Really pleased to find the Bridge Cafe warm and friendly early in the morning at 8.30am. The staff were very quick and helpful. The breakfast choice was very good with piping hot coffee. Lots of parking. Thanks ladies.

These people are just incredible! So so welcoming and nice. We were traveling on Christmas so nothing was open. We just stopped to ask if they’re open and they invited us in and offered us tea coffee and hot chocolate. They didn’t charge anything because of Christmas!!

The staff were very kind. We’re tourists and every place was closed, as it was the 25th December, and they even gave us free coffee. They were also very kind to offer us the coffee and use the toilet. It was a very nice atmosphere to be in and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Very popular great stopping point. Provokes memories of the 1960s cafes with the metal chairs and tables. Wide choice of food, some locally brewed ales and a great selection of delicious home baked cakes. Very friendly staff and fully accessible with accessible toilet. Plenty of parking.

Little cafe near Fort William. Unlike most cafes, where you enter, find a seat and either wait for or venture to the counter to order your food. Here you walk in, wait for a member of staff to take you to your table and then ask what you require. When I was there, there were a number of tables empty. Food was hot and plentiful, as was the coffee.
