Bridge Cafe in Argyll & Bute

Food was average. The works burger bun was soggy and was dished up with a few corn chips and lettuce. My wife had an American hotdog which was nice enough

Needed lunch as we were travelling. Lentil soup – home made and delicious. Toastie really tasty: chicken, mayo and chipotle – nice and spicy! I’d recommend this to anyone (and I haven’t tried the cakes yet – looked really yummy)

I love this café - the tables aren't crammed in so you get plenty of privacy for a chat! The staff are friendly and efficient, and the local owners are lovely. As for the cakes - wow! Seek it out and enjoy yourself - it's the best in town!

Lovely little gem hidden away... Walked past whilst shopping many times, always assumed it was just a workers type cafe (I may be biased having seen The Apprentice 🙃) or the like being on an estate... Very wrong. Popped in for lunch, chicken, bacon and brie pannini and a toasties... Cappuccino... Spot on. Nicely decorated, clean and friendly staff.

I eat here yesterday with my family. The menu is casual but very good, served by an attentive, warm and friendly team. Up until now, the best flat white I’ve ever had is at Truth in Cape Town, however the one I had at Bridge Cafe was even more amazing. Without question, the best coffee in Oban.

We went for lunch 2 adults and 2 children. Red haired girl ordered our lunch at the same time, one order came the other didn’t, she apologised and said it wouldn’t be long. It wasn’t overly busy.. spent ages waiting. Other customers upstairs were waiting too. Eventually my friend had ate her food and still been waiting so I cancelled. Then when we eventually left a young blonde girl was very rude and told us we had to pay upstairs next time, we said we knew this but no one was coming up the stairs, we also rang the buzzer which she told us next time to do. We said we tried this numerous times and no one answered.. very unorganised.

Came here for a cake and cuppa. The Raspberry and Chocolate brownie is to die for! Will definitely come back

We visited the Go Bananas soft play which is run by the bridge cafe with my 4 and 7 year old children. The soft play itself is small and suited to younger children but it was clean and had a good seating area. The kids really enjoyed it. We had coffee and cake from the cafe downstairs which was really tasty and the staff were all helpful and friendly.

Went to softplay with my kids today and waited 30 mimutes for my coffee and when I went down to ask a staff member she was pretty rude with the way she said its just coming

We came with a group of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids between 1 and 75) and all had a great time. The food was great and the playground upstairs is amazing! Wish we'd have a place like this in our home town!

My husband and I stopped here while waiting for the Oban to Mull ferry. The coffee was wonderful. Smooth and not a hint of bitterness. Will be calling in in our way back

When it comes to letting children let some steam off and have lunch, Oban does not offer anything better. Unfortunately on national scale ... this is a preety poor facility and certainly not worth the money it is being charged for. where do i start? 1. Kid's meals really are not great at all.. not to metion there is No healthy option to choose from. 2. Its rather expensive. Children are charged as young as 1yr and its only for 1.5 hrs. This is how long it takes sometimes to feedmy kids. And where is the play time? 3. There isn't a bathroom/nappy changing facility upstairs (yes you have to take stairs for kid's play area), so for me with 2 kids under 3 it was a major hassle. 4. Kid's area closes at 15.00. No hance for a play after a nap then for my kids ... Other than that the cafe is pleasant enough and food is .. well average.

Wonderful softplay for younger children. In addition to the normal softplay there is a room of toys, a ball pit, a big flat area for toy cars and trikes, etc - kept my two happy for hours. All clean and well set up. There are also comfy sofas and nice coffee delivered from the cafe for parents. Cafe downstairs was very nice and made delicicous toasties. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, particular brownie points for posting the shoes we left back to us FOC. Don't be put off by the location (on a retail park between Tesco and lidl) - this is an easy walk from the centre of town and a great find, particularly for keeping children happy on a rainy day!

Don’t be confused by the outward appearance, or the location between Tesco and Lidl. This place serves lovely food and great coffee. The staff are very attentive. Do yourself a favour and visit.

I love this cafe hidden away behind Lidl in Oban. Lovely cake and good coffee. Conmfy seats - great coffee spot ambience . Don’t miss it .

In fact my husband said the best coffee he's had in a good while. We met a friend for coffee and bacon roll in the morning, and was so good we came back for lunch! Great atmosphere, good service, good food and fabulous coffee! Love it. Sadly we were up visiting family so don't live in Oban, but we'll be back anytime we're up.

Popped in here with hubby for a wee hot filled roll & a coffee about 10 30 am , place fairly busy very cosy & friendly , amazing value for money 2 rolls & sausage , 2 coffees & a scone to share for £9.20 ! Being picky cold roll & cold plates for the rolls so got cold halfway through but would go back in an instant , also coffee was brilliant !

The food is delicious and there is always a warm welcome.Home baking to die for, also the home made soups.

Dropped in, super friendly and helpful staff, great food at great price. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere, loved the candles on tables even at lunch. Lovely and clean, can't fault it.

No me puedo quejar esta increíble pequeña cafetería. Atiende a todos, ¡incluido yo! Tuve una papa al horno con queso vegano y Quorn y estaba delicioso coronado con un delicioso café con leche de soja. ¡Qué lujo!

Perfecto pequeño descubrimiento, encantador café. Excelente servicio de atención al cliente, zona fantástica para niños para niños de entre 0 y 8 años situada en la planta superior. Diferentes áreas para adaptarse a los bebés. Asientos cómodos agradables para que los adultos aún disfrutan. Wi-Fi gratis. Excelentes instalaciones para niños en la zona de cafetería, muchas sillas altas y cambiadores. Colorear ofrecido también. Este lugar ha pensado en todo. La decoración es encantadora y definitivamente atraería a personas sin niños. El marido tenía una ensalada que también disfrutó.

This was the second visit to the Bridge.Good good good drink,good service.The young ladies who run this cafe are all times to the ethos of the friendly approach.We will certainly patronise.

Revisado en nuestra visita de regreso a Oban y el café sigue siendo tan bueno. Increíbles pasteles caseros. El personal es muy amable y la cafetería está impecable. Puede encontrar el café justo a la izquierda de Tesco sobre el pequeño puente.

Estábamos caminando por las calles de Oban, cuando encontramos este café, que estaba anexo a un centro de día para niños. Dentro encontramos a muchos lugareños que se habían reunido para disfrutar de la comida y la bebida, y el compañerismo que era tan obvio cuando entramos. Fuimos bienvenidos, tanto por el personal como por los lugareños. Definitivamente un lugar para visitar. El producto fue muy bueno al igual que el precio.

A lovely cafe near Tesco in the centre of Oban. Came across this little gem by chance and it is well worth calling in. Homemade cakes are plentyful. The staff are very friendly.

We visit here regularly when visiting our Aunt. The food and beverages are always great. Excellent atmosphere , friendly staff, tasty food and beverages. Thanks for your hard work

I just have to write a review as its the best burger ive ever had..top marks for this.great wee cafe.staff are lovely .busy but quick service.recommended

Frente al parque de coche y detrás Tesco Lidl esta joya de café no alucinar en sí, pero debe hacer. El café, el pan sin gluten, increíble sopa y sabroso menú de almuerzo. Si lunching en Oban siempre pop. Un montón de gente y no inundados con pescado y chip de visitantes en calles muy mascando de Oban. La sopa de hoy del día (Bean italiano, tomate y cubiertas con queso era pancetta de maravilla!

El Bridge Cafe en Oban nunca decepciona. Hemos estado yendo allí ahora cada vez estamos en Oban sine que abrió y nunca me ha decepcionado. Maravillosas sopas, aperitivos, y suntuosa casa para hornear. Lo que no gusta. Hay un encantador ambiente interior y siempre lleno de gente que, por supuesto, es una buena señal. Estar relajado y agradable decoración y han hecho maravillas con el entorno, mirando la quemadura que se está asociando con la vida silvestre. Sentarse en el sol y disfrutar de reuniones los patos!

Very friendly staff - good toasties with generous side salad and excellent coffee. The only minus point is that this is a rather chilly cafe, so make sure you're wearing plenty of layers on a cold day.

The cafe is agree at place for a quality coffee and home baking or a simple lunch. Added bonus for young mums is the go bananas soft play area for kids parties upstairs

We were made to feel as if we were the most important people in the town, possibly the world. Coffe...

Un lugar encantador para una parada para almorzar (sopa casera, sándwiches tostados, etc), pasteles o bebidas calientes y frías. Cada miembro del personal es amable y acogedor. Sara, la dueña, ha creado un ambiente relajado y atractivo donde puedes sentir un zumbido de disfrute individual...

A great little soft play upstairs from the cafe with a few little different rooms and plenty to entertain little ones - usual softplay and slides, plus a ball pit, lego, a basketball hoop, a little doll bed, books, cosy coupe cars and see-saws, plus some bumper cars for older kids but I think these were out of order. Great that the cafe bring up your order as well, food was good.This was a great way to entertain our toddler on a rainy day during our holiday in Oban, especially as we weren't at home with all our usual toys etc.Also, nice that they had a little stars and moon light thing for little ones to look up whilst getting a nappy change - this kind of detail makes all the difference when you're trying to entertain a baby!

This place is ideal to pop into before or after shopping at tesco. The staff are friendly and the service is quick.

Opposite tescos is where you find this lovely cafe. The food is made to order and a selection of freshly baked cakes too. We really enjoyed it so we came twice. If you have young children then a visit to go bananas soft play upstairs is worth it.

Here we have a local little cafe owned and run by local people. The owner is very friendly and the staff off are just lovely. The food is simple but excellent, baked potatoes, panini , toasties etc and delivered with a smile and some chat. The Bridge serves a great variety of teas and coffees and tables can be reserved. There is also a toddler play area up stairs. Altho' slightly out-of-the-way this is a place with visiting for a simple, tasty lunch

Visited for lunchGood service ~ bright and cheerful staffGreat Gluten Free choice just superb ~ I had GF Toasted Sandwich with good quality GF bread, also had nice GF Orange and Almond cake ~ Just lovely not too sweet.Toilet facilities ~ spotlessKeep up the good workMany Thanks

Delicious lunch, brilliant place for children. The soft play is so much fun and we had lovely soup and cakes!

Can sit outside with the dog, they even brought him out a wee bowl of water on a hot day. Always clean and staff are friendly.

Been a butcher for 31 years and this is bad. Went in today, never been before, 5 or 6 waitress on duty, walked about the place and all they talked about was foreign holidays not one came and offered to sit me down . Is there a sign????

brilliant breakfast rolls staff very helpful dead cheap very clean even have the ducks wondering past the french doors

We had a wonderful lunch at Bridge Cafe, the soup was very tasty and as usual home made,my toastie was made with local Isle of mull cheddar and came with a side salad, portions are generous and there are special offers to be had at different times of the day,The owner and staff are the best in Oban always with a welcome and a smile .Great relaxed atmosphere

A lovely find. Such a friendly café with terrific personal service. Nothing is too much trouble. The Proprietor even told us that if we knew when we would be next coming in, she would actually prepare some vegetarian soup for us! Now that is exceptional service. Highly recommended.

Had lunch at the excellent Bridge Cafe in Oban today. We ordered Leek & Potato soup and, just as it arrived, the owner bounced over and said "did we know that the soup was made with chicken stock" She then said that we "looked like vegetarians" and she thought we ought to know! How very thoughtful and friendly, I can't imagine it happening in many other restaurants. How great to look like a vegetarian, definitely going there again. An absolute gem, warm, cosy and friendly. Can't wait to try more of the menu.The only possible issue is that it looks a bit offputting from the outside, I think they would be well advised to splash out on a pot of paint and maybe a nice sign or two.

having walked around Oban looking for a cafe that allows dogs in we came across this little gem, not only were they a dog friendly (well behaved dogs only as has lots of children in cafe) but the staff where very friendly and helpful, also great coffee and food as well. It is hidden out the way opposite Tesco look for the Banana sign it is kiddies adventure place. The cafe is clean, smart and very reasonably priced.

regular here to soft play and cafe also used bridge cafe for my sons birthday. Can't fault the service for being personal and attentive. Food great prices are great plus BAcon and drink deals are great.

Very unassuming from the outside, but friendly atmosphere, comfy seating and good food on the inside. This has become one of my regular places to eat in Oban.

Was really dissappointed with service. When the adults had all eaten their lunch and the children's lunch still hadn't arrived the staff were too busy to even speak to one of us so we could let them know.

Lovely cafe and good service. The only 2 things I would change would be: bigger salads with the lunches because they are a bit wee and vegan options for paninis and toasties. Would recommend and I visit regularly. Thank you

During our frequent visits to Oban my husband and I usually end up in The Bridge Cafe. We know we will always get a warm, friendly welcome and good, helpful service. It is always clean, food is always tasty and the boss is usually on site working hands on and keeping a discreet eye on service etc;. Although the geographic location isn't too impressive it more than makes up for this once inside. Furnishings are simple but well arranged. We'll be back for sure.

A great cafe popular with many locals (such as me) as they have fantastic adaptable food and the friendliest service of any Oban café.

I pop in regularly - the coffee is always perfect. The baking is made on site and is always fresh. The staff are friendly and attentive. There are comfy sofas if your are chilling with your coffee or tables if eating. Overall, a great little place and consistently good.

Approaching this cafe it doesn't look anything much but the quality of the food and the style and decor inside really belie the first impression. Well worth a visit for a tasty soup or panini for lunch or coffee and home baking.

This is by far the best café in Oban. We eat here on a regular basis and the food and service is excellent. It is ambient and really well priced. However, the best part is they are so family friendly. We've tried all the local cafes and this is the one we always go back to.

Lunch at Bridge Cafe is an absolute must every time I'm in Oban! Lovely, friendly environment and has a real family feel to it. The food is brilliant, have tried several of the paninis and the granary prawn roll is an all time favourite. My kids love the lunch bags and my husband loves the Aberdeen angus beef burger. Unfortunately kids are too old for the soft play facilities but they look great and would definitely recommend. Food must be ordered at the bar which we didn't realise but once we sat down (comfy sofas!) there was a laid back atmosphere with good music. Service is also fast but not interfering. Oh and the freshly ground coffee was the best I've tasted! Was very surprised as from the outside my hopes weren't too high - very impressed with this family run business.

We love going to the Bridge Cafe for lunch or even just a coffee and a cake . I have a 3 year old who would spend 24 hours a day seven days a week in there ,just as well they do a 10 trip ticket at a reduced price oh and you even get a coffee and a cake with this .Go-bananas is a safe friendly environment for the kids to blow off some steam ,while mums and dads can sit in the big comfy sofas and relax . Staff are always very friendly and interact with the kids ,it is a very busy place which is great to see in such a wee town , keep it up Sara and the gang

Came in for a coffee and bacon roll and it's great value. The coffee was lovely and there is a great atmosphere in the cafe.

Cafe has a very nice atmosphere, comfortable sofas and above all, excellent coffee. Tasty baked items - I had a slice of banana and walnut bread. Good place to relax for a while.

Nice cafe with friendly staff. Food is really nice particularly thehome baking. Will return....................often

I was recommended to this cafe by a friend. We went there for lunch and a coffee. On entry, no-one acknowledged us. I looked towards the bar area to make eye contact, but the person there didn't look our way. We sat at a table and I looked around for a menu. I couldn't see one anywhere, so went up to the bar to ask the assistant for one. She was talking to another customer and couldn't be interrupted, so I went and found one for myself. When we eventually ordered, the staff were helpful enough, but spoke very quietly and were hard to understand. Twice I had to say 'excuse me?'. Even though I'm not foreign... The music was quite loud and conversation was difficult because of the acoustics. When the capuccino machine was on, we had to halt conversation. On leaving, our waitress was sitting at the door with some paperwork. We looked at her to say thank you, but she didn't look up or even acknowledge us ... strange! Aside from that, there was an interesting and eclectic mix of menu items. One was organic Mull cheddar which is quite seriously strong! It would have been nice if the staff had given advice and been generally conversational about the items on the menu.

If you park in the car park adjacent to Tesco this cafe is just across the little bridge and an ideal stopping off place for a coffee or something more substantial.The staff are very friendly, and the food on offer is well priced. The scones and home baking are delicious Young children and babies are made most welcome.

Great location, super coffee, friendly staff and clean environment. I use it regually for buisness meetings and leisure

From the minute I walked in to this place I was pleasantly surprised. On entering the cafe opens up to a stylish yet welcoming space . The menu is lovely and well priced. The coffee is the best I've tasted in Oban and the home made baking......mmmm!!! Make sure to find this place, it's well worth a visit

Spotlessly clean, stylish cafe with a good selection of food on the menu. Delightful efficient staff. Food was delicious and served very quickly. Weel worth trying this hidden gem!

We stumbled across this cafe which has recently opened and serves the most delicious selection of home made cakes, homemade soup, sandwiches and so much more. Exceptional coffee and service and what is more, upstairs there is a wonderful soft play area together with crayons, toddler corner etc., ideal for those damp Oban afternoons when it is hard to find anywhere to take the kids. The decor was also delightful with twinkly lights, comfy sofas as well as tables and chairs - it was like walking into a comfortable and welcoming home.I strongly recommend this cafe, without hesitation, you will certainly not be disappointed
