The menu
Everything is vegan and most of it is made from scratch in the kitchen. Busy times can mean a 20 to 30 minute wait for food.
Breakfasts
A fully vegan full English, tofu scramble and smashed peas on sourdough.
Breakfast is what most reviewers come back for. Amy Collins had never eaten a fully vegan full English before and called it “SO good”. Jessie Ayles recommends the pancakes with vegan bacon and maple syrup, and the tofu scramble with garlic mushrooms on sourdough. Sarah Masters says the smashed peas on toast, with crisp aubergine, grated carrot and seeds, was the best breakfast she’d had in a long time.

Toasties and sandwiches
The “chikun” Reuben toastie, the sausage sandwich and a vegan butty.
Frankie Thompson-Attwell’s “chikun” Reuben toastie came with rosemary salted chips and was “as big as my head and very filling”. The sausage sandwich is mentioned in 11 reviews, and Jessie Ayles rates the vegan butty and the hash browns too. Portions come up again and again as generous for the price.

Cakes and sweet things
Vegan cakes and brownies, to eat in or take away.
Cakes come up in 16 reviews and the brownie in four. Aaron and Chris had just eaten a big dinner when they found Kino and still took a couple of sweet treats back to their hotel: “So delicious.” Ask at the counter what’s baked today.

Coffee and loose-leaf tea
Fairtrade, organic coffee from a Bristol roaster and tea in a pot.
The coffee is fairtrade and organic, roasted locally in Bristol, with oat, almond or coconut milk. Loose-leaf teas, from rooibos to jasmine to ayurvedic herbal blends, come in a pot with a basket so you can brew it the way you like, and you can ask for a refill. The turmeric latte gets a mention in four reviews.

Smoothies are blended in-house, the fridges hold sparkling juices and soft drinks, and there are local beers, cider and wines for the evening. Kino is open until 9pm every day, so it works as well for dinner and a drink as it does for breakfast.
