Sincerely amazing! Such good portion and quality of food for an amazing price! I had the big breakfast, which included 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 tomatoes, beans, a hashbrown, mushrooms, black pudding and heavily buttered toast. It also came w a drink of your choice! Such a hearty meal for 10£. Unbelievable! It was my first time ever trying a classic English breakfast and I was truly impressed! The eggs were so runny and delicious, the mushrooms were super juicy and flavorful, the tomatoes added a nice roasted mess n freshness, the hashbrown was so crispy. It was my first time trying black pudding as well! I was so surprised. The exterior has a nice crust which made it a crunchy-chewy texture, and the inside was soft and kinda “crumbly”. The texture was quite interesting, dry but gooey at the same time, hard to pinpoint, but I enjoyed it w the runny yolk and the juicy tomatoes helped it go down pretty well. The beans were okay cuz I’m not a great fan of the sweetness and the sausages were a bit on the “starchy” side for me tho. There was a heavy amount of butter on the 4 pieces of toast and it was super filling. Fed me for 2 meals lol. I would love some salad to go w it cuz it was all so rich. Their cappuccino was really nice, frothy and fragrant w some sweet cocoa powder on top. The service was incredible. They were so lovely and friendly, which totally made my day. There were other customers having their enormous sandwiches, extra crunchy fish n chips and huge omelette which all looked so appetizing. I’m definitely going back at it! Bang for your buck! Smiles for days! Truly an amazing experience :)

I saw the rate is good and came here. Actually, it’s tidy clean place. Food is alright. I ordered apple pie and ice cream. And turned out, the staff brought apple pie with hot custard cream in hot summer weather! I’m sure I said ice cream because it’s on the wall. So I asked the staff member and she insisted that I said custard cream. And theses words are totally different word. I don’t understand what happened. Even I explained she never admitted her mistake and even worse she said it was my mistake. That’s shame. I wish there was a little compassion for it.

  • Barry Pulford

I have been coming to The Bridge Cafe for breakfast since I arrived in West Hampstead about a week ago. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, I felt like I was part of the family even though I am a visitor from New Zealand. Having a full English breakfast and a cup of coffee every morning got me off to a good start for the rest of the day. This would be one of the highlights of my trip to the UK. Would recommend this cafe to travellers without hesitation.

Ordered a breakfast for delivery and the coffee arrived opened and all spilled because they didn’t seal it. Who sells coffee to go on delivery and doesn’t seal it? All the food was soaking wet in coffee and the coffee completely empty. So disappointing

Had the £10 big veggie breakfast. Excellent value for money as it includes a drink. Every component was spot on, highlights being the eggs with a perfectly runny middle and the mushrooms' texture and taste was astounding. Very full afterwards.

Classic British "Caff". Came here for breakfast and ordered the "full English". For £7.50 I got egg, bacon, sausage and beans, coffee and plentiful hot buttered toast. Good value IMO, for West Hampstead. Got a table immediately. Friendly staff and prompt service. What more could I ask for?

This is THE best full English breakfast in the area - hands down. Go for the "Big breakfast" - I asked for the fried tomato to be left out and was offered bacon instead :) Orange juice is included in the price. I tried some other places in the area and this one is head and shoulders above.

  • Cathal Berney

Been here a couple of times now. Conveniently located between the Overground and Underground stations, I've found it to be reasonably priced for breakfast sandwiches and service has been efficient with staff been friendly enough. Sandwiches have been enjoyable and I went again due to knowing I'd get a decent butty at a decent price. Wasn't disappointed. Would recommend.

  • Shiv Timberwolf

If anyone finds themselves in West Hempstead and feeling a bit peckish, I highly recommend the Bridge Cafe opposite the underground station. Great cafe food at great value, the pinnacle of which is their massive Chicken Escalope bun. Delicious, and as big as my head with TWO escalopes inside! I can vouch that their breakfast bun is just as yummy

  • Sheri Wong

The lady serviced us is very nice. She greeted everyone who entered the cafe. I was very impressed when she served the dish to me. She put the coffee and the breakfast very properly with smile, just let me have the meals more comfortably. The cappuccino with very thick foam was another surprise to me. The foam was surrounded with caramel!

I'm wheelchair and except the little bump( not being) flat in door step everything is perfect. Thanks to Sharon and other staff for their usual help

  • Rishabh Narwani

This place has really good fish and chips and has good prices even though the location of the resturant is in a very premium area of London. I would recommend this place for lunch and breakfast. The staff are welcoming and friendly. However the portion sizes could be a bit larger. Overall, I would go again.

  • ken goode

I went here today with my carer & he got me a ham & cheese omelette what came with salad & chips & a bottle of water to sit in costing £8.50. It was nice & seating area also nice. Comparing to your local cafe maybe not the cheapest but compairing to other places in this area fair.

  • Bruno Bossola

An honest english breakfast experience at a diner. Apart from the sausages, that weren't to my liking, everything else was okay. My italian friends liked it as well :) Of course you cannot have this kind of meal every day, unless you are trained to!

  • Avichai Elimelech

This is a great place for a quick and cheap breakfast - the service is great (with a smile), all the essentials for an English breakfast are there and fresh but the price is awesome! If you're hungry for a quick breakfast, don't hesitate to go in!

Lovely breakfast. Good price. Make sure you don't order tomatoes with your dish. They are not fresh, probably canned. Replace it with anything else. Also I think they should give free refills on tea and coffee.
