Bridgehead -  Ottawa,

(All locations) good loose-leaf tea, and nice atmosphere for sitting down with a book or chatting with neighbours.

Good coffee, lots of tasty squares. Don't know about the food as I don't go there for that.

Coffee is kind of bitter, but they use real whipped cream.

Serviable staff, delicious coffee and sandwiches. Nice place to go and do work.

This Bridgehead location is a reliable choice. It definitely fits the Bridgehead brand, complete with the familiar logo. The space is spacious, featuring stylish curved benches that allowed me to sit comfortably with a relaxed, arched back. On a Thursday afternoon, it was surprisingly empty—much quieter than Baffin Island—providing me with plenty of privacy, though it did make me feel a bit chilly for some reason.
