The Orchard Kitchen in Bedford

Hidden gem, what a lovely surprise!! It’s really difficult to please my veggie wife and get a great cooked breakfast!!. The Orchard kitchen does this with style and a smile. Front of house led by Shannon, a credit to the business. Even nice toilets! We will definitely be back.

What a lovely place. My husband had full english whilst I had the pancakes. We both really enjoyed our meals. The service was great also. We look forwadd yo going again. Maybe for lunch next time.

What a great find. Stopped here on our way home and so pleased we did. Lovely friendly staff, fabulous coffee and amazing food. We all had a cooked breakfast, the ingredients are fabulous, homemade beans and sausage were favourites. We will be visit again when near

Super little cafe. Menu is small but perfectly formed, with daily specials. Simple food done well. Great staff, good value for money. Well worth dropping off the A38 for.

Loved it, great location. Staff were friendly with fantastic service. The food and coffee were both really good too😊 .

Heard great reviews from friends but was very disappointed to find no access for a wheel chair. How can this be for a brand new cafe purpose built on the first floor ? SHAME R&F. Buckfastleigh

Had high hopes for this place. Really relaxed vibe but it took a long time (45 mins) to receive our food (cooked breakfast). The food presentation was pretty decent but the beans went cold very quickly and the bacon was overdone. Maybe they were having an off-day. Dog friendly.

Not far off the A38 trunk road we discovered this. Absolutely great breakfast with top quality ingredients, lots of parking, pleasant views across the hills and friendly staff. All very good and highly recommended.

This place hides its light under a bushel. The young couple have created a lovely space; clean lines, pared back and simple, but sufficiently hygge (with friendly dog). As with many owner-managed kitchens - they clearly care about their quality of product & service - and it's peppered with nice touches - orange flavoured water, aniseed in the coffee bites, indian themed eggs. The brunch was delicious. This is one of the best quality brunch establishments in Totnes-Ashburton area, and deserves great success.

First time here and we found it whilst on route to the coast. Lovely shop and we were delighted by the food although we only had soup and sandwiches but they were all served correctly. Plenty of choice and something for everyone. Staff were also very good. Certainly we would return.

The food is delicious and they use fresh ingredients. Reasonably priced. Am looking forward to visiting again in the future.

It's great to finally have a healthy food option for b/f, brunch and lunch in Buckfastleigh. Everything is so fresh and tastes so good, and the coffee is sopt on, what more can you ask for! Great atmosphere, lovely staff, perfect for a mid week lunch solo or bruch with the kids at the weekend :)

Relaxed friendly welcome. Spacious and very stylish space. Delicious food - toastie was excellent. Good coffee. Attentive service.

Can’t fault this venue. Well thought out with a healthy menu on offer. Very friendly staff. Food was amazing, lots of choice and as a pescatarian lots to choose from, unusual to find somewhere I like the menu of. As well as my meat eating family. Will certainly be popping in again. Scones and cakes looked delicious, so will perhaps have lunch there next time.

Delicious! Stopped here for brunch on our way home from holidaying in Cornwall and we were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and the food was fab. Dog friendly too!

What a lovely little venue, airy, clean and the best hot cheese scone I have ever tasted, plus delicious coffee ( Americano) and orange curd loaf cake. Lovely ambience with airy inside seating as well as outside balcony seating, quite small but a lovely setting...

My husband and I turned off the road on a whim for an early lunch on our way to Plymouth from East Devon and I’m so glad we did - the Orchard Kitchen was a fantastic find! We were delighted when on arrival the service...

A great find by one of my friends, great location for us as half of us live in plymouth and half in Torbay so was 20-30 minutes drive for all of us. The menu is fairly small but I fancied everything on it to be...

A hidden gem! This cafe has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Bright and airy cafe. Delicious and varied menu. Highly recommend!

We live in Torbay and first discovered the Orchard Kitchen when we bought a wood burner from Dean Forge (cafe situated upstairs). We tend to visit at least a couple of times each month and every visit is a fantastic experience from the friendly team,...

Wow. This place is like the opposite of Manchester United, it just gets better & better. Chicken & leak pastie with hybrid salads topped off by passion fruit & orange cheesecake. The zenith of the week. No word inflation.

Stopped here for lunch after reading the reviews. So glad we did. We both went for the soup and toasted sandwich. Soup of the day was mushroom and thyme which came with a large tasty crouton and a blob of soured cream - delicious. The...

It was our second visit after a great first visit! It’s a warm welcome for all, a lovely selection food. We would highly recommend a visit.

Wonderful place, best smashed avocado and poached eggs ever! Beautiful people and penny the pup was a lovely surprise 🐶

This place is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I often find when we are travelling we end up in cafes with beige food and same old pastries for brunch. We stumbled across this place and it is just wonderful. We had two of the specials and my partner...

Found this place on our way to the Devon steam railway. A very warm welcome followed by one of the best breakfasts you will have. Nothing too much trouble and quality all the way.

We cannot recommend this place highly enough!! All the staff are very helpful and the food menu and specials board are to die for. We will be back thank you!!

From sitting down to eating it took an hour for poached egg. The egg was nice but just seems mental. Staff very friendly. Menu was a bit on the short side, would have been ideal if the breakfast was all day to make up for...

Needed somewhere to stop for brunch on our way to the aquarium. Wanted to support somewhere local and chuffed to have found this gem. It's so quick and easy to get to from the A38 and the food and service was 5*. The staff were...

A great menu with all the usual items you would expect but some lovely original twists too. I had an egg and sausage bap and it was honestly the best I have had. The coconut bread my friend had looked amazing and I will definitely...

Went here today for Fathers Day breakfast. Oh man......OUTSTANDING, from the decor, to the staff, to the food, to the general ambience. We arrived and were sat quickly, drinks were prompt and the food wait was 10-15 mins and trust me, I’d have waited treble...

Clean, efficient, friendly, outstanding service, stunning food, great people. You can sit inside or outside on a lovely balcony. GREAT cake and fabulous coffee. The best in the area. 😊

We stopped off here for breakfast while camping locally and we were not disappointed! Amazing portion sizing, fresh, visually very appealing and the staff were so friendly. Planning our next breakfast visit already!

Amazing place with 5* food and excellent service definitely a place to go if you want a notch above!

Found this little gem while travelling home from Cornwall to Essex .lovely welcome great coffee and homemade cakes .and gorgeous puppy called Penny to fuss over .

Local but only just found out about this place. Out for a walk so popped in for coffee & some lovely home-made cake. Delicious. Looked at the Specials board - some yummy looking dishes for brunch & lunch. We shall be back very soon. Also...

I’ve visited twice now, once for brunch and then lunch. Both meals were excellent... delicious food, lovely surroundings and warm, friendly service. We will definitely be returning, probably on a regular basis!

We have visited The Orchard Kitchen several times. On every occasion the food and service has been wonderful- it has become a regular treat!

Great little cafe, both food and service were incredible. Me and my partner had lunch here and very much enjoyed the experience as we’re down here in Devon! Will definitely pop back in.

The guys at this place clearly have pride in what they do. Our lunch was awesome really fresh, tasty and imaginative not just the run of the mill quiche & salad. They have a superb selection of daily specials and they are. The service was...

First visit here and left feeling very happy. Lovely cafe area, friendly and attentive service, excellent breakfast cooked and plated by someone who clearly cares. I will be back with family and friends to try their lunch and coffee options.

Arriving famished on recent road trip to Devon from London we were fortunate to stumble upon The Orchard Kitchen. Seemingly the place has only recently opened and there was an enthusiasm that was reflected in both the service and the menu. The proprietor is an...

A beautiful cafe with a clearly well thought out menu, with sustainable, local, seasonal produce. The ever changing cakes, savoury treats and salads are my absolute favourite and I know that anything I order will be absolutely delicious here, so will keep coming back! Great...

I don't normally do reviews but feel I need to on this occasion for 2 reasons. 1, I have now visited the orchard kitchen a few times with family and friends and between us we have had a lot of the amazing meals. The produce...

A late birthday brunch with my girlfriends. What a find! Food is fresh, locally and ethically sourced, high quality, well-priced and more to the point absolutely DELICIOUS. Highly recommend the whipped feta special brunch. Great service in a relaxed setting with delightful shopping opportunity too....

We only intended on staying for a coffee, but couldn't resist a bacon sandwich. Local meat and perfectly done egg in the sandwich. Also amazing coffee which is so hard to find around here. We took some cakes home for later too and it was...

What a great find!! Stopped for breakfast on our way down to Looe. Such friendly service and superb breakfast. Will be visiting again!

Loved the breakfast! The beans were a game changer. Great to see local places using local products! Can get a decent log burner downstairs as well.

I’ve been here a few times now with my family, for breakfast. The menu is great, plenty of healthy and delicious choices to suit all my teenagers as well as my husband and myself. If you’re looking for a tasty breakfast that is a little...

After having a fantastic breakfast and a coffee, we had to try some cake. Was especially impressed that there were gluten-free options! Definitely will be visiting again!

Wow, unexpected find, we were looking for a new wood burner and went to look in dean forge and then found out they had a cafe on site. There was a great selection of dishes, all very wholesome and healthy but also great tasting. I...

I had a wonderful experience at The Orchard Kitchen. I had the chai carrot cake and a coffee, and my partner had the vanilla cake with fig and blackberries! All delicious! It’s a wonderfully humble and family run cafe, that clearly prides itself on organic,...

A wonderful addition to Dean Forge - delicious home cooked food, all freshly prepared! A good selection of food, whether for brunch, lunch or just a coffee and cake. The menu has been well thought out and there is a specials board, so lots of...

Orchard Kitchen was above my expectations in every way. The setting and atmosphere was exceptional and everyone was smiling. My first visit was for coffee and cake and I had to have a second coffee it was so good but unfortunately had no room for...

On a recent trip, my family and I popped in for breakfast. Service was fantastic, the cafe was busy but nothing was too much trouble. We felt welcomed and safe, particularly important in these troubled times. My youngest (10) is Pescatarian and enjoyed his Avacado...

Amazing food and atmosphere. Loads of top quality, locally sourced ingredients which made the whole experience so much more authentic. The staff are amazing, and very welcoming. One of my favourite places I’ve visited. Looking forward to returning.

Delicious food and coffee. Has one of the most flavourful breakfasts from a cafe I’ve ever had. Really great service and a beautiful setting. Locally sourced food as well. Defiantly worth a visit!!

I wad really looking forward to Orchard Kitchen as the food looked great. However I feel they got their pricing completely wrong and right now are probably at the top of prices for little food. Dartmouth where rates are higher, when you order crushed avocado...

I would highly recommend The Orchard Kitchen for a meal or just coffee and a slice of one of the many homemade cakes. I'd heard great things and wanted to be sure to get a table, so I booked a table for Saturday brunch for...
