Bridge Coffee Shop

My experience at Bridge Coffee Shop was absolutely fantastic! The coffee quality is exceptional, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended for a great cup and a comfortable spot to relax or work.

Decent place serving Dominican home food. Had chicken stew over rice and beans. No salad available except laduce and tomatos if you ask for it. Tasted good. Loved the price for the whole thing including a drink paid $12! Unreal nowdays...

Usually love their rice, salmon, & other seafood/bean options but the soups? I will NEVER order their chicken soap again. This look so disgusting, why are they serving this with the food? Really disturbed my entire day, I wanted to gag

If you black you getting a different type of price than the Spanish ,Mexican and white, One day I order the same thing they charge me 8 dollars and today I came now it’s 10 dollars ,they said in Spanish to charge me more money I guess it’s because of the color of my skin colors look how they put a lot of food on the Spanish plate and look what they did for my spaghetti picture below and than he start screaming at me because I said they give black people a little bit of food and they charge them more

A nice breakfast spot in an older building. Friendly staff with a variety of breakfast items. Today I enjoyed a roll with eggs and sausage with my coffee. They have a cooler with juices and other drinks. There are several tables up front by the grill as well as a seating area towards the back. Great place for an early morning bteakfast in DUMBO.

The salmon is very tasty. Watch out tho as they dont restock the food choices so if you show up late they'll be out of the best stuff. I usually get salmon, veggies, beans and some rice.

Weeknight dinners here require the same wait as weekend meals elsewhere. The employees include friendly behavior in their work. The kitchen focuses on fresh, flavorful dishes with many options. The restaurant had a gentle quietness when we arrived. Absolutely good.

This is a great little deli located in Vinegar Hill near Dumbo. It’s two blocks from the tourist area but the food is better than the very expensive restaurants down the street. It’s a great spot for a early breakfast and coffee at the bar. There’s also really good Cuban options. The decor is understated and outdated (and it looks charming), but you come here for the tasty food and family service.

Great lunch spot in Dumbo. The Spanish food is delicious. Specials differ daily so make sure to check their menu for offerings. Their rotisserie chicken is amazing and a very popular item. You can get some chicken with rice and beans for $10, which is a deal in this neighborhood. If you come around the lunch hour rush around 12pm, expect there to be a line but it does go quick. The line gives me anxiety. Place is very popular with construction workers around here. Only complaint I would have and I know many people have complained about is their lack of pricing transparency. You never know what they'll charge you sometimes. You add plantains then suddenly your meal costs extra $1 or 2. I've gotten the same thing several times but got charged different pricing. Place is definitely not very consistent with their portion size and pricing. They also do breakfast food, but I haven't tried. I come solely for the Spanish food.

This place is a true dump. Try calling them to start. Yes, I know. No such luck. The number does not even work. The lady at the counter is beyond rude and the food is soaked in fat--they also keep on reheating the same dishes day after day. After I left my hair and clothing still smelled from diner like cooking odors due to their complete lack of ventilation.

For $10 you got Dominican breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great fish, chicken, and breakfast options. The coffee is good, and they've got tasty desserts. If you're in dumbo, take a short walk over here. Closed on Sunday.

The food is exquisite five stars to the chef! The counter staff...NOT SO MUCH!!! Their people skills are slim to none unfortunately. Today I ordered my breakfast to dine in as I do mostly everyday about 15 minutes go by no breakfast. I ask the counter girl that I ordered from where was my breakfast. No one knows & she goes to ask the chef. Turns out my food is stuffed in a small bag sitting on the counter. My oatmeal was cold & the sandwich was damp and runny. I addressed the man at the register & he says "We called you a few times but you were too busy on your phone???? I was literally sitting at the table by the counter. May I repeat I was there to dine in. So if you want to patronage this establishment do not expect much customer service skills. Guess I will be able to save $400 a month as this was my last visit. No longer a customer.

The food looked good but the issue is price gouging. The stew chicken with rice (Moro) the man said $9. I asked him to put two pieces of broccoli - he didn't say it was extra. The container was a small as well. Go to the counter and the girl goes $10. A whole dollar extra for 2 pieces of broccoli?!! Like get a fucking grip. They can pull this shit on the tourists but I'm actually from BK and know what things cost. If I wasn't hungry, I would've gone home to cook the same thing for less $. I didn't end up taking the food bcuz that's honestly RIDICULOUS. The girl said oh it's extra for vegetables- it was literally 2 pieces of broccoli. ETA: if it was $9.50 I would've been like okay. But like I said, $1 for two small pieces of broccoli? BYE.

The best oatmeal in Brooklyn! Never let down with any menu item and always fair pricing

A little gem on the edge of DUMBO & Vinegar Hill. They have a mix of Spanish, Dominican, American and Italian food. The best offerings are the daily specials set up as a hot bar and their breakfast. They have the best breakfast sandwiches in the area and the specials include delicious offerings like baked chicken, oxtail stew and perfect rice and beans. If you stray from their specialties, you're going to be disappointed, and served less than average dishes. And if you think this might be a cheap eatery, it's not. You're paying prime Brooklyn prices, and it doesn't quite match up to quality. It's disappointing that they have increased their menu prices by about 100% over the past few years.

Service was okay but food is not clean. I order from them in the past and stopped by today to get lunch. There are only 3 pieces of broccoli and cauliflower in my plate and found 2 worms in it. They did not clean or washed vegetables. I'm very disappointed and have lost my appetite. Will never go there again....

I'm hesitant to write this review because this little shop is my neighborhood gem, but we love Bridge Coffee Shop and it's time to share. As you may have seen through photos and pics, Bridge Coffee Shop is not really a coffee shop. Sure, they serve coffee, but it's more of a breakfast/brunch/lunch diner. They've got a full menu of diner-breakfasty items such as pancakes, eggs, omelets, etc... but they also have a large display case of ready-made Spanish foods that are always delicious. Prices are quite low for the neighborhood, and the food is always great. My wife and I come a few times a month, usually for a late breakfast on Saturdays and walk out full with a bill of less than $20. We usually get a couple of lunch plates when we go, which consists of rice, beans and a meat of some sort. The roasted pork is excellent and juicy, the chicken legs are huge and come with flavorful thighs, the chicken and beef stews are also quite flavorful and loaded with gravy. I've had their broiled salmon and each fillet is massive in size, juicy, and cooked well for a joint that doesn't specialize in seafood. My only gripe is that, being a diner with its roots in Spanish cuisine, it's pretty tough to get something green here. Most days they will have a small tub of steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn) but that's it. Looking for a salad? Go someplace else. This joint is a hold out from when the neighborhood used to be industrial, but with more and more DUMBO/Vinegar hill luxury condos and apartments coming every day, I'm hoping this place will be able to maintain their spot on the corner. Hopefully they own their building. Pro Tip: Closed on Sundays.

Authentic old-school original The yellow rice with olives so simple but full of flavor and the marinated chicken was awesome.

Service sucks!!!! food is ok sometimes depending on cook. Over an hour wait for delivery. Wouldn't recommend!

Their rice is gold. Omg the flavor of their rice and beans with chicken and chicken stew sauce with some softened fried Maduros just hits the spot. Without a word we just kept eating the slightly tomato flavored rice with the chargrilled chicken parts. Right next to papis- this place has even more options and obviously know a thing or two about Hispanic comfort food.

Good food, good prices. Great for lunch and breakfast. Only 2 blocks from transit. What more could you want?

The food is good for a quick bite, but my only issue is that they have decided to raise their prices. Failing to notify the customers and merely just starting charging the new increase and when questioned the simply say price went up. I get it prices do go up but to raises them and not tell anyone is shameful on their behalf

This place has great tasting food. Prices are great, But unfortunately whenever you make an order they forget to put syrup with French toast or they don't put salt on the grits when you have asked for that specifically. They are so fast to rush you off of the phone that the orders are messed up.

Let me get right into it.... Must have the AVENA ( oatmeal) Its like crack!!!! ( I have never tried crack but u get my drift) make sure to ask for cinnamon on top and middle. Very creamy and tastes like heaven. Not sure its totally healthy but who cares. #2. CHICKEN SOUP is Grrrrreat w/ just enough spices. #3. Pernil is pretty good. You might just walk by this place and not notice it since its kind of hidden.

There is exposed brick and comfortable seating. There are tables each accompanied by four chairs. I think I saw about 5 to 7 tables by estimation. There is also a bathroom if you need. I sense the clientele comprises of working class and middle class people who work and want an affordable meal in Vinegar Hill/DUMBO area. I would say that I enjoyed my seafood soup. It was full of crab legs, big pieces of fish, rice cooked down to a porridge, red peppers, potatoes, shrimps. What was more awesome about it was that it was chock full of flavor. My only wish was that it had more mussels (minus one star). This place seems a bit dark, yet thoroughly air conditioned unlike its popular neighborhood competition. My hubby ordered the codfish and a side of vegetables. Veggies consisted of broccoli and carrot. Both of the meals were heavenly. I want to come back to try the meat platters. I saw some delicious pork and succulent beef and flavorful chicken. The portion size here is large. Come armed with an appetite. There are a variety of beverages even traditional ones like Mamey, Morir Sonando(not sure how to make the tilde on the n here on Yelp!), and others that sound like batidos(milkshakes). They sound delicious!

SOOOO GOOOOD!!! My mouth is watering as I'm writing this thinking about the food I ate. I originally went in for coffee, but after seeing their delicious food I totally forgot about coffee. I went during lunch and ordered yellow rice with red beans and beef. The beef was sooo tender and it was served with potatoes and carrots in a gravy. The yellow rice was very good! I also got a chicken empanadas which pretty good as well. Totally didn't expect such good food walking in. My total was 10 bucks with a 32 oz Gatorade.

Solid spot for Dominican food. I go for lunch. Good prices. Buffet style- Try rice and beans with pollo guisado (stewed chicken) or pernil (roast pork). If they have avocado I like to get some on the side!

We were walking around, looking for a coffee shop. What we found instead was not that. Haha. That's my only complaint. But the food we got was very delicious. We didn't even go extravagant- just rice and beans, plantains, and fried chicken. But if they can get the simplest of dishes right, I can't imagine how good the rest of their food is! I'm looking forward to my next visit to this area. I will go out of my way to visit this place.

Best food in Dumbo , cheapest food in Dumbo nothing else needs to be said. A+ customer service unlike all the other expensive restaurants in the area who act like they don't need your business. They are super friendly!

Fast and very welcoming staff. Great fries here, food is good and not pricy. This is my new go to for lunch now! There's a large menu selection.

Went by in the morning for the opening for a cup of coffee. Friendly guy at 5am. If you're friendly that early it shows some character. Not much to say, cheap coffee to go, quick stop for some caffeine and from reading some other reviews, I might need to stop by for some food as well. The only spot open for coffee if you're going to photograph a sunrise in the morning, by the way.

I've walked by Bridge Coffee Shop a few times now on my way to work. Every morning the place seems to be bustling with customers and I finally took the dive into ordering from this place. Although they do offer your standard American fare, the real reason to eat at Bridge Coffee Shop is not because they serve pastries or coffee, but really it's their Cuban food. My favorite is their pernil and their half chicken special is hard to beat. Large hearty portions without crazy high prices. Definitely a winning combination in my book. In regards to their food, like all Latin American cuisine, they are very simple dishes but well executed.

I grew up in the neighborhood and this was a place myself and neighbors ordered from on daily basis. HOWEVER, now that area has had GENTRIFICATION recent years the customer service here is HORRIBLE. I personally experienced the staff catering + prioritizing the "new" residents in area before everyone else. I personally stood and waited to place and order this am when another gentlemen of Caucasian decent came a few minutes after. The young woman took my order then his (very similar) However, not only did they make his food first and completely disregarded my order but the cashier had to actually reiterate my order to cook because they were so focused on getting this mans order done and him out at ease and rather had me wait although I ordered and entered establishment first. When I addressed the manager he made a very condescending gesture and told me No they don't do that although it was extremely evident. NYC Human Rights commission needs to crack down on these businesses that are serving gentrification areas. It isn't nice or fare how the original neighborhood residents are being treated.

I am currently enjoying the best chicken soup of my life. The sign said Spanish food. I get the impression it's cuban. Everything is rich and hearty, braised meats and stews. Though I saw a delicious looking pasta dish with mussels. Highly recommended and worth going out of your way for. Note - I think they only serve lunch!

Pollo Guisado. Nothing Else. OMG. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Tastes exactly like my best friend's mother's cooking. AKA best I've ever had. I don't have to bother my friend about asking his mother to make it anymore. Lol. (Though they do serve another chicken dish but the sauce is less savory n more watery don't make that mistake.)

Amazing service and the food is even better. On the outside it may look like your regular deli but they prepare special meals every day. You can really tell that care and love is put into this business as it is family owned and they make you feel welcomed. I'm sad that I don't work in this area anymore so I won't get my daily lunch but I will stop by whenever I get a chance. Just that good.

(English) The people are nice and the food is good. The problem for me is that the pricing fluctuates from one day to the other. There are about four to five people that work the cash register and they all charge different prices for the same food. (Español) La gente es amable y la comida es buena. El problema para mí es que el precio fluctúa de un día para el otro. Hay entre cuatro y cinco personas que trabajan en la caja registradora y todas cobran precios diferentes por la misma comida.

We ended up in this neck of Brooklyn almost by mistake and had one of the best meals of our entire Manhattan vacation. The classic old school diner ambience seemed too perfect to be real, but I knew after the first bite that everything about the place was absolutely authentic. Recommended for hungry Canadians who stray off the beaten path, or anyone else lucky enough to happen along. Delicious fare at a very reasonable price.

I like Bridge Coffee Shop alot. The prices are reasonable. The food is tasty. Mostly breakfast food and Latin American cuisine.

Great place to pick up a quick bite. Just down the street from my apt, so I like popping in here. Lots of cops hang out, so it feels very safe. My complaint is the extraordinarily odd hours they keep. Coffee is very weak too, so steer clear there. However, said coffee is made up for by the fact that they constantly have Mexican Coke in stock. Yay for sugar cane!!

figuring out how to order can be confusing (start with rice and then just point to stuff and don't be afraid to ask what it is) but the food is extremely delicious, extremely affordable, and this place is a hidden gem in a neighborhood of lack luster expensive lunch options

Good Spanish food in the area. Really a place for breakfast or lunch. Gets packed at lunch.

Every experience is a mouth watering experience. Food is excellent, quality is excellent, and not bad on the pockets. Great service as well.

Always good food, menu changes depending on the day!

Came here based on recommendation from a friend...got the pernil, rice and beans. Food was plentiful, tasty and priced good. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

Food is always delicious. Delivery is super fast and servers are always friendly. If you want great food and good service go here.
