Rhubarb w Cherry Cake... so nice and a lovely little Cafe too :)

We weren't sure about The Bridge Coffee Shop because it seemed oh.so.touristy being located on the highly trafficked Pulteney Bridge, but in the end it was one of the best dining out experiences we had (maybe because we went in without any expectations). The Space/Atmosphere We assumed we wouldn't actually be able to get a seat here since there's only about four tables, but we must have come during an offtime (I think it was 10 or 11am on a weekday). The space is very, very small and narrow but because of the big windows on three of four walls it's such a bright space (despite the weather outside)! And, of course, the view: you're sitting on the Pulteney Bridge directly above and overlooking the Pulteney Weir on the River Avon. It is quite the lovely sight. The Service From ordering to receiving our food, the service was quick and friendly (and so it seemed with other customers who came in after us)! The Food We each had the cream tea which came with two homemade scones, strawberry jam, clotted cream, and an enormous pot of strong tea... and it was positively wonderful. The scones certainly aren't life changing, but they're enormous and well baked, and really - aren't they a vessel for all that cream and jam anyway? At the time we came it was about 6.50 to eat in (and nearly two quid less for takeaway - something to consider if you want to have a picnic nearby). We enjoyed a seriously leisurely "brunch" here and it was absolutely heavenly. (I also got a piece of mushroom and pepper quiche that came with coleslaw and a side salad - also pretty good!) If I was back in the Bath area, I would definitely come back here (especially since there's quite a few other sweet treats and sandwiches to choose from)!
