Bath-based speciality coffee house and artisan bakery Mokoko will be making its first foray into Bristol’s vibrant food and drink scene when it opens at Wapping Wharf in early June.
The new venture will be located along Gaol Ferry Steps just off Cumberland Road at Wapping Wharf. It will include an open-plan bakery where visitors will be able to see everything from fresh bread to home-made cakes baked in front of them, as well as a speciality quality coffee offering.
In addition to indoor seating, there will also be seating outside on the terrace in front of Mokoko for visitors looking to soak up the summer sunshine.
Jake Harris, founder and managing director at Mokoko, said: “We are thrilled to be joining the new Wapping Wharf community. When we heard about this new quarter at the very heart of the cultural and leisure hub of the city, and with a strong focus on independent food and drink, we knew it would be the perfect fit for us.”
“Mokoko is proud to be an independent retailer with an ethos focused on providing high-quality coffee and baked goods, as well as excellent service. We can’t wait to welcome our first customers into Mokoko at Wapping Wharf in just a matter of weeks.”
Mokoko already has two coffee houses in Bath and has been trading for five years.
Wapping Wharf will also be home to Cargo, Bristol’s first ever retail hub made of converted shipping containers. There are also plans for Cargo 2, a second retail hub, also with an independent food and drink focus.
