O for coffee in Bedford

Found via Google as at a children football match, walked over and ordered our coffee, the lovely rude lady behind the sewing counter as we are waiting tells us we have to wear a mask…. 1 - it’s no longer law so we didn’t think we needed too 2 - With a Autistic child we are exempt This is not a good enough reason for them and we were told to stand outside. I didn’t realise your now able to treat someone differently because COVID. The 2 young lady’s on the coffee shop were polite and lovely and the coffee and hot chocolate tastes good too. Just be warned of the Angry lady selling fabric and other stuff.

Nice little cafe, good menu and always lots of nice specials. The coffee is good. Friendly staff. Not the most salubrious setting but well worth a visit if you are local or in the area. My kids love it there, might be something to do with the homemade cakes!

My husband and I finally got round to visiting this place after wandering past it months ago. We went in for lunch and were not disappointed. The staff were all really friendly and chatty and the place has a lovely atmosphere. The food was good and we really enjoyed the cake. We will be going back here!

"O For Coffee" may be off the beaten track (but close enough to the A6) and is best known as Tudor Rose for its Craft Shop and Crafts Courses. However, this lovely, intimate café is available to the general public as well as craft people. My wife is one of the "crafty" aficionados so I go in occasionally and a coffee and a snack are usually too tempting to ignore. Their soups and baguettes make an excellent mid-day meal and their variety of home-made cakes is excellent. In fact, my wife regularly brings home a slice of one for me. A couple of days before Christmas, when our son was home from Estonia, we called in for lunch. He had the Pulled Pork Baguette, my wife had the Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Peanut Soup and I couldn't resist a large slice of Triple Lemon Cake. She had a Caramel Latte and my son and I had Flat White Coffee. All were superb. The staff, too, are always very helpful, obliging and friendly so if you want a relaxed daytime lunch or just a good cup of coffee, I would thoroughly recommend it.

Great lunch the pulled pork baguette was fantastic. Can't wait for next visit may be cake time then.

Popped in before school for coffee and cake, the coffee was a decent quality and my children enjoyed the home made peanut chocolate brownies immensely.. It is located in the front of a fabric/handicrafts shop, so if that's your thing well worth a visit... They also stock "Posh Pop" which has to be the best soft drinks range I've ever tasted! They are made by Breckland orchard FYI

Tried it out rather than travel to a more recognised place for a working lunch, now would travel to come here. Small quirky place, with small quirky menu that is happy to adapt to your quirky demands. Delightful, and quirky, home made selection of cakes & other treats. Good, friendly service, and wonderfully efficient. Highly recommended, though tempted to keep it secret.

Stopped here yesterday for a light lunch in all that rain. We had the salmon and crayfish tail salad which was delicious. If you need haberdashery then this is the place for you. A really nice, clean shop with friendly staff
