I love coming here. It’s down the road from me, super convenient if I’m running errands, and a lovely bright and airy space. The food and drinks are tasty and generally the staff are friendly and helpful.
Got a couple of issues:
- despite closing at 8, they turn the ovens off at 5,30-6 (not sure what time exactly, hasn’t seemed consistent) which is sad for those of us who finish work around that time and would like a hot sandwich
- sometimes the staff will carry on their own conversations whilst serving me. I’m not here to police who you can talk to, there are plenty of opportunities to chat to each other on the job, but whilst you’re taking my order or my payment? That’s rude
However, I do keep coming back because it’s a pleasant place to be. It wouldn’t take a lot to make this place a 5 star
Lovely coffee shop located in Next at the Bedford Retail Park. The coffee was tasty, and the cakes we had were amazing. The raspberry and white chocolate muffin was the best, in my opinion. Well with a visit if you're at the retail park.
Comfortable, friendly, with lovely coffee shop. Only let down, very little choice for us Coeliac/ Gluten Intolerant customers. We would like something nice too !!
Called in whilst doing a bit of shopping, was nice, quickly served and reasonably priced too, sat on the nice comfy lounger, only negative is the chairs could do with a clean.
Excellent flat white coffee, convenient and good place to relax after shopping
A great cafe located upstairs in Next.
I like my coffee and the team here take real care over the preparation. Not your usual high street mass produced coffee, it is much better.
The food & cakes are really nice and I particularly spotlight the amazing Bacon Bagel and "Worlds best carrot cake"...yum
Finally, the staff are a wonderful bunch. A really great spot for a cuppa.
So slow qued 40 min for coffee.
Had to empty dirty tables to get a seat.
They were busy, and was lunch time so surprised staff were buying in front of que for their breaks.
Not a break time at peak time, I'm sure
Nice coffee though.
And was relaxing when sat down.
Like this place hasn't put me off but needs organising or staffing up!
As helped clear table last visit.
Bacon Brioche are lovely and the coffee is good too. Nice little play area for the kids and plenty of space/tables. Seem to be short of staff and it is sometimes painfully slow to get served and hard to find a clean/clear table. If they can sort those issues out then 5 stars.
Was was nice, coffee was excellent, service was good, atmosphere was lively.
Beautiful bright, airy and modern place to meet friends. Great location with plenty of free parking. The staff are all happy, smiling and helpful. Good varied menu - with chocolate brownies are to die for! Highly recommend as a perfect place to eat and drink at a reasonable price, with great service.
