Ivel Valley Coffee Shop in Central Bedfordshire

Had a great full breakfast. Quick service & friendly staff.

I was there on a discount day, the other one is apparently held in April. I got 10% off everything in the garden centre and cafe. The cafe closed earlier than I expected as " the ovens needed to cool down before closing", but the seasonal hot drinks were delicious and still available to buy, as was delicious cake and pasties such as sausage rolls and Cornish pasties. The staff are nice and helpful.

we are from doncaster visiting relatives and always come to the watering can cafe for breakfast it is gorgeous, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, Tom's and crunchy hash brown all lovely but their sausages (gluten free) are brilliant, highly recommended, place is air condioned, separate area for dogs, very friendly staff, can wait to come again, till next time 🍽

After my last lunchtime visit to the cafe which was disappointing I decided to try again and have breakfast, the lady who took my order was very nice, said hello and was cheerful, I ordered the watering can breakfast which I was looking forward to as I had not eaten since lunchtime the previous day. When it arrived the plate was greasy where the obliterated egg was which I had ordered 'covered' it was flattened and broken and not at all nice to look at, the bacon was also greasy and so overcooked. It looked like it had been sitting for some time and was tough to cut. Will I try a third visit ?

Loved this place when it first opened. However, they’ve now decided that dogs are only allowed in a non air-conditioned area outside the main cafe. Such a shame to be segregated when the cafe is in a garden centre. The service is also painfully slow as there’s only one person serving. However, staff are lovely and food is great (I have a 5 star review before) but unfortunate that it’s not as dog friendly as before, and won’t be returning.

Try tasty zucchini- lemon cake 🍰

Staff in here are not very polite still waiting after 15 minutes for a tea spoon next time I'll bring my own

Ok breakfast for ok price let down by presentation. Bacon which was nice had fried egg plonked on top of it then baked beans covered the egg and bacon in a pile, quite a bizarre way to present a breakfast. Unable to recommend.

Not the best! Very watery coffee! Recently revamped shop, all looks great. Pet food pricey! However, good breakfasts etc.

Great breakfast, decent portions and very well cooked with quality ingredients. Will absolutely be returning.

Really nice place. Lovely decor, staff were friendly, breakfast was lovely & hot. The chocolate cake though was the real highlight - truly scrumptious! Really welcoming family atmosphere.

Uncooked egg uncooked sausages such a shame won’t be back

Nice quick breakfast great service

Very pleasant, doing what they can to adjust to current problems, menu should suit most tastes, with generous portions at reasonable prices.

I love this place and try to go as often as I can. I’d booked a lunch table which was fortunate as it was busy. Always delicious food and lots of sanitizers around. Atm the menu is quite limited but still a good few choices! We often go for a walk along the riverside afterwards as the portions are a good size.

Love this cafe! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nice selection of food.

V pleasant experience with excellent lunch.

cafe very good. Love garden centre. Best around. AUdrey Atkinson ICkleford

We visit at least twice a week ...my daughter has a dairy allergy and they save special cake for her to have when we go in x the food is always lovely and fresh ...the home made chilli is my fave.lovely friendly staff always x

This coffee shop is located in a garden centre, hence it is convenient if you want to buy some plants and have a cup of coffee. Overall this is not a bad place, there again it's nothing special either. Having said that I don't want to diss this too much as I had a fine coffee and my egg on toast was good. I will be more than happy to return.

I like it here and always recommend however, today my crips were stale and a cheese toastie took so long that my coffee was cold. Normally a good shout any time of day though

Gluten free fryup and brilliant service!!

Very nice coffee and good service

Stopped for a mid walk snack.Good food and a mug of tea.

Always have excellent tea and coffee in the Coffee Shop when visiting the garden centre. A good selection of cakes etc., as well as nicely cooked and prepared lunches.

Highly recommend this coffee shop - hard to beat. Great food - sandwiches / jacket potatoes / cakes etc., staff are very helpful and friendly and can accommodate most reasonable requests. Gluten free bread & cakes available. Definitely worth a visit when visiting the Nursery. Small gift shop on site too. Have been many times and they definitely are worth a mention😁

Scrambled eggs on toast were very good, nice bread! Flat white, nice and hot, not to much froth and a good coffee, nice and strong! Very friendly staff also a loyalty scheme on hot drinks. At time of dining, Scrambled eggs (3) on toast = £3.50, flat white = £2.30 a total of £5.80 for my lunch, not bad I say GVFM!

Such a lovely cafe with friendly and helpful staff. Simple but good food- with healthy portions. Lovely atmosphere, a credit to Langford.

Good little cafe with nice food, snacks and cake, tea and coffee good

Delicious fuller English breakfast

We visited the coffee shop at lunchtime and had a snack which was fried egg on toast. It was great. Three eggs! My wife had scrambled eggs and she could not finish it. There was so much. Go there if you can.

Lovely coffee shop inside a lovely garden centre

Today was my first visit... lovely coffee and cake. Friendly staff. Clean and spacious toilets. Plenty of seating. Looking forward to my next visit.

Had to wait a long time for the food

It is a friendly stop for cyclists. The coffee is hot and strong. The food is pretty average but service is reasonably quick even when they are busy. There is amble space to leave bikes and keep an eye on them while in the cafe.

Good cafe with varied choice of menu.

Having had a disappointing time at M & S A1 Biggleswade Retail park where the service was awful and food never arrived. We came here for an excellent sandwiches and coffee served on time with politeness. Thanks guys

Nice place to meet and have coffee

popped in for coffee and cake on our way to a Premier Inn. Pleasant enough and friendly service. Bit noisy but it was full up. Not many cakes on offer but all very nice

Fresh cooked clean and with friendly staff and great prices a hidden gem for sure. Will be visiting again

A great little place friendly with a good choice highly recommend

Our once a week this has been our usual place for coffee and cake following a long walk around Langford, Clifton and Henlow. Can be busy. We sometimes book for coffee as our party usually has twelve or more.

Dreadful experience coffee machine not ready, 1 hour wait for drinks rude manager

Good place for walkers to take a break and have a drink and a bite.

Clean, light, airy. Nice coffee, fabulous ploughman's - great value too!.
