Simple decor, reasonably clean with plenty of seating. Excellent selection of drinks including a limited choice of alcoholic ones. Lots of home made cakes and treats available alongside more substantial breakfasts, lunches and snacks. We were here for breakfast and had: two small breakfasts, one vegetarian breakfast and a bacon sandwich on brown. They all arrived at the same time and everything was hot and cooked nicely. Although two of the breakfasts were 'small' they certainly included everything you could want; sausage, bacon, hash brown, beans, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast. The bacon in the sandwich was perfect, brown enough to have taste, but not over-cooked or crunchy. All of our meals came with tea and it was served in decent sized mugs, steaming hot and brewed properly. The people running the cafe were pleasant, friendly and chatty. The prices were very good for the quality of food and service we received. Excellent all round and we will definitely return.

I like this cafe, it's very cyclist friendly. Is handily located in a village between Bedford and St. Neots. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had anti coronavirus measures in place. My coffee was good. Although the cakes I had we're good too, the selection was rather limited on the day I visited. The prices were reasonable. Overall I think I'll be very happy to return. September 2022 - my comments above are still valid. August 2023 - comment still valid. December 2023 - had a lovely fresh scone.

Really pleasantly surprised with this one. Great English breakfast served all day and decent coffee. Outside dining if warm enough and large inside dining area. Parking immediately behind cafe. No smashing of avocado or salmon, but wide enough menu for most to find something they like. Friendly staff. Credit card payments taken.

Had lunch here with my eldest daughter and her pup yesterday. I’m just in the process of moving into the area. Food was fabulous home cooked and good portion sizes. Definitely will return.

What a hidden gem! Lovely, friendly owners serving quality home made food. The Cajun chicken burger was a whole chicken breast covered in tasty Cajun spices (so moist and tender) with salad and tasty red onion home made relish. Great chips too! Lots of home made cakes to choose from. All safety measures are in place for COVID-19 and there is a lovely patio area and ample parking. Highly recommended : )

The service and food is decent quality and good value. The service is friendly and accommodating. Will be my go to place locally for breakfast / lunch. The bacon was excellent quality! The only area it could improve is the atmosphere/decor of the restaurant itself.
