Espresso Head - Central Bedfordshire

I am a huge coffee lover, with four different ways to make coffee at home (not including instant coffee, but V60s and drip kettles). I was very impressed with Espresso Head. I loved the Icelandic theme, and the flat white I ordered was perfect, made with a light roasted espresso bean. An added bonus was that they had doughnuts from SAY Doughnuts! The barista was friendly and talkative, and all necessary precautions were taken with social distancing, screens, and contactless payment. If you live in Leighton Buzzard, you are lucky to have this place for your coffee fix. I even changed my route just to visit this amazing micro cafe!

I visited this place on Wednesday to pick up two coffees to go, and it was a pleasant surprise to see that they were open, even if only part-time. The coffees were absolutely delicious and satisfying; I had forgotten how good they were. I couldn't replicate this quality of coffee at home during the lockdown. I definitely plan on returning soon.

My 12 year old and I decided to stop for a hot drink while waiting for the library to open. Seems like it’s the only coffee place in Leighton Buzzard that is open at 8:30 in the morning(they open at 8). It was very cute and quaint. The coffee is very fresh and my son loved his Hot Chocolate. My son has Aspergers and has sensory issues with smell, sound etc and he felt VERY comfortable here so that is a major plus as it’s hard for me to find places I can take him without a meltdown. The owner/barista was very nice and welcoming. We sat inside (place for about 5-6 people to sit which worked for us at the time). Lots of people were in and out with their coffees and dogs are welcome too. The coffee shop offers items for sale including some coffee presses, hand drawn pictures and some amazing looking chocolate. We will definitely go back. X

Visit regularly on my way into town, normally go for a flat white but decided to give the iced coffee a try in this melting heat. I’m now a convert! Iced coffee all the way. Small, but perfectly formed Espresso Head is always a treat. Knowledgeable, friendly baristas, cozy interior and good prices I highly recommend!

Visited a few times but left very unimpressed with the quality of coffee. Very pretentious too. At least the lights a nice. One chap very rude.
