B. P.

I love this place! It's a really nice place to sit with a book and have a nice coffee. The cheese on toast is SO good, and the salad it comes with is really delicious. Staff have always been upbeat and friendly whenever I've been in. My one gripe is that I think some of the chairs could do with cushions, but it's okay.

Happened to stumble upon this place as I parked in the adjacent multi story car park. Really good sandwich and nice coffee. The staff were friendly and I thought it was reasonably priced. The shop had some really nice bits as well, would recommend to people to visit

Lovely coffee, friendly staff.. superb desserts 🤩

P. P.

Let's make this quick. This coffee place is in an art shop, the space is bright and airy. The latte was one of the best, I was pleasantly surprised by it. There were a variety on sandwiches on display although a little pricey. The bread was good and very tasty. You should at least come in and give the coffe a go. Our final bill was quite steep and it's the only thing that will stop us from coming back.

Needed a few pictures framing, so I nipped in here, great service, great advice, hopefully all will be good when I pick them up. As it's located below the car park, it was also free parking, bonus. EDIT: Pick up my pictures, everything was awesome, a really good professional job done, one of them was very old (1936)and it came out really well. Very pleased.

J. W.

I've been to a few countries and can say they do some of the best desserts in the world. Lucky to have you guys in Bedford. I go here quite often.

Great place for coffee, cake and real sourdough bread. Also good for working remotely.

S. S.

The most lovely independent coffee shop around! The food, the coffee and the decor is 10/10

Been there first time. Was in rush to have coffee so found this nearest one on google. Really enjoyed my coffee. Didn’t stay there longer but love the atmosphere. Like to location not in crowded high street. So peace & calm. Service was good too. Let me come back for enjoy more stuff specially bakery 😋

J. H.

So glad this place is open for sitting outside again. Great selection of food: sausage rolls, open sandwiches, cakes etc. and I even bought a loaf of their amazing sourdough bread to take away with me. They also sell locally roasted coffee, jams and chutneys from The Stables charity, Bedfordshire honey. Lots to love!

p. t.

staff was lovely and the whole place very much gives DTLA with farmers market vibes.

A very nice cafe. Food and coffees are of a high quality and the ambience is pleasant enough to stay a while. Very much a "secret cafe" feel, as embedded in an art supplies store, but this cafe also attracts a few business types. Overall the customer base is mixed, those interested in or practising art, mums with young, and town center professionals. Currently there seems always plenty of room to find a table which I find surprising since the cafe is very high quality, but maybe the prices reflect this, or I am lucky with the times I visit. Management are very good and service is always excellent.

G. W.

One of the very best venues for coffee and food in town. Plus they sell the finest bakery goods around. Trust me. I've tried a lot of them.

E. S.

My favourite coffee house, best flat white in town. A salad that even I like.Sausage rolls and cakes. Fresh sourdough bread baked on the premises. Definitely worth popping by.

D. G.

Excellent coffee and tasty snacks served by people with welcoming smiles and a friendly manner. Their brownies are sheer perfection with lovely gooey middles. The biggest attraction here is Companions Real Bread. They relocated from Mill St recently and were able to increase their capacity. That means that more of their fabulous sourdough bread is available on a daily basis.

N. L.

I am so glad to be able to return to this place! The new team is awesome, the food delicious, very good coffee. Lovely atmosphere with the art gallery under the same roof. And, oh! The bread!!! Thanks for being so close to my office too.

K. B.

Amazing store and bakery! The sourdough is to die for and the shop has so many different things to choose from. A must visit in Bedford!

D. J.

My wife and I have lunched here about five times now, so there are certainly qualities that invite users back - pleasant environment, good food and excellent coffee. The bread and pastries are high quality and interesting, and the range of snacks is certainly different from most cafes. Why four stars rather than five - two small things. Although everyone is pleasant enough, it feels businesslike rather than welcoming and sociable. Hard to put a finger on quite why. The other is that the French bread is great to eat and to take home, but it makes very tough going for sandwiches!

D. S.

It was ok. Lovely woman who served us. Decent coffee (which can be rare to find) and although the cakes are more pricey than some places, they are no more pricey than a dessert in a restaurant. Oh, the art in the shop itself is beautiful.

J. E.

Best place in Bedford to have a delicious cake, tasty and nutritious baguette and a fantastic coffee. I love the fact that they use organic ingredients. You can see the artistry in everything they do. Wonderful people serving wonderful food.

S. F.

Had a nice vibe. Food was nice, and brought a nice card.

w. d.

Nice surroundings in the Art Shop, friendly service, limited menu but well prepared. Been there a number of times and always been satisfied.

C. a.

Couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Honestly so lovely and and helpful when looking to get a print framed. Amazing. Thank you

D. S.

We have been going here regularly. Sourdough bread is amazing as are the coffee and cakes. Very friendly place to go would definitely recommend

m. d.

Nice place for tea and cakes, with a small integrated store.

*THIS IS A REVIEW FOR DELICES* I have been here several times and always loved it - my most recent visit was for my mum's birthday breakfast - authentic cafe au lait with croissant for her, croissant aux amandes and mocha for me and pain au chocolat for the chocolate monster 4 year old, who also sampled the hot chocolate. I can say not a drop or crumb was left by the end, all delicious. A great place to take someone out for a special treat, so far removed from all those run of the mill chain cafes. I had also taken the plunge and ordered one of their made to order celebration cakes - the Gateau au Macaron - so we collected it at the same time. I cannot praise it enough, it is a true special occasion cake. It is absolutely stunning to look at, both inside and out, a total work of art. The flavours are fresh, fruity and delicate all at the same time, with lychees and rose cream in the middle, and the biggest juiciest raspberries you have ever seen on the edge. To look at, I thought it would be a really precarious construction but it does not fall apart or squash up when you cut into it (carefully obviously!), it is incredibly well put together. I can tell you that we will be talking about this cake for a long time! I would have no hesitation recommending a made to order cake from here - it was a bit of an impulse order in that I didn't really know what to expect but it exceeded all my expectations.

M. L.

Just passing by and was drawn inside by the breads and cakes. Bought a fresh crusty loaf which was delicious with butter and apricot jam! Diane and Géraldine made me feel very welcome. Didn't have time for coffee, but smelt wonderful. Will definately return for the coffee and a slice of cake very soon. Well worth a visit when you a looking for somewhere different to stop, chat and enjoy the atmosphere inside this lovely French cafe.

H. R.

I love visiting art galleries in London's but as a mk resident, it is fantastic to have art brought closer to home to go and see. Great too to get free entry on a Tuesday. Love the novel things in the gift shop as well. Volunteers are always very friendly and helpful.

G. P.

Praise where it's due: this was the BEST cortado that I have ever had. Delicious and presented well. The staff were absolutely lovely too. An absolute gem!

A. A.

I like this shop. There are home 🏡 articles you can buy. As well as coffee. Chilled relax sit in or out. Friendly. I go there often.

R. W.

Lovely lunch, excellent value!

A. E.

Lovely food and lovely tea. My only recommendation is providing syrup for coffee, some of us are pure neanderthals. Great atmosphere though with a huge wall of glass and natural light.

H. P.

Very pleasant, swift staff. Airy, light atmosphere inside and gorgeous to sit outside when the sun is out enjoying a cup of tea and a Bombe Rouge. They have an excellent selection of tasty sandwiches, quiches, desserts, pastries, jams and more.

I. L.

What a find. Great variety of Quality gifts/original cards & pictures and a delightful café. Had a light snack, tea and brownies! Fresh produce served by delightful team . Will certainly visit again.

j. k.

Second time here- good coffee but extraordinary local sausage rolls - tried another one today and they are really amzing! And I am not a fan of sausage roll!

B. S.

Love this place great coffee. Come here a couple of times a week. Staff friendly and efficient and their sourdough bread is lovely. Definitely recommend

D. B.

I ordered a cake for my wife's birthday. Delices prepared a beautiful and delicious fraisier with a nice "French touch". I definitely recommend. Since then, I come regularly for their baguettes as well

K. S.

Delicious lunch here today. Yummy cake and coffee too. So sad they won't be here after Christmas,but wishing them lots of luck in their new venture.

S. C.

Woooow, excellent value ,u pay a little more then the town cafe but it's worth it, excellent choice in drinks and food,there are cards bein sold there,very gd selection

j. s.

So much fun marble art and tea and cake

Y. L.

The Cortado I ordered was served cold, most likely served with cold milk. A sandwich is £4-£5 which is double the price for half the size of a French sandwich. They need price changes and a more consistent delivery of beverages

F. R.

The best sausage rolls in Bedford! The staff are always friendly. Really nice cafe

R. S.

Fantastic coffee place with delicious hand made sausage rolls worth to try.

D. G.

Good gaff...pleasant, clean, comfy place. Wooden Hill coffee good, superb cocoa bread bun....warm, gooey, extry chocolatey. Not the cheapest place in town but there's real quality here....mmmmmmm!

R. T.

Have used The Gallery several times to frame tapestries. Received good advice on the frame itself and the colour of the surround that will bring out the best of the picture.

I. W.
