★★★★☆ 4.0 Bailey · Dec 2025

The atmosphere and cozy environment is what makes Empire Tea & Coffee so lovely. Right on the water with a gorgeous sunset view, this spot is perfect to enjoy a hot bevvy with a friend. The lavender latte was good but the service & setting were what really stood out. The baristas were friendly and attentive.

Cute little coffee shop near the water in Bristol. Lots of coffee drink options, some breakfast options as well. Nice view of the bay and available seating.

I’m obsessed with Empire Tea and Coffee. I love their seasonal coffee flavors, Matcha lemonade, and iced teas. The ambiance of the location is perfect as is the inside of the cafe. Please try this local business. You’ll love it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jack Furlong · Jul 2025

Empire tea and coffee is a cute little spot to hit in Bristol to begin your morning. They offer all kinds of drinks a long with pastries and a variety of breakfast sandwiches and a killer avocado toast. The seating inside is somewhat crammed having only booths for 2 people but there is a tiny patio that has seating if you are going with a larger crowd. Staff was very nice and even remake a drink for me because they got the order wrong. Thank you!

Excellent coffee! Take away works best, almost no place to sit. Our lattes were delicious. Nice friendly, quick service.
