Description

Coffee with Art

Coffee With Art was created in early 2013 by two friends Ian Tarvit and Michal Polak .

The business opened it’s doors to the public on 20th December 2013.

82 High Street was built in the 1870’s. Our shop is the second oldest building in the High Street, Bedford .

Originally occupied by T.P Clare & Sons watchmaker for nearly 90 years, the shop has seen a wide variety of uses from dry cleaners, video store to a recruitment agency.

The shop had a 1970’s style shop front which had been showing its age in recent years. We linked with Bedford Borough Town heritage scheme and heritage lottery funding scheme to create new shop front reminiscent of early days when T.P Clare & Sons the watchmaker ran his business. Using old archive photographs skilled craftsmen created the “new” shop front . The transformation from old 1970’s style shop to what we see today has been tremendous. The interior was left to Ian and Michal to add their unique stamp to the coffee shop as we see it today .

Coffee with art has a warm relaxed feel to it, perfect for meeting friends to business meetings, with the lure of an extensive food and beverage menu to cater for all tastes. Fantastic coffee, loose leaf teas, freshly prepared food, beers, wines and a selection of spirits to compliment our coffee. It’s the ideal place to unwind and relax.

Coffee with Art has some unique features which are now part of the fabric of the building, such as the wall of books and the “exploding Library”. Local Art work is displayed and changed every few months to give a constant changing look to the environment. It’s what makes Coffee with Art so special.

The shop also offers free wi-fi, baby chairs, disabled access and disabled toilet.

Poor customer service. Rude, unwelcomming, overpriced. If you see this, do not go. There are 4-5 much better cafe's in Bedford.

I've been going to this cafe fairly regularly for some years. Today's visit was my last. Apparently the item I ordered from the menu wasn't available. This happens, but I wasn't informed until some significant time after I had placed my order. I was asked to select something different. I did. Some time later, a different staff member appeared and angrily asked me what I wanted. Since I had already been there for some time, I asked for my order to be cancelled and refunded. The staff member became angrier and asked me what I wanted. I told them what I had ordered. Some time later, they slammed down a plate of food (still not what I had asked for) and stormed off. I didn't eat the food and I won't be going back.

I've come to enjoy this place over the years, good atmosphere, good service, although the staff they had previously were a lot more friendly. I find this new set of staff a bit rude, one in particular who I won't name. Only thing I don't like is they over do it with the AC when it's not even hot outside, so sometimes it feels a bit cold in there. If it wasn't for that I'd give it a 5 star rating!
