I was disappointed in the cookie though; although they were quite big, and chocolate chip, I don't like the white sugar taste in it. It's a crispy cookie, not a chewy one.

Bridges is a hipster vegetarian place located in McMaster Campus right under Phoenix. Although…read moreMcMaster students come here most often, this place welcomes everyone as they take cash and mac card. The way it runs is sort of like a cafeteria slash food court where you carry your own dishes to your seat and clean up after you're finished. The staff are really friendly and food is prepared fairly quickly. I love their soy chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries and garlic bread. They also have great butter chicken. Although the chicken is not real meat, the texture and taste is still really great! The lasagna and pasta is mediocre, though they do let you customize your own pasta. Highly recommend this place for vegetarian consumers and people who require gluten free meals as they list items that are gluten free as well!!

I came here a lot when I was on the Mac meal plan and really liked their sweet potato fries, buffalo chicken (soy) wrap, and their chili and flatbread. I came back recently and the menu hasn't changed much. The staff are always friendly. It is quite expensive though if you're not on the meal plan.The interior is a nice, though dim spot to hang out sometimes.

The service here is consistently sweet, and the quality of the food and drinks never misses a beat. The biggest (and most delicious) surprise this time? They are now carrying Donut Monster donuts!

Whether you're stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or looking for a cool spot to sit and enjoy the aesthetic, Red Church remains a Hamilton favorite for a reason.

Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked good. Solid Hamilton brunch/cafe.

Also tried the matcha latte and chai latte. Both tasted a bit watered down. The open face sour dough toast however was good. Tried the smoked salmon over scrambled egg and a fried egg over mushrooms. Both recommended.

Entry is a single door with a ramp on the inside. Servers were quick to seat my friend and I. Service was polite and timely. We both ordered our own "Teenage Feast" which included Two eggs prepared to your taste, thick cut bacon, sausage, choice of toast, served with dutch mini pancakes, butter parsley home fries / salad or half & half. I opted for scrambled eggs, home fries, and rye (they also had sourdough as an option!) The meal was very filling, could definitely be shared between two peckish people or saved as left overs for later. Meal has a blend of sweet and savoury, leaning more on the sweet side. The sausage is sweeter than others (I enjoy this but I know it's not for everyone. The Dutch pancakes are so cute and little, coated in icing sugar, and served with maple syrup on the side to dip. For drinks I ordered the Maple Foam Cold Brew. Make sure to stir/not put your straw at the bottom of the drink or you'll get a hit of maple! Once it's stirred it tastes great. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (I'm eyeing the coffee flights)!
