Portuguese mini market

10 St Mary’s St, Bedford MK42 0AS

Your one stop shop for all Portuguese vittels and a cheery welcome from Jose and Paula. We love the pasteis de nata with great Nicola coffee. A friendly, Portuguese welcome and bacalhau (salted cod) being their bestseller.  Paula will knock up a hearty sandwich from their quality deli items

Toco Coffee Company 

It was a happy day when I came across his gorgeous little van, stationed in Harpur Square, Wednesday to Saturday. A real find. Offering excellent coffee from the owner’s family farm in Brazil, I’m willing to stick my neck out and say this is the best you will find in Bedford!  Also offering a tempting range of sweet treats as well as roasted beans, I don’t think you will be disappointed….

Meat & More

7 North Parade, Greyfriars, Bedford Mk40 1JF

Surely should be named “Meat & so much more”! Primarily a butcher’s shop specialising in cuts of lamb, it also offers rotisserie chicken and homemade merguez sausages (Brian rates these very highly!) This friendly North African grocery shop is a delight! Great homemade bread, a range of fresh olives, tagines, storecupboard ingredients and so much more! The guys who own this shop are super friendly and helpful.

Mr Pretzel (dormant)

17 Greyfriars, Bedford MK40 1HJ

You may have walked past this place in the few months it has been open, but I heartily recommend you pay a visit. Being a major fan of the pretzel, this is like manna from heaven for me! Freshly baked on the premises, these soft and salty swirls are totally moreish. For the more sweet of tooth, you will find a range of exotic looking pastries – I noted some containing Turkish delight….

Delicious home-cooked curries straight from Samina’s kitchen, delivered free of charge, by her husband. Authentic recipes, generous portions, lip-smackingly good. Our latest favourite is the all day Sunday desi breakfast – Samina’s paratha are of the scale tasty! Watch out, you may get hooked!
