Cafe Bodega in Herefordshire, County of

Sue and staff provided a cheerful atmosphere within easy walking distance of the Cathedral. A good selection of home made cakes and a good hot brew of tea. A well organised menu that changes each week. The Bodega will soon change hands.

Went with my beatifull wife enjoyed our soups very much. The staff were friendly and the prices were excellent aswel

Called in for a quick lunch, wife loved the quiche and I thought my bacon, brie and cranberry toasty the best i have ever had. The salad was so fresh it makes such a change from the normal rubbish you tend to get. Well done ! A lovely little place that deserves a visit and we will be back soon.

A brew and slice of cake hit the right spot after a chilled walk alongside the river Wye. The river was quite full with tree debris washed hard up against the stone work. An airy cafe down from the cathedral, with very cheery staff and a good menu too. I shall gradually work my way down the list of cakes on offer next time we visit. So pleased we called in, a refreshing change from the more commercial cafes in the High town area.

Always call in when in town whether for just a coffe or lunch. Always excellent, friendly sercice and quality fresh food. Coffee is best in Hereford. Great value too.

We were looking for a light lunch and found this Spanish named cafe near the cathedral. Very clean, good food and service, and reasonable prices. Recommended.

Super brunch in the view of the cathedral. Super friendly and helpful. Clean loo 👍 Breakfast was perfect. Good choice for everyone

Came out of the cathedral in pouring rain and headed for the cafe sign. Real treat of lovely atmosphere, helpful staff and good selection of lunches. I had baked potato with Tuna and a coffee, other half had homemade soup. Lots of other choices and cakes.

Lunch for two.......super friendly staff, excellent quiche. Covid safe and very welcoming. Great selection of specialty teas!.....hank you....

Love this place. The staff are friendly and the food is tasty, with a great choice and value for money. It’s always busy so that says it all.

Sought this little cafe out having read the reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. The menu selection was great with lots of home made options. I opted for the home made quiche and it was delicious. Well worth a stop.

A truly wonderful find. Very friendly, fab food. The cakes are truly magnificent. Definitely worth a stop off

First class little cafe situated close to the cathedral. Small outside seating, friendly and polite staff, Great coffee.

Really lovely little cafe with a great atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. We went for a post-Cathedral visit lunchtime snack in the new era of ‘eat out to help out’ - which we’d forgotten about - and found this charming little local cafe. The layout is COVID secure, and the staff were scrupulous about making sure they, and we, adhered to the latest rules. Everything we ordered was not only beautifully cooked, but carefully presented and clearly very fresh. Superb food, lovely friendly staff and they even had Classic FM on the radio. Perfect! Incredible value, too, especially with the new offer on as a result of the COVID initiative. Highly recommend visiting to support this great little cafe.

Well worth a visit. We had breakfast on 2 occasions. They had been open again after ‘lockdown’ for approx 2 weeks and had obviously worked VERY hard in setting out the cafe safely for all. The cleanliness has been taken seriously. Hand sanitiser on each table. The ladies are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food and service. A popular cafe for local people, which is a good sign. Thank you to everyone involved in making our visits safe and welcoming.

Delightful lunch of soup and quiche with salad and pot of tea. Good ingredients, beautifully prepared with excellent service. And good value. Go and enjoy this local cafe instead of big names for special meal

We stopped and had a relaxed coffee and cake. The service was quick, the atmosphere very friendly, and the food delicious and very reasonable. The squidgy chocolate brownie was well worth the visit. I wished we were staying for lunch as the menu looked delicious. When next in Hereford, I will definitely return.

This breakfast is simply the best In this county everything is cooked fresh the sausage and bacon are all butchers made and not the cheap packet stuff and the toast is superb I cannot fault this as I have yet to find one better

I was visiting Hereford and decided to try here for lunch. I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff and served quickly. I opted for the Canarian Chicken. It arrived quickly and was served with a tasty fresh salad, coleslaw and a slice of bread. Everything was very tasty indeed. I had coffee with it and then a slice of the brownie. The brownie was soft and sticky in the middle with just a little crunch on the outside. It was just right. The coffee for me was the only let down. Its not a criticism of the coffee just my personal taste, for me it was served too hot and did not have enough 'bite' to it. The price was reasonable. I will definitely go back when I return to Hereford in the future.

Yummy Breakfast! Top quality ingredients and great value for money! Proper pot of tea too :-) Very warm, welcoming environment and staff are lovely! Thanks!

Lovely relaxed cafe, close to Cathedral and centre of town. Good lunch and scrummy coffee, recommended

Beautiful breakfast. Best in town. Piping hot and quick service. Lovely staff. Friendly atmosphere..

Walking by and decided to pop in for coffee, I ended up having 2 glasses of wine and my fiancé had 2 pots of tea £12:40 bargain. Very efficient staff with excellent customer service. Didn’t eat but the food menu looks amazing. The fresh homemade quiche looked Devine. Free WiFi. Very clean. I will definitely be going back soon for food.

Tiny walk from the cathedral with the friendliest staff with smiles on their faces. It was a cold day when we went and we were desperate for a coffee and cake and they were so lovely and friendly, fab coffee and great teacakes. Amazing!!

Lovely atmosphere and warm kind staff. Just pleeeeeeeeeease out more effort into barista talent, worst flat white I've had in a very long time.

What a joy this cafe is! Relaxed atmosphere, delightful staff who know how to be attentive but not invasive. Delicious light and fluffy cheese scones and hot coffee. Stayed longer than expected as is was so relaxing,

Friendly service and one of the freshest scones I have had on this trip. Well made coffee too and relaxed surroundings.

Today I went in for the first time after walking passed it several times going into town.

Visited here on a Sunday & what a joy the place is. Very clean, staff superb, only had a light lunch of soup of the day & my better half had a toasted sandwivh which came with all the trimmings. Other diners had various meals which all looked well presented.

Nice cafe with a reasonable choice of food. My wife really enjoyed the meatballs dish and I thought the Ploughmans was pretty good.

Came here for late lunch . Chose quiche and given option of having it served hot or cold . Chose to have it hot, and it came with green salad, hot new potatoes, and coleslaw. There was a generous portion of quiche , and it was very tasty . Meal cost £6.75. Service was good and did not have to wait long for meal to be served . The café was very clean and modern . It is about two minutes walk from the cathedral .

Stopped by this cafe by chance after visiting Hereford. Perfect stop for a quick lunch - ham and cheese toastie and a sandwich both came with salad and coleslaw, all of which was filling. Would love to have had a cake but perhaps next time!

Stopped off in Hereford for a quick break . Staff are nice and meatballs are ok but don’t expect big portions. Have to say paying 2.30 for a milkshake which is only flavoured not happy. Then realise that I could have upgraded to a Milkshake for 3.10 which would have had ice cream and whipped cream. Unimpressed .

Cafe Bodega has become our favourite stop for coffee and a snack in Hereford. The coffee has a great chocolate taste and is not bitter at all. The cafetière gives a generous 2 cups. If we have a cake the squidgy brownies are great and the scones always fresh. Only one small niggle, if you order toast whilst the toast is great, it doesn’t always come with the coffee, so I have drunk coffee by then. Old guy with habits, sorry. Service always friendly and happy. Great to support local business in great location

My friend lives in Hereford and recommend that we have lunch here.

Situated a few metres from the cathedral gates, we popped in for an early light lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. The better half had a quiche with salad and a few spuds followed by a luxury strawberry milk shake while I sampled the Bodega meatballs with salad. Although not massive meals they were adequate for us and very tasty. Coupled with excellent friendly service this cafe deserves to do well.

Lovely cafe for lunch. Good quality food with a good selection on the menu. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff

On a day trip to Hereford and popped into Cafe Bodega for refreshments. Great place and wonderful, friendly service. Would highly recommend the cream tea!

We travelled into Hereford by bus which was quite an experience which we didn't repeat on the way back to our hotel. Cafe Bodega was only a stone's throw away from the Cathedral so we decided to have a Mocha which re-energised our spirit.

Lovely café situated close to the Cathedral which gives excellent views of the sunset reflecting on the stained glass windows. I felt compelled to write this review as the owners went above and beyond the normal service you might expect from a local café. The café owner stayed open for an extra hour whilst my elderly parents waited for a lift and as they both have mobility issues this was a kind act . Nothing was too much trouble for the proprietor bringing over extra serviettes etc. In terms of the cuisine my Dad particularly enjoyed the homemade scone and the cappuccino. Would wholly recommend the friendly and personal service.

Really enjoyed the food. Staff are friendly and helpful and will offer some flexibility to meet dietary requirements.

I’m a serious baker and I have to say, Cafe Bodega makes the best cheese scones I’ve ever tasted. The wonderful array of cakes, scones, quiches etc. is enough to have you dribbling and as is said, the proof of the pudding and all that...... yes, it’s clean plates all round. And if that’s not enough there is a lovely atmosphere in the place and the staff are warm and friendly.

Now we have gone pass Cafe Bodega a few times on trips to Hereford, but there has never been a table free, a good sign I would think.

Called in here between looking at Cathedral and going back ti Mappa Mundi.

Great food. Stopped on my travels for some late morning breakfast. Had a really nice cooked breakfast, colleague had eggs and Salmon.

And located a stone's throw from the cathedral. Not open for supper, but if you're visiting Hereford this is a good place for lunch. We had the plowman's -- a big serving, with two cheeses and greens -- but the hot entrees on the board looked inviting. Prices are reasonable and the setting is pleasant, quiet, and relaxed.

Small quaint cafe. Very friendly staff. Traditional menu, with reasonable prices. A lovely view of Hereford cathedral.

A small cafe just out of the city centre close to the cathedral. Well worth finding it.

I can recommend the coffee and teacakes at any time. A great mid morning snack. Also the staff are always helpful and friendly.

A friend and I recently spent a week in Hereford and we had morning coffee in Bodega most mornings. We never bothered to look for anywhere else, the Bodega was lovely. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, the coffee was great and the whole place is spotlessly clean, including the toilet. The Bodega has a friendly atmosphere and we felt very comfortable there. Ideally placed in the centre of Hereford, a stone's throw from the cathedral. Highly recommended.

Went here for lunch . Good menu catering for every diet. Service was good. . Food was very tasty. Soup of the day and Panni. . Would recommend it

Had a very tasty quiche, salad and coleslaw for lunch. Returned later for Brie and cranberry sandwich, salad and coleslaw, followed by scrumptious fruit cake. Great find on our visit to see the Weeping Window of poppies at the cathedral.

Thank you for providing such a warm and welcoming atmosphere - such a lovely change from all the Starbucks of this world. Tired of those chains....thank you for making an intelligent suggestion around how to get round my allergy.

A nice welcoming cafe off the main track but worth searching out. Few tables so peacefully quite to enjoy your meal or coffee. Food made to order.

We popped in here for a coffee today. The excellent, friendly and attentive service coupled with the great ambiance make this a top coffee shop for me. Would you back if we lived there.

An unassuming cafe very close to the cathedral. I have enjoyed a few delicious cooked breakfasts, excellent ingredients, very good value. Best I've had in Hereford, and I've tried a few. Only downside is it doesn't open until 10 am which is too late for me most of the time so only 4 stars , not the full 5*.

Ideal if you are visiting the cathedral. Good selection of food. Quite small but some tables available outside on the pavement if warm enough.

We had delicious freshly baked scones, good coffees, and the service was friendly and efficient. Close to the cathedral.

Near Cathedral. Very popular so tables in demand. Coffee excellent, actually hot without burning the milk. Scones nice with clotted cream.

This is a nicely fitted out cafe very close to the cathedral. We had considered lunching here, but were disappointed by the very small choice of vegetarian dishes, however returned for tea and cakes. We thought the choice of cakes, for a cafe, was disappointing, only three (at around 2 pm) but it is beautifully fitted out and was obviously popular.

A lovely cafe, friendly and helpful staff and food delicious! Would definitely visit again. Thank you:)

We have only just started using this place as it is close to where we live. We have been twice recently for s light lunch. Very welcoming , nice staff. I don't think one could find a nicer Quiche, salads well prepared . Most recent visit i tried the meat balls in a sauce . They were very good , the sauce was really very good, BUT , Salad and cold small new potatoes do not go well with a hot dish like that . It would be fine with some hot potatoes and vegetables. I asked for some bread to mop it up , the lady said i was not the first to ask and also some people had asked for a spoon , not to waste the gorgeous sauce. It is reasonably priced and a nice no choice red or white wine available again reasonably priced. One little niggle I was charged 70p for half a slice of granary bread , I noted on my bill afterwards. We will certainly be going back and recommending it to our friends . You couldn't do much better for a nice light lunch at a good sensible price.

Sort of half cafe and half tapas bar, with choice of 3 tapas dishes which are served with salad, potatoes and coleslaw (unlike other tapas restaurants you are meant to chose one of these). Also had a selection of 3 dips and warm pitta bread whilst waiting. ... and a glass of house wine, either merlot or pinot grigio, which were pretty good. The tapas was really tasty, and was surprisingly filling. A good find - and we heard many other customers commenting on how good the food was.The owners are really nice too and I suspect thats part oft he attraction and would make people go back. Would recommend.

Glad we decided to give the cathedral cafe a miss and try here instead. Staff were welcoming and accommodating with food choices. Food was lovely and cakes looked amazing, the cherry flapjack was fantastic!

Found this place after the cathedral cafe was heaving, and we're so glad we did! Lovely lunch, staff happy to accommodate special requests and cherry flapjack to die for!

Called in here and loved it.care taken by staff in food preparation especially the very young girl doing the salads.Pretty sure mother and daughter looked after us and everything was clean,pleasant and good value.

Fabulously placed across the road from the Cathedral. We popped in for a bite to eat before my sons graduation ceremony. Toasted tuna melt was deIcious and the pitta and houmus looked good too, lemon drizzle cake one of the best i've tried. Lovely friendly atmosphere and staff. The loo is exceptionally clean with nice touches, fresh flowers, hand lotion.... wouldnt hesitate to return :)

Good choice of light lunches and cakes at a reasonable price. Teas and Coffees good. Staff very friendly and helpful. WiFi available.

I had the meatballs. My partner had the biggest, most amazing piece of quiche I've ever seen. The salad was fresh and the coleslaw was clearly home made. We sat outside, at the foot of the cathedral. It was really lovely. If you are in Hereford, don't leave without stopping here. Well worth the visit

Strangers to the town, we happened upon this lovely cafe quite by chance. Not very big but also not crowded with tables so plenty of space. We opted for the tapas for two. It was delicious but we felt it would have benefited by the addition of one more element.

After a visit to Hereford Cathedral we found Cafe Bodega just in King Street a few steps away. Great choices for GF - meatballs with new pots and salad - husband had this and it was amazing. Also available a chicken dish, toasted sandwiches, jacket pots, pea and mint soup or carrot and coriander. GF glorious. All other food amazing too. Really helpful friendly staff and lovely restful cafe - you have got to try even if you are not a celiac.

Popped in for a coffee after visiting the cathedral. I only really wanted a drink but the cakes looked delicious and I couldn't resist! Highly recommend the carrot cake. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. There looked to be a very choice of dishes on offer, though we just had the coffee and cake.

It looked busy, so we decided it was worth trying.

Found this delightful place while walking from the parking lot to the Cathedral in Hereford. A pleasant spot for a coffee before exploring the Cathedral which is almost opposite.

Popped in here for a quick lunch with my sister when visiting the Cathedral in Hereford. This was really close to the cathedral and had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and delivered great service. The food was very good, all homemade and freshly made. The toasted sandwiches are very good as was the soup my sister had which was a very decent portion with plenty of bread.

This was a great place for a quick lunch whilst visiting the cathedral. The toasted sandwiches were lovely and served with a very nice salad garnish. The daily special was also very good. Good value and excellent service.

Popped in here for lunch and were pleased to see a local, independently run business offering such a variety of refreshments. It seemed pleasant enough until we came to leave. They were eager enough to take our money and exceedingly keen to see us go. While our backs were turned as we were at the till paying, one of the waitresses was clearing down the table even though our bags and coats were still on it. I was not impressed with this at all.

A great cafe very near the cathedral. Its always very warm inside. The food is all homemade and freshly made. The owners make you feel very welcome. A fab place for breakfast , coffee or lunch. gluten free choices available.

Not for large groups. A cosy well furnished cafe. Normal food range coffee, cakes, milkshakes. Very warm welcome. Spanish influence. Good Menu for lunch. Nice atmosphere and furnishings.

Located close to Hereford Cathedral, Cafe Bodega is a relaxed, warm and friendly place for food and a drink. Offering light snacks, breakfasts as well as gluten free options, this place is a hidden gem worth seeking out.

Popped in for a cuppa before visiting the Cathedral. Staff very friendly and patient as some of our party changed their minds on drinks. Decided to come back for lunch. Again lovely food . Tasty dishes with Large salad. Great service. It's very near the Cathedral. Recommend a visit.

This cafe is in an excellent location close to the cathedral. It has a varied and reasonably priced menu. The two ladies who served our group of five, (mother and daughter?) were very pleasant and efficient. We all enjoyed delicious bowls of soup.

Honestly, anyone in Hereford should come. Not only were the staff friendly, they also had a beautiful brownie, milkshakes and sandwiches. 5 stars every Time!

Wow! A fabulous little cafe right by Hereford Cathedral (king street) really good food & very friendly staff. We noticed that they will change things on the menu to accommodate your taste.

This is a very nice cafe in Hereford. The staff are friendly and the food is great. We only had a small bite but the other food looked delicious and other customers said so. The milkshakes were great and it is a peaceful environment. It could do with more steering but due to the size of the building that seems impossible. Overall an incredible eatery! Great job!

Lovely little café and highly recommended. We were wandering around looking for a tea room and came across this gorgeous place. Very clean and comfortable surroundings. ae both had A large hearty bowl of homemade soup. I had the tomato and basil my son had carrot and coriander. We were both full after that as it was a meal in its self. Very friendly staff.

Found this place by accident while cycling through the county. Had coffees and mozzarella sandwiches. Brilliant coffee and well presented food. (Fantastic coleslaw!) Excellent service from kind and thoughtful staff who offered to fill our water bottles. Decor and colour scheme are well thought out and the cafe sits on the sunny side of the street a stone's throw from the cathedral. If you are in the area, give it a visit.

A lovely cafe with a quiet and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was lovely and the decor was homely and warm. The homemade coleslaw was one of the best I have tasted. I will definitely be going back next time I visit Hereford.

We came across this cafe by chance during our visit to Hereford, but it is just near the cathedral. As we came in from the road, we found it to be very quiet inside, a lovely relaxing atmosphere. We also noticed a lot of attention to detail, there were pretty table settings, with bunting and lanterns decorating the interior which made for a lovely ambiance. The drinks menu offers a wide selection of teas and coffees and other treats such as milkshakes. There were lots of food options on offer, we went for mozzarella toasties, which come with vegetarian pesto and a lovely home made coleslaw. The sandwiches were tasty and had lots of filling. The ladies that run the cafe were very warm and friendly, and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area - would definitely recommend!

What a lovely place. The staff were so warm and friendly, the design was bright and modern and the food was wonderful.I had the ploughman's and there several big chunks of brie and cheddar, salad,apple , chutney and silverskin pickled onions- everyone else's was lovely too. There were a good selection of meals and snacks, with a great assortment of hot and cold drinks. I can't wait to visit the again the next time we are down that way.

i will be back again within the month to the friendliest place in hereford

This cafe was just charming with lovely decor. Had tea, which was served in a china teapot and cake. Friendly staff, clean and tidy, very glad we found this place.

Nicely decorated with lanterns and fairy lights. The cafe was full during a Monday lunch time. The menu has lots of choice from soup of the day to quiches to toasties to sandwiches to salads. There are also a couple of specials. It is really reasonably priced at around £5 for a sandwich and there is a varied drinks menu. My companions had a bacon, brie and cranberry toastie on gluten free bread and a cheese and tomato sandwich. Both served with really fresh salad..I had a special of a chicken dish and salad. There is lots of space too so we didn't feel cramped. We will be back for lunch again. Service was great too.

We were recently visiting Hereford and came across this place by sheer luck, and glad we did we were tired and hungry, made to feel very welcome, and looked after very well. The food is home made and tasty, so much so we were back the very next day before catching our train home. We will be back again.

Arrived just before they officially opened on Saturday morning but were welcomed in out of the rain. We had the lighter breakfast which was lovely. Everything cooked from fresh. Would definitely go back.

Came here today for the first time. I had Canarian chicken & my partner had Cincinnati meatballs. They were served with a lovely fresh salad & new potatoes. We both really enjoyed our food and will definitely be returning. Good size portions at reasonable prices.

Tried Cafe Bodega for the first time & I was very impressed. The decor was very nice and the staff were very welcoming. I had the Cincinnati meat balls and they were delicious. I will definitely be visiting more often.
