Bridge Cafe in West Lothian

Lovely baked potatoes, wraps and toasties. All were really nice. Will definitely go back.

The food was good. They were pretty busy and the service was a bit too slow for my liking but always polite.

Absolutely happy with my experience! It's a nice little café. Quite busy though, so you'd probably like to book in advance. Visiting the place is worth it 100%. Food looks nice and tastes delicious. Me and my husband both thought it was probably our best food experience in Scotland. EVERYTHING we tried was so tasty! Prices are not expensive. I'm happy I've discovered the place. Will come back with my children.

Fantastic food ...better than some top restaurants or hotels...fresh delicious..we had the chicken wraps...so good anf filling with a great side salad...the a couple of great wee cheesecakes...best around.staff are very helpful and smiling.

Good food reasonable priced nice staff

Went in for a breakfast and had an amazing experience we were served by Allison who was so lovely and very helpful food was delicious would recommend and will definitely be back

I would give 4.7 star if I can. Tasty and price friendly!

I order from here all the time but I had an appointment and thought I would sit in for a change. The lady who runs the restaurant area is phenomenal - I think her name was Joanne or Joanna. An absolute credit to the team. She was so lovely! I got soup and a wrap for my lunch and we were talking for ages about Taylor Swift as we had both went to see her at the weekend. I was having a bit of a rough day but she really really cheered me up. Food was great as always! Love this cafe so much

Think you need to change your opening times online and on your door. Third time I've been down around 8 am and doors closed when it states open at 7am

Amazing service from Bridge Cafe! I had an amazing afternoon tea for a baby shower. Service was friendly, fast and patient. The food was great, and the staff did an amazing job at the decorations. It's definitely one of my new favourite places to sit in for lunch or afternoon tea. Another massive thank you to all the staff at Bridge Cafe 🙏🏻❤️🥰

Delicious breakfast , fresh , great service

Fantastic lunch, food is amazing, can't fault anything. Cakes are to die for. The bridge is great, wish I eat here everyday.

This cafe is always mobbed because you get good food, at reasonable prices and the staff are lovely. They do sit in, take away and catering options.

Bought an afternoon tea for 2 today to take away, we were amazed at the amount of food, the quality etc it's too difficult to decide what was best. 10 out of 10 here.

Service was terrible. Freezing cold searing areas. Had to remind server twice about our drinks and still didn’t get them. I would have thought drinks arrive at the start of the meal and not the end ? Ordered 3 toasts which never arrived despite our reminders. Food was okay but terrible service. Won’t be back.

Took my daughter for afternoon tea today. Great value for money with lovely sandwiches and great selection of cakes. Woman who served us was rushed off her feet but still had time for a chat and a smile. Only very small issue is we would have preferred slightly less cakes and sweet stuff and more savoury things like sausage rolls or similar the way you used to do.This is no criticism and just my own personal opinion. Will definitely return.

This is a great place for food staff friendly and very helpful

Had one coffee. One milk. Soup, two buttered rolls, bacon roll and square sausage roll. Was given the rolls first. By the time the soup came my partner was already done with his. Defeats the purpose of dining together! Disorganised to say the least. Soup tasted off so wasn’t eaten. Went to pay the bill. Was charged over £60 initially. When this was pointed out to the staff member I was told it was my fault for distracting her?!? Then was charged £30 for the above. Had such a bad experience we left and swore never to return. However we’ve both now got food poisoning and the only food we ate for 24 hours was at the bridge cafe. The food was awful. The prices extortionate with staff who have very little hospitality experience. A truly awful experience from start to finish. To note I have not called the cafe or even challenged them because I am so angry and likely nothing will be done. I will however refer to the relevant authorities to ensure that hygiene health and safety are assessed and hopefully improved. Do not recommend at all. If you are brave then check the prices are accurate and your bill at the end and observe hygiene closely. My advice…..avoid avoid avoid.

Breakfast came as I had requested it and it was very nice. It's refreshing to have a breakfast that didnt need sent back because of something being wrong with it. We were both impressed by the quality of the products. If I could pick one fault to balance this review I'd say please butter the toast.... Honestly if you want a decent breakfast I'd definitely go here.

Staff are really friendly, food is amazing

Absolutely gutted to be saying that we won't be going back to what had been one of our favourite eating places for a long time. Arrived at 12.55pm for afternoon tea for two at 1pm. The sandwiches and cakes didn't arrive at our table until 1.35pm! I was for leaving at 1.30pm but our tea arrived just as I was putting my jacket on. The sandwiches were another 5 minutes after. The quality of what we got was poor. We got less cakes than we got with the previous owners and they have put the price up! This is our third time going under the new management as we kept hoping things would improve. A really shabby way to treat customers and unfortunately we won't be going back.

Have been going here for years and it was once a great place food quality service etc. Since its been took over its been nothing but a shambles, low or no stock having to run to Aldi to get more supplies, food quality has dropped significantly. Stopped going for a while but was promised by manager it was a staffing issue and it will get better so decided to go back, we book our table ever Tue same time table of 4 and a couple times its not been reserved, today was the same, attitude from staff was well tough nothing she can do, i asked to speak to manager and she didnt have the decency to come out and speak she hid in the kitchen. Avoid!! Posts from them on facebook about wait times running out of stock food quality etc that are posted by management should give an indication of how far this place has plummeted.. well done Bridge cafe you have lost 4 regular customers 👏

Excellent food. Very friendly & efficient staff.

Staff were really nice and friendly, always great food and service

Lovely food and lovely staff, really homely ❤

Excellent as usual. Fantastic value for money and food good. Nice helpful staff

Busy busy busy. Not sure if it's by default or we just ordered the wrong food. Burger was sloppy and chips n curry eeehhh. Unfair to judge on 1 visit

Travelled from Edinburgh via Glasgow and down to Doncaster today. Stopped at the Bridge Cafe for breakfast as my GF has never had a Scottish Breakfast. They were fully booked but made room for us. The service was fantastic and the food even better! Id never had Haggis but loved it! Thanks guys. 5*

Always great food and variety of choices

Great food, great value. Got buffet selection for party it was fresh, tasty and great value for money!

On my own. Last minute decision to have a breakfast. In and out in 30 minutes (my choice I wasn't rushed). Deluxe breakfast, American, 2 rounds of toast for £8. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and service. Reliable and dependable.

Great for the price with your drink included in the breakfast price. Clean to.

Top breakfast, good haggis and black pudding. Lassies who serve are excellent, great service. Recommend.

Their standards haven't slipped since last year & as u can see their £6 breakfast was all editable & a picture of beauty BUT i recommended to the young waitress that it would be a good idea to have cork place mats for the small teapot & hot water to sit them on & that would reduce heat dissipation.

Clean place. bacon done perfect

It was a really nice enviroment and the staff where very lovely! The meal was excellent and the deserts come with a great amount of custard/cream.

Great place te sit down for aa coffee and a roll

Great service, food freshly cooked and not any old cheap ingredients. Great value for money.

Nice little cafe, friendly staff.

First time I’d been here and the staff were really lovely as was the service. The food was really top notch and extremely good value and the menu was extensive with something for everyone A real gem and I will certainly be back!

Excellent cafe & service Staff are brilliant definitely an award winning cafe Five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 no problem

Lovely lunch, staff very friendly. Thank you

Food is excellent and the staff are really nice and welcoming.

Been here three times in last few weeks. They are doing takeaway only from the door and over phone. You can’t enter the premises and they come to the door to take your order or hand you your phone order. There is a table outside the doorway keeping everyone at a safe distance and they all wear a mask when taking the order and payment. Payment is card only. It is completely safe and covid compliant with no one coming within 2mtrs of one another. Even people waiting outside stand well away from others. This is why we started going as we knew they were taking the rules seriously but still able to provide a service. Food is always lovely and coffee is lovely. We really appreciate how friendly and conscientious the staff are. Well done for for finding a safe way to keep going without breaking any rules. Just a feeling of normality going to buy a takeaway coffee and sandwich is a wee treat these days that we no longer take for granted. We have found a place we will gladly continue to visit and look forward to the day we can sit inside.

Just received my delivery it was delicious.I would recommend afternoon tea got 2 kids and2 adults.It was only 25quid well worth it.The kids loved theirs 2.My afternoon tea cheered me up on a lockdown birthday will definitely be doing this again thanks to the staff for cheering me up with delicious sandwiches and cakes 😘

Always enjoy visiting. Good food, good service, never a complaint xx

Afternoon tea is really good and great value . Give it a try 🧁☕

Just been for a lovely afternoon tea. Really enjoyed and fit to burst! Sandwiches were delicious so were the scones. Couldn't manage the cakes so staff gave me a doggy bag to take home. Good value for money. 27/11/20 My husband and I were dropping off my car at a local Bathgate garage and decided to pop into your cafe as I had been before. We ordered and sat outside as not a lot of room in the take away bit. When I went in for my order I asked if we would just eat outside at tables. The member of staff replied ' you do know we are in tier 4 and where was I from' which I duly responded to as from West Lothian ourselves. I felt her manner was most off putting and wondered if she would have treated her other customers the same way. Was it purely because I had my motorcycle gear on !! I will say however that our carry out was good .

Always a very nice meal, and service with a smile.

First time in here. Was very nice that the staff gave us a table as they were booked tables which we didn't know. Our lunch was BEAUTIFUL the staff were FANTASTIC. Well done. Ps Your mini cheesecakes were awesome. We will definitely be back to your beautiful cafe.

Absolutely fantastic establishment for a wee lunch out. Following guidelines and safely as they can, food is fresh and prices are agreeable. Staff are all lovely and helpful also. 5 star

Service friendly, helpful, and efficient. Nothing too much of a bother. We had various deliciious breakfasts and they even had decaff tea, Extra toast- brown or white- nae bother. No heartburn, sign of a well-cooked Fry-Up.We plan to return post-Covid and finish up for a wee drink at the West Port opposite. Thanks to everybody at the Bridge for their cheerful service ... much appreciated especially in these grim times

Fantastic... Again. Afternoon Tea is amazing! The cafe is so clean and the staff are amazing! Would highly recommend and will be returning soon

Excellent Afternoon Tea! Lovely clean cafe and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning

Excellent service great food definitely be back

Amazing fresh food for fantastic prices and very friendly staff.

Lovely clean cafe. Good menu, great value. Had the Bridge Cafe breakfast which was fresh, hot and very tasty. Included tea & toast for £6, fantastic value for a great quality breakfast. Highly recommend.

Always a lovely place to go. Great service and food no matter how busy they are. one of our favourite places to go

Afternoon Tea at Bridge Cafe .. excellent!Wow what a great wee place for Afternoon Tea! Staff very friendly and welcoming, clean and following Covid guidelines. You can select your sandwich fillings and the scones, cheesecakes and cakes to die for! They are also full sized cakes which are homemade and delicious! All for £7.50 each! Unable to eat it all but the staff gave us boxes to take away what we couldn’t manage. I would highly recommend Bridge Cafe. All their food looked delicious, freshly made and served with a smile

Great wee cafe. Well presented. Friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices

Staff were friendly and engauging, cafe was clean and light. Had one of the best breakfasts I think I've ever had, set us up for the rest of the day.

food is brilliant 👏 highly recommend. Best breakfast around! great customer service.. clean friendly environment

Great afternoon tea. Brilliant friendly service 👏 👍 love it.

As the title says, the service here from the woman who served us (I think she was the owner) was excellent, She was so friendly and helpful (advising us on our choices etc) that it was as if she knew us, although this was our first visit. The food was good - no complaints. Would certainly visit again.

What a great local cafe! I have been here a number of times over the last few months, just before lockdown and then picking up take aways once the cafe was open again. The food is excellent-breakfast rolls are lovely and always freshly prepared. The afternoon teas are also excellent, with plenty of sandwiches, cakes and scones and again always freshly prepared. Staff are always really accommodating and friendly, what a great cafe-definitely recommended.

Just had the best breakfast nice and cheap and friendly service

Brilliant breakfast, friendly service as always.Thanks.

5 star food and service as always... Well done ladies on finding a new way of keeping us hungry customers fed and watered 😁

awesome brekky great value for money would recommend to friends the bacon was perfect and good atmosphere cheers

Brilliant cafe! Food is first class, staff are lovely and friendly and it's always busy but you get served very quickly!

I ordered a takeaway afternoon tea, which was frankly really disappointing. Unbuttered bread on uninspiring cheese and ham sandwiches, a rock hard, tiny scone, and stale truffle. Could do much better for £7.95........
