Bridge 281

The best espresso drinks in the area are found here. A must visit for any latte, frappé, or coffee lover.

Coming from someone who doesn’t drink coffee at magmatic temperatures, I think this is some of the highest quality café I’ve ever had

I have been going here when I first started college… so about three years ago. Bridge 281 is a unique business which serves amazing coffee that came from different countries. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful. Great place to chill out after a stressful day at the office or in the classroom. You see a bunch of college students study or play board games from time to time when it hits finals week. Give it try!

Pay no attention to the reviews marking this place down for having religion shoved down your throat. Every time I have been there I have had no such thing happen to me. The employees told me themselves that while the business itself is connected to a church physically, it is in no way affiliated with it. The most «church» you get out of it is if you go on Wednesday nights where you might have church people and youth groups drinking and enjoying coffee together. That’s about the most «church» you get and it has nothing to do with the business itself or its employees.
With that aside I personally think the place has great prices and is very well crafted in with its design of the first and second floors, the outside table seating area, and everything in between. The building is right next to a park and everything is beautiful! I love the ambiance and feeling of relaxation I get when I come here, and with the comfortable furniture, well lit lighting, happy friendly employees, the aura of this place in general is awesome and it’s perfect for studying and getting work done on your laptop! Not to mention an employee made a cool feather in my coffee. I don’t know what she did but it tripped me out! While the hours are a little limited, I wouldn’t mark the place down for it, and it’s better to go at night anyway! Just feels better and nicer overall to do that! Anyway those are just my thoughts! I give it a thumbs up! Also did I mention the free wifi?!

Be advised… they are not open until 6PM.

great atmosphere, music, live shows, and coffee. It is not Starbucks in the best of ways. You order your drink and a barista will bring it out to you when it is ready. The espresso is good quality and the staff is well trained. Even though it is attached to a church you wouldn’t know it all once you are inside. It is simply a nice, modern looking coffee house. There is plenty of seating and study space — couches, tables, and upstairs loft with big, open windows. Free wifi. They have great live shows every couple of months. The drinks are delicious and consistent. Easily the best coffee house in town.

Jesus is not a barista. I’m trying to get some coffee in my mouth. I can’t do that if religion is being shoved down my throat. I’ll stick with Starbucks.

Awesome. Good coffee and tea, great service. Great atmosphere. The best place like this in Longview.

The coffee shop is connected to a local church and though they have limited hours (from 5 – 10 Mondays through Fridays), this is the perfect place to study or chat with a friend. Much better ambiance and a lot more intimate/​quiet than Starbucks.
