Latino food tucked away in a quiet side of DUMBO. What a delight. I was delighted to have entered into the restaurant and getting hit with the delicious smell of Latino comfort food. It seemed like a far cry from the gentrifying neighborhood just a couple of blocks away. Try the rice with beef! And top it off with a beef empanada. Suck it down with coffee. I shall be back.
Oh, I forgot to tell the staff to not change their style of coffee. They have coffee that tastes more Latino-ish, not like the gentrified style around the neighborhood. Tastes lighter and better. Just my two cents.
There is exposed brick and comfortable seating. There are tables each accompanied by four chairs. I think I saw about 5 to 7 tables by estimation. There is also a bathroom if you need. I sense the clientele comprises of working class and middle class people who work and want an affordable meal in Vinegar Hill/DUMBO area.
I would say that I enjoyed my seafood soup. It was full of crab legs, big pieces of fish, rice cooked down to a porridge, red peppers, potatoes, shrimps. What was more awesome about it was that it was chock full of flavor. My only wish was that it had more mussels (minus one star). This place seems a bit dark, yet thoroughly air conditioned unlike its popular neighborhood competition. My hubby ordered the codfish and a side of vegetables. Veggies consisted of broccoli and carrot. Both of the meals were heavenly.
I want to come back to try the meat platters. I saw some delicious pork and succulent beef and flavorful chicken. The portion size here is large. Come armed with an appetite. There are a variety of beverages even traditional ones like Mamey, Morir Sonando(not sure how to make the tilde on the n here on Yelp!), and others that sound like batidos(milkshakes). They sound delicious!
Let me get right into it…. Must have the AVENA ( oatmeal) Its like crack!!!! ( I have never tried crack but u get my drift) make sure to ask for cinnamon on top and middle. Very creamy and tastes like heaven. Not sure its totally healthy but who cares. #2. CHICKEN SOUP is Grrrrreat w/ just enough spices. #3. Pernil is pretty good.
You might just walk by this place and not notice it since its kind of hidden.
I've walked by Bridge Coffee Shop a few times now on my way to work. Every morning the place seems to be bustling with customers and I finally took the dive into ordering from this place. Although they do offer your standard American fare, the real reason to eat at Bridge Coffee Shop is not because they serve pastries or coffee, but really it's their Cuban food. My favorite is their pernil and their half chicken special is hard to beat. Large hearty portions without crazy high prices. Definitely a winning combination in my book. In regards to their food, like all Latin American cuisine, they are very simple dishes but well executed.
