Beautiful, spotlessly clean and refreshingly different cafe run by a very friendly, welcoming team, with dedicated tables for well-behaved dogs - a firm favourite with our two labradors. Great coffee (and bubble tea if that's your thing) , fantastic cakes (try the steamed buns - pineapple or custard - like eating a sweet puffy cloud...) or if you're lucky enough to arrive around lunchtime, the chow mein dishes are just fantastic. Our favourite cafe in the area by some margin. Love it!

What a fabulous cafe Apple Pink is. The staff are so lovely, they are extremely welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing, beautifully presented and freshly cooked. Lovely atmosphere and really clean. Set on the corner of the high street in Knowle. Whether you are looking just for a cup of coffee and a quick snack. Or something a little more substantial, Apple Pink is definitely worth visiting.

Absolutely loved our visit to Apple Pink in Knowle. We found it completely by chance and what a brilliant surprise. The place is spotless, bright and spacious, with such a relaxing feel. The staff are amazing, so friendly and full of energy, you can tell they really care about the place and the customers. I had the crispy chicken burger which was fresh, crunchy and full of flavour, and the coffee and bubble tea were both fantastic. It’s rare to find somewhere that does coffee, food and bubble tea all this well under one roof. A real gem in Knowle and we’ll 100% be back for the chow mein next time!

A true hidden gem! This cozy cafe offers a delightful range of bites, from spring rolls to a few noodle dishes. We visited as a family, and the kids absolutely loved the bubble fruit tea (the best they have had apparently —and they have tried plenty!). Hubby enjoyed his gingerbread latte, describing it as “a proper coffee,” a step up from the usual chain cafes. We initially ordered fried dumplings and chicken noodles to share, but the noodles were so tasty we could not resist adding the Singapore vermicelli too. Perfect portions and packed with flavour! Overall, a fantastic cafe—if you are nearby, don’t miss it!

Gorgeous little cafe & plant shop run by a very beautiful young lady. I wish I lived closer - I'd be there every day!
