As you walk in to the shop, you fell the beautiful smell of coffee. The layout is brilliant and the staff is incredible and extremely friendly.
I would recommend this place to everyone.
Some friends and I went to Coffee with Art on 9th March to celebrate a friends 50th birthday. The food was fab: 4 different types of finger sandwiches, large fresh scones with jam and cream and a super selection of little cakes all served on 3 tier stands. The staff were friendly and attentive but not intrusive and the service was great. Would definitely recommend it and will certainly go again.
Best coffee shop in town hands down. Both vegan panini's are banging as are the vegan cakes
Great coffee shop, very good coffee, very friendly staff, nice ambience; best in Bedford by far.
BUT, BUT, why, oh why have you stopped the chocolate cornflakes !!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, bring back the chocolate cornflakes !!!! :)
Fantastic place. My 3 friends and I had afternoon tea here and it was delicious. Food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was great. I totally recommend it. Will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic coffee and menu. Excellent place to work and stir up creativity. But best of all - the staff are wonderful. Thanks so much :)
It's adorable; a beautiful interior, friendly staff and good drinks, I would definitely recommend if you want to drink your coffee in style.
Good food, service good, lovely quirky place. Good selection of cakes.
Keep up the good work, we'll be back
I had an afternoon tea here yesterday and I had to mention how delightful it was. Staff were very friendly and attentive, I would highly recommend it. The cafe has a lovely cosy atmosphere and a quirky adorable decor.
Yesterday afternoon I had a lovely afternoon tea at Coffee with Ark with my friend. Just like to say thank you for the excellent serves. One of my favourite afternoon teas for portion sizes. Sweet little cakes to finish. Sandwiches were yummy on fresh bread. I would definitely come back. ���
Enjoyed afternoon tea..from the gorgeous teapots to the scrummy cakes we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves... the place has a lovely cosy feel about it... love the book wall.
Will be back 😀
Love this place!
Quirky, great coffee, attentive staff!
Fancy a change from the 'all look the same' coffee house franchises, then check this place out.
WOW wow wowzers what a place!!!! The atmosphere is something you won't generally see with such a modern old school feeling and intuitive out of the box solutions, I'm amazed.
Coffee and service quality exceeded all expectations and it's surprisingly cheap compared to most coffeeshops.
Shame I'm not local, would visit every day
I visited Coffee with Art with a friend a few weeks ago and just loved the atmosphere. I ordered an iced chai latte which was huge and definitely good value for the size of the drink. They also offer a variety of non-dairy milks. There are plenty of spaces to sit in the cafe with a variety of options ranging from comfy sofas to window stools. I saw plenty of people working in the café and the ambience was very positive and welcoming. I hope to come back for another visit, thank you!
Great fresh scones and muffins. Coffee milk was steamed for too long, lacked the smooth micro foam they have in other photos.
Good food and coffee with friendly service. The food portion sizes could be a bit bigger for the prices charged.
My favourite coffee shop- great atmosphere and so cozy- lovely staff too!! I always get the Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk and it is divine 💖
There's two simple reasons as to why this place has become an institution for café experiences in Bedford: great produce and great atmosphere.
The decor is chic, with multiple homages to classic cinema, retro technology and literature, which also includes a "wall of books". If only we could see the spines of those books to see what titles they were... The music was nice and mellow as well.
All coffee is 100% fair trade, and there are dairy alternatives available, making most hot drinks suitable for vegetarians, vegans and lactose intolerant. Their cappuccino and latte are both delicious, and you can taste that the coffee beans are roasted to perfection. Gluten free options are also readily available for nearly all the food options, so my partner (who has coeliac disease) was most relieved to be able to get a bacon and egg sandwich! ✅️ It hit the spot perfectly for her. I ordered the full English and was most impressed. Piping hot, well balanced and not too greasy. Perfection! 👍
We'll be back as soon as we can.
The interior design of this place is beautiful 😍, really eye pleasing and it gives a comfortable vibe. You can work, chat, be on your own, it just feels like you could fit in regardless of your needs. You should have seen the Christmas tree made out of books or the book wall, quite an interesting approach 👍🏻
The coffee was OK, I had a coconut latte 🥥☕️🖤 A nice latte art on one of the drinks, but not as good as in other coffee shops I have been to. Customer service was OK, felt like they were understaffed. I did not have any food but it looked delicious from what I have seen.
Finally, one good aspect is the variety of hot drinks from flavoured hot chocolate 🍫 to match Christmas season to a lot of non-dairy options and even matcha. I was impressed with that. I guess I will have to go back and try something else.
Great coffee and paninis. I’ve been here countless times and their consistency has stood the rest of time to becoming a well established and loved cafe in Bedford!
I love the cosy interior and look forward to a hot chocolate in the cold winter months ahead.
They have gluten free and vegan/plant-based options available.
Always my go to for a coffee whether it’s to have in or to go. Quick and friendly service and interior/atmosphere is just lovely. Delicious fresh food, and very clean. Clean toilets.
Great place to chill in town with a decent coffee. Tuna melt panini is proper bo!
