definately not wheelchair friendly.
Pros: Amazing Cakes, A co-op, All vegan
Cons: Stairs, Positioning

Healthy junk food heaven - Edit
As a lover of so-called junk food I was delighted by my Spicy Kino Burger and the homemade chips that another reviewer has also praised highly. The Trouble 'n' Strife enjoyed her falafal dish too, and we shared a gorgeous choc cake for pud. Shame they'd run out of pancake mix (slightly bemusing, cos' it doesn't need much to make vegan pancakes, but oh well) and hearing the chefs chatting in the kitchen whilst I was in the loo made me smile. Sweet staff, and a constant stream of young funky things of a Saturday lunchtime made it a fun visit. I can understand what the other reviewer means about laid back staff and 'dirty' but it didn't bother us, perhaps adding further dollops of relaxed Saturday for us. Would definitely return. Often. With friends, after a heavy night out for vegan BLT probably.
Read morePros: Great burger & chips, Fonnnnky, All vegan (except milk in drinks option)
Cons: Loo too close to kitchen..., Not much seating near daylight, Ran out of pancakes!

Very cool Vegan punk place! - Edit
Make sure you walk up the left hand side of the hill as you approach the street Kino is on. On the opposite side there are some sad characters that can be a little unnerving to some. Once inside place your order at the front, and either eat at the little bar if you'd like to look out the window or go downstairs and explore the large seating areas. The chef and everyone there were extremely nice and even customized my order for some healthy vegan food. A BLT with non fried vegbacon and mustard instead of vegan mayo and it was really fabulous! The ingredients, bread/tomato, etc were all really fresh and made a simple sandwich really worth the trip from Bath!
Read morePros: good food, lots of seating, very nice

Love this place! - Edit
Kino is fantastic - good size portions, run as a co-op, incredibly friendly and good service. I've been about 4 times now on various trips and not had a bad time (even when I accidentally poured half a bottle of vinegar over my chips by accident!). Especially reccommended are the hand made chips (skins on!) and the choclate cake. Am heading back next month and that's a pretty long trip from Liverpool!
Read morePros: Portion size, Quality of food, Friendliness of staff

Amazing! - Edit
Really creative vegetarian/vegan food. Lots of options and absolutely beautiful presentation. The desserts were incredible as well. Quite expensive, but I would definitely recommend for a date/special occasion/impressing visiting family.

i went to bristol for a day and came to this place twice, such a good atmosphere and great food. best vegan chocolate cake i've had in a restaraunt. it's pretty small when you walk in but has a good number of seats downstaira (25 at a guess) so don't be put off if you see a small room when you walk in.

scrummy - Edit
We went here for lunch on a trip to Bristol. We nearly didnt eat here as we looked in the window & there was no decent seating so we walked away & then I looked at the board and seen there was seating downstairs. Im glad we did. We had the Spicy bean burger with chips & salad. Spinach & butternut squash pie with chips & salad. The chips are homemade & it was all very tasty.

Great, laid-back, vegan cafe - Edit
Brilliant, friendly, attitude free cafe in a central location (five minutes from where I live!!) All food is vegan and is tasty and fun. It's good, solid food not fancy 'mucked about' stuff and the muffins are to die for. Run, I think, as a co-operative and well worth supporting.
Read morePros: All vegan, Laid back atmosphere, Has alcohol too
