Well, its another costa coffee place. The only one in Bedford, I believe.
The staff are lovely- very friendly people indeed. Only major annoyance I have is how the air con makes the back of the cafe really really COLD! :( All the comfy seats are practically arctic. So, sit somewhere on a hard seat to maintain normal human internal temperature!
Also, it'd be nice if there was a second toilet- there's only one for men/ women/ disabled, and while it suits the needs of all genders and performs its primary function well, its pretty annoying to down a skinny latte and realize that the really fat sweaty guy got in there just before you... and he didn't look too steady after the sugar rush double espresso... ew...
Still, polite service, the seats that wont freeze you are wonderful, there's ample opportunity to gawk at the freaky locals of Bedford's inbreeding programme (there are some seriously strange people, honest!) and the book store is a short trot out the door straight up the street. Mix that with a large mint tea, a lightly toasted chocolate panettino, a good philosophy book and BANG! Thats a perfect afternoon! read more
