From the moment you arrive, there’s a gentle hum of conversation blended with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, inviting you to settle in at one of the many cozy spots inside or enjoy the open air seating just outside.

I’ve just moved into the area and this was my first time trying the coffee and drinks here. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was excellent. I’d highly recommend coming here for a drink and something to eat, and I’ll definitely be coming back often.

Excellent place for a drink and a bite to eat, very good service and delicious food. Pretty expensive but you get what you pay for, good quality food and great service.

A great little coffee house in the centre of Ampthill. I had a cappuccino which was very nice but not very hot, I had to drink it straight away otherwise otherwise would have gone cold very quickly but overall a place I would definitely recommend.

Always love the experience at Surfin but wanted to post today as my daughter has a dairy and soya allergy. They had an oat flapjack that was suitable for her and the server asked if it was for allergies and also said he would use a clean piece of equipment to reduce the chance of cross contamination. It’s thoughtful comments like this that make an allergy parents life a lot easier. Thank you

Lovely place to have a catch-up and a coffee and watch the world go by. Really good selection of food and drink, all of good quality. Staff always polite and service is very good. Gets pretty busy at the weekend but we have always managed to find a table inside or out.

Great for a stop and snack visit.Plenty of seating outside (sometimes covered with canopy on wet days or when extremely sunny) limited space inside. Wide range of sandwiches, baps, pastries, toasties and panninis.Friendly staff and good service.

Wanted to try a new coffee shop after our swim in Flitwick and heard very good things about Surfin Cafe. It did not disappoint! Lovely setting, coffee, food. Amazing music too! Sipping my drink to realise I was listening to Pink Floyd and The Smiths, topped off an already excellent experience. Personally greeted by the owner or maybe manager, not too sure but a thick Scottish accent was a nice touch. I would thoroughly recommend!
