Me and my daughter visited here this morning while waiting for her car to be fixed, this little cafe had so much choice of food and drink and the lovely ladies who run it are so friendly and helpful!! Food is excellent, fresh and huge portions for a very reasonable price, we took their amazing homemade cakes home with us! We're kind of hoping our car breaks down again soon so we can have an excuse to come here again!

It'd not high level boutique- thank goodness, but proper older style cafe and the lady serving today was SO helpful re our vegan needs and went out of her way to help.The food we had was great, vgn friendly after her assistance and amazing value. I don't pass this part often but will know where to go next time

Tom's Cafe is a caravan style cafe located next to a an industrial estate and open field off Tring Road; serving home cooked breakfast, sandwiches and drinks. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are great value. While it does not have any indoor seating and caters to takeout, the outside seating - in the form of two benches and two tables s - is convinient. The egg and bacon omelette I ordered was full of flavour and big chunks of mushroom and bacon. The coffee could be improved but a good choice for those on their way to Whipsnade Zoo. Highly recommended for some simple hearty food.

Lovely friendly welcome to this cafe on a Business Park near the Eaton Bray/ Dagnall Rd roundabout on Tring Rd. Also you can access it from the lower path under Dunstable downs ... the path is not marked on maps but the gate is physically there! Good coffee and cakes and a breakfast baguette for us. Sun was out so we gazed at Dunstable Downs from wooden picnic benches outside. Thanks for a warm welcome and efficient service!
