New Japanese cafe and deli to open in Bristol next month

A new Japanese café and deli is set to open on Gloucester Road by the end of next month.

Lonely Mouth specialises in Japanese Soul Food, and their past menus have included small plates like Sweet Bread Karaage and Oxtail Gimmari, Donburi Rice Bowls and Ramen dishes.

This will be their first permanent venue after successful popular pop-up locations, including the Plough in Easton, the Volunteer Tavern in St Jude’s and Kitchen by Kask on North Street.

The venue, which will also sell records, will open at 401 Gloucester Road, Bristol, BS7 8BW, which was recently home to Burra until it moved to North Street.

In an Instagram post, Lonely Mouth founder Olivia Maxwell-Yates shared: "It’s been in the making for a couple of months now but @lonelymouthuk has a permanent home!

"Right now we’re just in the building/painting/decorating stage but we’re hoping to be open at the end of May.

"Think Japanese cafe/deli, records, coffees, matcha and more. Can’t wait to update you all on how it’s going and to see all your lovely faces once we open. Big love. To no more lonely mouths!”
