What a delight! This is an absolute MUST if you find yourself in the vicinity of Bedford. Sit in the cosy restaurant-deli or sunny courtyard style garden. Pressed for time? Order takeaways or pick up from the many delicious homemade goodies! BONUS..Elegantly decorated, spotlessly clean bathroom. Oh! and don't forget the homemade nought to go with your coffee - you won't be sorry!

An amazing experience... a coffee shop with the name "Apprentice" but it should definitely rather be "Professional"! The best coffee, excellent food and delicatessen combined with friendly and effective staff and a hands on owner... the right person on the right spot at the right time! This "Apprentice" can challenge any similar coffee shop in the country! Bedford can be proud of it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We were delighted to find The Apprentice open yesterday, as nearly the whole town was taken over by a film crew. We had very, very good coffee and pancake. And we took quiche and freshly baked buns home. The buns were straight out of the oven. Very very nice and tasty. Will definitely return the this place

Busy atmosphere. Lovely white & black floir tiles. Excellent service. Seating inside & outside. Easy to access (from your table) toilets. Interesting menu but not too foreign. We'll be back.
