5 Over the bridge is a hidden gem. It offers great value food and excellent coffee. The egg and bacon rolls are exceptional but all of the food is excellent. It is operated by the owner who gives attention to detail and makes everyone feel welcome.
5 No frills, just good food, great coffee, and very friendly service. It is a little gem that is easily forgotten about if you don't use the pedestrian bridge over the highway. A small cafe that is well worth a visit if you are passing by.
5 Absolutely thrilled with my experiences at Over The Bridge Cafe! Their food is consistently fresh and delicious, and I've never left disappointed. Without a doubt, they serve the best coffee in the Gordon area. Highly recommended!
5 Lovely little cafe located in same building as Australia Post in Gordon (just take the lift to the top floor). The service is warm and friendly, while the atmosphere is inviting and conducive to conversation. I totally enjoyed my Aglio Olio Spaghetti (with garlic, prawn, spinach and chilli flakes). Would love to visit again!
4 Staff: Kind and helpful. Order was received warm and well presented in under 15 min. Atmosphere was calm, but we were lucky to get a seat. Order: Vegetarian quesadilla with grilled eggplant + onions, zucchini, mushrooms, tomato salsa, melted cheese; with a side of lemon and sour cream. $22, but quite delicious! Price: Its a once in a while thing, not an everyday- most food items exceed $20 not counting drinks
5 A delightful place that offers an excellent selection of breakfast to lunch food options. The pumpkin soup was a real hit with so much flavour as was the melt and of course the good ol bacon n egg. Friendly service by the ladies who work here who run a very efficient & simple cafe that will please anyone who’s looking for a delicious breakfast or mid morning brunch. I’ll be back for sure.

If you're looking for a cafe that offers outstanding food, coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere, look no further. This place is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough.
5 We randomly visited this place, this is a small family owned cafe, next to Harvey Norman. The big breakfast looks healthy, always remember to let the staff know how you want to cook your egg in advance. My kids love the spaghetti, they always request to come back again for this dish.
The egg and bacon rolls are highly recommended, along with their vegetarian quesadilla and Aglio Olio Spaghetti. Their coffee is also praised as some of the best in the area.
It’s perfect for both casual sit-down meals and quick stops, offering small plates and prepared foods in a calm, inviting atmosphere.
