The place
Seventeen Pulteney Bridge, looking at the weir
The Bridge Coffee Shop (also listed as Pulteney Bridge Coffee) sits in a tiny Bath-stone arch on the shop-lined Pulteney Bridge — one of the few cafes with a chance of a weir view.
The room seats roughly 10–15; not every table faces the river. Guests praise cream teas, cakes, and friendly counter service — and note the squeeze when it’s busy.
There is no polished dedicated website. This page is an unofficial preview from public listings only.
Ask for a window seat — they move you when one frees up (guest review).
What visitors say
Cosy, cakes, and that weir view
“The Lemon Drizzle is delicious, the service quick! It’s a wonderful little nook on the bridge — we also got a table by the window and had a wonderful time absorbing the view.”
“Really delicious selection of cakes, cream teas available along with lots of other drinks. The cafe is small but it makes it cosy, the views from the cafe window are very beautiful and the staff were friendly.”
“Fabulous little cafe with a wonderful view. Friendly service, efficient and clean. Great coffee and a lovely bacon sandwich made with very nice bread. We went two days running as it was so good.”
“Afternoon tea with a view! You’re provided with a tea kettle with the tea of your choice, along with two scones, jam, and cream… She had great hospitality and made this leg of our trip memorable.”
