We visited CafƩ The Vibes in Leighton Buzzard for a family birthday breakfast (6 of us in total). We all ordered something different, along with fruit shakes and lattes.
The service was mixed ā we were seated quickly and our waitress was very friendly and attentive, but the rest of the staff seemed less engaged.
The food was disappointing overall. My breakfast (1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 bacon, beans) was let down by fatty bacon, an overcooked sausage, and an egg with undercooked whites. One of the kidsā smashed avocado breakfast was underwhelming, and the French toast lacked flavour. The pancakes and fruit were fresh, and the shakes were enjoyable, though rather overpriced.
The cafĆ© itself is clean with quirky dĆ©cor, though not really to my taste. One improvement would be the music choice ā Lil Wayne at 9am felt a little out of place for a breakfast setting.

Most staff very rude however, one young boy with piercings and brown hair was...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFantastic breakfast choices. We had New York breakfast which was very nicely cooked served with fruit and Vibes Granola Special, which was delicious plus a pot of tea for two. Really good service and food came quickly. Sat in semi-open area downstairs overlooking canal. Nice to be able to see kitchen upstairs ( which is ground floor). If their other good is up to this standard then a great place to eat. Update from Feb 2022: Still a great place for casual eating, had their Frenchies breakfast today and a week ago had Chef's pasta special, all great with lovely service. My first time in several weeks having been in hospital for a back operation, food and service continues to be great. Prices have obviously had to rise slightly due to VAT and inflation, but still great value. And another visit reconfirms our...
