I'm so excited to have found The Bridgewater Cafe - delicious fresh food, good service and best of all (in my biased opinion as a dog lover) they are dog friendly inside! So long as your dog is leashed, well-behaved and vaccinated, your furry friends are welcome to dine with you inside! We went on Memorial Day Monday and the café was packed but the service was fast and the food was delicious! Prices are a little on the higher end, but if I have to pay a little more for the privilege of being able to dine in with my furbaby, then I'm totally OK with that! There were 4 dogs present in the restaurant when we were there and you never would have been able to tell - all the doggies were quiet and well behaved, it was such a nice experience! The servers brought out water bowls for each pup and while there's not a dog menu per se, we ordered our pup one order of turkey bacon and she was as happy as a dog eating bacon! 🐶♥️ The Bridgewater Cafe will absolutely be our new go-to breakfast spot!

Hidden Gem with Amazing Food and Perfect Family Vibes Stumbled upon this place a few days ago and honestly can't stop thinking about it! The Bridgewater Cafe is exactly what you hope to find in a local spot - family-owned, everything made from scratch, and staff who genuinely care. Their khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread) is incredible - they bring it out hot with a runny egg on top that you mix in yourself. Never had anything like it! We also tried the eggs & fruit platter, chicken bagel, homemade empanadas, and hummus pita. Everything was fresh and you could taste the quality in every bite. The owner hand-picks ingredients and it shows. The empanadas weren't frozen garbage - flaky, homemade pastry with perfectly seasoned fillings. Even the scrambled eggs were creamy and perfectly cooked. As parents, this place is a dream. They have an awesome kids area with giant chess and Connect Four that kept our daughter entertained the entire meal. We could actually relax and enjoy our food instead of constantly entertaining her. The July 4th decorations were cute too. Their cocktails are surprisingly creative - tried a sparkling one with dehydrated orange that was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, great with the rich breakfast food. This is the kind of neighborhood spot every area needs. Great food, reasonable prices, super friendly staff, and they clearly put love into everything they make. Already planning our next visit! Pro tip: Get the khachapuri - it's their specialty and absolutely worth trying even if Georgian food isn't your usual thing. Visited weekend morning, family of 3. No wait but probably smart to go early on weekends.

Took my 2 sons here and they enjoyed all the food, strawberry lemonade is a must, the breakfast sandwiches were good and the waitress April was very attentive and nice!

I stopped in this morning for a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee and WOW… I’m still thinking about it. The sandwich was next level: fresh bread, layers of flavor, and ARUGULA?! Are you kidding?! As someone who loves arugula, this was a dream. The aioli was so delicious I could’ve eaten it with a spoon, and the whole thing tasted like it belonged in a fancy brunch spot, not a grab-and-go café before 10am. The iced coffee was smooth, bold, and actually tasted like good coffee (rare!), and everyone working there was incredibly friendly. Yes, it’s a little pricy, but you can’t find quality like this anywhere else around—especially early in the morning. Absolutely worth it.

Food, atmosphere and service were amazing! Servers are friendly, Food tastes great, price per plate was on point, lobster rolls were delicious and the empanadas have me coming back often! Feels very homey and warm when you walk in, like you're being invited to a loved ones home. Great place for a quick bite or informal date night!

What an amazing place this is. My wife has seen it on Instagram and we were in the area for some hospital tests. So we decided to stop by and have lunch. Great food, great service and great ambiance. We met the owner Yuri, who came to a table to say hi and chat a bit. Told us a history about this wonderful place, very friendly and very personable. Felt like being at home and eating out at the same time. We had their absolutely delicious mini empanadas as an appetizer. My wife had breakfast tacos with fried chicken and I had beef panini. I also have some dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating. We had their delicious coffee. Amazing dining experience. We also found out that it is a dog friendly place, so next time we are bringing our four legged family members.

This little unassuming cafe is a powerhouse when it comes to food! If your favorite part of a creme brulee is the topping, you'll want the banana waffle. Trust me. Another delight....Fig & Pig. Can't wait to return and experience the rest of the menu. Love the food, the decor, and the staff! 10/10, because it's well beyond 5 stars!

You cannot go wrong with having a great meal and just having a nice time. We did the Gingerbread painting and had so much fun. Decorated and it's so Christmas, loved sitting in the Christmas spirit. Empanadas, lattes, french toast, breakfast bowl and waffles delicious. Have to experience at least once. I have already numerous times.

Nice quiet atmosphere at open. Food is excellent, drink options are in abundance. Never thought about adding strawberry to a latte this way. Nice blending of flavors from the milk to the latte. Lots of various types of seating options. Highly recommend a stop.
