Our Reviews

  Really enjoyed breakfast here on a Saturday morning just before heading back to London after a week on the Grand Union Canal. We all (4) ordered quite substantial breakfasts (to... read more varying degrees) so I expected a bit of a wait but it was all delivered in great time. Mine won the prize for the heftiest - as the name Papa Grande would suggest! I cleared my plate but didn't need to eat until tea time.

And while the breakfast was substantial it wasn't from the pile 'em high school of presentation - we were all impressed by the way our meals were laid out and it wasn't just style over substance, as we all agreed they tasted fantastic. The staff were friendly and efficient too.

Definitely a winner for us and set me up nicely for the journey home and beyond.

  Perfect location for lunch, we sat overlooking the canal which was beautiful.
The food was excellent and the service by our lovely waitress Ruby even better!!! She was so attentive,... read more as we had to be somewhere at a certain time she was making sure we were served quickly.
Would definitely recommend this cafe.

  lovely bubbly young waitresses . Breakfast - food was v.good, but having to wait nearly an hour. Nice look out over canal.

  Stopped in for breakfast. I had a great seat in the lovely canal side sitting area (under cover). Service was terrific and, most importantly, so was the food. Great range... read more on the menu and would definitely eat here again.

  This café serves fantastic food! They serve modern style at a high standard with quality produce.
We came here for breakfast which did not disappoint. The cook even bought... read more out two extra runny poached eggs because he wasn't satisfied with the eggs he had made (too hard???)
Although very busy, we did not have to wait long for our food and the service was very attentive. They provide an outside area on the canal, also Air Con which always a nice touch on a hot day.
They don't just do breakfasts, they also do lunch/dinners so I would recommend this café for any time of the day.

  Delicious creamy chicken and mushroom penne pasta served for two, with finely grated parmesan and a sprig of mint.
Leighton Buzzard has some great bistro cafe venues, and The Vibes... read more must rank near the top for quality and value.

  I ordered "Chef special" online through their website, for collection at cafe, great taste and brialant takeaway package! Defiantly go back again thank you The vibes

  I always recommend the Vibes to friends and family and have never had a poor experience there. And I do go regularly with friends since I discovered it last year!... read more The menu is vast and varied with the basics being done well. Whether for breakfast/brunch (my favourite) or lunch/dinner, I’ve always been happy with my meal.
The presentation is also excellent and it would be easy to underestimate this place. It’s in a slightly difficult position on a main road with parking nearby but well worth the effort. The service is always prompt and friendly and in summer, the outside seating is wonderful!

  Friendly staff, wide selection of breakfasts. Decent sized portions for 7/8 quid. Recommend the Frenchios - bacon, sausage, hash brown, French toast, maple syrup and fruit... delicious.

  Went for a late brunch at midday. Staff were professional and friendly. Food was served fairly quickly and was of good quality. Fairly decent portion size as well which is... read more always appreciated! Coffee was also great.

  Went to try this place out. Just wanted coffee and the reaction from the owner was "should really be eating as well, but OK just this once. Ordered three coffee... read more and then waited nearly 25 minutes. The coffee was undrinkable, strange flavour (possibly overcooked bean) and way way too hot! The glass had a strange smell, a bit like detergent and I observed a child cleaning multiple glasses by the counter with a tea cloth. All so very unhygienic for this day and age. Absolutely will NOT be going back and would not recommend to anyone. I observed a fried breakfast being brought out which looked pretty shiny and greasy. Good luck everyone

  Popped in for Breakfast today, our first visit. Definitely not our last. Coffee was first class. Being dairy free they had Almond, oat and soya milk on hand!. Breakfast was... read more Amazing and plenty of it. You can always tell a good cafe by its brand of sauces. Heinz and HP here, not cheap rubbish. Presentation was perfect and service session a smile.
Greeted nicely on arrival and asked if everything was ok. Friendly waitress and great decor. Saw a couple having came a c coffee. The cake looked Awesome and was presented on a plate with dollops of cream and strawberries. Love this place!!

  We'd been to a function Saturday night and were looking for breakfast but nowhere appeared open then we found The Vibes, what a wonderful surprise. We were greeted when we... read more walked in the door, the waitress took our order promptly and cheerfully then checked that all was okay. The menu was excellent, as a vegetarian the full English vegetarian breakfast was perfect and my partners carnivore equivalent was just as good. Lovely touches like vine tomatoes. Coffee was excellent too. Well done!

  Was a nice place to visit but was skeptical when it came to what to order - as I am anywhere I go as I am a coeliac and can’t... read more eat gluten. I called in advance to ask if they have gluten free options, to which they said yes they are clearly marked on the menu. It also says on the menu they cannot guarantee that any of the food is 100% gluten free, and on our way out I realised everything was being fried on the same hot plate, so even the ‘gluten free sausages’ were now not gluten free. I understand it was marked on the menu gluten free, but as soon as this is cooked on the same plate and in the same oil as other non gluten foods they are no longer gluten free. If you take the time and care to mark up gluten free foods on the menu at least do the same to ensure they are cooked in a suitable manner - without contamination. Hope this helps to improve your knowledge on allergies and customer service
Thanks

  A good menu available and a good range of drinks. Located on a main road but you can sometimes park in the small car park by the roundabout.

  Love going here for breakfast. Always a great welcome as soon as you enter. The service is top notch and food is yummy fantastic. If anyone asks me where to... read more go I always send them to the vibes ❤️
