They have some great food and hands down one of the best sandwiches in the area! Would highly suggest if you’re looking for some great service and food! Always snag a cookie, because they’re the best around. Love this place and everyone that works here.

Nice little local delivery for a quick lunch. Picked up a dozen cookies to bring home to my kids and staff took the time to make sure they were packed well enough to make it through the flight.

Love this deli 🦄! We come from out of town several times a year. It’s an easy walk from the Marriott. Their baked goods are awesome. Cookie included with a sandwich. Hard to decide which scone to buy.

Great sandwiches & salads! They are super fast and most of the time friendly. This is one of my go tos for lunch during the work week. I love their crushed ice too, please dont get rid of that!

Often very busy around 11:30-1 pm, there is normally a line, but it is well worth the wait. Great Customer service at this location, and super convenient since it is so close to my work. Definitely stop by if you get a chance! The St. Johns Turkey Cranberry and the Burnside Turkey Bacon are both awesome choices.

The Turkey/ cranberry sandwich and the vegetarian sandwiches were excellent. The clam chowder and tomato bisque were very good. The baked goods were also very good.

Excellent house coffee and delicious pastries. An added plus was that I was approached by an employee (possibly a manager) and she handed me a menu and stockers for my 19 month old to play with so i had some time to finished my breakfast. I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Nice quiet restaurant. I can hear myself think. Its right next door to a 🌟 bucks. They have lots of options to choose from. Reasonable prices far as downtown. Its clean inside. You arent shoved together in seating.

Love this place for a quick sandwich. During lunch they give you a free chocolate chip cookie with purchase of any lunch item. Their sandwiches are priced at $8.45, so for a full sandwich and cookie, that isnt a bad price. Waits are never too long even when lines are out the door because they churn out those sandwiches fast. My go to is the Burnside Turkey Bacon.

Nice cafe. We stopped in for a late lunch and had the soup and half sandwich combo. It came with a delicious bonus cookie 😃 The soup was hearty and the turkey bacon sandwich was delicious.

I love just about all their food here. They have some of the best cookies within a six block radius. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious. I recommend their southwest chicken caesar salad, its on point. This place isnt that cheap but its worth every penny.

I frequently use Bridge City Cafe for our office catering and they always deliver on time! My employees love the food, and love the cookies even more. The few times that I have had a missed item, they have gone and got it and brought it back to me within minutes. The staff is friendly and personable as well. I always recommend Bridge City Cafe to out of town visitors, and constantly receive raving reviews. Great job guys!

I went in at 10am to get 4 chocolate chip cookies, thinking the cookies may still be warm and fresh, soft. What I got was a huge disappointment. The cookies were hard and cold. They tasted like day old. I even had to go back and ask if they were from the day before and she said they were baked this morning. I asked for my money back but was told Id have to wait for the manager. But being in a hurry I couldnt. So... here I am with 4 bucks worth of cookies that taste more like sawdust. I was surprised because they usually have better cookies. Oh well. I dont need the calories anyway :-)

I go here on my way to work. Coffee is good and cheap if you buy it with something else and bring your own mug. So I buy it with their fruit filled croissant and it gets my day started just right.

The bread is the unsung hero of this place! Try the honey molasses wheat 🍞! It is so good 👍. All the sandwiches are delicious, best is the chicken salad in my opinion . Cookie samples are 🔥.

I think this used to be Paradise Bakery? Same stuff but rebranded. Cookies are super good and the bread isnt bad either.

I love the southwest chicken caesar salads, but sometimes when the salad prepper isnt paying attention, you get your salad back to the office with only 3 or 4 pieces of chicken. Those are the only times I dont enjoy my salad.

I was 8 months pregnant and need to use the bathroom badly while on a walk with my husband. We went in assuming we would have to buy something in order for me to use the restroom so my husband went straight for the line to buy something to drink. Myself needing to use the restroom urgently went straight for the restroom. The person at the counter started to yelling rudly saying something to the sort of where do you think your going. I immediately said my husband s in line to buy something while continuing to head toward the bathroom. The woman behind the counter continued to shout rudley telling me to stop. Possiblely a little emotionally incuced by my pregnancy I told my husband to come on and said Ill never come here again and left to find the next closest restroom, which was probably a Starbucks or something. Ive never tried the food and I dont plan on it. I do not want to support a business that would treat a person that way and especially a fully pregnant woman. Im sure theyd have some excuses about the kind of stuff they deal with being downtown, but they should have some decernment and common decency.
