In a paragraph
Bridge St Coffee is an independent Bridge Street cafe under the Rows, useful for coffee, breakfast, brunch, cakes, light lunches and a central sit-down.
What it's like
Bridge St Coffee feels more local than its position suggests. It sits under the Rows in a narrow, timbered space, with coffee, breakfast and cakes doing the heavy lifting.
Proper coffee under the Rows
This is the Bridge Street branch, not the Coachworks Arcade site. Keep that distinction in mind if you are arranging to meet someone, because Chester enjoys making simple plans slightly historic.
Worth knowing
Bridge St Coffee is a good independent coffee stop in a very useful position. It is not the roomiest brunch answer in Chester, but it has enough coffee, food and Rows character to justify choosing it over a chain.
