Fabulous little lakeside cafe. Paula our server was very kind and helpful, food sublime, the Halloumi Homage a highlight. Recommended

Beautiful setting with fabulous breakfast. Would definitely recommend the breakfast potatoes and a bacon sandwich. Was so good we even got cake to take home - no complaints, we’ll be back asap!

Our favourite spot for lunch right on the Bedford river. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, well priced. Longholme Hash is certainly my recommendation!

A lovely, peaceful cafe alongside the river with a good atmosphere. Served by a lovely lady called Paula who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend to others!

It's a nice little café down by the water side. A lovely little spot to sit down and enjoy a drink and a snack and watch the wildlife on the boating lake. Loads of space to go for a walk along the river and surrounding area. The butterfly bridge is close by too and you'll most probably walk over it to get to this café. All in all its a great area to visit and enjoy a quiet moment.

A fabulous spot with a great buzz, nice friendly staff (service a little slow sometimes) and unexpectedly good food, pricey but genuine value. One gripe - why do I always get asked if I want milk when I order a black americano?! So many places do it, hilarious.

The perfect place to come for brunch after walking round the river! The staff are always lovely, service is super quick and the food is amazing (shout out Ollie)! Especially the buns! Paula was lovely and gave a treat to our dogs.

This is my favourite cafe in Bedford. The food is wonderful, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is really laid back. It is a lovely place to go all year round. In the summer sitting in the shade or the sun enjoying a cold drink and a lunch with a friend or in the winter enjoying a steamy rich hot chocolate whilst wrapped in a blanket watching the world go by. What’s not to like? There is a wide menu that caters for vegetarian and gluten free too.
