Coffee At Star in Bedford

We have been coming to Coffee at Star for a good number of years, for as long as we’ve been parents of a Junior rower! Firstly, it’s an incredibly welcoming and inclusive place to come. You don’t have to be a member of either Star Club or Falcon. Dogs are welcome and it’s so nice to see so many there on a weekend especially. The service has always been exceptional, it’s run by Ann and her team. They offer the best hospitality, which we’re not always known for in the UK! The location is very special, with immediate views of the Great River Ouse from the balcony. There is also a modern, cosy space inside with sofas, tables, chairs with plenty of blankets and cushions to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. The selection of food never disappoints. I can vouch for all of it that I’ve tried (and I’ve had a lot!). I am a regular consumer of their waffles with yoghurt and fruit, I enjoy the granola bowl too. My kids enjoy the waffles with bacon, the halloumi breakfast bap is a family favourite and of course they sell essential bacon/egg baps as well as just toast! Breakfast, brunch isn’t where is stops. There is always cake available, meaning it becomes an ideal place to drop in, have a bite to eat and drink and enjoy the views! Have I mentioned that the coffee is AMAZING, they have a wide selection available and I can vouch for their delicious skinny flat white and chai latte. The smoothies are a hit with parents, the kids and everyone else it seems. A must for your trip to the Riverside in Bedford!

Good food, nice views. Really lovely little cafe

Excellent coffee, river views and dog friendly! Ideal for warming up after a riverside walk.

If you are particular about your coffee - then you won't be disappointed plus really tasty brunches (they aren't shy with the bacon in their butties) and cakes. The venue is large, airy and comfy with great views of the river too (and outside balcony seating too) and the staff are friendly and professional. I often take my laptop and work from there for a welcome change from the home office.

A hidden gem. Such gorgeous views from the balcony watching the rowers go out and the people walk by. Lovely coffees, brunch and lunch. They also serve alcohol. Super friendly staff. Dogs are also allowed!
