What Mkwire doesn't like about Pumpkin Cafe:
We arrived at the train station at 9:15 am with some time to spare before our train. Despite the window displaying opening hours of 6:30 am, the restaurant was closed and locked. We ended up going to the kiosk next door instead. View all feedback. What BQLondoner likes about Pumpkin Cafe:
Arriving off the train from London at Milton Keynes Central we had the choice to grab breakfast either at AMT or the Pumpkin Café. I'm glad we visited this place. The staff are extremely friendly, they double up as guides to help visitors to MK get where they need to go, plus the bacon butties and coffee we had for breakfast hit the spot and tasted good. Although there is a limited selection of sandwiches on offer, t... View all feedback.

The restaurant meets basic needs, but offers a limited selection of sandwiches. The coffee is okay, but there is no competition from other eateries.

Nestled near the Milton Keynes Central train station, Pumpkin Cafe offers a mixed experience for travelers seeking a quick bite. While some guests report friendly staff and tasty bacon butties, others find the ambiance marred by unpleasant management and inconsistent service. Frequent complaints highlight rubbery rolls and lukewarm coffee, further dampening the café's charm. With limited food options and a challenging environment, many suggest opting for nearby alternatives like Costa Coffee. Despite its potential, the café struggles to maintain a welcoming atmosphere, making it a gamble for those in need of a satisfying meal before catching a train.
