Bridgehead - Ottawa

Me and my husband enjoy our coffee/tea here about twice a week. We like that the menu is not too overwhelming and coffee/tea are always good. The atmosphere is not loud so it’s a great place to get some work done on your tablet, read, or catch up with a friend The bathrooms are always clean and there’s also a baby changing table which is a huge plus! I was impressed to see the staff provide a warm shelter to our friends who live in the streets even for just a moment. Nice to see humans being good humans!

While the drinks are good here (like at any other Bridgehead), there are a lot of flies and fruit flies at this location. A fruit fly fell into my drink while I was adding sugar and I kept having to brush away flies as I was sitting at a table drinking. It made the atmosphere very uncomfortable for working or chatting to a friend.

Let’s start with the good. Great coffee here. If you’re here for just a black coffee or a latte, then you’ll have a great experience.Save your stomach space when it comes to food. Recently I’ve had the banana chip muffin, croissant, and chocolate chip cookie. All are exceedingly average. It feels like I’m eating food for fuel, rather than flavour. I’d liken the baked goods to the taste of Costco.Least of all I have to mention the breakfast wraps. There used to be a sausage breakfast wrap which was extraordinary. However they have removed it since. The rest of the wraps have gotten smaller, and more expensive. The wraps aren’t bad, but the trajectory of the quality, size, price is disappointing.

My least favorite coffee experience in Ottawa.I ordered an iced caramel latte and an iced chai latte. I haven’t tasted coffee this weak at any cafe before. The coffee from the coffee machine at home is 100% better…Sorry to say it but feel like I wasted my money here.. will never come back….

Friendly staff, delicious coffee and treats and a lovely atmosphere for coffee dates and studying!
