The Bridge Café

Walked a few blocks from our Airbnb and well worth it! Hands down the best and biggest croissant I've ever had. Light, crispy, moist, buttery... So yummy! My wife had the avocado toast. Fresh, tasty perfection! Service was friendly and fast. We sat outside and sipped our coffee. What a fabulous way to start the day!

Lovely spot with fresh pastries, coffee drinks and a concise breakfast/brunch menu. Limited inside seating with an industrial kitchen vibe, covered outside seating available until 2. Four star rating on atmosphere because it’s not somewhere I’d stay for a leisurely meal, although to be fair we came after 2 when the patio was closed. Perfect spot to have a quick, tasty bite or get takeout. Love their mission to help those impacted by crime and love the straightforward menu, which makes choosing what to eat easy :) Cakes are available for order - how cool is that??

Worst burrito I have ever had in my life. My partner said the same. Seemed like the lid fell off the pepper when they were cooking and they just didn't care. It was almost entirely potato, except for a bit of egg at one end. The croissants were NOT croissants. They were thrice folded BREAD. One slice of ham, with an almost invisible very thin layer of cheese and a large pocket of AIR. Worst almond croissant I've ever had in my life as well. Once again, thrice folded bread. I would recommend this to someone who enjoys eating spoonfuls of sugar. What a waste of $32. Luckily for them my partner was very hungry and the bakery across the street was behind schedule otherwise I would have demanded a full refund. Lovely dress on a pig. Would make a great location for a coffee shop! Obviously they have their friends posting these positive reviews. This is NOWHERR NEAR a 4.8 when it comes to the food. 1/5.

Such a gem in the dt area, was greeted with a warm welcome. Drinks were made quickly and breakfast burrito was simple yet so yummy !! Friendly staff :) They were so kind and brought out our burrito split already!

OMG, this place! Love the bright open, casual vibe with exposed professional bakery kitchen. It’s like walking into a friend’s studio home kitchen who happens to be an awesome professional baker. Got an Americano with their Cozy Bear special (honey, vanilla and cinnamon) and it was the PERFECT fall drink. I have tried all the 4+ star coffee shops in SLO and this one rises to the TOP for americano quality and flavor. Display case had a bountiful display of freshly baked goods. Normally I have to avoid ordering anything due to my pe air and tree nut allergies. But I found out the baker does not use any nuts due to customer allergies (like me) so I was able to enjoy so many (too many) of the beautifully baked treats so I let loose and ordered everything my eyes have been craving, deprived after years of avoidance. The pumpkin maple white chocolate scone is a fall MUST. Drizzled with light maple icing, dripping over a perfectly spiced pumpkiny scone interior that had a tender crumb that melted in my tongue. Classic croissant was light and flaky on the outside and soft, airy and buttery on the inside, mmmmm. I will be saving the chocolate chip cookie and cheesecake muffin for an afternoon treat. Both, I was told by locals are a MUST TRY. As is the cinnamon swirl french toast. That will be my next visit! They do have a savory menu for more traditional breakfast and lunch entrees, yet another reason to return :) This is so rare, to find a local high-quality bakery that does not bake any items with nuts! To all my peanut and tree nut allergy people, break free, breathe easy and come and enjoy The Bridge Cafe!
