Reviews of Bridges Espresso Bar
L. L.
My friends and I stumbled across this lovely cafe when we were in Bedford for a gig. I recommend the frappe..really refreshing.
Decent seats and tables outside and inside.
Staff very helpful and polite.
Toilet facilities were great
F. C.
Had a couple of drinks after a visiting the town central
Drinks were nice, the Facilities were clean and the eating areas staff were pleasant
Well worth and stop if you in the area next to the river
P.
Great place for coffee and cake and they serve the most amazing food. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended
S. C.
Managed to find a table on a Friday night without booking, frozen watermelon sugar cocktail was amazing but my partner’s mojito was not very strong. Nice and air conditioned to great place to be in a heat wave!
J. A.
Who's idea was paneer and chicken on chips? Genius and was absolutely delicious.
Coffee really good here. Nice place to sit if you want.
S. S.
My wife and I arrived at Bridges this morning without booking a table, this was not a problem as we were accommodated by the staff without question. My wife ordered the multi seed sourdough bread. However when it arrived it was clearly not sourdough. When my wife pointed this out to Alice and Retina two of the servers, Alice was very apologetic and she immediately offered to change the order. My wife declined as she didn't want to make a fuss. When we received our bill from Retina she informed me my wife's order had been removed and was given free of charge. This I deem as excellent customer service. After a previously disappointing visit to Bridges, this level of customer service in my opinion is paramount for a successful business to thrive and will ensure a regular flow of happy customers.
Having dined for breakfast before at the Albero lounge and eaten their classic favourite Shakshuka, it was interesting to see that Bridges have now updated their menu to include this popular dish.
I felt compelled to order the Shakshuka only to compare the two in presentation and taste. My conclusion when comparing the two dishes was that both delivered on taste and presentation and I would not hesitate to order the Shakshuka from either in the future. If I really wanted to nit pick, I would have to say the I would prefer my Shakshuka to be serviced with ciabatta bread. However overall in my opinion both dishes were a success!!!!
I took my wife to Bridges this morning for breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful, and Sian was attentive to are needs as usual. Bridges had a varied breakfast and brunch menu at what we felt were reasonable prices. I ordered 'the meadow' which was nice twist on a traditional English breakfast/brunch. For a relaxed and friendly atmosphere then Bridges is right up your street.
Once again we attend Bridges for breakfast and once again they pull out all the stops!!! This is how an eggs benedict should be presented. Pen and Cob take note!!
31/5, We arrived at Bridges around 10.30 where breakfast was still being served. However having spoken to our server who was very polite and helpful, she said it was fine to order from the lunchtime menu. So I decided to order the Lebanese shredded lamb flat bread with roasted peppers. I was not disappointed with my choice. The lamb was very tender, nicely spiced and seasoned perfectly with a nice touch of pomegranate seeds scattered across the top to add a touch of sweetness and luxury. Another pleasurable visit. Compliments to the chef!!!
P. S.
Went for some drinks and they were really nice. Also a great service. Must visit for some food as it looked delicious (on other tables ;) )
K. R.
Bridges Espresso bar has become our new favourite over the past few months.
The staff are always friendly and the food lovely.
I organised a catch up with a group of 14 friends and Beckie, Sam & the team were excellent. The food was brilliant and catered well for both our vegetarians and gluten free members.
The service was faultless and we were well looked after even though they were extremely busy and it was a Saturday night.
S. r.
First time going to Bridges as I never normally have time to dine out. Lovely breakfast and although I thought it was pricey when the plate came out it was well worth it. Friendly Staff and a nice ambience environment. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Well done guys as it’s hard to get a balance of everything 🥰
D. S.
Tasty, good food. Brunch- quick service. Child friendly menu options
K.
They have some nice things on the menu and coffee was great. Watermelon iced tea didn't taste anything like watermelon though. Lovely ambience and upbeat music. They even have a dinner menu and do drinks in the evening.
F. 1.
Excellent food, pleasant staff, lovely location and very clean and tidy throughout. A great independent cafe/bistro/bar. Breakfast was delicious, locally sourced, quality meat and eggs poached perfectly.
B. H.
Nice surroundings, drinks were good, however took over 15 minutes to arrive. We were refused an Affogato after 9pm because apparently you need a chef to scoop ice cream. In fairness the Affogato was listed as a desert, however any decent coffee shop should realistically be able to serve one of these without an issue. Especially as they were serving complex alcoholic milkshakes and cocktails. It shouldn’t have really been an issue and the staff seemed quite dismissive about it. 🤷🏻♂️
R. R.
Excellent service and top waitress Anna is so kind, considerate and welcoming, always goes above and beyond normal service, has time for the customers. Also all staff are extremely helpful and wonderful manners.
J. M. (.
Excellent cafe with the biggest selection of drinks I've seen anywhere, great service, a wide variety of fresh cakes & pastries and an outstanding location overlooking the river. This is a must-visit venue for any day in Bedford.
J. H.
A popular coffee shop with a nice view to watch the world go by. There's a good selection of teas and coffees as well as delicious cakes presented to a high standard. Meals are similarly well presented and tasty, if a little expensive. It's convenient for visiting the Harpur Centre for shopping or for a walk along the river.
L. W.
Lovely gentlemen that served us. We had a dog and he said we could go inside and he came over with a dog bowl. Absolutely perfect service and nice and personable
k.
been here a couple times now, it is a very lovely environment with amazing staff!! loved both the food and drinks :) will be coming again
A. T.
Been here twice, for evening tapas and cocktails and for afternoon coffee and cake, in both occasions very good service and food. I particularly liked the coffee and carrot cake. Great addition to Bedford Riverside.
T. M.
The restaurant is situated in an ideal position facing the Bedford River...the food was of high standard and plenty of options...the staff we're friendly and helpful in every respect..l would definitely recommend
L. H.
Great little find!! We went for brunch and were not disappointed - fantastic service, best Eggs Benedict I've had a in a long time and lovely decor. Coffee was superb. I just moved to Bedford from London and this place is up there with all my faves. Dog-friendly too which is a bonus.
N. W.
Fantastic independent cafe/bar. Friendly staff and efficient service. Delicious food made with locally sourced ingredients and nice portion sizes. Eggs benedict with bacon and crispy onion was fab!
n. d.
Nice location just of the park ..with ample seating inside and out .Air conditioning inside helped on a very hot day . Great place to catch up for a coffee..or having a meal in the evening ..
S. K.
Bridges never disappoints! Whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner there is something for everyone and trust me I have been enough times to have EVERYTHING on the menu! The sharing boards in particular are great for when there’s a group of you and you simply cannot decide what you want for the mouthwatering menu! The cocktails are beautifully and carefully prepared! The strong addiction to the salted caramel espresso martini is insane! It’s the perfect place to stop for a quick coffee and cake but also for a night out with friends for some cocktails! It caters for all! The staff are always happy to help and a credit to the business! Thank you Bridges! ♥️
P. C.
Friendly staff, Great atmosphere, awesome cakes and brilliant coffee. What more could you want
S. S.
Friendly, amazing food and service. Good prices also
M. C.
really like this place evertime me and my partner have been here it’s been really good always tasty food I would highly recommend giving this place ago if you live in or visit Bedford
R. Q.
Absolutely great food and service. The croissant was crispy and fluffy. Coffee was rich in taste. Will come again
S. B.
Food is absolutely delicious, good portions and super tasty. Lovely staff and great coffee. Really love the interior. Great work guys.
M. B.
Had breakfast, which was expensive and unfortunately didn't quite meet the expectations. Some items on full English were cold and not very well cooked, and pancakes came with little to no syrup. Staff were very friendly though and it's in a great location, okay for coffee, but wouldn't eat here again, shame really.
J.
I come here sometimes to work, can’t fault the place - food is delicious, staff friendly and helpful. Great menu food/drinks. Highly recommend!!
v. r.
Really nice little hidden gem, we went for afternoon tea which is pricier than others in bedford but for a good reason. The food and drinks were amazing and very nice attentive staff.
S. J.
My favourite place! love everything about it. Great food, coffee & the most amazing cocktails. Great little spot in bedford!
L. P.
The food was delicious and the service was great. They were so attentive and friendly. The location by the river was perfect.
W. M.
Really refreshing nice cafe/bar. Nice drink options and great vibe in here. The location is good too. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Cons:
The tables are very sticky.
Ordered gluten free bread with olive oil expecting it to be perhaps baguette with oils / butter / balsamic and it was literally loaf toast bread with olive oil. I had a bite it and almost gagged. Nonetheless , the staff were very helpful and immediately replaced it with something else.
H. C.
Found this gem while staying in Bedford. A 10/10 breakfast, the pancakes were sensational and bagels were great.
K. C.
Love love love this place! Food and drinks are top quality and service is always spot on! The sharing boards available are to die for! And the Hugo cocktail is the best I’ve ever had! Is always my go to for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drinks! Couldn’t recommend more highly!!!
E. B.
Been here a couple of times now and the last time was with a couple of friends after receiving appalling service somewhere else where I used to be a regular however, this is my new spot! I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and was out for a mini baby shower so wanted a little treat without sending my blood sugars up to dangerous levels. To do this, I was looking to have a coffee with sugar free syrup so that I could have a bit of cake. The staff were incredibly attentive and came back to me to check if other ingredients in the drink I ordered were OK or whether I wanted a substitute. They did the same with my friend who asked for coconut milk in her drink. They checked with her if she wanted vegan cream, although she only ordered that milk because she pfeferd the flavour of it. The staff seem to thoroughly enjoy their jobs and we had a really nice laugh with them. My friends ended up ordering main dishes from the menu as well as cake with their drinks because they were so impressed (I'd already had lunch unfortunately!) But I have had hot food here before, which was lovely. I highly recommend this place.
T. A.
Cracking cooked breakfast with great coffee efficiently served by freindly staff
t. m.
Fabulous place, the staff are excellent, helpful and friendly. Food is excellent and coffee is just superb. Lovely location too. Meadows breakfast was great and presented superbly, and large cafe latte is excellent. Obviously good coffee beans and superb barista. The only downside was very loud music one day (I’m guessing when the manager was away as the next day, back to normal levels!) It’s honestly one of the best cafes I have been to. Highly recommended.
P. B.
Really enjoyed a great brunch of eggs benedict with crushed avocado and salmon washed down with a nice cappuccino.
D. K.
Had a yoghurt, granola, fruit and maple syrup breakfast. Presented beautifully and very tasty.
L. I. A.
One of the best additions to Bedford. Unfortunately always very busy, but for good reason. Try their breakfasts, or perhaps tea and cake in the afternoon.
K. B.
This has to be my favourite place to go, whether it’s for coffee , lunch or evening cocktails. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are always so attentive. The menu is incredible and so much variety too.
I highly recommend Bridges ❤️
J. H.
Delicious coffee and pastries, good service, staff friendly and helpful
A. C.
Visited 3 times over the course of our break. Morning coffee, lunch and an evening drink. Service was great, presentation was impeccable and the food and drink was killer. Highly recommend
s. g.
Have waited ages to visit & it exceeded expectations,we had the full English which was beautifully presented & so tasty,coffee was great too,restaurant had a great vibe & waitress was friendly,service quick,would highly recommend 👌
S. A.
Love the ambiance. Music, esthetics and staff really makes you want to hang out there.
Their menu is appealing and has interesting choices. We were only their for drinks. We had cocktails and coffee and both were superbly made. Cant wait to go back and try their nachos which has come highly recommended.
C. B.
Very lovely service and coffee and cake were lush
K. B.
Went in after the cinema. What a little gem in Bedford! One of the best Chai Lattes we also had the thyme & Rosemary chips and mozzarella & chorizo chips. They were so nice! The staff are lovely, and we will definitely be back. It's s great spot to do some work from, so will be coming here to get out of the house!
S. Y.
Went here this afternoon. We sat outside. A lovely venue from what I could see from the table outside. Good selection of cakes. The ice tea was very nice as well.
Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back.
C. M.
Very good food and the service was great however very expensive place.
B. R.
Fabulous range of luxury hot chocolates - I can thoroughly recommend the Biscoff one. Yummy! Good food too, but be prepared for a fairly long wait!
Updated April 2022:
No long wait at all any more! (My previous review was during relatively early lockdown restrictions).
Their espresso martinis are superb, as is their flat white salted caramel martini. Pretty amazing! Definitely worth a visit.
S. H.
You can use an app or your order can be taken by a human being! Choose the old school method of ordering with a waitress.The english breakfast was tasty and service was efficient. Great location as the multi storey car a park is a 2 min walk to this river front. Will return some evening as they have a cheeky cocktail menu.
M. S.
Fab staff, amazing food and very accommodating!
J. H.
I went to the bridges espresso bar with a friend for the first time today. The bar was comfortable, the staff were nice and the food was excellent.
I liked the way that the meals, dessert and the tea was presented.
The toilets were very clean which is always a plus in a place that serves food to the public. I would recommend this establishment to family and friends.
A. S.
LOVE this new bar. Exactly what Bedford needed! Cocktails are amazing, the espresso martini was the best I have ever had (they're very reasonably priced too!!) and the food is gorgeous. We went for lunch and had a couple of the platters to share, would definitely recommend! Staff were really attentive and all were lovely. Will 100% be going back
S. K.
It's a secret gem! They pay attention to detail, from water to sanitising tables, menus, the service and fabulous food I loved the choco orange tart thing! Top marks for looking after us customers 💫⭐🌟✨
So after a terrible experience with the owner of another independent coffee shop (Coffee with Art), who wasn't happy with my review, I was reluctant to go to any local coffee shop and thought best to stick to London with better service. However I just popped in once to Bridges as I needed some water on my walks in COVID and I was astonished a place like this exists in Bedford. The menu, coffee and interior.
I was glued! On my 3rd visit I found a lovely lady picking up rubbish in the court and when speaking and helping... it turned out she was the owner! She was amazing and didn't want me to help picking the rubbish to keep the public court area clean but thinking of others! I can see why the service is great here, she leads by example and I'm a loyal supporter who will be bringing all my friends and family.
Best coffee shop in Bedford and I have tried them all, this one is best by far! And in all areas from food, drinks, interior, service, LOCATION and a humble owner who deserves to be supported 💐
W. S.
Very friendly service and food is of high standard.
Also friendly to dogs which is always a bonus to me.
R. G.
Beautiful place, delicious coffee and Nutella hot choc. Was quite pricey for lunch though and very noisy. Obviously very popular with most tables reserved
P. T.
Great place for a lunch or an afternoon drink. Tidy, good menu ( finally something different from all of the other places).Good and friendly customer service.
D. H.
Gotta love an independent coffee shop.
On a sunny day I can imagine this place heaving.
A. L.
I didn't actually go onside or use but several times I have sat in the square wishing I had or should go. Very pleasant surroundings in & out especially nice in the evening. I will venutre in soon when I'm not with the kids. They seen so serve food & alcohol but I think it's fine just for a tea (or coffee if your of that persuasion)
S. T.
This beautiful place is the perfect day to night outing. I have been for brunch, cocktails and sharing boards and it has never disappointed me. Everything is served with incredible attention to detail and the cocktails are truly amazing! The staff are friendly and professional and everything is reasonably priced. I can’t wait for my next visit!
I. B.
Beautiful food - highly recommend the duck sharing platter! But the service is excellent. There was a tiny error with our order and the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Will absolutely be back!!
S. M.
This place is the absolute best place to go for coffee and cake or tapas and cocktails!
It ticks all the boxes, gorgeous decor, outstanding coffee and the best cocktails. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.
COVID measures are all in place and all the tables are well distanced with great cleaning measures in place.
My favourites- The Hugo Cocktail or an Espresso Martini and food wise all the sharing boards! Everything I have eaten there has been amazing!
If you haven’t tried this place , please do! You will not regret it! Just be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment - it is very popular especially at the weekend!
K. S.
Visited Bridges Espresso Bar recently and it was amazing.
Food was insanely good, cocktails delicious (Espresso Martini), staff attentive and catered to our needs!
Highly recommend a visit and I will be booking again very soon.
W.
We absolutely love this place!!
From the amazing coffee, which incidentally is the only coffee we have ever found in the UK that tastes as great as the ones we used to serve in our old coffee shop in Thailand, to the food which is just 1st class...
Really enjoyed our lunch today out in the sun. The service always comes with a smile and today was no exception from Cerys (apologies for any misspelling of the name!).
IMPECABLE 👍👍
P. C.
Such a cool place and a lovely location. I’ve been on a few different occasions and each time I’ve been very impressed. One of the nicest breakfasts I have had, the food was delicious and brilliant service. The cocktails are also amazing.
H. B.
Absolutely awesome new bar to eat, drink and meet up with friends. Decor is so fancy, really lovely little touches that make all the difference. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were amazing and really good value.
Will definitely be going back, would definitely recommend 😊
D. a. S. C. L.
We've had a few take outs of coffees, hot chocolates, frothy milks and light bites from Bridges Espresso Bar and have never been disappointed .
Great service, covid safe, great choice on the menu and love how you have new drinks additions when we visit.
A nice treat for when on those cold and frosty walks.
Thank you
P. F.
Wonderful service on 1st visit. Staff were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Coffee & cake were delicious. Was told coffee beans & cake sourced locally supporting local businesses. Will definitely be visiting again ☺
M. S.
Great food, atmosphere and service! Had a lovely breakfast, yet to try the rest of the menu, but I'm sure we'll be back.
C. T.
Friendly helpful staff for our special afternoon tea. Made our memories better as we celebrated the loss of Nanny on what would have been her birthday
M. V.
Lively place and positive atmosphere, great staff, always friendly and helpful, and superb dishes no matter how many times you have them. Rock 'n roll Team 🏖️
G. G.
Lovely little cafe, good views
F. E.
Visited on the 15th of this month, ordered a cod goujons in batter inside a ciabatta, with side order of triple fried chips. The food was great, both in taste, and appearance. What made it special was that I was greeted with warmth, then a member of staff Katie took my order and I found her to be so hospitable and welcoming. I’ll be visiting again soon. Happy hols. X
K. S.
Great food, friendly staff, and great location.
M. S.
We went for a date to Bridges in May and it was fantastic! The food was filling and healthy, the cocktails were delicious and the staff were amazing. Plus their matcha lattes are to die for!
C.
Nice place to sit in especially during the evenings definitely 5 star, although the reason for my 3 star is because of ordering through the app whilst sitting outside. I don’t understand why it needs DOB and postcode with all other payment apps I’ve used this info is not required.
M. W.
We arrived a tad early my wife and i for a special brecky that was our treat for a good friend. It was perfect even the the weather was playing a part, our waitress Candice from wales kept things on track food sublime and cost tolerable great fun thank you.Mark
C. C.
Bridges Espresso Bar was suberb, the atmosphere was amazing.
Ladies enjoying themselves and young mothers enjoying their food & drink for a 40th birthday. The food was excellent and the staff gave very good service.
C. A.
Highly recommend, fantastic fresh food with superb attention to detail! Fabulous menu with great choice. Friendly staff who made the experience feel safe despite current situation. Will be going back soon.
s. w.
First visit here before my isolation, had a takeaway hot chocolate, it was delicious, best I've had.
Also got a small slab of fudge with glittery chocolate on top, it was silky smooth and again delicious.
Will definitely be back.
D. J.
We've been to bridges 3 times since it opened, twice to sit in and one take away.
I cannot fault the service in all occasions.
Staff are always friendly and polite, service is good, food and drinks came out quicker than we expected. Piping hot and absolutely delish!
Will definitely be going back
s.
Beautiful place, overlooking the river and a bustling town square. Really lovely staff :)
T. D.
Wonderful cocktails, delicious food
C. A.
I had a fantastic time here - great atmosphere, lovely drinks, brilliant service. I’m really looking forward to going back, and loving the fact they are doing a takeaway service at the moment!
P. H.
An amazing new coffee shop / cocktail bar! The food is fantastic and the cocktails are superb! Lovely staff, a beautiful view, and gorgeous decor. A great new addition to Bedford!
E. M.
We visited Bridges over the weekend, another faultless experience. As always, brilliant food and drinks, attentive staff, fantastic service and great atmosphere. Looking forward to our next trip at Bridges!
S. M.
I literally cannot get enough of this place since its opened! The service is so so friendly, and the staff cannot do enough for you. The food and drink is another level too! I've been there for coffee and cake catchups with family, dinner and cocktail nights with friends, and more recently for takeout (screw you Covid) - and I can hand on heart say it has NOT disappointed and will definitely find myself there again and again... and again! Top fan over here!
G. S.
Excellent service and freshly cooked food, attentive friendly staff. Need go back to sample the other hot chocolate and cakes...
l. n.
This place brightened up our Saturday afternoon walk. The coffee was 1st class , and the cakes are fresh and made very well.. the service was excelletnt !!
Will make it a regular visit.
J. B.
Amazing breakfast. Amazing cocktails!

We enjoyed a brunch "The Meadow" vegan meals and lovely flat white coffee with outdoor seating in the sunshine. Great service and quality food.
S. H.
Went for brunch and would 100% recommend - the food is fresh and really tasty, service is fantastic and decor is fab. Would definitely go back for cocktails in the evening!
w. t.
What a lovely atmosphere at Bridges. Very helpful n attentive staff, great service. Been there first time for coffee but couldn’t resist to stop myself when look at the cheese cakes. Just placed in front one of the Bridge at river Ouse, may b that’s y they called Bridges. Btw nice coffee, delicious cheese cake. Love to give 5 stars for the services they providing to their customers in this crucial times of Covid. Thanks to the staff. I was bit disappointed could get pics from inside to show the atmosphere coz full of people. May b next time 😝
M. O.
Another great independent coffee shop in Bedford. Doing amazingly well considing when they opened during the pandemic. Coffee from Wooden Hill, Bedfordshire roasters is superb. Can't wait for a post-coffee summer to sip coffee in the square as watch the world go by.
M. H.
Great place for a coffee. Also fantastic menu if you wanna treat yourself to some food. Well behaved dogs also welcome.
C.
Come for the espresso, stay for the cocktails! One of my favourite places in town. A refreshing food menu with sharing boards and interesting vegetarian/vegan options. The decor is very Instagrammable and the music is also always on point! Dog friendly which is a massive plus, our dogs loves coming here.
M.
Great vibe, fab cocktails and amazing sharing platter! Looking forward to our next visit!
S. Y.
Went for father's day.

We will be back.
S. R.
Great coffee and food. Have been a few times for breakfast and all i can say its just amazing! Will definitely be going again!
A. c.
Would recommend, however they was busy on Saturday morning so if you want a inside table you need to book. Outside it is app ordering only and felt the app was not simple.
F. S.
Nice place in a great situation. Coffee and food excellent. However, on Saturday morning it was very busy so noisy and service a bit slow so knocked a star off.
S. A.
First visit, really nice coffee and good selection of cakes and food. Advisable to book.
s. a.
We went today, the place is nice and the staff friendly but the coffee and the cappuccino we had were not very good.
Maybe they didn't clean the coffee machine properly because it was a bit burnt, and I am not a picky person.
N. M.
Good choice of coffee/loose tea/soft drink or alcohol, delicious cakes will be back
D. C.
Amazing breakfast sharing platter. Friendly staff as well. All round beautiful place to go.
A. H.
Went in the evening and had some food to share- was really nice and the Prosecco was fab too!!
Loved the decor and service was faultless.
S. R.
Lovely location near the river ouse in bedford a little pricey but very nice choice, only thing would suggest they get some sort of shade set up outside not only for humans but also for passing trade whom are walking their dogs by the river and might be nice if they put water out for the dogs especially in the hot weather
G. G.
Our first time at Bridges and a very enjoyable experience, waiters were very pleasant and helpful and we had a very tasty snack.
Would recommend.
P.
Lovely food and great service!
J. B.
Was my favourite coffee shop, but the staff has changed the service isn't the same and not so friendly it's a same.
P. S.
Modern look and feel, friendly staff. Clean and comfortable set up..good menu choice on alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks plus food.. music helps the mood..love going to the place.
d. h.
Slow service. Staff did not seem to have much knowledge about what they they were selling.
C. W.
The cocktails are superb and the staff are wonderful and attentive.. Highly recommend this venue 👍
L. W.
Great place for brunch: the staff were friendly & attentive; the setting was beautiful and the coffee & food were delicious.
D. 7.
Went for the English Breakfast, throughly enjoyed it, decent coffees too. Will be going again.
S. H.
One way in and out, great cocktails, nice atmosphere but hit and miss service at the end which spoilt the visit and the earlier, very friendly service.
A. D.
Walked to Bridges today for a take away breakfast wrap and it was delicious! Lovely staff and great service as always.
J. W.
