The man working the till was so helpful kind and patient, he leant me a socket to charge my phone which had died, and spent time talking with me as I waited for my bus! He was truly such a kind person

I visit Pumpkin Cafe at Kettering railway station whenever I travel to London. It’s great! The service is quick, and we always have a little catch-up on the week. It also beats the train coffee, hands down. If you’re passing through Kettering station and you have time, I recommend a visit.

This is a great little stop if you’re close by or travelling. Gone are the days of nightmarish tar British Rail coffee and stale butties. The coffee is fresh and very good. The food selection is good for a pitstop, particularly the fresh cakes. **Eva** is my favourite Barista, always a few kind words and banter, fast service and always gets my order spot on correct. And her suggestions for something different or a cold alternative are always on point. Charging points available if you bring a plug. Check the pictures. A friendly stop - and a really good cuppa. Can’t fault it.

I was with my colleagues and had 4 minutes to go on my train, and Ben kindly insisted on making me a coffee in that short time! I was able to get my oat latte because of him :) Made my day a bit brighter! Thank you Ben. L
