Here are just a few of the wonderful things about Bridgehead:
* Their products are organic and fair trade whenever possible
* They always have soy milk to put in your coffee (oh and regular milk & cream too of course)
* Tasty tasty soups and sandwiches (try the extra-old cheddar sandwich; enjoy it for me because my dairy allergy means it's off the menu for me)
* Wifi (free for an hour with purchase; ask for the code at the counter)
* Compostable "plastic" take-out containers
* Local business ... but with several locations
* Egg nog lattes (seasonal) are made with Cochrane's Dairy eggnog (soooo good)
* Homemade lemonade in the summer (also soooooo good)
* Much better coffee than Starby's or Second Cup (plus see above re fair trade)
Here is the major downside to Bridgehead:
* I have moved to Montreal and they only exist in Ottawa. My friend who moved to Toronto from Ottawa also has a similar complaint. -

Love it, I ordered the hazelnut latte and it was soooo damn good. It was my first time there, it was clean & the employee were really friendly. Cool place for working.

Friendly staff but super crowded and coffee was mediocre. I had high expectations of this coffee shop. While visiting Ottawa I HAD to try it but it was a huge disappointment. This coffee was bitter and too strong. Won't be returning. I prefer a much smoother blend.

I had a delicious peppermint hot chocolate here, with plenty of real, delicious whipped cream on top. I also grabbed an almondine to go with it, based on the recommendation of the staff member. I didn't find the service great (she barista just slammed my hot chocolate on the bar and didn't even acknowledge my thank you), but the hot chocolate was divine, and the atmosphere was lovely.
If you like a hot chocolate that isn't as sweet as say, Cadbury, this is a good choice. You can taste the bitterness of the chocolate -yum! -

Cool cafe with beautiful patio and great street view. Large seating areas and lovely decor
