The Bridge in Trafford

A superb family run business, excellent service and Phil is a really great genuine host with so much time for a chat. An absolute pleasure to be there.

a lovely family run cafe with excellent service and great drinks and food options. very nice atmosphere and friendly, chatty owners

This is such a wonderful cafe run by the son of the original owners who used to use the premises as a paper shop for years. He and his wife are continuing a tradition of service to the community with a lovely warm and welcoming place serving first class food and drinks.

One of the best cafes we’ve been to and believe me we’ve been to a lot! Make sure you try the sausage roll with chutney, the coffee is lovely and very good milkshakes. The couple that run it are very welcoming and friendly which makes returning too easy! Go and try it you won’t be disappointed.

This is just the best place to meet friends, nip into for coffee and a bite or any reason really. The food is all home made and the ambience is very friendly and cosy. Phil and Pam are the perfect hosts.

Lovely couple who run it, amazing mocha, tasty food! Nice selection of food. Always welcoming and friendly

Great sausage sandwich, great bacon butty, home made cakes, fab coffee and cosy wood burner. What’s not to like?

What an amazing afternoon at The Bridge for my daughters baby shower we could not have chosen anywhere better, the food and ambience was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Phil and Pam did a fantastic job and as always the homemade sausage rolls were definately the star of the show. All our friends are now new customers and we look forward to many more visits. Thanks also to Olivia for the great service.

Love coming here. Try the soups & fruit berry smoothies! Always so tasty! Great customer service from the owners in cosy local cafe. So much better than spending more in Costa!

Great little independent cafe - compact inside but with outside seating too. Does a good cuppa and choice of teas as well as a good coffee. Delicious selection of snacks and sandwiches, plus lovely staff for whom nothing seems too much trouble. Love this place and definitely a hidden little jewel.

It’s a nice little cafe Nothing exceptional about it just good coffee and nice cake. If you walk dog or take kids to park then good little stop off. If you fancy coming out of timperley a bit then a good change from Costa.

Had a nice evening meal here with family. Good service and friendly staff. Would definitely return soon.

Lovely bacon buttie at The Bridge! Friendly service and reasonable prices. Better than the big coffee chains! Keep it local! Lovely seating area outside on wide pavement in sun or shade depending on your preference. Family run business. Cosy inside and roaring fire in winter. Choice of tables, benches or comfy setees by the fire. Always enjoy it here as never rushed to finish or to get more drinks but do anyway. Thank you for excellent service.

Pam and Phil make you feel so welcome. Their service, hospitality , food and drinks are all great. They do everything they can to make your visit enjoyable.

Lovely relaxed and spotlessly clean environment. Super friendly owners and staff serving a good quality selection of food and drinks . Visit once and you’ll some become a regular .

First of all this is an absolutely brilliant cafe. The owners are great and genuinely care for the customer. The service and food are excellent. However my last visit was ruined by a group of mothers with toddlers. They gather regularly on a Tuesday I believe. The issue was the almost constant and unchecked screaming by some of the children. Now I know this is a contentious point but I make no apology. Other people should not be expected to put up with this type of behaviour. It is unfair on the cafe owners too who are placed in an invidious position. I would just ask if the ladies concerned read this that they consider other people when out in public. We don't all love the vague ties and idiosyncrasies of their little bundles of joy. To reiterate this is an excellent cafe.

It's great to have such a great independent cafe on our doorstep. We think it's just perfect. The paninis are really fresh and homemade, unlike some of the bought in versions in some other coffee shops, Our children love the bacon and sausage baps and the brownies. The coffee too is worth a mention - lovely, always steaming hot and full to the brim.

I really like the bridge cafe I go ther everyday and get a little snack and occasionally get a hot chocolate the reason why I say it's average is because everything thing is very over priced and I don't like spending to much each day I do recommend this cafe very much

The Bridge serves wonderful coffee and a tempting choice of cakes and biscuits. It's a really nice small cosy coffee shop next to Pickering Lodge Park.

We often meet here for a snack and a chat. The home-made pork and apple sausage roll is fantastic and cakes are very reasonable. The owners are a delightful couple who always make us very welcome. Well worth a visit.

Excellent coffee served. The staff are friendly. I prefer to support the small independent coffee shops.

This cafe is such a nice place to visit. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. The food and coffee are always great.

Visited with my 18 year old son whilst waiting for our cars to be serviced. Friendly staff, lovely fresh food and drinks. Pleasant environment and a clean bathroom. Would definitely return

Very relaxing Good cafe food and excellent coffee. The staff are very pleasant and nice change to the chain cafes

At last, an alternative to same old coffee shop 'chains'!

Super friendly, delicious food, delightful drinks and an all round great little cafe. Went with my new baby and mother in law and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed and cosy environment. Can't wait to return with my husband at the weekend.

My friend and I both came here for lunch with our babies and had the best afternoon, really relaxed, lovely food. Helpful owners who prepared some food for my friends baby and heated mine up with no problems - even helped us out with our prams. Also toilets the most immaculate I have seen in a long time which is very important to me!

We live just down the road from this cafe and use it to meet with friends rather than Costa in Timperley Village. It is run by a friendly couple that always make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxing.

This is a lovely little cafe in a small group of shops in Timperley. It offers a simple menu of fresh, tasty items. On a winter's day lunchtime, we chose the soup which was a delicious mushroom soup served with a roll. Other options included toasties and paninis. When it came to coffee and cake, we were pleased to be told that their Americano coffees came as a double shot. The cherry scones with jam and cream went well with our coffees. The cafe has considerable ambiance - a lovely blazing fire in winter, lots of natural light through the front windows and wooden furniture. Free wifi and a choice of newspapers are also appreciated. A cafe run by local, customer-focused owners is always going to mean good service. We will be more than happy to return.

We've visited this café a few times and we're always greeted with a warm welcome. They serve a nice range of food (including breakfast baps, panini's, home-made pork and apple rolls, home-made soup, cakes, scones, cookies and biscuits). The coffees and teas (including speciality teas) are always good. Although only small the café offers a selection of different seating which, together with great background music, creates a relaxing homely feel. We will continue to frequent this real gem.

This place is such a great addition to the area. It's a friendly family run place but the focus is absolutely on good coffee. They really know their stuff. Great cakes too.

Visited this establishment twice now and love it. It's mainly a coffee shop and has that vibe, but they also do excellent light bites as well. Don't go thinking that they do an extensive menu as they don't. Lovely bare brick walls showing. Attentive, but not intrusive, service. The owner explained that it was previously a newsagents and his parents still lived in the flat upstairs. It brought back memories, as I used to visit the shop on my way to school. Going back again next week, so that will be 3 visits in less than 1 month. As far as I'm concerned they're definitely doing something good.

Visited The Bridge today with my dad and brother for breakfast. Having grown up just down the road, I have always known this as the local newsagent, and I was so surprised how Clegg Jnr has transformed the old shop into a chic and smart cafe.

I visited here on a Friday lunchtime. Lovely atmosphere and owners very accommodating.

Visited here quite a few times now with my toddler twins. They're accommodating, it's next the the park and you can park close by. The tea and biscuits/cakes have always been nice and I've had a sausage bap once which was also fine. Will be going plenty of times in the future I'm sure.

Spotted this place when driving past and decided to give it a try on Saturday. Lovely fresh paninis and even yummier cake! It's really lovely inside and the staff serving were really pleasant. I will be returning very soon!

We went in here on a Sunday afternoon and were welcomed by very friendly owners.

In the quest of the area to become up to date it places such as this and others in Timperley that lift it out of mediocrity. Next to the park so kids can have a run while you watch drinking good coffee.

Really love this place. Always a warm welcome, cosy & great atmosphere with friendly staff & very accommodating. Great choice of delicious fresh panninis and lovely home made cakes, with amazing coffee. The milkshakes are fab too. Just lovely.

Great place to hang out on a Saturday. Tasty homemade food. Quick service. Owners are a lovely couple who will go out of their way to make sure you have a warm welcome.

Arrived too early for nail appt next door to this cafe. Freezing cold and been snowing in April ! What a warm welcome by friendly staff and a real log burner. Lovely stripped floor boards and comfy couches and selection of newspapers. I had lemon tea and toast made from delicious 'real' bread. Great value too x

Great decor, atmosphere. Very friendly. Coffee amazing & delicious food & cakes. Good for our local community. We have a new little gem in Timperley.

Lovely new coffee café. Tasty coffee, tempting looking cakes, friendly welcome, lovely décor and spotlessly clean (5 star rating) # perfect to catch up with friends. Will be back soon! Thanks for a lovely morning :)

Second visit to The Bridge. Friendly proprietors make you feel welcome at this local coffee shop. The coffee is excellent with an increasing range of cakes. Decor is warm and inviting especially the log burner on the cold damp days. Today we sat outside in the sunshine - is this cafe society coming to Timperley? Definitely recommend if you are passing, it's nice to support good local business.

Visited this lovely, start up coffee shop whilst in the area, house hunting.

We popped in for a look today and ended up staying for lunch! It's bigger inside than you think and everything was fresh and delicious with service to match and very reasonable prices. It was very clean, but with a warm atmosphere. It is more of a cafe, but has paninis for lunch and a good selection of cakes. They also do takeaways if you want something to take to the park next door...a welcome local edition !

Passing through the area on business and found this lovely independent coffee shop. I was cold hungry and in need of a nice cup of coffee. With it's log fire, cosy settee, relaxing decor and very friendly owners I was not disappointed. The coffee was of a very good quality and my toastie was freshly made with plenty of quality filling. The whole place was immaculately clean and on talking to the owners learnt that the shop was a new venture and they had only been open a couple of weeks. Well I would like to congratulate them and wish them good luck for the future and I certainly will be back when next in the area. Keep the seat by the fire free for me.

This cafe is a welcome and recent addition to the community on the site of a former newsagents. They have made a good use of the space available and there are plenty of seats inside and four sets of tables and chairs outside. The menu is concise and simple but given there isn't a huge kitchen area I agree with their decision to not serve all day breakfasts etc...
