Quick info
About Roots + Seeds Cafe Kitchen Gloucester Food Docks
Roots + Seeds Cafe Kitchen Gloucester Food Docks is a cafe on Commercial Rd in Gloucester, set down narrow steps by the main dock with views of the historic docks. Many of its vegetables come from the kitchen garden at the team's sister restaurant in Cirencester, and the menu follows the seasons. Breakfast includes a full English with a black pudding add-on, and poached eggs arrive with salmon and salsa verde. At lunch, the kitchen makes sandwiches, including salt beef, and coffee is served with latte art. A cocktail menu extends the offer beyond the daytime food. Guests can sit in the indoor dining room, and dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. One diner found an English breakfast dry and overcooked, with bacon and bread overdone, poached rather than fried egg and odd-smelling beans, and only the sausage was good. A vegan reviewer found no protein alternative like sausage or tofu, only an egg removed and a hash brown added. Another missed comfy chairs and outdoor cushions. A couple mention the café is tricky to find from the main street, down narrow steps to the main dock, and one reviewer said it was worth persevering.

“Overnight stop in town so asked Google to find me great place for healthy breakfast. Brisk walk from digs and here I am. Lovely staff, very helpful. Went for the poached eggs with salmon and salsa Verde with cup of tea. Perfect. 10/10. Oh, the café is tricky to find from the main street but persevere. Walk all the way down the narrow steps to the main dock at the bottom and you'll see it. Well worth persevering. Thanks.”

Very disappointed. ☹️ I did not said anything the day because I was rushing to get to the bus stop in time and Also I was with my son I did not want complain in front of him.”

“Really enjoyed my bacon roll and flat white on Friday. Good value for £7.50 too. Only critism is a lack of comfy chairs. We sat outside and I had to improvise with a blanket on my chair as there were no outdoor cushions.”
- Clare W
“Fabulous (and reasonablely priced ) cream teas for most of our party. One person sampled soup of the day - celeriac and something soup - also delicious. Started in the sunshine on the terrace and finished inside to escape unseasonsal rainstorm. Both very comfortable. Super friendly staff. We will be back!”
