May proved to be a bittersweet month for Bristol’s food and drink lovers. While several cherished venues shut their doors for good, one popular milk tea brand delivered a welcome surprise—its return from the dead.
Among the restaurants, bars, and cafes that closed was Paco Tapas, a once Michelin-starred restaurant known for its deep Spanish heritage. Its sudden closure left a notable gap in Bristol’s culinary scene. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the team expressed gratitude to customers and staff, calling it the end of an unforgettable chapter.
Yet, as the city said farewell to long-standing favorites, fans of a well-loved milk tea cafe were delighted to see it make a surprise comeback. Although details remain limited, the revival has already created a buzz among locals who had previously queued for hours just to get a taste.
This milk tea brand, known for its creative flavors and stylish interior, had quietly closed earlier this year, prompting disappointment from its loyal following. Its return injects fresh hope into Bristol’s cafe culture, especially as quirky spots—like the unique Edwardian-toilet-turned-cafe—find themselves listed for sale.
As closures continue to impact Bristol’s vibrant food scene, the milk tea comeback reminds us that some flavors are just too loved to fade away.
