Bridge Coffee — Restaurant in Seattle

The architecture of the building reminded me of a late 70's era elementary school. The signs indicated that there was a church involved. But, sure enough, Google had led me to Bridge Cafe - a place that was supposed to have good coffee and provide a place to get some work done. The parking lot was not quite full, but there were plenty of cars there. The cafe is closed on weekends, so the church gets all the spots on Sunday. The dining room is well lit and spacious. There are a bunch of places to sit near an outlet in case your laptop needs a top-up. Unfortunately, I was not the only one looking for a workspace out of the home or office. I ended up getting a comfy chair, but I have to type quickly while I still have battery. The counter are was clean and well organized. A very nice woman put up with the fact that I cannot tell an espresso from a latte before my morning coffee. She steered me to the latte and went to work on it while I forked over $5.24.

While traveling through Seattle, we decided to visit your café, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice!

As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we always appreciate kindness and warmth—qualities that seem to be increasingly rare in today’s world. Thank you so much, guys! We hope to...

How great is this place. I don't think most business owners ever thought about having a coffee shop essentially in a church but it works.
