The White Elephant Coffee Shop

A Community Hub with a Thai Twist

Nestled amidst the charming Victorian courtyard in Kingswood, Bristol, The White Elephant is more than just a restaurant and coffee shop. It's a welcoming community hub, where friends and families gather to enjoy traditional English fare with a delightful Thai twist.

Our Story

Driven by a shared love for delicious food and a warm, inclusive atmosphere, we took the helm of this delightful little cafe in December 2019. The unique name, "White Elephant, " instantly captivated us. In various cultures, elephants hold profound significance-symbolizing peace, beauty, and prosperity. We believe this spirit perfectly captured the essence of our vision for the cafe.

Passionate About Food and Community

Our head chef, Jit, is a culinary artist with a deep-seated passion for traditional home-made food and a flair for incorporating unique Thai flavors into classic dishes. Our menu offers something for everyone, from traditional English breakfasts and lunches to mouthwatering Thai dishes and delightful kid's meals.

A Welcoming Space for All

Beyond the delicious food, The White Elephant offers a warm and inviting space to gather. The cafe boasts high ceilings, a cozy atmosphere, and stunning urban greenery. We have both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for a casual coffee catch-up, a leisurely breakfast, or a special event.

Events and Private Bookings

The White Elephant is available for private hire on evenings and weekends, perfect for celebrations, business meetings, or any special event. Our dedicated team will work with you to ensure that your event is a success.
