My girlfriend and I drove from Roanoke, VA. up the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Peaks of Otter to take some pictures and just "explore" on a warm Saturday this past February. At the last minute we decided to drive home through Bedford.
It was about 11:30 and we were looking for some place to eat so we decided to drive though town. We spotted the small storefront (probably built in the 40's) with the hand painted sign "Gingerbread Cafe".
My girlfriend, Ginger said "let's see if they are open", so we parked down the street and walked back to the Cafe. We were the first customers of the day and two very nice ladies greeted us at the door.
We ordered at the counter, and one of the ladies brought our meal to us after we seated ourselves.
I ordered the fresh homemade toasted chicken salad sandwich and Ginger ordered an Italian Meatball Sub. Both came with chips and a pickle. To say the least, my sandwich was the best chicken salad I have ever had! Ginger said likewise about her Sub. The service was fast and the ladies were so polite. We had fresh ice tea with our meal, and it was delicious! The entire meal was under $12.00! There was a "tip" basket at the front of the Cafe as we went out. I made sure we contributed well for the great service and food.
I would recommend anyone from Roanoke (or anywhere else for that matter)to take the drive to Bedford and enjoy this quaint little friendly place!
Great food, priced very fair. Small business who tries to please it's customers.
Cute little cafe.: The Gingerbread Cafe is a nice little place to get a late breakfast or lunch. They open about ten thirty or so (depending on the owners whim) and close around four thirty. The food is nice and the people are friendly.
