Bridge Community Cafe

Can't say enough good things about this place. Staff are great. Food and beverage options are great, vibes are great - truly a community space. I make a point to stop by when I'm in the area.

Had an iced rose matcha today while visiting bridge community cafe for the first time and I LOVE this place. The space is so welcoming and community centered and their coffees and teas are just downright incredible. I think I’ve found my new favorite cafe 💜

Baristas, a skill, a passion? Should a human demonstrate 🖤 emotion or act bland, indifferent, just get what you need? There are too many wonderful activities, vibes and efforts going on in this community, communal space. I’ll perform here one day. Hopefully, patronage will increase and continue, light music playing, independent artists wares for purchase. Atmosphere mellow and welcoming not rushed, pretentious but organic. Come check the Bridge Community Cafe out.

So tasty and I have never been disappointed with coffee, tea, the food or service each time I come in. The Bridge Community Cafe sends me back to Guatemala where I can get a wonderfully made beverage and treat, sit at a table and relax as I read, work or enjoy the company of others. I can get a mug to enjoy my drink inside or ask for it to go. Things that I've tried so far: Mundo is my favorite drink iced or hot. I love the ginger and the cinnamon spice with it and while I was nervous to try, now I don't want to go without. Chai latte is also a wonderful choice when I don't want coffee. Food wise I have tried the mixed berry pies, chocolate chip cookies and the vanilla sugar cookies with rose frosting. My favorite would be the hand pies with Sweet Potatoes and Kale! This cafe is very welcoming to the community. Two bathrooms are available, one having a changing table for the babes. They also have a coffee program and pay-what-you-can soup Tuesdays. While most of the cafe has a variety of tables and chairs, they also have a small section for kiddos to play with some toys or read some books (English & Spanish). ¡Se habla español!

Beautiful space, amazing mocha, love all the vegetarian food! My only suggestion is get rid of the big “no drugs, no alcohol, no guns” sign on the door. I feel like it’s perpetuating the stereotype that Ypsilanti is somehow unsafe and gives a very weird vibe right off the bat. Hopefully you don’t run into any of those issues with your new business, but I don’t think a sign is going to do much and hurts more than helps… It’s awesome having a coffee shop downtown again though and wish you success!
