I visit often enough so it’s about time I left a review.
The food is consistently at a good standard and service is always very friendly. Child friendly too, with high chairs available.
Great that there is a takeaway option too, meaning I can buy my wife breakfast or lunch when she’s working from home.
I’ll be back again and again.
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!
It’s so nice to have the opportunity to buy a nice coffee and a decent sandwich served with a smile. Whenever I visit a school it’s never this good.
Love having the opportunity to sit in the cafe in the evening while watching one of my children play football outside on the 3G while the other one is playing basketball inside. Designed with parents in mind!
I wouldn’t normally write a review after just grabbing a quick coffee but I just wanted to say how fantastic the service was here at Costa in Grove! Thank you!!
Amazing staff with vegetarian & vegan food that is really tasty. Dog friendly. A total safe space. Occasional busy days due to large parties attending.
Came here with my boyfriend Gary, and what a fantastic place. Such a good idea with the lockers, we had a lovely table, candle was replaced immediately, the atmosphere is just right and nice back ground music.. Service quick and efficient and the toilets were spot on, clean, tidy, well maintained (I cannot stand a wonky loo seat) lovely soap. We have put our names on the wait list for a locker and I look forward to coming back. Thank you James.
The Little Green Truck was in Knole Park on this cold December afternoon the day after the Winter Solstice. I’d seen it as I started my long walk and had hot chocolate very much on my mind pretty much all the way round. I was not disappointed. Such a cheerful, friendly and super-efficient team and a marvellous hot choc. So pleased they’ll be back at Knole on Boxing Day -and likely to seek the little truck out in its more usual habitat.
This is such a welcoming little cafe. It is great for solo visits, friends or family. The coffee and cakes are delicious and the crumpets are yummy. Lots of nice treats on offer with really friendly service.
Being a key member of the local pride movement it was encouraging to see the landlord fully immersing himself in our culture, and wearing the full widow tranky garb. The selection of bar foods was immense with the highlights being the Pineapple Betty, Green Goddess dressing, and all puffs, tarts, crumpets. We will be returning soon. Highly recommended.
I live in Cliftonville & have just had my first take away from here. OMG absolutely outstanding. I ordered two “Smash Burgers” for myself & my daughter. Beautiful presentation & really fresh salad inside & to top it all the we’re divine. I’ll definitely be going again!
