Quick info
About Red Brick Cafe
Red Brick Cafe is a cafe on Unit 57 in Bridport, serving breakfast, snacks and lunches. Bacon sandwiches and BLT sandwiches sit alongside cakes such as bakewell tart and chocolate tart, with a gluten-free option. A garden with fruit trees and fairy lights provides outdoor seating, and a resident cat is often around the premises. Cutlery and condiments are self-service rather than brought to the table, and the business is cash only. Friday evenings bring a separate meal service, and diners can bring their own bottle. Dogs are welcome throughout. The cafe also handles delivery and takeaway alongside its sit-in service.

Customer Review Summary
Cakes draw repeat praise, with the bakewell tart singled out as one of the best a reviewer had ever tasted and the chocolate tart on a Friday evening menu also called excellent. Close behind, mains earn consistent approval, from lamb kofta with mezze and falafel to a BLT sandwich and bacon sandwiches with plentiful filling, and the Friday evening meals are repeatedly described as fresh and beautifully presented. Several mention the garden and outdoor seating, locally sourced meat, and a bring-your-own-bottle policy that reviewers call good value. Catering for a wedding is described as delicious with little food waste. One diner offsets this pattern sharply, calling a £18 plate of Jamaican cauliflower curry small and nothing special, and describing overheard fellow diners also questioning the prices, with one leaving before eating. Another notes cutlery and condiments were self-service and hard to locate in a busy room, and reminds that the business is cash only.

“We went for the Friday evening meal and it was so delicious! Lots of fresh flavours and textures beautifully presented. Excellent chocolate tart for pudding which had the option of gluten free or regular. Lovely staff too who made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend. X”

“Nice place for a Sunday brunch in a lovely garden, all fruit trees and fairy lights. Even better next time would be if cutlery was brought to our table as it was all self service for cutlery and condiments, but it wasn't all in one place and difficulty to negotiate as the room was very busy with other people at the time. We had bacon sandwiches, plentiful filling and lovely bread. Please note before you go that it is a cash only business. We always need to prepare for this as where we live, no one accepts cash. We have to use our card for everything at home.”

“One of the most fabulous places in Bridport, it's so worth checking out. Friendly, funky and community focused. It's rustic on steroids, no corporate branding, fashionable furniture or matching cutlery! I've never had a bad meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you visit Bridport this is one place you must visit, even if it's just for a coffee and one of their fabulous cakes, I'm certain you'll fall in love with it and want to come back... Oh and look out for the cat, it's the perfect host 😹”

“Wonderful little cafe with exceptional cakes. Tried the bakewell tart and it was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot, even from Bakewell. Service was super friendly and the owner was so nice, telling us about the Friday evenings which we will definitely come to. Updates coming soon...”
