Nestled on the upper level of a quiet arcade near the pedestrian bridge in Gordon, this cafe offers a calm and cozy spot to enjoy a simple yet satisfying meal. It’s the kind of place people often visit for a well-crafted coffee or a refreshing lemon and ginger tea, alongside a modest menu that leans towards fresh, homemade items like banana bread, quiches, and a variety of daily muffins. Brunch and light lunches draw in locals who appreciate casual seating where working on a laptop or enjoying a solo meal feels completely natural.

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.
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough good things about this local cafe! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an inviting and cozy atmosphere. The vibe is just perfect, and the music sets a relaxing tone. The coffee here is a true masterpiece. The taste is rich, bold, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you're into espresso, lattes, or pour-overs, they've got you covered. And let's not forget about the food – it's simply amazing. Every dish is prepared with love and attention to detail. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. They are the epitome of politeness and professionalism. From the moment you step through the door, you feel like a valued guest. The owners are wonderful too, and their passion for their cafe shines through in every aspect of the experience. 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 a favorite, but the menu also features delicious small plates like vegetarian quesadillas and fresh pasta dishes.
You can enjoy both—a quick bite or a cozy sit-down meal in a calm atmosphere perfect for conversation.
The cafe is small and can fill up quickly, so visiting outside typical lunch hours might help you find a seat more easily.
