Best coffee in town, plus amazing waffles and the nicest service. I love the historical building they are in. Plenty of parking at the back or on the street. And beautiful wooden tables to sit and eat at.

I am from out of town and was in the area to run a couple of errands in the area and was looking for a local owned coffee shop to visit and came here and I was very happy. I ordered a coffee and a tea and they were both amazing

Stopped by on my lunch break to grab a soup special of the day. - tomato basil soup with pesto grilled cheese! It was delicious! Price was around $9-$10 and it was FILLING! I can eat the rest later I am so full. The location is beautiful as well being in the renaissance building. Keep up with the specials on Instagram or Facebook as they are amazing! 1st time there and definitely coming back!

Best coffee shop in Bristol! The coffee is delicious! They know how to make coffee and espresso, and the non-dairy milk is always steamed to perfection. The Wondering Waffles are fantastic. They are gluten-free, but you would never know it! Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful with questions; it's always very clean.

This place is pretty cool. Awesome vibe. Service was quick and excellent. And the coffee was very good. I got a dirty chai latte and it was one of the best. Wish I wouldn’t have eaten before I came so I could try their waffles. This place is worth the short trip off of state street.

There was a write up in the paper about this place so four of us decided to go there for lunch. The food was excellent. I selected the special of the day, Thai pulled pork over rice with an egg roll. It was topped with fresh shredded cabbage and carrots. The meat was tender and flavorful. The rice was the right amount of sticky. The egg roll was crisp and hot. Two in my group got salads. They were large and fresh. One ordered the chicken salad on croissant. The bread was large and fresh with plenty of chicken salad on it. The strawberry basil lemon was delicious. The hot caramel apple cider was amazing. There are gluten free options, including waffles. There is a case of ready to eat items or you can order from the menu and the items will be made to order. There is parking behind the building.

This fabulous coffee shop is inside a beautifully repurposed warehouse with several other businesses. Coffee is excellent, there are yummy sandwiches on croissants, waffles, and many other kinds of drinks, and comfortable sitting spaces in a elegant atmosphere.

Whimsicals did an excellent job not only making some of the best tasting coffee and quiche I've had, but catering to my celiac disease. The gluten free bread was wonderful!

Great coffee shop hidden too well in an office building. The service was great, and the mini waffles are fantastic. May have just been the person who made mine, but I prefer a crispy, thin waffle, and this one delivered. There are lots of toppings options and great drink choices. Hours are limited, so I will be back when I can.

What a hidden gem of a place! Absolutely loved it! Their decor was really “wow”. Beautiful wooden tables. No bright lights. Great accommodating staff. And lovely coffee selections. We will surely be back! This is what a coffee shop should be! Well done!
