We used to come a lot before the council changed the free parking nearby. Missed it so much. Just look at this perfection! Best coffee in Bedford and worth the walk! Lots of seating and space. Glad to come back this morning after too long.

A great find, it’s been on my radar for a while. Loved the menu choices. Not seen smorrebrod before outside of Denmark. Counter of cakes had me drooling. Quirky inside, the place definitely stands out to other cafes. Recommend for brunch!
