Bridgehead — Restaurant in Ottawa

My latte was very nicely decorated by a leaf pattern and I did enjoy a croissant along with it.

They also make an excellent Americano which thoroughly enjoyed after my latte.

The staff are cheerful, kind and very accomodating.

I must admit that I felt a little like Goldilocks when I was choosing my seat, as there are three seating areas.

One by the windows facing Wellington Street West (a place to socialize with friends and a little too noisy for me).

A second seating area by the washrooms at the back with many windows facing Fairmont Avenue (a spot for students or business people with a laptop which was not for me).

And a third a spot across from the cash with a few seats which was just right for me (a place where I could sip on my coffee, dive into my book and be warmed by the sunshine cascading in through the window).

How wonderful that Bridgehead has a created a space where everyone feels comfortable, no matter who they are or what they're doing, we all share spirit and love and it's clear when you just take a...

It hurts my heart to leave a bad review, Bridgehead used to be my all time favourite coffee shop, but it's lost a lot in quality, both food and drink.

Today I got a cheddar scone to go, and it was undercooked. Unfortunately I only noticed after I left the store. I also got a hot chocolate, which tasted like plain milk.

Although I'm leaving a review for this store, I had similar experiences with the drink not living up to the standard it used to be in other stores as well. Again, this is very sad for me to say, but BH is not the little local coffeeshop we learned to...
