Coffee With Art in Bedford

Just a great vibe and good food

Amazing atmosphere, so much to look at. Everything is tailored to the theme.

Very poor attitude from staff. I used to come here many years ago and enjoyed it, but have since had a few moments that have made me feel very uncomfortable. The coffees are also poorly made (the flat white is watery; not a proper flat white).

Excellent place ! Especially the bathroom 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of my favourite cafes in Bedford but I really don't like the new digital screen that is advertising films. I think it really spoils the calm and relaxed atmosphere. Can someone turn it off please?

We have visited this café before and enjoyed it. But unfortunately on this occasion, we were not impressed. The coffee was weak and it was delivered to the table spilt into the saucer.

Great coffee nice place for a stop off! enjoyed some time here on a walk around bedford. thanks for the hospitality! also great cake!

Polite friendly staff. Fantastic food. Good atmosphere.

They stop serving their “all-day breakfast” at 4pm. I was told this at 4.02pm, after waiting for the server to finish his 5-minute chat. It was hot as balls in there so would have been quite unpleasant to sit and eat I guess. I went to MBF Cafe instead - what a difference… friendly, smiling server willing to give me food and coffee even though they should have shut at 4pm.

Sandwich I got to the the table coffee was spilt on the table from existing customer so I decided to wipe the table myself if was filthy so I moved table the atmosphere was rubbish the staff seem to be all grumpy and the bread was dry .

This cafe is a real gem! The coffee is delicious, and the teas brewed in teapots are something special. A perfect place for both breakfast and lunch. The decor is so charming that you just want to sit there, order something delicious and spend the whole day reading a book. The only drawback is that the space is a bit small, but it's still worth coming here.

Wow wow wow, what a unique little cafe and it is very unique. Ordered halloumi burger, homemade chips and salad and its the best halloumi burger I have ever tasted with lots of flavors. Doggies were very welcomed and showen lots of attention by the staff and customers too. Staff are fabulous and fantastic, very polite and helpfull and nothing is too much trouble. Ordered tea and cake, tea was served in old fashioned tea pots and with real tea. My little doggie Misty loved it there and got lots of attention and so did my friends dog Fudge. I will be making this my regular place to go for food and drinks, menu is very varied and offer lots of choices, especially for veggies and vegans.

Love this Cafe ....always good service and the Coffee is superb.

Lovely, cosy meet up place with quirky, interesting style. Huge range of menu choices.

Coffee before a meeting no issues 5*****

Great atmosphere, wonderful customer service with a friendly smile.

Still my favourite coffee shop in Bedford. Especially for breakfast. Great smooth but still quite strong coffee. Bagel and cream cheese for me and teacakes for the wife. Not much in the way of pastries, but lots of cake choices.

I can highly recommend Golden Turmeric Latte. Love it ❤ .

The name drew me in, and I was expecting the colourful coffees and an artistic flat what 😂. But regardless of that the atmosphere was awesome and very chill, I loved the quirkyness and vibe. Had breakfast and it was lovely.

Nice place for a small bite. On the high street. Had the OG panini (ham & cheese) came with a small salad and crisps. Smoothie of the day was good. Reasonable prices, unique interior. Littered with art throughout, even a fish tank by the counter.

Poor hygiene Watched the managers playing with her hair whilst on laptop at tables on a quiet morning When customers came in she severed them without washing her hands . Her attitude towards her staff made me cringe shouting across the cafe It used to have a nice atmosphere but anymore Won't be back in a hurry

Nice coffee shop on Bedford high street. Good atmosphere, very comfortable seating area. Good coffee and a very tasty brownie. Definitely recommend.

We loved it for Sunday brunch, hot food, cakes, coffee, comfort - come along!

Amazing coffee, lovely food. Nice to sit and chill.

You come here for the atmosphere, the coffee and food is nice too (although a bit pricy) but the environment is really what brings people in id say, its a lovely place to have casual conversations at .

Good coffee, the venue is warm and friendly. Lovely place.

Food is frst class staff are excellent as is the atmosphere. Oh did I mention staff are brilliant!!!

Quite expensive but good food and cool set up

Great place for a coffee etc and staff was great.

Lovely place, but sadly staff there always seem grumpy

Went in to have snack lunch as I went in with two well behaved dogs the Lovely staffs was very polite & helpful offered water couple of treats for the dogs..like to say thank you very much.always great amosphere there.

I love that place. I am here regularly. That place is all the time very busy because people in Bedford love that place. Amazing staff, cakes, coffee. And this atmosphere there.Wall ,shelfes did from original books. Highly recommended 👌.

Max was very friendly, great service. The music and atmosphere was perfect for a reading date with my partner!

Visited this gem of a cafe today for brunch. Excellent service, friendly staff and great tasty food. Will definitely be visiting again.

A must visit, I know I’m coming back, easy music playing and the atmosphere is perfect, friendly helpful staff and coffee options and cakes food. Had to be my top three coffee shops of all times. Kids drinks so the family can come and even some good board games incase you fancy being competitive with friends and family. Decor is amazing. Well done to whoever designed it. 👌

I had an incredibly tasty chicken burger here along with a matcha latte. The chicken burger was lovely but the matcha latte was perfect. Really love the eclectic design of the cafe.

Best coffee I've ever had in the UK. The coffee shop is also a good mix of quirky and cozy. It just manages to stay under the line of hipster cool. A great place to put your feet up and enjoy a tasty drink.

Great place to go for food or coffee and to relax

I visited here yesterday and found the lady at the till to be very unhelpful and grumpy. Didn’t smile or say thank you or anything at all. She was very dismissive and seemed like she didn’t want to be there. The vegetarian breakfast was so oily and the mushrooms were burnt to a crisp. The chips were also dripping in oil and to top it off, together with drinks cost £20. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this place.

The staff are fab. The coffee is perfect and love coming in for my breakfast before work. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Well done guys 😍

This delightful cafe is my favourite haunt in Bedford. Opens 8.30am which is great for an early riser. Staff all very good. Coffee is fantastic.

Despite repeatedly trying to call and email and getting no response, we still tried to visit to eat here, as we prefer to support independent cafe's. The website and reviews looked good and there was something for everyone on the menu. It was busy enough as we walked in, and we floundered trying to find a table. Christmas decorations were only just being taken down (on the 20th January!). The only table which was free was beside a member of staff, standing on a chair, trying to remove baubles from the ceiling (at what must be the busiest time of day for the café). She moved off just as we started to sit at the table, we cleaned the chair she had been using to stand on and I sat on it. Suddenly, she returned, advising us that she had been using that chair to take decorations down, we assured her that we had cleaned it, thinking this was her primary concern, but no, she just wanted HER chair back and said that we should move, to the table adjacent which was dirty and only just vacated by other customers. She stropped off in a bit of a huff and we sat for a few minutes, reeling from this experience and then the five of us got up and left. We were planning on having burgers and drinks, probably dessert too, so the café would have been at least £100 short of potential turnover for the day. Unfortunately, for us, this was a really bad first experience and whilst it is clearly a popular café, service (and in particular, attitude) fell far short of what we normally experience. We wont be trying to eat there again.

Fun place with cool atmosphere and nice music and the drinks are fabulous

Absolutely love the coffees here, I will go out my way to ensure I can get a coffee here when I am in Bedford. The atmosphere is great, it can get busy but when you get a seat you can stay here for hours! The decor is pretty cool and they have a good amount of veggie options for food.

Lovely staff, especially olly! So helpful!

Vlada is always creating a welcoming atmosphere. Great job

Had a lovely panini , teas and coffee. Staff are super friendly and efficient. Love the surroundings - really nice place to relax.

Vlada is great! Always super friendly and happy

We found today a lovely and such a worm cosy place to enjoy our morning coffee, here at Coffee with Art!! 🥰 Definitely we will come back! Nice service and atmosphere!

Amazing service from vlada great food great place to chill 10/10

Lovely cosy cafe - a real gem in the centre of Bedford!

Extremely friendly place and great atmosphere. We were served by Vlada. Very nice person.

Mia was amazing with the service. :) very friendly, energetic and helpful. Thank you

Max was really friendly and provided great service, the vegetarian breakfast was very tasty and great portion sizes! Coffee excellent as always

My girlfriend came here for her lunch, the service was horrible she had the chicken pesto the portion size was so small and she even had to go back and ask for the side salad and the crisps she had we’re stale, not worth the £6.50 it cost her, even worst than that the next day she was very sick and vomiting, she got food poisoning from here, we know this as that was the only thing she had to eat after 12pm, 100% would not recommend anyone going here

Best coffee shop in Bedford. Staff freindly a d efficient. Food is well presented and tasty. Prices are good, offering excellent value. Decor is charming and original.

Very good place 😊 nice food and staff are very welcoming and helpful! Definitely recommend

Had hot chocolate poured on me by the barista when I was sat down. While it was an accident, can’t say that the complimentary cake or £4.30 refund offered really made up for the 3 items of damaged clothing, or the pain of the boiling water, or the discomfort of having to get home in soggy brown stained clothes.

Nice cafe but vastly overpriced, £12 for a full English breakfast id expect decent butchers style sausages instead of cheap mass produced one's and also a cup of tea or coffee to go with the meal for that price but this has to be paid for separately, It would of also been nicer if the food was hot instead of barely warm.

Lovely place for meet ups and coffee

Excellent food and service was fantastic. I would recommend to visit. I will be going back again very soon. Food portions were fantastic and food is all freshly cooked. Try the chicken burger.

The staff don’t seem to care anymore. Ordered hot chocolate and latte extra hot. Neither were. Asked about it and he just shrugged and said that’s how it comes. Drank it straight down as it was Luke warm. Seems to be the attitude for everything in there now. Asked them to turn the music down once as you couldn’t hear yourself think and they ignored us. And freezing cold due to air con. Shame, always loved the place but not now

Friendly, quirky, welcoming. Quality food and drink

Visited with some friends this morning Found a table which had not been cleared , took the items to them to help out , not even a thank you from a male server who was very miserable ,myself and my friend ordered scrambled eggs on toast , very tiny amount of scrambled eggs , very disappointing , when we went back up to desk to order more drinks and cake , girl that took our order was also very miserable , only one server who removed our cups etc at the end was friendly , does not take much to smile . Won’t return

Flat white came out in a large cup, and had far too much milk in it. Had another try, but came out the same. They didn't seem to understand the issue, and later told me what I should have ordered was a small flat white. Wasn't given the option when we ordered. Staff felt really unhelpful and didn't try to help, was told I could order a small flat white but I'd have to pay for it as well as the one I'd rejected!

Great place to chill in town with a decent coffee. Tuna melt panini is proper bo!

If you are looking for a coffee shop with soul..this is the one 😍

WOW wow wowzers what a place!!!! The atmosphere is something you won't generally see with such a modern old school feeling and intuitive out of the box solutions, I'm amazed. Coffee and service quality exceeded all expectations and it's surprisingly cheap compared to most coffeeshops. Shame I'm not local, would visit every day

This modern style coffee shop is located on the High Street in the centre of town. It has a pleasant quirky interior. The prices were reasonable at £5.80 for two flat white coffees and the quality was good.

Meh. Food average, sausage with breakfast was pretty budget, service rather slow.

Good food and coffee with friendly service. The food portion sizes could be a bit bigger for the prices charged.

After only a couple of visits this is my go-to coffee spot when in Bedford as it ticks all the boxes: cool, quirky venue; comfy sofas; decent eclectic music selection always playing; and most importantly great coffee - did I mention it does the best chai latte in town? :)

A perfect day for a pot of Earl Grey…

Always my go to for a coffee whether it’s to have in or to go. Quick and friendly service and interior/atmosphere is just lovely. Delicious fresh food, and very clean. Clean toilets.

My favourite coffee shop- great atmosphere and so cozy- lovely staff too!! I always get the Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk and it is divine 💖

That's one of the lovely coffee shops am usually visit, if you are looking to have some tasty food, English breakfast, and tasty coffee, you can visit Coffe WithArt

I visited Coffee with Art with a friend a few weeks ago and just loved the atmosphere. I ordered an iced chai latte which was huge and definitely good value for the size of the drink. They also offer a variety of non-dairy milks. There are plenty of spaces to sit in the cafe with a variety of options ranging from comfy sofas to window stools. I saw plenty of people working in the café and the ambience was very positive and welcoming. I hope to come back for another visit, thank you!

Whimsical coffee lounge with great tasting coffee, comfy chairs and good atmosphere.

Great fresh scones and muffins. Coffee milk was steamed for too long, lacked the smooth micro foam they have in other photos.

came in on a sunday afternoon - great service and food. many thanks to the young man who served us. he was very helpful and sweet.

Always visit here for lunch and drinks. Lovely coffees will be back. Nice place for a quick bite and to spend some time with friends and family

A great place with lovely coffee and food👍

A lovely, cosy, and warm atmosphere. Lovely coffee and great service with a range of options to suit everybody.

* Unhelpful, miserable female staff member brought wrong order - no apology when rectified. * Meat sandwich fillings so thin that they were utterly tasteless * A customer’s dog allowed to lie all over one of the sofas.

Fantastic place 🙂 Really great venue, delicious coffees and teas available and a very moorish cheesecake muffin 😋 Absolutely loved the design of the shop as well, kept finding new things to look at. Highly recommended

I only have one complaint with CoffeeWithArt, and I have told them personally. The coffee is great but the cups are far too small! ♡

One of the best places to eat in Bedford. The staff are wonderful and the food tastes so fresh

I'm no coffee expert but this is the place where I enjoy my soy latte with vanilla most. Quirky decor. Friendly caring service although staff slightly distracted at times. Cakes and Bagels (they have much more) always enjoyable. Recommended.

Beautiful ambience. Lovely people. Great food.

Super miejsce z niesamowitą atmosfera i cudownym klimatem 🥰 Idealne miejsce na spędzenie czasu ze znajomymi przy kawie :)

Very enjoyable coffee and lunch. Relaxed atmosphere and great service.

Very good place to go. Amazing English breakfast. Staff is friendly and helpful. This shop is always busy, sometimes it’s difficult to find available table.

Really enjoyed my latte, no sugar needed as coffee quality was so good. We had toasted teacakes. Service excellent, only waited around 10 minutes after ordering, they were busy & every table was full. Highly recommended

It was such a nice experience. Went there as a new customer today and I must say the decorations and decor was fabulous including the art and the people where so welcoming and lovely and allowed me and my friends to stay there for a good amount of time to get some college work done. My personal favourites where the milkshakes ✨💯. Incredible highly recommend.

This quiry cafe gives a unique spin on coffee shops. It literally is coffee with art. The style is unique and looks different which is a bresh of fresh air from all the samey chains out there. The drinks were very nice as was the food. They have a variety of other drinks that you don't often get in the other coffee shops so it truly is a good find. The only negative is the loud music playing, it felt like it was a coffee shop night club at times. But if they turned it down a little bit it would get the full ratings it deserves. The staff were really friendly also.

Beautiful place to have tea, coffee or food. It’s also very convenient if you want an early breakfast! Recommended.

Lovely unique cafe. Just had coffee which was great. Had a lovely relaxed feel

The interior design of this place is beautiful 😍, really eye pleasing and it gives a comfortable vibe. You can work, chat, be on your own, it just feels like you could fit in regardless of your needs. You should have seen the Christmas tree made out of books or the book wall, quite an interesting approach 👍🏻 The coffee was OK, I had a coconut latte 🥥☕️🖤 A nice latte art on one of the drinks, but not as good as in other coffee shops I have been to. Customer service was OK, felt like they were understaffed. I did not have any food but it looked delicious from what I have seen. Finally, one good aspect is the variety of hot drinks from flavoured hot chocolate 🍫 to match Christmas season to a lot of non-dairy options and even matcha. I was impressed with that. I guess I will have to go back and try something else.

Excellent food coffee and atmosphere

Great cosy place, lovely food, staff very friendly. Kate was a great help with everything.
