I tried coffee and a sandwich at The Bridge Café while visiting a few friends in Upland. It's small but cozy and bright on the inside, with several types of seating options - a high top counter, tables, and chairs / couch. They even have a kid play kitchen in the corner, which is a thoughtful addition for families. It's such a charming environment! They have a wall with rotating local art, featured items from small businesses, and live plants all around. I had an Italian BLT and Frosted Cranberry Latte and loved both of my orders. Ciabatta bread can be a little heavy for my taste, but the fresh greens, tomato, and pesto mayo helped balance it out nicely. The sandwiches come with Broad Ripple Chips on the side. I was on the fence with getting a drink, but the latte menu sounded so wonderful that it enticed me. The Frosted Cranberry was a delicious choice, on the sweeter side but well balanced between the cranberry and white chocolate flavors. I would absolutely recommend The Bridge when passing through or visiting Upland. It may be a little wait for your food on a busy day, but it's a lovely space to sit and enjoy while you wait. read more

Cute little Cafe, minimal seating inside or outside. They are a little pricey and there are no soft drinks that I saw. My daughter got a smoothie, pulled pork, we got the burger. Fresh, homegrown, beef that you could obviously tell, the chips were also homemade. The food was great! read more

Great prices, love love love the Green Goddess. Lemon pound cake is the best muffin I've had so far here. The chips are phenomenal. The coffee is great, as are the iced lattes. Check out the seasonal menu! This is my go-to place. read more

Love this little local place. We have been several times when visiting and it doesn't disappoint. The coffees are great, we have had a couple of different ones, Miel is my daughter's favorite. We have only been for breakfast, but the pastries are awesome and the avocado toast with egg is divine according to the fam (not my thing). read more

Thanks Yelp! I would never have found this place without your assistance and recommendations. This nondescript building is setback off Main Street with a small parking lot in front. Fortunately they have a sign near the road and a flat gray sign over the door. If it was me, I would have bright colors and flashing lights pointing the way. This was really good! The interior has a variety of tables in the central dining area with little pocket lounges on either side. There's even a library of books rising to the ceiling on the right. I placed my order at the counter (they have a bell to cling for service if the person who manages the counter is in back.) I was greeted and asked if I wanted something from the all day breakfast menu or something more suited to a later meal. She offered to make some suggestions once she found it was my first visit. I went with the Chicken Salad Sandwich which came on a croissant that was light and flaky, but sturdy enough to hold the ingredients that included greens. The chicken was cooked properly and the taste was delicious. I got Broad Ripple Chips along with the sandwich and those were crunchy and tasty too. The wait time was minimal (maybe 10 minutes), so I was soon devouring my meal and ready to go. Note that if you are interested in simply having water, they have a self serve dispenser and jar type glasses on the end of the counter. They also have a variety of teas and coffees for those who are interested. I found the staff and the interior to be inviting, much like you would find at a nice coffee house, but with some small town charm. I would gladly dine here again when I'm in the area.

Coffee is overpriced and bitter, service is slow and the internet is super throttled. I'm a pastor and I can't get to my own churches website. read more

Used to be good. Not so much. Soup was cold, salad had no dressing or avocado as the menu indicated.

Upland is a small town. Like, really small (population less than 4,000). So it is so wonderful to have a place like the Bridge where I can count on a warm, relaxed vibe, great sustainable coffee and locally-sourced food, and an always-delightful assortment of local artisanry to browse and/or buy from. My ONLY niggle is that they sometimes they seem to struggle to keep up when things get busy. But if you're patient, it is worth the wait! Proud to be a regular at the Bridge! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! committed to sustainability and high-quality ingredients. Creative, healthy, and delicious! A bit pricey for some, but worth every penny! Has a great interior and exterior space to hang out. Love it every time :) P.S. specifically would recommend the Sunrise smoothie! and avocado toast. read more

My sandwich was so good I almost FaceTimed my best friend to show her. I am always hesitant to get chicken salad at a restaurant because my mom makes the best chicken salad. This is now a contender for the best chicken salad I have ever had. 10/10 would suggest read more

The Bridge Cafe - Chicken Salad Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Upland, Indiana

The ambience is so cute and welcoming! So far I've gotten baked oatmeal with fruit compote, banana strawberry smoothie, and croissant bacon sandwich. The oatmeal and smoothie are so good, but the croissant sandwich was not great. They didn't have much bacon or eggs so it was basically like a croissant. I've been there three times and twice they forgot to give me my smoothie and when I asked about it they apologized for forgetting the order, but still didn't start it for a while. Ended up taking 30 minutes just for a smoothie and I had gotten my food after 10 minutes read more

Great coffee shop with a great atmosphere! The source most things locally, from their greens to the barbecue sauce. The menu is small, but used to be more limited. Now they have multiple kinds of burgers and even pulled pork, both of which are excellent. My wife really enjoys the Green Goddess sandwich, and she loves the gluten free items they have. Their Saturday cinammon rolls are worth trying too. read more

The bridge is incredible! It's comfortable and great for just sitting and chatting with a friend. The coffee is great. Love it!

Employees were too busy talking to each other to realize they had guests, they were not friendly, food was fake and bland, Wifi also doesn't work. read more

My all time favorite cafe. Locally owned and operated with high quality ingredients and excellent care for employees and patrons. The South African Summer Salad is a personal favorite and every seasonal drink is a win! read more

Went here for lunch while on a work trip. Had the Italian BLT. Great sandwich. Great food.

Pulled off the highway and drove to this charming little cafe & coffee house. We stepped inside and wished it was in our hometown. We shared a chicken salad sandwich-roasted chicken, red grapes, celery on a flaky croissant-just about perfect. My wife had an elderberry coconut milk latte. My latte was just right. Would highly recommend the short drive to experience a little bit of life. read more

Tasty, unique food and drink offerings with a peaceful atmosphere. The WiFi can be spotty, so sometimes working there gets tricky. Lovely staff! read more

This was a nice spot for lunch while visiting family in Indiana. The food was very good. We had the green goddess and chicken salad sandwiches with the South African salad. You could tell the greens were fresh and the chicken in the chicken salad wasn't canned or anything. I'm not quite sure what made the salad South African, but it was tasty. After eating mostly onion rings and deep fried stuff, this was definitely a nice change. My husband is a vegetarian and it was nice to have good veggie options. Service was very friendly but a little slow. I liked that they had some local handmade items (soaps, art, and pottery). Overall, I would return and recommend this place to other folks in the area. read more

This homey little cafe was great for a morning road trip for a breakfast sandwich that I'd eat a million more times. Very tasty, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. I'd be incredibly happy to make my way back here to order more off of this menu. The staff are quick and kind while the food is healthy, filling, and delicious. read more

I love the bridge. I always enjoy what I get. It's very fresh. Hamburgers, sandwiches, smoothie, coffee, croissant... Stop every time I go to Upland! read more

A cute, quaint cafe that I believe holds the true essence of the people in Upland, IN. The owner has a true passion for the community + the people and it conveys through her customer service. Coffee, breakfast, and delicious sandwiches are provided. A great spot to relax, read a book, or spend time with a friend. A modern day cafe that adds personality to the town! I had the Italian BLT on the day of my visit, and I was highly impressed! The sandwich was made fresh on specialty breaking. It was complimented with a blackberry izze. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in town. read more

I was in town for a youth conference at Taylor University. As someone who typically drinks espresso 2-3 times a week I was coming in from Seattle I was thinking I would be stuck with what a consider sub-par Starbucks espresso, but was super happy to find this awesome coffee shop that was able to meet my Americano needs. The espresso was a lighter roast and was fairly tasty. All the food looked tasty, but I abstained. The environment was cozy and inviting and they typically had folksy/easy-going jams playing on the stereo, and if I was a student at the university I would probably be studying here on a regular basis. This isn't the type of coffee shop to go to if you're in a rush, but if you have a little time and want to enjoy the quietness of Uptown, this is definitely the place for you. read more

I LOVE the atmosphere of this cafe. The drinks and food are not that great though. Great place to study away from your dorm or meet friends.

From the outside, you'd never expect the cozy vibe inside this place. High ceilings, wooden ladder, piano and lots of shabby chic. Very inviting! When we stepped up to the counter to order, we were greeted by the friendly manager, who told us the place has been open 4 years and is owned by a woman from South Africa whose husband worked for Taylor U. The dinner menu is small but we had difficulty picking from it because everything looked good. Three of us had burgers and one a club sandwich. Everyone was delighted! I'll definitely make it a regular stop when traveling on I-69! read more

Great local business! My kids and I meet our friends here once a week for breakfast and love it. We always get bring back chocolate crescents for desserts. read more

Has the best BLT I've ever tasted. It's one of those foods you can't stop thinking about after you eat it. The portion sizes are a little small especially for the price but how delicious and fresh the food is still makes it totally worth going! The atmosphere is very thoughtfully put together and cute as well! read more

Drove almost four hours from central Illinois to come to a baby shower hosted at The Bridge Cafe. The hostess of the baby shower lives on the East coast. When she planned this event she had no idea the type of place she had chosen. She said she just crossed her fingers and hoped it turned out well. This place was amazing. They closed down for a few hours to host our event and what a great time it was. They provided both sweet and savory items for the ladies along with coffee, water, and bottled juices. I tried two items that I enjoyed very much. The first was a blueberry scone that was very good. The biscuit was just the way I enjoy a scone, dry but not crumbly with the blueberries adding a perfect amount of sweetness. The second was a pepper and cheese (feta) souffle that I wish I was close enough to enjoy it again. If I lived in Upland this would be where I would take my little girls for a lovely mommy/daughter lunch. I would also spend a great deal of time here just enjoying the relaxed, quiet atmosphere with a hot drink, a lovely plate of goodies and a good book. Thank you for a lovely day. read more

You will get a healthy, made from scratch meal at The Bridge. The sandwiches, coconut curry soup and baked oatmeal are delicious and the croissants are heavenly. The staff is very helpful and friendly! I'm grateful for this place in Upland. read more

Great food at a reasonable price. Don't judge this place by the way it looks from the outside. We took ours with us, but the place has a nice atmosphere if you wanted to eat inside. read more

Love this farm to table restaurant!! Food is amazing every time!! Fresh and taste great!

Amazing coffee!! The Carmel Latte is the best I've ever had. I love the atmosphere and feel of the cafe. It's always hard to leave.

We're so glad we found this place on our way through. Excellent spot for lunch! Friendly staff and delicious sandwiches and breads. (The green goddess was yummy!) Thanks for sharing this oasis with us! read more

Food here is unique a bit high cost but well prepared. This is the type you would expect inalarger city but it appears to being doing very well. Not exactly my type of restaraunt but still a very nice place to eat. The ingredidnts are always fresh but the quantity versus price is a little off. You will not find GMO's or preservatives in your meats or vegetables at this place. read more

What a great find on yelp! Off of 69 and wouldnt of known about it without yelp! We ordered lattes and the chicken salad croissant sandwich! Everything was great including service and atmosphere! We hope their business grows and stays for many years to come!!! read more

Drove up from the Northside of Indy for a late summer Ivanhoe lunch, only to find on Sunday they don't open until 2 pm! Looking for a place to kill time, we decided to check out this cafe and we were pleasantly surprised! Definitely a cute and trendy establishment. We order the Falafal and although it took a good 15 minutes to receive it, the sandwich was spectacular. read more

there's little i don't like about the bridge. the music is calming. the homemade local goods for sale are a nice touch. i love that sustainability seems to be a priority, in ensuring that the food is as local and fresh as can be and that the employees are paid a living wage. i love the vegan options, which can be incredibly hard to find in rural indiana. they also have specials and deals, and the employees are always friendly. read more

First time here- tried the green goddess sandwich on wheat and it was amazing! The local chips were also delicious. Loved the cozy atmosphere and will be back to try some drinks & pastries :) read more
