Bex Kitchen

Fresh healthy delicious gourmet lunch place. Very country chic décor. Lots of options. Great food gift items. Very high end. Take out or sit in. Will make you feel warm and fuzzy and satisfied in a healthy way.

Went for brunch and got a bunch of food and it was all amazing! The salads were really fresh, healthy and delicious. The scotch egg was delish; it was a boiled egg surrounded by sausage and breadcrumbs. It’s definitely worth the drive!

I discovered this place one day when I was casually riding my bicycle. Came back a few weeks later and ever since I have been visiting this lovely place at least once a month. Breakfast is great, lunch is amazing, and brunch is out-​of-​this-​world.
Not sure what ever happened to the ricotta poppy seeds lemon pancakes though.
Great for out-​door seating when the weather is nice.
I highly recommend this place.
They are friendly btw.

It seems like my prior post from many months ago was erased. So I will review once again. I find nothing appealing to Bex. I must have waited over half an hour for my food. Grant it the place got packed with tourists (cyclist coming into town) but for moments like these you have to be prepared. It was my first and last time in there. They were so disorganized. They couldn’t handle the crowds clearly. I also attended a fundraiser where they catered the event and the good was sub par. They should never try to do a Mexican food station again. I met the owner that night and I couldn’t even compliment her.

Bex is my go-​to for a delicious breakfast or lunch. The menu is creative and the food is prepared with local, often times organic ingredients. My favorites are the Bex burrito and curry chicken salad sandwich.
My kids love croissants and Bex makes by far the best in the area. They are light, flaky, buttery and delicious.
I am surprised to read that a Unilocaler perceived the Bex staff as unfriendly and annoyed by kids. The staff is lovely. They are warm, friendly and helpful. I have two small children and they are greeted with big smiles, given drinks in cute milk bottle kids cups, and slipped samples of desserts.

Nice spot to grab coffee and something to nibble on, but they aren’t exactly friendly, especially if you have the nerve to bring a small child with you.

Stopped in for late lunch for the first time, very cute place right on The Columbia Trail. I had the grilled cheese — AMAZING (Gruyère with fig jam and arugula), friends had the jerk chicken sandwich (excellent) and the quiche with fruit (very good). Delicious drink choices and friendly service. Lots of healthy options and grain salads. A bit pricey but worth it, and since the food is made to order be patient! They also have baked goods to go and some gourmet items for sale like nut butters and Saltopia Salts. Definitely worth the stop, we will be back.

Amazing food that oh don’t feel guilty about eating
My only complaint is that sometimes it takes quite some time for the drinks to come out and I like my drink a few minutes, not 10 after I sit
Food, staff and clientele are all absolute gems

Cute, clean, charming setting. Went for lunch there with the kids as part of a Columbia Trail adventure. Everything was tasty and fresh. I’m not sure that anyone ended up actually eating what they ordered – when the food came up, we swapped, since we were all more interested in the looks of what was on someone else’s plate – but everyone was happy with their meal. It was a slow day at Bex… not many customers at the time of our visit, but also seemed to take a long time to get our orders.
This seemed to be a place where you order at the counter and pick up at the counter – at least that is what we did. Staff at the counter seemed friendly enough.
We’d go back – great stop when you’re exploring the area or need to take a break from your hike/​bike/​run/​whatever on the trail.

Ate there once. We ordered breakfast. Nice portions, tasty food, good price. We will visit again if in area

Who would have expected this in Califon. Good food, nice outdoor seating, good coffee in real mugs. Great stop on the Colombia trail.

Slow service and over priced menu. The actual food itself was delicious and that is the only reason for my two stars but I wouldn’t recommend BEX to any one else.

Great food, one of the few food places both my girlfriend and I love. She is very healthy and I jus love great food. They have a turkey Ruben I love and a quinoa burger that she loves. A bit of a drive, but a great drive that is very relaxing.

biscuit sandwich is awesome. buttery goodness. mustard surprise on bottom biscuit slice. just eat it.

Great place to stop and have lunch at. The salads and sandwiches are all made fresh. The chicken salad on a croissant is very tasty.

Stopped in today for lunch. Everything was great. The service, atmosphere and food. We can’t wait to go back

Bex Kitchen certainly charges A LOT for their low-​quality food. Everything is frozen, nothing fresh. The wait staff is inattentive. Mediocre at best. Every time I have eaten there I have been unimpressed with everything about this place. Califon is a great place to be but Bex Kitchen does not live up to its standards. NEVER eating here again.

I cannot say enough about the food at BEX Kitchen.
The chef, Becky, is simply outstanding and blends freshness to refined, delicate and truly amazingly flavorful tastes! The menu is always mouthwatering, and tasting it will certainly blow you away! She will make the effort to select her produce locally, she is hugely versatile in what she can make and has a wide array of knowledge that she will gladly share with you. Her cooking is more European, hence leaner, flavorful and a sure hit for anyone with a passion for true flavors.
Becky is terrific a hidden treasure of the area –make sure to stop by if you’re around!
The only reason why I’m unfortunately holding back my review to 3-​stars is that we hired their service for catering and, sadly, we did not have the best experience with them for the organizational aspect of the event. Unfortunately, there were many unforeseen outcomes and the costs were not properly broken down. Granted, we do not cater often so we may not be familiar with the common customs of it. However, more guidance would have made everything so much better and would have prevented the heartburns we had when we saw the bill.
I would still recommend them to anyone interested in stopping by for a bite or for their catering services. If you do hire them for catering, simply ask as many questions as necessary until you feel fully comfortable and make sure that you truly understand everything that is being presented to you (especially the bill).
I’m dearly hoping that this last part of my review will not be applicable soon enough as I’m thinking that this was maybe just a mishap due to a learning process.
I wish them the best of success as they truly deserve it!

After a relatively long walk on the adjacent Columbia Trail, we stopped here for brunch. Was actually looking for lunch and a sandwich but they only do brunch on Sundays. Wife had a salad and it was delicious. Forgot the name but had cheese, apple strips, candied walnuts and mixed greens. She loved it. I opted for the ricotta pancakes. They were spectacular. Light, tasty and with the real maple syrup a total delight.
Service was excellent and now my wife is looking forward to the coming supper club.

I was very disappointed to learn that Bex no longer serves dinner. As noted on my 3÷22÷13 feedback, I thought the food was very good.
I suspect they stopped serving dinner due to low turnout. However, I never saw Ben doing any advertising that they served dinner. Everything appeared to be word-​of-​mouth.
That does not work in Califon and surrounding areas. Bex needs to advertise. You gotta spend a few bucks to make lots of bucks.
Bad decision to end dinner.
