Bridge Community Café — Restaurant in Ypsilanti

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...

What a cool Cafe! Probably my favorite Cafe I've been to in years, in many different states. It's rare to find coffee shops that have so many non-caffeine options. I got the chai latte (how often do you find a non-caff Chai?!), but they also had some interesting lemonades, and herbal coffee sub latte, and one other herbal non-caff latte. I got the mushroom hand pie and it was delicious, as well as the strawberry mini pies which were also phenomenal. I was told that all the pie dough is made from scratch and I could definitely taste the love. And they served them hot! I think the only food there that wasn't vegan were the chocolate chip cookies. I would have loved to take a couple of those to go if they were vegan. The Cafe is very artsy with murals on the walls, local artist wares for sale, and comfy mismatched seating. I felt very welcome and safe here - it was clear to me that Bridge has strong values. I would definitely visit here again to try the other non-caff drinks as well as the chocolate hazelnut small pies (they were out...

I absolutely LOVE Bridge! We are pretty lucky in Ypsi with our choices in the cafe department, but Bridge is something special. It's special because they actually walk the talk of "community". It's in their name for a reason. They're not just a coffee shop... They respect differences by being inclusive not exclusive (a rarity for a coffee shop), and they actually support the community in real, tangible ways -- especially those who may be struggling financially or otherwise. Bridge is a gift that must be supported as much as they support their community
