Short stop leaving SLO before our drive to Beverly Hills. Open early so we stopped in to share a breakfast and enjoy coffee. Friendly service and fresh hot large portioned breakfast of French Toast, scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. Indoor and outdoor seating. A perfect start to the day. Worth the stop! From their menu: French Toast Breakfast $15.00 Two slices of cinnamon swirl bread, dipped and grilled to golden French toast, are served with soft fluffy scrambled eggs and your choice of savory sausage or crisp bacon.​The contrast of subtle sweetness and hearty protein reflects both comfort and strength, echoing the balance of compassion and accountability. read more

The Bridge Cafe - Cafes Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

We knew nothing about the restaurant when we walked in. Clearly no ambiance, friendly staff, somewhat slow process and really delicious food! We had no idea it was also a nonprofit working in partnership with a local college. The chicken with cheese onions, tomatoes and special sauce was excellent. Great flavors, good portion of chicken and fresh bread. Huevos rancheros was a huge portion and very tasty. Lots of jalapeño peppers and tomatoes to go with the eggs. And the breakfast burrito was packed full of good eats! Definitely worth a return. read more

Hot and new, The Bridge Cafe is one of the latest additions to the vibrant San Luis Obispo community. Recommended by a close friend, I was excited to check it out. It smelled heavenly upon walking in, I ordered a hot flat white and my friend got a mocha. We got their signature breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches, and enjoyed catching up. Their space is cozy and vibrant. I love looking at their seasonal baked goods, esp their Easter cakes! Their staff are kind and sweet. I would go back! read more

The workers were nice and helpful! The food did take a decent amount of time to come out, but it was very good! I really enjoyed my chilaquiles and am looking forward to come back to try the huevos rancheros. I wasn't the biggest fan of the French toast, as I have a crazy sweet tooth but they were more of a healthy adult version. They have both indoor and outdoor seating! Overall I think it's a great place to go and have a nice breakfast! read more

A flat white coffee with the Bridge sandwich was outstanding. My husband had a wrap. We took the other halves of the sandwiches home for dinner!! Too big. read more

The food is good. The place is always clean. The staff is extremely rude!! I will never return to this restaurant solely due to staff.

We had to visit the bank in SLO so I suggested a quick lunch at a little place I discovered when serving on jury duty years ago. What used to be Breaking Bread is now a nonprofit, The Bridge Cafe, and it's AMAZING! My husband had chicken tortilla soup and I had quiche. Both were delicious! Afterward, I asked what the big cookies were in the bakery case, and the man behind the counter gave me one! It's a chewy ginger cookie, yummy and HUGE! I'm ready to sign up for jury duty again as long this place is here. read more

I rarely make reviews- but the girl at the front was quite rude to me for no reason. She got upset with me for making a very minor adjustment to my order. I really don't like to complain but, very bizarre attitude overall. The manager is a nice guy and the girl with the short hair was nice and helpful. Decent brunch. read more

This restaurants mission means a lot to me personally so it was a massive relief to find out their food and drinks are as amazing as their purpose! The coffee was incredible, highly recommend the salted caramel and raspberry cheesecake flavors!! The service was fast and the staff were so kind and went above and beyond to make our experience great. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor area is lovely with olive trees and many tables! Highly recommend, plus check out their specials they had chicken wings on special the day I went!!! read more

Rude. False adverting. Felt like we were an inconvenience. . Food was okay. Would not recommend

Cool place to get a quick bite in downtown. Good service as well. The food came out pretty quick as well.

Food was okay. Small tuna sandwich on ciabatta (not sure it was really ciabatta) was nothing special.Breakfast burrito was okay. I applaud the concept of hiring former incarcerated folks but the menu really needs to improve. read more

Food was great!! Great atmosphere and staff!!! Would highly recommend! Had the grilled chicken sandwich and it was cooked to perfection!

Service was way too nonchalant - kinda like he didn't care if we were there or not. Food was honestly something we could've whipped up at home. read more

The food is amazing and the people are even greater!

And every item I have tried has been delicious. I usually stay in and eat because of the great vibes and music but these last couple times I had to order for pickup! Either way fast service and prepared like it was for a family member generous servings and intricately placed ingredients and toppings. I love it here so much! Thank you for everything you guys and gals do for the community! read more

The Western Burger keeps us coming back each time, we're hooked! The beef patty is juicy with a crispy onion ring, cheese, crispy bacon, brioche buttery bun, topped off with their secret sauce!

Enough about the food, let's talk staff: service is 100% friendly! There is a positive attitude and always friendly smiles, really make you feel welcomed.

Came by for an early Thursday morning breakfast. The place is very cute and modern. There's one table for 4 inside, 6 table tops and the rest is patio seating. We tried the avocado toast and breakfast sandwich, very flavorful and filling. Lattes were great and based on reviews we ordered a croissant and scone, freshly baked each morning, absolutely delicious, the warm croissant melts in your mouth, worth every buttery calorie! Service was helpful and friendly. I believe there's only street parking, which can get tricky when busy. I definitely recommend trying this place and we will return when back in SLO. read more

The food was so delicious. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful the customer service is at the bridge cafe and the environment is so welcoming and peaceful. Sister Theresa (one of the founding members) Jason, Ariana, and Jaycee who work there are some of the nicest people I've met. Extremely professional and helpful. Please stop by if you get the opportunity to do so. You won't be disappointed. Excellent food and their mission is to help so many people in need through restorative justice. I am definitely going back. I also had a croissant with spinach and feta cheese that was delicious. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture. read more

This place should have a line out the door. We split a Bridge Burger with Garlic fries for a lighter lunch. My half of the burger required 4 napkins - in a good way... juicy pink burger and delicious sauce! The garlic fries with Bridge Sauce were perfectly crunchy and plentiful. We ended the meal with a sticky bun for dessert. Oh... and we had the best Dirty Chai that I can remember. It required no "doctoring" and was nice and hot. We are heading back for breakfast tomorrow! read more
